Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1983

Chapter 1983: Be Gone

Sylas' original intention wasn't to create an Armor so powerful. This easily placed the Serpentes Armor on a level all to its own compared to the others.

Its Layers didn't even remotely reflect what it had once been. It was like it was a completely different Armor entirely. Part of Sylas even hesitated to release it back to The Sanctum.

This wasn't because he valued it so much, he hardly cared. He had created something like this once, he could certainly do it again. In fact, he would surely forge something even better in the future.

Also, the Whale King Armor, despite not incorporating any Sins, was no less powerful. After all, its creation was built on the back of Fathomless Rune Creation.

The real reason was instead that he didn't know how this sort of thing would impact the Serpentes Lineage. It might make them very strong... but it might also destroy them from the inside out.

What made this Armor so powerful was the Wills that formed it, Wills that came from two extremely powerful Sins.

Sylas had been forced to meld them into one because two Sins forging one body was usually not how the Madness Disciples did things. This would make it far easier to obscure.

What the impotent system had proved was that it wasn't all that difficult to pull the wool over its eyes so long as you were prepared.

But Sylas didn't want to be in a situation where the Serpentes Lineage had an Armor so powerful it couldn't even begin to use it. At that point, what would be the point?

Not everyone was as powerful as he was.

But even as Sylas had the thought... he realized that he already had the solution.

He raised a hand and the Ape Emperor Will thrummed.

'The Serpentes will be Lust and Gluttony. You... will be Wrath and Pride.'

As much as people observing probably thought Sylas cared a great deal about his Monkey King Armor...

He didn't.

It didn't have some special place in his heart, he didn't think it to be some cream of the crop powerful Armor that would sit atop all the others. In fact, he didn't care all that much if the Monkey Lineage Mountain crumbled to ash right this very moment.

It had already served its purpose. It got Sylas' Grimblade Clan a foothold into the higher reaches of A-tier Races, it had helped him sneak into The Sanctum, and its Armor had helped him out in a difficult battle or two... That was all he had ever needed from it.

Now, it could step aside.

Lust and Gluttony worked so well together because one enhanced Charisma and the other enhanced Will. Just the basic First Layer ability of the Armor would grant the user an extremely powerful telekinesis... the Second Layer would grant them access to Martial Telekinesis... and the Third Layer would grant them a perfect Martial Telekinesis, one where they could directly manipulate the Serpent King Gene they were granted by the system.

While they wouldn't be able to use telekinesis on all of their Genes like Sylas could, this could be a bridge point that just might allow them to.

To create an Armor that gave a Lineage access to a type of Martial Arts even the God Realms held in reverence... It could only be said that Sylas had truly touched an unreachable level of Rune Mastery.

And yet, he planned to give the Ape King Armor abilities no less magnificent.

The Seed of Wrath granted one endless physical prowess in exchange for one's fury.

The Seed of Pride granted one the ability to endlessly suppress and crush the Wills of others.
