Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1991

Chapter 1991: Righted

Fanelei waved a hand and Eliwine was yanked up by his hair, his body barely having the strength to limply remain alive. He had tied the Lineage Scorpion too tightly to himself that its destruction was no different from the destruction of a real Spirit of his own. It was like someone had taken an axe right to his Will.

It was nothing short of devastating.

Although Maldrith hadn't had the full scope of understanding of what was going on before, he, too, could put two and two together now. At the very least, whatever else the Scorpions had done, this was definitely a betrayal.

Every time the Lineage Spirit moved, it took with it a great amount of Karma, gifting it to the next generation. This was why they held the gathering right before the next cycle of Emperor was meant to be decided upon.

Eliwine holding onto the Spirit was not just a matter of betraying the branches of the Scorpion Lineage, it was also him hoarding Karma not meant for him.

Clearly, this wasn't just so that he could concentrate it onto his descendants. It was also for the sake of his very own power.

He was trying to bolster his chances of ever reaching beyond Legend and becoming an S-tier. Who knew, if he hoarded enough of the Karma within himself, he might be able to tip the balances so that the Scorpion Lineage would have become one of the four pillars, and then maybe even their ruler one day.

The longer this went on without them understanding that they were being stabbed in the back by one of their own, the more chances the Scorpion Lineage would have had to manipulate things.

And all of this could have only been possible because the Scorpion Lineage had somehow managed to manipulate their system from right under their noses.

But how?

The Scorpion Lineage wasn't exactly a cut above in terms of Rune Mastery. Granted, they had little idea how easy or difficult it would have been. After all, none of them were thinking of betraying their family like this.

It couldn't be said that The Sanctum was harmonious, but they still had their own sense of belonging and every intention of taking every step forward as one. Together.

They had, thus, never studied the formations of the system for the sake of tricking it.

And yet, as intelligent as all of these Ancestors and Emperors were, they arrived to the same conclusion at the same moment.

Earth Escape.

That was how.

The formations that formed the underpinning of The Sanctum were located deep in the foundation of their world. There was only one entrance, but if someone wanted to get there without others knowing... what better method could there possibly be outside of this cowardly ability?

With their ability to shift right through the earth as though walking on solid ground, it was no wonder they had managed to make it so far undetected.

"Eliwine." Rikkon, the 713th Ape Emperor, growled out the word as though he was drinking the foulest of poison. He was furious, but he was also embarrassed.

Though the 713th Whale Emperor had spoken of Maldrith being an outsider, they still couldn't help but feel that Sylas was also one. It was like they were airing out their dirty laundry in front of a stranger. A stranger that some of them had been hesitating about just moments ago.

Sylas, though, didn't seem to care. He took a step and appeared by Fanelei's side, looking down on Eliwine's state.

Honestly, he had never met this man before. He could guess who he was, but he still didn't care exceptionally much.

Unceremoniously, he stretched out a palm and a scythe formed in it, crafting itself out of air and rotating Runes of black and death.

Then Sylas cut.
