Sylas didn't have the time to care about this other stuff. He had spent quite a bit of time with the Omnimous, enough to know that it was interesting, but it wasn't the sort of thing he wanted to pursue.
The problem wasn't that the Omnimous wasn't powerful. It was instead that the dedication he would need to put into growing himself in a field that ultimately came down to resources and preparation... it wasn't good enough.
In fact, it would only leave more room for mistakes.
The more he had to prepare in advance, the more of a chance enemies he didn't understand could get a leg up on him and the more he would struggle.
By comparison, if he instead focused on his Dao, and using the more adaptable strength of his body, he would be able to better shift with the tides and react to unexpected outcomes.
In truth, these were only small reasons. He didn't actually care all that much about these things at all.
He just liked his current path more. That was all it came down to.
Sure, if he followed the Omnimous to the end, he could probably build things that would leave even the God Realm itself in shambles. But the satisfaction wasn't the same for him.
The Omnimous didn't respond for a moment. It dragged on for so long that it almost felt like it might make the decision to rescind its offer.
However, Sylas was unsurprised by the true outcome.
"I will obey," it said.
The Omnimous was an intelligence that was hard to fathom. It didn't make decisions lightly, and it wouldn't emotionally change that decision just because of a little matter.
In truth, this wasn't exactly what one would call a "small matter." Its duty was to survive first and foremost, and only in rare circumstances would it deviate from this. For it to waste energy on someone it hadn't chosen felt like absolute blasphemy to its original programming.
It hadn't even been willing to do this with the previous Sylas, let alone for the current Alex.
But after it had made its decision, it ultimately felt that the best chance for it to reach its former glory was by following Sylas.
Which also meant that anything Sylas said was something that it must abide by, even if it didn't ultimately like the decision.
If it could have made these perfect decisions on its own, then it wouldn't have ever been in a situation where it needed to conserve energy in the first place.
The Omnimous lacked the flexibility of the living, and because of that it had been forced to hop from owner to owner, hoping for the best.
Now that it had finally found Sylas... now wasn't the time to consider other things.
Sylas plucked the Omnimous out of the skies and tossed it to Alex as though it were a normal ball.
