Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 2039

Chapter 2039: Flashes

Sylas somewhat expected this answer. Professor Fembroise's existence felt a bit... random, almost like it wasn't meant to be. The design was also a bit shoddy, and it didn't align with the usual cleverness of the First Race of Humans.

Of course, Vesta's existence itself was actually quite amazing. The complexity and skill it would take to create a Human capable of snatching the abilities of a Basilisk just because she was in its belly during its evolution didn't need to be explained.

The fact that the First Race could even use someone so powerful as a mere decoy to hide their truest intentions and plans spoke for itself.

The fact that Alex could see through the fact that Professor Fembroise was just a decoy also spoke volumes. He knew a lot of what he knew not because someone had told him. It was because Alex had deduced all of these things himself and he had eventually learned to act on them.

If not for Sylas' existence, the former number one genius of Earth's Legacy Branch would have long since been surpassed by Alex. But knowing Alex, that would have probably been done in secret as well.

The man was cautious, and his personality was a lot more inconspicuous than Sylas' was.

All things considered, there was one thing that Alex did have Sylas beat in. While Sylas' ability had been unearthed and documented by Legacy, Alex's was not. He was tagged a mere Bronze Talent.

What did you do with a decoy, though?

Well, you used it as a decoy.

But Sylas also wasn't the army-raising type.

What he could do, however...

'I wonder. Can they mimic the Gold Race?'

Somehow, Vesta had gained a lot of the abilities of Gogo. Of course, this was from when Gogo was far weaker, but Sylas had noticed something extremely curious back then as well.

Vesta had somehow also been given an upgraded Race Grade.

By now, that mattered little to Sylas who could have already become a Demi-God—or, rather, it seemed to matter little. In reality, it was a truly shocking matter that a Race Grade could be increased so easily.

Right now, Sylas could only easily improve the Grimblades. And by that, he meant that he could just improve himself to by extension improve them since he was technically their Ancestor now.

But the rest of the people of Earth were far behind.

Once again, under usual circumstances, he actually wouldn't care. To say that he had neglected them was worse than an understatement.

For once, however... Sylas would listen to his mother. Or rather, he would listen to her about something that went beyond just a small matter.

He had been neglecting Earth too much.

In fact, it was possible that Earth could feel this. Otherwise, his synergy with the world wouldn't be stuck at the Bronze level it was at now.
