Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 2127

[Bonus chapter thanks to Ssaoti and BobTheEngineer <3]

Sylas' eyes narrowed.

There had to be something special about the Heavens that allowed them to specialize in one of the Core Stats. Their laws were being perfectly dictated by something, and they had either been divided as they were for a purpose, or the universe had naturally manifested itself that way.

A fusing of two Heavens was not normal in the slightest, and Sylas had a feeling it wasn't just going to be the Mortal Realm this happened in.

The Demi-God Realm was being roped in. The Angels were using proxies because maybe even they didn't know what the result of such a large change would be. But what they did know was that they wanted a piece of that pie.

Why not use the Thryskai as their pawns, then? What was the difference?

Maybe the Angels were already aware that the Thryskai were Demons and this wasn't as much of a secret as Sylas thought it was. In fact, maybe while Sylas had assumed that it was the Angels who were suppressing the Thryskai… Maybe it was the other way around.

The Thryskai that were on the Real Plane seemed weak and fragile to Sylas, but what if the pressure they could apply to the Angels from the Demon Plane was so great that the Angels had no choice but to take this approach?

It felt like the entire situation had flipped on its head and things that Sylas felt he had had a good grasp on were flying out of the window one after another.

If it was truly the case that the Thryskai were more in control than he thought, then maybe rather than playing into the hands of the Angels, he was actually still actively playing into the hands of the Thryskai by exposing things ahead of time like he had.

The difference was that rather than playing into the hands of a relatively small player like Rhykan…

Whoever was pulling the strings this time was probably a God. Not in the God Spirit sense, not in the casually thrown around sense, but in the truest sense there could be.

Sylas exhaled a breath and released his hold on his Hibernation Realm. The projection of his Legendary City snapped back and vanished.

The planet reacted like a rubber band that had just been stretched taut and then suddenly released. Buildings collapsed and it felt like the sun itself was falling out of the sky as it shook in its gravitational orbit.

Sylas, though, was still lost in thought. He already knew there was a difficult challenge on the horizon, but he had planned to deal with it.

He didn't expect that one of the trump cards he planned to use to deal with it would be a piece in a much larger game.

One of the methods he had set aside to ensure he would be able to deal with the First Race was making sure that he would secure the Mancer Scape's secrets before anyone else did. But would the Thryskai and Angels allow him to do that so easily?

However…

'They were too casual.' Sylas thought.

Right now, he was in better position than anyone to claim those rewards. The Sanctum was effectively under his control. He just needed to become its Progenitor.
