Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 2177

BOOM.

Sylas and Kairos both went flying. A roaring golden light spilled out from the stone. It didn't just feel like something was being born, it was almost like a natural force was being birthed into the world for the first time.

The first storm, the first tsunami, the first hurricane, the first meteor shower.

It hit them both with the same fanfare and a flood of Will so powerful it suffocated and swallowed everything, nearly snuffing out not just one, but both of their Pride Seeds at the very same time.

Sylas coughed up a mouthful of blood, his innards rattling nearly out of his control. The shredding and pressure placed on him was so great it almost felt like something had placed their hands into his body and had begun slowly tearing it apart with the shredding, sheer forces of a god's palms.

By the time he eventually managed to slow himself to a stop, it felt like he was nearly a planet's length away from where he had been before. He could see the enormous canopy of the tree that covered the planet in the distance, but more importantly than any of that, he could see the golden pillar that ran so large it split right through it and out the other side of the planet.

It was something that should have destroyed it completely, and yet instead of triggering something like this, there was instead a tiny lull before the golden beam of light shrank.

Slowly, it became more and more obvious that this wasn't just a streak of powerful light. No, it was something far more tangible, something far more real, something you could reach out and touch if you truly dared to go so far.

And when that "beam" finally shrunk down to its final form, what it was became obvious.

A staff.

A staff that now rested in the hands of a young golden monkey whose gaze faced the ground as though still in a deep slumber.

Far off on the other side, Kairos, too, had come to a stop, the cracks running along his body still racing to multiply and increase themselves. But much like Sylas, he wasn't paying attention to his own state in the slightest. Instead, he was looking ahead at the creature that stood before him as well.

"Monkey King." Kairos said slowly.

The Monkey King's head snapped up and it looked toward Kairos. There were still hints of confusion in the Monkey King's eyes as though it didn't understand what it was doing here or what it was seeing either.

But it could sense something on Kairos that shouldn't be there.

Its Pride Seed.

The chest of the Monkey King bloomed with light and all of a sudden, the region wasn't just filled with two Virtue of Pride Seeds… But three of them.

Kairos sneered and the Monkey King replied with a tilt of its head. It mimicked the sneer and seemed to like it despite how awkward it looked on its face for a small moment.

And then a beam of light descended from above once again.

Clarity appeared in the Monkey King's eyes as though it had awoken from a long slumber. His head snapped back to a normal position, and then he yawned, scratching his ass.

He looked away from Kairos and then at Sylas. Reaching up a pinky, he screwed it into his ears, picking at it for a moment before pulling it out and flicking the beads away.
