Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 2187

Sylas' claw squeezed down and the Monkey King's staff shattered to pieces. First they started as hairline fractures, ones that quickly spread until, as though a tough piece of glass suddenly cracking to the very edge, it infused itself into the body of the weapon instantaneously.

Then, with a twist of Sylas' wrist, it all crumbled to pieces.

He took a step forward, a screaming Monkey King in a ball of endless flames surging with an endless tide.

Sylas looked down with an indifferent expression on his face.

It was just as he speculated the day he realized his future self would stop the Monkey King for him. The only way to interfere in the past from the future was by forming a closed loop that existed outside the influence and laws of the universe.

He had known this was probably the easiest and most straightforward solution, but he didn't know how to do that. It was just that he believed in his ability to do so.

That day when he destroyed the Monkey King Mountain seemingly out of frustration, that was only a part of the reason. That day wasn't long after he had finally grasped Fathomless Rune Creation. The way he viewed the world was very different.

While it was true that he was frustrated at the time, he was looking countless steps ahead.

He knew that the Monkey King was guaranteed to be his enemy in the future. He realized that the Monkey King had already used the Monkey King Mountain to project himself in the future once before. He knew that the Monkey King Mountain was the root of his connection with the Monkey King.

As such, he knew that if there was ever going to be a way for him to close a loop between himself and the Monkey King, it would be related to that very Mountain.

So, he destroyed it.

The thing was that he didn't know exactly how he would use it to close a loop back then. That was why he didn't completely dismiss the idea of having just done it out of frustration.

He had had a lot on his plate back then. But it seemed that he was also right about one other thing…

A Sylas with information about the world was the most dangerous form of himself there was.

Many of his enemies only had a chance now because he knew too little. But as time passed, and he gained more of an understanding of the world, there were fewer and fewer chances to pull the wool over his eyes.

The Monkey King was clever, he was an expert of combat, a trickster that had fooled even many a god.

But measuring Sylas by how well you had performed against others…

Was the pinnacle of foolishness.
