Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 2190

Sylas felt that something was off. Legacy was an organization, but this key, or whatever it was, was clearly referring to an overarching concept.

This didn't sound like it was that big of a deal. So what? Maybe Legacy just named themselves after the concept.

But this was the wrong way of viewing things.

Will was a complex thing, and by the time you started dealing with the building of bloodlines, and Sects, and Guilds, and Clans, you weren't just building what Will you projected to the world on your own anymore.

At some point, it was just as critical how the world viewed you as you viewed yourself.

Sylas never cared about these things, believing he could shrug off these matters as he pleased, but that didn't change how the world itself worked.

That was to say that even if Legacy originally named themselves after this unique concept, it was only a matter of time before the Will they built themselves on commenced to morph and change.

Yet, as far as Sylas could tell, the Legacy he knew of shared this same exact name nonetheless. That was to say… The organization somehow embodied Legacy itself, not the organization, but the concept. And that realization made Sylas' heart skip a beat.

It recontextualized everything for him.

It was easy for Sylas to overlook Legacy. It had been a constant shadow in the background of his life over the last two to three years. No, it had been far longer than that considering they had even tried to recruit him when he was a child, using him to solve the puzzle of the Mountains of Giza for them.

But he had dismissed, defeated, or circumvented their efforts countless times already.

By the time Sylas realized it wasn't actually Legacy that was targeting Earth, and they were just trying to take advantage of a situation, he had already defeated them several times.

Whether it was Alex, the number one they picked instead of him, their whole scheme with the Demon Gates, the appearance of the Professors… He had defeated them so many times it was hard to take them seriously.

However, staring at this name now, Sylas realized something…

He had never actually faced the full brunt of Legacy's efforts, not a single time before. The scope of this organization, what they were chasing after, lusting after… Was a concept that seemed to exist as an umbrella even above Will itself.

'Legacy…'

Sylas' gaze flickered, a radiant cold erupting from them for a small moment before they slowly calmed.

'Okay.'

The badge flickered between Sylas' fingers.

This treasure was definitely not normal. If he was correct, it might essentially allow him to create mini-Split Realms on a whim and clear them to gain whatever secrets were left behind by Clans, Sects, or organizations that had long since fallen.

It wouldn't be as involved as entering a whole Split Realm either. It would be more focused and targeted, meaning it would be easier for him to clear them with speed.

This was essentially a cheat for Sylas who needed Evolutionary Energy to progress. At the same time, it would add a great deal to his Royal Hero Line as well, strengthening his bloodline at the same time.

There was definitely a catch, though…
