Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 2250

Sylas had always had this one problem at the back of his mind. The issue was that it didn't really matter until he figured out Spacetime first. He had a feeling that he would eventually, but brewing in the background all this time was this much larger, looming issue.

What was funny is that as opposite as Spacetime and the Void were to one another, their problems were also just as opposing.

Spacetime was far too complex and it was hard to find a starting point of simplicity for it. Because of that, it was hard to build toward anything without first chopping it at the legs and ruining what it fundamentally was.

At least, that was what people who chose just one path or the other to follow ended up doing. This was how they ended up with bastardized versions of space and time, not to mention a fundamentally poor understanding of what they were.

The problem with the void was that… it was too simple.

How do you even begin to build toward complexity with nothing? There was no step forward to take. How much more simple could you get than nothing at all?

As rare and uncommon as Runic Paths of Space and Time were, they at least still came up from time to time. In fact, basically all of the Thryskai Demi-God Clans had some strong aspect of time to them in some sense, and because of that, many of them likewise chose similar paths for themselves.

Whether the true geniuses amongst them chose this path was another matter. It didn't seem like Vaelith, for example, was building out a path all that related to Time at all. Though, that was also hard to say.

She may have only been trying to learn from the Illuminist so that she could build out her own path as well.

However, when it came to the Void…

None.

There were no examples of such a thing.

There was a reason why this aspect of Sylas' Rune Path Mastery was so often forgotten, too. Even he didn't really know how to cast Void Runes.

As much effort as he made in learning Space and Time Runes, when had he ever learned any Void Runes?

How could he learn any Void Runes in the first place when the Void was, quite literally, the absence of Runes?

What Sylas had done, though, was learn how to creep aspects of the Void into his methods. This became quite useful when he needed to navigate the void, for example. Like the very day he learned of this path, the day he was almost trapped in the teleportation world of the Weaver Guild.

As useful as navigating the void was, though. How often was he going to need to do that?

No matter how you looked at it, it was a complete dead end. And yet, Sylas had already built up to the D-tier of Rune Creation with it present.

It demanded the least of him. As such, he could do this, diming and nickeling his comprehension as he slowly moved forward.

But Sylas was quickly realizing that this situation was untenable. It only became more obvious after he mimicked the C-tier of Rune Creation.

It just wasn't… nearly as powerful as it should have been.

Sylas should have been unstoppable. Yet while he felt strong, it almost felt…

Empty.
