Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 2257

[Bonus thanks to SongfulSalt. I will find you.]

Vaelith looked at her screen maybe a little bit too calmly. It was hard to tell what she was thinking, but one would have thought by her lack of a reaction that this was exactly what she had expected to happen.

That couldn't have been further from the truth.

If anything, this was the last thing she expected to happen. She had expected to win, to stand tall and defeat Sylas, even if that meant having to overcome herself and break through her own limits.

She could guess at why it was Sylas had been given this title, but even given what she knew about Creation of Keys, that alone shouldn't have been enough for this.

If Sylas had been crowned the Ancestor of Fathomless, she could accept it. But to be crowned the Ancestor of Creation was a different matter entirely.

And this…

Vaelith looked down at her feet as a crack that just so happened to run through the ground beneath her was silently sewn together.

'This will cause trouble.'

She didn't know where Sylas had come from, but she knew one truth about the world. Anyone who was powerful would always want what would make them more powerful.

Especially if that was something they couldn't get through normal means.

They would be coming.

It was hard to say how the Thryskai would react to this. The Vaelryn had suddenly been banished. So, their situation was a bit precarious.

It was risky to make an attempt to help other Heavens infiltrate their own. But would the Vaelryn have no choice but to go that far because of Sylas?

And even the other families that were already here. Would they be okay with this complete unknown suddenly taking over something they should have a monopoly over?

On the Mortal Plane, there was no doubt that the best Rune Masters in the universe came from the Skai Heaven. But as you moved up to the Demi-God Plane, things became more complicated.

Rune Mastery was simply too important to everyday life. Not having masters of the discipline was like moving through reality with your hands tied behind your back.

On the Mortal Plane, the existences were weak enough and lacking in understanding, so the gap could be bridged and suffocated by other means. This was why the Skai Heaven was still the weakest of the powers—atop the fact the impotent system didn't have a method of cultivating Will properly.

But on the Demi-God Plane, the Skai Heaven was still the weakest both because of these previously mentioned reasons, and because the other Heavens had surpassed them in Rune Mastery.
