Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 2266

"Your… woman…?"

Cheri didn't know what to say. It felt like her mind had short circuited, nothing was working properly. This was already the second time that Sylas had done something like this to her despite the fact she was almost 100% sure that she had fully recovered the first time.

And yet, once again, here she was, so stunned and baffled her mind went blank.

Was she right? Could it be that Sylas really was an S-tier? In her mind, that was the only logical answer. Only a man of that caliber could possibly dare to say such a thing.

But if Sylas was so powerful, why was he hanging around here? Cheri wasn't actually 100% sure if their guilds had S-tiers or not, at least not what they presently showed or were willing to show to the world.

If an S-tier of the Grimblades really wanted someone back, then they could just swoop in with force and take them. Even if S-tiers of their guilds appeared, the mutual respect between some powerhouses would, in most cases, allow something like that to slide.

But, everything that Cheri had deduced told her that the Grimblades didn't have any S-tiers at all. That was why she was here in the first place.

So how could Sylas say something like that?

Well… she was actually quite wrong about the Grimblades not having any S-tiers. It was just that Sylas had no intention of using his pregnant concubine to do dirty work for him. He hadn't even considered asking the Duchess even once.

If anything, his mom might kill him for even suggesting it. At that point Sylas Grimblade would be no more.

Sylas didn't bother to dignify Cheri's confusion. He just sat there, waiting for an answer.

"That feather… is that not… the feather of a Goddess? I have felt its aura before. It is that of the Goddess that the Efivara worship... They are…"

Cheri's voice trailed off and she gulped. She had come here to see if there was something she could take advantage of, something that would work to her benefit.

But the questions that Sylas was asking… they were too taboo. If anyone ever found out she was answering such questions, it was over for her.

A pressure descended onto Cheri and it felt like she was being crushed. She, an absolute genius of the C-tier, couldn't even seem to meet Sylas' gaze at all.

Sylas arose, walking up to her and picking her up by the throat once again. Cheri subconsciously clawed at his hands, wanting to break free, but her pupils constricted when she couldn't even manage to break skin.

"If you do not answer, I will kill you, suck you dry of your Will, and extract the answers from it. Would you like to try that instead?"

Cheri's eyes widened. The only people who could do something like that were…

No, impossible. Even more impossible.

Sylas' Will would have to be strong enough to crush hers. The general rule of thumb was that Will within a body was far stronger than it was outside of it.

Taking Shaped, Forged, and Enlightened Will, for example. Those were three tiers of vastly different levels. Between them were will steps like "Shaping," "Forging," and "Enlightening."
