Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 2291

Sylas already knew that what happened to the Duchess was a plot of Thessa, a woman he thought he had killed long ago. It was hard for Thessa to stoke Nosphaleen's Envy any more than she already had, but this was certainly a method.

It didn't take a genius to realize how Nosphaleen would react to finding out that not only had Sylas taken another woman, but said woman was also pregnant with his child. After everything she had gone through with Cassarae, it was only natural.

Listening to the Duchess' story, Sylas didn't learn anything he didn't already know. Although the Duchess didn't seem to have any idea who Thessa was, Sylas could just tell by the undercurrents of the story alone that someone was stirring things in the background.

They had been planning out all of this for a very long while, and Sylas couldn't help but wonder if he was responsible for the start of Legacy as it existed today…

He wasn't 100% sure. But what he did know was that it couldn't have been a coincidence that he received the Legacy of Key from the Split Realm like he had.

He recalled how he noticed about Legacy of Key's name and felt that there was something he was still missing here. It was almost like Legacy of Key and Legacy itself were one and the same…

A Split Realm could be cleared more than once. There was a reason why they had ranking systems. In fact, this was what Sylas had relied on to make sure that the Duchess and her brother survived—something he would have succeeded in if not for the interference. So… who was to say whether or not more than one Legacy of Key had been handed out…?

Still…

The Duchess' life was filled with hardship. She suffered through a great deal after she awoke in the Split Realm. Because of the outside interferences, the difficulty of the Split Realm increased by an unexpected margin.

"… I barely survived the Split Realm. I have to thank you for your training, otherwise I wouldn't have been good enough. But when I exited, my brother's name was not on the list. I waited, and waited, but he did not appear even after a new batch.

"There was only so long I could spend in the reward screen. I was forcefully expelled after the Split Realm shut down, but I had waited so long that the war was already over and I could not find my Clan any longer.

"The path to the Demon World had been sealed and closed. I couldn't find an easy way back, and the world around me rejected my existence, so I had no choice but to hide and bide my time.

"Luckily for me, I managed to accidentally stumble onto a world before its Summoning. I waited patiently, and when its Summoning began, but when I thought I could find a gate to the Demon World to take advantage of, the system triggered a rare event for them.

"I became tied down and was forced to become their final boss like some sort of odd game.
