Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1400

Sylas didn't squirm beneath the scrutiny and silence.

Honestly, there was only so far he could go by observing weak Rune Masters draw their Armors on their own.

Of course, he could do it, especially now. He was a far stronger Rune Master even now than he was back then, so it would be even easier.

But it was a waste of time. An annoying waste of time.

And it was still not necessarily 100% accurate either. The Ape Armor he had drawn, for example, was perfect, but it was also modified to his own standards.

There was still some merit in learning from the direct source not only because it would be severalfold faster, but because it would make extrapolating to the Emperor Armor far easier.

Sylas didn't plan on trying to integrate an Emperor Armor's Genes. Like he said, if one of those bastards had come down, there was no telling if another might as well. And this one might not be "kind," or stupid, enough to leave him alive.

Still, studying the Emperor Armor would help find ways to improve his Warlord Armors onto his own paths.

Erethea's eyes finally narrowed. "Why do you want to do such a thing? Do you want to leave the Scorpion Lineage? You have already integrated the Scorpion Warlord Gene, this isn't—"

"There are many reasons. For one, the more I know about the Armors of others, the easier it is for me to counter and understand them. Not all Sanctums have the same Lineages, but there is certainly some overlap to take advantage of.

"Second, I have already begun modifying my Scorpion Warlord Armor. I'm sure that many of you sensed the phenomenon I triggered. While it is usually inadvisable to try and mix Wills, I have no intention of doing this. I only want to understand aspects of other Armors to see if there is anything that I can make my own."

What Sylas was asking for was reasonable. And he was probably the only one who could ask for such a thing and have it not sound absolutely ridiculous.

Who were they to tell a Spark Master what was and wasn't possible?

It was one thing for Prione to try and use the stupidity of the public against Sylas, but that didn't warp his own personal understanding. He didn't care even if Sylas had been left with just one cell after crossing the Spark Mastery Secret Realm.

A Spark Master was a Spark Master, and the weight of such a Title was impossible to measure.

"This matter… will have to be discussed with the Core Sanctum," Erethea finally said slowly.

It wasn't an outright rejection, and as far as those present were concerned, this was shocking enough.

It made one thing very obvious.

They had begun placing heavy value on Sylas. And it seemed to have only become more obvious after his defeat of Zolte.

When Sylas heard Erethea's words, he knew that his wishes would be as good as fulfilled.

Because Sylas was too low in tier, his presence alone wouldn't be likely to flip everything on their heads. But… the chances that they could make it to the top 50 because of him alone weren't zero.

It was just a difference of 20 or so rankings, but the gap in resources would be absolutely massive.

Sylas returned to the Scorpion Sanctum's moon with Gralith and the others not long after the meeting concluded. Many other things and opportunities were spoken about, but his mind was still stuck on when his request would be granted.

The sooner he knew he could, the sooner he would begin gathering War Points for the sake of trading.

There was another reason he really needed this too. Observing the F-Grade Armors and deducing them was easy enough. But the E-Grade ones?
