Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1402

There were people that came to Sylas' mind immediately. One of whom he had met personally, and the other of whom he had only felt the Will of.

Both of these people could crush him with a single thought, but one had feared the retaliation of the system and, as such, didn't act, while the other had been too far away from him at the time.

This first person he thought of was the only Demi-God Thryskai he had ever met, a truly powerful man beyond reason. Even now, Sylas could recall how he stood in the skies above the Golden Grove as though he was some sort of angel descending from the clouds.

Back then, this Demi-God Thryskai had been trying to pressure the Golden Grove of all things, and it was because of this that Sylas was actually so interested in the secret realm of the Golden Grove to begin with.

Unfortunately, that realm—while it had helped him substantially increase his comprehension of space and time, and likewise resulted in laying the foundation that formed his current Archon Casting Path—had left him with more questions than answers.

However… Sylas didn't believe it was this man.

Whoever this individual was, they were very covert and scheming. They had a delicate touch and intelligence enough to evade even Sylas' perception.

Maybe Sylas had too high of an opinion of himself, and there was no doubt that many would agree. But the one thing Sylas was certain about was the fact that this Demi-God Thryskai had used methods far too crude to possibly be the person he was looking for.

Sylas was just the disciple of Gralith, an in-name disciple at that at the time, and he had been able to bend the Golden Grove to his Will.

Of course, that was also because of a unique combination of factors. But Sylas simply didn't believe that anyone with that sort of intelligence would be unable to get what they wanted out of the Golden Grove… especially while having such great personal power.

The only explanation outside of just not being all that intelligent was that their schemes were deeper than Sylas knew once again. But as of now, Sylas didn't have any evidence of that.

Then there was the second person…

The Rat.

Sylas had learned of this person in several ways. First, it was through Grin, a government weapon that Sylas killed and a person who had happened to gain the Greed Legacy.

What was interesting about that was that months later, Sylas learned through the little girl that the Greed Legacy was actually already officially taken.

That left a ton of questions, many of which Sylas didn't even bother asking because he had too little information.

But this Rat… he fit the description perfectly, it seemed. He had all the scheming nature, he was secretive, and he had somehow managed to find and put his imprint on a world that should have been well protected by the system.

On top of that, despite being exposed by Sylas, he had also managed to survive the ire of the system as well. Otherwise, the little girl wouldn't have said Greed already had an Official Disciple in the first place.

All signs seemed to point toward The Rat.

There was just one problem with that…

The Rat wasn't a Thryskai.

Sylas had felt The Rat's Will. He didn't know enough to know exactly what Race he was, but he knew enough to know he wasn't a Thryskai.
