Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1449

"I don't know... the answer changes every time the tower opens. All I know is that the Tower of Champions is far more dangerous than even the competition to enter it.

"For the starting phase, there's at least some... seeding, of sorts. The Horizons we'll face can be much stronger than our own, but the difference won't be unfathomable. But in the Tower of Champions, all bets are off. I've heard... true horror stories. Stories of B+ Races are shockingly common. There are even some rare instances of S Class Races appearing..."

Sylas frowned. This wasn't about the strength he was hearing about, but the use of two terms he was unfamiliar with once again. B+ and S Class.

"B+? S Class?"

Sylas could ask the Madness Key, but he wouldn't waste the Genes if he didn't need to no matter how rich he was. Plus... anything regarding Races so powerful was sure to cost a pretty penny.

Neyara was still gasping for breath, hacking and wheezing from time to time. But whenever Sylas asked a question, she forced her nausea down to reply.

She didn't even question why it was Sylas didn't know about these things. The only thing that was important was how powerful he was, and no matter what, she wanted to avoid pissing someone like this off.

This was no longer a matter of just survival alone. Sylas' questions had made her recall just how important the team you entered with mattered.

Even if seven of the eleven of them couldn't make it through, the odds someone as powerful as Sylas would make it through the Champion round was at least 20%. Those were good odds as far as she was concerned.

A one in five chance to enter the Tower of Champions was something she would gladly kill for, let alone just suffering a few ailments like vomiting up her own blood.

"The plus is what we assign to Races within a Grade that sit at a superior level. They have many aspects of Grades a level beyond them, but are still firmly within the Grade in question. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"The S Class is practically a Domain of its own. Usually, they wouldn't even be interested in an Empyrean Dungeon. But from time to time, some are curious, or happen to be passing by when an opening is prepared.

"The rewards of the Empyrean Dungeon are usually stored within the Tower of Champions, and on some rare occasions, there are things that even S Class Races won't turn up.

"But the S Class... it's named as such because it's practically its own category of being. They call themselves Gods and it's said that each S Class Race is known for having crafted its own manifestation of the system, perfectly curating it to construct and raise their own people. They go from S, to SS, and finally SSS Races. Collectively, they're known as the S Class."

"And there aren't such divisions amongst lower class Races?"

"No. Even the plus markings are colloguial. Though, it could be said that S Class is also a colloquial term formed by us."

Sylas nodded once. "In that case, I only have to face a series of one-on-one battles to the end?"

"In changing landscapes.” Neyara was quick to add before the space rumbled and her face suddenly paled.

Sylas' own gaze flashed, but it had nothing to do with the shaking or Neyara's reaction. Instead, it was because of her words.

“Changing landscapes, huh? It seems that this will be easier than I thought it would be." Slowly, Sylas calmed, looking up into the endless darkness.

"Why are you reacting like this?" Sylas asked.

"We... our luck is a bit bad. We haven't had the chance to recover from the long- distance teleportation, but it seems like things are starting now."
