Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1460

It was just as Sylas expected. It seemed that the real reason the rules of the tower weren't applying to him was because of the map in his possession.

Usually, if he wanted to cross through this barrier into another territory, it would require him to first clear the event. Only then would it be possible to pass through one of the six paths out of this territory.

Then, through a series of trial and error, he would have to slowly make his way toward where he thought the path to the lower floors would be.

As far as he understood it, though this place was called a tower, it was more of an inverted tower where the goal was actually to make it to the lower floors rather than a higher floor.

The moment Sylas stepped into this new territory, he found himself standing on a calm lake that stretched as far as the eye could see. The sun in the distance was different as well, seemingly stuck in a perpetual dusk rather than the bright high noon the wheat field had been in.

However, once again, there was no Quicktime Event that triggered for Sylas.

“Are the other Spark Masters good enough to avoid triggering the Event instantly? It's possible that they are. A normal Spark Master wouldn't be able to, but there's no telling If there are other Perfect Spark Masters... my real advantage is being able to move through the territories without clearing the Event first. But...

There were many limitations to this, but the main one was that if Sylas accidentally ran into a territory of another team, he would be pulled into the Quicktime Event whether he wanted to or not. That was because the event that triggered when two teams were present was different from one triggered by the environment.

In that case, Sylas' enemies would be the opposing team, and they wouldn't be as foolish as monsters spawned by the system, unsure of whether to attack him or not.

In addition, Sylas certainly wouldn't be able to leave the territory until he won at that point.

That said...

Sylas pivoted in his thoughts, falling into silence for a moment.

“Are there clues? Or is it truly blind luck?"

Sylas wondered if the system would really be so cruel as to make the teams go through one territory after another blindly in hopes they would stumble onto a staircase down. “There's only one way to find out.’

Sylas turned around and returned to the wheat field. With a step, he rose high into the skies.

Behind him, his [Glassvolt Throne] thrummed to life. Then... he actually took a seat on it. Crossing his legs, he fell into deep meditation, his hair sparking with lightning as the skies above began to thrum.

Sylas knew the limitation of [Glassvolt Throne] all too well. It was a skill that was the most useful to him to control the world around him, but it was only an F-Grade Growth skill, while the worlds he was in usually had upper limits of at least the C-Grade, and sometimes the B-Grade.

What use was such a low-level Skill in controlling these worlds?
