Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1465

Sylas took a breath and exhaled.

“Almost there."

Standing in the air and stepping off of his throne, Sylas didn't look back as the throne faded from sight. His focus was on something else entirely.

Until now, he hadn't been able to find if there was a pattern he needed to follow or if there was a way of deciphering where the stairwell to the next floor was baked into the tower itself.

That said... Sylas had another method.

Sylas had a stack of abilities that was nearly godiike. It could be said that he had some measure of ability to see and feel out the future because of them. In fact, it could be said that ever since Vipermancy reached the E-Grade—an event that had happened more than half a year ago now—he had been ignoring a lot of the pinging and warnings he received.

He had too many things on his hands and it practically felt as though there was a new method of improving his Contracts around every corner.

Despite knowing this, Sylas had good reason for ignoring these feelings.

If you had so many methods of accomplishing the same thing, was such a path even worth it?

Sure, he had sensed a million different ways to improve his Contracts, but it wasn't until he got his hands on the Sanctum's Lineages that he felt it was worth his while to take such steps.

What he was looking for wasn't just any old method of improvement. He wanted his Contracts to be at his level. Even if they couldn't be Primus Imperium, he wanted them to be close—or else what would be the point?

Back in their starship, Sylas had sensed a path for Gogo. But he had foregone going through with it, saying "not yet," because he felt that there was a way to make it even more perfect inside this dungeon.

And now, he was using that feeling as a compass.

What was interesting about following this feeling was that the actual compass in Sylas’ map was also reacting in kind.

The compass pointing Sylas toward the obelisk flew straight and true, while the “compass” pointing him toward Gogo's path of evolution was like a refinement. Sometimes the former would be a bit vague, making it hard to tell if Sylas should be progressing through one territory or another. But because of the refinement of the latter, he was far more confident.

Part of Sylas wanted to simply speed through. Because he had the map on him, he didn't need to clear the Events. But the problem was that the rewards given for the Events were too great.

He glanced at the compass map and it was pointed straight ahead, making it impossible to tell which way to go. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
