Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1621

Chapter 1621 Amende and Robareda [Bonus]

[Bonus thanks to TheAuthor137. May your intestines prolapse from your asshole]

There was a deathly silence. How could there be much of anything else?

They weren't entirely sure what to expect if Sylas ever woke up. But weakness should have been the first thing. No one spent that amount of time asleep only to wake up as though nothing at all had happened.

But Sylas was no longer a normal individual anymore. He was the only-yes, only-member of an A-Grade Race participating in this gathering.

Leia would have counted as one as well, if not for the fact her body had been sealed away after her reversion. There was too much of her strength she wouldn't be able to see again unless she recovered more of her original power.

Sylas' stats were only lacking compared to everyone here because he had, one, not begun to build his Foundation yet, and two, because his original starting point was too low. His body was still adapting and changing to his new status, and things like this took time-years, even.

This was all to say that the Grimblade Lineage wasn't weak. The moment Sylas recovered enough consciousness to tell Nosphaleen to get Starell to him, it was as good as over. Even she-however mysterious her background might have been-couldn't have ever stopped him from taking large chunks of her Will away.

Weakness?

Why would he have to experience that at all when he woke up?

But even so, there had been many who believed that Nosphaleen was Sylas' greatest trump card, his strongest reliance. Summoners often tended to have powerful Will, but their personal strength was lacking. With Nosphaleen so heavily injured, unless he had another Summon of equivalent strength or more, Sylas was finished.

How could they know that Nosphaleen was already back to full health after a few seconds in the Hibernation Realm? How could they know that Sylas still had Gogo and the Hollow Wing? How could they know that Sylas could have used Semi-Fusion to mimic all of Nosphaleen's abilities even if she was in a heavily injured state?

From the start of the battle to the very end, Sylas didn't seem to have struggled in the slightest.

When Sylas spoke of questioning whether he could make it into the top ten in the F-tier, it wasn't because he thought there was someone who could defeat him. It was a matter of numbers, of stamina, and him questioning how much of his abilities he should display.

It wasn't as though the 073 Sanctum had any ability to protect him should things truly go south. Plus, he had already thought of things from angles Ekear didn't, which was why he didn't make any guarantees.

The trouble with guaranteeing victory was that he couldn't decide anything for certain about what might happen in the E-tier, let alone the D-tier or beyond.

If he enraged enough Sanctums with his feats in the lower tiers, what if they decided to personally target the 073 Sanctum in tiers Sylas couldn't participate in? What then?

Even if Sylas, by some miracle, got top one in both F-tier and E-tier, if the 073 Sanctum averaged 100th place in just the D- and C-tiers-let alone the fact there was a B-tier to consider as well-they would be ranked 50th just from those four.

With the B-tier ranking becoming the average of their first four spots of participation since they had no B-tiers, their average would fall even further from a potential top 40 spot.
