Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1698

Chapter 1698 Fanelei (1) [Bonus]

[Bonus chapter thanks to Ricky_D_Reader :)]

One of the very first things Sylas heard about Fanelei when he arrived in this place was the disaster it was every time she woke up. Something about chefs from across the galaxy losing their minds due to her appetite.

It was an odd detail, but nothing Sylas thought too much about. His own appetite was enormous, and that was without having much of a fondness for food-especially not compared to his sister. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Sylas had always been disciplined. He at no time overate, and never ate anything he deemed to be unhealthy, often giving his little sister his dessert over the years.

However, after he started growing much stronger, his body needed more sustenance or fuel, so he began to eat more. In fact, he even had a Gene Skill related to eating as well. If one didn't eat a lot with this level of strength, they would actually regress.

If someone like Fanelei spent a great amount of time in seclusion, maybe she went long periods of time without food, or maybe without food of a high quality. So when she finally did come out, she would make a huge deal of returning to her baseline.

Of course, it was also possible that she was simply a foodie. Sylas didn't need to be on Earth to know that his little sister was probably giving their own chefs fits too, and she wasn't a Gluttony Disciple. Trying to make a conclusion based on such a thing didn't make any sense.

It certainly wasn't enough to take a risk on this level. But it was enough for Sylas to raise an eyebrow.

But then Sylas remembered something else. He had found it odd that Fanelei had Will to sense him on Earth back then. Originally, he had dismissed it because he mused that she was probably just looking after her granddaughter. However... the 002 Sanctum was extremely far from the Milky Way Sector.

Sylas had explained this by raising Fanelei's abilities up on a pedestal, believing that her senses were simply that powerful. However, even back then he knew that there were problems with that conclusion, namely the fact that as a Summoned World, Earth was very much protected from exactly this sort of detection.

The reason Sylas hadn't dismissed this conclusion back then, though, was because Earth was targeted by so many parties, and his belief in the impotent system couldn't be said to be the best in the first place. The number of mistakes it had made that directly affected him were too numerous to count at this point.

The idea that Fanelei might have had an opportunity to circumvent this wasn't impossible.

That said... usually, if one wanted to circumvent the system, regardless of how impotent it was, it should take forethought and planning at the very least.

How could Fanelei have found him by coincidence? She should have been looking for him specifically, for whatever reason that might have been.

Individually, Sylas could wave away these two matters and leave it be. But together, his skepticism went from an eyebrow raise to a sharpening of his gaze.
