Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1542

His Primus Luminaria Contested Title settled down as his sister slowly regained her focus. She blinked for a moment, looking around, and then pouted.

“I still can't summon a cake. This sucks."

Sylas shook his head.

His sister clearly didn't care very much for Rune Mastery. Though, there was no denying that this path had quite some potential.

If Sylas backtracked and found a path similar to this one instead all those months ago, he had a feeling that he would have comprehended how to draw Legendary Genes long ago.

Sylas was more interested in the nitty-gritty of Runes, the very foundation of it all—what made the world tick. It wasn't about organic or inorganic to him; it was about casting the strongest Runes there were.

His sister didn't care to chase after something like that. She just liked her sweets. And even that couldn't be said to be something she cared a great deal about—it was just good enough for her.

Sylas just thought about teaching her his own path... but he knew enough about Rune Mastery now to know that following someone else's path would never allow you to reach the Perfect Spark Mastery.

While this wasn't ideal, it was at least good enough to make his Contested Title move, which meant that his sister's talent was good enough to take seriously.

“You're slacking," Sylas said.

Elara only pouted more. "I should be getting ready for my first homecoming, not whatever this is."

“Well, life isn't always fair."

Elara stuck her tongue out but didn't reply.

In the end, Sylas could only shake his head. His little sister really was too much like him. The difference was their outward personality, but their fundamental underlying lens through which they saw the world was one for one.

The only people the two of them didn't care to compete with were one another.

Sylas had said many times before that his sister was smarter than himself. But was that true? Or was that just because he couldn't be bothered to figure out who was superior between the two of them and just decided to hand the title of smartest to her?

By the same token, could Elara be bothered to try very hard if her brother was already handling everything? Who was she going to compete with? Him? Why? To prove what to who, exactly?

That was why she chose her Rune Mastery Path based on what would make her life most convenient. Maybe there was a smarter, more clever choice to make.

She just didn't care.

Sylas held up a palm. Aether swirled around it, and a Gene formed from thin air, resplendent and golden, blinding to the eyes of anything without Rune Mastery on a high enough level.

When you were at Sylas' level, though, you didn't just see gold. You saw what felt almost lie quantum unfolding—radiant, silky lines of silvery rainbow colors folding into and out of one another.

Elara blinked as she looked at it, not blinded at all.

“Is that a Legendary Gene?" she eventually asked.
