Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1559

Chapter 1559 Unfathomable Limits [500 GT Bonus]

The moment Sylas sat, he felt a chill creep into his bones, a sharp pain that wanted him to yield.

He shattered it with a thought.

Ironically enough, to him, this was far easier than the Trial had been.

The more familiar Sylas became with the world, the deeper his understanding of the system's inner workings became.

When he thought about it... why was it that a city would need its City Lord to be tied to it? At the core of it, Sylas believed that it wasn't so different from the existence of a Mount.

A Mount was a beast that didn't have strength unless it was being ridden. Even the Hollow Wing was little more than a prop waiting to be killed unless someone was on its back.

In the Golden Grove's Secret Realm, Sylas had to hand the Hollow Wing over to Alex and Jala just to make it work. It couldn't function independently as a beast and have the natural advantages that Mounts usually did at the same time.

Cities were much the same.

If Sylas was correct, City Steles were the simplification of a concept from ancient times.

He had heard of things like Karma already, an ethereal concept that tied him to those that had helped him a great deal, like Nyssa had. Because of its existence, he was limited in what he could do to her until he substantially separated himself from the chain of Karma that started with her.

Unfortunately, such a thing was easier said than done. Ironically enough, giving Nyssa something as valuable was easier than finding a method to separate himself.

But the more powerful Sylas became, the more difficult it likewise became to repay Nyssa and sever this relationship. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Sylas believed that cities likewise worked on such an ancient concept. It wasn't exactly Karma, but it was something more complex, something that tied nations together and gave their people strength under a single barrier.

When one traveled through the universe, when you entered the territories of others, you would often find yourself suppressed. This was an action of the system. But, if you entered the range of someone's city, wasn't that much the same? Was the system just, once again, trying to replicate something from the past that had long existed?

In that case, if Sylas wanted to break free from the limitations of a City Lord and benefit from having a City anyway, he needed to find another way to anchor himself to this City Stele.

And lucky enough for him, he was maybe the one person who understood this Glass Throne to the truest depths of its core.

"Yield."

Sylas' voice was soft, but it trembled the very foundations of the city itself. It bent, broke, and then shattered completely beneath his Will.

And then the city came to rest.

Moments of silence hung in the air until it was as though a heart had restarted. The City sprung to life. Aether Pathways beneath the foundations roared, Steles across the city-from the Professions to the Classes-awakened, and in that moment, Sylas felt every corner of the city itself reflect in his mind.
