Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1190

Chapter 1190: Grow [Bonus]

[Thanks chrono, rot--I mean love you, boo <3]

There was a flash in the Leava Patriarch’s eyes. He, of course, had thought of this. It was just that he didn’t want to say it. The fact that Furon stated it so bluntly went to show his potential, but also his boldness.

It was a good combination to have as a youth. Not so much as a Patriarch.

Even if the Leava Patriarch knew this, he still had to make a show of continuing to search within the Clan. If he went to look outside too soon, then it would reflect as though he didn’t even believe in his own people. At that point, some of his enemies might deem it necessary to try and hit him while he was down. And that was simply unacceptable.

"Yes? And what do you think we should do if that was the case?"

"If that was the case, then whoever it is has to obviously be a resident of our Sector, but they’re unlikely to be from one of the major powers or Clans."

"And that’s because?"

"It would have likely been announced already. It’s a way to snatch glory from us and elevate their own. You can almost certainly scratch the Venom Clan off the list—they wouldn’t hesitate to offend us. The Mancha Clan as well.

"The Beast Warlord Sanctum is practically scratching and clawing for any glory it can get these days, especially after Glarith’s most recent disciple showed such promise. They wouldn’t hesitate to make it known either.

"That leaves the medium-sized and small-sized powers that might be hesitant to reveal such a thing so easily.

"For the same reasons, you can probably dismiss any C-Grade hermits. C-Grades that have families to protect might be more hesitant, but there are other reasons to dismiss them as well.

"In order to claim that Title, you need to perform an enormous feat that’s recognized by the system. Often, that requires a masterful stroke in an event that localizes a great amount of karma in a single area. Or, you need to have made a breakthrough in an important path of some sort heavily reliant on the Mental Stats..."

The words of Furon fell like perfectly laid bricks.

"...If it was the latter, such a thing would have been sensed. Breakthroughs on that level would definitely shift something in the air and the Sector itself would react. Plus, there would almost certainly be a System-Wide Message to accompany it.

"That means the odds that it’s the latter are also far lesser. Which leaves an event that localizes a great amount of karma."

"Oh?" The Patriarch raised an eyebrow. "And what would that be? Wouldn’t we have heard about such a thing too?"

The Patriarch allowed his great-great-grandson to speak as though he didn’t have the intelligence to piece these things together himself. But when Furon got to this point, he too was intrigued... because he had likewise gotten to this point in his thoughts before he stalled out.

As Furon had said, if there was something that happened on such a large scale, it would already be known. So how was it that something so big could happen without them knowing?

It didn’t make any sense.

"Haven’t we already?" Furon asked with a smile.

With a wave of a hand, a marble table between the two gained a star map. Furon pinched his fingers together and then snapped them apart, causing the image to zoom fast and in a hurry until it locked onto a particular part of the star map.
