121 Choices

[1600 PSs bonus]

His choice of One Kind For Me was even more straightforward. If he was going to go all in, then why not go all in. If he focused his Beast Taming on snakes and serpent creatures alone, he would gain an intimate understanding of them and even gain their Beast Totem. Maybe, that Beast Totem would synergize well with his Madness and even accelerate his Comprehension speed.

Finally, there was Taboo Bond. It was the one that filled him with the most trepidation, but it was also because of that he felt he had to choose it.

Setting aside how well it synergized with both other Paths, how it could allow him to both intimately understand the snake species and improve them… Sylas also had motives outside of this as well.

The power to manipulate and control Genes… it made him wonder. Wasn't this similar to what Gene Crystals could do? And if he could incorporate them into himself, would it be possible to skip over the necessity of a Gene Crystal and directly create his own unique Genes?

Every time he ran into a Stat Limit or a Gene Limit, it felt like was running headfirst into a steel wall. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that there would eventually come a day where he'd run into one he could just push past…

The Slithering Madness Dungeon was a glitch in this system's matrix, and yet it only provided him with one Common Gene Crystal. How difficult would they be to find?

Separately, these Paths were perfect for him… or rather, they were perfect for the Sylas that had already stepped onto the Path of Madness. There was simply no going back.

But together, they were even stronger.

Were-for-the-Invincible could allow him to bolster his stats by fusing with his beasts, One Kind For Me would allow him to intimately understand these beasts, likely to the point he wouldn't lack familiarity with their Gene Talents or Skills, and finally Taboo Bond would allow him to directly improve his beasts to further strengthen the stat boosts he would receive, while One Kind For Me would give him the perfect path to doing so.

Together, they stacked perfectly and Sylas felt that for his situation… there was simply no better combination.

So he chose them.

Sylas nodded to himself.

A "Kind" was broken up into several categories, but they were mostly divided into narrower versus broader categories. An extremely broad category might be "mammals" or "reptiles" or even "birds" would fall into that category as well. A middle ground would be something like "canines" or "large cats" or even "dinosaurs". The narrowest categories were mostly highly specific and included singular species with no variation between them.

Something like "serpent" or "arachnid" or even "beetle" would be considered a new middle ground between the original middle ground and the narrowest categories, and they were actually a sweet spot.

The more restrictive your Kind was, the stronger your Beast Totem and the clearer the information and links you would receive would be. But, obviously, if your chosen Kind was too restrictive, then having all the information in the world would be worthless.

This is why Sylas didn't hesitate to choose serpent. Or, rather, their official Genus.

Serpentes.

Sylas felt a ripple when his choice was made. Goosebumps rose all along his skin and for a moment he thought he had grown scales, only to look down and find that he had over thought it.
