Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 179

Chapter 179 Immediate

[2500 PSs bonus]

Sylas had been very cautious with his Madness since returning from the Trial. Cassarae told him that she had never seen anyone else with a Comprehension, but the moment he returned he sensed one from Bloom. So, he had chosen the conservative approach and hadn't really been able to improve in these last several weeks. It could be said that his sudden breakthrough was more sheer dumb luck than anything else.

But now, it should help tremendously.

Sylas activated Madness, and his telekinesis began to move once again, encroaching onto the forcefield.

The feeling was slowly getting more and more peculiar. It was like his telekinesis was an extension of his mind, and as it dipped in further, it felt like his brain was being soaked in the same mysterious feeling. He could practically feel a cool wind enveloping the inside of his skull where his blood-brain barrier should have been.

'This is… interesting…' _{ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com}

When Sylas activated his Madness to improve his telekinesis, he always looked at it like just a boost in power. But this wasn't true.

Madness didn't improve his telekinesis directly; it improved the stats that telekinesis relied on. This was a different matter entirely.

This meant that it wasn't just some artificial boost. The very foundation of his telekinesis was improving. It wasn't just the strength increasing; it was an overall qualitative change.

The reason Sylas was thinking about this now was that what his telekinesis was doing didn't seem to have anything to do with Strength or any other Physical stat. The entire force field and disk were barely a couple of pounds.

Yet, he still needed Madness to make it this far.

Why was that?

He kept looking at telekinesis like it was just some external force he exerted, not much different from any Skill. But that wasn't true.

Telekinesis was what he conveniently called it, but it was actually the tangible representation of his Will. He was exerting force on the world with his thoughts, and that was very different from using a fist.

It was a subtle but meaningful difference, and it was that subtle change in his thoughts that gave Sylas an idea as to why the disk would have reacted like that to his telekinesis.

He hadn't just tried to pick up the disk; he had activated it by touching it with his Will.

But didn't that also mean that… if he formed his "telekinesis" into those runes again, he could elicit a similar response?

BANG!

As Sylas was lost in thought, the forcefield suddenly shattered.

He quickly crossed his arms in front of his body, but the force field didn't seem to touch him at all. Either that, or it had lost its potency.

The disk clattered to the ground. It flickered as though it was trying to power up again, but then failed to do so.

Sylas' gaze narrowed. What just happened?
