Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 223

223 Fusion

[What is a Fusion Crystal?]

[Comprehensions require the body to be shaped and warped, only this way can it provide amplifications to one's stats. As such, it is extremely difficult to Comprehend a second Comprehension after having already mastered one, because it will often require altering and changing the first.]

[In order to avoid this, one must use a Fusion Crystal, a magical item capable of allowing the fusion of a second Comprehension.]

[Feed a Fusion Crystal Genes and it will help you to complete the process and maybe even give you a pleasant surprise]

Sylas smiled a bit bitterly. It seemed that this wasn't much of a reward at all. It was just a ticket to get him to do more work. It seemed he would have to gather up the Genes he needed once again. Another hunt would begin.

'Let's see, then.'

He accepted the awards with his intention and soon a smooth crystal appeared in his hand. Instead of being a sphere like the other crystals he had seen, it was in the shape of an octahedron, reflecting all sorts of rainbow colors.

Before Sylas could even do anything, he felt a cool energy travel from the Fusion Crystal to his body.

[Comprehension Detected: Madness (FFF)]

[Dormant Comprehensions]

[>Boxing (F)]

[>Taekwondo (F-)]

[>Muay Thai (F-)]

[>…]

The list was so long that Sylas was taken aback. He thought that there was just one Comprehension, but it actually turned out that there were so many.

He immediately had several questions.

These names were all familiar to him and were reflective of Earth's martial arts. Did these really exist across the universe? Or was it the case that the system adapted these Comprehensions based on what he thought them to be?

Second, these rankings. It didn't seem like they were giving an objective measure of how good these martial arts were. Rather, if he was a better boxer, maybe the Boxing Comprehension would have been F+ instead of F. The others were only F- because his skill in them was even weaker. Of course, he was just guessing, but logically, there was no reason for Boxing to be superior to any of the others… other than the fact, of course, he used his fists the most frequently.

And the third question… which should he choose?

With how difficult it was to fuse just a second Comprehension, he couldn't possibly choose casually, right? And if he was right about his second speculation, then didn't that mean that if he continued to work at it, he could make these Comprehensions more powerful before fusing with them first?

Sylas focused on boxing and to his surprise there seemed to be more hidden menus.
