Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 313

Chapter 313: Machinations in the Dark [Bonus]

Licirius frowned, but in the end, he felt that the odds his cousin was correct were high. Still, he felt that there was something wrong.

Sure, there were plenty of ways to hide one's true Level. Sylas himself had experienced such a thing due to Lauren and Alex. But, usually, such methods would pick something that made sense. Both Lauren and Alex had picked Levels that matched the situation, but picking Level o just seemed foolish. It wouldn't fool anyone. _{free𝑤ebnovel.com}

There seemed to only be two explanations.

Either Sylas was truly Level o, or...

He was just fond of snubbing his nose at other people.

Licirius could easily imagine a world where a lone warrior like Sylas wanted to go around with Level o hanging above his head just to show off.

If it really was the latter case... Licirius couldn't help but grit his teeth.

Plinli let out a laugh. He laughed so hard that he grabbed his stomach.

"I see. You probably thought of running, but didn't because you thought he was a real Level o. What a saint."

"Fuck you."

Hearing this, Plinli only laughed harder.

Indeed, Licirius only fought after noticing Sylas' Level. That was because if Sylas was truly a Level O... he was a top priority target to be killed.

Having such strength at Level o was not normal. It demarcated an individual who was trying to excavate all of his potential before accepting the baptism of the system.

If this was a Summoned World, it would only be natural. Children all did this, only continuing on to Level 1 when they had unearthed the best foundation they could.

However, in a world in the middle of its Summoning, this was several times scarier.

Summoned Worlds had a set number of resources that were already mostly divided between various factions, and often those resources had to be used as tributes and taxes to even larger overlords. Even if you had more potential to be excavated, such a thing would, in all likelihood, be wasted.

In a world in the process of being Summoned, even though there was technically a potential cap as well, it was flexible depending on the situation.

Earth was a decent world. It was capped at Bronze potential and could likely bloom a few Silver experts at best. This already put it slightly above average and that was why so many wanted a piece of it.

However, if the system found something or someone that it was interested in, it might be willing to invest more. That was an unacceptable outcome.

That was because if certain powers of Earth gained enough favor, and they succeeded in completing their Summoning, it might even be possible for them to qualify for an Ascension.
