Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 427

Chapter 427: 999

Sylas stood with a stoic calmness as he sacrificed the Gene Crystal.

He had had fantasies of using the Gene Crystal twice with the number of Genes that he had accumulated. Thanks to his Dual Class Constitution, if the first Unique Gene succeeded, his one Silver Gene Limit would become two, and he would be able to absorb another Silver Gene. Although Rune Flow and Skill Flow weren't the right match for him, right now he had a ton of potential templates he could use. There was Winter's Edge, Rune Soul, he could even use his Slow or Freeze Ice-Poison Rune.

However, in the end, he felt that he had already taken too many risks. If he lost his Title without gaining it back, his Wisdom would plummet off a cliff. But even worse than that, losing Basic Aetherflow would halve his combat potential.

It was an unacceptable risk.

Although he had a 65% chance of succeeding, that was a 35% chance of failing. Odds larger than one-third weren't something he was willing to gamble on.

He would rather the sure-fire chance even if that meant he couldn't use Extricate on it.

Plus, there was a silver lining to all of this.

If he didn't use the remaining over 200 Bronze Genes...

He would be able to load up his Genes and his stats.

Sylas' body trembled and a familiar yet foreign feeling filled him as his Genes were rearranged. He observed the changes as the Silver Gene integrated with him, and for a moment, there was a flashbang that went off in his mind.

He realized that even if he didn't use Extricate directly, the sensory amplification of Rune Soul and this Legendary Path talent was such that it was effectively the same.

He felt every moment of his Stat Limit increasing to 500... of his Bronze Gene Limit increasing to 20... and then to 40 shortly afterwards...

And most clearly of all, he felt new tiers open up to him.

Silver Genes.

Now, he had space not for just one... but two.

Experiencing the first Silver Gene himself, Sylas realized just how far the gap was. It was a complete and qualitative change, one so large that even Extricate couldn't quite put a neat bow on it.

Sylas was a bit surprised.

His Title, Skill Savant, granted him +100% Intelligence. Because of that, the +80 Intelligence that Aetherflow gave him became 160, and that resulted in his Mental stat going over his new 500-point Stat Limit.

Usually when that happened he would feel a great deal of pain. But this time... he only felt the same comfort.

'It must be because of my Dual Class Constitution. I can break through Stat Limits more easily now and at the cost of less pain... It's even comfortable...'

The more he experienced from this new Constitution, the more he felt that he had made the right decision.

With that thought, he began to load up his Bronze Genes until they were filled to the brim with what he had on hand. At the same time, his body felt like it was rippling with vitality and strength.
