Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 494

?Chapter 494 Get Out!

Sylas felt absolutely frozen in time. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move a single muscle. It was like control over his body had been ripped away from him, stripped down and placed under the control of another.

Staring into the depths of the eye made him feel like he was looking into the birth of the universe. But not in a spring of life, blooming potential sort of way... it felt like he was instead staring into the depths of cruelty the world was capable of, the kind of cruelty that made a mother bird abandon their chick, or a lion pack leader cat the cubs of another lion.

It was the gritty sort of hidden underbelly soaked with blood that was all around them in the world, and right now all of that hidden darkness, animosity, and rage was aimed right for Sylas.

At that moment, Sylas felt a sinking feeling in his chest. He had felt this emotion before; it was the kind of thing he had experienced when the Gluttony Seed was formed. However, back then, he didn't have nearly enough control or understanding of his body to know exactly what was happening. But now, he could feel the formation.

It was buried deep within the layers of his body, deeper than where his Gene Talents resided, deeper than even where his Rune Soul comprehension resided.

However, he also felt that there was something off about the formation of this new Seed.

It was sinister in a way the Gluttony Seed wasn't. Though the Gluttony Seed was hard to manage and often caused him problems, it was more like a problem child or a naughty puppy. But this new Seed was evil, truly evil, carrying an edge to it that made Sylas' eyes slowly turn red.

No one could see them with his eyelids forcefully closed, at least not until the crimson turned so bright that the beams began to emit from within them as well.

The discomfort in the depths of Sylas' body grew greater and greater as he was overwhelmed by the creation of this new Seed. In fact, it even looked as though it might try to swallow his Gluttony Seed whole.

Veins of black pulsed across his body, and they were especially dense out of the corner of his eyes. They bulged and grew, wiggling about like live snakes as his blood pressure shot through the roof. Sylas began to struggle, but no matter what he did, it felt like things were out of his hands.

Ie had known that this was a risk when he accepted it, but this was still spiraling much too far out of control. However, what he liked the least was the attack on his mind.

It was growing, and it almost felt as though the thoughts were forming worms in his brain that. forcefully entrenched themselves deeper and deeper.

There was an insatiable evil to it. But most prominently, there was a Hunger...

A Greed.

Sylas had never felt it so clearly before.

He had always wondered why the Madness Key used words like Hunger, and yet it formed a Gluttony Seed and not a Greed Seed.
