Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 499

Chapter 499: Chaos

Sylas found himself subconsciously reaching out a hand. The Basilisk King looked at him in confusion, not understanding what was going on.

Honestly speaking, the Basilisk King's heart was practically doing cartwheels. Its blood pressure had risen to the point its large body was trembling like a small hill.

It had been ready to die just now, and it half expected a beam of light to calm out of Sylas' palm and crush him in an instant.

But that beam didn't come.

Sylas felt a bit awkward having his hand up like this. It was the first time he had acted without quite thinking things through, which was rare for him.

However, it wasn't long before the Basilisk King bumped its head against his palm, its gaze flickering with a hint of embarrassment as well. _{freewēbnoveℓ.com}

When it understood what Sylas was trying to do, it felt a bit awkward as well. It was a mighty Basilisk, a Serpentes of Legend... not a puppy.

But it felt worse leaving its master in an awkward situation. Although it feared Sylas, that fear was built on a foundation of respect.

Sylas almost found himself chuckling, something even rarer for him.

"Never again?" he asked.

The Basilisk King nodded repeatedly.

"Deal. Let's go."

The Basilisk King vanished into the Hibernation Realm, and Sylas stepped out to find the world in chaos.

When he learned of what happened, his gaze flickered. He didn't have the time to mind Morgan for now and left him in the City Lord mansion before bolting off.

...

Sylas crossed through the forest with a blazing pace, his skin already covered in black scales. Now that his Fusion lasted 128 minutes, and his stats were so far beyond the Basilisk King's, there was no need to be as conservative as he had been in the past.

He had also noticed that his Dual Class Constitution made withstanding Fusion with stronger Contracts easier as well. But this wasn't what was at the forefront of his mind for now.

He had been correct. But maybe a little bit too correct.

His deduction that the System Cities were like the nodes that triggered all the worst changes on Earth was true. What he had underestimated, though, was how much the loss of one could affect the overall situation.

After the System City collapsed, wild fluctuations had been triggered all across the Evergreen Territory. As for why that was, it was for no other reason than the Portals.

It had to be remembered that one of the targets of the Multi Quest was to help this portion of the Aether Plane align with the correct location on Earth.

Lucius' Portal went to Paradise, a small city by Lone Star.

Then there was Ragnar's Portal that went to the Africor Continent.
