Genetic Ascension-Chapter 1089: St... Genes...

The moment the Lust Seed took shape, Sylas got confirmation that he was correct.

If his Gluttony Seed could amplify the strength of his Will… the Lust Seed could amplify the strength of his Charisma.

When the two came together, the result was exaggerated to a point that it felt like they had always meant to be together, feeding off of one another, benefitting from one another.

Sylas' telekinesis alone, without any help or benefit, could already exhibit the prowess of over 300,000 kilograms of force. That meant that when his telekinesis acted with the thousands in Physical stat points it had now, it was akin to a beast of over a quarter million kilograms taking action.

If his opponents weren't all of the E-Grade, he could practically crush one enemy after another with that force alone.

By comparison, though, his Will was only able to boost that by an additional few extra ten thousand kilograms. It was almost worthless in the grand scheme, and Sylas only used it when he really needed every inch of power that he could grasp.

However, with the Lust Seed activated as well, Sylas' telekinesis' strength approached half a million kilograms instantly. The synergy between the two was astounding.

What Sylas was neglecting, though… was the fact that these only mentioned the Gluttony Seed's restrictions when faced with the suppression of the Greed Seed. The reality was that Sylas' speculations were correct. His Gluttony Seed should have grown far beyond its current level long ago, but it had been unable to succeed.

Now, however, everything had changed.

With just a faint touch, Sylas felt his Gluttony Seed could increase his telekinesis' prowess by an entire 20%. But when the Lust Seed was added on top of that, it was more like a 200% increase, tripling his telekinesis' strength and almost putting him at nearly a million kilograms of force.

Honestly speaking, Sylas still wasn't sure just how much strength an E-Grade could produce. But… he had a feeling that his telekinesis alone wasn't far off already.

And when it came time for his Will to upgrade to E-Grade itself, just how much stronger would his telekinesis instantly become? Would it reach the tens of millions instantly?

And beyond that, did this factor into his Combat Matrix Index? Even if it didn't, did it even matter?

The thrumming sense of accomplishment fueled Sylas… for only a moment before he came crashing down.

First came the overwhelming Hunger in his gut and the fire in his loins. He felt like if he didn't eat an entire mountain or fuck a hundred women, he wouldn't even be able to take his next breath before dying.

Before he could even find it in himself to deal with that, a bolt of lightning fell from the skies above.

The All-Seeing Eye had had enough. Just when it finally destroyed the blaspheming energy before it, a newer, even stronger and purer form of it appeared. How could it not be infuriated?

Sylas didn't even get a chance to gather himself, and the bolt alone would have fried him to ash had it not been for the fact the Eye of the modern system finally broke through.

Clashing auras filled the skies and a protective barrier appeared around Sylas. Even so, a sliver of the lightning still made it through, slamming against him and sending him crashing to the ground—or rather the dilapidated dungeon below—in a charred mess.

He coughed up mouthfuls of black blood again, his body shivering. And yet, his stomach was still growling while saying he had a tent pitched in his pants would have been an understatement.

"Focus! Your Will is stronger than this!"

The voice finally made it through to Sylas, but it seemed to already be getting weaker as though it was losing steam.

Even so, the vague concepts were still relayed to Sylas. This was the true might of the Madness Seeds. Without the suppression of the Greed Seed active, he could feel them in earnest, and if he didn't learn to deal with them, they would consume him. freewebnσvel.cøm

He seemed to have been thrown from one problem to the next. However, as the systems clashed above, one trying to destroy him while the other went all out to protect him, he knew that he had run into something he was confident in doing.

"Silence."

The word came out in Ancient Ithkuil, his emerald eyes flashing with the deep depths of indifferent coldness.

At that moment, his Enlightened Will took shape and his rumbling stomach silenced itself, the bulging mass in his pants also slowly calming.

He took deep breaths, and there was still a twinge of Hunger and Lust still there, but it was manageable, no different from waiting until dinner to eat after having only had breakfast, or being a teenage boy. Sylas had already lived through both things.

"Hm?"

Sylas felt the Gluttony Seed move. It began greedily swallowing up the All-Seeing Eye's lightning, devouring it whole.

He found that his Hunger was beginning to increase again, and this time it was far more difficult to suppress.

I can use the Gluttony Seed to swallow energies too powerful for me to handle, and it strengthens it… I see…

After his experience with the Greed Seed, he knew that there was more to the Seeds. It seemed that he had stumbled into something for the Gluttony Seed.

If he used [Primal Gut] and the Gluttony Seed together, just how much nutrients would he be able to force into his body?

But that made him worry… what could the Lust Seed do?

"… It can… partners… st… Genes…"

The voice finally faded away entirely. The half-broken words didn't quite make it to Sylas, but as he siphoned through them, his eyes couldn't help but narrow.

If he was correct, what the voice was saying was that if he used the Lust Seed as it was meant to be used…

There would never be a Unique Gene lock he couldn't get past.
