Chapter 381: Possible



[Arctic Emperor Bear]

[Genes Detected]

[Bronze Gene: (7) Constitution (F); (7) Intelligence (F)]

[Attempt Assimilation?]

[Yes][No]

'It should be possible. There's no reason for it not to, I've done it before.'

Sylas began to use Extricate on the Arctic Emperor Bear. His target, obviously, wasn't the Gene Talent, but rather the Genes themselves. Every time he extracted one, he poured it into the Gene Crystal.Th.ê most uptod/ate novels a/re published on n(0)velbj)n(.)c/o/m

In the past, Sylas had used Extricate on Gene Crystals to extend their life. It was a smoother process, so he could use the Gene Crystal more often before it shattered. That was why his 70 Capacity Gene Crystal was still alive and kicking.

So why couldn't he do a simpler thing? Instead of fusing the Genes together and then Extricating the completed Gene, why not use the Gene Crystal as a Gene storage device instead?

This would add some wear and tear to the Gene Crystal, certainly. So he couldn't do it with impunity. But that would only be a problem if he was constantly pulling Genes out and pushing them in.

'I guess we'll see how much durability this uses up for sure if this works...'

Once he had extracted all the Genes from the bear, he reached another threshold. Would the system still allow him to try an assimilation now that all the Genes were gone?

Sylas turned his focus inward. He was completely focused on trying to grasp the Gene Talent that may or may not be there.

With a breath, he moved his intention toward [Yes].

It was oddly vacant. The system moved, but there were no Genes to grasp onto.

He pulled out his Gene Crystal and began to Extricate the Genes one more time, pouring them back into the body of the polar bear Emperor.

CRACK.

Sylas couldn't help but cringe. His 200 Capacity Gene Crystal had actually shown signs of breaking down already. It seemed that this wasn't a viable long-term solution for storing Genes. If this Gene Crystal broke before he could upgrade Aetherflow, he wouldn't even be able to describe his regret.

Still, he pressed forward, Extricating the last Gene. Then, he poured his Aether into the Transmutation Beast Skin.

WHOOOSH!

A strong energy pulsed, and the bear's corpse was compressed and compressed until it formed a beautiful icy pill with blue runes etched across its surface.

'That took 7 Units of Aether although it didn't have a single Silver Gene... these half-Bronze beasts are no joke...'

Though he had these thoughts, it didn't slow his action. Sylas swallowed the pill in one go.

Since his body didn't have the support structure the Gene Talent needed to take root, then he would just have to supplement it in another way.

A body-wide massage thrummed through Sylas' limbs. A great amount of nutrients filled him

to the brim.

Sylas' gaze flashed. 'It's working.'

[Gene Talent Detected]

[Trade 5 Bronze Intelligence (F) and 5 Bronze Wisdom (F) to unlock: Winter's Edge?]

[Yes][No]

Sylas was speechless... all of that to still be one Gene short.
