Sylas’ body shook, veins writhing beneath his skin. It felt like he was standing on the precipice of an evolution, but he couldn’t even enjoy it as the pain in his eyes was so great.

Even now, he didn’t know what a Raw Template truly was. When he had first gotten them, he made some assumptions, but he couldn’t learn about them in detail because the little girl said that it would cost 10 Legendary Genes.

Sylas was far more intelligent than most, so even after losing his Legendary Gene to those of the higher Sanctum, he still thought about how this might benefit him. He had considered a possibility where he learned as many of the Emperor Armors as he could just for the sake of exchanging for information.

Just how valuable would it be to learn about so many things he just couldn’t afford to know of now?

If his time with Andromeda had taught him anything, the value of information was too great. In Sylas’ opinion, if not for how little information he had entered this world with, he would have earned the Dominus Paragon Contested Title ages ago. The only reason he hadn’t was because his deductive reasoning skills were too limited.

There was a reason why IQ tests were flawed. It was impossible to create an intelligence test that didn’t rely on any crystallized memory. In fact, many versions of the IQ test actually measured how much knowledge one actually had. This was why those from certain backgrounds would always fare better than others.

In this case, it seemed that the Dominus Paragon Title was little to no different.

Someone else might not want to waste Legendary Genes on just a handful of questions. But for Sylas... it might be the difference between him ending up just the same as the middle-aged man assumed he would, or being able to hold that man’s skull in his palm one day.

However, even for Sylas, a price of 10 Legendary Genes was just too steep. Ultimately, he was stuck in a situation where his body was metamorphosing in ways he couldn’t explain, but could feel.

And vaguely, he could feel that these changes would probably be quite great if not for the fact his eyes were trying to eat him alive from the inside out.

In retrospect, all of this was ridiculous. He had evolved his Eyes to Tier 2. Meaning, they were the equivalent of the E-Grade right now. He should be well ahead of schedule and not have anything to worry about.

So why was he in so much pain?

"Can you hear me?"

Sylas didn’t even bother to talk, just sending a pulse of his Will to affirm instead.

"Hurry up and send me one of the Gold Genes you don’t want."

Sylas’ gaze flickered for a moment. After some thought, he didn’t send either one of the Ape Warlord or Scorpion Warlord Genes. Instead, he quickly formed the Serpent Warlord Armor instead.

Compared to those two, he didn’t even need a second attempt at all. He completed it so fast one would have thought he had become used to casting it again and again all his life.
