Genetic Ascension

Chapter 1377: Primus Imperium

[System-Wide Message]

[The Primus Luminaria has been born. As the first wielder of this Contested Title, Sylas Grimblade will be awarded an added effect: Kingly Suppression.] —

[Kingly Suppression Effects: All Rune Masters of the Sector will be suppressed in the presence of Sylas Grimblade.] —

Sylas hardly paid attention to the announcement, his gaze calm as he looked toward the Title he had really been waiting for all this time. He had sensed it before, but it had somehow felt so very faint that he wasnʼt exactly sure what he was sensing at all. It almost felt… unreal, in a way, as though it might exist, but it was well and truly impossible to get.

But now… it was here.

And it only took raising an E-Grade Profession like Runeweaver to Level 100 in a single instant. It was almost ridiculous what it took.

However, this wasnʼt what Sylas was paying great attention to, not even remotely.

—

[Primus Imperium (Conquest Title)]

Undefeated now and into forever. Untouchable, unmarred, unblemished. A Will to stand the test of erosion and a power to crush the Heavens and sunder the Earth. A name that echoes through history and stains time.

However, be wary, Imperium. Undefeated as you are, a single failure can lead to your ruin. You have proven yourself untouchable in the , no single warrior has ever reached your realms of power in your Sector. But you have also become the target of others who claim this Title, those that seek to not just crush the Heavens and sunder the Earth, but to wield both in each palm.

Good luck, young Imperium.

Sylasʼ eyes shone with a sudden and bright light when he saw this.

He still didnʼt even know what his Bloodline Title was or what it meant. He assumed that he would learn more about his Royal Hero Line as he built his F-Grade Foundation, but whatever it was, it had yet to help or harm him.

But he didnʼt even get a chance to truly think about it before… —

[Legendary Royal Hero Line Established]

Welcome, Grimblade Lineage, to the Annals of History —

[System-Wide Message]

[The Conquest Title System has been Unlocked. As the first Conquest Title holder of the Sector, has been granted a System Reward.] [The Milky Way Sector will now be undergoing a change and upgrade.] [Time: 2 years, 11 months, 29 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds] —

[System-Wide Message]

[ has been Titled Primus Imperium of the Milky Way Sector. Undefeatable and untouchable, he stands unmatched within the . Such is the prestige of the Imperium. Doubt these words at your own peril.] —

Sylas gazed at this for a moment, his eyes seemingly not registering or caring about the words he was seeing right now.

But that didnʼt mean that everyone else was the same.

Regardless of what this all really meant, one thing was very much clear… Sylas was still in the F-tier.

An F-tier capable of seeing, manipulating, and drawing E-Grade Runes.

This truth settled into the whole Sector and it felt like they werenʼt really watching Sylas step forward toward the Essence Secret Realm at all. It was more like they were still locked away in a dream, unable to comprehend or understand just what it was they were seeing at all.

Nothing made sense. How could it?

This couldnʼt be truth and reality.

Even when Sylas finished, another record crushed, another undetectable result, they didnʼt know how to process just what they were seeing.

”What level of Mastery are you at?” Sylas asked, looking at Gwenu.

”Huh… what?” Gwenu blinked absentmindedly, not knowing what Sylas had just said until several seconds later. ”Um… Essence Mastery…”

”Is this the limit?”

”Um… yes…”

Sylas watched indifferently as the others struggled. Even Vaernon wasnʼt breaking any records anymore.

It seemed that the drop-off in Rune Mastery happened quite quickly for these people. They had reached Vitality Mastery in the F-tier, but now they were barely at Essence Mastery in the E-tier—an entire level below.

No, it was worse than that. That was because they were at least in the middle ranges of Vitality Mastery before. But right now it looked like they barely got over the hump of Soul Mastery to make it to Essence Mastery in the first place.

It was quite…

Pathetic.

He was going to have to try and help Gwenu improve that. But for now, he was done with this place.

”Iʼm leaving,” Sylas said indifferently.

Gwenu blinked and then blankly nodded.

…

Sylas stepped out of his pod and followed the long railing out to the glass doors leading to the hallway.

One gaze after another fell on him, but he didnʼt seem to notice them at all.

”Good enough?” he asked Cassarae.

She rolled her eyes. This bastardʼs ego really did get bigger. At this point, someone was going to have to teach him a lesson, otherwise his head would outgrow the pace of the universeʼs expansion.

As far as Sylas was concerned, though… a gamble on him was always the safe gamble.

He turned his gaze over toward the D-tier Thryskai, their gazes meeting and practically causing sparks to fly through the air.

This matter was already over. The Thryskai probably thought they still had a chance, but Sylas knew better.

That wasnʼt because Sylas could help in the D-tier—that was beyond even him. He couldnʼt help guide Khan either.

But Gralith… that was a different matter entirely.

Somehow, both master and disciple seemed aware that something had fundamentally changed and mutated about Gralithʼs path long ago.

This battle would be the Bat Lineageʼs second loss.

A worthy introduction of the Primus Imperium to the world.
