Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1214

Chapter 1214: Adaptation.

Sylas’ eyes flashed open. He hadn’t made the sort of progress he wanted to. Maybe it was because of his own Pride, but he didn’t think it would be that hard once he got the idea.

In practice, though? It was a complete nightmare.

The problem with autophagy was that it would only target what your body deemed useless or a waste. Logically, if that was going to happen naturally, it would already have done so.

Sylas was a D-Grade, so anything that was inferior should be something his body targeted to get rid of.

But if it was that easy, then everyone who elevated themselves to a new level would experience a true rebirth of sorts. While this did happen on a somewhat smaller scale, it wasn’t the complete overhaul that Sylas was looking for.

He was trying to use \[Madness Control] to force the issue a bit, but the level of understanding that would take was something he wasn’t prepped for at all.

It would definitely take the UniForge for him to have the mental capacity to keep such a focused \[Madness Control] active. After all, he would be controlling his body down to a cellular level.

But there was an obvious issue with that.

His Scorned Wraps would destroy Andromeda if he tried to use it like that. It would register like he was using a Treasure to boost his power, and that would be a big no-no.

There were some blurry lines around that. Like when he used time dilation to help him accelerate his pace to D-Grade, that hadn’t registered as a problem. It wasn’t the first time he had used a method like that either.

However, something so direct would never work.

That meant he had to force \[Madness Control] to a much higher level all on his own... at least in part.

If it was just \[Madness Control] alone he had, Sylas would have already accepted the fact it was impossible. But it was the combination of \[Madness Control] and Demon meat that would make all the difference.

There was something about ingesting Demon meat that forced the body into a hyper state of evolution. It rejected everything that was Demon, so it was doing its best to improve.

If one took a step back and thought about what would help one live the longest, there was one path that seemed more obvious than the others.

If you asked a layman how to get someone to live the longest, they might suggest placing them in a sterile, airtight room, that was also perfectly cushioned. Then they’d make sure the person never experienced any hardship in their life.

However, the biology of it was the exact opposite.

To live longer, one shouldn’t lock themselves up and avoid danger. In fact, pushing the body, forcing it to adapt, to fight, was a key part of living longer.

Sylas could recall reading an article that the body actually lived much longer when it was slightly uncomfortable. Being a little too cold, a little too hot, constantly pushing it to pull out more of its potential.

Of course, recovery and health were also important, proper nutrients and sustenance, but the body was an engine built on survival. Evolution itself was nothing more than a series of continuous adaptations, small or otherwise, taking place over millions upon millions of years.

If you adapted wrong, you would die. If you adapted correctly, you would live and pass on your adaptation to your offspring, allowing them to benefit from your success as well.

The vaccines Sylas had worked on in his professional career were much the same. Vaccines were nothing more than small doses or non-lethal doses of diseases—or in his case, venom—that allowed the body to form antibodies of its own.
