He felt a vague sense of where the tug was coming from. Rojan, or rather his corpse, seemed to be fighting back against him.
Sylas felt that he could overwhelm this force easily, but the problem was that he was only pulling on a single Gene right now. Would he be able to pull on another afterward?
'It doesn't matter,' he thought to himself. 'My current Gene Stat is Rigid, so I can't absorb any Genes. Even if I could, I've hit all my Stat Limits already.'
He was being too cautious; he instead chose to approach it like an experiment and pulled enough to overwhelm the force fighting back against him.
Something miraculous appeared.
A bundle of energy floated out of Rojan's corpse. It looked like a series of catalyzed fusions and expulsions were occurring within it. It reminded Sylas of what he had learned about the atom in high school, and yet from time to time, it would solidify and become a double helix, though incomplete.
