Sylas' Gene State was Quasi Brittle right now, allowing him a 20% chance of success in absorbing Genes for the next week. What he didn't expect was that he would succeed with that 20% chance.
The problem was that his Bronze Gene Limit had already been reached. So the moment Extricate pressed through with success, it met another restriction that made Sylas' body convulse.
His body collapsed and his bones rattled. It felt like a hidden organ system within himself was being shredded apart, but it simultaneously felt clearer to him now than ever before.
A battlefield suddenly began raging through Sylas' body. Blood leaked from his ears and eyes, and Sylas realized that the Gene was slowly failing to be pushed out of his body.
Sylas immediately thought of a solution. If he used Extricate on himself, he could reverse this situation.
But when he sensed the state of his mind, he felt reluctant.
