A Malleable Gene State was more than what most could hope for. It meant an 80% success rate of absorbing a Gene. Just a year ago, back when the trial first began, Sylas would have killed—quite literally—for a Gene State Elixir of this caliber.
He had tried to find better, he really had. It should ahve been relatively easier given the fact he was only an F-tier and his sheer amount of wealth. But a Malleable Gene State Elixir was still the very best he could find.
Under normal circumstances, he would feel good about his odds. But right now… a 20% chance of losing a Legendary Gene that was so useful to him felt like too high a chance of failing.
When he was dealing with the Legendary Genes of the Emperor Armors, he was already guaranteed to succeed. The space was already made in his body and the system was facilitating everything.
But now? There was no guarantee.
