The obvious answer was the Dungeon mutation. But something about that answer felt too simple to Sylas.
What could a Dungeon mutation allow? A greater challenge? Potentially greater rewards?
The answer still seemed too simple.
There was one reason that left Sylas feeling this the most strongly. All he had done was attack the creature by accident and it had woken up, but they spoke about waiting all this time for this to happen.
If it was that easy to wake it up, why didn't they just attack it themselves?
'Ah. I see.'
Finally, it clicked as Sylas stopped looking at the portals as individuals but rather the sum of a whole. If the frequencies of them were pulled together, they would be very reminiscent of one thing…
Demi-God.
That was why it had woken up. Sylas' telekinesis was tinged with Demi-Godhood, and he had used it to attack the man leering at him. The result was the creature completing its evolution long ahead of the time it should.
