Chapter 1257: Character
Sylas wanted to build his Combat Matrix based on his self-created Human Simioid Warlord Armor. However, he was simply too far away from such a thing.
His standards for what he wanted out of it were too high, and he was lacking far too much in foundation as well. Plus, if he wanted to succeed in that path, then he was going to need to enter the Beast Warlord Sanctum sooner rather than later.
However, Sylas now knew that entering the Sanctum was easier said than done. He had learned not long ago that there was a disciple acceptance ceremony he would have to survive first before becoming an official member under Gralith’s charge, and this was something that would surely be extremely dangerous.
Sylas had gotten rid of one of his biggest weaknesses—at least relatively speaking—that being his starting point. Right now, he was just as good in foundation as any D-Grade Race member.
However, the highest ceiling in this Sector wasn’t D-Grade, it was C. And while Sylas’ foundation was good, he lacked the same Unique Genes, various Gene Skills and Talents, and other advantages something from a well-established D-Grade Clan would have.
He had improved substantially, but it wasn’t enough to guarantee his life just yet. That was the difference between him and what the little girl expected out of a True Pride Seed vessel. He would never stop improving.
So, when Sylas saw that he had pretty much hit his immediate cap in what would be possible for the Scorpion Warlord Armor, and saw how far away he was from successfully forming his Human Simioid Armor, he realized that this right here was his chance.
Even at its very best, Sylas’ Scorpion Warlord Armor could only perform at about 60% of the number one Combat Matrix Index on the rankings.
This wasn’t good enough for Sylas.
Especially since Combat Matrix Index didn’t factor in one’s personal stats or abilities and combat strength gained from methods outside of Rune Mastery.
If Sylas wanted to match those geniuses, at a bare minimum, he wanted his Combat Matrix Index to be double theirs.
