Sylas didn't say anything as the World Serpent forced more of its enormous body through the portal above them, nor was he particularly surprised by the number of Gods descending into the World of Spirits.
Every one of them still fell within the new Level limit, including this creature, and while Sylas had never seen much of Gentrixaul beyond the inside of his body, he knew the petty serpent's Will well enough to recognize immediately that this wasn't him, or at least wasn't entirely him.
That realization barely occupied Sylas' attention, though, since his thoughts were still fixed on Ekear's sudden appearance and the trap that had almost closed around him.
The mysterious woman behind the portal hadn't simply sent the Heavenly Serpentes to delay him, and Ekear hadn't appeared here by coincidence either. She had arranged all three pieces together in a way that would have turned whatever choice Sylas made into a weapon against him.
