Dimensional Descent

[Bonus chappy thanks to Mr. Ham <3 (6/6)]

Leonel had grown up on modern Earth. Due to advanced technology, it was extremely rare for someone to die sooner than they should. Life expectancy was easily two to three times more than it had been on ancient Earth and everyone, for the most part, lived healthy lives.

Although there was something like the floating islands that separated the haves from the have-nots. Honestly speaking, Leonel never minded them. Even on a floating island, he had lived in a large suburban home with tons of space. In a way, it was even better to live on a floating island than it was to live on the surface...

Until that fateful day came, of course.

Leonel had always had his father, and back then he didn't care much for the memory of his mother, so he had never lost anyone until recently.

But these days, it felt like he was losing important people around him all the time.

Auran had been a man he knew for a brief time, but his selflessness moved Leonel. He was willing even to give up the right to fight for Heirship so long as he could keep his family together.

Valorie was a woman he had only known for a short time as well, but her plight was one he understood, mostly because he had originally begun his journey of becoming a King precisely to pick people like her.

Valorie had talent, but she wasn't born with two Lineage Factors. As such, though she had aspirations of becoming the Matriarch of the Morales family, she wasn't allowed to participate as an Heir and could only follow Ramon in.

She worked very hard, but she could never reach her goals, and that was the plight that many were in. The world was a cruel place and hard work could only get you so far. It wasn't lost on Leonel that even he could only reach this step because he had been lucky enough to be born with the talent that he had.

Without the influence of his future self bearing down on him, having shed at least some of that near baseless arrogance of his, he could see it more clearly than anyone.

He could be confident in coming out of any situation because he had Dream Force affinity that surpassed anyone he had ever met. He could return to the Third Dimension and rebuild his foundation from the ground up because he had a grandfather that had the means and the willingness to sacrifice for his sake. He could stand here, overlooking the tears of others only because he had a father who was willing to give his life to give him just the slightest sliver of a chance.

He was lucky.

He had shed a lot of blood, sweat, and tears, but he knew that this was the truth.

Suddenly, he remembered that feeling of sheer loneliness.

"Anastasia, expand your scanning radius through the ground. Avoid that underground city for now. I need to find Urbe Ore deposits. They need to have at least a billion kilograms, and preferably be at least of the Seventh Dimension."

"That's easy enough, but you're aware that all of those kinds of places have already been found, right?"

"All the better." Leonel said calmly. "I'm in a bad mood anyway."

"Okay," Anastasia replied.

Though she said this, she did her best to look for unoccupied mines. Due to this, she lagged behind by several hours, and could only sigh at the ultimate result.

"The closest I could find with a billion kilograms worth of un-mined Urbe Ore is Fifth Dimensional, of course under the control of the Godlens, as they all are. It's being patrolled by a troop of Seventh Dimensional existences.

"There are about three dozen of these, each one has at least a thousand such powerful existences, and are led by one Eighth Dimensional existence.

"There are about a dozen Sixth Dimensional..."

Anastasia continued to list them, and every step up she went, the security was even more terrible.

It made sense, the Godlens were prepared for war and Urbe Ore wasn't just currency, it was the most important strategic resource to any power. Even the Fifth Dimensional ones were under such lock and key.

"... you know Leonel, we can choose a different approach. Weren't we talking about resources you would want me to grow here? If you find the core of the mines, I could probably grow a mine of that size in a few months..."

lightsΝοvel Anastasia was rightfully worried. If Leonel only needed one batch, it would be easy enough. But Leonel needed to mine a billion worth of kilograms to have enough once the Ore was refined. There was no way he wouldn't be noticed because you couldn't just sneak that amount of Ore out from under the noses of so many powerhouses.

Leonel looked toward Little Tolly. The little guy did have the ability to produce Ores, but after his breakthrough, Leonel was certain that much like everything else, it didn't come without a price. If he really asked Little Tolly to produce that much, would he still even have the little guy?

Plus, Little Tolly could only produce up to Sixth Dimension Ores right now, Leonel was a little reluctant to take that sort of risk with his partner for an insignificant gain.

After some more thought, he focused on the Fifth Dimensional mines.

'One step at a time. Once I'm more powerful, I can easily reforge the Destruction World with stronger materials.'

"It's okay, when have I ever let you down?" Leonel said. "Show me the layouts of the three dozen Fifth Dimensional mines, I'll have to pick carefully."
