Dimensional Descent

Leonel stretched and tried to move, but Aina was still wrapped around him like some sort of cross between an octopus and a koala bear.

"You're so clingy, wife."

"Are you complaining, husband?" Aina sneered, not opening her eyes.

Leonel's face almost split with a wide smile. That was the first time Aina had called him that, and it felt sweeter than he had thought it would.

Aina opened an eye when she didn't hear Leonel respond, only to see a smile that she could only return in kind.

"I'm not done with you yet," Aina said after closing her eyes. "Be an obedient hunk of a pillow, please."

Leonel chuckled. "Alright."

He pushed himself up and shifted Aina's position, letting her curl up in his lap and arms as he pulled himself into a meditative position.

Whether she was here or not wouldn't really affect much. In fact, it made him calmer and his thoughts and Force only seemed to move more smoothly.

He had already gathered up all the resources he needed to enter the Fourth Dimension, but he was still missing a few things on the comprehension side.

His Forces weren't the problem. He had already succeeded in elevating them all to the Middle Impetus State and then some. What still remained on the list was comprehending True Destruction Sovereignty, tempering his body with Sixth Dimensional Pure Ores, and raising his Constellation Realm comprehension from Rudimentary to Common.

Luckily, that sudden breakthrough while he was running from Khelgis and Adru had covered a lot of those bases as well.

His Destruction Sovereignty had now entered the True State, melding what he was born with what he had comprehended.

His Constellation Realm Comprehension had reached Common.

As for his Metal Body, the situation had changed. Due to Leonel's deviation, he believed that what he had done was actually better than tempering himself with Sixth Dimensional Pure Ores.

Like his father had said, he had deviated from the original path, and thanks to the earlier mentioned breakthroughs, he began to use his Northern Star Lineage Factor as a conduit for his body's improvement.

Soon, there would come a day where his body was almost the perfect reflection of a God Beasts and the weakness of his human body would no longer be a limiter. And better yet, he would far surpass the demon body hidden within him.

A quarter of Leonel's blood might be that of a Demon, but in this state, it benefited him little to none. Aside from the boost he gained to his Dream Force affinity as a result, he was free of those chains... and he liked it that way.

Although he wasn't filled with as much rage as he had experienced back then, he was still Leonel and he was still stubborn about many things. That woman had forced him to watch his wife die right in front of him...

He would never rely on that power again.

Instead, he would wait until that power was nothing more than a pawn in his palms. When that day came, he would assimilate it as another extension of himself.

Nothing more, nothing less.lightsnovel

With all of those checkmarks met, and the True Dream Plane's rewards having given him full access to a mature Evolution Ore Mine, Leonel had everything he needed to break through.

All he needed to do was convert the 1,000,000,000 kilograms of Ninth Dimensional Evolution Ore to 100,000,000 kilograms mutated to match his Forces.

Luckily, he had Anastasia to handle that and it was all already prepared.

lightsΝοvel The materials appeared around him, teleporting from various regions of the Segmented Cube's world. Then, holding his wife in his arms, and without a care in the world, he began to absorb the materials.

He remembered the first time he had made changes to his Destruction World, it felt like his sense of self was being crushed bit by bit.

This time, the change was even more violent than last time, but he took it much better. Sweat beaded down his brows and his body tensed, but at the very least, he wasn't curled up in a ball and hiding in a corner somewhere.

He felt that a large reason for this was his Dream Force. As much as he wanted to say it was because of Aina's soft body pressing into his, that was only really a cherry on top.

His mind right now gained an almost flexibility to it that it hadn't had in the past.

Absolute confidence sounded nice, and it was also very strong, but it was also very brittle. If it was bent beyond a certain point, it would snap apart and break.

Leonel had gone beyond that point several times and the outcomes were never pretty.

But the flexibility he had now made his body more receptive to change.

He watched as the spheres of his Destruction World grew larger, increasing in size and truly flourishing.

Anastasia's Cleansing Waters was able to raise the quality of Ores to their peak. Leonel didn't have to refine anything out and could just bask in their perfection.

As his body elevated to a new Dimension, he felt a tirade of strength that had seemed to be blocked behind a dam rushing out of him.

His Forces, especially, began to truly flourish. Even without a single other breakthrough, he had truly become like a new person.

When Dimensions were first introduced to him, they were described as the difference between mortals and Gods. Crossing that dividing line should be akin to raising to a completely new state.

As Leonel grew more powerful, he began to care for this explanation less and less. It was just too easy for him to jump across Dimensions and crush people who should, supposedly, be Gods to him.

But feeling the changes in his body, his heart began to thump as those previous thoughts surfaced once again.

At the very least... if he was comparing his current self to his former self...

He had truly become a God.
