Leonel barely managed to crawl into a pod and collapse. Truthfully, he had no idea how many days had passed. It might have even been a month for all he knew. He had been so solely focused on a single goal that he could mind anything else. Everything drifted away, and he fell into a deep sleep.
When Leonel awoke, his gaze flashed with a blindingly cold light. But when he looked around him, he found himself lying on a bed of ash.
'What the hell...'
"What do you think you're doing destroying my thing?!" Anastasia began to berate him immediately. "Do you know how expensive those things are to make?!"
"Expensive?" Leonel muttered, still a bit confused.
"Yes! Each one you see here took ten years of accumulation for me to make!"
Leonel didn't really think about where the pods came from before; they were just here after Anastasia finished her final breakthrough, so he never really thought about it. Now it seemed that there was a price to pay for them after all.
Even so, his mind was somehow both incredibly sharp and yet groggy at the same time. He didn't have the mind to care about the little World Spirit throwing another tantrum. n0velb1n
He slowly stood, putting a hand on his forehead.
"Well, damn..."
He looked around himself, and the region was in a complete mess. Let alone the pod he had crawled into, the surrounding kilometer was in shambles. He had left behind nothing but a big crater of darkness and destruction.
Seeing this scene, he was a bit worried. Was this because he had lost consciousness? Or was this just going to be his new norm now?
After some thought, Leonel felt that he should do this right. If he was going to be at the peak of the Third Dimension, then he should get there with his full strength.
He turned his attention to [Dimensional Cleanse], but when he began to circulate its method, so much Force rushed toward him that he hurriedly stopped, his brows furrowing.
He looked up and seemed to understand.
Under the influence of his Constellation Realm, these Stars he was about to form... were not normal by any stretch of the imagination. In addition, their synergy with [Final Destruction] was beyond his imagination.
Leonel had a feeling that though his father disdained to use [Dimensional Cleanse] because the introduction was too arrogant, he had still used some of its ideas as inspiration...
Or maybe was it that he had used his father's ideas for inspiration when he created [Dimensional Cleanse]...?
It was obvious which one had to come first even though it felt like a chicken and the egg situation. Maybe it was because it was him, but he was more certain the more he thought about it.
Maybe [Dimensional Cleanse] was created purely for the sake of pairing with [Final Destruction].
Leonel began to form his Stars once more. This time, even when the world seemed to collapse beneath the pull of his will, he didn't stop it.
Earth Force. Dark Force. Dream Force. Universal Force. Bow Force. Spear Force. Vital Star Force.
Three Innate Nodes.
One by one, ten Stars took shape, becoming the suns of the ten Bubble Worlds within Leonel. With every breath he took, streams of rainbow-like Force poured into his body, and he was practically brimming with power.
They seemed to restrain his violent destruction, not making it weaker, but pulling it under his control.
