Dimensional Descent

Chapter 3079  A Cripple?

The shock was palpable.

No one here was a fool. In order for them to even listen to such a mysterious figure in the first place, they had to have displayed an adequate level of power, one that made the Four Great Families wary at the very least.

They dared to make an enemy of Gervaise, and that was enough to speak about their level of overall power. For them to choose to team up with someone who had tampered with their Heirlooms instead of going all out to eradicate them, one could imagine the level of strength this shadowy figure had to have displayed.

How could such a person's suggestion be overridden so easily?

That was just the first problem. A far more shocking thing was the implication that, in order to destroy the suggestion in the first place, it had to be found. That was a whole other layer of difficulty.

Was it even possible for a person to do such a thing? The Heirlooms were the most important items in all the Four Great Families and yet they had no idea that they had been tampered with; how could someone else figure it out before they did?

The only explanation seemed to be that there was some internal struggle going on within the power this shadowy figure was from, but why would they go so far as to destroy something like this? This didn't seem to help them either. Wouldn't it be better to take advantage of such a carefully laid plan?

That was when the shadowy figure continued to speak and their eyes opened wide.

"It was Leonel Morales."

They didn't know how to take this information, but it was no doubt the truth since this shadowy figure had no reason to lie to them, or to make such a bold statement.

Still, Nysa had no choice but to ask.

"How do you know this?"

"You don't need to know. All you need to do is understand your target, their weaknesses, and take advantage accordingly."

With a flick of their hands, an object fell and landed in Nysa's palm.

"Use this." The shadowy figure continued to speak. "His Dream Force level is far beyond yours. Without this, you will suffer greatly."

After saying these things, the figure vanished.

The figure had only ever admitted to tampering with the Adurna family's Heirloom. None of them knew that they had actually tampered with all four of them.

Of course, the other families had still done their own checks after finding out about this matter, but they hadn't been able to find anything. If they were aware of this, the so-called Four Great Families would be even more shocked by Leonel's feat.

By now, with this said, it was obvious why it was that the figure was able to figure out that it was Leonel. That wasn't because they had sensed Leonel, but rather because the suggestion on Leonel's child had disappeared around the same time that all-pervading killing intent spread through the Dream Plane.

There was no doubt that that killing intent was aimed toward this shadowy figure and the Four Great Families. And after sensing it, the figure couldn't help but feel a frighteningly cold chill pervade their spine.

They had never sensed such unbridled fury before, and this was in the case that Leonel's child had come out unharmed.

What would have happened had they fully succeeded? For the first time, the shadowy figure felt hints of relief that their plan didn't work out as expected. Otherwise…

It was hard to tell just what might have happened to the landscape of the God Realm.

What others didn't know was that Leonel had only lost to the Demoness for a single reason: she started planning long before he did, and he had lived decades of his life without even knowing of her existence.

But now, after his first true death, he had already been expended as a piece on her chess board. There was no one in existence left that was capable of reining him in.

'It should be enough,' the shadowy figure thought, looking back toward the Four Great Families, thinking of the item they had left behind.

Dream Force experts were on the scale of the God Realm were truly fearsome. In fact, it was a very good thing that there were no official God Races that specialized in Dream Force any longer. Otherwise, it would likely be extremely difficult for any other powers to rise in their presence, at least not without being manipulated in ways they couldn't fathom.

The Fawkes Family was still much too small, while the Dream Asuras, whether by design or not, was still very much a Demi-God Race unless the other Demi-Gods who almost all took the opportunity to take that final step.

Still, while there were no Races on a large enough scale that specialized in this Force, there were still extraordinary experts. Much like how the dangers of Spatial Force were contended against with various formations and counters, powerful families and powers all had the capability of combating the worst Dream Force had to offer. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Some methods were more potent than others, and likewise, some cost a pretty penny just to put into action.

Given that this environment was an Inbetween World, the difficulty of countering Dream Force was exceptionally high because the cost of using Dream Force in the first place was extremely high.

It could be said that Leonel had only been able to succeed so easily in countering the suggestion precisely because they were in the Inbetween World. However, this was still what shocked the shadowy figure the most and caused them to make such a sacrifice.

So long as Leonel dared to rely on his Dream Force to start forcing large scale changes, he would be ensnared and pinned down. At that point, the shadowy figure would take personal action.

A cripple? Even if Leonel was that, he was too dangerous to allow to live for a moment longer.
