Dimensional Descent

Chapter 3121  Better

“It’s, um… Well…”

Anastasia seemed to be mulling something over.

Leonel realized that it wasn’t that she was trying to figure out what to say, but rather if she should be saying it at all. Right now, Anastasia wasn’t just weighing how to help Leonel, but she was also considering her own moral values and compass.

There were certain things that had changed between them, but there were also some things that remained the same.

She wanted to help Leonel, but now she had her own thoughts about such things. And unfortunately for her, she wasn’t quite used to hiding her thoughts and picking and choosing things.

She was high on intelligence and deductive reasoning, but her emotional intelligence was much lower by comparison.

It made her very easy for Leonel to read, even if she would likely feel unfathomable to most people.

Soon, Leonel realized why it was that she was struggling like this.

“The simplest thing to do would just be to resurrect the Envoys…” she finally said as though someone was pulling her teeth.

Leonel smiled, finally understanding.

It seemed that she was very much against the resurrection of the Destruction Envoys.

He could tell why. They were the antithesis of World Spirits who wanted to see the flourishing of the world. Creating it would make her feel quite disgusted with herself even if the target wasn’t her own world.

At the same time, it wasn’t particularly easy. It would ironically be easier for her to resurrect a God Beast of Creation as opposed to an Envoy of Destruction despite the former being far superior.

God Beasts of Destruction were beasts of Creation that eventually veered down another path. They weren’t normally created from scratch but earned their Titles through life or had them passed down through blood.

If Anastasia did this, she would probably be the first World Spirit in all of history to create a God Beast of Destruction herself.

Leonel chuckled. “And you don’t want to do that?”

Anastasia pouted. “They’re disgusting.”

“Oh man, don’t let Blackstar hear you.”

“Blackstar and Kira are exceptions!”

Leonel laughed harder. “And why’s that?”

“I…”

Anastasia’s eyes rolled in their sockets as she tried to find an answer. But truthfully, she didn’t know.

“You’re bullying me again!”

Leonel would have spit up his drink if he had one. This little girl was learning too fast. She had definitely picked that one up from Aina.

When you’re losing an argument, just play the guilt trip card.

Leonel couldn’t even get a word out in front of Aina these days. The moment he tried, the baby would be brought up. It was an endless cycle and one he’d never be able to escape for the rest of his life.

In the end, he could only laugh. Who asked him to be a soon-to-be father?

“And what are you thinking about instead, then?”

“If your goal is just to create a force of Dream Force masters, it would be better to target humans who already have a small affinity and use the Envoys of Destruction to bolster them. We already have plenty here.”

“Better?” Leonel asked with a smile.

Anastasia blushed again. It definitely wouldn’t be better. Having Envoys they could control would be a thousand times better than trying to raise an army of humans to do the same.

However, she really didn’t want those icky beasts around.

Just when Leonel was about to tease her again, her eyes lit up as though she had just realized something.

“It really would be better.”

“Oh?” Leonel didn’t refute this time. He assumed that she had thought of something amazing.

“Yes. I can copy your Ability Index and return them all to the Third Dimension with ease. In fact, I can revert them all the way back to children pretty easily, but that’s beside the point.”

Leonel’s eyes lit up. All this time he had been looking for a way to automate his new Dream ability. It took up too much stamina.

But he had forgotten.

Anastasia wasn’t just a master of Time Force; that just happened to be one of the most useful Forces of this world. She was adept at the use of all Forces. In fact, saying that she was adept was even doing her a disservice.

There wasn’t a Force in the world that she couldn’t use within her world.

Including Dream Force.

But what surprised Leonel was the fact that she could copy his Ability Index. If he had known that, he would have guessed this long ago.

In fact, if he was correct, there probably also wasn’t an Ability Index in the world that Anastasia couldn’t use. Or more accurately, any Ability Index that stepped foot into her world was in her purview. And, further than that…

Any Ability Index that was in the Life Tablet.

“If I revert them to an early enough state, I can even change their Ability Index. I can also make them very malleable and allow them to accept the changes of new Lineage Factors with much greater ease. We can easily recreate the pinnacle of the Human Race because I have you as a template.

“It’s easy to reverse engineer the success of the God Beasts of Creation. And with my skill as a World Spirit, I can make it even better.”

Leonel’s gaze flickered. It seemed that even when he overestimated Anastasia, he was still underestimating her.

Saying that Anastasia just might be the strongest treasure in existence wasn’t an exaggeration any longer.

“In fact, your idea isn’t all bad. Because the Human Race is so malleable, we can use the Dream Asura blood to bolster their foundational Dream Force ability and then layer the blood of the Envoys on top of that…”

Anastasia’s understanding of these matters was much deeper than even Leonel expected, so much so that she said something that caught him off guard in the end.

“An even better template for all of this would be the Spirituals.”
