Dimensional Descent

The world was practically collapsing around them, but all Leonel could look at were the two bundles in his arms. He couldn’t see them, but he could feel them all too clearly.

They were slippery, soaked through in water and blood, but they were so soft and supple to the touch, so delicate that he felt that if he pressed on them even a little bit too hard, he might accidentally break them.

He could feel their little wiggles and their strong heartbeats, their attempts to cry out. that were somewhat suppressed by the Force swirling around them.

But he could also feel their closeness to him. Their reliance, their inherent trust and security.

The tears brimmed in Leonel’s eyes, and he found that his heart was overflowing. Seeing her husband in such a state, Aina couldn’t hold back her own tears. They had already been there, but they flowed even faster than before.

Neither cared very much about what was happening in the outside world, or what kind of commotion their babies were triggering. All they cared about was the fact they had been born spry and healthy, two little cute, adorable bundles of joy that made one feel as though they were gushing with love.

Elaine and the other wives had to stumble away, the pressure of their babies’ birth being too much for them to handle. This sort of Force momentum was unlike anything a Third Dimensional existence would ever face; even a Fifth Dimensional existence would feel wholly inferior. It was only right that they try to make some distance and separate themselves, lest they accidentally die from one of their babies’ cries. Leonel shook his head, not having the hands left over to wipe his tears away. But he had to force himself to focus.

He didn’t know exactly what was happening to his babies right now.

According to his own parents, he had had a phenomenon manifest during his birth, but it was related to his Scarlet Star Innate Node. As far as he was aware, there weren’t any other phenomena related to birth at all.

But it didn’t feel like it was just an Innate Node being formed either. At the very least, the momentum shouldn’t be so great even if it was one.

Leonel’s current senses couldn’t be described in just a few words, and after his recent breakthroughs, his ability to see through the world was on another level as well.

He trusted his judgment. But it still felt murky for now.

There was definitely something odd happening.

He could sense Weapon Forces swirling in the air, but as far as he kne that didn’t make sense.

It wasn’t possible for Innate Nodes to be inherited in the first place. And even if they could be, he had only formed his Weapons Innate Node after he impregnated Aina and entered a century-long seclusion.

So even if there was something to be inherited, his babies wouldn’t have been able to. But he couldn’t have been more certain about it.

His son was quickly forming a Spear Force Innate Node.

His daughter was quickly forming a Bow Force Innate Node.

He thought that might be the end of it, but then Ax Force descended... and then Fist Force...

Leonel’s lip twitched. What the hell was going on?

His son and daughter were forming a full array of Weapon Forces in their bodies, and it was leaving him completely speechless.

But then he caught a subtle twinge of something in the air that made his gaze sharpen.

’So that’s it...’

His son and daughter wouldn’t just gain his own Lineage Factors, but that of Aina’s as well. But there had been a mutation in the Brazinger family Lineage Factor.

The Berserk War God Lineage Factor was one that allowed the Brazingers’ natural control over weapons. It was part of the reason, aside from her Ability Index, that Aina was able to seamlessly use so many weapons over the course of her life. Though she always focused on the ax in the end.

Somehow, Leonel’s breakthrough in the formation of the very first Innate Nodes in Existence had allowed this to happen.

... Dream Force...’

Leonel finally understood.

After what happened to their babies and how the Brazingers almost took over their psyches, Aina had put a lot of effort into nurturing their souls and bolstering her own Dream Force control.

But around that time was when Leonel grasped King Force and had a breakthrough in his Dream Force.

The breakthrough in his Dream Force allowed him to surpass timelines, grasping things from lives he hadn’t lived personally and incorporating them into his combat

strength.

The breakthrough in King Force had allowed him to gain the ability to rewrite the past with new rules, like how he had used his King Force to break into the Seventh Dimension in a single bound by making it seem like he had always had King Force by his side.

King Force could rewrite the laws of causality, breaking the rules of the world, tweaking a rule, and then applying it as though it had always been ironclad. When these factors all came together, their babies forged an entirely new path, forming ten Innate Nodes of various weapons and martial forms in a single bound. And then, as though that wasn’t enough, both formed a King Force Innate Node, something that even Leonel didn’t technically have. It took shape right in the place of their Ethereal Glabellas, and the difference between their Ethereal Glabella and the Innate Node was next to nothing... In fact, in a shocking change, they seemed to be one and the same.

And then the Morales Lineage Factor took root, ”Metal” Body triggering all on its own and changing their Constitutions to ones that matched Leonel’s own.

This should have been enough to end it all.

But then... they gained their mother’s Soul Clairvoyance Lineage Factor. Although they didn’t gain the Ability Index to match it... did it matter when they had King Force?
