1788 Choice


    Rosellia and Seaward had difficulty rebutting Cherie''s words. This was something the two ahd, obviously, been quite aware of. But they were simply unwilling, and what made it all worse was that this had been caused by their greed. Had they not attacked Earth backthen, with how much the Ascension Empire had on their te, how could they have time todeal with a scuffle between two Sixth Dimensional families?


    Had they not been on Earth''s radar, they could have used this moment to make a final push into Midas and Radix territory, swallowing them up and secretly taking advantage ofmotion to retreat in secret to digest their gains.But now it was difficult even tomake that argument. They werestuck between a rock and a hardce.


    They could either sit backand hope that Earth would forgettheir transgressions and not dealwith them even after resolvingtheir issues in the future, or they could rush forward with this and inevitably pop back up on their radar.


    Either way, their fates didn''t seemto be in their own hands. "Then we''ll just have to ept theoffer," Rosellia eventually saidcoldly.


    When this was said,even Cheriehesitated, not saying anythingimmediately. Her kind featuresseemed marred by worry. If thissort of choice was made, thereruly was no going back.


    Thosebeople seemed to be very interested in their inheritance, but if their proposal was epted, then they would have very little control of where things went from here. Ultimately, there were two predictable roads between themand one wild card. If they sat back and did nothing, they wouldeither eventually be destroyed in the future, or they would continue to wallow in mediocrity.If they attacked,they would offend the Ascension Empire and If they epted this proposal...


    any of those things could also happen, but there was also a small chance that they could break out of their cocoon and bloom.It was clear what kind of philosophy the Florer family usually had. Since they had dared to attack Earth back then even while knowing the kind of sticky situation they might get themselves into.


    However, even so, they were used to doing risk assessments as well.


    Back then,Earth was still a fledgling world and they seemed vulnerable. But now, they had already grown into a behemoth iparison to them.


    At the same time, if those peopledared to do as they said, then itwas likely that they were anotherbehemoth, one that their familyalso couldn''t afford to offend.


    The question was,should theymake a deal with the devil toescape a demon? Cherie couldn''t make thisdecision. Back then she hadn''tstopped the family from attackingEarth because she too understoodthe concept that if one wasn''t moving forward,they were moving backward. <novelsnext></novelsnext>


    If everyone around you was improving while you, yourself, was stagnant, it really was no different from moving in the reverse direction.


    As a family that had survivedmany centuries to make it to thispoint, even conquering a gxy tothemselves, they couldn''t affordto take a step back, especiallysince so many were eyeing Earth''sterritory right now. Worsee to worst, they wouldjust allow their World Spirit todissipate and be true citizens of Earth. But if they were ostracized and their territory was taken over first before they could do even that, then what chance did they stand?


    The three head elders looked toward one another and fell into silence. It seemed that they hadmade their choice. They didn''t need to say anything to understand one another''s conclusions.However,before they could takeany further steps, amotionbroke out.


    As Leonel walked, he had to admit that the feeling of moist, softgrass beneath his bare feet feltalmost too good. The Florer family territory was indeed a beautiful one, exotic nts of all sorts bloomed in thesurroundings, filling the air withan earthy and delicate fragranc ethat soothed the soul, it even somewhat reminded Leonel of the scent of rain, but it was perpetual. He didn''t waste any time and hade directly to their main, he truly didn''t believe that anyone here could stop him. Even up until this point, he hadn''t felt it necessary to take his hands out of his pockets and he was enjoying the scenery more than anything. The shouts of warriors and rms began to re, ruining theambience somewhat. However,every time they exposed their position, another swirling mass of Emtion Spatial Force wouldshoot through the air, impaling them all. The Florer family members weresimply too weak.


    Leonel wasalready able to kill one of their strongest warriors and geniuses back when he was in the Fifth Dimension. Now that he was in Tier 3 of the Sixth Dimension,what chance did they stand now?In what felt like just a few minutes, Leonel had already made it to the main gates of their estate.


    The entirety of Florer wascovered in foliage and nt-life,even the water sources werecovered in nts of all kinds,making it look like a ofgreen from above.


    Their main estate was really no different at all, it was hard to tell if it was a real fortress at allbecause even its sturdy constructions were covered innt life.


    BOOM!A rush of Spatial Force came outfrom Leonel like the swing of ahammer. In just a single strike, thetall gates deformed, a dent thatwas over 20 meters across andover five meters deep appearingright at its very center. Leonel raised an eyebrow. ''


    It survived that?... It''s actuallyrepairing itself too...Leonel was a bit reluctant to useFire Force in such a beautifulce, but that didn''t mean hewouldn''t if it came to it. For now,though... It didn''t feel necessary. Leonel''s gaze shed.


    BOOM!The gates flung open with suchforce that they were ripped offtheir hinges.
