1803 Really?
"Yes!" The words almost spilled out ofCherie''s mouth, she didn''t evenbother to look toward her fellowhead elders. Even after all of thistime, she still worried that Leonelwould turn around and ughtertheir family after he got what heneeded out of them. So, themoment she heard this, she didn''tallow anyone to be foolish enoughto hesitate.
Seaward and Rosellia looked toward Cheri with surprise, but at this point, they didn''t dare to detract even if they had such a thought. If they did, the result would be even worse than outright rejection. Leonel swept a gaze through thehead elders and then to Cherieand back. And then, he suddenlysmiled. There didn''t seem to be anythingspecial about the smile, but forsome reason it made them feel icecold. If Leonel had said somestern words just now, maybe theycould have handled it well enough.
But seeing that smile, that casual confidence, any sign of resistance they had crumbled to ash.
Leonel didn''t bother with the oldones anymore and he pulled out aradiant blue Force Pill.
Anyonewith the knowledge would be ableto tell that this was a refineddemon almost instantly.
Backthen, Leonel''s stomach hadalmost exploded just eating one,and yet now, he handed such athing to a 14 year old little girlwithout much hesitation.
"Swallow it," Leonel suddenly said.
Grey blinked but nodded obediently in the end. Her eyes reflected an extremely dull blue that truly did look grey in most lighting. It was a rare color that made her look like an exotic little doll. Seeing her, Leonel couldn''t help but think of another little girl, Nana. By now, Nana was probably a grown woman, if she didn''t die in his massacre, that is. Leonel could neither confirm nor deny if she did. Back then, he was too infuriated to care and directly destroyed the the Adurna family had called home.
Even if Nana had died,though,Leonel didn''t believe that hewould feel guilty. If she waspresent, that meant that she toohad participated in the waragainst Earth.
The little girl hehad known back then was gone,so one way or another, it didn''tmatter. Grey opened her small mouth andswallowed the pill whole. BOOM! Almost instantly, a wild wave ofForce shot out in all directions and a slight hint of pain colored Grey''s adorable features.
Even so, just as Leonel had expected, she didn''t implode, and instead, her aura began to skyrocket at a breakneck speed. This was exactly what the Florerfamily was missing. They had anenormousvessel, but they hadnothing to fill it with. Grey wasonly in the Fifth Dimension,having barely entered it justrecently. She was only at Tier 1,but she could actually withstandthe vitality of a Sixth DimensionalDemon.
This Force Pill was just from the remnant of a Human ss even so, it was on apletely different level. Even the members of the Cataclysm Generation weren''t as talented as such Demons. What shocked Leonel the most,though, was that it took less thana minute for Grey to open hereyes, herrge irises blinking withexcitement. But due to her usuallyreserved personality, she didn''tdare to make too much noise so she just beamed from the inside.
Although she didn''t know whatLeonel had just fed her, she couldfeel that her strength was almostten times as powerful as beforedespite the fact her DimensionalTier didn''t increase at all! <novelsnext></novelsnext>
Leonel gave Rosna and Jean onepill each as well, and they soonexperienced the same thing.
Theirblood flowed like a raging tide andtheir body began to undergomany changes. If not for the factLeonel had taught them how tocontrol their flow of Blood Forceto their partners, their nts
would have skyrocketed instrength as well.
"Here," Leonel flipped over a palmand handed Grey a little sapling. This tree couldn''t have been moreordinary on the surface, but theaura it gave off was refreshing andvibrant. This was a tree from theEighth Dimensional world of theinfant now, but in maturity, itcould grow to several kilometerstall with ease.
Grey''s small hands carefully picked up the sapling, a happy little smile causing dimples in her cheeks.
Leonel smiled and rubbed herhead. "I believe in your path, butyour white-barked tree is toolimited in its growth potential. This tree here was born in an Eighth Dimensional world. Although it is very ordinary in all aspects, just this foundation alonegives it the nigh infinite growth potential you need. You won''t be limited by your first choice anymore. Although, so long as you master the technique I taught you, you can partner with other powerful nts to supplement your strength."
Grey''srge eyes suddenlyglistened with tears. "Really?" This was the first time she hadspoken without Leonel asking hera question first, which surprisedLeonel somewhat,''She knew'', Leonel''s Dreamscapesparked. He understood right then thatGrey knew that she had alreadyreached the limit of her potential,she was just too scared to tenyone.
This little girl was incredibly astute and her talent was far beyond what even Leonel had anticipated. Leonel''s surprise became an evenwider smile.
"Yes,really." Grey''s tears began to fall but she quickly wiped them away, not wanting to affect the little sapling in her hands. Leonel couldn''t help but think that she was too adorable. Let alone this ones apling, he had tens of thousandshe had no idea what to do with. After all,the Segmented Cube was still pretty much a nk te in this regard.
"Thank you." Grey said with a softvoice. Leonelughed and stood to hisfeet. "If you want to thank me,grow very strong and powerful.Take good care of your littlesapling. In the future, you''ll be ofgreat help to me."
"Mm," Grey nodded surprisinglyfirmly. Leonel smiled and didn''t sayanything more. Whether or notshe would reach her full potentialwould be up to her.
"Alright, navigate this ship toward Radix territory. It''s time to fullysettle things."
