Dimensional Descent

Chapter 3103  Kira's Smile

Leonel appeared in yet another mountain range, if it could be called that. At this point, it looked like the world of the dead, and this entire region of land had pretty much become cursed.

Before, it was just because there were the bodies of Void Beasts and the Shadow Tail here. But now, there were all six Envoys of Destruction including the Void Beast.

On top of that, there was another addition.

Primordial Terror.

It could be said that this region was the densest concentration of Destruction in the world and it was almost a shame that Leonel didn't frequent it much.

It was just that… Leonel didn't feel like he needed to.

"Yip! Yip!" n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Blackstar suddenly appeared in a swirl of spiraling black, popping out of the air like it was a curtain the moment he sensed Leonel.

He landed on the latter's shoulder, swiping at his ears a few times with a playful claw.

Clearly, the little guy was happy to see him.

By this point, Blackstar already had the mature thinking processes of a truly powerful person. He was no less sophisticated in how he saw the world even if he did act a little childishly sometimes.

As far as Leonel was concerned, the two of them were brothers as well.

Blackstar had been by his side ever since the little guy was an infant. And back then, although Leonel had been older, it truly wasn't by as large a measure as he had thought.

He was just 18 years old back when this little guy first tried to take his head off in some sort of sick game. Now, it had been over a decade since then, a lot more than that if he counted all the time warp shenanigans…

The two had come a long way.

He could feel that Blackstar was a lot more powerful now than when he first awakened his Idol. It had been an entire three years since then and the little guy had always been a shocking talent.

Ironically enough, Leonel had only ever really done one thing for Blackstar, and that was choosing the Path of Mimicry for him way back when he first met Uncle Montez.

Now, that proved to be the best choice imaginable precisely because Blackstar had so many powerful beasts to study.

At this point, Blackstar was already no weaker than a true Envoy of Destruction, and maybe in another few decades, he would stand on the same level as the Primordial Terror.

Leonel gave Blackstar a few scratches as he walked forward, the smile on his face not fading. At the very least, he was experiencing a bit of calmness and beauty to offset the deep discomfort that had been in him these last few weeks.

Ever since he knew someone targeted his child, he wanted blood, and he still wanted it now. But at the very least, it was a controlled fury.

Soon, he laid eyes on a young woman with delicate brown skin and bobcut hair not much unlike Emna.

Kira.

Ever since the loss of her family, Kira had been working harder than maybe anyone else. Even the likes of Amery and Fifth Nova could only be on par with her. They had really driven themselves over the edge in service of repaying their debts and growing stronger.

While some of the Humans in this world had already forgotten the real reason they were here, these few had really pushed themselves to the limit, taking advantage of the resources Leonel gave them and the fact that this world was truly no weaker than any God Realm.

Kira looked up to see Leonel, a smoldering darkness in her gaze.

Inwardly, Leonel could only sigh.

He remembered when he first met this little girl. She was so cheery and lively. But now…

He couldn't help but wonder if it was a mistake to allow her to stay here with no one but Blackstar to keep her company.

For long stretches of time, Leonel neglected even his own brothers, even his own cousin, in fact… it was only natural that he ended up ignoring Kira who he, objectively, had quite a minimal relationship with.

However, he still felt like he held some responsibility for the things that happened even though he was fairly certain that they likely wouldn't have changed.

His grandfather, Gervaise, seemed to act with impunity, but when Leonel assessed his actions from an objective point of view, he quickly found that Gervaise usually ended up making the correct decision.

It was just that… the correct decision wasn't always the right decision.

The way the world was now, there might not even be a world in another few thousand years or so. Making decisions purely based on logic alone no longer made sense to him.

It was the reason he chose to make his wife happy and they were having their first baby together…

And it was also the reason, although he understood his grandfather, he also couldn't accept everything he had done.

Back then, Leonel had been well on his way to conquering the entire Human Domain, but then his grandfather whisked him away and used some unique method to regress his Dimension back to the Third.

Due to that, the Morales ended up collapsing and so many people suffered as a direct result because he was no longer there to hold up the sky.

Kira was just one of those victims, and in a lot of ways, he wouldn't blame them if they blamed him.

But Kira and Fifth Nova hadn't taken such a route. They were both practically running their bodies into the ground for a chance at revenge.

So Leonel felt that it was only right he give them such an opportunity.

"It's about time, no?" Leonel asked lightly.

For the first time in a while, he saw Kira's cherry lips curl into something that looked like a smile.

But it was far more sinister than just that.
