Dimensional Descent

Leonel had tried forming a Pure Force Crystal for several months previously, but he had failed to form even a single one. Not a single one.

How was he supposed to gather a million under these conditions? He wouldn't even know where to begin. Luckily, he didn't have to worry about this alone for long.

"Hey old man, come to Lab 001 for a second."

Leonel didn't speak loudly, but he controlled everything with the Segmented Cube. With a thought, his voice would be projected anywhere he wanted it.

Wise Star Order had been within he Segmented Cube the whole time, having fun with his new favorite toys, or, rather, disciples. This was good though, as it seemed that Candle and Vice were actually doing much better.

Not long after Leonel called out, all three came into the lab to find the enormous tentacle womb looming within a glass case. Candle and Vice weren't allowed into the Lab Setting usually, so this was only the second time they were seeing the tentacle womb after they first fought it.

Candle almost immediately hid behind Wise Star Order, shrinking herself down to the point it seemed she might want to vanish completely. Though, this was much better than her panic-producing hundreds of impenetrable barriers.

Despite Candle's reaction, the current tentacle womb actually looked much better than it did in the past and even seemed to be tending toward a more aesthetically pleasing variance.

Its bottom half was still as grotesque as ever, a vine network of slimy, greyish, purplish, blackish tentacles, protecting the exit of its womb. However, its upper half had become a budding flower with more layers and petals than most could care to count and sharing the very same color scheme.
