Dimensional Descent

Aina's eyes lit up, but she didn't interrupt Leonel.

"But I also don't think it's that simple. There's a fundamental difference between Weapon Forces and other Forces, and that's that Weapon Forces all start from the foundational Dimension."

Aina frowned. Didn't all Forces do that? Leonel's Scarlet Star Force was the perfect example. If not, he wouldn't have to undo the seals step by step. If it was someone else, Aina would have probably interrupted, but Leonel wasn't someone who would make such a rudimentary mistake, so she just continued to listen.

"When you look at other Forces, it feels like that happens as well, but it feels like… a rubber band," Leonel chose this example after a while. "The stronger the Force, the tighter and thicker the rubber. It's harder to stretch, but it's also more resilient at greatest length, it also stores up more energy per length stretched.

"If you take a normal Fire Force and you compare it to Scarlet Star Force, the latter is the far thicker and more powerful rubber band, even right from the start. If you stretch it a single inch, and let's say that inch represents the Third Dimension, if I release it, which rubber band will fly further and have greater impact is obvious.

"But the starting point, from the very beginning, is different.

"For some Forces, if you stretch it past a certain point, rather than producing more powerful effects, the rubber band will snap. There are just certain levels of power it won't be able to reach no matter what. That's the most ultimate truth.

"Take my Dark Ice Force, for example. It's a Fifth Dimensional Force…"

Aina's brows jumped up when she heard that. She hadn't even thought about it before, but the moment Leonel mentioned Dark Ice Force, things suddenly started falling into place.
