Dimensional Descent

Leonel coughed before his expression turned solemn. There were too many things about this Zone that confused him, too many questions he wanted to ask that no one would give him an answer to.

Could it be that this wasn't a Mythological Zone and it was instead a Variant Zone?

It had to be remembered that Variant Zones signified the end of a world. They appeared when a territory was at a crossroads and they would either face annihilation or deviate toward the correct path and prosper far more than they ever had before.

What was most important to note about Variant Zones though, in this case at least, wasn't the opportunity they presented, but rather the fact that…

Variant Zones were a peek into the future.

If this was the case, then maybe this all made sense. The evolution in Force Manipulation, the prominence of the families of Earth, the unique changes to the techniques and paths those of this world took…

Could it be that this world was actually Earth all along?

But then where did these demons come from? Was it the influence of the Silver Empire? Did the Silver Empire make a comeback and cause all of this to occur, forcing the people of Earth to share the only Eighth Dimensional world of the Human Domain with them?

This was also a possibility…

He had heard of the people here mentioning Spirituals, so all of this was potentially true. The only thing that didn't quite add up was that this world was far too large to be the original Earth, but then again, just how large was the Void Palace? Clearly there were methods of making higher Dimensional worlds break the laws of physics he was used to from the Third Dimension.
