Dimensional Descent

Earth seemed even more gorgeous from above than it ever had been before; Swirls of white clouds; rushes of blue oceans; endless expanses of greenery; it wasn't as fanciful as some other planets; but it was perfect in its simplicity… at least for the most part;

There was one part of the blue-green planet that wasn't different from the rest, and that was a singular tree so large that it was visible even from the depths of space, the very same Ascension Tree where the core of the Empire lay;

Last time Leonel had seen it. it was barely the height of a tall skyscraper. but now it made mountains seem small and insignificant; If not for the terraforming technology of Earth. even the moon's orbit would be interrupted by it;

The appearance of the flagship within Earth's territory was enough to cause a large stir; How could a ship the size of a moon not have such an impact? However. when the various checkpoints showed the somewhat frail Leonel standing at the bow and felt the familiar aura of the Fawkes family. there were very few that dared to stop him;

Leonel should have been beaming on his return home, but the things that he had seen on his way here left his expression frighteningly cold, so cold that many who hadn't dared to stop him didn't do so directly out of fear; They only reported this to the higher ups;

This led to an odd situation where some let Leonel go because they recognized him. but others simply hadn't been able to build up the courage to do so.

This was odd indeed; Although Leonel had recovered somewhat. he still looked frail and skinny; His current body's strength was maybe 30% of what it should be at his peak; But even so. most couldn't bear to look him in the eye;

When Leonel crossed the final checkpoint and entered Earth's solar system. he wasn't only greeted by the sight of Earth. but he also found several vessels rising into the air.

Leonel's gaze flashed; Upon these vessels, there were a large number of red hair and red eyed individuals; It took only a single instant for Leonel to recognize them;
