Dimensional Descent

Leonel dispersed the challenges with instant clear reward. His gaze narrowed as the Skies family took up their position on the large greed pads.

The current Skies family members didn't look anything like they had before. There were still only about 10 000 of them, but since the beginning of the Heir Wars, they had been wearing the very same simple linen clothing. But now, each one of them wore radiant armor, their foreheads fitted with a tight headband that seemed reminiscent of a simple crown.

The drama on the night side supercontinent was so great at the moment that many were still focusing on what was happening there, especially since Leonel had entered a bit of a lull since clearing his first section of the sea. But suddenly seeing that he had gained another special territory, the expressions of many couldn't help but become serious.

If Leonel succeeded, wouldn't this mean that he would claim half of the ocean for himself? Combining this with an entire supercontinent… wasn't this far too much?

Many saw the clear problem with this strategy, though. Leonel already had a shortage of people, what good was it to have this much territory? He should be attacking the others before they could gather any more people, this was his best chance.

There was only one explanation for this: Leonel wanted to prevent others from benefitting from the ocean. It was ambitious, more than they understood. Leonel's every action always seemed filled with so much confidence, it was clear that he did nothing by half measures.

He was ambitious when he needed to be. He drew back when caution was needed. He schemed better than most they had seen, and the sharpness of his mind seemed to be on another level.

Subconsciously, many realized that even when they couldn't explain why Leonel was doing something, they subconsciously believed that he had a good reason for doing so. This was a subtle, and yet prominent change occurring all across the Human Domain.

Leonel couldn't be sure of the mind of others, but he had clearly planned on this kind of change. There was a reason he hadn't just started the Domain War, and momentum was only part of the reason. He was far too unknown, most knew his father but not him.

He wanted to show this Human Domain that his own merits were enough to crush them.
