Dimensional Descent

The Overlord looked toward Leonel, his expression changing from its baseline for the first time since he had appeared. While his old age wasn't suddenly cured, it felt like his Life Force had been stabilized in a way that he had simply never imagined to be possible without the help of the World Spirit, and there was a very obvious elephant in the room... Just how had Leonel done this?

Leonel hadn't originally come to the Morales territory knowing of the existence of these Overlords. He was sure that his enlightened self had likely battled it out with these individuals, but he simply didn't remember enough details to know for certain. However, the matter of this Overlord's life wasn't too difficult for Leonel to handle because in this territory, he was practically invincible. He even had ideas on how to make this matter more permanent by using methods of separating soul and body and the like. Though, he held off on these matters for now.

Much like his grandfather and the Ascension Empire, the Morales territory had become the domain of Leonel's King's Might, and as a result of that, there were several benefits to be had.

For one, he could draw on the strength of the entire world, and that was World Spirit aside. It was simply impossible for even an Overlord to match him within the walls of this territory so long as his mind was fast enough to keep up with the battle and his mental strength didn't fatigue.

This was precisely why he had directly given up on the World Spirit. A World Spirit had limited amplification to strength outside of one's territory, which was why the young generation of smaller families didn't suddenly enter and become little overlords of the Void Palace.
