Dimensional Descent

It was almost laughable. In fact, if she had been in the mood to do so, laughing was pretty much all she could have done. She had bided her time, waiting in the shadows, and only struck when she felt that she had all the information she needed at her fingertips. But not only had she failed the moment she took a step out, she had done so in such a resounding fashion.

She closed her eyes, taking a deep breath.

Of the Cross Elders of Shield Cross Star, over half of them were here. There were only eight remaining at base. If things continued this way, over 20 of their Ancestors would fall here, and their ability to continue to control the situation would crumble. She couldn't allow this to happen, but she also most certainly couldn't allow herself to fall here. Selfish or not, her life was by far the most important.

If there was no one present in the Human Domain that could counter Leonel's access to the Dream Plane, then it would all be-

'Follow my words.'

The voice was light and sweet, and Veiga recognized them immediately. Of the high profile targets, there was Velasco, and then there was this woman. She was a great talent, and if nurtured she could become a supreme asset to their cause. In addition, while she was arrogant, she had never painted outside the lines. She could be controlled and she could be guided. So while Veiga kept one eye on her, she didn't make any moves to deal with her like she did the others.

This woman was, of course, Cynthia Omann, the Scorned Queen Beauty.

But what shocked Veiga was that she hadn't sensed when Cynthia entered the Dream Plane at all. Had she been wrong all along to not pay attention to this girl? No, that wasn't in her personality; she had most definitely done her due diligence, it just hadn't mattered in the slightest.

Velasco had never bothered to hide his presence because of his arrogance, so she had known he was from the very beginning. In fact, she didn't dare to even probe him as Velasco was simply on another level compared to her. Unlike she who could only enter the Dream Plane in an Incomplete World, Velasco was just like a King who could enter the Dream Plane even in a complete one!
