Dimensional Descent

Leonel made his way to Noah, his thoughts still filled with many things.

Ninth Dimensional Urbe Ore was still manageable. But in this world, there were literally no other Ninth Dimensional Ores.

Urbe Ore was a Foundational Ore, an Ore that was ubiquitous in its usage and it could be said that it was the most abundant in the world. And yet, the Godlens only had one of them.

Their next best mine was an Eighth Dimensional one that seemed to have Fire Elemental Ores of some kind. Leonel didn't even look into it much.

In the wider Existence, according to Anastasia, people used Reinforced Urbe Ore as the currency of choice. Unfortunately for the Godlens, that meant that even with a Ninth Dimensional Urbe Ore Mine, they still used Seventh Dimensional Reinforced Urbe Ore as their baseline currency. They would be paupers if they went anywhere else.

This was all to say that this was the mine of the greatest value the Godlens had, and yet it was the most common in wider Existence.

Just in general, Ninth Dimensional Evolution Ore was impossibly rare. This was an Ore capable of upgrading Ninth Dimensional Ores, which were already at the very pinnacle of existence.

The more Leonel thought about it, the more he thought his dad just rolled out of bed and decided to mess with him. If things were already this wild now, what would it take to enter the Fifth Dimension? Beyond that?

Leonel shook his head as he came to a cabin in the woods. He raised his hand to knock on the door, but Noah opened it first, a complicated look in his eyes.

Leonel grinned. "You look like you're doing much better, that's good."

"You saved me again."

"Eh..." Leonel scratched his head. "... honestly, you were only in so much danger to begin with because of me. Things wouldn't have gone left so quickly if I never appeared. I should have trusted you to have things in hand."

Indeed, back then Leonel had only allowed himself to be captured because he was worried about Noah. If he had trusted Noah to protect himself, things wouldn't have gone so poorly.
