Dimensional Descent

The more Leonel walked, despite his ginger steps, the more his pain faded and the colder his eyes became. The reveal of the location of the Variant Invalid's stronghold was still a huge deal. No matter how much the God Realm hated the Northern Star Lineage Factor, they had even greater hatred for the Variant Invalids. This was just a matter of nature.

No matter how against the Northern Star Lineage Factor they were, it wasn't comparable to the Variant Invalids who followed a completely different path. It wasn't until Leonel had truly grasped Destruction that he knew where this difference lay.

Although it sounded somewhat exaggerated, it could even be said that the threat of the Variant Invalids was comparable to the Northern Star.

As for why that was, it was a matter of their Path. It could be said that the Variant Invalids were more of a conduit for Destruction than even the Northern Star itself, or more accurately, they were the vessel through which the universe spread Destruction.

There had been something that Leonel had been neglecting all of this time.

Force Manipulation followed a set path. It unfolded the Forces to the state of Impetus, and then it compacted them, trying to help them to reach the First Dimension.

What was all of this a product of? Wasn't it all following a Path of Creation?

The Impetus State referred to the Impetus of Life.

The Life State was where the kernel for potential of Life lay.

The Creation State was where the kernel for potential of Life began, the location that gave Existence the tendency to move toward Life in the first place.

Each and every one of these steps was best described as a type of Creation, where Creation itself was the pinnacle.
