Dimensional Descent

Leonel continued to watch, his mind calm. He didn't feel any sense of satisfaction killing Shan'Rae. He had long since forgotten his grievances with this woman as it seemed so very insignificant in the grand scheme.

But even if he had still taken such grievances seriously, he still wouldn't feel pride toward such a thing. He had never seen himself as beneath the Gods, so why would he feel pride about being on par or surpassing them?

In truth, he couldn't ever remember feeling pride after a victory. Maybe satisfaction, maybe he liked the feeling... but pride? The only person who could have made him feel pride after defeating him was already dead.

As for how he had defeated Shan'Rae, it was quite simple. After he learned of what the Lineage Factor and abilities of the Void Race were from the Life Tablet, he already understood exactly how to defeat them.

Their control over space was truly second to none. With a thought, they could cross worlds, shrink a city to the size of a palm, or even call the skies down to them. They could use it fluidly to attack, defend, or move. Space was akin to an extension of their very being, a resonance of their senses.

It could even be said that when a member of the Void Race stepped into a region, their bodies were already manipulating the space.

Their bodies were similar to planets but on another level entirely. Their weight was obscene, and they carried all the heft of every one of the worlds that they had ever absorbed.

Because of this, space naturally warped and bent around them. And from birth, the members of the Void Race were taught how to coddle this space and make it their own. That was why a world wasn't destroyed every time a member of the True Void Race took a step, and it was also why the space around them was so easily controlled as well. It might as well have been called weight manipulation rather than spatial manipulation.

All of that said, the difference didn't particularly matter to Leonel, because whether it was true spatial manipulation or not, the counter was the exact same.

Leonel didn't need to stifle or stop their spatial manipulation. In fact, he could allow them to enhance it as much as they wanted, and he wouldn't even bother to stop them or feel fear.
