Dimensional Descent

Leonel's voice suddenly became frighteningly cold. His body hadn't even fully reformed yet as God Runes soared through the air and implanted themselves within him. [Instant Recovery] was being pushed to the very limits, and that was precisely Leonel's intention.

The purpose of [Instant Recovery] was to return to one's peak condition, but its actions and execution were variable. The first variable was the level of the Northern Star Lineage Factor that you had reached. Back then, because Leonel had only reached the Snowy Star Owl level, it was difficult for him to heal from an injury like the one Amery had left on him.

However, now, Leonel had not only integrated with the perfect Northern Star Lineage Factor but also had the support of Tolliver. In the grinding and destruction of his body, he had hidden Tolliver's soul in his Ethereal Glabella. Both of their bodies had been destroyed at once, but that didn't stop them from piggybacking off of one another to maximize the use of this [Instant Recovery].

And the second variable was, of course, what did peak condition mean? Obviously, that should refer to whatever Leonel's peak state was. But what if he was in the middle of a breakthrough and used [Instant Recovery]? For every second that passed, the definition of Leonel's "peak condition" changed, and due to that, [Instant Recovery] had to continuously add more and more energy to make up for it.

Leonel was essentially using [Instant Recovery] as a cheat to quickly gather up vast stores of energy, and he was relying on his Stars to incorporate with and withstand that large influx of energy. His body was quickly becoming more and more perfect, but he struck down with impunity.

BANG!

He had unlocked an infinite energy glitch in reality itself, and he was going to use it.

Evergreen, Zoltene, and Solaraan were enveloped by a palm. They all let out roars, but Leonel's strength was easily tens of times what it had been before. Before anyone could react, the palm landed and silence rose into the skies. When everyone saw the result, they felt their hearts tremble.

Solaraan was dead.

Evergreen was so badly mutilated that it was hard to tell she had ever been a person to begin with.

Zoltene barely managed to prop himself up, but his previous calm indifference had vanished into the wind. It felt like he was experiencing the greatest humiliation of his life.
