Chapter 3080 Chaos Leonel stood in silence, overlooking an island. Moments ago, this island couldn't be said to be vibrant, but it had been bustling with life. Now, however, it was burning in an inferno of flames, slowly sinking into the thick black waters below. There was a light of indifference in his eyes, one that looked down on the world as though no amount of death or destruction could faze him. And yet, that was in direct contrast to the beautiful fluttering violet lights around him. In his hundred years of seclusion, Leonel had only really been able to focus on himself. The pain of constantly tempering his body with Weapon Forces was obvious enough, but what it taught him a lot about was the state of his body. What was interesting about this approach was that it came with an ingenuity and understanding of his current condition that only those with Clairvoyance could match… But it also made Leonel realize that his Control Ability Index was exactly that but a step beyond. Clairvoyance was to understand what your body needed and when. But his Control Ability Index, when taken to its logical extreme, was about shifting the state of the body to suit the needs of himself at any given time. Aina was following along the path most suitable for herself, but Leonel was able to take the reins and shift courses when it was necessary. The difference between Leonel and Aina was that even before her death, her Ability Index was incredibly potent. After her death, her Ability Index became mind-numbingly strong. In just the three years Leonel had spent out, she had already progressed to her seventh Rebirth, having stepped into the Ninth Dimension while he was unconscious. Her current strength, if not for the baby, was certainly enough to strike fear, and there was no doubt that her name had come with quite a bit of terror whenever it was spoken these days. Leonel, however… well, his Ability Index, he was now realizing, was never actually his strong suit. It had only become extremely powerful over the course of his journey thanks to the techniques he created for it, and most importantly, his natural Dream Force talent. It had to be remembered that all Ability Indexes came in five stages, with the fifth being exclusive to Savants. Some people automatically awakened theirs to the fourth stage. If you were a Savant, you would automatically awaken it to the fifth. But now that Leonel thought back… his Ability Index awoke at the first stage. He had taken the C-Grade that the Ascension Empire's watch had given him to be a joke or a mistake, especially since not long afterward, his Ability Index began to display more and more powerful skills. But now that he had recontextualized everything, and especially knowing everything his grandfather would have known about the extended Dimensional Verse and beyond… How could Gervaise have made such a mistake? It could be said that if Leonel was born with his Ability Index alone, without any of his other supporting Dream Force talents, his Dream Force affinity would be classified as middling or even worse than that. However, because he had the Northern Star Lineage Factor, because he had Dream Asura Blood, because he was a Wise Star Order, because he had King's Might, because he had both Dream Asura Lineage Factors… His Dream Force talent overruled what Existence gifted him in an Ability Index, allowing it to soar, quickly moving from the first stage, to the second, and eventually the very pinnacle of the fourth. It was quite funny when he thought about it… it had actually taken him so long to figure that out mostly because of his own personal arrogance. But the question was… why was all that important now? What did it even have to do with the current situation? The reality was that Leonel could be said to be the first person in history to become a Savant by forceful means. His Dream Force talent was so high, and he pushed against the fourth stage's ceiling so hard, that he eventually broke right through. When he did so, he gained a vision that allowed him to see the other side of the coin, the opposing party to his Control Ability Index, King Alexandre's… However, this still didn't explain why this was important now. Leonel looked at the violet lights fluttering around him. For the first time, he really looked at them. All his life, there had been two forces pushing and pulling at him. One of them was a dense crimson energy that seemed to want to destroy all things… the other was a beautiful violet energy that wanted to nurture and heal. Leonel never really understood what they were. He thought the crimson energy only came from his near failed attempt to awaken his Metal Synergy Lineage Factor, while the violet came from a mutation in his King's Might. What was funny was that… he was right. That was exactly where these energies came from. Happenstance and the gambling of nature. And because of that gamble, he was able to see things, feel things, understand things that most could never dream of. From the very beginning, the strength he needed to jump off the Demoness' chess board was right in front of him, two complete variables that she had never considered before. Leonel still remembered the small light of surprise in the Demoness' eyes when she fought him in Flaura's body. Back then, he had been too enraged to even care and thought it was related to the fact he had touched upon True Destruction back then. But after those hundred grueling years, Leonel realized that this wasn't the case. He was a unique combination of Destruction and Creation forced into a single body… He had always been. And because of that, he could touch onto a concept that hadn't been seen since the beginning of time. Chaos. The improbability of life, the chance for predictions to veer so wildly off course that even the sharpest minds couldn't keep up, a complete wild card. Being this wildcard was what allowed him to break the rule of the fourth stage… And he was only getting started with breaking rules. The first was his Weapon Force Constitution. The second was his Weapon Force Innate Node, the very first of its kind. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂 The third was his now God Childe-level Ability Index. The fourth was controlling Anarchic Force to fuse with his own Forces in battle. And the fifth… Well, it was going to give his enemies a very bad time. Protections against Dream Force? What a joke.
