Dimensional Descent

Chapter 3182 More Complex

Leonel looked up toward the ceiling of the corridor. It was so tall that it might as well have been a sky itself, and above that was a glass dome that reflected the moon and the stars.

He didn't seem aware of the changes taking place in his body at all. It was more like he was just looking around, observing the world for the very first time.

His breathing was calm and even, his thoughts flowing smoothly.

Was it really freedom? Was that all he wanted? The right to be lazy when he wanted, to tease his wife when he wanted, to joke around with his brothers when he wanted...

That would be a nice life, indeed.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Maybe it was something everyone wanted deep down. No matter how ambitious, no matter how timid, no matter how pitiful, in the end, it all boiled down to these same words.

The only difference between him and others was how it manifested.

Wanting freedom was nothing new. It was almost a lackluster dream... and yet, what was always most important wasn't what the conclusion was, but rather how it had come about.

Leonel took a breath and finally seemed to turn his attention to what was above his head. He didn't seem to care about the formation of the Dharma in the slightest.

It was quite simple, at least to him. If others saw it, they would feel like it was fathomless, carrying a depth that even most Idols simply didn't have. And more shockingly than that... it was the second Dharma that Leonel had formed.

It wasn't unheard of to have more than one Dharma. The hard rule for Idols was only for exactly that, Idols. There were other geniuses who would try to form multiple Dharmas and then fuse them into an Idol when they were ready.

But the problem with Leonel's Dharma was that it was already a fusion of

several Dharmas... and yet it was still just a Dharma.

The formation of a second Dharma was already something only 10% of people with a Dharma in the first place could accomplish.

To put that matter into perspective, saying that only 1% of people who reached the Ninth Dimension could form a Dharma was a fast underestimation of the difficulty.

It was actually more accurate to say that only 1% of people who reached the Ninth Dimension could form a Life Realm Force.

And further than that, only 1% of people who could successfully form a Life State Force could ever form a Creation State Force.

Of that 1%, only another 1% of that could form a Middle Creation State Force, and that pattern continued until barely 0.1% of those who formed Peak Creation State Forces could ever form a Dharma.

By this point, the percentage was so small that it was unfathomable.

It could be said, then, that a leap to 10%, while seemingly large, when the context was taken into consideration, was only natural.

Still, there was an explanation for why only 0.1% of Peak Creation State users could form Dharmas, but 10% of Dharma formers could create a second, and that was because the vast majority of Idols were formed from two or more Dharmas.

Those that stepped into the Dharma Realms already had a strong idea of what they wanted their Idol to be, so they had already made all of the necessary preparations.

It could be said, then, that given that context, the 10% figure was even more shocking than the 0.1% figure. To be prepared, a clear genius, and yet still fail at such a rate was astonishing.

The number of those that could form three Dharmas, though, was shockingly low. It was such a low number, in fact, that across all of Existence, there were only a few hundred people.

As for those that created four, there were only a handful. Not even one dozen.

This was why Leonel's Dharma was such an anomaly.

His first Dharma, his Crown, was technically only constructed from one Force... but was it?

Violet Force was a self-creation that took into account several Sovereignties and Forces into one. His Dream Force, Vital Star Force, his Creation Sovereignties... the list felt endless.

It might look like a single Dharma, but it was the culmination of many. After all, it too had once been an Idol that Leonel forcefully suppressed into a

Dharma.

However, for his second Dharma, it was even more obvious. That was because this Dharma hadn't originally been an Idol, so it wasn't nearly as cohesive. As a result, there were several obvious standouts within.

His first Dharma looked like a Crown, but this one looked like a Royal Crest.

At the center of it, there was a bow drawing a spear to be loosed. They were surrounded by a foundation of violet mythical creatures that wrapped around them and seemed to fuse into their bodies, strengthening them. Then, surrounding them, there was a gorgeous array of violet lotuses, fluttering violet butterflies, and motes of violet light.

Then, surrounding it in a border, there was a solid barrier of red and gold, accenting and offsetting the dense purple and mauve colors.

Just at a single glance, one could see that it incorporated both Spear and Bow Force into a single Dharma. That was already something that should be near impossible, even for an Idol.

It wasn't the first time someone had mastered two Weapon Forces to this

extent, but they would normally either choose one to abandon the other, or they would choose a different foundation for their Idol and Dharma so that

they could continue to use both.

Leonel, however... seemed to skirt these rules entirely.

But it only got worse when you looked deeper. The border of red and gold was none other than his Scarlet Star Force Innate Node. Then, deep within, the contrasts of his Creation and Destruction Sovereignty layered themselves in as a foundation.

This Dharma... it was more complex than most Idols in existence.
