n3113 Flexibility
nThere were a shocking number of changes in Leonel’s body, so much so that it was difficult to wrap his head around them all even though he had been paying attention for every second of it.
nThe truth was that many of what he had noted first were just the largest changes. But there were many smaller ones, things he assumed must have been like fringe techniques or abilities of his previous Dimensional Methods that weren’t fully compatible with his current self, but were still worthy of being a part of his process at least in part nonetheless.
nHowever, these fringe changes to his body were still important, forming a network and a foundation that allowed the rest of him to function properly.
nWhat made Leonel truly curious, though, was how Final Destruction and Dimensional Cleanse fit into all of this.
nFrom what he understood, no matter which iteration he was talking about, he would undoubtedly use these two methods.
nHowever, they were also incredibly flexible nonetheless. When he formed his Innate Node, he didn’t experience any rejection from them at all.
nSince things had reached this point, Leonel decided to start with step one and just work his way forward.
nHis Metal Body… what did it mean to absorb Star Force?
nLeonel knew well, though it hadn’t always started off that way.
nStar Force was the engine that made the entire universe go. Without Star Force, there would be nothing.
nEven as a mortal of Earth, Leonel had a great understanding of this. After all, without the sun, there would be no “Earth” in the first place. It would just be a meaningless blob of rock in the middle of nowhere.
nIt was because of this uniqueness that Star Force often seemed to just be an addition to already powerful Forces. There were many Forces that seemed to have Star Force tacked onto the end of it as though it was a careless addition. But the reality was that having Star Force as a part of a Force gave it its own driving power. Forces with Star Force, rather than relying on others, could make their own impact on the world and it was why such Forces tended to have hidden characters to them that transcended just the element they represented alone.
nScarlet Star Force, for example, was Creation at an Extreme.
nLeonel had a theory that it wasn’t the only powerful Star Force-infused element that had such a hidden history to it. He bet that they all did.
nThis wasn’t the first time Leonel had made use of the power of Star Force, either. The moment he realized the kind of boosting power it had, he created a technique that was with him even to this day.
nStar Fusion.
nThe shocking thing about this technique was that Leonel had never really had to make many changes to it, and it was one of the few things that had followed him along in his journey without being left behind.
nAnd yet…
nHe was still only using the technique to a minuscule level compared to its true potential.
nFor one, he was relying on Vital Star Force, a Star Force that he didn’t really have much affinity with in the first place, and one he wouldn’t have even learned had his future self not gone to find a path to allow him to save his wife.
nHowever, now, Leonel would be able to directly absorb Vital Star Force. As a result, his affinity for Vital Star Force would hit an absolute peak and he would be capable of using Star Fusion to an entirely new level.
nBut even that was still just the surface because that wouldn’t change much. He would still only be using the technique at only a small corner of its true potential.
nAnd that was where the power of this method came into play.
nStar Force… It was the power of the universe… and with this method, Leonel could use it to directly power his Ability Indexes, increasing their power several fold.
nStar Force was endlessly versatile and it was the only Force that could be freely added to any other, but there was also no one with a “Star Force” affinity by the same token.
nIt seemed that in this timeline, Leonel figured out why that was, and the reasons were ironically similar to why Weapon Force Innate Nodes didn’t exist.
nThe moment he had this thought, he realized why these two paths synergized so well.
nHis Innate Node would provide him a large amount of control over the Spear and Bow Forces of the world, and his Star Force would allow him to spike that advantage, fueling it to another level…
nAnd then came Star Fusion.
nThe reason Leonel liked using the Brazinger family Heirloom so much was because it could super-charge his control over the world, making his words carry far more weight.
nBut now… Leonel could do that directly himself without the need to rely on an external item in the first place.
nAnd if he added Star Fusion on top of that, especially Star Fusion: King’s Might…
nHe might well and truly become a God without even having formed his Dharma in the first place, let alone his Idol.
nAnd all of that was still just the first aspect of his new changes and it only touched upon one life, a life where he had taken Star Fusion and created a foundation that stood above the world.
nThe next aspect was a bit more complex, or a lot simpler depending on the way he looked at it.
nBecause of the change to his Metal Body, his Divine Armor technique would likewise have to change. However, because of the added flexibility, it was able to finally perfectly incorporate the other aspects of the Morales Lineage Factor.
nThis meant that for the first time, his Divine Armor would be able to take full advantage of not only Ores… but Force Herbs and Flames alike…
nAll thanks to the Flexibility of Star Force.
