Dimensional Descent

Anya unleashed a roar that filled the skies. Her body expanding, the light of the Twelve Pointed Star radiating from the depths of her white eyes.

She drew in size, doubling her height and then doubling it again. Soon, she stood at over six meters tall, but her proportions seemed to still be the exact same... the change to her features, however, was a different matter entirely.

Two pairs of wings appeared on her back, one set of black and another of white. White horns twisting with black fog grew from her forehead, and tendrils of light shattered her original scythe to form one much larger.

SHIIIIING!

A curved blade broke free from the light, sending the golden white motes shattering to the ground below like fine bits of glass.

PA. PA. PA.

One after another, golden eyes appeared across the blade. But its body seemed wrapped in a thick black leather.

Anyone who had experience with the Void Beast and Infinity Beast realized what they were seeing instantly.

Somehow, Anya had embodied them both, concentrating them into her scythe and causing her power to multiply several times over.

The more Anya’s aura soared, the deeper Aina’s frown became. Her confidence in defeating her was plummeting by the moment.

The issue wasn’t her personal power. If Aina had to, she felt that she could at least hold on for a while. But the problem was that she wasn’t confident in protecting her children at the same time.

For the first time since their birth, Aina began to wonder if she had made a mistake.

If she could just complete her last three Rebirths, she felt that she would be able to do it all. But right now, she had the comprehension, but not the foundation necessary to make the best use of it.

Aina looked up into the skies and felt a radiant warmth coming from above. It was filled with confidence and an undeniable will.

She could barely see her husband’s back with how fast he was moving, but she still found herself calming down.

DENG. DENG. DENG.

One after another, Leonel’s brothers, Noah, the Heirs of the Morales, all landed

around her, facing off against the large monster that Aina had become.

Indeed... there was a reason her husband wasn’t to become a King. It was for the sake of building a better future for them all.

They didn’t just have to rely on themselves. They would have the help of those around them as well.

James grinned. ”Don’t worry, we can hold off until the show-off is finished with whatever the hell he’s doing up there. Just focus on protecting the kiddos.”

”Mommy, who’s he?” Leah asked.

”Kid, learn my name well. I’m your favorite Uncle James.”

”Why would you be the favorite?” Raj snapped. ”You two were here flirting with the same girl who wants to kill us all now. What kind of example are you setting?”

Raj kneeled down to Leah and Leo’s level and opened a palm. Diamond spiraled around his palm, forming a beautiful, sparkling lotus. He handed it to Leah.

Leah’s eyes brightened as she took it in two hands. Her large golden eyes blinked with giddy happiness, pulling at the flower as though to check how durable it was.

Raj’s hand flashed again and this time a big sword the length of Leo’s body formed.

”Shh,” he pressed a finger to his lips. ”Don’t tell your dad I gave you this. If he finds it, just tell him your favorite Uncle Raj was messing around and I’ll give you another one later.”

Leo’s eyes brightened as well and he almost tipped over taking the big sword. But the wide grin on his little chubby face practically lit up the world.

”There has to be some sort of rule against this.” James protested. It wasn’t his fault he couldn’t conjure things up out of thin air.

Plus, he was poor. It was too embarrassing if the only things he could give the kids were things their father had given him.

Well, he was actually more than shameless enough to do it. The main issue was that the moment one of these guys exposed him, he would be finished.

”Sounds like a skill issue.” Raj said with a grin, proudly taking a kiss on the cheek from Leah and a bear hug from Leo.

Aina smiled at the interaction between her kids and her husband’s friends.

All of them hadn’t started with the best relationship. In fact, a long while back, it could be said that they all hated her.

But then again... so too had her friends hated Leonel.

Since then, they had grown a lot and it could be said that they were no different from one big family now.

Aina looked up toward the battle in the skies again and exhaled a breath.

Not once did she seem to bother with the Northern Star looming over the skies.

As far as she was concerned, even if the world came to an end... she had tasted the happiness she had always wanted.

These last three years with her children and her husband had been more than she could have ever asked for.

Taking a knee, she helped her children fix off the wrinkles in their clothing and the messiness of their hair after being ruffled by so many hands.

She smiled a bright smile.

”Are we going to be okay, mom?” Leo asked, seemingly sensing that something was

off.

Leah’s large eyes began to brim with unshed tears, the worries of her brother seemingly alerting her to something as well.

Aina’s smile didn’t so much as waver.

”Do you see that?” She asked, pointing up to their father’s battle high above.

The two shook their heads. They had been able to watch Leonel’s battles until now, but it seemed that he had lost the bandwidth to simplify things for them. It could only

mean that he had truly gotten serious.

Aina’s smile deepened. ”But do you feel it?”

The twins looked at one another, blinking. For some reason... they understood exactly what their mother meant.
