Leonel gave himself three days. Being caught off guard didn't mean that he had to completely fly in blind.

He arranged everything he could first, giving Anastasia an action plan for moving forward. He hoped that by the time he returned from the Idol Battlefield, he would already be at a point where he would have a real army to lead.

With Anastasia's abilities, he believed that it would happen.

He also couldn't leave his brothers behind, nor his Generals. Despite how dangerous the Idol Battlefield would be, especially while they were still working on returning to the Ninth Dimension after being suppressed back down to the Third, it was a necessary danger.

Leonel wouldn't be able to do what came in the future alone. If not for the fact Aina was pregnant, he would take her along as well. The best way for his wife to protect herself would be to be strong as well.

However... while he was taking everyone along, Leonel was already prepared for the worst-case

scenario.

At the end of the day, none of this would matter in the slightest unless he, himself, was strong enough.

Only then would he be able to hold up the skies with a palm and suppress his enemies with another...

Only then would his wife and child be able to live out the life of leisure and happiness he wanted for them.

After everything was done, Leonel looked up into the skies and then suddenly vanished.

When he appeared again, he was standing on the bottom of a set of wide steps. It was none other than the path to the Ascension Palace.

He walked up the steps, but for some reason, this time, the guards didn't stop him.

The truth was that they couldn't even see him.

His Dream Force had wrapped all the way around him, and his body was in a state where he existed, and where their senses saw, were displaced through time.

Essentially, they could only see the location Leonel was standing in as it was a few seconds ago. So, they missed Leonel entirely.

Leonel called this new ability Dream Displacement. It was a combination of his Control Ability Index and its opposite... Though, it was only possible thanks to the small incorporation of Time Force into his Dream Force.

He strolled up and through the completely oblivious guards and entered the palace as though nothing at all had happened.

Soon, he was standing before a familiar barrier. He remembered this barrier well. It was one that, even with all his efforts, he couldn't even begin to deal with.

Even now, he had no ability to forcefully destroy it. His grandfather was truly a powerhouse amongst powerhouses.

However... last time, the reason he succeeded in saving his grandmother was because he just barely managed to get a small strand of energy through.

And this time... he could do that with even greater ease.

Ile suddenly struck out with a palm. Afterimages layered through the air and then...

DONG!

The sound of a chime practically echoed through the entire palace.

Gervaise looked up from his meditation and his wife seemed to notice something as well. However, while he frowned, she just chuckled.

Gervaise waved a hand and soon Leonel was standing right before him. He seemed curious about how Leonel had managed to make it through his guards, only for his eyes to narrow.

This grandson of his truly improved by leaps and bounds. Every time he saw him, he had already taken another huge step forward in his strength and power.

That said, Gervaise wasn't surprised.

He had already said it back when Velasco died. Neither father nor son could be measured by common sense. And if he took a step back...

He, as his grandfather, couldn't be measured by common sense either.

"Why have you come today?" Gervaise asked, in a rare showing of actually speaking first. Leonel's grandmother noticed this as well and couldn't help but give her husband a second look before looking at her grandson. She smiled, a light of pride in her eyes as though she was happy to see this scene... which was odd considering such a scene also meant that the clash between the two was only coming sooner.

"I plan to trigger the Idol Battlefield now. I wanted to tell you in advance!

Gervaise's eyes narrowed.

Leonel was probably the only person in the world who dared to say such a thing.

Everyone else was just patiently waiting for the Idol Battlefield to descend, but he said that he could make it come down now.

Gervaise was intelligent, more intelligent than most could even fathom. He already understood why Leonel would want to do such a dangerous thing.

He stared at his grandson for a long while before waving a hand.

"Here!"

The green light was fast. So fast that the last time Leonel came here, he would have had no choice but to allow it to shatter his head even if his senses could keep up.

But this time, he simply just clasped his fingers down, catching it smoothly.

Leonel rotated the object in his hand before he realized that it was something that could only be analyzed with Dream Force.

When he did, he found an astonishing amount of information within.

"Your Life Tablet won't have much information about the Idol Battlefield within. This will," Gervaise

said casually.

Leonel pulled his mind out of the item. "This is more than just a little bit. It looks like you're targeting the Idol Battlefield as well?'

"Maybe in the past. But I simply don't need it now!"

This time, it was Leonel's turn to narrow his eyes.

Just how strong was his grandfather that he snubbed his nose at the Idol Battlefield? It seemed that

he had still underestimated the old man.

However, in the end, he chuckled.

He turned and walked over to give his grandmother a hug, feeling her own belly for a bit before leaving with confident strides.

He never considered failure for a moment.
