Chapter 3065 Breakthrough
"HAHAHA!" Leonel laughed so hard that tears came from his eyes. All this time, he had yet to shed a single tear. But it seemed that hearing his grandmother"s voice was all that was needed for him to be pushed over the edge. He rushed forward to check on her, but then unfortunately remembered that he didn"t have any arms. He looked ridiculous right now, like a shriveled up corpse. "Hey, old man, shouldn"t you be…" Leonel barely got these words out before he directly fainted. "Little Lion? Little Lion?" Roesia began to call out weakly, feeling that something was wrong. She pulled herself up, struggling to stand from the swirl of energy that Leonel had been carrying her in. At that moment, the laws of the world swarmed her, gathering up like a casting of [Instant Recovery]. b.u.t.terflies, spinning lilies, and motes of golden light fluttered around her, pouring into her body as though she was Existence"s favorite child. And that she was. The strength of a Northern Star Order couldn"t be measured by normal common sense. She didn"t even have limits to her use of [Instant Recovery], nor did she even have to cast it personally in the first place. The moment the world sensed that she was injured, it would act. The only reason it hadn"t was because the impending collapse of her Idol had isolated her from the rest of the world. However, Leonel"s words had managed to pull her back from such a fate, and now she was looking for her grandson. The more she moved, the stronger her body became and soon she was already back to over 50% health and her vision had recovered as well. She was finally able to turn over and see Leonel"s state. Her heart leapt into her throat and all the color drained from her face. "Leonel!" Roesia gasped in horror and finally broke free of Leonel"s Edicts, rus.h.i.+ng to his side. She picked him up, tears streaking down her face. Although she hadn"t been conscious, seeing Leonel like this made her put most of the puzzle pieces together even without Gervaise saying anything. Never would she have expected that Leonel would be willing to go so far for her. Although she didn"t think that their relations.h.i.+p was poor to the point that Leonel would just stand by and watch her die, there was a difference between that and a world like this one where he practically gave up everything he had. He could have died. No… he was dying. Roesia pressed a hand against Leonel"s chest and was startled by the heartbeat she felt. Still, she pressed on, pouring much of the healing that was coming toward her to him. It could be said that Roesia was the greatest healer of the Fawkes Empire. Or rather, she was probably the greatest healer even when the entire G.o.d Realm was taken into account. It was a shame that this greatest healer had to watch so much of her family die before she did, and ironically, the collapse of her Idol was practically the only way she could die. With her const.i.tution, even the slightest nick was immediately healed by the world around her. This was the power of a Wise Star Order and it was something that couldn"t be measured by normal means at all. Now, all that care and affection Existence and the Northern Star had for her, was currently being poured in Leonel. At a speed visible to the naked eye, Leonel"s shriveled up body began to regain its vitality. His arms grew back, his skin regained its elasticity, and finally there was real blood flowing through his veins now instead of the baby powder that had been pa.s.sing through him before. It took much longer than was described, but eventually, Leonel"s heartbeat began to echo once again, strong and firm. DUDOOM. DUDOOM. Leonel"s Weapon Forces surged, entering the Higher Creation State in one fell swoop. It seemed that he was so injured before that he couldn"t even withstand such a breakthrough… which was honestly odd, even to Gervaise and Roesia who had a great deal of experience themselves. But then it became clear to them why this was and their eyes couldn"t help but widen in shock. Leonel had somehow tied his Weapon Force comprehension directly to his body, when one got stronger, so too did the other. The reason he hadn"t broken through earlier despite his Weapon Forces growing stronger was because his body was too weakened to withstand it and had become a bottleneck as a result. But now that he was healed, those limitations had been shed away and there was now a beautiful cadence resonating from the depths of his heart. The husband and wife pair looked toward one another and seemed to have reached the same conclusion. This was an unprecedented path, one that they had never seen before. Roesia cradled her grandson in her arms, a bright smile on her face that she couldn"t seem to wipe off. Did she still feel guilt about not caring enough about her other grandchildren? She did, that was inevitable. It was just the kind of person that she was. However, that guilt was overridden by her happiness right now. Her guilt toward Leonel had been the greatest weight on her chest for many years now. She had always thought that there was a dividing line between herself and Leonel, one that could never be undone. But Leonel"s actions today made her heart bloom like flowers. She just wanted to pamper and spoil the little man in her arms although
he wasn"t nearly so little anymore. She rubbed her belly, sensing if her new child was still okay. After that, she completely relaxed. Maybe this son or daughter would face the same fate as all the rest, maybe not… However, she felt that it was still her duty to do her best. "Gervy…" Only Roesia could get away with calling the Emperor such a thing. "… I don"t want to have anymore children after this."
