Dimensional Descent Chapter 3116 Anastasia (2)

Chapter 3116 Anastasia (2)

When Leonel refined his Incomplete Worlds, he didn't change their Laws; he understood them. Well, at least he hadn't changed their Laws away from what came naturally to them. It could technically be said that what he had done in the Sea God World could count as changing the Laws, but in reality, he was just helping the world reach its fullest potential, which was different from fundamentally changing its laws. The Minerva, though, once again took it even a step further than he did. They stripped down the laws of the world and reconstructed their own. Their goals could be summarized in a few lines. First, they wanted to create a World Spirit whose intelligence could be used for their own purposes. No matter how powerful the Dream Force of a humanoid, it would never be able to match up to the raw computational ability of a World Spirit. If they could have a World Spirit that could offload much of the computational rigor of constructing complex Crafts, they would be able to take their creations to a whole other level. And second, they wanted a World Spirit that would disregard the health and safety of a world if it meant helping them to achieve their goals. The first goal required giving the World Spirit a "personality." Only like this would it be able to think for itself and make suggestions. While the second goal, when paired with the first, would create a true monster. Leonel couldn't help but think that taking such an approach was even more dangerous than those AI movies back on Earth. If you gave a World Spirit such power and it awakened a personality that was dangerous rather than helpful, you would truly be out of luck. World Spirits were so heavily regulated by Existence because if they weren't, the Pluto wouldn't even have a chance of sitting as the most powerful Race in Existence. World Spirits with their own thoughts, feelings, and emotions would be so far and away the most superior of all the Races that everyone else would only be capable of being enslaved to them. And maybe this worry was part of what ended up holding the Minerva back from reaching their fullest potential. At first, Leonel had thought that maybe the Minerva were just incompetent. But the more he and Aina analyzed things, the more respect they came to gain for the Minerva and the more they realized that this Race might just truly want to have their cake and eat it too. They didn't just want to create a super weapon. They wanted to create a super weapon that they could control. As such, keeping Anastasia a bit dull and naive was precisely what they had likely wanted. Unfortunately, taking this approach had also led to their Segmented Cube not being able to reach its fullest potential. Even so, Leonel had no choice but to respect it… and be impressed on top of that. Did he hate them for what they had done to Anastasia? Of course. Arguably, this was even worse than what he had thought happened before. Before, he just blamed them for their incompetence. But now, he was fairly certain that they had turned Anastasia into a puppet on purpose, which was even more blood-boiling even if he understood why they had to take such measures. The question, then… was how do they fix all of this? And the short of the answer was to change the world. However, this was easier said than done for several reasons. First, they lacked the power. Aina was still pregnant and unwilling to divert her energy to other things for even a moment. Even the blood she used to concoct these days didn't come from her at all. And even if she was at 100%, her Dream Force wasn't nearly as deep as Leonel's. As for Leonel, he wasn't to the point of being able to do something so exaggerated just yet. Second, if they relied on directing Anastasia to do it, not only could things go terribly wrong, but the failsafes the Minerva had baked into the Segmented Cube to keep her in check would also activate. At that point, the entire Segmented Cube might self-destruct and leave them out of luck again. It was on the first day that the couple had thought of the solution. Leonel's Destruction World. The Destruction World was Leonel's own to begin with. He had, quite literally, built it from scratch, and it was a highly unique existence as a result of that. For all intents and purposes… He was the Regulator of it. Using it as a foundation, he would be able to not only use its Destruction capabilities to erode the laws of Anastasia's world that he didn't like, but he would even be able to form a bridge between the two and maybe benefit from the existence of this world as well. At that point, he would have two worlds free of Regulators, one for Destruction… and the other for Creation. The trouble was that this was just the simple explanation. The details of this matter had kept them in this room for an entire month for a reason… But now they were ready. The two called Anastasia into their room, and while she was confused, they comforted her. "Soon, you'll be free," Leonel said with a smile. "Just try not to resist, and if you feel anything about to happen to your world, let us know." Anastasia blinked, still confused. Her large eyes seemed almost watery in this light, exuding an innocence that belied her true age. But in the end, if she didn't trust Leonel and Aina… who would she trust? Leonel and Aina looked toward one another and nodded. Anastasia's world suddenly began to shake. …
Nilrem looked up when things began, and he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. What was that snot-nosed brat up to now? He took a step and began to roam around the world, analyzing the changes that occurred over the next few days. But the more he observed, the more the shock in his heart solidified.
