720 Chapter 717
After the fourth Leon, things proceeded in many ways. Only a few things repeated themselves time and time again. Those were: how Leon met Ilyana, the fact that the holy sword was sealed, and that Tyrselle didn't try to fool him anymore. Leon received a few notifications here and there, but overall, he already obtained all the knowledge and skills that he had obtained in the past.
Leon thought he would feel wiser and more mature after watching all of that, but that never happened. Those memories were probably the memories that Ilyana managed to savage since Leon died several times while fighting against Tyrselle… even though they fought together, her power was absolute. Just like she said, old tricks wouldn't work twice on her. After watching the twelve lives that he had lived… Leon finally returned to reality.
When Leon woke up, he saw himself back in Ilyana's world. The place was semi-destroyed, but it wasn't abandoned. Leon could see thousands of inorganic monsters around, and when he used Mana Dominion, he confirmed that there were trillions of monsters there… all of them were monsters bound to Ilyana's Mana Link.
"Well, now…" Leon crossed his arms and then closed his eyes." What should I do?"
Leon had a few ideas as to how to defeat Tyrselle once and for all, but all those ideas relied on using Alternative Future Possession. He was already tired of sacrificing his lifespan, so he wanted to do something else. Besides, this time he didn't want to leave Ilyana and their kids. Leon couldn't let himself be defeated, nor could he sacrifice everything to win against Tyrselle. This time, he would make sure to survive until they reach the seventh stage of the assimilation. That way, perhaps they would be able to overcome the downsides of time manipulation together.
After a while, Leon finally noticed that his body wasn't heavy. He got many times more powerful than before after watching his past lives, but his body was weakened in Ilyana's world. The reason was simple; the world wasn't on the third stage of assimilation anymore. That massive number of monsters was the proof of that. The world was probably on the sixth stage of the assimilation… and that was what gave Leon a new idea.
"Hehe, this will be interesting," Leon smirked.
Although Leon got a lot more skills, jobs and classes, he didn't have access to a crazy amount of mana like Ilyana has. He also didn't have the time to summon monsters and use Mana Link on all of them. Leon could feel Ilyana and Tyrselle's mana clashing against each other even from that distance, after all. He had to do something before their fight destroys the whole universe.

After concentrating for a few seconds, Leon used Appraisal while looking at the ground and then confirmed his hypothesis. The system had also recognized planets as living beings. Still, Leon frowned while looking at those statuses. It was simply insane and very weird. Why did the numbers stop at that? Why didn't they reach seven trillion? Was it because there was a trigger to cause that? Leon lived the equivalent of almost one hundred thousand years, considering all the lives he had when Ilyana reset time. Still, he couldn't understand even that yet. However, if he didn't know something, he could always learn. As long as he exists, Leon could always find the answers he was looking for.
Leon touched the ground with both hands and then tried to activate Mana Link. If that planet was a living being, then something like that was supposed to be possible. However, the skill he failed.
"Not good enough, huh," Leon frowned. "Let's try to use my best talent… the power to use brute force."
Leon forced his mana to envelop the whole surface of that planet. After that, he activated Mana Link again. The skill not only activated this time… it evolved.
Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Absolute Mana Link.
You obtained 01 status point.
…
Congratulations! The skill Summon Absolute Mana Link has reached the max level.
You obtained 01 status point.
It was weird, but aside from his own mana pool, Leon felt that he could easily control that planet's mana. However, even though the skill was useful, Leon knew that it wasn't wise to use the mana without any thoughts. First, he checked the limits of it. After a while, Leon confirmed that the planet could recover a little more than eleven billion of mana points per second… no wonder Ilyana said that planets couldn't get destroyed after a certain point. With that amount of mana, the planets would be able to repair itself easily.
"As I thought…" Leon rubbed his chin. "No matter, with this much mana, I can create hundreds of replicas. Let's make them use Absolute Mana Link in all the planets they can find using dungeons as fast as possible."
Although Leon recovered his powers from the past, he only managed to summon one hundred replicas. After doing that, his body got paralyzed… the amount of mana he used had been much more than his body had used, after all. Even though he had that much power, his body couldn't easily endure it.
"Crap… this is the worse," Leon blinked several times since he felt that his head was spinning. "I don't have any other choice… better make all my replicas use as much mana as possible while they look for planets that have mana. That way, my body will get used to it faster as well."
