Chapter 901: Second Gate
The elders were frozen in shock.
One would think that this was because of some overwhelming phenomena, maybe some flashing lights or a rare occurrence not seen in thousands of years. But, this couldn't' have been further from the truth.
The reality could be described in a single word: nothing.
That was right, nothing was happening. The flashing lights had dimmed, Leonel's aura had vanished, and the tablet had returned to its previous state. In fact, the elders were so speechless by this change that five minutes later, when yet another Morales family member began making a breakthrough, none of them even turned their heads in that direction.
"This..."
"... That's it?"
These elders weren't fools. The markers for failure were not there. At the same time, the change in Leonel's name couldn't have been clearer—he had succeeded. The issue was... Why the hell was it so fast?
How long had it been since he started his breakthrough? A minute? Less than that? What the hell was going on?
If he wasn't a madman, then what was he?
Despite the words of the elder, though, the group of old men and women suddenly began to laugh. They laughed so heartily that the hidden world of the Morales family began to tremble.
A madman? Who of the Morales family wasn't exactly that?

Contrary to what the elders thought, Leonel sat in silent meditation as though his body wasn't being carved into piece by piece.
Before, this pain had truly been unbearable for him. But now, he had Dream Sense which allowed him to split his sensory perception between several minds. At this moment, Leonel had used a thousand of his more than million minds to dull the pain by that factor.
Of course, he could have used even more minds to make it all almost negligible, but he did not do so. Something about dulling his pain entirely made it feel like he was losing a piece of his humanity. It was a rare emotional decision for someone like Leonel who usually didn't care for such things.
That said, there was another reason as well. Leonel had turned his other minds toward observing each and ever aspect of his body and the changes it was undergoing. He wanted to see what changed now that he was entering the next level of his Metal Body, how the organ system of Runes evolved, and how it might synergize, suppress or coexist with the other Lineage Factors of his body.
Leonel had hardly realized just how easy it had been for him to open the Second Gate. But, this obviously wasn't without reason. Elder Mila was also correct in assuming that he didn't have the full picture and it could be said that there were two main reasons.
The first was that Leonel had formed Six Stars before even stepping into the Fifth Dimension. His body had been purged of its impurities to the point he was practically like a newborn baby who had immediately stepped into such a height.
However, the second reason might be even more important. Not only did Leonel receive the cleansing of six Stars, but he had also been baptized by Sixth Dimensional Cleansing Waters. Let alone the Second Gate, if it wasn't for the fact he had yet to bring his Metal Body to Tier 9 once again, he could have likely opened even the Third Gate now!
