Everyone could understand that.
"Then let me ask you..."
Mobius raised her little hand and lightly twirled a strand of hair around her index finger, playing with it. She looked as if she were being very casual.
"How strong are you now?"
She hadn't forgotten, you know~
That guy Hen had said it before.
The Ninth Herrscher's simulated black hole had been directly answered by Little Griseo summoning Mister Knight and driving his sword down, slicing it into a powerless nobody on the spot.
Even Kevin, currently the strongest, couldn't reach that level of power. She really wanted to know just how far Little Griseo had advanced and what she was capable of.
Little Griseo thought for a moment, then answered with complete bluntness.
"With my full-powered strike, I can only turn Earth into ashes."
"So... I suppose that counts as planet-destroying level? Something like that?"
"..."
She was pondering it herself.
I should still be growing, right?
After all, a level of existence was a level of existence. It was a throne, a symbol.
Though it was incomparably exalted.
But!
How much actual power one possessed still depended on oneself.
For example.
In Dragon Ball...
The Kais and Gods of Destruction were beings of equal standing.
But the Kais' combat power was astonishingly pathetic.
It was nowhere near the Gods of Destruction's.
Higher-dimensional states were incredibly strange.
No matter how high a dimension you were in.
As long as it was higher than the world you currently occupied.
You were the boss.
And under such circumstances!
That world could be looked down upon, manipulated, and toyed with at will.
It might even be utterly unable to resist.
The stronger a world was, the higher its dimensional index.
Naturally, it was also harder to manipulate and operate.
This was itself one of the laws of the great cosmos.
It was likewise a balancing of authority and power.
Still, generally speaking...
If you had enough power but insufficient authority, it didn't matter. You could still force your way through with sheer strength.
If you had enough authority but insufficient power, that was fine too. At the very least, compared with having no authority, equal power would let you accomplish more.
To be honest.
This was somewhat like the differences between the various emperors in human society.
They were all emperors.
Some emperors couldn't even order ordinary people around. They were mere figureheads and might even be persecuted.
But other emperors, even when they were on their deathbeds and about to die, could still intimidate all their ministers and command awe without raising their voices.
Little Griseo used the dimensional index to represent the level of higher-dimensional existence.
There was a reason for that.
It was like mathematical modeling.
Each column represented one dimension.
Every additional column meant one more dimension.
It seemed like nothing more than adding a simple column of data.
But if you generated a model directly.
Then with every additional layer, it naturally became more and more complex.
Thus!
Every time the dimensional index rose by even a little, the amount of information grew explosively.
Every tiny increase widened the gap into a chasm.
If you really had to put it into words...
Which was more important, authority or power?
Authority, of course.
You could have power without necessarily being able to obtain authority.
But if you had authority, you would definitely have a way to acquire power.
Look.
It was actually the same in human society!
