The Quasi Life State was worth so much more to Leonel. Because of his Sovereignty, it was as good as a true Life State. It was akin to two halves coming together to make a whole.
According to what El'Rion had said back then, Sovereignty was the representation of the Life State. It allowed much lower level Forces to display some of the strength of the Life State ahead of time.
It could also be said that a Force that was both in the Life State and maintained a Sovereign air was on an entirely different level than both. The truest strength of Sovereignty wouldn't be seen until one entered the Life State and maintained it.
Thanks to this, Leonel skipped over Tier Four entirely and gained Tier Five strength, catching up with the foundation of the Owlans. It had not even been a quarter of the day, but he didn't feel complacent at all.
