In fact, Astra could see and perceive the changes in the mana around him thanks to his mental strength and his Origin Eyes.
So, if he was attentive, he might have noticed Sebastian and not been caught off guard.
But he wasn't in the habit of doing it all the time, thinking it was tedious. Besides, he felt very safe at home, so he didn't need to.
But he still felt a little embarrassed that everyone was noticing.
This could be clearly seen on his face, slightly flushed with embarrassment.
But as if it were divine aid, a deep voice with a cheerful tone resounded in the room:
"How are my dear grandchildren? HAHAHA"
It was the voice of their grandfather Henry.
"Old man, shut up. My ears hurt from your screams."
Then a female voice with a hint of complaint accompanied their grandfather's.
It was Kassandra, their grandmother.
They both entered the room, but Astra could tell they were also trying to suppress their smiles.
It was obvious their little scene had been captured by them as well. Who knew how long ago they arrived?
"Dad, Mom." William, Amelia, and Stella stood up from their chairs to greet them with a slight bow.
Following their parents, all the children, including Astra, stood up and also greeted them:
"Grandpa, Grandma. Welcome." They said almost in unison.
The whole scene seemed to convey great respect for them.
But this didn't last long, because Kassandra's figure blurred and appeared immediately behind William.
As if sensing something, William was about to react, but the forces were so uneven that he couldn't do so in time.
Then he was hit with a slap on the back of the head.
He wanted to curse out loud, but when he saw it was his mother, he could only restrain himself and say with a pout,
"Ouch! Mom, why are you hitting me?"
"What's wrong, you stupid boy? I told you not to make such silly greetings. You're becoming more and more like those decrepit old men in the palace."
"But I'm not a child anymore, Mom…" Before William could finish, Kasandra interrupted him:
"What? Are you trying to contradict me?"
"It seems the position of head of the family has made you grow too big."
"No, no. It's okay, Mom."
"How was your trip?" William asked excitedly, trying to change the subject.
"Well, this time your father and I encountered a small myth-level dragon beast, so we brought back some dragon meat to eat."
"We already left it in the kitchen, and it will be served on the table soon."
This conversation didn't escape the attention of the others.
If he were an outsider listening to her, he would be shocked by how they treated the myth-level beast as if it were something unimportant.
But those present were already used to this sort of thing.
After all, Kassandra was one of the strongest people in the world.
She was known by many names, the most famous being The Valkyrie and The Lioness of Lysandria.
However, this small talk between mother and son, where Kassandra had an indifferent attitude toward his great deeds, was quite normal when she returned.
That didn't stop the action of the blow from provoking a few laughs among those present.
On the other hand, Astra was quite grateful to his grandmother for directing everyone's attention to his father.
Thank you, Father. I owe you one, Astra thought.
Although Astra had seen his grandmother's statuses before and had been more than awestruck on those occasions,
That didn't stop him from wanting to see it again.
Then a screen appeared before him.
[Name: Kassandra Lionheart

Profession: Warrior/Mage/Rune Warrior
Cultivation Level: Peak Saint
Actual Combat Level: Intermediate Demigod
Physique: Chaotic Body
Talent: Intermediate Supreme
Affinity: Chaos

Skills: Gate of Chaos (Divine-level), Dark Hell (Divine-level), Wandering Arsenal (Divine-level) … (see more)
Artifacts: World-Destroying Spear (Divine-level), Netherflame Blade (High Legendary) … (see more)]
Astra believed that no one other than himself knew his grandmother's strength.
After all, among geniuses, it's normal to see some who can leapfrog through levels.
What's more, everyone in Astra's family could do it after undergoing family training, even many of the staff working at the mansion.
But his grandmother's achievement is an exaggeration beyond all proportion.
Based on what he's learned, from the Body Strengthening Stage to the God Stage, there are three major leaps that transform strength significantly compared to the stages after them.
Those stages are the Nirvana Realm, the Demigod Realm, and the God Realm.
That his grandmother could exert with mid-Demigod-level strength while at the peak of the Saint Realm demonstrates her exceptional talent and overwhelming strength.
This strength can perhaps be explained by her terrifying techniques.
Just by looking at their names and the description in the system, he could tell they were very impressive.
Ever since he first saw his grandmother's status screen, Astra had been eager to see her true power in action.
Especially those divine abilities and forbidden spells. The skill he was most eager to see was the Wandering Arsenal. It had the following description:
[Name: Wandering Arsenal
Rarity: Divine
Type: Combat Technique
Description:
An extremely versatile martial manifestation skill. When activated, the user generates a sealed battlefield in which dozens or hundreds of weapons float around them or are embedded throughout the ground. Weapons of all kinds are materialized from mana. The user can summon, switch between, and manipulate these weapons at will, adapting to each combat situation like a storm of inexhaustible styles.
The field remains active as long as the user has enough energy to sustain it, and the weapons can be projected, summoned by hand, controlled remotely, or used as floating traps.
Furthermore, the technique's power increases exponentially if real weapons are integrated into the field. Each weapon infused with martial intent or unique refinement replaces an illusory manifestation, endowing the Wandering Arsenal with devastating force and unprecedented tactical depth.
Note: An original creation by Kassandra Lionheart.]
When Astra saw the description, he knew perfectly well why his grandmother was considered one of the strongest people in the world, as well as why she has so many weapons of different types stored with her.
In addition to the skills, he also knows that everyone thinks his grandmother has an affinity for fire, lightning, darkness, and ice.
But, according to the magical theory he learned from the system's books, plus what he's researched in the Library of the Cosmos,
The chaos attribute is more like a type of mana. Chaotic mana. This mana allows you to use all elements without restriction, making your spells stronger.
In fact, he could see that his grandmother's attuned mana core was made up of chaotic mana. So it wasn't ignorance of his abilities, but rather a deliberate concealment.
Compared to her, her father's stats were somewhat disappointing. So she proceeded to examine them...
