I was not going to respond since you people tried to close the thread with Low 2-C worlds but since OP & few supporters still wants to push dimensions stuff I got no choice
I really don’t think you understand what you are evaluating.
There is no statement in Volume 23 that says Worlds = Dimensions.
Brother, when did the series limit “world” to meaning only a universe or a timeline? Are you trying to claim that “world” = “universe/timeline” every time it is mentioned in the series? Do you want me to show cases in Tensura where it is even used to refer to structures smaller than planetary size? There are cases where “world” clearly refers to a planet, and there are also cases where it refers to universes or Low 2-C–scale structures. If you are going to make a positive claim, feel free to point out the evidence that sentences like “world & dimension” or “worlds across all dimensions” are specifically referring to Low 2-C structures rather than the other meanings the term has.
I am not trying to make any claims here, so do not respond with silly questions like “do you think it’s a planet or something else?” It is your claim that, in these specific cases, “world” refers to Low 2-C structures and that “dimension” is separate from it.
I do agree that “world” can mean “universe” in some cases and Tensura got that cases, so I hope I am not being misunderstood here.
However in this specific case, there are different ways to interpret “world” as not being a universe, especially when “dimension” can be treated as a Low 2-C structure in this case. Because of that, I am not convinced that simply because “dimension” and “world” are mentioned in the same sentence, we should automatically assume that “world = Low 2-C” and that “dimension” is something separate from a Low 2-C structure, without any proof. In those specific cases, there needs to be evidence showing that “world” is indeed referring to a Low 2-C structure.
Anything else, without such proof, is just an assumption and ultimately comes down to personal interpretation rather than something directly supported by the text. You are free to show proof for why the specific case where world and dimensions are mentioned together. World means Low 2-C. Otherwise I'm not seeing why we need to agree Dimension is something which houses low 2-C structures rather than it itself being one.
Would you be willing to give a reason on why you think worlds = dimensions despite the fact that, that would collapse the entire plot of volume 17 with invasion of worlds?
The term yohma needed to be addressed, she thought. In her mind the term translated directly to “mystic,” and the mystics she knew were the ones led by Feldway, the mystic lord. They were part of the so-called Aggressors, races that exist in any and all dimensions, and they were an enemy Velgrynd had clashed with many times in her long journey. The idea of running into them yet again made her groan, but she still held out hope that these yohma were something else.

Velgrynd can parse and speak any language from any world with fluency. It is a special skill that does not rely on authority because it can read the ‘thoughts’ that fly around in the world. However, some similar concepts can be confused, and care must be taken not to make a mistake. In this case, the word ‘demon’ is important. What Velgrynd knows is that it is a phantom race with the demon king Feldway at the top. He was an Aggressor tribe in every dimension and had many collisions with the Velgrynd throughout her long journey. Velgrynd was disgusted that he was there this time as well, but at the same time, she also considered the possibility that he might be different.

Volume 17, Chapter 2
First, the aggressors were the result of Ivarage corrupting them, as far as I can see and they existed in every dimension doesn't make sense when they are the half part of All one, and your own scan already points out that the mystics in other dimensions
were led by Feldway. In the last line,
she expresses hope that they will be different this time, but at no point is it confirmed that these are different aggressors from the ones she already knows.
This clearly shows that the passage is simply talking about the invading forces led by Feldway. In Volume 16’s prologue, it was already mentioned that they sent their forces through spacetime gaps that appeared once in a while and established their bases in other worlds. There is also the fact that Velgrynd’s travel across numerous worlds did not have any fixed time period; she was traveling to different eras. One of the worlds she explored was in the past, where the aggressors were trying to summon Cornu & establish their base and trying to conquer other dimension.
There is nothing indicating that the aggressors exist in all dimensions are different as separate groups of aggressors led by Feldway from Otherworld world where Ivarage is sealed, especially when your own scan explains that these were the same forces she was hoping would be different.
I don't think you need a big assumption like "Every dimension has Feldway of its own" to explain this situation. You can simply rule this out as a coincidence where she just clashed with them in every dimension.
Also care to share the raws? "He was an aggressor tribe" doesn't even make sense grammatically speaking. I need to check if slime reader messed up "they" with "he".
