The Ultimate Support Character

Chapter 394 Back To The World Of Meta

"Caila, have you become accustomed to your new Pathway?"

Among the three, only Caila picked the Physique-type Brute Energy and because of her fondness with the Pillars, she didn't hesitate in assimilating to it as soon as she got the Flux Energy State after becoming one of my Companions.

Having her Grand Knight System plus the new Physique-type Pathway with all the abilities she got from it; Jewel Skills, Crown Skill, Pillars, even not being a Transcendent, she could now go toe-to-toe against a Transcendent without receiving any external help. Well, defeating one was still a question since her UPL was being limited by her Mortal Body.

And after becoming a Transcendent, defeating a normal Rank 1 Transcendent will not be a problem anymore. For her 3rd Pathway, I'm thinking for her to get the Spirit-type or Psyche-type. Well, that will be her choice now.

For Reinys, I advised her to get the Elemental-type and Spirit-type. With her Spells consisting of fire types, she would possibly become like Fleur, a full Fire Elemental and the Spirit-type might give her a Transformation Skill that could further enhance that.

For Noelle, considering her Blessings and System, Elemental-type and Psyche-type were probably better for her. Awakening an evolving ability from the Psyche-type would give her some other means apart from being full support. Her stats were also rising anyway. Even now, she could beat Rank 4 Mortal and below by hitting them with her staff.

"Yes! There's no problem anymore. I guess it's now not bad being your Companion. I'll pamper you, as your older sister, from time to time." Caila grinned and tapped my shoulder. However, upon noticing the other girls staring at us, she awkwardly stepped away.

Well, she's already one of them and their stares weren't even that menacing. She's the only one who found it awkward.

In any case, with that out of the way, I stood in front of them.

To send us off, Raiden appeared along with some of his generals and the Barbarian women who he would marry once everything settled down.

With the Old Man coming with us, he now has to appoint a new one who will do his administrative work that will be left behind.

There's no threat anymore and this world, like the World of System and World of Spirit, can now rebuild and perhaps head towards a new era where Transcendents will start appearing.

Ophelia also arrived to send us off. Like with Caila and Noelle, I also turned her into one of my Companions to give her a boost in strength, raising her UPL to reach the threshold. Three days later, her Transcendent Trials will start.

Right. I'm already starting to exploit this new discovery.

Well, in any case, I won't add just about anyone. I'll be the judge on who I will take in. Moreover, I don't think the System is this broken to allow an unlimited number of Companions. Just the bonus I'm getting from the registered Heroes was already absurd enough as it is. A limit might show itself soon. Hopefully, not anytime soon.

Although I added her, Ophelia will still be left behind in this world to manage the newly formed Great Whiteshade Tribe. Raiden finally let them go out of his tribe's umbrella, giving it the former name of Avelin's small tribe. Adding 'Great' was like an honorary title.

In the first place, as soon as it was formed, it's already working independently. Technically, it's my tribe with Avelin and Erin.

Due to this, Ophelia's gratitude to me was already sky-high. She promised that once the Great Whiteshade Tribe stabilized she would follow us and stay at my side.

Even without that, I already planned to pick her up in the future and check on her regularly. As one of my Companions, our destinies are already tied to each other. Our future relationship can be built up slowly. There's no point rushing on it.

"Raiden, good luck and congrats on your marriages. If it was proven that they're the ones destined to you, they might become your most trusted allies."

I said that as a joke. But considering it happened to me, for sure his destiny will pull up those women around him. Even if he's just doing that out of obligation and promises, it's just a matter of time before he found someone that's tied to his destiny. I just don't know if it will be one or more than one like me.

"I know. You already set an example that I can follow… See you on Earth. I don't think I will still be needed in your journey to every world. Looking at your lineup… anyone will be terrified as long as they're not those Rank 3 Transcendents and above that you told me about." Raiden waved his hand before turning to the Old Man, "Uncle Reol, thank you for all your guidance. Without you helping me, the Heavenly Lightning Tribe will not be this way. It's time for you to spread the wings you furled and create your new legend. I'm sure we'll meet again soon and we will be able to fight on the same battlefield again.

"Chieftain, I will always be a part of your Heavenly Lightning Tribe. Treat this as me being your representative."

Upon hearing that, Raiden deeply bowed to him.

With our farewells done, I stepped forward and activated the Portal Skill.

As it is something that will let us travel to another world. The energy needed to open one from this was more than I expected. Moreover, the World's Will of this world needed to give his silent confirmation before the space in front of me gradually opened up.

After that, it still needed to drill into the space and arrive at the World of Meta wherein it also needed confirmation from the World's Will at that world.

Without the two World's Will's confirmation and permission, the process of opening up the Portal would've taken a long time and a larger amount of energy. With the two's help, they also used their Source Energy to smoothen the process.

Everyone watched it with bated breaths and when my sweat started to form on my forehead because of the rigorous process, Yuko stepped forward to wipe it before taking my lips into a kiss, refilling my Flux Energy through it.

Setting up that example, Zerina, Avelin, Erin and Irja soon followed. And although Reinys still couldn't totally sink in the fact that she's now my Companion, she still stepped forward to do the same.

Of course, Caila, Noelle and Ophelia didn't do the same or rather there's no need to. Even Reinys' help was also unnecessary but I accepted that kiss, nonetheless.

With Irja's Energy Capacity as a full-fledged Rank 2 Transcendent or being someone firmly at the 2nd Realm of her Transcendent Pathway, the energy I got from her was more than enough.

As soon as the Portal solidified, I had Irja step in first.

Compared to the Portal forcefully opened by the Great Ones, the Portal I opened was being maintained by the two World's Will.

Although some kind of disturbance from the Portal happened when she stepped in due to her current UPL, Irja managed to safely pass through it.

Following her, Yuko and the others stepped into it one by one with me being the last.

Giving the World of Barbarian one last look, I stepped in as well and as soon as I did, my vision turned white. It's not like the Dimensional Passage wherein we still had to spend an indeterminate time inside. The process was simple.

Thinking about it, the Portal being sent to Earth to transport the Heroes was also like this.

Surely, it's because of the influence of the World's Wills. And that solved that mystery about how the Portals only allowed the Heroes to enter, they put restrictions on it but my Adaptability rendered those restrictions ineffective.

On the topmost floor of the Nysia Tower, Nysia along with Lunaria, Leianne, Elise and Dannae were together. After gathering them yesterday and relaying Daisuke's message to the four, Nysia had them stay with her to prepare for welcoming him back.

Truthfully, the other four also couldn't bear to leave after hearing Daisuke's message hence they all stayed.

However, the silent anticipation was suddenly disturbed when the holographic screen where Nysia often watched her favorite dramas opened and the old face of Liam appeared on it. Behind him, a score of Darkgens could be seen flying down from the sky. "Alliance Leader, we need reinforcements. Ten Ultimate Darkgens appeared. My old bones can only take on two or three of them. They're trying to take control of the Regenium Mine!"

After that, Elise's and Lunaria's communicator also rang.

"Sister Nysia, I just heard of a report from Eldur that our enemies from the moon also launched an attack on the Regenium mine. Without any Transcendent guarding it, the defenses will not last that long." Elise said after the call ended.

"I'm afraid the Confederacy's Regenium mine is also suffering the same. Mother is requesting reinforcements." With a hint of worry on her face, Lunaria also said after the call ended.

With those three reports of simultaneous attacks on the three Regenium Mines, Nysia appeared to be contemplating what to do. After a few seconds, her eyes scanned the four women with her.

"… This is not the first time this happened. I will go and reinforce the Empire. Lunaria, take half of the Aegis Battalion to reinforce your Mother. Elise, take Lexie and the other half of the Aegis Battalion along with the other Core Pilots of the League and your Order. And Leianne… stay with Dannae here and hold the fort for us. Contact the Settler Faction to send help. Also, probe Krond if he tipped the enemies or this is just a coincidence. You know how to do it."

After relegating their duties, Nysia calmly stood up.

Influenced by how Nysia addressed the current situation, the four women acknowledged and swiftly stood up to complete the task delegated to them.

Before all of them left the room, Nysia added. "Daisuke will arrive any minute now. This is the last time we will be bullied like this."

Upon hearing that, all of them nodded and smiled. With the thought of his arrival, they all became even more enlivened as if the current crisis they're about to deal with is now insignificant.
