Chapter 446 Status
Chapter 446 Status
After three months since the Breached Portals appeared, some of those that hadn't been discovered earlier was now wide enough to send Energy Clones of Transcendents to possess an Earthling.
Those places became large enough to be called as a stronghold for the Dark Cult.
Yumiko and Jayna managed to destroy one of those before they went to the World of Elements, however, that's just one… Those they missed had been continuously expanding ever since that time.
By now, it's not an exaggeration to say that the whole world was already being parasitized by the Invasive Worlds trying to feel out the defenses of this world. When they arrived, they would surely target those with the least defenses to create another foothold.
The Earth Defense Army that was cultivated by the Principal was already fully mobilized all around the world. However, it's not like they're strong enough to take down every Dark Cult member or Possessed Earthlings.
Even if I didn't ask, it's easy to guess that there's already a high number of casualties among the soldiers they drafted.
Back then, the strongest among the soldiers of that army that I saw was only around Rank 3 Mortal.
It's fairly easy to imagine the struggle they would experience against the Possessed that not only their numbers continued to rise but also their strength.
And even if all Earthlings start threading the world's Mortal Pathway, it would be years before a clear result could be seen.
Unless I was underestimating the Level 3 Earth Energy, a Transcendent among the general populace would need at least 3 years to appear.
If it's someone from the Earth Defense Army then Transcendents would start showing up in their ranks in a few months' time.
Against this looming crisis posed by the Invasive Worlds which Illiana warned me about, the only Transcendents we could count on were the Heroes and the group I brought with me.
With the sheer number of Breached Portal locations that showed up inside the circle, the Transcendents available on Earth weren't enough to clean them up swiftly.
Just in Japan alone, there were still more than 50 Breached Portal locations even if the Principal was actively sending a Hero and a squad of Earth Defense Army to every discovered Breached Portal location prior to this.
With just that number alone, even if not every Breached Portal had a Transcendent, each team that needed to be sent should at least have one, in case of emergency.
Although the countries that got included inside the circle also had their Heroes that they could send to the Breached Portal locations detected inside their jurisdiction, only China and Russia had another Pocket Dimension existing somewhere inside their territory. The existence of Pocket Dimension could train their Heroes when they're not summoned to their Otherworlds after all.
Both South and North Korea only had a handful of rogue Heroes that the Principal found when he used the Totem back then. Without the existence of a Pocket Dimension, they could only provide them superficial assistance.
At the moment, most of the Heroes around the world were already being managed by their countries' authorities.
However, even after 3 years of going to and from their Otherworlds, only some of them managed to reach Transcendence. Apart from Amry, Matthew and Boris who I added to my Support List, the Transcendent Heroes from other countries could only be counted in one hand.
Now that we're going to restore the Source Energy of the Earth, I guess most of them will be able to reach Transcendence soon. The difference between Level 1 to Level 3 Source Energy was something I already experienced back in that Ancient Ruins.
That's probably why some of the citizens instantly reached the Awakened Realm in less than a day.
Nonetheless, Mortal Ranks were still insignificant on the threat that was about to come. And because most of the Earthlings lived in a peaceful society, a lot of them would be having a hard time adjusting to these upcoming changes.
Like I predicted before, the current law and rules of our society might crumble to dust and a new world order would rise wherein individual strength would reign supreme.
I could only hope that the Principal, my father and the others like them, if there were any, prepared a plan to deal with that issue.

With the fact that most Heroes weren't a Transcendent yet, I asked the Principal about the accurate data about them.
According to him, most of them were still stuck at Rank 4 and Rank 5 Mortals. Moreover, even among our classmates in the Special Class filled with Isekai Heroes, only half of them reached Transcendence while the rest were still stuck at Rank 5 Mortals.
Well, it will become more than half of the class soon.
When we arrived two days ago, I added our classmates who hadn't been summoned back to their Otherworld to the Support List, filling up 8 of the 11 slots.
As soon as they were added, the Support Bonus instantly raised their UPL to the threshold.
However, with the Earth still unawakened, they had to wait for their next trip to their Otherworld to call for their Door of Transcendence.
Since I had the chance to talk to them when I added them to the Support List, I inquired about the status of their Otherworld.
Well, when I talked to them, more than half of them had various injuries in their bodies. Upon seeing that, I asked for Noelle's assistance. Using both of our Healing Skills, we restored them near their perfect condition.
According to the eight, they couldn't do anything against the Dark World Transcendents that were lording over their Otherworld.
They're just Rank 5 Mortals. What could they do against a swarm of Rank 1 Transcendents?
Even if they could hold themselves against one of those, it would still eventually end in their loss.
All they could do was to continue fleeing with the natives who still wanted to resist the Dark World denizens.
If they leave them be, it's just a matter of time before the Dark World conquers those Mortal Worlds.
When I heard about that, I told them that becoming a Transcendent would become flashy with the Door of Transcendence and such. I advised them to ask the Principal to send them to a somewhat peaceful world like the world where he was training the Earth Defense Army for their Transcendent Trials.
Well, even though I heard about the status of their Otherworld, going there to close the Portal hadn't passed by my mind. I was already preoccupied with the awakening of the Orbs and restoring the inherent Source Energy of the Earth. Moreover, there's also the meeting with the World's Will. Perhaps after fully restoring the Source Energy, that would be the time for the revelation.
With additional 8 Supported Individuals, the bonus stats I was getting from their average base stats should've reached 110%. However, a notification rang out informing me that the maximum stats I could get from the Supported Individuals couldn't exceed 100%.
I was hoping that the system would continue being broken for my benefit but I guess that was just my wishful thinking.
Well even if it's like that, seeing my current status made me more than satisfied. The existence of the Level 3 Earth Energy and the Earth's Mortal Pathway enhancing my Meta Pathway gave me some sweet base stats bonus which could be compared to what I got when I reached Transcendence. 30 Strength and Endurance as well as 5 Intelligence.
Not only that, Yuko, Yumiko and two of our classmates that were currently on Earth whose Otherworld was a Psyche-type World also got the same bonuses.
Comparing my current UPL to when I returned from the Dark World, even without breaking through to the next realm during these past few weeks, I acquired close to 50% of my previous UPL.
That's kind of absurd but this just proves how overpowered my system is.
