As soon as the World's Will ntioned about the widening of the portal, an enormous wave of a certain familiar Energy instantaneously pervaded the world. Though it was just for an instant, it's without a doubt Dark Energy.
Did that wave of Dark Energy spill from their howorld? I don't know. But that was really the precursor for the widening of their Portal. It wouldn't be long now before we were t with them. They were about to show up and throw their weight around.
If it has already started here…
… What about the other worlds? The Support Incarnation I sent to Yumiko and Jayna will be back later and will bring news whether they were successful or not. Also, Jayna's attempt to Transcendence should have started earlier than Boris.
That night when I called her, she was already about to breakthrough after all. Perhaps she's still inside it. I will be notified and receive a Passive Skill just like from my other Companions if she's successful.
Yuko is also trying to root out the Dark Soldiers before the Portal widens. For now, there's no news from her. There's also Zerina's attempt, her Door of Transcendence will arrive tomorrow.
Nysia will have the support of the Matriarch Lyra, Old Man Liam and the trio of Kazeyoshi, Amry and Matthew who all succeeded in their attempt at Transcendence.
Six Transcendents like here. But yeah, their strongest is Nysia. Good thing, I left the Orb of Protection on her.
Among the four worlds, I'm worried about the World of Barbarian the most. Raiden should have already beco a Transcendent by now since I received another notification about a change in the average stats of the Supported Individuals.
However, Raiden alone wouldn't be enough if there were multiple Dark World Transcendents who would descend there. Both Avelin and Erin needed one more breakthrough to reach the threshold.
About the Otherworlds of my other classmates and Supported Individuals, I guess I can only cheer for them from here. Only when I settled the worlds of my Companions will I turn my eyes to help them. The Support Recall is still in cooldown so my hands are currently tied.
I can go back to the World of ta through the use of the Portal Skill which the World's Will there bestowed to during our last eting. However, even that Portal Skill has a cooldown and the World's Will here hasn't bestowed the skill to go here so… unless really necessary, I wouldn't easily use it.
"Darling…"
Sofiel called out to , waiting for my decision. Even if I told her that we would decide together, she still tended to turn to for instruction.
"Daisuke…"
And Fleur was also worried about what to do. Before I knew it, she also started to lean towards for a decision.
"Can you locate their Portal with that wave of Dark Energy?"
Since they're waiting for and I sohow get along well with the World's Will that she specifically appeared here to warn us, I stepped forward and asked the question. That's what she proposed to do when I t her again a few days ago.
This Incarnation of hers could beco as strong as a Rank 2 Transcendent but she couldn't really use a lot of Spells but her Energy Control was higher than mine.
A Rank 2 Transcendent has a minimum of Power Level 300, that's triple of a Rank 5 Mortal who reached the threshold for attempting Transcendence.
Just a difference of tens of stat points was already enough to dominate soone else. If a Rank 1 Transcendent can still be threatened by a horde of Rank 5 Mortals as if they ignore the risk, a Rank 2 Transcendent can stay still and the sa horde will not be able to put up a scratch much less injure them.
Sofiel is at the sa stage and when I sparred with her inside the Virtual Space, she literally just stood still when I was not using any buff.
Just like Fleur, her Transcendent Pathway involved incorporating Spirit Type properties to her completed Mortal Pathway.
When I asked her about it, she didn't hold back anything and showed the 2nd realm of her Transcendent Pathway. She already managed to reawaken her Main Core and was already on the redo of Elental Gathering Realm with the added Spirit Type properties. She had golden-light strings instead of ice-like strings of Fleur due to her Main Elental Core.
According to her, when she completely conjured the 5th string, five similar strings were also conjured by her Elental Core which combined with it and completed the reawakening process.
I still don't know if everyone from this world will have the Spirit Type properties in their Transcendent Pathway but it's likely the case. Either way, having her and the World's Will on our side, even if a Rank 2 Transcendent descends from the Dark World, I will just support the two with my buffs to sweep the floor to whoever it will be.
"That's not possible at the mont. They turned so parts of the world to beco a zone wherein Elental Energy will not be able to perate."
The World's Will shook her head in frustration. She's the manager of this world but against a higher world, she's feeling the helplessness.
Those Zones, if I'm not wrong, they're probably the sa as the Breach Portal Locations on Earth. The Dark World put those up to contain the Dark Energy they're sending for the Possessed Dark Cult mbers. In here, they're using them to evade the World's Will's prying eyes and to cover their important people's tracks.
"How many of those zones are there currently?"
"It's impossible to count them all as they kept appearing and disappearing. I ca here to tell you that I will not be able to keep this Incarnation here. I will be using this to help my main consciousness to look for the Portal."
The silver-haired woman waved her hand and Elental Energy naturally gathered on her hand. With a flick of her finger, the gathered energy expanded and a transparent screen was conjured from her hand. Just like how the Principal did it before, a moving image was being shown on it.
The two won beside stepped forward and observed it and I also followed right after.
What could be seen from the screen is one of the Dark World Zones which she ntioned. Like I thought, it's the sa, enclosed by a spherical barrier which prevented the Dark Energy inside and the Elental Energy outside to clash
In the image, the silver-haired woman appeared above the sky. As soon as she did, various attacks ca shooting towards her as nurous Dark World denizens flew up to fight her.
Before she was hit, the Nullification Zone which she taught was conjured, rendering most of their attacks useless.
Afterwards, she simply waved her hand downwards and the surrounding Elental Energy beca her own weapon. Molding it to suit her, the attacking Dark World denizens started to be cut down or blasted off from her almost perfect Energy Control.
In the end, she used her overwhelming Energy Control to destroy the spherical zone, dispersing the Dark Energy Contained inside.
No. She didn't actually disperse it but converted them all to Elental Energy which replenished and maybe brought back more energy that she used against them.
The image ended when that zone revealed that it was just an off-shoot base. The strongest among the Dark World denizens stationed there was barely a Rank 5 Mortal who died easily after the silver-haired Incarnation of the World's Will squished him out of information.
Sofiel and Fleur were both in awe at that display but for , that showed the potential of my Adaptability slash Energy Control.
Only when the screen disappeared did I manage to dish out my response to what she said earlier.
"We understand. You do what you have to. Just summon my or our consciousness if you discover sothing."
"Of course, I will be relying on you. Well then, I will be leaving. Thank you for giving this world more Transcendents."
The silver-haired woman left these words before instantly vanishing in front of us. The way she thanked … she's really turning more self-conscious.
With her warning, we were now made aware of what we should watch out for.
The initial wave of Dark Energy earlier was just the start. More of the sa occurrence will surely start to happen.
"Darling, I will go back to Aves and prepare our race for the upcoming Descent of the Otherworldly Invaders. It was written in the Scripture so… As the Supre Pontiff of The Great Protector Church, I have to guide them."
"Alright. We'll stand guard here for Hikari's attempt. If you need the Great Protector to show up, I will be there."
"Un. See you later at night."
Sofiel reached in for a kiss before her wings lifted her and flew back to the direction of the Floating Aves.
Since they're based on that religion, she also needed to maintain it like that.
With their departure, Hikari who was just watching at the side earlier stood up with a renewed determination on her face. The earlier stupor she had vanished.
Fleur and I escorted her to the place for her Transcendence.
A few hours later, the Archaic Door once again appeared above the sky and as soon as it materialized, Hikari with her staff in hand flew up and unleashed a 7-nodes Elental Spell she was casting ever since its appearance.
"Two more Transcendents. I hope we'll be enough to defend this world."
Fleur muttered at the side while watching Hikari knock on that huge Door of Transcendence. Only now did I notice that her hands were slightly trembling. It might be fear or uncertainty for the future.
In any case, upon seeing that, I reached for her trembling hand and held it in place in a bid to calm her down.
