The Ultimate Support Character

Finding out that they're not from the Invasive World organization somehow lifted some thorns in my throat. But still, it baffled me what they were truly doing in this World Zone.

Sending a whole fleet on a Mortal World seems too overkill for a simple search of a 'signature' they detected. It's either very important or they're just like this, making a great reaction over every little thing.

Since I decided to stay for more information before making a judgement of what to do, I listened in on their status reports before that Rank 3 Transcendent descended to the surface of the Mortal World as he stated.

There's no rush to follow him. Even if he's a Rank 3 Transcendent, a World's Will even if it's from a Mortal World wouldn't be subdued easily by him.

He could raze the whole planet yet he wouldn't be able to make it submit. He's not me who could make weaker World's Will tremble in fear after all. Furthermore, from what I gathered, they're also not from an Invasive World. There's no point with them attacking the planet.

There's just one exception though. There were those from Natural Worlds who would also go into the business of developing a Slave World for resources. But that's not common.

The Slave World that long-nosed Transcendent mentioned was possibly not in Density 1 World Zones, it was definitely pulled by whoever conquered it upwards in a Density 2 World Zone to quickly nurture its denizens.

Anyway, I stayed a little longer at the bridge, pooling in bits and pieces from their words before rearranging them to form a coherent intelligence regarding their origin, their goals and their current apprehensions about the situation.

Once I was done with that, I reunited with Erin after sending her a mental message through the crystal.

Although she didn't gather a lot, her information pulled from the Rank 2 Transcendents stationed at the other parts of the Space Vessel was still valuable. After combining and discussing everything, we summarized it. Or I summarized it since the girl had a lot of faith in me. Her knowledge was limited, after all.

"You did a great job, Erin. Thank you for coming with me"

Upon hearing my praise, the girl happily embraced me, dropping her act of being a little competitive. Well, that's how our relationship started anyway. Erin couldn't stand being left behind with my insane progress. By now, she's just as lovely as everyone both with her concern over me as well as her show of affection whenever we're alone.

We spent a few minutes in an unoccupied room to replenish her Source Energy by diverting my faucet to her before we traced our steps back to return to the Kingfisher.

Since these Transcendents weren't necessarily an enemy to us, I thought of using another approach. Aside from the information we gathered, getting to know them would bring a greater benefit for us in the long run.

We quickly made our way back to the outer ring of the perimeter they set up under Void Concealment. Following that, while still under the skill, we snuck inside a Scout Vessel about to launch whose destination was nearby the place where our Space Vessel was supposedly anchored.

The Kingfisher was partly concealed through the amplification of Zerina's cape that was imbued with Void Concealment. Dannae's Amplification Ability now had more applications after completing her Mortal Pathway. Still, the best one was that stacked amplifications that could become a trump card for us.

This time, I only made the pilot of the Scout Vessel sleep and turned it around before using another small Space Vessel stored in my Necklace to return.

A few minutes later, we were welcomed by my Companions who worriedly ran and checked if we were injured or not.

"I have Void Concealment, I can assassinate them all if I wanted to, you know?" I said to ease their worries. But still, Avelin and Dannae stuck closer to me, making sure that I wouldn't disappear in their eyes once more.

A while later, after pacifying the two, we moved to a larger room to discuss what we gathered as well as what I planned to do next.

The Space Vessel Fleet originated from a Transcendent World to whom they call the Prajna World. However, the crew members of the fleet were enlisted from different Transcendent and Mortal Worlds that were under one banner or rather, under the rule of a Sage World called Samsara.

As for where both were located, no one would talk about that openly, right? It's already a wonder that we got the name of the Transcendent and Sage World.

Samsara isn't a foreign world to me or to Yuko and my other Companions who reincarnated. It was already existing during our previous lives and it's a place we once visited. And although it's not one of our allied Sage Worlds at that time, the World's Will of both worlds could open a portal to travel to and from each other.

One of the mythologies or religions that's prevalent in modern Earth stemmed from that Sage World. However, it's not like everything about that religion was based on them. Names and other terms, maybe, but there's no actual connection. More like, the Sages from Samsara got made into legends and recorded in history when they visited in the past. Perhaps someone found those records in some ruins. Who knows?

As for what I knew about that world, there's at least eight Rank 5 Sages among their ranks.

But that's outdated information, they most likely also participated in the war that happened.

"Dai-kun, Samsara is where their Sages chased you out, right? They banned your entry because their World's Will was scared of you."

After I finished retelling about the Sage World called Samsara, Yuko raised a question. Even though her memory should already be almost complete, it would still take a bit of time to properly assimilate them all.

But she's right… I got chased out by their Rank 5 Sages who call themselves collectively as Bodhisattvas.

Well, not everyone did it but it's the same case as the World's Will of the World of Spirit. Scared by my Energy Control.

If I remember correctly, the World's Will's Authority couldn't restrict me in that world or rather, I could endure it.

That actually happened only a century before I became a Divinity. Perhaps if that World's Will didn't intentionally steer away from Earth, they'd also be destroyed by me when I went into a rampage to collect sufficient Source Energy.

I wonder what they'll think if they find out I'm still alive albeit weaker than before.

Ah… That's not the issue at the moment. We don't have any reason to go there and say hi to our acquaintances. At least, not now.

"Yes, that's the one." I answered Yuko's question while smiling bitterly. Nysia, Sofiel, Zerina and Avelin all giggled. They surely remembered that occurrence.

As for my other Companions and the dragon couple, they looked at us confused before egging me to tell them more about it.

"Well then, I suppose we're all clear of what to do. At least prepare yourselves in case they won't hear us out. Leave the Rank 3 Transcendent to me."

Soon after telling them the funny story of 'That time I got kicked out and banned from a Sage World', I presented a plan about what we're going to do regarding the fleet and the Mortal World in front of us.

Upon listening to it, they all enthusiastically agreed. Following that, Yuko and Sofiel moved to the helm to plot our course towards the Mortal World while I grabbed both Zerina and Dannae to invoke another undetectable cloak to our Space Vessel while moving.
