The Ultimate Support Character

Chapter 496 Do You Want Me To Pick Or...?



"Daisuke, it\'s done."

Lunaria called out to me as her figure aesthetically fluttered down from above. Apart from the natural moon of the Mortal World hanging above the sky, three more moons were basking her in their light. One was from her Ability - Moonlight Control, one was from a 12-nodes Elemental Spell she created and the last one was from her Crown Skill.

The Elemental Spell she created was somewhat rough because she bypassed perfecting it starting from 1-node. Nonetheless, its desired function was achieved. Her ability recognized it as a moon and its light could enhance her properly.

By fully utilizing all three Pathways she had, a group of Rank 2 Dark World Transcendents who thought of ambushing her was routed flawlessly.

Ah no. They were ambushing the two of us, thinking we\'re dead meat.

In the end, I became an observer. Lunaria treated it as another training for her. Moreover, she didn\'t ask for a buff from me.

That\'s why upon defeating them, this dazzling woman excitedly flew down with a wide grin plastered on her lips.

Back during the last operation of the Dark World to capture a regenium mine on the World of Meta, she was almost defeated by a group of Specialized Darkgens and was only saved by Erin.

Now, more than a month after that event, Lunaria was even stronger than the Rank 2 Transcendent who descended in their world.

Perhaps, if her mother saw her and her growth, she wouldn\'t be that against Lunaria\'s decision to become my Companion anymore.

"Excellent work. You\'re finally getting the hang of using all three Moons. But how\'s the burn in your Flux Energy?"

"... It\'s still too high. What do you think I should do?"

"Hmm… Improve on your Energy Molding. That way, there will be lesser energy leaks on the 12-nodes Elemental Spell. The Energy you were channeling to it was even higher than when you activated your Crown Skill."

Her Ability from her Psyche-type Pathway to conjure an illusory moon was already perfect. It would appear like a true moon even during the day where it should be hard to see. Her Crown Skill was also already perfected when it formed. Being a Crown Skill, it needs an enormous amount of Energy that would scale along with her strength.

It\'s now like this. Because of my returned memories. My Companions who were having trouble with understanding their new Pathways were coming to me for advice. If before I could only use the information available to me to give advice, it was different now when it was as if this was just the extension of my past life. Every memory I had ever since Yuko found me was vivid in my mind. That\'s why advising them for their understanding of their new Pathways was contributing to their quick progression.

Although the new Pathways they assimilated were already synced with their initial one, it was like they downloaded the data to their minds. So they still needed to view its folder and check on it to completely understand the underlying intricacies of every Pathway.

After a few minutes of giving Lunaria and advice, we resumed our goal in this Mortal World. To close the last Portal.

This was the last Mortal World with an open Portal from the Dark World. While the others were cleaning the remaining Dark World denizens in every world, I only brought Lunaria with me.

I could bring anyone else but this girl was always at the corner these past few days and she\'s not competing with the others when it comes to my attention. That\'s why I thought of spending time with her even with this brief time we would be here. Let\'s say we\'re having an Otherworldly date.

And I was right for bringing her here.

Seeing her excitedly hold onto me now that there are only the two of us here, it made me remember the memories of my Incarnation with her.

Although she had a strong character who didn\'t want to be a burden to her mother, she\'s also somewhat weak when it comes to… stepping forward to grab what she wanted. That\'s why she\'s not trying to get my attention and she\'s only waiting for when I would go to her.

In less than two days, that plan to finally rid the last of the thirty Mortal Worlds of the Dark World\'s Portal was completed.

With all the freed Heroes and Transcendents involved, it didn\'t take long for some of the Rank 2 Transcendents of the Dark World to just scurry back to their world instead of letting themselves die under the combined strength of the Heroes and my Companions who were all bordering near Rank 3 Transcendent in UPL.

With the number of Portals we managed to close before, the Transcendents that the Dark World sent down for the second wave were already informed to just escape if things went bad.

Ah. That group that Lunaria defeated was too confident with their Skills only to be defeated completely by a lone Rank 2 Transcendent.

No matter what, Rank 2 Transcendents were still a force the Dark World could use, especially during Dimensional Defenses. If they let them die needlessly on a failed invasion then they would find themselves weaker than the other tribes in terms of Elite Soldiers.

If a Dimensional Space appeared on their territory, they would be lacking Rank 2 Transcendents they could send inside.

With all thirty portals closed, I had no idea how Zaraya and the other two would react. Will they open one again? Or will they swim through deep space and conquer the world by themselves? Although the material or personnel loss they received couldn\'t be considered huge, the time they spent was their biggest loss.

That was more than three years. If they spent it attacking nearby Mortal Worlds then the progress of the Dark World would be higher than it was now.

And since the force they used for these invasions were from tribes under those three who pushed my Spirit World to become the Dark World, I didn\'t see any reason to spare any of them.

I didn\'t have any ability to fight against those three yet but once I did, they better prepare for punishment from the Creator of that World, me.

Truthfully, I don\'t have any qualms about it becoming an Invasive World. I left it for thousands of years after all.

What I didn\'t like was how they treated Illiana and Worldy. The world wasn\'t meant for them to do whatever they wanted to it. Moreover, they also endangered my Companions from their shenanigans. If they wanted to absorb a Mortal World\'s Source Energy Core, they should\'ve stuck to what they were doing before.

I was aware that there were still other Mortal Worlds that were being attacked by other Invasive Worlds. However, I also couldn\'t care less about them. The Heroes from the other countries who were summoned there were all stronger now that they became Transcendents and I doubt the other Invasive Worlds were as strong as the Dark World.

"All of you are now strong enough to conquer a Mortal World on your own. Don\'t you think so?"

We\'re back on our island again and although all of them went to a Mortal World and fought Rank 2 Transcendents of the Dark World, none of them was greatly injured. In fact, they were all unscathed.

They already grew so strong that even without me, they\'re already a force to reckon with.

"Strong enough, heh. But none of us can beat you, monster." Erin clicked her tongue and made a hateful remark. She\'s still sour after she challenged me on another spar earlier.

Since it\'s in a Virtual Simulation, I didn\'t hold back against her. Gone are the days where I will only run away against her attacks. I faced her head on that\'s why she\'s this sour.

"Obviously. If any of you can beat me now with my memories restored. Then that will be a call for a celebration. Do you know why? Because that means your chances of becoming a Divinity will be high." I scanned my gaze around them to check their reactions. Some like Erin had a bitter smile on their lips while the others were excited at the prospect. There were also like Avelin who was already rejoicing innocently at the side.

"I will always welcome your challenge to defeat me. In fact, I am looking forward to it… Anyway, our journey outside the Earth is nearing. There\'s just this one thing we needed to get."

After saying this, I waved my hand and the picture of the drowned city of Atlantis appeared in front of them.

"Everyone. We will be exploring this place soon to get our navigation tool for deep space. Although I want to come with all of you, it\'s impossible. The security with the technology of a peak Sage World is protecting it. We can only enter this place by a group of three and each time… you will be sent to a random location."

I flicked my fingers and the image changed to show the interior of it that was pulled from my own memory. It was divided into different sections and each place is being protected by Mechanical Robots with strength ranging from Rank 1 Transcendent to peak Rank 2 Transcendent or someone with UPL of 600 and above. Not just that, they\'re also equipped with the technology of that time so… it would be extremely dangerous if an individual was swarmed by them.

"As much as I want to be with all of you, I can only take two with me and the rest of you also need to make your own group. As for who I will take… Do you want me to pick or…?"

As I trailed my voice there, Erin, Jayna, Yumiko, Nysia, Leianne and Irja all looked like they had some suggestion to make.

However, before they could say their piece, Yuko suggested something.

"Dai-kun, stop teasing. We all want to come with you. Why don\'t we have a little contest? Predict who will become the first Rank 3 Mortal among the players of Pathway."
