The Ultimate Support Character

Chapter 598 Relation

"That Chaosworld? You're dreaming if you think we can clear it."

Remilia disdainfully answered the Incarnation. Her Source Energy-infused glare shot out, cutting through the air. It passed by the Incarnation's face and grazed against the Heavenly Mistress's face behind it. Blood immediately got drawn from the cut but she didn't dare move in fear of being cut open by Remilia's physical blade.

At this point, her arrogance was already cowed and even if she remained to be the World's Will's Blessed, she could only perform messenger or servant duties – at least, while the two women remained a guest to their world.

"It's not something a bunch of mediocre Transcendents can clear. Set your eyes on something more realistic."

Remilia turned around, giving the attitude that she didn't want to discuss the topic anymore.

Having seen the place up close when she disposed of Inyoin's group there, Remilia understood how dangerous it was. With numerous Space Oddities that ranged between Rank 2 Transcendent and above, casualties will be inevitable even if they bring an army consisting of hundreds of Exalteds and tens of Monarchs.

And that is her estimate if they only consider occupying the outer regions and hunting down the Space Oddities there.

Alwyn did scan it once when she deliberated whether to refuel there so she had no idea that it was chock-full of Space Oddities, waiting for an unlucky Source Energy being to pass by.

Remilia herself wouldn't dare herself stay there longer than a few minutes within the boundary of that Chaosworld.

Even if she's confident of cutting down a legion of them, the corruption properties of Chaotic Energy as well as the aura being exuded by those Space Oddities would be enough to gradually burn through her Source Energy reserves.

Moreover, it's also not impossible for a stronger Space Oddity to exist close to its Core where the Chaotic Energy processed by the Chaosworld is concentrated.

"I may have misspoken, I apologize."

The expressionless Incarnation lowered its head before continuing.

"I did not mean rounding up every Chaotic Energy being in that Chaosworld. Only the ones that can be lured outside."

Reiterating his request, the Incarnation provided more insight about it.

Alwyn looked at Remilia. Since she's stronger than her, she believed that giving her the right to make a decision was the correct choice.

They could consult Daisuke again, however, they both had the same notion of not troubling the guy who was World Zones apart from them. It's already enough that he continues to check on them whenever possible. The feeling of having someone worrying about their safety has long been dulled considering the years that they'd lived in constant danger. For Daisuke to reignite that, they're already gratified for it.

Of course, they never dared talk about the guy's audacious claim of wanting them to be his Companions. They both served the Great One Illiana and they understood his importance to her.

"I will still have to decline. I'm confident in my strength, however, I'm not invincible. Tell me, what made you decide to trust us? We may not be from the same Invasive World that attacked you but we're still from another Invasive World. Not to mention… the ones running our world may have sold us to the same organization the invaders belonged to."

Remilia deemed it not important to withhold that much information. For all she knew, there was a reason why the World's Will specifically let them in this world without restricting them. And even if it turned hostile from learning about that, she's confident to escape with Alwyn.

"Indeed. It must have been confusing to read my intention. The world you came from… it is related to us."

The Incarnation answered. His tone remained the same but the weight of that information shocked both Remilia and Alwyn. Even the Heavenly Mistress's face switched back to horror – most likely thinking that she truly messed up by capturing Alwyn before.

What did it mean by saying that their worlds are related to each other? This is a Natural Transcendent World while the Dark World is originally a Created World.

Upon arriving at the World of Tree Spirits, the World's Will Incarnation which still took the form of a small girl welcomed us.

Naturally, having been connected to me through World Assimilation, she was partly aware that they experienced an intense situation that made him hungrily siphon Source Energy from this world's reserve.

It didn't inquire but I still informed it that we destroyed a Slave World of the Invasive World Organization.

She was shocked but recovered immediately upon seeing that everyone who left with me was still alive.

As we reached the surface, the denizens of the World who still revered us as saviors also welcomed us.

Then, the trio of heroes; Kazeyoshi, Amry, and Matthew appeared from where they were staying, wondering what happened.

I didn't tell them everything but at the very least, I informed them that we clashed against the enemy of the Earth and told them to be alert in case an unknown Space Vessel passed by.

If a Space Vessel turned out hostile, I asked them to inform me or the sly old man back on Earth first before engaging them. Otherwise, they should just let them go.

Their strength was only around late Rank 2 Transcendent. They'd find it hard to contest against them if a Rank 3 Transcendent showed up.

They're heroes but they're neither immortal nor the protagonist of a panda-novel with an absurd amount of plot armor.

Once that's done, I opened a Portal back to Earth.

Before going back, some of my Companions told me that they would stay behind just in case. That way, I can also send an Energy Incarnation to help defend.

I naturally agreed but before doing so I made sure to equip them with more protective treasures that we looted – I'm still such a worrywart for them.

In the end, the ones who decide to stay behind are Erin, Avelin, Dannae, and Leianne.

I could understand some of the reasons that they probably held back on telling me.

For Erin, she wanted to focus on challenging herself to reach the threshold of the 2nd Realm of her Transcendent Pathway.

For Avelin, she's just there to accompany Erin and look after her. They're already closer than blood-related sisters. And despite her past life's memory, Erin remained that precious to her. I mean, they've been together ever since we arrived at her small Whiteshade Tribe in the World of Barbarians.

For Dannae, she believed her prototype Particle Cannon could save them time in dealing with hostile Space Vessels. She's not wrong. She could obliterate them as long as she applied her abilities to it and prepared to shoot it right away.

For Leianne, knowing that I might return to the World of Meta, she's probably holding herself back from returning yet. She's stubborn when it comes to her goal. Given that she had yet to accomplish what she set out to do by becoming my Companion and coming with me, she didn't want to return prematurely with nothing to show off.

I know I can probably change their minds if I wanted to but if I keep hindering them with their personal decisions then it will feel like I'm keeping them in prison. No matter what, they're already my Companions and our destinies have long been tied together.

"Alright. We'll be back in a bit. I'll just dump these people to the old fossils and accomplish my side of the deal."

As my Companions stepped inside the Portal, they pulled in a cart holding the other captives.

On the other hand, I'm carrying the white-haired, formerly veiled, woman who had yet to regain consciousness.
