The Ultimate Support Character

Later that night, two Luxian Transcendents were sent by Sofiel to stand guard in our place for Hikari and Boris' Door of Transcendence.

Due to that, we got the time to go back to Aves to check on what they managed to get from the Dark Elf Transcendent.

Using the method of their church to extract some information from the dying Transcendent, Sofiel caught hold of information pertaining to the enemy that we would face soon.

According to the Dark Elf, there were three categories for each Mortal World the Dark World was targeting.

The Small and Low-risk World.

The Medium and Moderate-risk World.

The Large and High-risk World.

According to his information, High-risk Worlds are the ones where there are more than ten Transcendents existing. Though the risk of dying is high, assimilating such a world will be more beneficial for the Dark World. Not only will it become a gateway to connect to Earth, but the denizens of the said world will also have a higher chance to become a Transcendent in the future. That was especially after their Source Energy was completely assimilated, turning every Mortal into Dark World denizens.

Also, there's a more important piece of information apart from how they categorize the worlds they're invading.

As a Transcendent of the Dark World, he became privy of their World's Category according to Universal World Standard or UWS.

As for what it is, Sofiel remembered bits and pieces of information about UWS. It was common information circulated on the converging hubs in her past life.

There are two categories for a Mortal World.

The Natural World and the Created World.

Their categories are self-explanatory.

The difference between the two, a Natural World can grow to become a Transcendent World while the Created World will have to depend on its creator to advance from being a Mortal World to a Transcendent World.

A Natural World will level up its Source Energy as long as it continues to produce Transcendents.

A Created World can also level up without the help of the Creator by invading other Mortal Worlds to steal their Source Energy and assimilate it to their own Source Energy.

As for the information about the Creator, there's none. It's a piece of information for a much higher world that no Transcendents will be privy to unless they came from a world higher than Transcendent World.

Consequently, Level 2 Transcendent Worlds also have different categories.

Growing Worlds, Converging Worlds and Invasive Worlds.

Growing World and Converging World are the paths for a Natural World.

Converging Worlds is the path for a Created World that was helped by its Creator.

And lastly, as expected, Invasive World is the only path for the Created World which relied on attacking other Mortal Worlds to forcefully level up.

A Growing World is the most ideal path for a World as it can continue to advance forward.

A Converging World will be stuck to that level. It is what Sofiel called a converging hub. The Transcendent Worlds categorized as such is connected to more than 100 Mortal Worlds be it Natural or Created Worlds. Every Transcendent that will be produced from the Mortal Worlds connected to it will have the option to ascend to the Converging World. Also if a Mortal World finally levels up and become a Growing Transcendent World, the connection will still be there.

Also, Converging Worlds probably has connections to higher Worlds given that they can descend to it.

An Invasive World will just continue to attack more Mortal Worlds for their Source Energy and because of that, an Invasive World was frowned upon and they're usually being hunted down by the higher worlds to stop them from growing unchecked.

With that information, the Dark World is categorized as an Invasive World. As to why they're targeting the Mortal Worlds and the unawakened Earth, whether it was a coincidence or not, it's still unknown. But given that the Principal knew about the higher-ups of the Dark World, there's surely more to it than just trying to become a higher World.

Also, these Mortal Worlds are connected to Earth and that's the reason why they are being targeted. Assimilating them is probably just for convenience.

Is the Earth a Converging World? But with the pieces of information I accumulated, it's not just a Transcendent World when it was awakened. Then why are these Mortal Worlds Connected to Earth?

Also what category do these Mortal Worlds fall into? Natural or Created Worlds? Should I make more Transcendents to see if it will naturally level up? Will the World's Will have knowledge about what kind of World they are managing?

Gaining more information this way begets another set of questions. I keep piling up questions like this and whenever I get an answer, more questions will turn up.

I really need to squeeze every piece of information the Principal is holding or at least, take back the memories ripped from me.

"Darling, is the information earlier too much for you?"

Sofiel sat next to me when she saw me in deep thought. Her brows were a bit creased, clearly a sign of her being worried about me.

"Not really. It's just the questions running in my mind increased from that so I'm probably overthinking again by trying to guess the answers."

My overthinking habit never stopped. Well, thanks to her, I got out of it earlier than I thought.

Since Fleur was currently out, I'm alone with her this time. By sitting next to me, my arms naturally circled on her waist pulling her closer to me. I already accepted her, so there's no point being indecisive at showing how I like being with her.

Sofiel liked that and immediately returned it by resting her head on my shoulder.

"If there's still something, you can ask me and I can try to recall more from my memory."

"No. It's fine now. You also needed to rest, you know? You already answered everything that can be answered, What I'm overthinking are those that are impossible to be answered currently."

She's not just working for three days. For the past 30 years, she's probably maintained everything to be kept under her control as she waited for the day when I would appear. More than anyone else, she's the one who needed rest the most.

Upon hearing that, Sofiel giggle sexily and pinched my cheeks.

"Even in this life, you still have that habit. Well then, can you stay with me tonight?"

So I'm still the same overthinker even back then, eh? My overthinking habit is surely more severe than Jayna's overflowing curiosity.

"That's the reason why I'm here. After taking Fleur as my companion, she instantly realized that I've been with her most of the time and seldom let you be alone with me."

"I see. I will have to thank her tomorrow. By the way, the Dark Elf you took down already died and the World's Will appeared right after and took him with her. She's probably going to wring him dry of his Dark Energy."

That's what she will surely do. Just like what she did in that scene she showed us. Converting the Dark Energy to replenish this world's Elemental Energy.

But that World's Will, it's hard to understand her. Is it because she's originally without self-consciousness and it became one of her personality?

"She didn't say anything else?"

"No. She only told us to keep our eyes open. Until now, the waves of Dark Energy continued to pulse every hour. According to that Dark Elf, there are at least 20 of them that will descend here and someone is important enough to be called a Great One's descendant."

20. If we added Benedict and Marina that's already a guaranteed 21 since we already drew first blood. But there's probably another hidden Noxian Transcendent so that's 22. And he said at least. It can be more than 20…

Compared to us that can be counted on hand, we're already at a disadvantage with just our numbers. Even if I added the two undergoing their Transcendent Trials and the World's Will's Incarnation, it will not be enough.

"Descendant, eh? This is a High-risk World for them, he's probably trying to gain merits by conquering this world."

"I'm ready to be your sword, darling. Just point and I will cut them down."

As long as there's no Rank 3 Transcendent among the descending Dark World denizens. Then Sofiel can really face them head-on. But for now, there's no point revealing all our hands.

"No. You will be our trump card. As much as possible, I want them to underestimate us. That way, killing them one by one will be easy. When I revealed you, it will be when you are going in for concluding this invasion of them. Let's wait for the Portal location. Tomorrow they will probably be at our front door. If it didn't result in a conflict, I will continue training the remaining elites."

Sofiel nodded and dropped her usual countenance.

"I understand. Now that the official businesses are out of the way, darling…"

Her voice trailed off as it sweetly turned into a whisper.

She lifted her head that was resting on my shoulder and reached in for my lips. With how much she waited for this time, her passion and longing for me exploded into a more heated response.

As the night continued, we soon ended up in her bed, without any article of clothing in our bodies.

Four hours later, I woke up with Sofiel's soft body snuggled up to me as a series of notifications concerning Jayna's Transcendence and the return of my Support Incarnation appeared.
