The Ultimate Support Character

Earth. Three days later after we returned from the World of Spirit, while there were still threats in the form of the Space Vessels approaching Earth, the preparation to leave Earth had begun.

Apart from my Companions, the other Transcendents that would be coming with us were only the dragon couple, Ezyn and Yse.

The three Heroes from World of Meta also expressed their intention to join. However, I told them the risk of going out into the wild space with a strength lower than Rank 2 Transcendent.

They're already close to that level but still, they'd become a liability in case something went awry.

Some of the heroes also expressed their desire to join us but with the sly old man stepping out to quell that kind of clamor, those who were expressing their desire to join died down.

It's not like we're going out for a merry adventure outside of Earth and into the depths of the universe far from this area wherein all around us were planets without any Source Energy.

It would be fraught with greater danger than when we were in here where we could be protected and shielded by the restrictions the World's Will could put against recognized enemies.

And this time, for me to get another layer of protection or another boost in my current strength and the strength of those who would be left behind here, I added the sly old man, my father and all of the remaining old fossils in my Support list.

The dragon couple was also added on my Support List instead of just putting them in Allies.

And that's because I got an additional 20 new slots for it through the completion of the System-type Mortal Pathway.

Although the number of those listed in my Support List exceeded 30, the average strength of them rose to more than 100 points for all three stats; if Intelligence is multiplied by 6.

Also… to give some of the Heroes or important Transcendents a boost of their strength, Yuko, Yumiko and Hikari gave up their slots in the Support List, lowering their total UPL.

Nonetheless, it's not a huge blow for them and in fact, they treated it as a way to encourage themselves to regain back what they lost through more hard work.

Since it's their wish, I never rejected it.

As for those who were also hoping to be added but ran out of slots, I just gave them a 10% Support Bonus through the Allies list while leaving a spare of 100% in case we met other Transcenscendents out there that could become our ally.

With the 'Pathways Online' going strong with more and more Earthlings joining them, it's already a sure way to bring the Earth to a new height in power.

Then with the brightest minds of Earth meeting Researchers from the World of Meta and began adapting technologies, reaching new technological advancements as well as studying the data I brought back from Atlantis, the future of the Earth would slowly crawl back to its previous height.

And lastly, with the Heroes, Transcendents from Mortal Realms and Earth Defense Forces defending Earth from Invading Forces from Invasive Worlds as well as sending expeditions to the Mortal Worlds connected to Earth to defend it, they were also on their way to improve themselves even if they wouldn't be coming with us.

At this moment, we're now in the middle of one of the EDA Bases in Japan.

In front of us was a giant fish-like Space Vessel that was as big as a commercial airplane. It was the Space Vessel that we're going to use, the Kingfisher or whatever the sly old man named it.

Well, it was from them and it was not only superior to those Space Vessels we looted, but it also has a bigger area for us to move about. There were enough rooms for all of us in there and the Fuel Storage was also five times higher than those Space Vessels the Rank 3 Transcendents rode when they arrived on Earth.

According to the sly old man, it was a Space Vessel that he was keeping for this occasion and it was actually provided by the World's Will. He told him where to find it…

That's right. It's a Space Vessel from the fallen civilization of the Sage World called 'Earth' that I destroyed by my own hands…

Well, enough with that. I expected something like this considering the World's Will and I have some similarities in how we think things through.

"Daisuke, do you really have to go?" My mother, Keiko, worriedly asked.

Although it was still baffling for her to think that I was going into outer space and I would be bringing all the girls I introduced to her, she still went here to send us off.

"Don't worry mom. I'll regularly contact you. You have it in you, right?"

"That's not enough. Promise me you'll come back. You will all come back."

"I promise. This is my home. No. This is our home. Besides, we'll still want you to hold your grandchildren if we ever made one during our journey."

"You…! Did I ever raise you to become like this? Girls, I expect you to keep him in check. It's fine to talk about children but make sure you will be able to put them out of harm. You told me how dangerous your journey will be so… as much as possible, aim for that when you return."

Although I didn't expect to be scolded right before leaving, I guess I deserved it. Why did I even tell her that even as a joke?

Nonetheless, I better not tell her that I was already trying to make one with some of them…

"Un. Leave it to us, mother. You don't have to worry." Yuko answered her as she stepped forward next to me.

Following that, all of my Companions also stepped forward to quell my mother's worry. In the end, it ended up being something like a farewell party with my mother and some of my sentimental Companions crying together.

On the other hand, I also talked to my father and the old fossils about what they had to watch out for, especially the Overworld Serpent that was teased by those Transcendents.

They already marked Earth, sooner or later they would arrive.

After all this, a new journey will now begin for us.
