The Ultimate Support Character

The Dimensional Skill. It was generated when the World of Meta's World's Will gave me the ability to open a Portal there. And when the World of Spirits reluctantly gave permission for it, it was just added to it.

Now, another one was added. Apart from the cooldown, it also needed the permission of each world's World's Will. Otherwise, the Portal Creation will fail.

Maybe some can forcefully open a Portal but that would just anger the manager of that World. Like how the Portals of the Dark World was forcefully opened for their Invasion.

"Why trust me? I know one World's Will who was too scared of me, thinking that I will take over his control over the Source Energy of that World."

"The Helpers I requested are all supported by you. You had them reach Transcendence. Before I knew it, everything became centralized around you. Also, you're someone unkillable even if that Luxian woman of yours goes all out against you. Putting in my bets on someone like you looks brighter than putting it on someone else's shoulders."

Ah. I guess that's true. Rather than killing methods, I have a lot of escaping methods. Her trust in me is a plus and I achieved my objective in meeting her this time.

"Alright. To reciprocate that trust you've given me. Do you need anything from me? Like a secret of mine or anything else?"

In the first place, I never had any conflict with her and. She even taught me the Nullification Zone. Now that she showed me this much of a trust, it's only right to give back something, right?

"Come back from time to time and chat with me."

"Is that all?"

"Yes. That's enough. Until you leave for another world, let me learn from you."

This… What can she learn from me? She's more knowledgeable in my opinion. But this is good… I also don't know what I can give her if she asked me for something else.

"Alright. If it's only that, I will visit you from time to time."

At the same time as I said that, I noticed the faint smile which peeked out from her lips.

Through that, I'm more convinced that she's truly gaining human emotions. Will it be fine though? Soon enough her decisions will be affected by her emotions. And those decisions concern the World and its denizens.

"You don't have to worry about that. My identity as the World's Will will not change along with this phenomenon that is happening to me."

She read my mind again and responded to it. Afterwards, she continued.

"I will not remove the temporary authority to send your consciousness here. Also, I will be sending what I find directly to your consciousness. Be alert at those times."

"Understood. Well then. What do you plan to do first?"

Since she reassured me on what I thought, I didn't comment on that again.

It's time to move on to the matter at hand.

"Here. Investigate this spot and if you can. Destroy the Zone. I will be attacking the one next to it. Remember. Do not underestimate them."

The silver-haired woman pointed at the outermost Dark World Zone. It's far from where the place she suspected but by starting there, that Zone will be the nearest path towards it.

We talk a bit more about the strategy and her experience in dealing with those Zones. Before my consciousness was sent back to my body.

"Well then, we're off. I trust you three to keep things in order. Also, take care of things here while we're gone."

As soon as I finished the Absorption Session after meeting the World's Will, I gathered my girls and told them about it. With their own inputs, we started to formulate a plan on how we will tackle the following days.

Switching from being on the defensive to offensive, we have to prepare for any possible scenario such as ambushes and sneak attacks to the territories.

And with that, two days immediately passed before we finished everything.

Of course, we didn't decide it with just the five of us. Arland, Hikari, Boris, and the other three Luxian Transcendents were all gathered to join us for a meeting. To hear their inputs on the plan we concocted.

The training of the Elites also never stopped and they all started to draw closer to the threshold.

The Old Man Elmer fused his fifth Secondary Core ahead of time. If lucky, it will just be a few days but at max, it will be a week before he takes that last step and summons his Door of Transcendence.

The other Elites who started to be trained with him also managed to achieve breakthroughs fusing one or two Secondary Cores. In less than two weeks, the results can now be properly seen.

Due to that, the others who joined late became more eager. The same could be said with Ezyn and Yse.

Because they're someone from another World and have completely different Mortal Pathway, they became popular sparring partners for the others.

Yse also became even more popular than her husband. Her human form is already a beauty that exudes too much elegance but her real form as a Silver Dragon has a more aesthetic appearance than Ezyn's.

Not only that, as they started to interact with them, there were those with hidden submissive personalities who started to admire her after seeing one of the couple's antics; Ezyn being scolded by Yse.

Yeah. I know. Masochistic perverts are universal.

With everything prepared. The day to enact it has now arrived.

Right now we're at the edge of the Formation surrounding Aves. Next to me is Jayna and in front of us are Yumiko, Sofiel, and Fleur. The three have mixed expressions on their faces, partly worried and partly confident on us while the one at my side had a wide grin on her lips. Clear excitement could be seen in her expression.

Well, the reason for that is because I will only be taking Jayna with me to close the Dark World Zone. I will need her expertise on disguise and although I hate to admit it, among the four, she's still the weakest.

I planned on enhancing her strength in this mission of destroying the Dark World Zones.

This will be like that time when we infiltrated the Dark Elven Fortress.

"Take care, both of you."

Yumiko spoke first. She went forward and pinched Jayna's cheeks. Her grin probably annoyed her a bit.

I'm not sure whether her worried expression is about our well-being or about the fact that I wouldn't be with her. They just arrived in this world and during the two days we're together. The two of them showed how much they wanted to stick close to me.

"Daisuke. I think Yumiko is jealous of me."

Jayna said which made the latter stop pinching her cheeks.

Yumiko then turned her head away, as a hint of red flooded her face.

"Don't worry, I'll spend more time with you once we come back, alright?"

"T-that's not what I'm worried about! Uhm. I admit I do think about it but I'm honestly worried about you two going out there, you know?"

Yumiko immediately turned back and explained herself.

Once she finished speaking, I pulled her in my arms and kissed her.

"We'll be careful. Take care of things here with Sofiel and Fleur."

Upon seeing what I did, Sofiel who's waiting for her turn couldn't restrain herself anymore as she pulled the innocent Fleur with her.

"Darling, we need some love too."

"Huh? Why are you dragging me with you? I'm still content with the time I spent with him."

Err… There are only four of them now and it's already like this. I wonder what will happen when my nine Companions gather?

Because of that, with the instigation by Sofiel, we spent a few minutes to satisfy their so-called 'future longing for me'.

Ah. Only Sofiel called it like that. Yumiko and Fleur just went with the flow.

In any case, that's a satisfying moment with them. I will also miss them after all. If not for the territories that need protection, I will take them all with me.

"I learned a Haste Spell, Daisuke. Do you want me to use it?"

Jayna asked while we were flying through the sky while riding her miniature Spirit Ocean. She also got one after reaching Transcendence.

"Sure. That will be good for your Elemental Spell's Proficiency. By the way, how many spells did you learn?"

After adapting to the Elemental Energy and assimilating the Elemental Pathway, the two of them browsed Sofiel's Spell Repository, or rather, the Great Protector's Church's Spell Repository. However, all of the spells in there were Light Element-base due to the nature of the Luxians.

Due to that, I brought them to Serenia to browse inside the Academy's Library. They spend a day there to familiarize themselves with the new Pathway as well as pick or create their own Elemental Spells.

"You all told us to not rush it for the stronger spells. I only learned two 9-nodes Elemental Spell, one Earth Element, and one Fire Element-base. And below it, I picked 4 more Elemental Spells of varying numbers of nodes. This Haste Spell is one. It can speed up my Spirit Ocean."

Jayna excitedly said before a Spell Nucleus appeared in front of her.

I guess her curiosity over her new Mortal Pathway and the desire to show off in front of me made her this excited.

"I will be in your care then."

"Yes! Just sit back and provide the direction where to go."

Dark World Zone. If there's a Transcendent guarding there, it will be like he's fighting inside the Dark World. Will it give him an advantage? Certainly.
