The Ultimate Support Character-Chapter 491 Space Oddities

With the days that have passed, among all my Companions only some of them had yet to complete their Mortal Pathway.

There were Dannae, Noelle, Caila and Reinys.

Lexie and Ophelia too since they're away from us. At times, I would send my Incarnation to them or I would visit them personally to see the state of their world.

With the ease of travel thanks to the World Assimilation, going there to see them was like going to a neighboring street. Lexie was always scowling whenever she saw me while Ophelia was becoming less and less formal which was what I wanted from her. Lexie's scowl was understandable as she couldn't wrap her head around the prospect of slowly being drawn to me and as for Ophelia, she began being persuaded by my words as we began to spend time with each other more and more.

I was really looking forward to bringing them with me when we leave but… I would leave that to fate.

As for the others who were eagerly training on the island, they managed to complete their Pathway.

As expected, their Main Pathway was from the Source Energy Type they assimilated, except Yuko and Yumiko. The two girl's Main Pathway switched to become the Psyche-type.

Yuko's System-type Mortal Pathway or the Hero System became stuck from its completed state.

Nonetheless, the other Pathway's properties she was assimilating to her Main Pathway which covered her Foresight and Premonition was, as expected, the System-type.

The way it was being assimilated was that… Yuko was beginning to see more functions of her Abilities and Skills through the use of a special system interface.

Obviously, it's not just that, because it was like she's redoing her Psyche-type Pathway that she didn't really tread on because of assimilating to Psyche Energy and instantly awakening Foresight, she began exploring her Abilities and now… she's even scarier than before wherein she could predict attacks coming her way.

If she wanted to, she could even take on both Irja and Sofiel alone.

Irja's machine-gun-like Energy Attacks would be having a hard time hitting her and Sofiel who could make use of her Light Elemental Spell, Transformation Skills and Pillars were also being adeptly countered by Yuko.

Nonetheless, she had no way of winning against the two if it comes down to a fight until one side loses.

That's how strong they were now.

As for Yumiko. Because of her Spirit Channeling, she began assimilating the Spirit-type properties as her Transcendent Pathway.

When she completed her Mortal Pathway, the Higher Spirits from a Sage World descended and communicated with her. Some of them were telling her to visit their world to guide her through the more intricate path of Spirit Channeling while some were inquiring of the location of her world.

Nonetheless, she only answered enough to not jeopardize the location of the Earth. Who knows? Maybe someone among them was an enemy.

As for the other girls such as Erin and Avelin who were, when their Glimpse happened, the other Pathway's properties they were going to assimilate were different from each other.

Erin was assimilating Psyche-type while Avelin was assimilating Spirit-type.

Because of their new Pathways and that Transcendent Pathway, the two's combination was slowly becoming deadly. With Avelin playing the role of a tank and Erin as an assassin, I couldn't win against them anymore.

Well, that's the case when I was still stagnating in the middle of the 5th Realm and I wasn't using all of my Domains all at once.

With the Duel that was happening in front of us, Dannae and Jayna should be ill-matched since Dannae hadn't completed her Mortal Pathway yet.

However, to make it happen and to better train her in the use of her Amplification, Jayna proposed that she would only use her Spirit Pathway skills.

"Shouldn't you stop the sparring now, darling? Dannae was already about to lose. She did her best standing up against Jayna who's a genius at Energy Molding." Sofiel, who was on my other side, asked.

Just like she said, Dannae who was supposed to be the currently weakest among my Companions who followed me here on Earth already proved her mettle against someone sufficiently stronger than her.

Her Ability was somewhat of a support type and it would bloom better with her prepared tools that were Amplified many times over. Most of her skills were also some kind of buff. However, thanks to her two Pathways from the Flux Energy State, she could now become a frontliner like everybody else.

Following Sofiel's words, I stood up and clapped my hands. "Jayna, Dannae, let's stop for now. We have somewhere to go. All of you, come with me. There's a better opponent waiting for you."

Upon hearing my voice, not only the two who were fighting against each other, the other spectators who were surrounding me all stood up excitedly.

"Will you let us play that game you made, Daisuke?" the innocent Avelin excitedly asked. pan(da-n0vel.c)om

Among everyone else, she's the one who's the most interested in it.

"No. Remember the two Rank 3 Transcendents? Ah. One of them has already returned to being a Mortal but the other one, I will let you all fight him one on one."

In the Virtual Simulation of course. There's no need to risk their lives when they could do it there. Although the sense of realism would be off because they wouldn't really get injured or die against him, I just wanted them to accustom themselves to higher-level fights.

I already thought of our first destination. ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m

It will not be a world but… a certain World Ruin that was inhabited by Space Oddities. Naturally, we're not going there to play but to continue training them on what we will be facing.

Besides, those Space Oddities were the fastest way to progress with our Pathways when we only needed Energy to fill it up.

Those Oddities weren't like the Space Beasts that were normally harmless. They were beings born from the Chaotic Energy existing in the wide Outer Space.

They were one of the hazards when it comes to Space Travels however, with how fast Space Vessels were, those Oddities were somewhat trivial.

People don't normally seek them out since those Oddities were extremely dangerous. They could damage one's Pathway progress. Because of their nature as Chaotic Energy beings, they possessed that Energy in their bodies and if one was hit by one of their attacks, they could burn one's Source Energy.

However, at the same time as they were dangerous, the Chaotic Energy that would burst from their bodies once they died would be available for absorption and those were more efficient than Absorbing Source Energy or Energy Stones.

Those Space Oddities were unable to attack a world since they would be purified by a world's Source Energy and its Core instead so… even Mortal World's were fairly safe from them. Unless they could endure that purification enough to cause destruction.

Back during our first lives, Earth found a World Ruin that was a place where Space Oddities were being born and they were being used as training grounds.

When everything went down and the World's Will began steering the world towards this desolate place, it was also pulled along and was left behind in a different World Zone, hidden among Planets that didn't have any Source Energy.

Fortunately, the World's Will marked its coordinates.

The girls who had memories of their past lives were aware of that place and they were excited to visit it again for training so… in a month's time, we'll be leaving the Earth and once we return, all of us would be at least Rank 4 Transcendents.

It would be a long trip if we also found someplace we would go to so… we would be leaving the Earth to the sly old man, my father and the other old fossils to defend them against another wave of attacks from the Invasive Worlds and Overlord Serpents.

Well, that trip would also be our chance to gather information about this organization.

For now, we're going to finish what I set out to do in this world first.

Opening a Portal to the EDA Headquarters, we were immediately met with the Transcendent EDA Officers with General Yamada in the lead.

We're in a control room and the screens that could be seen in front of us were showing the reception about the release of the 'Pathways'.

In less than an hour since its launch, 'Pathways' instantly became a sensation around the world.

Yuko, Yumiko, Nysia and Elise who had the chance to try it were having mixed feelings about how the Earthlings were receiving the improvised Virtual Simulation.

Well, those from the World of Meta were calling it like that. They're really not that fond of the game aspects of the Full Immersion Chamber but they were fascinated with the combination of Virtual Simulation and Absorption Room. By now, the World of Meta has begun creating another type of Chamber that didn't have the limitations of what I ordered to make.

Since there were only weaker enemies in that world now, they began looking for alternative routes to train the denizens, especially the soldiers of the United Alliance. By combining those two, they could continue fighting stronger enemies in the form of the Dark World denizens inside the simulation while their real bodies were passively absorbing the energy released inside the chamber.

After greeting us and telling us the current situation of the world, he brought us to a conference room where the highest commanding officer of the EDA currently was.

As soon as the door opened, the Asian woman and one of the fossils, Neliza, welcomed me with slight ardor in her voice.

"Sir Daisuke, the Virtual Simulation was already prepared and… the Rank 3 Transcendent was already inside. You can start anytime."
