The Ultimate Support Character

During the time when Daisuke\'s group passed the boundary of Destiny-0 World Zone, Alwyn who was captured by the denizens of the World she landed in was still in there, confined and restrained.

As it turned out, her attempt to scare that Rank 2 Transcendent didn\'t totally work.

He got scared true, however, he\'s still someone who couldn\'t defy the woman favored by the World\'s Will.

"That idiot. After everything I told him, he deflated once more as if that Heavenly Mistress was the absolute ruler of this world. What\'s that about being favored by the World\'s Will? She\'s still a Rank 1 Transcendent! That coward!" Alwyn cursed under her breath.

In fact, she\'s already aware that being conferred that title was giving her the authority to rule the world. But if she didn\'t vent her frustration to that woman, she\'d explode inside.

What\'s a World\'s Will? If she\'s truly what that Transcendent claimed then she\'d be the same as Daisuke, someone who could wield the World\'s Will authority.

Alwyn just couldn\'t find the reason why that Heavenly Mistress wouldn\'t do her own interrogation or why she\'s trying to force a confession from her when the Transcendent, not just once or twice, reiterated to her that Alwyn didn\'t have any connection to the Invasive World that attacked them.

"At least the tortures stopped. I recovered more than half of my physical strength. I can already force myself out of these restrictive tools. But I have to know where my Necklace is. It\'s still bound to me so there\'s no way for them to force it open."

Alwyn decided to bide her time until her physical strength returned to its optimal condition before making her move.

Although her only source of information was that Transcendent who would visit her thrice a day, Alwyn managed to make a rough sketch of the power structure of the Transcendent World.

Even though there were numerous countries and kingdoms in this Transcendent World that were all vying for territories and more power, the absolute authority belonged to what they called the Heavenly Empire.

The Heavenly Empire is obviously ruled by the Heavenly Mistress, someone extremely favored by the World\'s Will.

According to that Transcendent, twenty years ago their world received its first visitors in the form of one Space Vessel.

At first, they welcomed the strangers from outside their world with open arms, treating them like respected visitors.

However, as it turned out, the passengers of that Space Vessel were scouts from an organization of Invasive Worlds called Overworld Serpent.

When Alwyn heard that, she remembered what Daisuke told him. His world was being targeted by the same organization. Moreover, he\'s suspecting that the other Great Ones had also signed up the Dark World to the same organization without the World\'s Will\'s consent.

"The real reason this world became too wary of outsiders is because of that. But what\'s the intention of the World\'s Will for letting me in without restricting me?"

That\'s still the thought that continued to linger in her mind. And only the World\'s Will could answer that.

"Anyway, I only need a few days. Better just leave this place than solve that mystery. That guy kept on contacting me but there\'s no way I could reply to him. Truly an idiot."

"Daisuke, I got in contact with the Exalted tasked to chase after Alwyn\'s Space Vessel. They lost her when Alwyn suddenly sped up. However, if what you say is true about her landing on a Transcendent World to replenish her Space Vessel\'s Source Energy fuel, she should only be at the adjacent World Zone."

More than a day after we entered a new World Zone, Remilia\'s voice rang in my head. News about Alwyn finally arrived.

"Thank you, Remilia. I still can\'t contact her through the crystal. Can you send me the coordinates of your World Zone?"

"Coordinates? I don\'t think we\'re using the same navigator."

"No. Everyone is using the same standard in navigating the different World Zones as set by the organization behind the Universal World Standards. We might differ in the technology used but the way they were being used to navigate this wide universe is the same."

"I heard about that... But I\'ve never checked on other worlds. Here then, mark it on your navigator. Density-2 World Zone 1-69."

1-69... I looked at the World Zone Navigator and checked the other indicator below Zone Density. It reads as 8-70.

Apart from Density-0, Density-1 and above will have that kind of number designation.

As for what they meant, the first number can only go from 1 to 9, with 9 being the designation for the densest World Zones and 1 the least dense. The number after the dash is just the designated address for that particular World Zone. Or in easier terms, it\'s Layer-Block.

Based on the reading in our World Zone Navigator, we\'re at Density-1 World Zone Layer 8, Block 70.

Apparently, the Density-0 World Zone where the Earth was located was next to the second highest layer of Density-1.

As for how that was possible, imagine the known universe as a three-dimensional upright cone. You can go up, down, left, right, forward, backward and any direction you want to be.

Density-0 is outside of that cone surrounding its bottom.

The Earth\'s World Zone or Star Cluster is most likely located at the side where it\'s adjacent to Layer 8. Hence, we didn\'t need to travel from the lowest Layer 1.

To go from here to the World Zone where the Dark World was located, we needed to go up 2 layers. And considering that the blocks are close to each other, we could go to Block 69 first and go up from there or go up first before traveling to Block 69 of Density-2 Layer 1.

This also explained how Rhellor and Onimbus managed to punch open portals from the Dark World to the Mortal Worlds they tried to invade. They\'re only two layers apart.

Moreover, being an Invasive World, if they go to a higher layer on Density-2, the number of Natural Worlds that could attack them would increase. So, staying at a lower layer was actually smart considering they have their Rank 5 Transcendents. Those Natural Worlds trying to attack it whenever the Dimensional Barrier weakened had weaker powerhouses. Perhaps Zaraya and the others had already taken advantage of that fact to assimilate a Transcendent World. A more nutritious meal than a Mortal World.

"1-69. Alright, since it\'s hard to pinpoint the current location of the Invasive Worlds coming to Earth, I\'ll steer our Space Vessel there once I link up with the Mortal Worlds connected to Earth."

Although I made it sound like I could reach that layer easily, it will still take days or weeks. Moreover, it was only a day since we entered this World Zone. Although we luckily passed by one Natural Mortal World. The World\'s Will there rejected my offer of World Assimilation.

First, apart from the Chaosworld that I told them about, I also wanted to at least find the World of Barbarian and the World of Meta.

There\'s Lexie and Ophelia after all.

I know where the World of System is located since I created it. It\'s at Block 71. The Dark World became a Transcendent World so... it already left its original location where I created it.

"Beat it. I will go out and look for her on the pretext of catching a traitor. Leave Alwyn to me, I\'ll be joining her. Great One Illiana also approved of this."

"You\'re going to blow your cover?"

"No. I told you, I have my excuse. Don\'t contact me in three days. I have to be careful when going out to avoid suspicion."

"Sure. Once again. Thank you, Remilia. Won\'t you be my Companion?"

"Fulfill your promise of going back before talking about that."

With that as her last message, Remilia cut off the communication between us.

The number of what we had to do was stacking but at least, we still had a clear view of what we needed to do.

Continuing to progress until I gain the strength to take the Dark World back to my control.

Illiana and Worldy were waiting for me and even if I wanted to check on them, Worldy couldn\'t be contacted and Illiana was heavily monitored. A simple sending of her consciousness to meet Worldy could be detected, what more if she used a communication crystal that would send Source Energy messages outside their world?
