The Ultimate Support Character

That meeting with the World\'s Will only ended up with me recovering my memories and knowing that the plan that started with me diverted to how it originally was.

And that guy, even if he\'s still somewhat hateful from how he acted, he at least followed the plan to a certain extent.

In the sea of Mortal Ranks that was left behind, he picked a few promising ones with specific abilities to be frozen and be released out of the world in due time. Freezing a Mortal Rank was naturally not an easy feat to do. If it was a Sage or a Transcendent, he could just let them on their own.

But because of me, every Transcendent and Sage on Earth became extinct. He had no choice but to pick among them.

And those Mortal Ranks composed of the sly old man. Hajime and the man I called my father during this second life, Sojiro. Apart from the two, there were eight more Mortal Ranks that the World\'s Will selected based on their abilities who will be preparing the world as it leads to the point of our reincarnations.

Apart from Yuko and me… Yumiko and the other Heroes, who were at the same age as us, were pre-selected by that World\'s Will. Their abilities were all that was left behind by some of the Sage Stage experts of Earth and allied Sage Worlds that I dragged down with us at that time.

If I recall correctly, Yumiko\'s Spirit Channeling doesn\'t originate from Earth. From its name, it\'s easy to guess that it should be most suited as a Skill from a Spirit-type Pathway.

The Possessor of that ability was a Rank 3 Sage from an allied Spirit-type Sage World.

As to how it appeared on Yumiko, it\'s the World\'s Will\'s doing.

​ While I was desperately sacrificing everyone for their Source Energy, that guy extracted Abilities from various experts.

Like I said, I might be responsible for starting it but that guy\'s contribution was bigger than mine.

At the moment, even when I already restored the Source Energy of Earth, that guy wasn\'t fully awakened yet.

Our World was still vulnerable against the incoming threat from the rogue Invasive Worlds.

This was why he was urging me to grow stronger. The Principal and my Father\'s group were insufficient to repel those incoming threats…

"Dai-kun!"

"Darling!"

"Husband!"

"Daisuke!"

When I opened my eyes, Yuko, Sofiel, Nysia and Irja\'s faces filled up my field of vision.

They all had the same worried expression on their faces.

Most likely, it\'s because of the change that happened to me while I was there.

Judging from how messy the room was currently and how I ended up lying on the ground with my head resting on someone\'s lap, it was all caused by me, huh?

"I\'m fine, there\'s no need for all of you to worry." I smiled as I slowly lifted my body.

However, I was prevented by the one giving me a lap pillow, pushing me back down.

I lifted my chin to sneak in a glance at the girl and saw Elise, lovingly brushing my hair and patting my head.

"Stay still for a while. Your Energy had gone berserk earlier." Elise slightly lowered her head to meet my gaze before a gentle smile bloomed from her lips.

My Energy had gone berserk, huh?

It\'s probably because of that.

After all this time… it finally leveled up.

Inside my mind, a series of notifications were glowing in gold as if it wanted to be seen as soon as my consciousness returned from the World\'s Will\'s Space.

However, because my mindset about my Companions after recovering my memories didn\'t really change, I pushed the golden notifications to the side.

In fact, they became even more precious now. Although most of them were someone not from my previous life… What I felt for them was still the same. Before anything else, they\'re still the most important to me.

I could do the same thing I did before to continue being with them.

After telling them that I was fine and showing it with my actions to ease their worries, I stood up from Elise\'s lap and pulled her in my embrace before I focused my mind on that notification that the now sentient System was trying to make me notice.

After a few months of snail-like progress, I finally reached Level 3 Adaptability.

World Assimilation, huh?

In all honesty, with my memories recovered, the true nature of this Unique Ability of mine is just the crystallization of my identity as someone who reached the Divine Stage.

It\'s all meant to be my shortcut to return to that stage as quickly as possible.

Or in other words… It\'s my cheat.

Flux Energy State is something every Divinity or Divine Stage possesses. It may not be called Flux Energy State but upon reaching that stage one\'s Energy will be composed of properties of every Source Energy type.

And this World Assimilation… It\'s something I hadn\'t experienced because of what happened as soon as I reached Divine Stage but it\'s just a way for the Divinity to never run out of Energy. It can allow them to stay in space without depleting their Source Energy.

In exchange for the benefits they would be granting a lower world, those worlds will become a Divinity\'s faucet that would endlessly supply them with their Source Energy.

It\'s also what I forcefully used on every Mortal and Transcendent World back then. I funneled those worlds\' Source Energy to myself. As for the Sage Worlds… I subdued them through sheer force of being a Divine Stage.

Well, World Assimilation was somewhat restricted because I still needed permission from the World\'s Will or it\'s just because I wouldn\'t be able to forcefully do it with my current meager strength.

Now that this World Assimilation was what I got at only Level 3 of Adaptability. Reaching Level 4 for this ability might be virtually impossible.

Unless it underwent a change when I was waiting for my reincarnation, I wouldn\'t expect it to progress after this.

Nonetheless, successfully leveling it up at this moment, it\'s the best tool for us not only to complete our Mortal Pathway but also to blitz through our Transcendent Pathways.
