The Ultimate Support Character

Looking closely, she\'s also a woman. However, compared to the beauty of my wife, the woman was average at best. She neither has the figure nor grace that could rival Nysia\'s mature yet innocent charms. Moreover, her forehead was wrinkly. She looked like someone who was already past her prime.

No. It\'s more apt to say that she passed half of her lifespan as a Rank 3 Transcendent.

Most likely, she had already stagnated at that level for countless years without seeing any hopes of breaking through to Rank 4.

Judging by what she\'s wearing, a skin-tight yellow suit reminiscent of latex. It\'s adorned with various addons of blinking lights and steaming energy. Imagine a Power Rangers without the helm.

Obviously, it\'s an Output Enhancing Equipment much like the World of Meta\'s Powergen.

Without even trying to guess, his disdainful and haughty attitude gave away her origin. A Transcendent from a Psyche-type world. And based on the Level 2 Psyche-type Source Energy she was currently flaunting, she came from a Transcendent World with advanced technology that\'s a lot better than the attainment of the World of Meta or the current Earth.

As her Source Energy poured out of her lifted hand, some kind of Spatial Storage opened up above. It shared similar properties as the Kouryuu\'s Ancestral Estate. A subdimension of sorts but in this case, it\'s just a subspace used as storage.

Inspecting closely, a circular bracelet was being fed with her Source Energy. And using the ability or technology imbued in it, it\'s the one generating the storage subspace.

Normal Source Energy being wouldn\'t be able to survive in it but if it\'s things like equipment, then it\'s a convenient device to have.

Nonetheless, judging from the amount of Source Energy she needed to activate it as well as the size she\'s managing, the technology was most likely still in its infancy stage.

Earth, of days past, already surpassed that.

"Behold! My world\'s strongest Framegear! The Thorny Queen!" The woman boisterously declared as the subspace spit out a similarly towering humanoid frame.

It completely dwarfed Nysia\'s Sanguine Aegis. Besides, the alloy used in it seemed to be blessed by their own Source Energy, giving it a blinding glow even before the Transcendent rode it.

"What is that junk? Watch how I scrap that!" Nysia didn\'t back down. Instead, her Meta Pathway\'s awakened ability; Defense Control quickly whirled into existence.

While piloting her Sanguine Aegis that\'s half the size of her opponent\'s Thorny Queen, she charged fearlessly, her morning star as well as the rhombus shield wielded in both hands.

With her defense boosted up to the highest possible she could reach by her Transcendent Pathway, Nysia also used her ability to manipulate her opponent\'s defense, lowering it down to the point that it could probably be pierced and crushed by her without so much as an effort.

Or so that\'s what she\'s aiming for.

However, her opponent wasn\'t that simple. As a glorified Rank 3 Transcendent, she shouldn\'t be underestimated at any cost. And that\'s considering our current strength.

Before Nysia\'s morning star could bash against her opponent\'s Framegear, an explosion of Source Energy occurred before a thunderous mechanical sound erupted.

In front of Nysia, a sharp, vicious thorn the size of a thick pillar jutted out from the Thorny Queen and completely halted her advance.

Since the target of her ability was her opponent\'s bulky chest, hitting the thorn made a ringing sound of metal clashing to a harder metal.

Even without seeing her face, I could imagine Nysia being hit by the backlash of hitting something too hard for her.

"See that? Soon enough, you\'ll be filled with holes!" A burst of erratic laughter echoed from the Rank 3 Transcendent as she made her move this time.

At this point, I swiftly made a move, sending Nysia every buff I could give her.

Furthermore, Hikari who copied some of my buff skills also went near her to layer another, albeit inferior, buff, raising Nysia\'s early Rank 3 Transcendent prowess to middle or even late Rank 3.

On the other side, Fleur who blocked the other Rank 3 Transcendent was having an easier time. She\'s a certified Rank 2 Transcendent and someone whose attainment neared the middle of it. Add the bonus stats from me and other buffs enhancing her, the weaker Rank 3 Transcendent became a plaything to her.

Her Water Elemental Magic was extremely compatible with her Spirit Ocean giving her the edge to dominate her opponent.

Furthermore, on her staff, the manifestation of the 2nd realm of assimilating the Spirit-type properties took the form of something like a smooth rope as it curled around it.

Every time she would cast a spell, the Spirit-type properties would be imbued in it.

Even if Fleur\'s opponent was someone who was in the 3rd realm of his Transcendent Pathway, his only advantage was his more abundant Energy Capacity.

That allowed him to take more hits rather than be defeated easily by spending his overflowing energy on his defense.

"Fleur, just hit me up when you needed help. I\'ll enhance your skills."

"Yes. But I can do this. I\'ll show you that I\'m now this strong. Our… child will be the same in the future." With a confident tone, Fleur swiftly answered. But in the end, she became extremely bashful as she looked back to glance at me with a refreshing smile on her lips.

Uh… Although we\'ve done it multiple times already, we\'re making sure not to let her conceive early. We needed more strength to give our children a stable future, after all… But I guess, it\'s not bad to think about it.

After watching their battles and making sure that they\'d be fine against their opponents, I had Dannae recharge the Particle Cannon while I soared higher to face the remaining seven Rank 3 Transcendents.

My eyes fell upon the three who ordered Dannae\'s death.

Surely, they\'re the strongest among all of them.

Late Rank 3 Transcendents whose UPL is in four digits.

"Greetings. Must you target my little Companion? If you don\'t mind, I will be your opponent."

"Fool! Just because you dealt with the World\'s Will easily, doesn\'t mean you\'re strong enough to face us. Even I could trample over it!"

One of the three replied to me. He looked like your typical barbarian. But he possessed one distinctive feature. His tail.

From afar it looked like a horse tail as it swayed behind him. However, after further inspection, they felt close to tentacles. Is it a feature of his race? Looks disgusting.

"Is that so? Why don\'t you try me then? I promise I won\'t kill you." I issued a taunt.

"How arrogant! Careful or you might bite your tongue. There\'s no such thing as surrender here."

Really like a barbarian, he\'s so easily provoked.

"You don\'t have to worry. We won\'t attack here if we\'re not confident. Do you think you can stop us from destroying this world?"

By intentionally telling them our objective here, I was already trying to fish for information.

And sure enough, I wasn\'t disappointed.

"Destroy?! You…! What organization are you from?!"

That\'s his immediate question? Does the Overworld Serpent have rival organizations? Or is it a league of Natural Worlds working against them?

"Guess?" I smirked. I need to agitate him more. That way he would cough out more information.

Obviously, words could only take me part of the way, the real challenge in fishing for information is…

"Is that how you want to play? See how I beat it out to you! Ferne, Olive, this guy is mine!"

Right. Provoking more to have him attack me.

See how he revealed the name of the other two Transcendents. Furthermore, it confirmed that they\'re the bigshots of this world.

"Sure, sure." One of the two, possibly Ferne shrugged. His eyes were actually focused on Yuko rather than me.

Is he trying to…? No matter which world, perverts abound.

"Suit yourself. This is boring. Pssh." And the last of the two is another woman. However, with a veil covering half of her face, there\'s no way to find out if she\'s beautiful or not.

Ah. Well, that\'s not important. She\'d still die here anyway.

After observing them, I also checked the movements of the other four Rank 3 Transcendents.

And judging from how they already flew out of wherever they were, they\'re gearing up to join the fray.

Good thing our overall strength rose already after that harvest in the Chaosworld.

If before my Companions had to group up to face one Rank 3 Transcendent and lose against him, now, they possess enough strength to beat one.

This is great. I only thought of destroying the world but they\'ve given my Companions the chance to gather experience in a high-level battle like this.
