Confidently thinking that Yuko's group couldn't do anything to him, the long-nosed Transcendent calmly waited for her response.

"I'm afraid we cannot do that." Yuko answered, declining his 'polite' request.

There's just no way to show them the Source Energy core. Among them, only Daisuke or in this case, his avatar, knew about its location.

The Source Energy core was obviously the place where the World's Will of a world resides.

Its location was naturally unknown to its denizen and even if someone's consciousness was summoned to that place, they had no way to tell where it was.

No, it's not in another dimension, it's a tangible place that could be accessed.

Daisuke was the only one privy to its location because it was included in the memory from his past life. He was an Energy Incarnation and he was made by the World's Will itself. When he got the Physical Body and remembered what he truly was before inhabiting that body, he barged into that place to confirm that memory.

Hajime's group, although they froze in that place, they were released without knowing where that was.

If it's the location of a Mortal World's Source Energy core then Hajime knew some of the worlds'.

The World of Spirit denizens were known to be searching for the Spirit Ocean before. In truth, that Spirit Ocean was truly the Source Energy core and was existing somewhere else.

The World's Will of that world only made Daisuke believe that it also couldn't be found physically because of its fear against him.

At this point, apart from Daisuke, none of the Earthlings know about its location, even Yuko since she hadn't remembered everything yet.

"I see. That's disappointing." The long-nosed Rank 3 Transcendent signaled with his arm. "10 of you, kill them. The rest, go and search for the location of the Source Energy core."

By the time he finished his command, 10 of the uniformed Rank 2 Transcendents at the front simultaneously opened their Domain as they lunged towards Yuko's group.

Yuko, having seen what's about to happen using her Foresight flew up to meet the 10 while also opening her Domains from her three Pathways to resist theirs.

Legendary Hero Domain.

Heroic Empire.

And lastly, Perception Domain.

Thinking they're stronger than her, the 10 long-nosed Transcendents strengthen their domains to break hers.

However, as soon as they plunged themselves inside her multiple Domains, all of them halted in place as they suddenly saw themselves being besieged by their own apparition!

It was the effect of Yuko's Perception Domain, the domain perceived their future location and by using those as the base, the Domain would momentarily summon their future apparition to confuse them.

Those apparitions didn't have any attack power but the domain made it appear so.

While they were trying to defend against their future apparitions, Yuko then used that chance to deliver several attacks on them.

Naturally, a swift attack wouldn't be able to kill all of them but it would let the enemies see how strong she was, the other Rank 2 Transcendents who were about to scatter stopped in their tracks.

"We can't have you leave this place."

With her wings fully opened, Sofiel could be seen floating behind them.

When her wings flashed a blinding light, a small area became enclosed by light walls. Inside it, all of the remaining Rank 2 Transcendents were trapped inside.

Following that, from behind Sofiel, the other members of their group appeared, with weapons clutched in their hands.

Sofiel, Zerina, Caila and Dannae summoned their Pillar Guardians from the Physique-type Pathway, bolstering their numbers. No matter what, they're thoroughly outnumbered. If they fight them without using everything they have, the enemies only need to coordinate together to land their attacks on the girls.

Zerina and Caila then used their System generated skills to properly enhance those Pillar Guardians.

Caila could enhance their prowess through her Grand Knight System by temporarily Knighting the Pillar Guardians.

Right. She now has the ability to proclaim an individual a Knight granting them a slight boost in strength in exchange for her Energy. Naturally, it wasn't permanent and since the Pillar Guardians were from a different Pathway they all could be temporarily Knighted.

Zerina, on the other hand, made use of her Runes giving their Pillar Guardians unpredictability.

And Sofiel, using the Spirit-type Pathway's Transformation Skill, transformed herself into something like an Archangel. Two more pairs of white wings grew out of her back and her golden hair turned to silver.

By using her Light Elemental Spells while in that form, the Pillar Guardians, despite their different appearances, became covered in a Golden Light.

That's not all. Dannae got her own Transformation Skill. It's not as eye-catching as Sofiel's transformation but… it made her body grow into a more mature one. Her Amplification and Danger Perception of her antennas were doubled and tripled in efficiency.

As part of her Psyche-type Pathway's Skills, she could now sustain an Amplification buff on everyone's Energy. She covered not only the Pillar Guardians but also all of them inside the area enclosed by Sofiel.

Reinys positioned herself at the back. She's like mage who would be throwing her System and Elemental Spells from the backline.

Noelle, as usual, threw all her Blessings and every enhancing Elemental Spell on them.

Since she was acting as a full support, Noelle became the one in charge to maintain the Light Wall which isolated the 90 Transcendents.

Six of them against ninety or more. The odds of this fight were almost double of what the other groups were facing.

Nonetheless, all of them were confident with their abilities, in their mind, as long as they became wary of the different abilities of these Rank 2 Transcendents, they could overwhelm them with their higher UPL value.

Obviously, that's an optimistic view on their part. Even if their Pillar Guardians were thoroughly enhanced, none of those reached the Rank 2 Transcendent in strength.

Outside the light wall, Yuko finally defeated the 10 Rank 2 Transcendents who attacked her.

She's not alone after all. Daisuke's avatar remained to help her fight the Rank 3 Transcendent.

"I admit. You're stronger than you seem. No. You're way stronger. As expected of a denizen from a Sage World. And that one, he's a result of an Ability, am I correct?"

The long-nosed Rank 3 Transcendent clapped before pointing at Daisuke's Avatar.

Even after seeing his troops defeated and the large bulk trapped inside the Light Wall, he's still confidently standing next to their Space Vessel.

It's also a Space Vessel that was painted by a Space Beast's blood. The similarity it possessed to the other Space Vessels that landed on earth was too obvious.

They were all provided by a Sage World.

"It is correct. By the way, which Sage World is helping you?" Yuko landed next to Daisuke's Avatar.

She already heard some of Daisuke's speculation who was currently chasing after another Rank 3 Transcendent with Nysia.

Irja, at the other group, also voiced her doubt about the ones truly behind these Invasive Worlds.

According to Daisuke who used the crystal to simultaneously communicate with his Companions, it's not just Zaraya's group who's behind the attacks on Earth.

Most likely, when the burst of Divine Energy exploded years ago, a stronger Invasive World caught wind of it.

Gathering the Dark World, Xeno World, Nightwolf World and Arania World, they were probably being used as a vanguard. If all four Invasive Worlds failed, it's possible that the Level 3 Invasive World would be their next enemy.

But facing a Level 3 Invasive Sage World at this stage wasn't part of his plan. Even if he's a previous Divinity, his knowledge wasn't enough to bridge the gap in UPL.

It's still too early for them to face Sages. Moreover, according to him, there were things that they needed to get in some other World Zones. That's why he was planning to leave Earth and travel through the boundless space.

Those things were something they left behind when they were traveling across different worlds.

"Is it that obvious that a higher world is behind us? I suppose it is. Only suicidal Invasive Worlds will think about attacking a Sage World."

For the first time, the long-nosed Rank 3 Transcendent smirked. However, soon after that, his Transcendent Aura and Domain simultaneously opened, putting Yuko and Daisuke's Avatar inside their influence.

Despite not being the 2nd strongest among Daisuke's Companions, Yuko's ability was unique enough to bridge that gap.

Moreover, Daisuke's Avatar was already as strong as Rank 2 Transcendent with 400 UPL. With his assistance, they could stand their ground against a sufficiently strong Transcendent
