When I returned to the Kingfisher, apart from Irja and Sofiel that were standing guard in case space debris or another Space Vessel drew near, everyone was absorbing Chaotic Energy in a modified room for absorption.
"Darling, how did it go?"
Sofiel instantly stood up from her seat as soon as I entered the Space Vessel. And even if Irja didn't say anything, she's also waiting for me to tell them the result.
"I succeeded. Here." I smiled and opened my palm to show them how Chaotic Energy could now be controlled by me.
Truthfully, if I tried that stunt against a matured Chaotic Will from a Chaosworld that has existed for thousands of years, it would rather choose to be destroyed rather than succumb to a Source Energy being like me.
In any case, as soon as the two women saw that, their mouths turned into 'O' shape. They're also not that keen on the chances of me succeeding in that endeavor.
After the initial surprise, the two women's eyes stared at me intensely as they waited for me to tell them the entire process.
However, halfway through it, the small Incarnation of the Chaotic Will appeared from inside that Chaotic Energy vessel. He didn't look like a tiny bug anymore, but another small boy wearing a beetle costume.
"Quick! Corrupt them! This one needs nourishment from Source Energy beings!"
The beetle-boy smugly ordered at me as he pointed at the two women in front.
"Never. Never ever think of my Companions as nourishment for you!" I flicked the boy's tiny head and followed by a jab from Tem who manifested right after it.
"That's preposterous! I will relay this to my real body!"
"You're disconnected to it already, idiot beetle." Tem threw another jab but the beetle-boy deflected it using his beetle horn-shaped hat.
If at first, the two girls were curious and somewhat terrified, watching the two small incarnations banter like that put a smile on their lips.
"How adorable..."
"Cute..."
Sofiel and Irja muttered as they moved next to me.
"This one is not cute!"
[I'm not adorable!]
And as soon as they heard it, the two small incarnations instantly rebutted.
In any case, from how they appeared now and how they tried to banter against each other, it's nothing short of cute.
When my other Companions emerged from the Absorption room and saw the debacle between the two small incarnations, they also exclaimed the same, even Caila who seemed to be not fond of cute things expressed her fondness of the two.
And in this way, I told them everything, even the possible secret of how Divinities could progress after merging all five Source Energy types into one.
Because what I shared with them when I reached Transcendence was only the Flux Energy State (Limited), they wouldn't be able to do the same thing as me.
However, with the help of my new ability to control Chaotic Energy, helping them expel the chaotic properties inside their bodies was enhanced. Moreover, the chaotic properties could be absorbed by the Chaotic Will incarnation.
On the same note, even though I wouldn't be able to absorb the inherent Chaotic Energy in the vast space, those inside a Chaosworld were now possible and I would never be tainted by it anymore. Unless it's a Chaotic Energy that was as dense as a Divinity's Source Energy.

Two days later, the Kingfisher continued on its journey.
The harvested Chaotic Energy from that Small Chaosworld was already absorbed by my Companions and the dragon couple. Even though I could fill it using my own Chaotic Energy, they rejected that idea.
The Small Chaosworld could be said to be in its totally weakened state at the moment because of the lack of Space Oddities residing inside it. And in a way, it's relying on me to hasten its recovery.
Since I have a lot of Source Energy worlds connected to me, I set aside a part of what I was receiving from the faucet to be converted to Chaotic Energy.
That way, my Adaptability would continue progressing. At the moment, the Chaotic Energy vessel was only equivalent to a Rank 1 Transcendent. I needed time to better understand and control it.
"Uh... I think we reached another World Zone." Reinys, who was at the helm of the Space Vessel called out to us.
Just like she said, we had just reached the boundary of the World Zone where Earth and the Small Chaosworld are located.
Behind the Kingfisher, we could see a semi-transparent film that served as a boundary between different World Zones.
On the World Zone Navigator that was installed on the Space Vessel's control panels, it's now impossible to scan what's beyond that boundary.
If there's something where I could compare this, it would be like those non-open world game maps where each zone was separated.
"That's right. Look there." I pointed at the navigator's interface.
In there, there's a small indicator that measures Zone Density or, in other words, Chaotic Energy Density.
From 0, it changed to 1.
That meant that we finally left the outermost layer of this Universe.
Being an outdated product, World Zone Navigator only had that simple measurement. 1 means that the World Zone we entered just now would now be filled with more Level 1 Natural World.
If the Zone Density indicator didn't change, that meant we're going the wrong way, or rather, we traveled in another Density-0 World Zone. Instead of going upwards, we only went sideways.
Fortunately, World Zone Navigator had something similar to a compass so losing our way like that wouldn't happen unless we intentionally go sideways.
In any case, some of those Level 1 Worlds connected to Earth could be found here.
Back when I still hadn't recovered my memory, Irja explained the World Zones to me. Although she labeled it Level 1 and Level 2, that's just another way of labeling the Zone Density.
"Zone Density 1. This meant our own world might be out there, right?"
Ezyn asked with a little longing in his voice.
This guy, it's not even a month since we left and he's already feeling homesick.
"Yes, that's correct. You can feel it naturally and pinpoint its location once we draw near it."
Although it's possible for us to start our journey from one of those Mortal Worlds, I intentionally let us start from Earth.
As for the reason why... it's simply because Level 3 Source Energy was a higher quality fuel for the Kingfisher as well as I had to know where in this known Universe our world was located.
Either way, going back would be easier now. If we found one of those Mortal Worlds connected to Earth, we could land there and request for a Portal.
"I see... How mystifying. To have our eyes be opened to this. Thank you, Daisuke."
Instead of Ezyn, Yse thanked me. In a way, she's now stronger than Ezyn but as if she vowed to walk with her destined spouse, she's still acting as his support.
"Don't mention it. I actually wanted to know if your Eye of Destiny can grow further. I think Yuko already told you, seeing someone's destiny is not its only ability."
Upon hearing that, Yse nodded and Yuko also stepped forward. Informing me of the progress of imparting her knowledge about the Eye of Destiny to Yse.
"By the way, it seems like that hard love you're giving Ezyn has been tamed."
I could still remember that time when we first met... This woman, she's scarier than the Spirit King of the World of Spirit. But ever since coming with us to different worlds, she seemed to have changed and became gentler with Ezyn.
"Oh? That, huh? No comment."
"Daisuke! We're the only men here, can't you give me some slack?"
Yse smiled meaningfully while Ezyn immediately cried out.
Ah. I guess it's still happening privately. My bad.
