Chapter 394: Back to the World of Meta (1/2)

”Caila, have you become accustomed to your new Pathway?”

Among the three, only Caila picked the Physique-type Brute Energy and because of her fondness with the Pillars, she didn't hesitate in assimilating to it as soon as she got the Flux Energy State after becoming one of my Companions.

Having her Grand Knight System plus the new Physique-type Pathway with all the abilities she got from it; Jewel Skills, Crown Skill, Pillars, even not being a Transcendent, she could now go toe-to-toe against a Transcendent without receiving any external help. Well, defeating one was still a question since her UPL was being limited by her Mortal Body.

And after becoming a Transcendent, defeating a normal Rank 1 Transcendent will not be a problem anymore. For her 3rd Pathway, I'm thinking for her to get the Spirit-type or Psyche-type. Well, that will be her choice now.

For Reinys, I advised her to get the Elemental-type and Spirit-type. With her Spells consisting of fire types, she would possibly become like Fleur, a full Fire Elemental and the Spirit-type might give her a Transformation Skill that could further enhance that.

For Noelle, considering her Blessings and System, Elemental-type and Psyche-type were probably better for her. Awakening an evolving ability from the Psyche-type would give her some other means apart from being full support. Her stats were also rising anyway. Even now, she could beat Rank 4 Mortal and below by hitting them with her staff.

”Yes! There's no problem anymore. I guess it's now not bad being your Companion. I'll pamper you, as your older sister, from time to time.” Caila grinned and tapped my shoulder. However, upon noticing the other girls staring at us, she awkwardly stepped away.

Well, she's already one of them and their stares weren't even that menacing. She's the only one who found it awkward.

In any case, with that out of the way, I stood in front of them.

To send us off, Raiden appeared along with some of his generals and the Barbarian women who he would marry once everything settled down.

With the Old Man coming with us, he now has to appoint a new one who will do his administrative work that will be left behind.

There's no threat anymore and this world, like the World of System and World of Spirit, can now rebuild and perhaps head towards a new era where Transcendents will start appearing.

Ophelia also arrived to send us off. Like with Caila and Noelle, I also turned her into one of my Companions to give her a boost in strength, raising her UPL to reach the threshold. Three days later, her Transcendent Trials will start.

Right. I'm already starting to exploit this new discovery.

Well, in any case, I won't add just about anyone. I'll be the judge on who I will take in. Moreover, I don't think the System is this broken to allow an unlimited number of Companions. Just the bonus I'm getting from the registered Heroes was already absurd enough as it is. A limit might show itself soon. Hopefully, not anytime soon.

Although I added her, Ophelia will still be left behind in this world to manage the newly formed Great Whiteshade Tribe. Raiden finally let them go out of his tribe's umbrella, giving it the former name of Avelin's small tribe. Adding 'Great' was like an honorary title.

In the first place, as soon as it was formed, it's already working independently. Technically, it's my tribe with Avelin and Erin.

Due to this, Ophelia's gratitude to me was already sky-high. She promised that once the Great Whiteshade Tribe stabilized she would follow us and stay at my side.

Even without that, I already planned to pick her up in the future and check on her regularly. As one of my Companions, our destinies are already tied to each other. Our future relationship can be built up slowly. There's no point rushing on it.

”Raiden, good luck and congrats on your marriages. If it was proven that they're the ones destined to you, they might become your most trusted allies.”

I said that as a joke. But considering it happened to me, for sure his destiny will pull up those women around him. Even if he's just doing that out of obligation and promises, it's just a matter of time before he found someone that's tied to his destiny. I just don't know if it will be one or more than one like me.

”I know. You already set an example that I can follow… See you on Earth. I don't think I will still be needed in your journey to every world. Looking at your lineup… anyone will be terrified as long as they're not those Rank 3 Transcendents and above that you told me about.” Raiden waved his hand before turning to the Old Man, ”Uncle Reol, thank you for all your guidance. Without you helping me, the Heavenly Lightning Tribe will not be this way. It's time for you to spread the wings you furled and create your new legend. I'm sure we'll meet again soon and we will be able to fight on the same battlefield again.

”Chieftain, I will always be a part of your Heavenly Lightning Tribe. Treat this as me being your representative.”

Upon hearing that, Raiden deeply bowed to him.

With our farewells done, I stepped forward and activated the Portal Skill.

As it is something that will let us travel to another world. The energy needed to open one from this was more than I expected. Moreover, the World's Will of this world needed to give his silent confirmation before the space in front of me gradually opened up.

After that, it still needed to drill into the space and arrive at the World of Meta wherein it also needed confirmation from the World's Will at that world.
