Chapter 423: Interrogating the Descendant (1/2)
Feeling the pain from his shoulders, the descendant squirmed as he tried to get out of my grasp.
Unfortunately, that's impossible. As he endured the pain from my grip, I continued.
We're still flying anyway. Moreover, Nysia used the Sanguine Aegis for transportation. Although she wouldn't be able to use it indefinitely because of the insufficient technology, our Ultimate Metagens could be used as a convenient mode of transportation. Furthermore, the Specialized Metagens of Leianne and the others were left behind to upgrade it into Ultimate Metagens. Also, even if the Specialized Metagens could now be piloted by any other Source Energy, its engine still needed the specific Meta Energy, rendering it to be a fancy car as well.
Perhaps we would only be able to use Metagens without any restriction in the same Psyche-type World.
Because I still couldn't simultaneously control my real body and my Avatar at the same time, my real body was resting next to one of my girls. Nysia already had the destination set so I still have a few minutes to kill here.
”You got caught easily. For a descendant, isn't that embarrassing? You're lucky those girls thought of extracting what's in your head. If it's up to me there's no point doing that anymore.”
I went back in front of the descendant and delivered a slap on his other cheek.
After grunting in pain, he blinked thrice and squinted his eyes to see who's in front of him.
With a horrified expression on his face, the descendant mustered what's left of his strength to shout. However, what came out of his mouth was a disappointment. The idiot wasted that strength of his to ask that useless question.
”Huh?! Who?! Who are you?! Where am I?!”
”Oi. Isn't that line overused already? Get on with the times! Your question should be 'Why did you capture me?'. Now you lost your chance to get some real answers.”
Honestly, I don't think this guy can provide sufficient information.
I already learned enough from Irja and Alwyn after all.
Even though Irja had outdated information due to being imprisoned for 20 years, her general knowledge consisted of something every Rank 2 Transcendent like this guy possessed. And Alwyn currently has all the time in her hands to gather information while she's waiting for the issue of the massacred personnel at Portal Camp to die down.
Just two days ago, Alwyn informed me about the movements of the 19 Tribes managing the opened Portals.
Because of two more Portals being closed, they started mobilizing more Transcendents, especially Rank 2 to continue sending them down to the remaining opened Portals.
Nonetheless, she told me not to worry too much about it as unrest started to happen in their world. Around five days after we descended to the World of Barbarian, more Dimensional Space manifested and most of them were located at the 19 tribes' territories.
Even if there's hidden importance about the Mortal Worlds that they hadn't broadcasted to the whole world, they couldn't ignore those Dimensional Spaces or else, their territories will be ravaged by another Transcendent World's experts.
In any case, I shouldn't let my Companions' efforts go to waste. Even if there's only a small chance, he might be holding to information about those Space Vessels and their destination. Moreover, since he's a descendant, he certainly owned a crystal that could let him contact his father or whoever sent him down in this Mortal World.
Well, I'm not keen on the chances but it's better than nothing.
This isn't my first time interrogating someone anyway. Let's see if he would be able to disown his family to escape the excruciating pain he would be put under.

Unaware that the strongest among them was already caught, the couple of Noxian Transcendents and the Dark World Transcendents who got provoked by Fleur's Transcendent Spell continued their pursuit.
However, that's all they managed to achieve. Pursuing Fleur who eventually stopped and blocked each and every attack they sent, be it Physical or Energy-based.
With her control over the Water Element, she created a thick and impenetrable Water Barrier that stopped whatever they threw at her.
Utilizing her mastered Elemental Spells, her counterattacks were also swift. Just by their difference in UPL, Fleur was at the absolute advantage.
If she put her mind to it, picking them off one by one was a definite possibility with her current strength. Moreover, just by engulfing them in her Aquatic Domain and conjuring her Aquatic Beasts to attack them, all of them were pushed back and separated.
Although Sofiel was aware that they would be provoked with that high-key assault, she was amazed upon seeing the eight Transcendents becoming like crazed dogs chasing after Fleur even outside the confines of their territory and even after being aware of her strength.
According to their original plan and assumption, they would go back immediately upon noticing that they were lured out.
