The Ultimate Support Character

Chapter 410 Infiltrating The Anzeans' Mothership



"What do you think? Krond is possibly your father." I started.

Dannae blinked her eyes before lowering her head as she appeared to contemplate how to answer.

That gun that she was using was left behind by her father, it's a standard gun used by the Anzeans. And for her, it was the most important possession of hers. Back then, she agreed to my requests because I took the gun from her. Letting her ability to charge the gun, I used it to break the Door of Transcendence in one shot.

Back when the Anzeans joined the Alliance, Krond asked about Dianne, Dannae's mother, expressing his concern. However, we never really showed him her current status or about her daughter.

Until now, he's unaware that one of the girls who he could often see at the tower was a half-anzean using a disguising device. Moreover, he had no idea that somewhere in the tower, Dianne was there, being treated by the medical technology of this world.

Dannae already saw him multiple times but according to her, he couldn't be sure if he's her father. Her memories of him were vague that the only thing she could remember was the gun he left behind as well as his ordinary features.

Perhaps he didn't have the grace of a Transcendent back then or Dannae was just really too young when he left them.

Nonetheless, it's probably about time to clear it as well as wake her mother up from her coma. There's Noelle and I now have the upgraded Cure Spell. I managed to rework it and made it into a 7-nodes Aether Elemental Spell, it could now also heal internal wounds albeit it's not as efficient as healing external wounds.

"If he's really my father, I can understand his decision. He even left my mother and me to go back... That's how important the Anzeans are for him." Dannae answered with a hint of sadness in her voice.

"Un. That's how he is. Tell me, do you want to introduce yourself to him?"

"… I'm not sure, Daisuke… Perhaps not now, you're about to attack the Healing Faction, right?"

I see. The timing really isn't right. That guy will surely become gloomy for giving up on them. We'll have to settle everything in this world first before that will happen. I'll take her with me, I at least want her to be reunited with her father and see her mother wake up from a coma.

"Yes… It's something that needs to be done. For this world to enter a new era, those opposing us have to disappear. What do you think about it?"

"… Hmm? Why are you asking me? I have no ties with them except for half of their blood running inside me. Besides, even if I somehow wanted to save them, I don't think I have any right to dictate what you will do."

"This girl, you're misunderstanding me. I'm asking you because I want to hear your views. We can't deny that what's running in you is half of their blood after all. I'm asking you because I'm actually afraid that you will see me differently because of this decision."

Now that she's my Companion, it's something I couldn't help but think about…

"Idiot. Why will I see you differently? I'm a denizen of this world more than an Anzean. Lives were already lost, what's the difference of a couple more if it would lead towards the end of this war?" Dannae exhaled and almost flared up at my words. In the end, she cupped my face and squeezed it between her palms before whispering, "Stop overthinking about this. Do what you must. No one will blame you or at least, I will not."

As soon as she finished, Dannae dropped her lips on mine with the intention to calm me down.

It's a bit useless since I'm still calm but realizing that intention of hers made me get drawn further towards her.

I'm truly overthinking about this after all. Back then, the choice of killing Lucas was probably the same situation as this, it was even more extreme since he's a direct relative of Leianne. I shouldn't be bogged down by something like this.

Soon enough, I returned Dannae's kiss to express my gratitude to her. Spending a few minutes in that state, I left her room with my mind cleared up of any distraction.

Because the girls were still busy at their own Absorption Session, I didn't call for all of them to gather in one place.

It's just the Healing Faction after all. We don't need to send everyone to do it.

The night was still young and there's still a lot of time before the sun peeked out from the east again. Before we attack them at first light tomorrow, the Anzeans against us will have to go.

"Yuko, Irja. Are you ready?" I asked the two women who went up as soon as I called them.

Well, Yuko was already on her way even before I called for her. Although her Precognition wasn't active all the time, she could pick up something instinctively.

"Un. Dai-kun." Yuko was already in her plated armor. Although it still looked like the armor she wore when I first came with her, it's already an upgraded one where even a Transcendent's attack wouldn't be able to pierce easily. Add to that her inherent Energy Barrier and her fluid control of her skills, it would be harder for anyone to hit her, even if it's someone stronger than her.

"Hmph. It's just a bunch of Mortal Ranks and a small Rank 1 Transcendent. It's already overkilling for the two of us." Irja in her purple witch outfit crossed her arms. In her eyes, Mortal Ranks and a lone Rank 1 Transcendent was something she didn't need to exert a lot of effort to.

But because it was to my request, she also arrived without complaint. What she just said wasn't a complaint. It's just Irja being Irja.

"That's why I'm taking you both. We don't need to give them a chance. Besides, we're not going to use a Metagen."

We're teleporting to the Anzeans' settlement and from there, fly up to infiltrate their Mothership.

"A shame. I also want to experience riding your Metagen, Dai-kun." Yuko playfully acted disappointed as she blinked her eyes while staring at me.

Picking up on that, I smiled and pulled her to me, "Next time, Yuko. We'll go on a date inside it."

"That's a promise." Yuko's eyes brightened as her lips curved into a smile.

We didn't need to spend a lot of time planning. Krond himself provided the intelligence we needed to locate the current Civilization Leader and his subordinates.

Around 10 minutes later, after passing through a number of Portal Devices, we arrived at the Anzeans' settlement.

That's how it was, the Anzeans' Portal technology only had a maximum range of 15 kilometers so they had to build hidden relay stations to maintain it and they were protected by Alliance's Pilots and Soldiers. As soon as one station is attacked, reinforcements will arrive in a minute or two.

Looking around, it's still in its infancy. Although they already cleared the land of the previous ruins of a city, they haven't constructed their structures yet. Most of them were still living in a raised tent.

They had the technology and manpower, however, what they lacked was the resources to complete it. They still had to get it from the ruins, recycle them and build up a city for the remaining Anzeans.

Although the Anzeans were alarmed at our appearance, my appearance was someone familiar to them. It's natural since I'm the Alliance Head's husband.

After some pleasantries from those in charge of the Portal, the three of us stepped out and started our ascent.

I led the two of them and covered us with the Aura of Concealment when we entered the Mothership's small object surveillance range.

It's just outside the World of Meta's atmosphere, hovering there like a menace waiting to descend.

Since all three of us were Rank 2 Transcendents, being in outer space was easily done without the need to take a breath. Even a Rank 1 Transcendent could wander around one's planet. However, if they venture too far, there's a possibility that they wouldn't be able to go back. Their Energy would be depleted and when that happened, they would be like a regular human who would suffocate in the space vacuum.

As soon as we left the planet's atmosphere, my Adaptability and System notified me about something.

[Ding!]

[Detected an unknown form of Energy]

[Identifying…]

[Identification failed.]

[Adaptability Level is insufficient.]

[Energy Corrosion debuff has been acquired.]

[Energy Corrosion: Due to the unknown and unadaptable Energy, your own Source Energy will be corroded by 1 unit per second. Prolonged exposure will increase the rate of corrosion]

"You got the notification, Dai-kun?"

Because of her System, Yuko also got the notification about the Energy Corrosion.

And on my other side, Irja also had her brows furrowed. When she saw me looking at her, she flew closer and started her lecture.

"Now do you understand? This is why that descendant will certainly die if he doesn't have any Space Vessel to use or he failed to find a place to replenish his energy. That is if he doesn't have any energy stones with him."

"Then that guy will possibly live. In any case, let's not think about a minor problem like him. I instructed Ophelia to summon me through the Support Recall skill if he reappeared."

Looking up, the Anzeans' Mothership was already within our reach. With Krond's information, the secret entrance hatch entered our view. Letting the two women enter first, I followed after them and closed the hatch behind me.
