The Ultimate Support Character

Chapter 454 World's Will



As that notification suddenly turned up as soon as we left the previous space of the Pocket Dimension, I could feel the tugging sensation in my consciousness.

It's not a forceful summoning by the way it was worded so... I could disregard it for a while.

Nonetheless, this was the first time that I felt the presence of the World's Will of the Earth.

After months of my adventure to different Otherworlds, I never felt its presence, unlike the Heroes who were being blessed by it whenever they would be summoned.

That's why it's kind of a surprise that as soon as we completed the restoration of the Source Energy on Earth, its first step was to 'request for my presence'.

While I was mulling over whether to go and meet the World's Will, a Portal suddenly opened in front of us. The Principal, who seemed to be somewhat different from when he left that day, appeared from the other side of it.

Looking at the background behind him, he's back at the Academy or more precisely, at his favorite office.

Is he like the World's Will? Only coming back now when we finished completing the task of restoring the Source Energy in every part of the world?

I looked around and the previously Aurora-filled blue sky in this part of the world was glowing in a golden light.

As if there's a thick film of Energy that was now covering it.

Perhaps at this moment, every part of the Earth, even outside the stratosphere was currently being filled with the Level 3 Earth Energy.

Only when it completely covered the Earth would the sky turn back to normal.

I have no idea at which part of the World Zone we are currently but if the fixed star which is the sun could be moved along with the Earth... What will happen to the other planets in the Solar System?

The Principal mentioned how Mars could be assimilated… How would that work?

Moreover, I was also concerned about that subordinate Mortal World that the Earth Defense Army was using, where is it located? Where are the Mortal Worlds located if they could contact the Earth's World's Will?

Ah… Too many questions that I couldn't answer myself.

Well then, let's go back first.

"I presume the World's Will has already contacted you." The Principal calmly said as soon as I sat down.

When we arrived here, Yuko and the others all showed up in less than five seconds as if they're already hurrying here even before we entered the Portal created by the Principal.

"Yes. It did contact me upon leaving the last Pocket Dimension. What do you think? Should I respond to it now?"

"The decision is yours, Kuramoto-kun. I believe your long-time question will be answered by it. As you might've guessed, I'm just an old man listening to its orders. The World's Will holds the secret about your identity as well as… the memories you lost."

As I thought, it's all because of the World's Will. It's also the reason why this sly old man kept his mouth shut all the time.

"Dai-kun. If you want to, we will also go with you."

Yuko worriedly said, perhaps thinking that I was having second thoughts about meeting the World's Will.

Although she didn't have the method to go with us, she would probably bug her father or just continue making noise for the World's Will to notice her.

To answer that, I held her hand and put on a relaxed expression.

"It's fine. It's just the World's Will. I've met a lot of World's Wills by now. I won't be overwhelmed even if it's a World's Will of a Level 3 World."

"You say that but you're afraid that you might exhibit a change in how you view things when you get your memory back, right?"

"Darling is indeed afraid. Don't worry too much. Nothing will change. We'll still be your companions and you… our destined one."

Sofiel stepped forward as well and took my other side, as the two began trying to comfort me.

Following them, the other four who probably already remembered a huge chunk of their past lives also stepped forward to assure me that even if I recovered my memories, I would still be looking at them the same way as I was looking at them at this moment.

Being encouraged by them like this when in fact that's not what's on my mind, I already lost my chance to tell them that that's not the case.

So instead of letting them be embarrassed for being dramatic like this, I stood up and went to them one by one. Naturally, including those who lost their chance to step forward earlier as well as Noelle and Caila.

This will surely be the start of something new. What's inside that memory will not only reinforce my mind about my identity. It also contained what actually happened and the reason for my reincarnation.

Most likely, the memory I remembered about my past life is complete, unlike what's happening with Yuko and the five Orb Holders who were remembering things about it bit by bit.

If it's complete then… it will also include why I died, what actually happened to Earth for it to become unawakened.

When I finished going through my Companions, I sat down once again and focused on that notification that was still floating in my mind.

[Are you ready to go and meet the World's Will?]

Alright. That's new. This System… What are you?

[I am… You will know about it soon.]

I see. I guess you're right. You're not just a simple System derived from a Pathway but something specifically meant for me.

[That's correct. For the record, I only became sentient when the Orbs awakened your repressed Skills.]

I thought as much. Well then, let me meet it and finally be done with this.

[Very well. Transferring your consciousness…]

[3…]

[2…]

[1…]

As soon as the countdown ended my consciousness was plunged into a dark tunnel that was burrowing down towards who knows where.

Since this is just my consciousness, the awakened System also stopped accompanying me.

For it to be that sentient, no wonder it was that special.

If my guess is right, the World of Systems isn't a Natural World.

It's a Created World. And perhaps, it was something my previous self also created. Just like the Dark World.

What's wrong with that guy? Or what's wrong with my previous self?

In any case, the answer is now in front of me.

The World's Will.

Let's see how special it was that it even took my memories away and sent me to become an Ultimate Support.

"Welcome…"

As soon as my vision cleared and my sense of sight came back, I found myself in front of the same old playground where I first met Yuko during this lifetime…

Standing beneath the giant cherry blossom tree in the middle is a young boy. Or more precisely, the World's Will.

Wait…

That's not the World's Will.

The young boy standing there is me.

"Are you surprised?"

Huh? What's happening here? Is this guy playing with me? Or...
