The Ultimate Support Character

Chapter 586 Source Energy Core

Cutting through the thick blackened ground of the floating island, I arrived before the secretive location of the Source Energy Core.

On the outside, even if one dug through this, only those with keen Energy Senses or the right equipment to detect it could find out that it's the location of the Source Energy Core.

What transpired aboveground has already been wrapped up.

The Eye of Nihility let the woman be shackled with Energy-restricting chains and my Companions took her inside the Kingfisher.

The surrendered Transcendents were either killed or also given the same treatment.

Those loyal to the organization or those who didn't believe in the deal I was proposing were all killed.

While a few who value their lives more agreed. The terms weren't as severe as what I asked for the veiled woman anyway.

They could keep their attainment but they would be taking an Oath to never betray us in our homeworld before we alter their memories or if that's not going to be enough, wipe them as well and give them a new identity.

I would leave the discretion on how to properly deal with them to the World's Will back on Earth and the old fossils.

Hajime might be able to find better terms and use them more efficiently.

Having witnessed that some of us possessed Level 3 Source Energy, they knew that we were from a Sage World. Most of the Transcendents not native to this world mostly hailed Mortal and Transcendent Worlds without exception. Due to that, those who accepted the deal knew that there would be no way out for them unless the organization saved them first.

As for our plan to tour the World Zones and make a map to determine the exact location of the connected Worlds to Earth as well as our trip to other Chaosworlds has to be postponed for now.

I explained it all to my Companions before coming down here.

"You! You said you're going to leave us alone!" cried the true form of the World's Will.

"When did I say that? Sorry, but I need your Core." I smirked, pointing the Willful Sword at its neck. It was an Energy Entity so it's not really a vital part but then again, one hack from my Sword would render it unconscious.

"N-no! You cannot take it! My denizens. This world. It will be destroyed!" The World's Will started begging as Restricting Chains wrapped around its body.

I already wrest control of his full Authority as a World's Will through my Energy Control so doing that was fairly easy. All that was left for it was its ego. The ego it managed to nurture through the help of the organization.

"Why don't you call for your Creator? Has he already perished?"

Sure he is or maybe not. There might not even be one.

Because of how I used to deal with a higher world in my previous life, I've kinda mixed up categorizing a Mortal World at a glance.

With a lack of Creator, this could very well be a Natural World that got conquered by the organization and got spared having its Source Energy Core extracted to nurture a Created World.

Thinking about it, it's probably more ideal for them to let Natural Worlds grow but then again, I'm not that much of an expert when it comes to this.

My only experience was being born from a Natural Sage World and creating two worlds that I left behind. On our travels, even if we got caught up with hostile Worlds, Invasive Worlds, and organizations located in the Transcendent and Sage World Zones, we never delved too deep into their origins and machinations.

That's why when it comes to a massive Invasive World organization like the Overworld Serpent, this was also a first for me...

I don't know what their designation is for this world but it's probably a mine, a small base, or something.

In any case, this is only one of the many.

Even if this world perished, it's only a small portion of the massive Invasive World Organization.

Naturally, since there's a report that passed through, it's safe to assume that at least some of us have been marked.

"There's no Creator. This is a Natural World. Transcendents from Overworld Serpent arrived here when the first Transcendent was born and since then occupied us."

Ah. I see. I finally understand why I mistook this world for a Created World...

I cannot sense a Converging World connected here.

Though it's not really that rare to have an isolated Natural World since most of those connected to Earth were one, I kind of got it mixed up. That's a blunder on my part. With the abundance of my memories from my past life, information of this level was already muddled.

"I cannot sense any path to Converging World. You're not connected to one?"

"No. We once were."

"It's the past tense. I understand. Either it already perished or it cut you off. And whichever was the truth, it explained why you got conquered. That Converging World is also part of the organization."

"Y-yes. We are also victims. Spare us. Spare this world."

"I sympathize with you, truly. However, I cannot do that. You see... We're also being attacked by the organization. If I spare you, they're just going to descend here and squeeze you out of information about us."

"That..."

"I'm certain you understand my motivation here. You have to be sacrificed so we can live another day. Don't worry, I will make proper use of your Source Energy Core. And I'll select some of your denizens to survive in another world. They will at least live on and continue your legacy."

"My legacy???"

Of course, that's bullshit. Even if a World's Will cares about its denizens like a child, no legacy will be left behind by it when it perishes. It's all flowery words to make it accept its fate.

"Yes. I'll allow you to check. I opened up a Portal to a suitable world for them. I wrest away your Authority and they're merely Mortal Ranks. Evacuating them can be easily done."

Upon saying that, I conjured a moving image that projected the Portals I opened at the surface of this world.

Those willing to migrate can live or they can choose to perish with their homeworld. Obviously, the ones living in these floating islands will not have the same choice. Innocent or not, I have no more time to pick one from the other. They lived a life of luxury anyway. That's enough for them as a reason to pass on.

The World's Will looked at the projection with watery eyes. Its red skin and form that's close to the image of its denizens trembled in pain of loss.

Slowly but surely, its struggle subsided.

It finally succumbed to its fate.

"I'll carry on the grudge of your denizens that became mere Energy Stones for the organization. That I promise. Close your eyes now. This will be quick."

The chains restricting its true form dissipated and I left it lying prone there.

I walked forward and teleported to the middle of this place.

The Source Energy Core.

"Come. Let me take you."

As I muttered those words, my Energy Control at this point could be said to be unparalleled by anything below Sage Rank churned. Even without the specialized equipment used to extract a world's Source Energy Core, the dazzling core that could drown or even make a normal Transcendent explode was easily extracted.

Cracks immediately started appearing in my surroundings and the light compressed to a huge sphere the size of a person.

The World's Will also gradually dissipated as though it was never there.

This is it.

With this extracted, this world will become barren and perhaps be engulfed in endless natural disasters until it crumbles on its own.

[Ding!]
