2 days have passed since the day of the Mission which ended with Nysia destroying a Black Market that catered to the enemy of the world.

After those two days, I managed to achieve the breakthrough that I was waiting for in a shorter time than expected.

And that was because Nysia insisted for me to use some of the Dark Energy she got from raiding that Black Market. Because she almost knew everything about me, she knew that even if I\'m still not at her level yet, I have a way to use a higher energy for my own cultivation.

During the creation of my second Halo Skill, the Orb of Enhancement that was hanging on my neck lit up and floated in front of me as it did the same thing which the Orb of Concealment did during the creation of the 1st Halo Skill.

The Orb of Enhancement enhanced 2nd Halo Skill and turned the Energy Field into the Domain of Valor which not only increases Strength and Endurance but also the rare Intelligence stat! And they\'re all dependent on my base stats. 20% of my base Intelligence is a staggering 1.3 Intelligence point, it could now turn a Rank B up to Rank S or SS depending on their current Brain Capacity whether they\'re close to breakthrough or not.

Err… with this, I could take a battalion of Specialized Metagens, they only needed to go back to the domain before 5 minutes were over.

Now we\'re talking about a true Support Skill. These will be good. I\'ll tell Nysia to pack those Specialized Metagen in the Armory and we\'ll select trusted Elite Members to be put into that Battalion. Those Metagens needed to be put to use again, to honor their previous owners. That\'s much better than enshrining it.

Even if it\'s not for them, it\'s just temporary after all so they don\'t need a tailor-made Specialized Metagen. Just piloting it would turn them into Pseudo-Core Pilots.

They\'ll be dominating the battlefield soon and if that Ultimate Metagen could be made to compliment my ability then we\'ll surely be unstoppable in this world.

Ah. However, I have to pass that first. The door of Transcendence.

It became a temporary skill that could call for the door which will arrive in three days.

I see. That\'s why Yuko and Yumiko needed to prepare first. Not only because of the waiting time but also to prepare themselves. That \'note\' sounded ominous.

Later I will send my Incarnation to Yuko to watch her Transcendence. And the Interdimensional Communication will be used to call Jayna to also observe Yumiko\'s Transcendence even just for a while.

Even if they prepared enough, I couldn\'t help but worry. Nysia passed that stage, Yuko and Yumiko will be fine. I shouldn\'t let them see the worry on my face or it might affect them as well.

Haa… After accepting how important they are to me, maybe I\'ll always worry like this if they\'re not with me. The other girls will also need to pass that stage soon. Jayna, Zerina, Avelin and Erin. The first two were already Rank 5 so they only needed at least two breakthroughs to touch upon it. Avelin and Erin will be Rank 5 Mortal when they reach the King Realm and it won\'t be long.

Raiden was probably already summoned back. With the Energy Stones and the unification that they will start in the Desolate Plain, that will push the two girls to King Realm.

Maybe Raiden will also reach the point of knocking at the door of Transcendence during his stay there this time as well as the other Heroes connected to me.

Kazeyoshi too. Matthew and Amry would have to wait but I guess to bolster our forces here, I will add either of the two to the Supported List. They also needed the boost. The principle of adding only my classmates will be broken here. Though it\'s a shame, I have to adapt to the current circumstances.

After watching Yuko and Yumiko\'s Transcendence, only then will I activate that skill. That way I could prepare better.

The wilting of the Power Level was kind of expected. A Mortal could only sustain up to Power Level 100. That\'s why it became the divide between a Mortal and a Transcendent. After becoming Transcendent, not only our strength will be upgraded but also the make of our own bodies.

That\'s probably why Nysia has started to look younger each passing year. Her lifespan has increased. Well, even if that didn\'t happen, she\'ll still be my Companion, our destiny is to be together.

By reaching Transcendence our lifespan will increase, our overall strength will increase. And with every Hero who would reach Transcendence, I would get more of their stats. By the time they reach their Transcendence, I will be the one with the highest Power Level.

Still, even if that happened, I will stick to my role, a Support. That\'s my path. It\'s not something that was forced on me, the longer I walk this path, the title of being the Ultimate Support Character is slowly becoming the reality.

And it\'s not a bad idea. Still, there\'s that blank in my memory and the Dark Persona that was lurking inside me. Those two were possibly related.

Well, let\'s deal with that when the time comes. For now, let\'s continue to look at the path ahead.

"That smile looks good on you, Daisuke."

Nysia commented after I left that side room where I did my breakthrough. She surely noticed the change in me.

Err… what did she mean about my smile? Didn\'t I always smile in front of them? Only with them will I show that kind of expression from me.

"What do you mean?"

Well, let\'s tease her again since I\'m in a good mood.

"You\'re kind of a blockhead sometimes, Daisuke. That confident smile. I\'d like to see more of that."

Ah. Is there a different distinction about my smile towards them? It\'s all the same, right?

"Does that mean my smile wasn\'t confident before?"

"Ugh… No, because what you have before was your adorable smile."

Adorable smile like a puppy, eh?

"What\'s the difference?"

"Now you\'re just teasing me. Tsk."

Nysia clicked her tongue and turned her back to me when she finally noticed what I\'m doing.

"So you finally noticed. I really love teasing you, aren\'t you already used to it?"

I walked towards her and slipped my hand from her back while I rested my chin on her shoulder. This kind of intimate action was already something normal for us.

Even though she\'s still slightly upset from my teasing, when she felt my arms embracing her, I saw how a smile formed from her lips.

This girl is too honest with her feelings.

"I am but--"

Cutting off her words by kissing her, Nysia\'s eyes widened in surprise at first, however, she soon fell to the mood as the red tint of her blush slowly covered her face.

During the two days that we\'re together, our relationship has already advanced to this. A kiss was something I always use to surprise her. She\'ll still be flustered by it just like before, at least she already stopped being frozen in place like that first time I kissed her.

She\'s purer than Avelin and Jayna when it comes to this. Those two were just innocent while Nysia already knew about it just that she didn\'t think she would find a man that could make her bloom like this.

"Haa. You\'re always this unfair."

Nysia complained when our lips separated which I only answered with another smile before taking her hand.

"Take it as me being in a good mood. Let\'s sit and let me tell you what I got this time."
