[Companion Jayna has reached Transcendence]

[Received a Passive Skill from Rank 1 Transcendent Jayna: Enhanced Energy Control]

[Enhanced Energy Control: A simple enhancement derived from a Transcendent\'s ability which was shared to those connected to her. 20% additive to your Energy Control based on your original Control.]

[Added new destination to your Portal Skill: World of Spirits]

After relieving the memories from the Incarnation I sent to the World of Spirits, Sofiel at my side that was sleeping comfortably using my chest as a pillow woke up due to my sudden motion.

"Good morning, darling. Did something happen?"

"Yes, I just received my Support Incarnation\'s memory. Jayna\'s a Transcendent now and we successfully closed the Portal in their World. They\'re finally free to leave the world and come with me."

When the Principal left back there, we didn\'t waste the time and prepared for Jayna\'s Transcendence. During the remaining time of the Support Incarnation, I spent it mostly with Yumiko as I told her about Yuko\'s seal in her memories and our plans.

There\'s also the meeting with the paranoid World\'s Will. In the end, it reluctantly summoned my Incarnation to the Spirit Ocean after Yumiko\'s continuous pestering.

It at least needed to reward her, right? If it didn\'t treat her well then I will really try and scare it for real using my Energy Control.

That\'s why after subtle threats from my Incarnation, it gave us the Portal Skill which will allow us to come back to its world. When things settle down, I\'ll take everyone and go back to the Ancient Ruins and know what actually happened there.

Harlan took Elena for her to be tried and interrogated. Only after that will they decide on what they will do to her. I will also wait for the result of that. Though it might not be as valuable as what the Dark Elf Transcendent spit out here, it would still be an added intelligence about their world.

Jayna\'s Transcendence ended an hour before the duration ended so I still got to see how she became a Transcendent. That Earthfire of hers grew stronger as well. It actually made her hair a bit longer and the reddish hue to grow as well. Her hair is now a mix of green and red. Much like her greenish-red Earthfire.

Also, there\'s this passive skill from her Transcendence. It adds another 20% to my control. I already noticed back then that her Energy Control is phenomenal. No wonder it became the trait that she shared with us.

With this passive skill, it would offset the percentage of the Energy Control I have to sacrifice by activating the Nullification Zone.

"Oh! That\'s the first, right?"

"Yes and according to that sly old man, the Portal in Yuko\'s Otherworld is also about to close. Uh, we got so busy earlier that I forgot to call them to check."

Upon hearing my last sentence, Sofiel visibly blushed and buried her face once more. I reached out for her hair and brushed it with my fingers.

When she felt that, her head relaxed and settled down comfortably once again. The wings on her waist shook a little which indicated the elation she was feeling at the moment.

"Because Sofiel was too charming earlier, I got too indulged in it."

"Uhh… Darling, don\'t tease me. Call Yuko now. I\'m expecting her to nag at me by taking your time like this."

"She won\'t do that. Don\'t worry too much, alright? Stay at my side while I talk to her."

Well, at least I had us wear our clothes first before using the Interdimensional Communication. But will they be awake at this hour?

Ah. Zerina\'s attempt at Transcendence should have already started.

Also, Yuko should\'ve remembered something by now. I wonder what expression she will put on in front of me. And how much did she manage to remember?

She\'s probably waiting for me.

Having decided that, we sat up on the bed while Sofiel snuggled to my side.

We\'ll surely be busy tomorrow so being close like this is fine. As the strongest Transcendent we have here, more work will fall on her lap again.

After using the Skill, the familiar rectangular screen was conjured and appeared before us. A few seconds later, what was projected on it changed and showed the recipient of the call.

As soon as Yuko saw us, her somewhat complicated expression brightened, even if the background was too dark, the light of the moon and stars wonderfully illuminated the place she was standing on.

Though I always see them and sometimes spend time with them with my Support Incarnation, being worlds apart like this makes me miss them more.

Above the sky, the familiar Archaic Door hung in there. The Door of Transcendence was already broken through and the attempter was long inside it, attempting the remaining trials to become a Transcendent.

"Daisuke, Sofiel."

Yuko greeted us with a smile. Soon after that, the complicated expression on her face came back. Are the memories she remembered bothering her?

"Congrats on closing the Portal there, Yuko. You did well."

"Un. It was hard. I need more praise from you, this isn\'t enough…"

To lift her spirits up, I congratulated her first. Hearing that from me, she pouted and uttered what\'s on her mind.

Just like what happened in the World of Spirits, the last dregs of the Corrupted and the Dark Soldiers holed themselves up somewhere near the Portal. At least they didn\'t manage to create a Labyrinth. However, it was well-hidden that it took them almost a day to locate.

Yuko and Zerina together with the Hero\'s Party Members took the Vanguard position while the Champions from different countries took the role of the cleanup party to sweep the enemies that the Hero\'s Party missed on their path to the Portal.

Unlike what happened in Yumiko\'s Otherworld, by the time Yuko found the Portal, it was already widened enough for a Transcendent to pass through. The pulse of Dark Energy also became something like a status effect on them which lowered their combat prowess.

And that led to a fierce struggle of strength near the Portal.

Zerina, Caila, Noelle and Reinys were tasked by her to dispatch the remaining Dark Soldiers who were still around Rank 5 and Rank 4 Mortals.

Yuko, on the other hand, fought alone against two Rank 1 Transcendents who managed to pass through the widened Portal.

To end it quickly before the 3rd Dark World Transcendent passed through, Yuko used the Hero\'s Awakening Skill which raised her Power Level to more than 300, placing her as a Rank 2 Transcendent.

As soon as she did that, the two Transcendents stopped engaging and started running away but upon using another Ultimate Skill borne from reaching the 4th realm of the System Pathway, she cut the two down easily.

Following that, before she got hit by the debuff from using the Awakening, she hurriedly closed the Portal. And that made the 3rd Transcendent who was about to pass through to get stuck inside the passageway resulting in his demise.

In that short duration of her Awakening, Yuko managed to reduce three Transcendents of the Dark World. Much better than the one Dark Elf Transcendent we caught or the Transcendent Incarnations we fought at the World of Spirits.

Clearly, that deserves more than just praise. If I could I would have already picked her up and dote on her in bed.

But yeah, if something went wrong, she could be put in more than just a disadvantage, given that her strength will be reduced to 50% after the duration of Awakening ended.

I really need to take them all with me. That will put me at ease.

"Come here with me after you\'re done settling things there. I will be waiting for you."

"Eh? Didn\'t you say that Erin and Avelin needed help in their World?"

"Uh. Right. After helping Raiden close the Portal there, you can take the two with you after they also become Transcendent."

"Un. Leave it to us. By the way, Daisuke. Father visited me."

Once she mentioned her father, that complicated expression came back again. Did he say something to her? Did he say to conceal some of the things which she remembered?

"I know. He also visited Yumiko\'s Otherworld first after we closed the Portal there. Did he say something to you?"

"No. Just… some of the memories I told you before were not real, I\'m sorry."

Ah. So this is the reason for her complicated expression, eh? She was feeling guilty about it.

"This girl… Don\'t stress yourself over that. I knew about it. He told me how he altered your memories of our past and that you\'re a reincarnator. I\'m the one who needed to say sorry for keeping it from you."

Compared to her guilt about something she had no control, keeping the truth from her is much heavier than that.

And by coming clean about it at this moment, the guilt she was feeling was lifted.

"N-no. You don\'t need to say sorry. He asked you to keep it a secret, right?"

"Yes. Still, I feel like I still need to say it. Don\'t feel guilty about the memories you told me, alright? You wanted to honestly help remember what I forgot back then so… the intention was what mattered. But now that you remember some of it, can you tell me about it?"

Upon hearing what I said, she went through a struggle of emotion until she finally smiled through it. Afterwards, she nodded and cheerfully answered.

"Yes! I am glad to…"
