The Ultimate Support Character

With the total population of the Anzeans close to a billion, they only managed to fit a very small percentage inside their Mothership to escape their world to continue their race's survival.

That's why even though the Mothership had the size of a big city, most of the sections inside were filled with living quarters. It only had one Command Hall where the higher-ups of the remaining Anzeans would often gather or rather where they were getting their orders from the only Transcendent inside this ship.

The Command Hall was separated from the Operations Bridge. They're not engaging in space warfare after all.

The secret hatch that we used to enter from was located at the lowest deck. It was the deck where most ground weapons of the ship were located. It also served as the garage and hangar for their aircraft, spacecraft or smaller space vessels, ground vehicles and Pentacoms.

Because of the long history of their battle against the denizens of the World of Meta, this lowest deck was almost empty. Perhaps when they split into two Factions, the Settler Faction took half of it.

"For a Mortal World to create something like this… The interior was almost the same quality of what I've seen in our world." Irja muttered as she observed the interior of the lowest deck.

Because this is supposed to be their own territory, only a few Rank 2 to Rank 3 Mortals were loosely patrolling this place.

"How large are the Space Vessels used by those tribes?" I inquired after putting everyone to sleep. Using my Energy Manipulation, It was now possible to deprive or rather restrict the Source Energy inside the bodies of Rank 3 Mortals and below, artificially inducing the state of Energy Depletion.

Due to my continuous growth, I'm already near the Energy Control that a World's Will of a Mortal World possessed.

Seeing that occurrence, both Yuko and Irja weren't that surprised anymore.

In any case, I knew that the two also have their own methods to incapacitate them without raising an alarm. The only difference was that they had to expend some of their energy to do it and their Energy Intensity or Energy Signature could be detected by the Healing Factions' Transcendent or if there were some kind of alarm regarding it.

"It's on a smaller scale than this wherein they had the intention to make this as an alternate place to live. If I had to guess, their World's Will might've been involved in crafting this." Irja answered after further observation of the interior. "It's around half a kilometer long and one hundred meters wide. It also somehow bore resemblance to this ginormous Mothership. However, the technology in it wasn't this advanced. In fact, it's sufficiently lower than this. Either way, Psyche-type Worlds were known to be worlds with advanced technology. Our world also had those, plundered from conquered lower worlds. However, most were only used for reference. Most if not all Mortal Psyche-type World's technology only runs through the use of their own Source Energy. Once we assimilated their world, items born from their technology would be useless scrap of metals or other materials they used to build those from."

Yuko and I listened to the information from her as we waited for the lift to take us.

Earth is supposed to be a Psyche-type World. Will it really be like how she described it once it reawakened?

"I see. Psyche-type Worlds often make up for the differences in strength through the use of their technology."

Thinking about it, every World of Meta denizen's abilities weren't as diverse as those from the World of Barbarian wherein they could create their own skill. In here, their awakened ability upon reaching Silver-rank was the one that would accompany them throughout their whole lives. One thing to note was that not everyone could awaken an ability as useful or powerful as Nysia's Armor Control, Leianne's Ice Control, Lunaria's Moonlight Control, Elise's Golden Flame Control and Dannae's Amplification.

Or for another comparison, the Heroes' unique Abilities compared to the abilities of the soldiers of Earth's Defense Army or any other normal Earth denizens.

"Yes. The Mortal Pathways of Psyche-type Worlds were mostly identical to each other. The same could be said for the Spirit-type and Elemental-type Worlds. Of course, there would still be slight differences among similar Pathways. Take my Vibrant Spirit Pathway and the Spirit Pathway you showed me. If denizens of that world entered the Dark World, it would only be a new Pathway variation that could be emulated by our denizens."

"The main reason why our world had a lot of different Mortal Pathways was that it's a Created World. Unlike Natural Worlds with only one Mortal Pathway every denizen followed, it seemed that the Creator of our world, if it was true, introduced those different types of Spirit-type Mortal Pathways which our earliest ancestors picked up. After becoming an Invasive World, those assimilated would just alter their Mortal Pathway to fit their new Source Energy type or they would also adopt the already existing Pathways."

So in short, Created Worlds and Natural Worlds had that distinct difference. Created World could be tampered with by its Creator while Natural Worlds would progress naturally.

Wait… this girl. We're talking about Space Vessels, right? How come we already reached this point of discussion?

"Looks like there's still a lot of knowledge I failed to extract from you, Irja," I smirked and gave her a side glance.

Upon hearing it, Irja was immediately incensed, "Extract… Choose your words properly!"

"Now, now, don't shout. The concealment is already off and we're about to arrive. Let's make this quick." I clasped Irja's hand to calm her down which she returned by pinching my skin. "I will disable the Mortal Ranks in the immediate vicinity with my Energy Manipulation and Orb of Ailment. Irja, this is the path to the Engine Room. There won't be any threat but just prevent anyone from going near it. Yuko, I already located the Anzean Transcendent, he's still at the Command Hall with some of the Rank 5 Mortals, can you take care of him and those with him?"

I opened my communicator and a simple layout of the Mothership was detailed on its screen. There was a mark on where the Engine Room was located and the quickest path to it. After that, I added another mark on the room where the Command Hall was located

While they were busy completing those objectives, I would be taking control of the Mothership by occupying the Operations Bridge. Most of the higher-ups were with that Transcendent anyway. Besides, even if they tried to retaliate, there's no way we would lose against Mortal Ranks.

The only thing we had to prevent was the launching of that bomb.

"No problem, Dai-kun, I'll meet you at the Bridge after I'm done."

"Hmph. Yuko. After this, help me hold him down."

"Of course, Sister Irja. You can count on me. Besides, if it's Dai-kun, he himself will approach you if you're upset."

"Un. My Yuko knows me best. I'll stay with the both of you after this."

Well, although she appeared somewhat angry with my choice of word earlier. That tsundere used that to appeal to me. It's just an excuse.

Hearing my words, Yuko naturally had a smile on her lips while Irja tried to hide it by covering her mouth.

A few seconds later, the lift stopped and the door opened on us. I stepped out first and lifted the Orb of Ailment on my right hand to activate it. Seconds later, the Aura of Ailment spread across numerous corridors of this deck

In this way, every patrolling guard or just the Anzeans going out of their living quarters were all incapacitated.

A few forks in the road later, Irja separated from us to make her way to the Engine Room.

There was more than one Engine Room in this Mothership. But the room she was going to was the one where the Hyperdrive Engine was located.

It's the technology used by the Anzeans to go back and forth from here to their homeworld easily. If I'm not wrong, that's also the Core Part of this ship.

It's not unique for the Anzeans though. According to Irja, Space Vessels had that kind of technology, albeit there were different iterations. The technology was being used to fly a bit faster without the risk of being hit by the asteroids or space rocks and boulders floating around.

A part of that Hyperdrive Engine could be detached and used as a bomb. Her objective was not just preventing anyone from going near it but also destroying the mechanism put in place for that part to be detached.

After Irja separated from us, Yuko and I continued. Since the Orb couldn't be used successively, I went back at using Energy Manipulation to incapacitate anyone that would run into us. Yuko would also sometimes shoot an imprinted Wizard Spell to her System after predicting that someone would show up.

Although I already doomed this faction for eradication, we wouldn't just go blindly massacring them. The only threat was those calling the shots. We'll let Krond deal with the other Anzeans.

When we reached the vicinity of the Command Hall, I kissed Yuko before separating from her. With that kiss as an encouragement, Yuko energetically walked towards its entrance.

When I continued on my way, Yuko already started on her operation. She put up layers of Energy Screens to prevent the energy from leaking out.

Even before I could reach the Operations Bridge, Yuko was already back at my side.

"That was fast."

"Un. That kiss powered me up, after all."

"Or you're just too overpowered against him."

Upon hearing that, Yuko let out a cute giggle. Since we're now alone, she once again dropped her Hero persona and clung to me like she always does.

Although this was supposed to be a hostile environment, it felt like we're just walking on our date.

When we reached the Operations Bridge, the Anzeans inside, responsible for the Mothership's operation were instantly incapacitated before they could even react to our sudden appearance.

It's really nice to be this overpowered, huh?

In essence, the time we spent going from the City to this Mothership was longer than the actual operation.
