Chapter 467 Fuel
Out of the more than 50 who flew out, 14 Rank 2 Transcendents were now writhing in the ground as they all tried to break the restriction of the Energy Chains.
Unfortunately, they wouldn't be able to do it as fast as the Rank 3 Transcendent.
To completely subdue them, I produced the Chains we gathered from the Dark World denizens. Following that, I conjured my clones and let them do the work.
In less than a minute, 14 Transcendents that could be seen as absolute beings in a Mortal World were captured.
I could choose to kill them but… I have a better idea in mind. That Imbued Tool made by Onimbus could be put to use this time with these valuable… fuels. Some of the Heroes or some soldiers of the Earth Defence Army could be boosted.
For the latter half of the plan, we wouldn't continue staying here. I would take my Companions with me as we travel to different worlds, so… in case some other worlds attack, the defense would be left to them.
Seeing my clones putting their people to a sack. Some of those who retreated inside the vicinity of their interconnecting Pillars looked as if they were enraged. However, having been plunged back into the Ailment Fog that was now being intensified by Jayna's fog, they better worry about themselves than the 14 captives.
I'm not taking them to be ransomed after all and soon enough, they'll all be sacked as well.
But the premise would be… winning against the Rank 3 Transcendent.
While my clones were sacking the bound Rank 2 Transcendents, I turned my focus back behind me. The gigantic Energy Sword and Nysia who's still breaking through the multiple layers of defenses from the Rank 3 Transcendent were already near him.
At this point in time, around 5 minutes since they landed on Earth, the strongest enemy we faced was now fully exerting everything he could to defend himself.
His Energy Control, his Pathway Skills and any other abilities he could pull out.
There's no way for him to dodge because as soon as he chose to release his control on the defenses he put up, the Energy Sword and Nysia would instantly break through everything and hit him squarely in his face or rather, his whole body.
And with the momentum Nysia and the Energy Sword that's still continuously sucking in the surrounding energy to get it back to its peak power, he'd end up at the same state as earlier if he let his guard down.
Nonetheless, it's not like he's not counterattacking.
Emerging from behind the desert sand wall which served his last defense, four gigantic red wolves that were summoned by the Rank 3 Transcendent were circling around the tall Ultimate Metagen.
Each of those red wolves had the strength of a Rank 2 Transcendent.
Since Nysia's Metagen wasn't optimized for higher rank Transcendents yet, dents started to appear on its surface every time a red wolf would bash his head on it.
If not for her Defense Manipulation and the Armor Enchantment of the Imbued Tool, the giant robot that accompanied her to make the Free City of Nysia would've been chomped down and chowed off by now.
Furthermore, her Ultimate Metagen still couldn't be used indefinitely... Its engine would run out of gas in less than five minutes.
Like what the Rank 3 Transcendent said, in terms of quality, the Metagen was really lacking even if it's made for a Transcendent like her.
Earth might not have produced the same technology similar to a Metagen but before I sacrificed everyone, the technology here was more advanced than a Mortal World's technology. Through what this world produced before, a Mortal Rank could fight a Transcendent.
The equipment was called an Energy Power Suit. Something similar to a Powergen.
Even as a Rank 5 Sage before I became a Rank 1 Divine, it's already insignificant to use those Power Suits in battle. It's not because I was confident but because like the World of Meta, the technology of Earth back then was only at the level of a Rank 1 Sage.
The strongest equipment made through the use of our technology was only effective up to someone who reached Rank 1 Sage. And that equipment could allow a Rank 1 Sage to face off against a Rank 2 Sage and live to tell the tale.
Unfortunately, most of the previous technology on Earth was lost in time.
Ah. Right. Some could still be found in the lost cities such as Atlantis.
That lost city… it wasn't really called Atlantis. In truth, it's just one of the more high-end Waste Disposal Sites on Earth.
Most of the defective or outdated pieces of technology were all being recycled in it.
We haven't visited that place yet since like the World's Will, it's not yet back to its previous state. Due to that, what the public could access was only the entrance and the primary area.
As of this moment, the strongest piece of technology that could be considered junk from before was hiding in the depths of the city. When it became accessible, I would bring my Companions there. Who knows? We'll be able to find some useful junk before we restore the previous technological height of the Earth.
And it's the same for the other lost cities that resurfaced when the inherent Source Energy of Earth once again filled the atmosphere. All of them were still not fully accessible.
I have no idea if the World's Will hid most of the technology of a Level 3 Psyche-type Sage World like Earth. I forgot to ask him. I was preoccupied with my memories and the thought of powering us up.
But once these threats were taken care of, I would annoy the hell out of him to cough up everything he's still hiding.
Furthermore, I would surely integrate the Metagen, Powergen, Pentacom, Mothership and Portal technology of World of Meta and Anzeans. I might not be an expert at it but sooner or later… someone from the Earthlings would show up, calling themselves experts or Scientists of the New Age.
Although the world was still adapting to the current change brought by the Level 3 Earth Energy and most of the supposed global superpowers were fighting some petty war months ago, the Earth would soon transition to the interstellar Era.
Reclaiming and Assimilating the heavenly bodies surrounding us would give us the necessary resources to rebuild the former glory of a Level 3 Psyche-type Sage World.
We needed everything we could put our hands on. We would be facing a Divine World after all. Imagine how many zeros would there be in their Universal Power Level.
"Daisuke, it's done."
While I was somewhat lost in my thoughts while observing Nysia and the Energy Sword's struggle against the Rank 3 Transcendent, Jayna's voice entered my mind.
Turning my head in their direction, she was now hovering at the entrance of their created space as another purple fog was being exuded from her ring.
The other two, Lunaria and Elise were next to her, preventing the Rank 2 Transcendents from going out.
Although I advocated ending the enemies whenever there's a chance, I instructed them this time that if they deemed it possible to only incapacitate their enemies then they should do so.
It's rare to get this much Fuel. Who knows how many Transcendents it could create in the ranks of the Earth Defense Army?
Extending my gaze towards the interior of their supposed sanctuary, the Rank 2 Transcendents who retreated inside their fog-filled space were now writhing in pain while some were already lying on the ground, unconscious. Some were bloodied and burnt from Lunaria and Elise's attacks.
With the tandem of Ailment Fog and the activation of her Imbued Tool, the Stats Reduction, as well as the Ailment Effects, were doubled.
And with their area being an enclosed space thanks to their Pillars, they had no chance to escape.
"I'll be sending my Pillars and my clones, take them out."
After replying, I waved my hand and a huge cage molded from the desert sand was conjured using the Earth Elemental Energy.
The clones then threw the 14 Rank 2 Transcendent captives inside it before following my next instruction.
Following them, Lith, Kael, Lan and Delian, each clutching Chains and sacks.
Upon seeing the new arrivals at their side, Lunaria and Elise entered the space to take down those still standing and still possess some light of hope in their eyes.
With the two using their new Pathways' Skills alongside their Ability from the Meta Pathway, none of the weakened Rank 2 Transcendent could defend against them.
"I guess it's also time to end this."
And once again turning my head to Nysia and the Rank 3 Transcendent, I also pulled out my own Ultimate Metagen, the White Knight.
Wielding its Regenium Sword while the Willful Sword embedded itself on the giant sword's hilt, I activated another Sword Skill along with the opening of Bedevilled Outburst.
"Heavy Rain!"
Joining side by side with Nysia's Sanguine Aegis, the Rain of gigantic Claymore and Purple Swords began bombarding the last of the Rank 3 Transcendent's defense.
Upon seeing me, the Rank 3 Transcendent then split the four gigantic red wolves into two groups to try and stop me as well.
However, with how strong our combination now, the red wolves were soon either smashed by Nysia or impaled with the numerous Claymores and Purple Swords.
"No. How can Rank 2 Transcendents be this strong enough to overpower me?! This is unacceptable! Did those bastards trick me?!"
Seeing his defenses which poured all his Energy into about to be breached, the red-skinned Rank 3 Transcendent shouted in anger.
As to who he's pertaining to as a bastard. We'll find that out later.
As the sand wall's control was lost, the red-skinned Transcendent once again entered my eyes.
With both of his hands raised up high, the already purple sky took on a darker color.
Before the Energy Sword, the Sanguine Aegis, the White Knight, the gigantic Claymores and Purple Swords reached the last 10 meters before hitting him, the red-skinned Transcendent metamorphose into a larger Red Wolf!
Howl!!!
