An hour later, Nysia also came back after destroying the Black Market which I marked on the map included in the report I sent to her. The Metagens and Darkgens that surrounded us were all destroyed already. Even those Powergen-wearing guards were not spared.
The vagrants captured were released but those connected with the three factions and the League she found there, some were killed while some were crippled for interrogation. All of them were put in some kind of container which she brought back to this place.
Lexie and 5 Core Pilots along with at least 100 Elite Members in their Primeval Knight Metagens already communicated with us at least another hour later after Nysia cleaned up the place. They could now be seen arriving from a distance.
That should be how slow the response to our report if it was any other Patrol Team and maybe sometimes there would be no response. Because I was involved, Nysia herself moved using her Metagen.
The enemies' plan to deal with us almost instantly was brilliant except for that one miscalculation, they didn't account for the possibility of me having a backer with the identity of being the strongest in this world.
"Four captives. Should we really keep this guy? He's a Dark World denizen."
I asked upon looking at the four captives, the one I pointed out was the one that was possibly a Rank SSS+. Turns out he was the one running that Black Market, under the protection of an unknown backer of course. It's either Eldur or Confederacy or even both.
He was wearing a Powergen when he was captured by her and when she pulled that off him, it was revealed that he's not a denizen of this world.
The other three were surprisingly a triplet of purple-haired women, they're the three Pilots of the three Specialized Metagen which I fought. One of them was still unconscious, the ice-blue Metagen Pilot. They surrendered because of that girl. Though we haven't started interrogating them yet, they already spilled some information just to have us treat their sister.
Such as they came from a training camp of a secret organization somewhere Nysia's eyes couldn't reach. They were only deployed here after their training. In fact, this was their first job and they failed miserably by being defeated by me.
"That's much better. We have a way to break him, don't worry."
"I see. Without any reinforcement, they were left to die under you."
They're probably too late to act or they don't want to expose themselves yet. But with the mole in the League pulled out, they'll probably try to make more or there's still more hidden from her eyes.
"Whoever's behind them, they still don't deem it necessary to enter into a conflict with me. Tsk. To think it would be you who would discover this. My organization was also infiltrated by snakes."
Nysia clicked her tongue, clearly frustrated at this result. We might've destroyed one Black Market that catered to the Dark World denizens but how big is this world, really?
The three factions occupied at least 10-15% each of the whole landmass of this continent while the Primeval Aegis League only occupied a small city which was at least comparable to the Capital of the three factions, maybe around 1-2% of the landmass.
Apparently, people didn't venture outside the continent. Because there's nothing out there, they will just reach the other end of the continent. The whole World of Meta only consists of this one huge landmass. There were islands, sure but without any regenium mine there, the people didn't see any value in occupying it.
"I'll help you think about it later. What to do next?"
With Lexie and the others arriving, they'll surely be in charge of the proper cleanup and hauling in the resources. With destroyed Darkgens and dead Dark World denizens, if they try to dip their fingers in here, they'll just be met by Nysia's anger.
She now knew that one or even three of them were colluding with the Dark World in exchange for Dark Energy.
Nysia found at least two months worth of it stored in a container for energy below that Black Market, to whom it will be delivered or whoever will pick that up, only that Dark World denizen captive knows.
Well, her unit of measurement for it was the maximum capacity of her Special Absorption Room.
Though she's against the Dark World and tried to destroy it. I told her to use it for herself. She could convert it to Meta Energy to aid in her cultivation. It will double the effectiveness of using only this world's Source Energy.
I gave her two Necklaces for her to store those Dark Energy containers inside.
I wonder, how much are those idiotic Mythic-ranks paying for it? These Dark World denizens must have been preparing for the descent of their Transcendents. Are they building Ultimate Darkgens?
Just by the thought of it, I already felt uneasy. This world will really undergo something apocalyptic when that happened and that's not even counting the Anzeans.
With only four Transcendents and the other three even has the possibility to be dependent on them, this world is doomed, eh?
Hopefully, they could clear their minds, whoever they are, or else… this world might see a reduce in their native Transcendents.
"Wait here."
After saying that, she went to Lexie and the other Core Pilots who had just disembarked from their Metagens.
Looking at the faces of those Core Pilots who are currently trembling in front of her, they're surely getting scrubbed by Nysia's nagging and orders. Only Lexie had a smile on her face as if she's more than willing to slave away for Nysia.
Is she a closet M for her?
"Please. You said you'll treat her."
One of the triplet, the one riding the silver Metagen suddenly called out to me.
I looked back and saw the two of them looking at me with some kind of hope in their eyes. Though we did say that, I'm no doctor. That one probably got her head shook hard from my attacks earlier then after that, her energy got depleted. She only needs some rest and to recover her energy.
For them to worry like that, they probably haven't experienced that yet.
"Let's see. I can try but… what more can you tell us? The place you came from. What kind of place is it and who runs it?"
They're enemies to be interrogated but if they're willing to talk just for me to wake up that unconscious one, then I'll squeeze whatever information they have on them.
If it's just refilling energy, Physique and Spirit Boost were the answer. It's both generated using Flux Energy now, even if their effects were different from each other, the refilled energy contains the 4 assimilated energies.
"I… we don't know a lot but what we know is we were bought from our parents."
"We're vagrants, we're still young back then so…"
"When we were deployed here, we were blindfolded to keep the place secret."
"It was called the Order of the Dark Host."
They're truly desperate eh? The two sisters alternately talk. From what they said, they were gathering children and training them somewhere. Maybe not just children, anyone who has the talent to become a Rank S possibly.
And Order of the Dark Host? Dark could be pertaining to the Dark World. Then who's that Host?
After getting an answer, it was then met with more questions. Haa...
"Did they have some bindings on you? To safeguard that you will not betray them."
"No… They injected something but it was used to track us. There were others who kept on running away. If they activate it, we'll be paralyzed."
"But it was removed when we were sent here, instead, this is embedded in us."
The sister who was piloting the golden-winged Metagen pulled her clothes down. They were bound on their hand which restricted their use of energy that's why she could only try to stretch it down which revealed a spot on her chest.
Err… of course, it's not what others might think. In the place where the heart should be, a few inches above it could be seen a cube embedded into their body.
It's a transparent cube which clearly shows what's inside.
"Dark Energy…"
Seeing that, I couldn't help but whisper the energy's identity. That's a bomb embedded into them. If that cube containing that Dark Energy broke, they will be exposed to the energy and will be corrupted by it. With how dark it looked from outside, it's a compressed Dark Energy.
Upon my words, the two of them looked up, waiting for my next words.
