"The New Haven Mine is located here while the Eldur Mine is here."
Lexie pointed at two different points on the map presented in front of us where the three regenium mines and the three factions were highlighted.
At this era, there's nothing more important than those mines.
Regenium is the lifeline of this world. If they take that away, the Metagens will be made simpler and run poorly. Also, the technology wouldn't be this advanced. It could overhaul everything if the regenium disappeared.
"I know everything about the Empire's Mine. Leave it to me."
Imperial Princess Leianne raised her hand. She stood up and looked around the long table before settling her eyes on me.
A few days have already passed since that day when her father, the Emperor, fought her grandfather just outside the city walls. After they went back from the meeting with the Anzeans, Leianne heard of what happened and what her father demanded.
I talked to her about it and she told me that her father is serious at taking her back. He needed her to polish any plans he could devise. It's not that she's expert at it, they just really have almost the same track of mind. In fact, it could be said that they needed each other to fill in the gaps of anything they could come up with.
For example, there was that plan of hers back when they arrived as delegates. It was flawed and seen through by me because there's no polishing made by her father.
Now that her father expressed his intention, she became more eager to work hard and be useful to our cause. She didn't want us to suspect her or think that she still has an inclination to go back.
Her ambition is still there, however, as someone still not a Transcendent, this is all she could do. Rely on our cause.
"Sir Daisuke. Will you allow me?"
There was a hopeful glint in Leianne's eyes as she stared at me.
She's a Legend-rank and with her knowledge, she will be a great help.
"No problem. I will take you with me."
I nodded and expressed my agreement. When she heard it, a smile couldn't help but peek from her lips.
I presented this idea of taking the mines to stop the supply of Regenium for the Dark World.
Since Lucas and Julian already expressed their allegiance and intent on selling this world off to the Dark World, those Darkbugs on the moon started deploying themselves on the now under tyranny, New Haven and Eldur.
We managed to intercept most of their cargos but still, with how large the world is, it's hard to really halt everything.
We needed to take control not only of the mines but also the entirety of the Empire and Eldur to effectively cut them off.
And that means another war. We already have the advantage in troops but they now got the protection of the Darkgens and Specialized Darkgens.
"Now that it's decided, let's prepare the plan. Will it really be fine with only you, husband?"
Nysia stood up. She took up the position of the Alliance Leader but in truth, we're both leading it. She always consults me about everything and vice versa. Like with all my other Companions, we're in an equal relationship rather than someone being on top of another.
? "Un. Hold the fort for us. Lyra and Liam will take the Eldur's mine."
I turned to the other two Transcendents in the room. They've already integrated themselves into our Alliance. Old Man Liam's title has now changed from the Imperial Guardian to Alliance Guardian.
2 days ago, the four of us met the World's Will. It's not as if we know where it is located. Our consciousness was summoned by it. To talk about the current situation of this world.
Due to that, I got to finally ask everything I wanted to know from it, also I got the Portal skill from it. Using that skill, I could now go back to this world without relying on the Heroes' summoning portals. Going back to the Earth still needed the corresponding portal permission as well though. I gotta ask the Principal for that.
"The Dark World has already deployed most of their accumulated troops down here. We will be fighting Darkgens now. Tsk. Selling out our world to the enemies."
The Matriarch, Lyra clicked her tongue. When she learned about what I did at the cube on Lunaria's chest back then, she immediately asked me for a spar. Her soft spot is her daughter. If she could protect her back then, she wouldn't really resort to sending her here.
As for Lunaria's father. It's best not to ask her about it. Well, that's according to Lunaria's warning.
"The Anzeans will also send a representative that will join this mission."
Elise added. Apart from being the face of the Light's Cradle, she also presented herself to become the point of contact for the Anzeans.
Their meeting back then resulted in a ceasefire and temporary alliance. Through that meeting, whether it was true or not, we finally got the gist of why they are here and what's their goal.
Their World is already on the verge of being destroyed not because of an invasion but because of a natural catastrophe. Through their advanced stellar technology which they traded for some of the invented technology of this world, we found out that they're only a few planets away from the World of Meta. They're in the same Star System and to be more precise, it could be compared to the distance between Earth and Jupiter.
Their real purpose for coming here is due to the almost the same Source Energy signature. With their World in that kind of state, they needed to find somewhere to migrate to.
Their whole civilization is now living in their Mothership which travelled to their world from here every year. To replenish their supply of Energy. They're still connected to that world and every newborn was also adapting to their Source Energy.
About them attacking the World when they first arrived and the following years after that, it was attributed to their previous Civilization Leader.
Well, that's according to them. For now, we accepted that explanation. Their Mothership is still there, outside the atmosphere. As for landing and creating settlements to the ruined places, that's still not in their plans.
Currently, they have 2 Transcendents leading their civilization and Nysia told me that they more or less have the same strength as Lyra and Liam.
"Can they really be trusted?"
This time, Liam opened his mouth for the first time. He already had some interaction with the Anzeans before.
The Pentacoms who chased after me when I was on the run before were sent by his son.
The Anzeans don't have a connection to the Dark Host but they're directly linked to the Empire through the Emperor.
There's still a lot of unknowns but still, that gave us an idea on what the Anzeans are.
Also, we didn't tell them about the existence of Dannae and her mother but one Anzean Transcendent asked about the mother, Dianne. It doesn't necessarily mean that he's the father but Nysia told me how there's a hint of concern when he asked that.
Well, that could be solved if she woke up from her coma.
"For now, with a little over a week before the predicted widening of the Portal, it's best to just be wary of them and work together to cut off the weeds in our ground."
Nysia answered him before we moved on to the actual planning of the operation.

"Daisuke! Help me!"
Kazeyoshi's face filled the holographic screen when he accepted the call from me.
"What is it? Is Amry mad at you again?"
After securing the Scorched Forest. I had the three of them to be sent there. To stand guard and also to train themselves against the Mutated Beasts lurking in there while getting the benefit of the Special Environment.
Though Matthew and Amry rejected it at first to continue guarding Leianne and Elise, I reminded them of why we are here in this world in the first place.
The two women they wanted to protect are both Legend-ranks and it's not like I'll use them as baits.
Elise felt liberated after breaking off from Julian. According to her, it was a marriage set by her family to rise up in ranks. But for the years that they were together, they never produced a child, it could be because of her rejection to sleep with him, who knows? It's not something she would openly talk about after all.
Of course, as the Enthroned Prince and the highest authority in his country, he has a lot of concubines who bore his children.
"Daisuke, this idiot is being an idiot again!"
Kazeyoshi was pulled out of the screen and was replaced by the fuming Amry.
"Alright, you know, you're free to do anything you want with your man. Anyway, I'm just checking up on you three. How's the progress?"
"He's not my man! Who would like that idiot?"
Amry flared up literally upon activating her Pyrokinesis and sent a fireball towards Kazeyoshi which deflected it by creating a Wind Barrier through the use of his Aerokinesis.
Upon seeing that, I could only nod my head. He's finally making progress at using his ability.
"We're doing fine. It won't be long before breaking through to Diamond-rank"
Matthew who was listening in at the side answered my question since the two started fighting. Amry triggered by what I said and Kazeyoshi defending himself to not be burnt by her.
I'm glad none of my Companions is a tsundere like her.
"That's good news. I might sound demanding but I need you three to become a Transcendent as soon as possible. Something happened which requires me to leave this world."
I said in a serious tone which instantly alerted the three of them.
