Just like how I predicted it, the same thing that happened during Yuko's breakthrough to her Master Hero System also happened to me.
With the Dark Energy which transformed to Flux Energy which also transformed to World Energy for it to accommodate the System Pathway, I was put inside a lotus-like cocoon before a square System Window conjured in front of me. As drops of World Energy continued to pour inside me, the progress bar that could be seen in that System Window slowly filled up from 0 to 100%.
Only when the System Window displayed the 'Upgrade Complete' message did the cocoon opened up, releasing me from inside it.
And as usual, the series of notifications about my successful breakthrough to the 4th realm of the System Pathway rang out as soon as that happened.
"So I finally became a 'Hero', huh?"
Since it's at the top and the first thing I read, I couldn't help but smile bitterly from seeing it.
Starting from Support Character then Professional and Expert, I thought it would follow Yuko's System Name and pick Support Master System.
Well, I guess there's no real meaning behind it. I'm now stronger than most heroes. The Support Hero being the strongest among all of them, it's kind of funny in a way. There's still Yuko and Yumiko who's stronger than me anyway so I couldn't call myself the strongest yet. With my breakthrough, they received another boost in stats. Not just them but every one of them, be it my Companions or the Supported Individuals.
With this breakthrough in the System Pathway, Jayna and Fleur would've received the notifications about the change that happened to me by now. And through those, it's possible for them to guess that I'm not at that World of Elements by now.
Even if they didn't, the additional stats they received would provide a boost to their overall strength. Fleur even went past the 300 UPL mark and was now recognized by the System as a Rank 2 Transcendent. With her breakthrough to the 5th Stage of Elemental Reawakening Realm as well as the Support Bonus which she received from me back when she was added as my 9th Companion, her stats were already pushed near the UPL 300. That's why among the six of us who were assaulting the Zones, she's the one who's the most at ease fighting the Rank 1 Transcendents.
Apart from that, I truly appreciate the addition of Allies. Through that, I can now Support someone not included in the support individuals. Reinys, Caila, Noelle, Old Man Reol, Ophelia, Ezyn, Yse, Rei, Ren, Jagu, Chee, Old Man Liam, Matriarch Lyra, Arland, Rael, Emrel and Oriel. All the individuals I named were all those I considered adding as an ally. I know all of them personally and well, they're like the representatives of their world if I didn't count my Companions native to each world.
Also, Lunaria, Leianne, Elise and Dannae were all somewhat being considered as future Companions so I didn't include them in the naming of my allies. It will all depend on what we will decide upon meeting once again when I return to the World of Meta. Although I can talk to them through Nysia and the Incarnation sometimes, all of those were all short instances. Three out of the four of them were all Rank 5 Mortals. If they really became my Companions, the full Support Bonus they will receive is enough to push them to the threshold. Dannae can also possibly reach that due to how high the Support Bonus is already.
In that case, that's four more Transcendents on our side. That's a bright future, eh?
But the first thing I need to do is to escape from this World. I have the Portal Skill back to the World of Elements. I just don't know if it will work in this world. The World's Will of this world might interrupt it and for safety's sake, I will try to go back using that Portal to go back to their side quickly.
A lot is still unknown about that Portal and the Dimensional Passageway. And using that Portal from this world might provide answers to some of my questions. Questions such as why are the Transcendents I encountered after coming out of the Portal didn't descend to the World of Elements? I didn't receive any backlash from entering it from the World of Elements, is it possible that the Transcendents here were finding it hard to enter it which can explain why they're descending one by one? If being a Transcendent isn't the problem then it's possible that possessing the Dark Energy as one's Source Energy is.
Haa… Piles of unanswered questions that I already lost count how many.
Well then, let's move on. The other enhancements which I got were all self-explanatory and even the Support Hero's Awakening was easy to understand. Clones of myself which could be used in a desperate situation. Since I already have boosts for Strength, Endurance and Intelligence, two more choices appeared, Energy Amplifier and Energy Durability. Level 4 Energy Amplifier provides a 20% Amplification bonus. and Level 4 Energy Durability provides a 20% Sustainability bonus. Amplification is easy to understand while Sustainability pertains to how sturdy one's energy is. It will be harder to nullify them or destroy a barrier weaved from Energy. The multiple layers of screens which I created to cover this cavern were also included in it.
Picking one of the two, I naturally selected Amplification. A stronger attack can lead to a quicker result of a battle after all. If they can't cope with their enemies then I will advise them to run away.
Although that's my style which I'm trying to push into them, it's effective most of the time and they will surely see the charm of it.
There's also the Bond of Serendipity for me and my Companions. It's passive so I won't know what it can actually do but judging from its description, it's another clutch skill that will be activated when the need arises. Like a Protective Charm for all of us, however, it will be derived from our Skills. If even the skill drawn from it isn't enough then that will be our misfortune.
"Hmm… Are you done? Then it's time to catch you."
While I was lost in thought, a voice I somehow recognized suddenly rang out inside the cavern. I hadn't noticed or it's impossible for me to notice. Only when the Transcendent Aura of someone dreadfully stronger than me covered the whole cavern did I notice the presence that was watching me for who knows how long.
