Before the two left to aid Nysia and the Empire, I pulled them to me and gave them both a kiss. And that boosted their enthusiasm to the max.
Lexie and Elise who were watching from their Metagens had different reactions. Lexie called me shameless before turning off her channel to focus on the enemies again while Elise bit her lips. With her mature allure, that kind of gesture from her was too sexy but upon realizing what she did, Elise felt embarrassed as she quickly changed the topic.
"Daisuke, the Confederacy is also being attacked. Lunaria went there with half of the Aegis Battalion to help her mother. I think they also need help."
The Confederacy, huh? Well then, let's give the Old Man a chance.
"Erin, can you take your grandfather with you? The Confederacy is located in the south. You'll probably pass by the Free City first. Just skirt through it and continue on south."
"No problem. With you here, we're not needed to move anyway. But give me a kiss too! It's not fair if Irja and Zerina are the only ones who can get one."
"You don't need to ask for that. Come here." While I continued inputting commands on the Metagen and cutting down the retreating standard Darkgens, I beckoned for her to lean down for me to reach her lips, which she immediately did.
After being satisfied, Erin left the Metagen with a lovable smile. She called for her grandfather that's busy destroying Darkgens by having his Pillars bash onto them and flew to the south.
Lyra alone couldn't fight against multiple Transcendents. And although Lunaria was already a Legend Rank, she couldn't fight Ultimate Darkgens if they have any with only her Sapphire Moonflower.
"What about me, Daisuke?" Being left alone with me, Avelin wondered.
"Stay here with me. Surely these Darkbugs didn't just prepare these Mortal Ranks. I'll let you deal with them when the Transcendents arrived."
"I understand. Will it be bad if I sit on you, like this?" Without any other girls around, Avelin sneakily went in from under my arm before sitting on the space between my opened legs. Like this, she's like a kid who wanted to get a firsthand view when riding a bike.
"Not really, I long surpassed the needed Brain Capacity to maximize this Metagen's efficiency. Even if you cling to me, I will be able to operate it easily."
And she's sensible enough not to block my view. Let's treat it as one of our bonding moments.
With my answer, Avelin happily snuggled down as she watched the screen which showed the Darkgens trying their hardest to get out of my way.
At the moment, this Black Mist is the only Ultimate Metagen on the battlefield. Going high-key like this, I'm trying to draw out the enemy Transcendents.
"Uhm Daisuke…" Seeing another face appearing in my projected screen on hers, Elise couldn't help but call out to me awkwardly.
Seeing her slight hesitation to say something, I immediately understood what she wanted to say.
"Don't worry, Elise, I remembered my promise. Let's have a talk later, alright? For now, let's protect this mine."
"You're right. I seem to forget the place... Daisuke, you should also contact Leianne. She and Danae are at the Tower. You still have your communicator, right?"
Ah. Right, I have those hi-tech phones. Well, I'll greet them later.
At the moment, there were only Darkgens coming down from above to attack this place.
With every Darkgen I cut down with the Regenium Sword of the Black Mist, an Eldur Metagen would be saved. In this way, the tide of the battle gradually turned for the better.
However, something seemed to be missing.
"Elise, what happened to the Settler Faction? Did you contact them to help you?"
"They… They're being restricted by the Healing Faction at their settlement. Leianne already sent some Alliance Pilots to check on the situation."
"I see. As the ambassador, what do you think of the Settler Faction?"
"From the interactions I had with their leader, Krond. He's a sincere man who wanted the best for his people. But with this timing, I'm also suspecting that something's gone wrong on their side."
I still remember the Principal's warning about the Anzeans. Could it be they had different agenda? Are they playing both the World of Meta denizens and the Dark World at the same time?
There's no way to know. I'll pay them a visit after this and before we leave for another world.
"Let's hope they're not playing with us. Alright, follow me, Elise."
Elise immediately acknowledged and controlled her Metagen to arrive next to the Black Mist. After that, I also called Lexie and the Aegis Battalion at her command.
Adding Lexie and Elise temporarily to my Allies list, I gave the two the 50% Support Bonus. With that, they could now operate their Specialized Metagen at its maximum efficiency.
And I didn't stop at that. Every buff and Blessing in my arsenal was opened, boosting up every recognized ally caught in it.
In this way, the previously disadvantaged defenders started sweeping away the numerous Darkgen dropping from the sky.
Looking at their numbers, it speaks about the amount of regenium they managed to acquire from the three Factions during the 3 years.
Haa… I could now guess the certain doom of the three Heroes if I didn't arrive at this world. They'll either be executed as a rebel or be swarmed by Darkgens until their last breath.
Nysia too…
In any case, I already prevented that. The next thing I have to do is to rid this world of these Darkbugs and ultimately close the Portal.

At the New Haven Empire's mine, the explosions caused by the Darkgens were even more earth-shattering than where Daisuke and the others appeared from.
That's because of the existence of the Ultimate Darkgens with different builds.
At the moment, Nysia's Sanguine Aegis, superbly wielding its morning star while covered with the Aura of Protection, was currently faced against 8 Ultimate Darkgens piloted by Dark World Transcendents.
If looked at from afar, the 15-meter tall Ultimate Metagen of Nysia was dwarfed by the 20-meter tall Ultimate Darkgens.
However, every second that passed, the frame of one Darkgen would suffer tremendous damage whenever Nysia's weapon covered by Bluntforce hit them.
Fully utilizing her various abilities from her Defense Manipulation, even the toughest armor created by the combination of regenium and Dark Energy were being destroyed by her.
To retaliate against her, the eight Ultimate Darkgens opened their Domains to contain her movements. But with how high her current Brain Capacity, her Sanguine Aegis could display the maximum 400% Output.
It's like her every attack was magnified by four times its normal strength.
Because of Nysia's ferocity, the eight Darkgens were cautiously placing their attacks.
In their minds, although they didn't want to fight against the strongest Transcendent of this world, they had no choice but to do it.
Even if they offered her great benefits just for her to convert to Dark Energy, Nysia would only scrap those terms they're sending.
They've arrived in this world all high and mighty, thinking that conquering this world would be an easy cake. However, every time they will go out to take the field, they will be hindered and most of the time, sent running away by the leader of the United Alliance, Nysia Athonae.
Upon seeing the hesitation from the eight Transcendents, Nysia smirked before activating one of her skills.
Shield Mimicry!
From below, a huge piece of regenium was unearthed. Running her Meta Energy on it, the regenium block became a solidified clone of the Sanguine Aegis.
After that, Nysia switched onto the offensive, picking two Ultimate Darkgens to pummel down.
Suddenly, in front of her screen, the old face of Liam appeared distraught. Blood was dripping down from his head as he continued to operate his Ultimate Metagen.
"My Metagen has suffered critical damage. I apologize. I can only last for a few minutes now."
Unlike Nysia, he's only facing two Ultimate Darkgens. However, those two were the strongest among the ten.
Their strategy was simple, by keeping Nysia at bay, they're going to kill and destroy the Old Man. One less Transcendent of this world meant a lot for them.
If not for Nysia being sufficiently stronger than every Dark World Transcendent, they would've long conquered this world.
"Retreat for now, Liam. I'll send my clone to give you an opening."
"No! I'm still good to go! Reduce their numbers, Nysia. I can retreat when it's time. I'm still a Transcendent outside this lump of metal!"
"Old man, Don't be stubborn. Didn't you feel that? Look at the east!" Nysia shouted.
From her screen that's currently facing in that direction where the Eldur Mine should be located, a huge disturbance could be seen happening on it.
Even if they're kilometers away from it, Nysia could guess that the origin of that disturbance was Daisuke's group who arrived from the World of Barbarian.
"Elise is there. If it's Daisuke. She will tell him about the situation here. Retreat now to preserve that Metagen of yours. I'll deal with all 10 of them. Knowing my husband, he will not hesitate to go here or send someone that can resolve this current situation." With excitement in her voice, Nysia once again urged the old man to retreat.
Faced with that almost fanatical trust of Nysia towards Daisuke, Liam could only nod as he immediately inputted commands and channeled his ability to his Metagen to create a path of retreat for him.
Following that, before the two Darkgens can chase after him, the clone made from regenium blocked their way. Although it's not as strong as the original, it's strong enough to create an opening for the Old Man to retreat.
"You ten Darkbugs, why don't you put your back on it and defeat me?" Broadcasting her voice, Nysia taunted her enemies. Fully circulating her energy, she started calculating the total time she got before she started taking damage from them.
With Metagens and Darkgens only mirroring one's Intelligence Stat and everything rests on the craftsmanship of the metal giant, even if she's at the absolute advantage at the moment, she wouldn't be able to defeat all of them.
