In the World of Elements, at Aves, the flying territory of the Luxians, Daisuke's four Companions; Yumiko, Jayna, Sofiel and Fleur were huddled around his Avatar who had just returned to being mute after Daisuke stopped controlling it.
Instead of using Interdimensional Communication, controlling the Avatar became his way to check on them.
Of course, if they really missed seeing him not just an avatar, they would still use the 10-minute video call.
Having received the news that he was about to go back as soon as the newly added Companions reached Transcendence, the four started another discussion.
"Darling will be bringing an army of Transcendents in the form of our sisters. Isn't it be better for us to surprise him by presenting the head of that clown who's calling himself as a mighty descendant?"
Sofiel stood up and waved her hand. On it, a moving image appeared through the use of her Elemental Energy.
The moving image was the former Noxian Capital with its iconic tower in the middle.
Ever since the Portal to the Dark World was closed the Noxians became completely ruled by him. After some probing on Sofiel and the other Transcendent's prowess, he pulled out every Dark World denizen and Noxian Mortal Ranks back, ceasing every battle or skirmish that was happening.
Following that, he declared a truce and started talking about bettering their diplomatic relations. Naturally, Sofiel as the Supreme Pontiff of the Great Protector Church and the strongest Transcendent among the World of Element's denizens declined what he wanted.
Nonetheless, she also didn't move out to deal with him. Not because she's being cautious or afraid of him but because of the existence of her man's Avatar near her.
The Avatar, despite being a product of Daisuke's Crown Skill, had the same line of thought as the original. He's always worried about the girls' safety.
"I agree. I'm the same as you two now. I passed the 300 UPL threshold. One Rank 2 Transcendent against three of us… we can deal with him!" Yumiko raised her fist and pointed it in the direction where the Noxian Capital should be.
Fleur didn't answer but her silence and the shining glint in her eyes which spoke of her determination to do something against the enemy of this world was enough.
And that leaves the curious girl's decision to reach a unanimous decision.
"But he… He will stop us." Jayna pointed to the Avatar who's listening in on them.
All their eyes turned to the Avatar who had his arms crossed as he observed and listened to their conversation.
"I understand darling's worry. He's always like that even during our past lives. However, I'm confident with our current strength. Furthermore, he's not really one fond of being given full control. Yumiko, remind us what we are to him."
"We're his equals."
"There you have it. We just have to convince this representative of him that we're not just blindly trying to do something to impress him." Sofiel gave a meaningful smile and stood before Daisuke's Avatar. Stretching her hand to touch his face that's a perfect copy of Daisuke, she started conversing with him wordlessly.
Behind her, the three women also stood up and stood behind her. Yumiko stared at the Avatar. Fleur pursed her lips as if she wanted to say something. And Jayna clasped her hand together as if she was praying to an imaginary deity.
Despite being only a being of pure Energy, he also fully replicated the original's feelings towards these four extremely beautiful women. That's why he was never leaving their side. Besides, Daisuke's order for him was to protect these precious Companions of his. Before anything else, that's the Avatar's highest priority.
He can be reconstructed even if he dies or destroyed anyway so he's more than willing to use his body to become their Shield.
In the end, the Avatar released a sigh before asking for a pen and paper where he started writing his thoughts about the four women's plans.
"There. He finally agreed to us. Thank you, darling. Since your memory will merge with this Avatar, let this become a pleasant surprise for you."
Sofiel pulled the Avatar's head and aimed to plant her lips to it.
However, a clear voice suddenly came out from the Avatar. "As I thought, you will not be able to restrain yourself to suggest something like this. Good thing it's easy to connect to this Avatar."
As soon as they heard that, Sofiel only froze for a bit as she continued at what she was about to do. With her damp lips overlapping with the lips of Daisuke's Avatar, Sofiel's longing for him was triggered, becoming more eager to do more. She's filled with the thought that her beloved darling would be able to clearly feel this kiss they were sharing in real-time. Ignoring Yumiko and the other two's gazes from behind her, Sofiel indulged herself in Daisuke's embrace.
With her long blonde hair gently fluttering from the wind entering through her opened windows, Sofiel then cupped the Avatar's face and stared at him with her dazzling sky-blue eyes while maintaining that meaningful smile at her exquisite lips. "What do you think, darling? You surely have seen the discussion we just had. If you have something to add, please do so. Or if you reject our idea then naturally, we will respect your decision."
The Avatar reached for Sofiel's cheek before gently shaking his head. "No. I approve of it. Like you said, we're not in a relationship where I am the only one making a decision. I will gladly welcome your ideas. And with this plan you just presented… I have no objection to it. " After saying that, the Avatar sighed. "I'm sorry if it looked or felt like I was restricting you. But Sofiel and Yumiko had the right approach. As long as you tell me, there's no way I will ignore that. We're on an equal standing. Jayna and Fleur too, don't hesitate, alright?"
The two nodded and stepped forward, expressing their agreement to him with a kiss.

As I cut off the connection to the Avatar for the 2nd time of the day, the smile I had when I was controlling it remained.
Those girls… I knew they would do something. After all, my Avatar was always with them. As days passed ever since the Portal in that world closed, not only Sofiel but all four of them were getting restless from the lack of movements from the enemy.
However, being the worrywart that I am, I kept reminding them to wait for me or us to arrive. But after being presented a plan like that, I was convinced that even if my real body wasn't there with them, they would be able to pull that off.
They're not the only Transcendents there after all. There were the two Heroes; Hikari and Boris, Arland and the three Luxian Transcendents.
Moreover, the dragon couple already reached the threshold along with four from the Elites I trained from when I was still there.
Because of the destroyed Dark World Zones, that world's Source Energy improved further. Factoring that and their continued training be it outside or inside the simulation, it was no surprise to see them reaching the threshold.
The only threat left in that world was that descendant after all. He's a lone Rank 2 Transcendent. Anyone from the three Rank 2 Transcendent Companions I have there would be able to keep the guy in check while the other 2 along with the other Transcendents deal with the other Dark World Transcendents and the two Noxian Transcendents.
With the Portal closed, that true leader of the Noxians wouldn't be able to go back anymore and even if he did manage to go back, he alone wouldn't be enough to turn their situation around.
That descendant declaring a truce and approaching them for diplomacy was just him trying to buy time. Perhaps he was thinking that he would be able to turn the situation around if he waited.
My Avatar was there with them anyway. I gave it the order to protect the four of them if something uncalculated happened.
"They're out!" Avelin exclaimed as she pointed up to the sky.
Staring from the loud cracking sounds and the surge of Energy as if it would turn into a storm, the remaining four Doors of Transcendence simultaneously shattered at the same time.
Before even the pieces of the shattered door land on the ground or vanish into nothingness, the four women gently floated down to our location.
Even though they appeared as if they're not emotional like the first three, they were just hesitating to act on it.
So to help them, I smiled and opened my arms, beckoning towards them.
Upon seeing that, the first to move was Dannae. With her new Transcendent Body, she's now looked more mature, with her body growing in those places. Moreover, her dark brown hair was now fully hiding her little feelers. Still, when she embraced me, those two peeked out again, responding to what the girl was currently feeling.
Following Danne, the three also took their turns, casting off the hesitation they had earlier.
Apart from the Enhanced Regeneration, Enhanced Physical Attack and Enhanced Weapon Mastery from Noelle, Caila and Ophelia, the rest who had just reached my Companions also gave me useful Passive Skills.
From Reinys, Enhanced Fire Elemental Spells.
From Dannae, Enhanced Energy Amplification.
From Leianne, Enhanced Cold Resistance.
From Elise, Enhanced Fire Resistance.
From Lunaria, Enhanced Stealth.
Although they're not that apparent, every Passive Skill I got from my Companions was being put to great use. Moreover, all of my Companions also received different iterations of those Passive Skills, silently improving everyone's prowess.
Even without the buff from my Domain of Valor, ordinary Transcendents will have a hard time dealing with them. And with these additional Passives, those four at the World of Elements, who's probably already on their way to the Noxian Capital, would have more assurances under their belts.
