Feeling the pain from his shoulders, the descendant squirmed as he tried to get out of my grasp.
Unfortunately, that's impossible. As he endured the pain from my grip, I continued.
We're still flying anyway. Moreover, Nysia used the Sanguine Aegis for transportation. Although she wouldn't be able to use it indefinitely because of the insufficient technology, our Ultimate Metagens could be used as a convenient mode of transportation. Furthermore, the Specialized Metagens of Leianne and the others were left behind to upgrade it into Ultimate Metagens. Also, even if the Specialized Metagens could now be piloted by any other Source Energy, its engine still needed the specific Meta Energy, rendering it to be a fancy car as well.
Perhaps we would only be able to use Metagens without any restriction in the same Psyche-type World.
Because I still couldn't simultaneously control my real body and my Avatar at the same time, my real body was resting next to one of my girls. Nysia already had the destination set so I still have a few minutes to kill here.
"You got caught easily. For a descendant, isn't that embarrassing? You're lucky those girls thought of extracting what's in your head. If it's up to me there's no point doing that anymore."
I went back in front of the descendant and delivered a slap on his other cheek.
After grunting in pain, he blinked thrice and squinted his eyes to see who's in front of him.
With a horrified expression on his face, the descendant mustered what's left of his strength to shout. However, what came out of his mouth was a disappointment. The idiot wasted that strength of his to ask that useless question.
"Huh?! Who?! Who are you?! Where am I?!"
"Oi. Isn't that line overused already? Get on with the times! Your question should be 'Why did you capture me?'. Now you lost your chance to get some real answers."
Honestly, I don't think this guy can provide sufficient information.
I already learned enough from Irja and Alwyn after all.
Even though Irja had outdated information due to being imprisoned for 20 years, her general knowledge consisted of something every Rank 2 Transcendent like this guy possessed. And Alwyn currently has all the time in her hands to gather information while she's waiting for the issue of the massacred personnel at Portal Camp to die down.
Just two days ago, Alwyn informed me about the movements of the 19 Tribes managing the opened Portals.
Because of two more Portals being closed, they started mobilizing more Transcendents, especially Rank 2 to continue sending them down to the remaining opened Portals.
Nonetheless, she told me not to worry too much about it as unrest started to happen in their world. Around five days after we descended to the World of Barbarian, more Dimensional Space manifested and most of them were located at the 19 tribes' territories.
Even if there's hidden importance about the Mortal Worlds that they hadn't broadcasted to the whole world, they couldn't ignore those Dimensional Spaces or else, their territories will be ravaged by another Transcendent World's experts.
In any case, I shouldn't let my Companions' efforts go to waste. Even if there's only a small chance, he might be holding to information about those Space Vessels and their destination. Moreover, since he's a descendant, he certainly owned a crystal that could let him contact his father or whoever sent him down in this Mortal World.
Well, I'm not keen on the chances but it's better than nothing.
This isn't my first time interrogating someone anyway. Let's see if he would be able to disown his family to escape the excruciating pain he would be put under.

Unaware that the strongest among them was already caught, the couple of Noxian Transcendents and the Dark World Transcendents who got provoked by Fleur's Transcendent Spell continued their pursuit.
However, that's all they managed to achieve. Pursuing Fleur who eventually stopped and blocked each and every attack they sent, be it Physical or Energy-based.
With her control over the Water Element, she created a thick and impenetrable Water Barrier that stopped whatever they threw at her.
Utilizing her mastered Elemental Spells, her counterattacks were also swift. Just by their difference in UPL, Fleur was at the absolute advantage.
If she put her mind to it, picking them off one by one was a definite possibility with her current strength. Moreover, just by engulfing them in her Aquatic Domain and conjuring her Aquatic Beasts to attack them, all of them were pushed back and separated.
Although Sofiel was aware that they would be provoked with that high-key assault, she was amazed upon seeing the eight Transcendents becoming like crazed dogs chasing after Fleur even outside the confines of their territory and even after being aware of her strength.
According to their original plan and assumption, they would go back immediately upon noticing that they were lured out.
But the result was above that assumption, especially the two Noxian Transcendents.
Because of their stupidity or ignorance, it became easy for their group to round them up and deal with them without any fuss.
While Fleur was toying the eight Transcendents using continuous casting of lower node Water Elemental Spells, Sofiel and the three Luxian Transcendents positioned themselves to entrap them in a Light Cage, a product of a combined Light Elemental Spell.
It was a flashy but sturdy Elemental Spell that was created by Sofiel in hopes of using it to help Daisuke entrap his enemies and deal with them without breaking a sweat.
By utilizing the Light Elemental Energy in the surrounding area along with one's own Energy, a Pillar of Light would be conjured that had the height of 30 meters. Joining with three more Luxian who would cast the same spell, the Pillars of Light would expand to create a cube-like cage that not only would entrap anyone caught in it, they would also become subjected to numerous Light Spears.
Although that was the first time they used it, the three Luxian Transcendents are faithful followers of the Great Protector Church. Following their Supreme Pontiff's example, they poured all their Light Elemental Energy to keep the Light Cage in full operation.
As soon as the Light Cage was activated, Fleur stopped bothering with the eight Transcendents anymore. By pushing them away with a wave of Water Elemental Energy, she left the cage without a hint of sweat, letting Sofiel and the three Luxian Transcendents deal with them.
Although the grudge she had towards Benedict and Marina for killing her master hadn't been resolved yet, she's already way past being blinded with revenge.
In the end, Fleur knew that none of the two traitors of this world would be able to leave that cage anymore.
Ever since becoming Daisuke's Companion, Fleur had long surpassed the prowess and the knowledge of a normal Mortal World Transcendent like the couple.
Hearing the stories and knowledge that Daisuke would always tell them from his experiences, her vision gradually broadened. Her eyes weren't just looking at their little world anymore.
Marina and Benedict, in her opinion, had a very narrow vision. Abandoning their world without knowing what it would entail… Instead of the previous rage she was harboring for them, Fleur had started pitying their ignorance. Whatever they were fighting for, they were all insignificant in the eyes of those at a higher world.
In less than five minutes after Fleur left the Light Cage, Sofiel and the three Luxian Transcendents released the Elemental Spell.
As soon as it disappeared, eight lifeless bodies plummeted to the ground.
After ordering the three Luxian Transcendents to loot whatever they could from the eight dead Transcendents, Sofiel and Fleur took one last glance at the two dead natives before flying off to the direction where Yumiko's group was holding the descendant of the Great One.

After torturing… err… interrogating the descendant of the Great One Rhellor, apart from knowing his ancestry as one of the most talented among the three thousand great-grandchildren of Rhellor, the only valuable info I got from him was the information about why they chose to open the Portal on the 30 Mortal Worlds that had a connection to Earth.
According to him, something happened around seven years ago that made his great-grandfather be alarmed. And that four years after that, the three Great Ones opened those 30 Portals to Mortal Worlds that was oddly enough, far away from the normal Mortal Worlds they're invading.
If I did the math and factored every piece of information in my mind, the blank in my memory fitted that time frame…
Could it be that I was the reason why these worlds were targeted and the Earth was exposed?
It's connected to the awakening of my previous life memories that that phase of my life got ripped off by whoever's responsible…
As soon as I reached that point of thought, I left that secluded room to see Jayna and Yumiko first before cutting off the connection to my Avatar to look for Yuko.
However, when I opened my eyes, Nysia's Sanguine Aegis had already stopped moving since we already reached our supposed destination.
While hovering in midair, the holographic screen of the Metagen fully reflected what was in front of us wherein all my Companions were watching closely.
Right, there was also that.
Apart from the plan to lure out the Transcendents and capture that descendant, Sofiel and Yumiko also asked Arland and the Elites to march towards the Noxian Capital to mount a siege.
What they did was a swift mobilization that they didn't bring those Rank 3 Mortals and below to shorten the marching time.
And at this moment, The Elites of the four native races, including the Noxians who defected to our side were mounting their siege at a broken wall that Arland probably made and fighting against the remaining Dark World Mortal Ranks and Noxians who didn't escape when Fleur flooded the Central Area.
