Four days later, the whole world was now in the process of accepting the change that was happening.
After the Circle of Miracle from Japan, the appearance of the circles didn't stop there. USA, England, India, Italy, Brazil, Singapore and the entirety of Southeast Asia.
It couldn't be said as happening slowly but gradually, the phenomenon that started in the heart of Japan was spreading.
Every day, new news articles would be written, new headlines would be made and new video clips about anything supernatural-related would be uploaded to popular video sites for everyone to see.
On the side, theories and rumors started spreading. Like a Catastrophe that would befall the Earth. A meteorite that would make humans extinct. The upcoming arrival of an Alien Civilization who aimed to enslave us. The eventual appearance of Dungeons and Labyrinths that would become a test for humanity.
And many more theories that although some were close to the mark, they're all wild speculation that was pulled out from fiction.
Well, if it was just Dungeon like what was written on those popular fictions, they could treat those Breached Portal locations as one.
Just that, the difficulty level would be high at the start and who they would face was the Possessed Earthlings. No matter how much excitement they generate from it, it would just end up in our loss.
Thankfully, my Companions and other Transcendents were actively breaking open those Breached Portals, killing the Possessed that cannot be saved and letting the Level 3 Earth Energy repair the crack in space that was connected to a Mortal World.
However, even if they completely eradicated every Dark Cult base or Breached Portal location in Japan, the countries where we restored the Source Energy started crying for help.
Due to that, their task extended and they started sending the Transcendents to various countries that asked for help.
Well, even if they didn't ask, only Transcendents would be able to solve and remove the Breached Portal locations.
Naturally, there were countries who tried using their own soldiers to launch an assault towards the exposed Breached Portal locations.
And the ending was always the same, total loss of contact after their entry.
Those Possessed weren't able to leave their created Zone because of how they would be purified by the Level 3 Earth Energy but inside it, they're in their own territory.
Apart from the successful assault from my Companions and the other Transcendents, there were also those who suffered a loss.
If that one Transcendent Hero from one of the European countries failed to leave the Zone, he would've died.
Nonetheless, it only happened because he thought he could do it by himself, disregarding Yuko and the girls' formulated plan wherein even if they found out that the Transcendents inside the Breached Portal location were stronger, they could safely retreat.
That guy lost an eye and an arm but overall, he's still alive after he recovered. However, there's no getting back his lost eye and arm.
Because of his example, the other Heroes fell in line and stopped questioning Yuko's decision.

[Orb of Concealment (65%)]
Looking at the updated status of the Orb, it finally reached more than half. And that also meant we're more than halfway to restoring the Source Energy of the Earth.
During these four days, despite the strain in their bodies due to continued exertion of their Energy Control, the five women with me used Energy Stones to restore themselves to perfect condition for us to hasten the completion of this endeavor.
Naturally, I was against that but all five of them sat with me during the first night and told me how they wanted to help me. By using the excuse that they're also benefiting from their continuous exertion of their Energy Control, they managed to convince me to not slow down this trip to the Pocket Dimensions and fully restore the Source Energy in this world.
In the end, I just produced more Energy Stones for them to use and I always checked their conditions before going inside the Pocket Dimension.
"Darling, look, Yuko is in the headlines again." Sofiel giggled as she pointed at the news being shown on the widescreen TV in our room.
As I followed her finger, the other four with us also stared at it and watched intently. By now, they were already assimilated into this current lifestyle and for sure, the five of them were truly satisfied to be with me all these days.
Although we always moved from country to country, whenever we would have free time, I would use it to spend time with them.
At the moment, we're currently in a luxurious hotel suite in Moscow, Russia. As expected of the Principal, everywhere we went, he's some kind of a hotshot so it wasn't really that hard for us to find a private place like this.
"Sister Yuko always sounded so serious in her interviews but whenever she's talking with Daisuke… she's always like a maiden experiencing her first love," Jayna commented while she's fiddling with some object which took her interest. During these four days, her curiosity was more than satisfied with every place and culture she would be exposed to.
"That also applies to us, don't you think so? I was feared as the strongest Transcendent in my World but before this guy… My destined husband… I will always be a maiden in love." Sending me her beautiful smile, Nysia stood up from where she was sitting and walked towards my back before putting me in her tight embrace.
Seeing that Nysia stole a march, Avelin jumped up and sat at her favorite place, my lap.
Just like this, our night was once again about to get fluffy.
However, a knock at the door stopped it.
By kissing both Nysia and Avelin first, I gently get out of the two women's embrace to open the door.
Although I was expecting him to come and disturb us anytime to brief us of the current situation, the Principal appeared solemn this time as if a serious matter had come up.
"Kuramoto-kun, You six should stay here for a while. There's an issue that I need to resolve first. I arranged for the next Pocket Dimension location, in two days go to the airport and someone will guide you to your plane. It will take you to your destination."
Ignoring the arrangement he told us, I was more intrigued about the issue that he needed to resolve.
"Hmm? What kind of issue is more important than restoring the Source Energy?"
"I'm afraid that even if I tell you, your current strength won't be enough to…"
The Principal stopped and didn't finish his sentence.
"Did something happen to my father?"
"No. Not him."
"If not him, then another one of you?"
The Principal nodded as his grip on his cane tightened.
It's rare for this Principal to show anger like this. All the time I interacted with him, he was always calm, confident and somewhat aloof.
Now I couldn't help but get curious as to what actually happened. Did one of them die when intercepting a Space Vessel?
"I'm already a Rank 2 Transcendent. Is that still not enough?"
"Indeed. In the greater scheme of things, that's nowhere near enough. Although we will not be able to stop every Space Vessel to arrive here on Earth, let us old ones reduce the risk that you will take. I only came here to inform you. Enjoy the night."
Ending his words like that, a Portal then opened behind him which eventually moved and took him out of our sight.
That sly old man… Are they going to face Rank 4 Transcendents? Well, there's that anger from him, something serious must've really happened and it's probably not just a simple case of failing to intercept a Space Vessel.
