The frozen continent, Antarctica.
The last two Pocket Dimensions were located in this continent and… surprisingly, the Portal to the world where they were training the Earth Defense Army was also here.
It appeared during my Transcendent Mind Trial… It's a wonder that it could accurately pinpoint that place.
When I asked the Scientists, Researchers and Soldiers under the Principal's payroll managing the Portal, the world and its Source Energy fitted to what I could still remember during that Trial.
It can't be that this is already my 2nd run, right?
Well, being reincarnated could be considered as the 2nd run in life but going back in time? There's no indication that it was possible. Seeing into the future and going back to the past was in an entirely different scope.
Even if there's a possibility of that kind of ability existing somewhere in this wide Universe and numerous World Zones, that will be too godly even compared to my Adaptability that allowed me to tread on five different Mortal Pathways.
But after ruling out time-traveling to the past, I couldn't find a proper explanation for that to happen. Did someone predetermine what would happen if I chose differently that day?
Is that part of the Principal's Clairvoyance? No. He couldn't be someone who could influence someone's Transcendent Trials. No matter how strong he is, he's still just a Rank 4 Transcendent.
His Ability was even full of limitations…
Ah, well, why am I thinking about something I will not be able to answer again?
If there's a reason for that, it will be revealed sooner or later.
For now… it's time to finish this.

"Are you ready? This will be the last Pocket Dimension. After this, we're going back to Japan and see what will happen next."
Directing my question to the five girls who accompanied me around the world, on the tallest mountains or even underwater.
Yes, there was also a Pocket Dimension hidden under the major oceans and even the infamous Bermuda Triangle.
And guess what? Atlantis… has risen to the surface. Right now, it became another hot topic that the world focused on aside from Superhumans and the ability to tread the Earth's Mortal Pathway that was now collectively called as Transcension.
Not only Atlantis there were also other lost cities that were being discovered. Places that couldn't be seen before because of a formidable Concealment Formation that was only lifted because of the existence of the Level 3 Earth Energy.
Naturally, the Earth's Defense Army and its other Branches handled the discovery of those places. Even if the country leaders wanted to object, the thought of the sly old man's prowess was enough to let them freeze in their comfortable seats.
As to what kind of secret those places hold, we'll know soon after we're finished here.
"More than ready. It's too cold outside, I want to go home and roll in bed with you, Daisuke." Avelin answered. Although the innocence in her eyes already lessened because of me, there's still plenty of it that makes her even more adorable.
She sat down and the illusory flower that she would be nourishing appeared in front of her.
Following her comment, the other four had a smile on their lips as if conveying that they all had the same idea as Avelin. Sofiel even flapped her feathery wings to thaw the ice covering them.
Contrary to the icy terrain of this continent, the same desolate land was still existing inside the last Pocket Dimension.
After going in and out of different Pocket Dimensions, one thing was confirmed in my mind.
These Pocket Dimensions were created to preserve the Source Energy of the Earth. It's also the reason why the Earth became unawakened.
Most likely, the Earth being unawakened wasn't a result of an outside force but… a voluntary decision of whoever's in charge back then.
As for the reason why it did that, even abandoning the worlds connected to it, I had no idea at the moment.
Although it was voluntarily decided to revert the Earth to becoming an unawakened world, it was still meant to be awakened someday.
And the plan to do that started ever since that Principal and his comrades, how many they may be, began walking on Earth once again.
Yuko and I, along with the Heroes were only added when everything was already in place.
Meaning, the Orbs were already set to be acquired by my previous life's Companions.
Even without confirmation, I am certain of this speculation.
"Alright, we'll roll on the bed before going back to Yuko and the others, do you still have excess Energy Stones?"
Ever since the Principal left that night, the responsibility to put up an Energy Screen also befell me so instead of giving them 50% of my total Energy Control, I reduced it to half to maintain the Energy Screen filtering out the existing Psyche Energy in this Pocket Dimension.
To compensate for the missing 5% of what I was originally giving them to prevent themselves from putting too much strain on their bodies, the existence of Energy Stones to replenish their used Energy became a necessity.
"Don't worry, Daisuke. There's still a lot. These will be enough" Jayna answered as they started producing a pile of baseball-sized energy stones beside them.
I should've farmed for more stones when I was inside the Dimensional Space with Irja. At this point, we're already running out of it. Although there are still basketball-sized ones, those were reserved for our Absorption Sessions.
Ah. Thinking about it, that doesn't matter anymore. After this, the existence of the Source Energy on Earth would spark for the discovery of Energy Stone mines.
We'll just have to monopolize one mine to tend to our needs... Right?
As the five girls started nourishing the flowers in front of them, I naturally became a worrywart husband who started alternating between the five to wipe off the sweat that they were producing.
I couldn't help it. I didn't have anything to do at the first part except maintaining the Energy Screen and watching over their progress. Besides, I couldn't help but dote on all of them.
No matter what, they would always become the reason why I was doing all of this for Earth.
My motivation was always selfish. To begin with, even accepting becoming the support at the start was for my survival.
That's why… Trying to save the world is just an outcome because of how important my Companions are to me.
Few minutes soon passed and the flowers bloomed simultaneously.
As the five girls opened their eyes and directed their gazes on me, the five Orbs appeared in my hand and shot towards their respective flowers.
Following the same procedure as before, as soon as the flowers closed and devoured the five Orbs, I split my remaining Energy Control to send the necessary Energy to the five flowers.
BOOM!
Along with the explosion of light, the familiar sound of the series of notifications entered my mind.
