When my memories returned, the knowledge about the known observable universe and astronomy were all subverted.
Although some might be somewhat accurate, the total scope of the world was like a pyramid wherein the weaker worlds were at the bottom while the stronger ones were at the top.
Well, in actuality it's really hard to navigate without pinpointing a World's actual location because of how vast the World is and how many World Zones were existing. So for the three incoming Invasive Worlds to arrive, they needed those Dark Cult members to send the exact coordinates.
When I sacrificed everyone to keep the Earth hidden from the Divine World's eyes, I had the World's Will steer the Earth and its fixed star back towards the desolate area or to the place where Mortal Worlds and planets without Source Energy filled the Zone.
For how long it traveled from its previous location, I had no idea but when the Earth was still considered awakened, there were no other planets or worlds that were orbiting the fixed star or the Sun along with the Earth.
Those planets probably got pulled in by the fixed star.
At the present, the Mortal Worlds that were connected to Earth might not be in the same World Zone but the Subordinate World where Hajime was sending the Earth Defense Army for training was probably closer but located in a different Star System.
Ah, As for that Subordinate World… It's a newly-born Natural World that the World's Will pulled near where he sent the frozen Mortal Ranks or my father and the sly old man's group to train for a while before implementing the plan to prepare the Earth for the Heroes and our reincarnation. They then maintained the connection to it for the future use of the Earth Defense Army.
Normally, there's only one planet or world that would contain a Source Energy in a Star System. The situation of the World of Meta and the World of Anzeans existing in the same Star System was a rare occurrence.
Because this World Zone was probably considered to be at the bottom-most area in the known Universe, the Chaotic Energy, or the energy existing in the Space which I couldn't adapt to, was considered to be at the lowest density.
That was evident with a lot of other planets without Source Energy.
In truth. That Chaotic Energy was the reason why Natural Worlds were being born and what was needed for a Creator to control to a certain extent to create a World.
The threshold for becoming a Creator was Rank 4 Sage but not everyone at that stage would be able to create their own world since there's a lot of factors and it's not really that rewarding.
The Spirit or Dark World was created by me for me and my Companions to settle in. I was still afraid of the World's Will of Earth back then after all.
As for the World of Systems, I created it before I reached the Divine Stage. The reason I created it was only for progress in my Pathway.
That's why Yuko was the first one who became a Transcendent in it. But because of the fact that it's a Created World, it's impossible for it to become a Transcendent World even if more Transcendents appeared from that world.
Now, these Invasive Worlds that were about to invade us could be said to be fed with information that a hidden higher World was existing in this World Zone through that burst of Divine Energy from me years ago. Zaraya and the other two Great One probably only communicated with them since they all had the same goal. The plundering of a higher world that was normally impossible for them.
Moreover, by sending those Energy Clones that possessed the Earthlings, they discovered that there was no Source Energy existing on Earth which made them instantly steer towards this direction. If they managed to plunder this World of its Source Energy Core, even if it's currently unawakened, it could allow their World to inch closer to becoming a Sage World.
However, before even landing on Earth, they already lost some of their experts by the blockade made by my father and the others.
Even if the Earth had already restored its Source Energy before their arrival, it's already too late to go back.
Well, they would still continue because of the lack of Sage.
Compared to the number of Transcendents on Earth that they took note of while we're still in the other world, they probably believed that as long as they dealt with us, they would be able to bag Earth and go home triumphantly.
"... This, a Level 3 Source Energy! This is really a higher world! Moreover… it's not as dense yet. If we dawdled, we wouldn't be able to easily land like this."
As the elongated capsule-like Space Vessel that was as big as a commercial airplane landed on the surface of an African desert, one red-skinned Transcendent who's most likely the leader of this group emerged from its interior.
Following him, at least 50 red-skinned Transcendents flew out and spread out to plant Pillars of unknown material, creating an area wherein the Level 3 Earth Energy was suddenly filtered out and sucked inside storage tanks.
They instantly made a sanctuary for themselves, removing the restrictions on their bodies brought by the existing Level 3 Earth Energy.
The way they moved was so swift that before the dust clouds produced by their landfall subsided, they already erected their base of operations.
The impact of their landfall was softened to the extent that there was no crater beneath their Space Vessel. Most likely, this kind of invasion was what they were always doing. Unlike the Dark World who often used Portals to invade and conquer a world, these guys were this straightforward.
They would send Space Vessels to subdue the world easily.
As I jumped out from my hiding spot and moved closer to properly observe them, I intentionally made myself to be noticed by that leading Transcendent.
"Oh. Would you look at this? A single… Hmm? Rank 2 Transcendent coming in to welcome us. This is wonderful. They truly had just restored their Source Energy…" That red-skinned leader who appeared at least two meters in height and possessing a toned and bulky body smirked while showing his yellow teeth upon noticing me from where he was hovering.
I stopped around a kilometer from the nearest Pillar. Although I could shoot that Pillar down to see what will happen to that area they created, I refrained from doing anything first.
It's easy to see that the speaker was the Rank 3 Transcendent. I had to be cautious for now.
After I went over to Yuko and Irja's group that were waiting at the two other locations where the other two Space Vessels were predicted to land, I had Nysia and the others conceal themselves first.
We only have five Rank 2 Transcendents here while there were 50 on their part.
I had to gauge their true strength and… the effect of all the skills I accrued from the past few days where I awakened the repressed Skills from my Orb and broke through to the 5th Realm
With my UPL that could reach 600 if I opened Domain of Valor, I could be considered to be a late-stage Rank 2 Transcendent. Moreover, that's not including all of the Passive Skills from my Companions.
Back in my previous life, I could jump ranks because of my Energy Control. Just that Ability was more than enough to thrash a Rank 3 Transcendent while still being a Rank 2 Transcendent.
As for the UPL difference between me and that Rank 3 Transcendent, I couldn't remember anymore, 100 or 200 UPL perhaps?
Nonetheless, before I let my Companions fight in the front, I had to gather information on which of the three Worlds these guys came from and how they would fare against my Skills from five different Pathways.
"Welcome to Earth. Do you want to go back home or do you want to be buried here?"
As if a courteous host, I landed on the ground while maintaining eye contact with that red-skinned leader. Following that, I uttered words of welcome while having my arms opened wide before showing a sinister smile as I asked that question.
Beneath my feet, one of my Repressed Skills had seeped down the desert sand and was already crawling towards their location. The Ailment Fog.
