"C-can I still surrender?"
That's the last thing the long-nosed Transcendent could say before he lost consciousness from being hit at the back of his head.
He put down his guard and raised his arms so… upon seeing that, Avelin immediately moved, pummeling him with her axe's blunt end.
With his escape route blocked and escape pod destroyed, it would be a miracle for him to escape.
Furthermore, he saw what happened to the Wind Elemental, despite using his life force for a swift rise in his strength, he was given no chance to utilize it and turn the situation around.
No matter what, he probably used not just a century to reach this far in his Transcendent Pathway. Even if he's ready to throw away his life for his World, the desire to live won against his reason.
That's just my speculation why he did that. In any case, apart from the Wind Elemental who fought until his death, we got another Rank 3 Transcendent captive.
Once we're done here, the girls wanted more action so… I sent them to Brazil to help wrap up the Rank 2 Transcendents there.
According to Sofiel, even with the addition of Jayna, Elise and Lunaria, they're finding it difficult to defeat every long-nosed Transcendent.
It's not that they're strong, their cooperative tactics let them endure the overwhelming advantage of the girls.
They were trained as a proper army unlike the Elementals from Xeno World and red-skinned humanoids from Nightwolf World.
Even if their highest commanding officer was isolated from them, someone took up his mantle to command them.
And that resulted in an extremely drawn-out battle.
Apart from Fleur and Leianne who remained by my side, everyone else joined Sofiel and the others.
While they were dealing with them, I took the two girls with me to meet up with the officer-in-charge for the Earth's Defense Army.

"Daisuke, I think I also want a child."
While we're waiting for the appearance of the Officer-in-charge left behind by that sly old man, Fleur who's sitting beside me suddenly whispered.
For her to bluntly say it this time, there's probably some change in her mindset after experiencing this kind of battle.
In truth, although I had already slept with her on the same bed, we hadn't done it yet. It's not that I don't want to or she doesn't want to. It's the same case as Avelin. All her life, she never thought about getting a man and when I appeared before her, it also took her time to accept that affection that developed over time.
So I was taking it slowly with her. Except for those really straightforward like Erin and Sofiel, the other girls were dependent on their mood. Either way, there were times when they just wanted to cuddle throughout the night and that's enough.
Among my new Companions, I also hadn't done it yet with Reinys and the four women from World of Meta.
Right. One of them was also here with me, on my other side. After hearing what Fleur whispered, Leianne reddened on her seat before whispering the same thing to me.
"Uhm… the battle this time is… something out of my comprehension as someone from a lower world. We even learned that there's a much higher world targeting you or your goal to stand up against that world that forced you to sacrifice everyone…. If something happens in the future, I want a child borne from our… love." Fleur elaborated.
She's the very definition of a cool beauty. She's calm and always collected and more often than not, she never panics. But this time, I could hear her heartbeat quickening and her body rising in temperature.
She probably mustered all her courage before saying it. But now that she started, she didn't want to just back down.
"I get what Sister Fleur is saying. Daisuke. Even though I still have my ambition and I still believe I will achieve it with you, I don't want to… if something happens to you or me, I want to leave behind an offspring. Naturally, I won't let him inherit this ambition of mine. It's enough that the world will be reminded that I was yours. It's petty I know but… seeing their strength. I started becoming afraid."
Leianne also went off with her explanation and when she finished, unlike Fleur who ended up being supported by my body, Leianne boldly kissed me as she conveyed her feelings. It's filled with a mix of her emotions. Like she said, it's also filled with fear for the future.
"I heard you two. Back in my previous life, even if I got a Physical Body, it was impossible for me to produce offspring. However, at this present, I now have that ability."
It's not a regret since I was extremely selfish. I only truly cared about Yuko and the women who ended up joining us in our journey as my partners.
Back then, I was clueless about the feeling of familial love since… If I could be categorized into something, I was the son of that hateful guy who used me to test if there's a way out for him. I was only exposed to Yuko's love and care which shaped my personality.
Now, however, these girls… Leaving behind a child, huh? Will we become great parents for them? Honestly, we will be constantly traveling across different worlds, what will happen to them if they give birth while we're traveling into deep space?
Haa… Why am I thinking of this? They already expressed their desire. And Erin even more so. My memory and knowledge of my previous life and this present had already merged so… for their… no. For our happiness in the future, I will thrive to give it to them.
"Un, let's make one or two. But we don't need to rush it. I will make sure that nothing will happen to any of you. I apologize for that goal of mine and for tying all of you in my chariot. If you ever get tired of our constant fights, you just need to tell me. I'll place you somewhere safe."
There's a lot of Mortal Worlds or I can create a World specifically for them when the time comes. The journey will be long so it's understandable that some of them might get tired. And if they did end up being thinking like that, I will not force them to continue treading this path.
However, that didn't mean I would abandon them, they would remain my Companion.
"Huh? Daisuke, how did you even end up thinking that we will want to leave you? Is that your famous overthinking?"
Looking at the somewhat angry glare of Leianne, did I really overthink it? No… I know that it's a definite possibility.
"Un. It sounds insulting, Daisuke. Can I ask you to take that back?"
I see. It's too early to talk about that, we're just starting and I was already thinking of a scenario in the future…
Stop overthinking idiotic Daisuke!
"I'm sorry. You're right. I take that back. You'll all be together with me until the end so… let's leave behind some descendants."
"Ah. And this here is the pervert Daisuke. I'll be waiting for you in my room later."
"Me too."
