After the meeting with that EDA General, I brought the two women with me to pick up the others in Brazil.
In the end, the battle there became something like a training ground for the girls who had less experience with fighting against Transcendent and to adjust their perception after a swift rise in their UPL.
Because of these Arania World Transcendents' organized and tight formations that even Sofiel and the others couldn't break, they were truly better opponents to hone my Companion's Skills.
Compared to Xeno and Nightwolf's Transcendents, they're a cut above because of their discipline.
Well, it's possible to turn them to our side since they could just replace their Source Energy and retain their current strength. They're from a Psyche-type world like us. They didn't need to return to being a Mortal Rank and start a new Pathway from scratch.
However, they probably wouldn't accept it. Unless… we rewrite their memories…
I just don't know if the method that the sly old man used on Yuko could also permanently alter the memories of Transcendents.
Even from my past life, alteration of one's memories was almost like a supreme ability that only some could to those Transcendents and above.
Because of the abundance of one's energy upon reaching it, any alteration will be eroded with time.
And that was happening to Yuko's memory that was sealed. After completing her Mortal Pathway, the erosion on the seal would hasten up, resulting in the restoration of her memory.
When that time comes, the two of us would have the memory of the days old.
And once she remembered, that would once again bring us benefits.
The Family she hailed from back then was one of the four Strongest Noble Houses on Earth. They all started as Transcendent Families but evolved to a Noble House as soon as they produced their own Sage.
Those four Noble Houses went by the name of the well-known Four Divine Beasts in the Chinese and Japanese Folklore or Mythology that was still very well-known to this day because of what the Earthlings dug up from archaeological sites.
In truth, each of those four Divine Beasts corresponded to those four Noble Houses and where they were situated on Earth. They were real and the Beasts were their Family's Sigil.
Genbu or Black Tortoise in the North.
Byakko or White Tiger in the West.
Seiryuu or Azure Dragon at the East
Suzaku or Vermillion Bird in the South.
There should be the fifth one called the Kouryuu or the Yellow Dragon that was located at the Center of the Four. However, that Noble House already fell in power way before I became a Divinity and sacrificed everyone.
And on the present Earth, among those five Noble Houses, only Kouryuu remained. Their territory spanned across the entirety of China and the countries connected to it.
The other four regions were… cut off from Earth.
Yes. To completely fool whoever would search for the traces of the Earth, the World's Will cut off four huge chunks of the former Earth as it moved to this desolate part of the wide Universe.
What was left today was only the Central Part of the former Earth.
And once the World's Will recovered enough… what was buried would eventually surface again.
At this point, that hateful World's Will was still recovering his ability to let the denizens of this world call for the Door of Transcendence.
As for those four huge chunks of Earth that were cut off… if it's still out there… I will have the World's Will to look for it.
Those four regions of Earth contained not only some of the lost technologies but also the… Treasure Vault of those Noble Houses. Not just the Noble Houses that carry the name of the Four Divine Beasts but also the other Noble Houses and Transcendent Families existing in that region.
Yuko also needed to go back to their Ancestral Place to claim something her family was keeping.
The Seal of the Azure Dragon.
That's right. She's from that Noble House. The Princess of Seiryuu.
Other Seals also exist in the other three Noble Houses. If those four regions were still existing somewhere, there's no doubt that they could possibly become a World of their own.
But that's as long as they weren't plundered by Invasive Worlds or Space Wanderers. A long time has already passed so there's a lot of possibilities that could happen.
As for the use of those Seals… It's something that could help us when we reach the Sage Realm.

Because of my arrival and the addition of both Fleur and Leianne to our roster of combatants, Sofiel who took the lead for this fight switched her strategy to finally put an end to this drawn-out battle.
It's not that she found it drawn out, the girl just wanted to not wait for long to come back to my side.
Among the more than 90 long-nosed Transcendents, 1/3 of them died and the rest were restrained like the previous ones.
As soon as the Light Wall disappeared, the soldiers from the EDA took over and hauled the Rank 2 Transcendents to send them where they were keeping the other captives.
Ignoring another salute from the officer-in-charge of the EDA in this country, I brought my Companions back to the mansion in Japan.
Naturally, I began with telling them what's about to happen on Earth and what I planned to do for the Earthlings to dip their heads into the Mortal Pathway.
"Huh? A game? How will that be beneficial for the Earthlings?" Yumiko raised a question after digesting what I told them.
Although I probably got influenced by this new life and modern Earth, making a game that would allow the Earthlings who went back to their normal life even after the restoration of the Source Energy to start absorbing energy was possible.
For example, with the use of the Virtual Simulation Technology from the World of Meta.
It might not be effective in their world since they're all aware of the existence of Energy and they could start treading on their Mortal Pathway even without a guide but in this world… it will be highly effective.
Especially when one of the main forms of entertainment here was playing games.
"How? I believe the Researchers at the World of Meta could do that. The Source Energy is already restored but… the number of Earthlings who successfully learned how to absorb and progress in their Pathway is fewer than I expected. Most of them went back to their normal life and there's also a small number who became drunk with their newfound strength resulting in the chaos in the countries with weak governments."
"The EDA was there to save us the trouble of restoring order but even then… not everyone can just break away from the norm they grew up with. "
As I scanned my gaze around them to check their reactions, a lot of them were still trying to figure out how my plan would be possible.
Yuko and Yumiko weren't that knowledgeable about games since they've been busy with their Hero business since three years ago but for me who spent another 3 years without having a clue that these girls were already risking their lives in their Otherworld, I was happily consuming a large number of games and other forms of entertainment available for my age.
The only problem for the implementation of this plan will be... the invention of the technology which combines the function of Virtual Simulation and the Absorption Room.
Will it be possible for the Researchers in the World of Meta? Let's hope so.
