Chapter 481: Steering the Wheel (1)

"You're here."

As I promised the two women earlier, my feet led me to one of the two girl's rooms soon after we turned in for the night.

Before I could even knock on her door, Fleur opened it from the inside.

With a clear smile on her face, my Elemental Companion invited me in as politely as before.

However, seeing her in a more alluring silk gown that tightly fitted her perfect figure, as soon as I stepped inside, my arms circled around her waist and pulled her close to me.

Covering her lips with mine, Fleur who was slightly surprised at what I did slowly melted in my arms.

Back then, I always restrained myself whenever I was alone with her, waiting for the romantic mood to settle in before taking the lead.

This should be the first time that I didn't wait for that to happen.

Setting aside every little thing in my mind and focusing all of it on the girl in my arms, I carried her and put her down on the bed.

As always, Fleur was letting me take the lead as her fiery red eyes became filled with the anticipation of what was about to happen.

Looking at her oceanic blue hair neatly sprawled beneath her, it felt like we're slowly sinking down in the deep blue ocean. Holding each other and never letting go.

Even with the heat of our emotions and desire for each other filled up our surroundings, the room remained cool and relaxing.

That's how it always was whenever we're together.

"Daisuke, thank you."

Fleur held my head as she temporarily broke our connected lips to say these words.

"Hmm? What's there to thank for?"

No, I should be the one thanking her. Thinking about it, it was my selfish decision to take all of them with me on this long journey. But asking them to back away now would also sound selfish. The only thing I could do right now was to continue being by their side and take responsibility for dragging them all to my somewhat petty revenge plan against that Divine World.

"For clearing my mind back then. And for becoming someone that I can deem more important than myself."

Ah. It was about that time during our first spar in the Virtual Simulation. At that time, this woman had some dangerous thoughts about herself. She's growing tired of the constant battle and pitting her life without any hope of winning.

We had that conversation and since then… Fleur slowly changed. Perhaps that's also one of the factors why she ended up accepting me in her life.

I became one of the important people that's now driving her forward. And perhaps, if we manage to really make a child between us, that child will also be one.

"I see. If that's the case then… Fleur, can I ask you to be by my side, for as long as we can stay together?"

"Un. Gladly." Along with her answer, Fleur gave another enchanting smile as she lifted her arms, inviting me in her embrace. "Let's live with this present Daisuke. Our destiny has long been tied to each other. Even if separation happens in the future, I believe we will both find our way to each other. "

The night passed and another day shined upon us.

Apart from continuing to train and absorb Energy for their progress, my Companions were also trying to learn more about the modern Earth.

Because the society here was entirely different from the ones in their world, they were all curious about our culture.

After spending the whole morning with them, I took Yumiko and Jayna with me as we went to the same EDA Headquarters where I asked the General to gather every high-ranking officer for today.

The implementation of the plan for the Earthlings still needed some preparation but that would be done in a few days.

What's important for now was to hear the result of what I ordered yesterday.

The total control of the Earth's government bodies and other important sectors that could influence the worldview of every Earthling.

My father, the Principal and the others were still out there but most likely, they would be coming home soon.

Even if the Invasive Worlds have thousands of Transcendents they could send to us, not getting any report from their Rank 3 Transcendents would make them rethink their moves.

Universally, a Rank 3 Transcendent could be considered Elite when it comes to a Transcendent World. However, that's just the standard, the strongest Transcendent Worlds would at least have more than 10 Sages existing and connected to their world.

On the other hand, a Sage World would consider Rank 5 Transcendents as their Elites while Sages filled the upper tiers.

Divinity on the other hand could only be found in the Divine Worlds.

And the reason for that was the same as what happened to the Earth. If someone reached Divinity, they would be invited by one of the Divine Worlds, recruiting them and destroying that Divinity's Sage World.

The Divine World existing to this day was most likely the same Divine Worlds existing during our time. They're not allowing another Sage World to be upgraded to become a Divine World after all. I just don't know if some of them fell during that war that the World's Will mentioned.

As for when they began restricting new Divine Worlds to be born, I have no idea.

That guy who told me about the Divine World's plan was also a Divinity. However, he claimed that he wasn't affiliated to any Divine World and the World where his Source Energy originated was unknown.

The reason why I believed that guy was because his original world suffered the same thing. Destruction.

According to him, the core of the Source Energy of his World was absorbed, not assimilated, by the Divine World that destroyed it. He was being recruited to that world and was asked to change his main Source Energy to that Divine World but he refused.

The reason was obvious. Because he knew that they were the ones responsible for his world's destruction.
