The Ultimate Support Character

"Why are you defending that slanderer, Princess Leianne?"

Viper asked. Sen was already unconscious behind her but that guy probably wanted to end him right there and then. But the more he wanted to kill him, the more they would just be suspicious. In fact, his decisive action earlier was already admitting their involvement.

About what Delares revealed, if what Lunaria and Leianne confessed were truths, then no one was clean among them. As a Dark World denizen, he knew more about what's going on their side than the Order. Before I ended the torture to him, he also revealed that they knew that both the Order and the Dark World were just using each other. Dark Energy in exchange for Regenium.

While the Mythic-ranks except for Nysia here were unaware of the impending descent of Transcendents on their side, the Dark World denizens were already building Ultimate Darkgens for their Transcendents.

They're playing with fire while not knowing that a meteor will soon land on them. This world is a bit special, they probably had Rank 5 Mortals on their initial descent here otherwise they would've been easily annihilated even by Legend-ranks. When the portal widens, it's guaranteed that a Transcendent will come.

The Heroes probably already revealed about that but it fell into deaf ears. The Emperor and the other Mythic-ranks were all bathing themselves in Dark Energy after all. The benefit of it is double that of Meta Energy.

And I doubt even Nysia's words won't be able to wake them up. She's the reason for their bitterness after all.

However,  with the Matriarch expressing her intention to give up, those who still wanted to continue were the other two as well as the Emperor who's playing as a mantis who stalks the cicada while being unaware of the oriole behind.

Ah. He's surely aware of it but he's too confident that he could still snatch the cicada from the oriole or he thinks of himself as the oriole who would win in the end.

Either way, I couldn't leave it in his hands. I haven't met any of them. The Emperor was probably really smart as he managed to even hide his own strength to Nysia and everyone apart from using his father, the Imperial Guardian and the other Mythic-ranks to his benefit.

With the delegates here and with all the information fitting in place, we could start reversing the current situation but one thing needs to be cleared up and I don't know how.

The Anzeans, what is their role here? They're what's making me uncomfortable due to the Principal's warning.

"It's already pointless, don't you think so? Let's stop this act. No one here is clean. And with the blunder this idiot behind me made, we are in a Mythic-rank's fortress, everything was already seen through by her eyes. "

Leianne shook her head while giving a somewhat vague answer that only implied that everyone here has a connection to the Order.

"Leianne. Stop this nonsense and move out of there!"

The Imperial Advisor shouted towards Leianne, losing all his calm from earlier. Just by that act, he probably didn't account that Leianne would do something like this.

"I believe we should also need to hear what the Imperial Princess has to say."

Before he could move towards Leianne, I looked menacingly at the Imperial Advisor. I couldn't release some kind of pressure just like how Nysia did it but the way I imposingly said it put him in an impasse.

I'm already stronger than anyone else here. I wouldn't let him stop Leianne. Just like she said, it's already pointless at this point.

"If that is Sir Daisuke's wish then I have no objection. Viper."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Just one word by the Sovereign Princess, Viper immediately stopped glaring at the already unconscious Sen and Leianne who was blocking his way. If Leianne didn't get in between them, that guy would've died by being beaten up.

"Lexie, can you put a restraint on Sen and line him up with these guys?"

"S-sure!"

Lexie who was quite dumbfounded with the turn of events was jolted awake from my voice that she almost shouted her response.

That guy could still be useful as cannon fodder if we managed to reverse everything so I threw both Physique and Spirit Boosts on him before Lexie dragged him away. He might wake up and spread his idiocy in the air again if we let him be.

"Uncle Kreed, Hear me out. Also, Sovereign Princess."

After calling out to them, Leianne turned her head to me and nodded before continuing. The two also didn't move as they waited for her to talk.

"Earlier you asked what's the real reason why I told you what I know. I decided. No. Matthew helped me decide. Sir Daisuke, I want to elevate our world. If I follow what my father planned, everything will turn to ashes first before it will achieve rebirth, like a Phoenix. Its head being my Father."

Props to Matthew there alright. And also that ambition of hers, it's really higher than her father who just wanted everything to become centered around him.

The scenario that would've happened if she didn't step up will be us accusing everyone. Maybe a war among the denizens of this world might become inevitable with the League as the center. With her, this might not reverse everything but she could be a rallying point.

Now that she declared it in front of everyone, Kreed and Elise were now informed that we already knew.

"I can kind of get the gist of it but I'm not really the one you should talk to. Nysia you can show yourself now."

As soon as my words ended, the screen where the footage was shown earlier changed what it was showing to Nysia.

"Is that you admitting that the Order was jointly run by the three factions?"

"Yes. I've already confessed to Sir Daisuke about what I know. It's no use to put up any appearance anymore, League Head. The Order of the Dark Host has been active for three years already. I can attest that every delegate except the three who came from another world was connected to it."

With that kind of declaration, the Sovereign Princess only looked on while Viper was clenching his fist. He probably has an urge to also attack her the same with Sen, however, under the eyes of Nysia, he couldn't.

Kreed, on the other hand, almost cough out his blood while shouting angrily

"Y-you! Have you lost your mind?!"

"I do, Uncle Kreed. Like I said I have a bigger ambition than Father Emperor. I thought of using Sir Daisuke and League Head's hand to point their blades towards  my father but I was immediately seen through."

"You're right, Sir Daisuke, I orchestrated the attack to myself, to let me look innocent in front of your eyes. Now hear this, this is my true ambition. It is to raise this world to the same height or higher than that Dark World or the world Matthew and you came from. Without the expense of destroying our world!"

Leianne continued. Her eyes scanned through everyone to see our reactions to her declaration. In the end, it settled on Kreed who was already kneeling on his spot, not knowing what to do anymore.

"You can go back to his side and tell him what I did, Uncle Kreed. However, after tonight, every detail will come to light."

After saying that, she turned to Elise.

"Sovereign Princess, I know you also have your qualms when the Order you founded has been turned to its current state. Your husband needs to stop as well."

I see. The Light's Cradle was founded by her, however, it was now being used as a front for the Dark Host as an exchange hub between the Order and the Dark World.

"Your highness, what does she mean? You know all along?"

Amry who was listening quietly finally couldn't hold herself back when Leianne addressed the Sovereign Princess.

"It seems you were already informed before all this, Amry. Is that why you didn't stand next to me this time?"

"Yes. The Light's Cradle. What happened?"

Elise didn't answer and only shook her head towards Amry.

"Viper, what is my husband's order to you regarding me?"

"Defend your honor as well as prevent you from betraying him."

"I see. Here."

Opening her arms wide, Elise closed her eyes and waited for Viper to attack her. That means she would really betray her husband this time.

"Sovereign Princess?!"

"Even if everything really came to light. It's not easy to reverse it. They're already too far gone. Reason wouldn't reach them anymore. My husband is like that, maybe also the Imperial Guardian. About the Emperor, I'm unaware of that but if it's his daughter who was saying that, it must've been true. However, Viper, even if it's not easy, I'm willing to stand with Leianne in this one. For this reason, it's already equivalent to me betraying him."

"No. I won't let you die!"

Amry jumped in front of the Sovereign Princess with her Pyrokinesis in full display. Upon seeing her, Kazeyoshi also moved in front to help Amry.

"Please step aside, Miss Valkyrie, I will only do what I'm ordered to do."

This time with a blade in his hand, Viper was really going to kill the Sovereign Princess if Amry didn't block his way. He was just defending her earlier but now, it's showing how loyal he is towards the Enthroned Prince.

Since it's already reached this stage, I decided to finally act.

Using Flash Step, I moved in between them and stared at him. I held my hand out and that immediately made Viper jump back. He was also surprised at my speed.

"Viper, was it? Also Imperial Advisor Kreed. In light of this event, if you wish to leave, you can do that now and we will not restrict you. As the Sovereign Princess said, this time, you have to choose a side. Nothing can stop this now."

With Leianne and the Sovereign Princess, even if the two decided to leave, the result will be the same. Everything that happened here today will surely be relayed to them.

With Nysia watching us from that room, I also scanned everyone first before continuing.

"Imperial Princess, Thank you for stepping out. Your ambition, I like it."

"Like I said when you had just arrived. Our goal here isn't your little games but seeing through that this world will not be assimilated by the Dark World."

"Maybe in 3 weeks time, the portal that they use will widen enough to allow their Transcendents to descend here and it will not be just one or two."

"If the two of you decided to go back, relay this information to your liege. Stop underestimating a higher world. It's fine to be ignorant but know when to stop."

And to end this event with a bang. I raised my hand and uttered the name of that Temporary Skill with a calm smile on my face.

"Summon Door of Transcendence."

Through my hand, all of my Flux Energy has started to converge on top of it before it shoots like a ray of light upwards, bypassing the ceiling and the roof of this building.

And right after that, a notification sounded inside my mind.

[You've used 100% of your Flux Energy to summon the Door of Transcendence]

[Time Remaining: 71:59:59]

[The summoning is irrevocable. Prepare yourself well.]
