With Leianne and Erin gathering the attention of the Automatons in the enclosure Leianne made, Yuko, Jayna, Fleur and Irja stood atop the Ice Wall and began bombarding them with their abilities, spells and skills.

For Yuko, it was her Level 5 Wizard Spells boosted by her Jewel Skills.

For Jayna, it was her Earthfire Essence-enhanced Spirit Ocean along with Elemental Spells that she mastered.

For Fleur, she flooded the place with her Water Elemental Spell mixed with her own Spirit Ocean.

For Irja, it's still her signature, machine-gun-like casting of Elemental Spells and skills.

Naturally, although it sounded way too easy for them. The two at the middle were barely hanging on against the huge number of Automatons.

As soon as those trying to stop them became disabled, the six women left the area to meet up with the other groups.

Only a few hours left before the place shut down.

Daisuke was still inside where he was, absorbing the Chaotic Energy to complete his Mortal Pathway.

They're all aware of that. Because every progress he made, they were also being enhanced by it through the Shared Connection.

Perhaps once he finished, Irja would firmly step foot on the ranks of the Rank 3 Transcendents or an Exalted in their world.

While Daisuke and his Companions were exploring Atlantis, somewhere around the distant World Zone where the Dark World or Spirit World was located, a small Space Vessel was being chased by three other Space Vessels.

"These idiots! Why are they chasing after me? No one leaked about my mission that the Great One gave, right? Or… did something happen to the Great One?" Alwyn, who was navigating the endless outer space using a Space Vessel specifically handed to her by the Great One Illiana, wondered.

She was given a mission to go to a certain World Zone but as soon as her Space Vessel left the vicinity of the Dark World, wherein one could see another world trying to encroach upon it, three Space Vessels that she recognized to be from the same world as hers began chasing after her.

Despite having a more superior Space Vessel, her pursuers were relentless.

She couldn't take a break for the last 12 hours.

Traveling to different World Zones was actually too long and was dependent on speed.

Obviously, there were wormholes that were serving as portals for Space Vessels but those were always regulated by a world that first discovered it, turning it into a source of income.

Since she had pursuers and the wormhole that she could take to reduce her travel time to the designated World Zone would be high on alert on possible enemies, she couldn't risk it to seek protection there.

That's why she had no choice but to move along the World Zones naturally.

The Space Vessel she was using was fast and she was protected by the corrosion of the Chaotic Energy present in space, however, most Space Vessels were also mounted with weapons.

Her pursuers were relentlessly firing at her as well, to try and shoot it down.

Although she could put up a shield using the Source Energy stored in it that also acts as a fuel, it would result in a higher burn and she would find herself out of fuel faster than her estimate.

If that happened, she would need to land somewhere in a world with Source Energy to replenish it. But that would also mean, her pursuers would be able to catch up to her.

If they're so confident at chasing after her then Alwyn guessed that there should be more than one Exalteds or Rank 3 Transcendents among them.

"That Daisuke… I will have him pay me for this trouble… Ugh… This is the Great One's command. I cannot disobey it." Alwyn loudly grumbled. "I'm still skeptical about what she said. Me becoming her sister because of Daisuke's interest in me? Haa… That guy was truly full of surprises."

Although she tried not to think about him, Alwyn would always find her train of thought reeling towards that guy. And whenever it did, she would hit her head as if she wanted to forget that she thought of him again.

"Exalted Alwyn of the Dafirae Tribe. Stop your Space Vessel!"

Suddenly a holographic screen appeared in front of her and a face that she recognized appeared on it and yelled at her.

"Exalted Inyoin. I don't think you have the right to order me to stop. Only a decree from the Great One will be able to do that."

"Are you an idiot? Do you really want to be shot down? The Great One Illiana is being suspected as a traitor of the World. And you leaving the World after spending your time in her territory… You're already suspected as another traitor on her command. Where are you going?"

"Traitor? Hah! If there's anyone who is the most concerned about our World's well-being then it's none other than the Great One Illiana! Your Great One opened distant portals to Mortal Worlds for what? They're all closed without conquering anything! Talk about the waste of resources. And you're now suspecting my Great One? Stop being a hypocrite and leave me alone!"

"Tsk. After giving consideration to the time when we fought together against common enemies, this is how you will answer me? Well then, prepare to be shot down and dragged back to our world!"

After responding like that, the holographic screen disappeared in front of Alwyn.

At this point, Alwyn felt a cold feeling in her stomach. Whether it was anger or some other emotion, she had no idea.

Comrade? Consideration? That woman coldly let some of their comrades die for her to survive during one Dimensional Defense wherein the Dafirae Tribe sent help.

If not for her being wary of her, she would also become that woman's shield. And since she couldn't prove that Inyoin was the reason why the members of their group died, Alwyn decided to stay far away from her. Their strength was on par with each other back then so even if she wanted to take revenge, her ability wasn't enough. Moreover, she's also not that close to those members of their group. They were grouped up to intercept another group of enemy Rank 3 Transcendents back then. They completed the mission but they're the only two Exalted survived.

To think that Inyoin would talk about comradeship this time was too laughable for Alwyn.

She already fired and pursued her for almost half a day with the intention to shoot her down. Where's the consideration in that?

"That woman will always be a hypocrite." Alwyn shook her head and looked at her navigator that was continuously scanning her immediate vicinity.

She's still in their World Zone and the surrounding area was only filled with Chaosworld or worlds without any trace of Source Energy.

"I have to move out of this zone and hide somewhere… Do I really have to use this?" Alwyn pulled out something from her ring. It's a crystal filled with compressed Chaotic Energy that was given to her by the Great One Illiana.

It was to be used in case of emergency.

However, to escape from her pursuers, she was already considering using it and pushing the speed of her Space Vessel to its limit.

"I will really hit that guy when I see him. Even when he has already returned to his world, he's still making trouble for me and the Great One." Alwyn sighed.

A few moments later, she stood up and went to the back of her space vessel.

"Let this be worth it."

While clutching the crystal in her hand, Alwyn whispered as she opened the Fuel Storage.

After staring at the somewhat visible Source Energy tanks that were being used as fuel for her Space Vessel, she went down to it and walked towards an empty storage tank.

"I'm sorry, Great One. I will be using this now. I will strive to finish the task you've given me but at the moment, I have to lose them or I will truly be hindered." Alwyn inhaled and exhaled a few times before throwing the crystal inside the tank.

Following that, she pressed a button at the side which broke the crystal letting the Chaotic Energy fill it.

As soon as that happened, Alwyn left the Fuel Storage and returned to the cockpit of her Space Vessel.

In less than a minute, her Space Vessel suddenly sped up outrageously leaving behind the three Space Vessels on her tail.

With the task in her mind, Alwyn began her journey to a different world zone to get something that according to the Great One Illiana, it's something that will be able to help Daisuke.
