The Ultimate Support Character-Chapter 524 Half A Chaosworld
"World Sage. I only have one thing to implore on you… Let my Yellow Dragon see the light of our sun again." The old man declared after telling me a long tale on why he didn't make a move against me and why he let me in here without finishing any trials. 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚
I already told him almost everything about the history of why Earth became like this.
And now, despite still being only a digital entity, his aspiration to elevate his House to become a Noble House again was still here.
"If that's what you only want then… I will do so."
"Much gratitude. Now then… Please step forward and stand here."
He kowtowed once more before he pointed to the spot directly below that yellow dragon statue.
I followed his instruction and stood where he pointed.
Following that, the white-haired old man flew up and suddenly merged with the giant yellow dragon statue.
Whirl!
As if a machine being kickstarted, mechanical sounds began to be emitted by the yellow dragon. Its eyes glowed in green as the statue gradually wriggle as if it was alive.
"World Sage, this should be the final trial before you successfully inherit my Legacy. You have to get the cube in this statue's mouth. However, that's not needed anymore." Huang's old voice rang out from inside the statue. Furthermore, the pressure of the surrounding area began to drop on my shoulder. It's strong enough to shake my knees.
To keep this old man's confidence in me, I stood tall and acted unaffected.
Even though he said that there's no more trial, subjecting me to this kind of pressure could already be considered a trial.
He was aware of my current strength. If I faltered with this much pressure then… the confidence he had in me would be blown to the wind, never to recover.
He would be thoroughly disappointed to pass me his Legacy.
I'm not the Divine Realm expert that I was. In fact, I'm too weak that my father or any of the other old fossils could defeat me anytime. The gap between us couldn't be bridged by just my Energy Control.
And that's why those two Rank 3 Transcendent captives that we had instantly gave up resisting upon seeing my father.
After a while, the mechanical sounds coming out of the station stopped. In place of that, a loud rumbling sound echoed across this whole sub-dimension.
From where it was placed as a decoration, the yellow dragon statue rose to the sky and began weaving through it.
Following that, it shifted its eyes to me and hovered its giant head right in front of me.
The dark cube containing the Chaotic Energy clutched in its mouth was already in my arms' reach. However, I hadn't moved and just stared at it.
"Is this the Automaton you mentioned?"
"Indeed. Nothing can escape the World Sage's eyes."
What 'nothing can escape'? You made it so obvious! You mentioned that and now you do this. Only an idiot would not guess correctly.
Ah. Either way… even if it was the Sage level Automaton, the pressure I felt from it was only around Rank 4 Transcendent.
It's not in full operation and even the movements it did already sucked the surrounding Source Energy dry.
"It looked good but it's still filled with flaws. I doubt it will be useful in a Sage level fight."
"And this is the reason why I showed this to you. No one will have seen its flaws except the one with an absurd Energy Sensitivity and Energy Control. This… is part of the Legacy. As I have already stated. And this is what I meant about letting the yellow dragon see the light of the sun again."
After saying that, the dragon statue's body gradually floated down and settled back to the pillars holding it earlier.
Furthermore, its mouth opened wide letting the clutched cube from its mouth to fall down in front of me. pan(da-n0vel.c)om
I only needed to extend my arms to catch it and at almost the same time, a clicking sound rang out as if something was unlocked.
While I was holding the dark cube, the floating dragon statue began changing shape.
From the gigantic eastern dragon, it shrunk and became human-sized. Moreover, its snake-like body grew limbs and transformed into a humanoid form.
Fortunately, it didn't take on the form of a woman again or I would start questioning this old man why he picked that design when it was his digital entity who would control it.
In the end, it looked like a K*men Rider with a yellow eastern dragon as its motif.
Nonetheless, the pressure it was exuding was still that of a Rank 4 Transcendent.
A few seconds later, it went down on one knee while bowing servilely in front of me. "I implore the World Sage to mend the flaws of this Automaton. I may not be able to come with it but knowing that it will be you who will be able to utilize this Automaton. I will be at ease."
The digital entity in the form of the white-haired old man separated from the former gigantic statue, letting it freeze in that position.
"I understand. I will grant this wish of yours. When the time comes, the world, no… the Universe will be aware that the Kouryuu is still living on."
After promising him like that, the old man was jubilant and began to dance around the place, truly unbefitting of his stature.
Nonetheless, when I asked him to calm down, he sat down immediately without even daring to make a move again.
In the end, he became my audience as I unlocked the dark cube in my hand.
Like the Rings and Necklaces, this one needed to be bound first before I could activate it.
I ran through my Flux Energy in its little cracks and filled it with it.
A few seconds later, the cube sprang open revealing two items inside.
Another cube that was even bigger than the previous cube. In it was the Chaotic Energy that I would consume.
And the other one was a small flash drive with the same yellow dragon design.
Ah. Wrong. It's not a flash drive but a digital storage drive that was used back then. It's smaller and the storage capacity was higher than the biggest drive existing on modern Earth.
Anyway, their purpose was the same so let's call it like that.
Even without inquiring about its content to the old man, there's no doubt that it was all the data gathered by the Kouryuu.
I set that aside for now and focused on the cube filled with Chaotic Energy. ƒ𝑟𝙚e𝔀𝗲𝒃n𝒐𝘷𝗲Ɩ.c𝗼𝚖
Even if it was sealed inside the cube, the Chaotic Energy still looked menacing. And gathering this much… it probably amounted to almost half of a small Chaosworld's Space Oddities.
Normally, it's not advisable to continuously absorb them. And even when someone was raiding a Chaosworld, they would prepare storage tanks to store what they would get from every Space Oddity they would slay.
But for me… it's just a matter of how long until I absorb all of this…
That's why… Before I began my Chaotic Energy absorption, I sat down cross-legged in front of it and contacted my Companions that were still doing their own trials.
After checking on them and making sure that everything was in order, I told them what I am about to do.
"By the way, if you don't see me when you are all ejected out of Atlantis in two days, don't panic. I am about to absorb half a Chaosworld amount of Chaotic Energy. This will take days."
And amidst the 'Eh?!' 'Huh?!' and 'What?!' exclamations from the girls, I began exercising my Energy Control to drill a hole in the cube.
