The Ultimate Support Character

Through the use of my Energy Control, the Spirit Energy from the eight opened bottles of Spirit Ocean droplets slowly converged in the space in front of me. From a few wisps of it, each bottle started to be emptied as every droplet was sucked out by the growing whirlpool of Spirit Energy.

Despite the attempt of the thick Dark Energy which filled the room, with the Nullification Zone in place, it could hardly break through to mess with the lower-ranked Spirit Energy from converging.

Two minutes later, the eight bottles were emptied out and transformed into a miniature Spirit Ocean which materialized in front of me. It's unlike Yumiko's miniature Spirit Ocean which she could conjure on her own. This time, I'm borrowing the prowess of the World's Will itself. I'm just an instrument who's controlling the droplets from its controlled Spirit Ocean. If I only relied on my own energy, it will take too long to close the Portal,

"Let's see."

I muttered to myself before expanding the range of my Adaptability and Energy Control's senses. This room should be the most important among everything. But apart from those tanks being filled with Dark Energy, I didn't see any security in place.

There are no unusual surges of Energy which would indicate a Formation in place all around. Not even the hidden ones.

Then, will it happen when I start working at this Portal? There's really nothing embedded in it but most likely the other side will notice it.

To be safe, I produced two more clones and placed them beside me to stand guard in case someone threw in a sneak attack while I'm concentrating at the Portal. It's only as strong as Rank 4 Mortal but it's already enough to trouble a Rank 5 Mortal.

With the Formation disabled, Yumiko already took the advantage against Remi thanks to the new Higher Spirit she borrowed power from and Jayna has made use of her Earthfire to neutralize Yulan's Flame. Those were the last scenes before the clone I left there disappeared, having its duration run out.

In these following minutes, the best I can do is to focus on closing this.

"Well then, let's start."

Turning all my attention to the Portal that was still slowly being expanded from the other side, I controlled the miniature Spirit Ocean to expand like a blanket big enough to cover it. Or like a patch to cover a wound while it heals by itself.

Its size is about 10 meters in diameter but the actual passage where the Dark World denizens passed through is only half of that. The remaining is used as the foundation.

As the blanket of Spirit Ocean moved from the place it was hovering from, the surrounding Dark Energy trembled as if its territory was being encroached upon. However, as it was uncontrolled Energy, it could only part to give way to the Ocean of Energy.

Five meters…

Four meters…

Three meters…

Brrrrt!

When it reached the last two meters of distance, the Portal creaked before a brilliant light glimmered from the spiral sparks revolving on its sides.

Just like I thought, there's no way they would put it here without security in place. But yeah, there's still nothing that was stopping the blanket of Spirit Energy.

When the light subsided a screen appeared in front and depicted on it was a new face. It was just a warning system which invoked an Emergency Communication on the other side, eh?

Judging from the woman's angry but still beautiful mug, the Dark Elf on the screen was most likely the one coordinating and managing things on that side.

"What the hell's happening there? Elena? Huh?!"

She already nagged for a bit before noticing that something was amiss.

"I'm sorry. I don't know who Elena is but can you stop expanding the Portal from there?"

Though I said that, I continued controlling the Spirit Energy. Soon enough, it already arrived next to the Portal. While hearing an angrier voice from the Dark Elf on the screen, the blanket of Spirit Energy thoroughly covered the Portal. When it finally touched it, both the blanket and the Portal instantly produced sparks which were reminiscent of someone welding something. Since it is the Source Energy of the World, as soon as it touches the cracks in space on its side, the mending process has started.

The screen in front which depicted the Dark Elf also appeared to be disrupted as she continued shouting incoherent things with more vigor than earlier. I couldn't hear it anymore though.

When she couldn't get a response from me, she immediately stood up and went somewhere else.

Of course, she finally used her head to call someone higher than her to prevent what I am doing to their Portal which they were already working on since 3 years ago. If they lose their progress right at this moment, the work they put in will be deemed worthless.

However, this time she provided by leaving was enough. Just looking at the cracks in space which instantly regenerated upon contact with the blanket, a minute is enough.

The sparks being produced by the mending of the Portal hole continued to grow intense as the blanket of Spirit Energy seeped through it.

It's just originally a small hole in space which was opened by one of the Great One. And that small hole was used by the first Dark World denizens for their descent roughly three years ago.

Afterwards, it was continuously expanded and maintained by the tribe in charge of the Mortal World until it reached this point.

I don't know if that small hole was all the Great One could do or they just simply didn't want to make a move twice or any other reasons they might have. Either way, that gave us the chance to turn the tables on them.

With the strength of this Support Incarnation, it's also impossible for it to pass through and arrive at the Dark World. However, when I used the clone of this Incarnation to enter it in my place, halfway through, the clone naturally disappeared as if the time was sped up slightly which hastened the duration.

It's probably like Fleur's Teleportation Spell where two points were connected, instead of a water passage, it was a foreign concept of space and maybe time as well?

I don't know, it will be hard to understand it completely with just the clone. It's different from the Portals we were using to travel from Earth to the Mortal Worlds or the Portal I used when I traveled from World of Meta to World of Elements.

In any case, with that discovery, apart from closing the Portal, I also need to cut off the passageway they were maintaining.

Well, there's still the possibility of the Great One opening another hole after closing it but it will revert back to the same state as three years ago so that will not become that much of a problem.

Either way, this experience of closing this Portal will be well-received by my real body. This is the first and certainly will not be the last. We'll have to close every Portal at every Mortal World they were trying to assimilate.

In as short as 10 seconds, the 10-meter wide Portal has been reduced to 5 meters. By using the purest of energy it was this easy to mend this hole. But yeah, the difference in the level of the World's Will made it hard for small worlds like this.

Though sentient, the one here couldn't create an Incarnation at will and it's still too paranoid about me usurping his control over the Spirit Ocean. Even if I'm just an incarnation, it still only trusts Yumiko.

If not for that, I suspect that it can actually go here and close the portal by itself. Will the other World's Will be the same as it?

Ah. There's no point overthinking about that. If they can, they will have already done it way before.

Twenty more seconds and the portal was already too small even for a cockroach to pass through.

However, it was at this moment when the previous Dark Elf returned from the screen, behind her is another Dark Elf. She waved her hand and the screen stabilized which allowed me to completely see and observe the newcomer. Ash-gray hair and dark skin as well as their charm that was as if they were sculpted to only become a beautiful race be it a man or a woman.

I wouldn't need to guess that she was someone that was further up the ranks in their world.

"What the?! This Portal is already as good as closed. Pack up and make sure the other Portals hold."

Along with a surprised exclamation, the newcomer gave her evaluation.

Afterwards, it's like abandoning something already lost, she ordered the angry Dark Elf from earlier.

Who is she? Tribe Leader? She couldn't be a Great One otherwise that kind of response was too lukewarm. Apart from the initial explanation, it's as if losing this Portal will not affect the grand scheme of things for them.

As the Portal continued to be mended, the screen wherein the Dark Elf woman stayed standing there staring at me also slowly faded.

She never uttered any word of threats nor enraged shouts, instead, there's only a slight hint of a smile on her face. It's not a smile of amusement but mockery.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

But yeah, I don't have the leeway to think of the meaning of her smile at the moment.

The mending of the hole in space was completed and along with that were the sounds of the metallic tubes connected to the tanks dropping to the ground.

Also, before the hole completely closed, the remaining Spirit Energy seeped into that little space to become a blade which severed the connection of the Dark World and this world.

When the last wisp of Spirit Energy went out of my control, I was left staring at the space where the 10-meter Portal was previously located.

Starting today, the World of Spirits is now out of Dark World's grasp…
