The Ultimate Support Character

"This is Aether."

The silver-haired woman opened her left palm and a pure silvery-white sphere of energy appeared on top of it.

Afterwards, the sphere floated by itself and hovered in front of her. The sphere spun and it instantly created an overarching effect which resulted in it being split to 6 different directions. Each piece of the previous sphere transformed into a manifestation of the 6 Elements.

Blazing Fire, Surging Water, Raging Wind, Rumbling Earth, Brilliant Light and Eerie Darkness.

The 4 Natural Elements and 2 Special Elements manifested and filled my eyes with a breathtaking scene. However, that only lasts for a few seconds.

Moments later, the Fire was extinguished, the Water subsided, the Wind grew silent, the Earth stopped, the Light dimmed and the Darkness faded.

"And this is Void."

Once all of the 6 Elements was dissolved, the space they were in before produced a vacuum-like effect which ostensibly sucked in the residual Elemental Energy that was left behind from the dissolved manifestations.

The residual energy coagulated and transformed back into another sphere of energy. Like the earlier, it\'s still silvery-white. However, if the Aether exuded the liveliness of the 6 Elements, the new sphere of energy exuded the absence of the 6 Elements.

The silver-haired woman then grabbed that new sphere of energy before throwing it upwards along with the same kind of sphere of energy on her other hand. The two drew an arc as they both descended to the ground with the spaces it passed through visually dimmed.

When the two spheres collided, a vibrant explosion ensued which expanded and dissolved the Elemental Energy, creating a temporary zone filled with nothing but Void Elemental Energy. Like an empty spot in the ocean, it was immediately flooded in by Elemental Energy returning everything back to normal.

"The Void can negate any of the 6 Elements while Aether can produce more of it. You have both of them and with your Energy Control, that\'s enough to become someone invincible in this world."

The silver-haired woman spoke as if her words were a matter of fact. When she turned around to face me, she instantly gathered two more spheres of energy.

"You\'re talking as if Aether and Void can only be the weakness of each other. I know I can\'t be that invincible."

No matter how powerful Energy Control and Adaptability are, it\'s still bound to lose against absolute power. Just like how these World\'s Will couldn\'t put up a fight when a Rank 5 Transcendent forcefully opened a portal inside their jurisdiction.

"I see. You always put your strength below those at the same level as you. Why don\'t we have a little contest?"

"Huh?"

This World\'s Will totally lost me. One moment she\'s talking about Aether and Void, now she wanted to have a little contest?

"Your Energy Control against mine."

The World\'s Will smiled and produced both Aether and Void on her hands. The Aether flourished which turned that side lively while the Void seemingly withered the space around it as cracks in that particular space began appearing.

"I\'m sorry but isn\'t that bullying?"

A World\'s Will who can control the whole Source Energy on her own against me, a fledgeling who can exercise little control in her territory. If that\'s not bullying then what is?

Nonetheless, I still tried copying what she did, producing two balls of Elemental Energy. One turned silvery-white while the other also turned silvery-white albeit it lacked the liveliness of Aether.

Upon seeing that, the silver-haired woman nodded her head in satisfaction.

"Show me the extent of your control. Maybe I can impart something useful for you."

"… Alright."

Whatever it is that she can impart, given that the ability of World\'s Wills also encompasses Energy Control, it might be something really useful for my Adaptability.

The silver-haired woman vanished from where she was and in the time it takes for me to blink my eye, the intensity brought by the Aether and Void on her hands could clearly be felt by my consciousness even before she reached her destination.

Though this is not my real body. I feel like I might really suffer if I let myself be engulfed by the World\'s Will\'s supreme Energy Control.

I instinctively jumped upwards before using both Aether and Void that I copied to form Energy Projectiles.

When the World\'s Will appeared on my previous spot, all the projectiles I conjured from the spheres of Elemental Energy rained down on her.

"Great judgement."

The silver-haired woman grinned as she once again vanished from where she was. A second later, she reappeared behind me. The Aether on her hand split into 6 projectiles and stabbed onto my back and the Void on the other followed up embedding itself on my back.

​ Though it didn\'t really hurt my real body. The pain was completely emulated to make it look like I\'m fighting in that form. This place is a special area where the World\'s Will watches over the land. This is possibly located at the core of the World itself. Just like how the Spirit Ocean was represented back at the World of Spirits.

Right now, my consciousness sent to meet the World\'s Will fully represented my real body\'s stats and skills.

"Your awareness of the surrounding energy is mediocre. Are you always using your eyes to feel?"

Huh? I\'m not just using my eyes to feel the energy. Just like when Dannae followed me, I locked onto her energy signature and that allowed me to observe her movements.

"That\'s what I call mediocre. You don\'t need to lock onto someone. You only needed to create a zone wherein everything will be put under your control. Like this..."

Ugh. I forgot that she can also read my thoughts.

As I was falling from being hit by the 6 Elemental stakes and the ball of Void Elemental Energy. I turned my body around to see what she was talking about. I know I should really focus on sensing everything completely but right now, my Energy Control was still inferior compared to the actual World\'s Will.

Upon seeing her figure, I immediately noticed that there are no more Energy Spheres on both of her hands, however, the surrounding Elemental Energy started circulating around her. At first, it was a slow circulation but as it completed a cycle, the speed gradually increased until it started to form a spherical zone with her at the center.

The Elemental Energy circulating around her transformed into a transparent bubble which enveloped her body.

"Now. Try attacking me."

As she hovered in the air, the silver-haired woman stood motionless in the air and ordered me. The spherical zone around her might appear harmless, however, I knew very well that the area inside it was fully under her control.

Since she wanted me to attack her, I will do so by using everything in my arsenal.

Energy Amplification!

Energy Incarnate Transformation!

Domain of Valor!

And lastly, Energy Zone!

[Energy Amplification has been activated]

[Energy Control and Absorption has been enhanced]

The silver-haired woman watched on as I opened four skills simultaneously. This time, her face that was obscured earlier became clear and showed its totally amused expression.

"Impressive. By doing that, your Energy Control swelled 3 times than what you\'ve shown earlier. However, can you use that effectively?"

The spherical zone around her kept on revolving which made it look like a spinning ball.

"What will happen if I manage to breach that zone of yours?"

"You will win this contest of ours and as your prize. I\'ll tell you the intricacy of this zone as well as the whereabouts of something you might be searching for."

"Something I am searching for... You know where the Orb is?"

That\'s the 5th Orb.

"Yes."

"Alright. You just gave me a proper motivation."

Bedevilled Outburst!

The purplish Bedevilled Aura immediately coated myself and as soon as that happened, numerous Energy Explosion Projectiles were conjured from it.

Unlike before, I\'m now exercising control to all the conjured projectiles. Every ten projectiles were then molded together into sword form.

When 20 Purple Sword Projectiles were created, the blue Swordforce came out and covered all 20 which increased the strength of the projectiles.

"Impressive. You even used that weapon-exclusive energy to further increase the power."

The silver-haired woman expressed her amazement at what she was watching from me but her tone was so flat that it could be misinterpreted as her making fun of me.

"I improvised. Even I have no idea how strong it is now. Let\'s try one."

The frontmost Purple Sword pointed at her and instantly traversed the distance between.

When it hit the border of her barrier, the series of explosions brought by the Bedevilled Outburst commenced.

Boom! Boom!

The resounding explosions felt like a hit of a hammer on a nail to bury it deeper. Due to it being tenfold of the normal Energy Explosion Projectile. The explosions instantly engulfed her whole visage, add to that, the blue Swordforce which sharpened it, the Purple Sword started to penetrate into that spherical zone of hers.

However, after 30 explosions, the body of the Purple Sword which managed to halfway stab inside the spherical zone began getting bombarded by an invisible current of energy. In less than 5 seconds, the Purple Sword snapped in half and fell out and disappeared completely.

"Is that what you mean by putting everything under your control?"

"Correct. It\'s called nullification. Any energy will be nullified as soon as it enters the zone. And that includes a person that was supported by his own Energy. How about it? Are you still confident to breach it? As long as your energy touches my dress, even if it\'s just a sliver of it, you win."

That will become another shield layer for me. Apart from the Quintuple Shields and the Energy Shield skill which Zerina gave me, this spherical zone is another layer of protection.

I already returned the Orb of Reinforcement to Nyssa. She needed it now that I wouldn\'t be there to provide my overpowered buffs.

However, why is this World\'s Will helping me like this? That one at the World of Meta only answered my questions but this one... Is she putting her hopes of repelling the Dark World to me?

"That\'s just one Sword. Do you see how many are left?"

I answered her. I then grabbed on one of the Purple Swords while I controlled the other 18 to revolve around me.

Should I try to create my 1st sword skill here or…?
