A wide desolate plains with no greeneries in sight. This is what this world looks like. Well, there are still plants growing but all of them also have the brownish color of the ground, if not for the numerous beasts roaming this world, these barbarians would have resorted to cannibalism or eating muds.

Currently, I was flying atop one of Old Man Reol's Pillars. The Eagle one. A day has already passed after that underwhelming victory against the detached forces sent to the tribe.

Erin spent the night with me, it took around 3 hours for her to gather enough Brute Energy to break through to 5th Stage Augmented Realm even with my help.

Overjoyed from her breakthrough, she didn't leave my tent and decided to sleep beside me.

Err. She wanted to get even when Avelin spent the night there.

Well, after she's done with her breakthrough, I also checked my gains. Since I already maxed out my system, my Support Bonus to the heroes I registered was improved. From 0.2 it became 0.5. I guess even afar, Raiden and Yuko felt that increase in their Int. Our unique abilities were influenced by our Intelligence stat so they probably felt the improvement of their abilities.

After that, I also started cultivating. Erin was already snoozing quietly in my bed. After covering her with the blanket made from beastskin, I moved away to not disturb her during my cultivation session.

Because my Int stat also got an increase, I reached the 2nd Stage Augmented Realm after four hours, creating my 2nd Augmented Skill, Energy Slash.

I still need more offensive skill and this time, the purpose of that Augmented Skill was to be a ranged attack. Be it with my sword or my hand, by using the Augmented Skill, a sharp condensed Brute Energy will be generated that can slash at my target.

It's not as strong as the Energy Explosion's offensive power but it's enough since it's a ranged skill.

Achieving another breakthrough in such a short time surprised them once again. But for me, with my impending return to Earth, increasing my Physique Cultivation is a must.

Because of the lack of news about the army and Raiden, Old Man Reol decided to go to where the battlefield and the other tribe was located to check.

He didn't leave the tribe unguarded though. By rallying up their subordinate tribes, reinforcements at the level of Augmented to Saint Realm arrived.

Unless another Corrupted King Realm attacked, there will be no threat.

So why am I flying with him?

When he was about to leave, Old Man Reol asked if I wanted to come with him. Due to my insane progress, he considered taking me to that major battlefield.

He planned to take a look and to determine why there are no messages arriving. And as a Pinnacle King Realm, he's the best reinforcement they could ask for.

Of course, I accepted. This is a chance for me to see the bigger picture of this world. I failed to do this during my time in the World of System but here, to see something major like this which involved a stronger force of the Invading World, I can't allow myself pass up on this opportunity.

On the way, I asked the Old Man to tell me things about this world. The place where the Heavenly Lightning Tribe was located is called Desolate Plains.

North of it was Frost Wilderness where most of the trees who could grow persist from the cold. Barbarians up there were known for their pale skins and their fondness for woodcarvings. Only those at the northern part of the Desolate Plains could interact with them. They dreaded the desolateness here. But Raiden already sent someone to serve as an envoy to negotiate with them.

East of it was Midsummer Coast which was connected to the sea. The Barbarians in that area were unfriendly to everyone, they isolated themselves to selfishly enjoy the bountiful harvest from the sea.

There's nothing on West, that part was known as the Edge of the World, there's a tall cliff there which when you looked down from above, you'll only see endless darkness.

And lastly, the South is the Beast Mountain Range which consists of numerous mountains and valleys. Those are home to more terrifying beasts than the ones roaming the Desolate Plains.

The Invading World was probably attacking the North and East as well. There's also a small possibility that they're also in the West and South.

According to Old Man Reol, the Emperor Realm eluded all of Pinnacle King Realms. Only one exception appeared 300 years ago. He managed to breakthrough to the Emperor Realm and swept the whole World of Barbarians before unifying it under one tribe.

If not for him reaching that stage, everyone believed that the limit of Physique Cultivation was 5th Stage King Realm.

However, 100 years later after unifying the whole world, that sole Emperor Realm vanished from history. Some say, he died due to old age, others say he jumped off the Edge of the World seeking new opportunities to reach the realm higher than the Emperor Realm.

No one could verify that since after he vanished, the world once again plunged into chaos and that led to the current division right now.

No one could grow larger than a large tribe in the Desolate Plains. If someone tried to, they would earn the animosity of the other large tribes.

With the appearance of Raiden, chaos once again started as he tried to unify the Desolate Plains.

Right. According to Old Man Reol, Raiden only planned to unify the plains before taking on the Invading World.

Just that the Invading World don't want to give him time anymore. Because of what happened in the previous world, they sped up their invasion to not give the heroes more time to grow up.

But yeah, because of speeding up their plan, their preparations also became insufficient.

If they only revealed themselves after completely preparing everything then the fall of this world will be a foregone conclusion.

It seems my appearance really sets a chain of reactions not only in Yuko's Otherworld but to every world they were trying to bring down.

"How was our world compared to yours? Chieftain never talked about the world he came from but from what you're wearing, that's not made from beastskin, right?"

After answering what I wanted to know, Old Man Reol thought of asking me about Earth.

"It's vastly different than here. Even from up here, all I can see is this desolate plain with little to no life, for everyone to live and grow here is like a miracle. But I guess at one point, our world was also like this minus the existence of Physique Cultivation."

Well, there's really no point comparing the two. Earth is what you can call normal, but maybe in their eyes, Earth can be a paradise where they can live their lives peacefully.

But yeah, now that I'm exposed to these Otherworlds and the threat from those mysterious enemies, it won't be as peaceful if they managed to reach Earth and lay waste in it.

"Your world is full of weaklings then? For it to produce the two of you, I guess there's always special existences even if the worlds we live in are vastly different to each other."

Weaklings eh? He's right about that, it's a peaceful era there that there's no need to be well-versed in combat like every barbarian here.

"Though this world is a bit harsh for someone from our world, I could clearly see that you're all living the best that you can, so comparing our world doesn't really have a point."

After that, Old Man Reol asked about how Raiden was back on Earth. I told him honestly how I just met him a week ago.

He got the idea that our world is a peaceful one where killing another is forbidden. Compared to Raiden when he's in this world, he couldn't imagine Raiden behaving himself in there.

After 2 hours of flying through the sky, I saw from below a number of pitched tents that's not from a tribe. And with the banner of the Heavenly Lightning Tribe, I determined that this is where they made camp. But the place was deserted.

Whoosh!

Like a welcoming treat for us, a huge boulder came flying from somewhere. I immediately ducked and it passed by where my head was previously.

The boulder then flew straight to Old Man Reol.

The Turtle Pillar of him quickly went to where the boulder will hit and reflected the boulder back to its thrower.

I looked down and followed the boulder. There's a Corrupted Barbarian not far from the deserted camp and judging his strength, he's a Corrupted King Realm.

Where are they and why is there a Corrupted Barbarian lying in wait here?

"Daisuke, I'm going to send you down to the ground. Try to find clues as to where they are."

Old Man Reol used a different way to say that I'm in the way by occupying one of his Pillars.

Though finding clues down there is close to zero, it's still worth a try. This place was supposed to be where the tribe's whole army was made to stand by while Raiden was storming the enemy tribe's camp. Did they meet an enemy or Raiden rallied them to him?
