Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

Central God Realm

Radiant Divine Empire, Capital City

It was early morning, and Enigma had just woken up from his meditation. He spent the whole night meditating on Fate, and he felt like it was boundless and unfathomable to comprehend for the current him.

'Perhaps I need a fortuitous opportunity? Meh.' He stood up and did a light exercise to warm up his blood, even though it was unnecessary. He then went to the door as he had nothing to pack and opened it.

"Ah?!" Bella was surprised to see the door open itself before she could even knock, when she looked up, she saw a surprised Enigma as well. She hurriedly put on her expressionless face and lowered her head.

"I'm sorry about last night, I didn't mean to sound rude and pretentious." She had thought of her actions ever since she went to her room and dearly regretted them. She had to find a way to suppress these emotions.

"No, it's fine. In fact, I'm quite inconsiderate sometimes, so I'm sorry if I mistakenly did something to anger you." That was lie, he usually acted according to the other party's feelings, and was very considerate of people's feelings.

Like right now, he knew she liked him, but he could not help but act in a way that her impression of him would not suffer. She clearly didn't want to hate him... probably. This was also his major flaw, it had to be fixed.

"...."

'How am I supposed to not fall for you if you are always like this?! It's just unfair!!' Unfortunately he was unaware that she was suffering inside instead. She dearly wished he could make her hate him.

"Anyway, miss Bella, is there any fortuitous places like holy lands or areas where one's comprehension of Laws of Cultivation is increased?" He remembered his meditation this morning, and inquired.

Though he could wait for three days to pass by, for him to finally comprehend the Law, he could not do so for a whole month. He already wasted a lot of time, and time was no longer on his side.

"I think her highness might know." Bella cleared out her thoughts and erased all her magic, in case it affected her again before replying. But she knew this had nothing to do with her magic or her skills.

"Her highness?" Enigma inquired.

"Yes, there are two princesses and two princes in the Empire. This way please, I'll explain as we go towards the Temple." Bella said as she led him down the stairs towards the door leading outside the inn.

There he found Allen, the boys and Florence standing before a beautiful carriage. At least, this one looked like your everyday royal carriage than a futuristic, one-way floating war fortress of metal.

According to Bella, there were four royals fighting for the throne, each were Immortal Demigods. The first prince owned the Orichalcum vein, which was located near his Star City, an Interstellar like city that had highly advanced technology.

The second princess owned the Mana Crystal veins. Her city was known as Sun City, a City dedicated to her Hero, and also an advanced magic city as well. The third princess owned the God stone mine and resided within Lapis City, unlike the others, it was a medieval city.

Then the last prince owned Rose City, a completely modern city, containing the Starlight orchard. And the other things such as the gold mines and silver mines were owned by the nobles, the Demigods.

Either than that, each had a 15% share to the Heroic Temple, where heroes could be summoned from, from time to time. Bella and her group were such heroes summoned this generation.

They were supporting the third princess, who was around eighteen years old in appearance and ranked second in terms of authority amongst all the princes and princesses.

She also had her domain within the Radiant Section, her City being Tier 5, rivaling that of a One Star Empire in terms of population count, and number of inner gods, deities. All princes and princesses had the same level though.

After learning up to there, Enigma was happy. At least, he could ask this princess to help him get what he wants. Of course, not for free, which was why, 'I wonder what I can give her in exchange for her help... either than my sickly body.'

"...."

'That was a joke, I'm loyal.' He added.

"...I didn't comment"

Just like that, while touring the Radiant City, which was quite vast, covering an area over tens of millions of miles, it took them two days to reach the sub temple located here. The carriage was large enough for them to sleep in, just not comfortably, but nobody did that.

They were all powerful beings.

And it took so long because they were of course touring. If that was not the case, even with how large the city was, less than a day was enough to reach the Heroic Temple division, with their means of transport.

"So, this is the temple?" Allen wondered out loud as he looked at the magnificent building before him. Like a giant Behemoth reaching over the skies, trying to Devour the skies themselves. It was really tall.

It was miles long, made out of white material with dragon-like inscriptions on the walls. In fact, Enigma and Allen could see vein-like energy pulses within the walls, which gave out a threatening pressure.

"Amazing defense." He commented subconsciously, after feeling his own blood run cold just from a casual glance, making Florence look at him strangely, "What? Did I say something wrong?"

"No, I was just surprised you could see the divine inscriptions despite your current condition." She shook her head with a comment. Allen couldn't help but bitterly laugh from the sides, a thought coming to him.

'Dude, when are we going to stop lying to them?' He sent a telepathic message to Enigma, 'This is Fate man. Aren't no way we are pulling out anytime soon, plus, we are genuinely gods to these guys.'

'I guess you are right there.' He reluctantly agreed. 'Just get enough Reiki to match a Demigod, with our strength, we can easily impersonate them at least... after we breakthrough.' Enigma added.

'Sure.'

"Lord En, Lord Al, this way please, I'll introduce you to her highness." Bella said excitedly, it seemed like she had a very high impression of this third princess, and really wanted them to meet her.

But it was normal. En and Al were Ancient Origins to her, even up to this day, less than ten, no, five to be precise were worthy of that Status of being Ancient Origins. The first prince had two, while the others had one each.

An addition of two would give the third princess a good head start!!! No wonder she was so happy. But Florence was not that excited, "Don't you think it would be improper for gods to meet like this?"

"Oh yes, I'll lead them to our Domes first, follow us guys. You can meet her tomorrow, for today, stay with the boys this night." John smartly said as he took the lead and led both 'brothers' away from Bella, who sulked as she watched them, Enigma to be precise, leave.

"...."

Enigma did not say anything and just followed behind them, but in truth, they were not silent at all, 'By the way, have you given your wives a blessing?'

'I gave Krishna.' Allen replied casually.

'Hehehe, it's best if you give them a third, second and first grade Blessing each, then boost it up with a Blessing Divine Art.' Enigma mysteriously said with an ambigous and bitter tone.

'Why?'

'The effects are great and, if they just go like that, they would be crushed by my believer's talent and potential.' He added without any shame, and Allen believed him.

'...Sure. I have enough faith for that. Just 26 000 Faith points.' With that said, Enigma was quiet for quite a while, then, he suddenly said with a bitter tone. '...I'm sorry brother, really.'

'For what, Taking care of you? Don't sweat it man, we are brothers in this world, might as well get used to it.' Allen responded while patting Enigma on the shoulder, his smile genuine and comforting.

'....'

Within the same Temple Enigma and Allen had been led to, a young man around the age of eighteen or nineteen walked through one of the many hall ways leading deeper into the Temple's Core area.

He was not really that handsome, facial features wise, but he had a body that was at the epitome of masculinity. His figure was the apex of what men aspired to attain, possibly even gods and Gods, as it was forged perfectly.

Even a God would not forge such perfection by themselves. His body almost rivaled that of Allen, who in his current human form, had an absolute apex male body figure that transcended even that of Outer War Gods.
