Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

Middle Realm, Western Cardinal

Green Continent, World Forest Region

The Legend of the Green River Kingdom.

This was a newly born Kingdom with more than five hundred million residents and a decent army. They were known for having the fewest number of deific beings.

Out of all the Kingdoms in history, it had the smallest number of deific beings. So small that, they were fifty times less compared to other Kingdoms.

But something was strange about it.

Despite the lacking number of deities, they had the most terrifying strength out of all of them. Not even afraid of fighting Empires. No matter what rank they are.

Why, one would ask?

There was the Nether Queen, also publicly known as the strongest being within Green River. She was also the Ruler of the Kingdom and one of the two grand beauties of the entire World Forest, with Nature Goddese as her contender.

She was a Deity King who had unrivaled strength below the Heavens. Even the Nature, Beast and Demon Pantheons did not have a single Deity King around her level yet. Even when combined, they held no chance.

She was a person who dared to nurture forty Stars within her Inner Zone, and has managed to convert all of them into Nebulous Galaxies. Forty... Nebulous... Galaxies!!!

Each Nebulous Galaxy increased a person's stats 4,6 times. Forty Nebulous Galaxies increased the stats of the Nether Queen by almost 200 fold. Just that alone, made her two hundred times stronger than an average Deity King with but a single Nebulous Galaxy.

And before that, her stats had already been argumentated by Enigma's blessings. A Higher Deity Nether Queen could already fight Deity Kings no problem. One could imagine her as a Deity King, with almost two hundred times the strength of other Deity Kings.

Monstrous!!!

Now, she was trying to increase the number of Galaxies within her Inner Zone, and forge a Nebulous Universe. If she succeeds, she could have forty Nebulous Universes within herself.

Each one increasing her stats by five times. Forty of them meaning another boost of two hundred times her stats.

Overall, from the moment she was a Higher Deity to now, her stats had overally increased to be millions of times more powerful than what an average Deity King could achieve.

Even as an initial Deity King, even an perfecred Lesser Deity Emperorsm could do nothing to her. Only Greater Deity Emoerors could be much of a threat to this powerful Nether Queen.

But that was not all. There was the Ancient Guardian. An Ancient Deity above Deity Emperors, rather a Mortal Demigod, who stood tall before the Grand Mountain sorounding the Green River Kingdom all by himself.

Aside from him, rumor has it that no one could fight against the Nether Queen to a standstill. Even with the overall strength that was over tens of millions of times those of other ordinary Deity Kings.

Only he matched her, and even overpowered her. Everyone believed in his strength and talents. Unfortunately, a few didn't believe it. Especially a certain Nether Queen.

Only she, herself, with her inflated ego, did not accept that he was a mere Ancient Deity. She even refused to believe that he was a Demigod, a term that she recently learned of.

She didn't believe it at all.

As a person who believed Enigma was a God, and she saw with her own eyes how David matched him in battle, how could she easily agree to his facade of being just an "Ancient Deity"?

Plus, she didn't want someone of a weaker Realm to be able to match her, or Enigma's Strength, even though she was casually doing that herself. Her pride didn't allow it!!!

Yes, Ancient Deities were weak to her. Canon fodder. Playthings. Children. They were insignificant tools. They were nothing much in her eyes.

Another rumor she dearly hated was that, people claimed that he was her husband as well. But let the both of them hear you say that, and they will probably kill you without hesitation. Nia would even make sure you experience true pain.

This was what everyone outside knew, but internally, everyone knew that Gill Jr was way stronger than them. Yes, a small being that was as insignificant as a pebble could defeat them both combined.

Gill Jr was a Pixie from the first generational Mystique father, who evolved them to become a branch family of the Mystique. That alone was terrifying, but Enigma also modified them into living personifications of stars.

As for what kind of stars, it was hard to tell.

Take Gill Jr for example. He was just the pixie prince, but was already a peak Deity King. If he were taught how to fight well, he could probably fight Outer beings stat wise, considering that Nia, with her ability to fight Deity Emperors was helpless against the current him.

After all, this little guy was someone who dared to build fifty five Nebulous Universes within his Inner Zone, and was aiming at converting them to pure Universal constructs.

Even a peak Immortal Demigod would not claim to be able to defeat the pixie prince without trouble. That was how terrifying the Constellation Pixies were.

But that is still not all. Each of the Regant Monarchs were Deity Kings as well with terrifying prowess, and the Patron Lords were not far from reaching that realm as well, maybe within a few months.

Yes, this was the internal strength of Green River. There were a minimum of almost thirty Deity Kings. And this is when two were still missing, namely, Noelle and Gill.

The number of ordinary Deities from Lesser Deities to Greater Deities were a thousand. But only eight years have passed since Green River Kingdom's birth, they were still too young to complain about the number.

Even the prideful Nia did not complain. Instead, her heights were set towards the near future.

"I want to see how far I will take this place after seventeen more years. Before then, I'll keep these things with me for ten more years." Nia thought aloud as she looked at the white small crystals within a larger treasure chest.

It's been three years since then.

For the first year, they increased by 30% from 181 to 235, which was exactly what she had thought. Content, she put them away and let the pixies, who were each Higher Deities to watch over them.

But after another year, they increased by 40%, surprising her. She didn't know whether she made a mistake or not, thus she waited another year, and it was once again a 40% increase.

By now, she had 461 Fragments before her. She had long stopped trying to understand the pattern. Since they came from an abnormality like Enigma, they of course had to be abnormal as well.

"At this rate, there will be more than 10 000 of these things after ten years, meaning thousands more of Lesser Deities... That is, if I use them. I'll just keep stock piling them until I make enough to start an entire civilization of gods.

"And, the Providence around here is very high, there's tens of Deities being born every year. There was even thirteen last year. Our fortune is quite abundant." She thought happily, drunk in her success.

But her happiness did not last long. "My lady, the Beastfolk seem to have chosen the latter option and have already sent their main army over. The two Deity Lords under the Beast King have already been sent over."

A report arrived as she was enjoying her peace. It was something that had to do with one of the Empires of the World Forest, that stood against the Demons and the Elves.

"Do they really want war?" Nia curiously asked with her head leaning on her hand, which was leaning on the armrest of her throne. She was sitting comfortably on the throne, and on the sit of an Empress.

"I'm not really sure, but I think that they would not submit without a fight. Beastfolks are originally war-like creatures. So it makes sense." The dark elf scout lowered her head and respectfully reported, adding her on thoughts to the matter.

"I see. No problem. Show them our strength then, make sure not to wipe them out completely, lest they think we are tyrants. Just send four of the Regant Monarchs alone, and give this Region a show." Nia said, oblivious to the fact that she was already one. A tyrant.

She felt it unnecessary to send a larger army when four deific beings were already enough. In fact, four was still an overdo. One deity King should be able to currently affect an entire Regions, let alone four of them.

"Yes my lady." The dark elf bowed and left. She vanished out of thin air like black mist. She was from the division of Sion and Night, a dark shadow scout.

"The remaining two Regant Monarch are to go visit the demons, make sure that they wipe out at most 50% of the entire army and disrupt any schemes they have in mind. We require a bit more time, but wiping them out would be no good either." Nia added.
