Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

Forget him saying that he was loyal, What happened to not pissing her off? She was an Ancient Goddess remember?

"What..? Or do you prefer that I jump on you, or you jump on me? There's no other way around it." He elaborated with a bitter smile, yet it carried a hint of teasing.

Since he could tease his brothers, why not close friends? Some might even say Enigma was finding it hard to control his teasing. In which case, he was. But was still enjoying himself nonetheless.

'Dude, you just learned how to tease, and you are already going overboard?' Allen thought as he could not believe his eyes. He had to teach Enigma a few things... especially on boundaries.

「A hug... It is then」

The Goddess of Abomination said without much thought. Though she hesitated slightly, afraid of being contaminated by... his illness? Or because of shyness or another emotion.

It was definitely not love, he was sure of that. She felt like a child to him. He could not explain it himself, but he saw her as a being of a younger origin for some reason.

Nobody said anything as both beings spread their arms and awkwardly hugged. A moment later, Enigma's body expanded and wrapped over her bit by bit.

In no time at all, she was covered into a giant ball of white glowing flesh. The ball then began shrinking bit by bit, gaining shape and humanoid characteristics the more it shrank.

At the end, it returned to being Enigma. His hair was now darker, being gray in color and his complexion a bit more healthy, being less pale. His eyes were still gray and he was still a bit skinnier than a normal healthy human, yet not a bag of skinny bones.

"Well... at least I look better than before." He complimented himself after a thought. This was a new skill he comprehended after four months of seclusion.

"What happened to the Ancient Goddess?" Reynolds curiously asked and Enigma shrugged his shoulders and responded, "She's practically Inside me."

"...."

"...."

"...."

"Hm? Did I say something wrong?" He asked after receiving the strange gazes and silence from everyone.

"Not at all." Hera said.

"Don't worry." Rodriguez added.

"Nothing at all." Herara also added.

"...."

Reynolds and the Heroes kept quiet and thought life would be nice if they did not piss of a God at all. Especially one who could absorb Ancient Gods. Allen only sighed and Su Han was as confused as Enigma.

'Isn't she inside him?' He thought to himself, as he knew asking Allen would only result in him being looked at as if he was stupid.

From them on, Time flashed by and everyone returned back to their chambers to rest. Everyone including the three true god brothers.

Enigma retreated back to his room, and relaxed on the bed. He stared at the ceiling and thought about what to do from here on out.

Everything was calm and Enigma was in his own thoughts, until a certain moment when the system told him something. He glanced around and spread out his awareness.

Then he realized that Reynolds was hurriedly leaving, so he, silently at that, followed the young boy. Despite being cautious, the young boy failed to even realize that he was being tailed.

After reaching outside the Conference Room, he climbed up his carriage and left just like that. Of course, Enigma was above the carriage, catching some fresh air.

As for why the boy or his gaurds failed to see through him, it was because he had the Status of a God. Stat wise, Law wise, and Reiki wise, he was a God through and through.

A powerful one even.

Even though he was a False God, Faux God or a Physical God at most, a God was still a God.

While he was relaxing onto of the carriage, enjoying the temporary veil of peace, he entertained the system's new notifications.

"Due to your unexpected relationship with the Ancient Goddess, and the dissipated killing intent, the system has calculated the chances of you killing her: None"

"Or am I wrong?"

It asked after being sure that he read the notification. Enigma shook his head as indeed, he had no killing intent towards her. Well, he never had to begin with.

"No." He responded curtly.

"You really are naive"

The system said with a sigh, making Enigma twitch his eye in irritation. But it did not give him a chance to retaliate at all.

"Due to the effects of your passive Divine Skill, "Karmic Casualty", you will recieve a gift complimentary to the "Eye of Abomination" from Karma"

"Karmic Casualty: Depending on how you alter Reality with your actions and change the Fates of people, you will recieve a corresponding gift from Karma in the form of "World Manifestation", depending on the kind of Fate you change. As the God of Fate, the effects are reduced slightly as changing Fates is your job"

"You have recieved the Divine Artifact, "????""

"This is an artifact formed from the Fragments of many powerful Artifacts from the past. Please give it a name so that it will be accepted within this Reality"

"...."

Enigma was surprised. He thought he had seen powerful beings, but without faith power, probably no one could affect the true Essence of Existence, it's History and Creation to such an extent.

Not even Creator Gods within the 108 Palaces could do such a thing out of thin air unless the Nigh-Omnipotent ones like his grandfather and the first generation. He frowned and asked, "The Laws, are they really that powerful?"

"To the current you, Elementary Laws (R5 to R9) are weak, but True Laws are far above the current you. Any one of them can affect Reality, all the way to Outer Realms according to their respective powers"

"They are considered All-encompassing within a Reality, but what limits them is that they share their power. Such as your Fate, [Fate]. There are also [Past Fate], [Present Fate], [Future Fate], [Living Being's Fate] and many more out there"

"But the Principle Laws are truly One-of-A-Kind. Such as the [Time], [Fate], [Karma] etc. They are considered to be the only type of its kind within the vast Realities, as the other variants originate from them. They are Abstract, as they can even affect grander construct beyond Outer Realms as long as one is strong enough"

"Doing something like this should be simple for them. But don't worry, the Karma that is serving you is only borrowing power to alter History and Reality at the cost of Principle [Karma]"

"If you put it that way, then I guess they really are strong... By the way, Allen has a Principle, what type is it?" He asked.

"It seems to be a faux-type, as it is formed out of three types of different branched Laws of Space, Time and Fate. [Voidless Space], [Preserved Time] and [Directional Destiny]"

"In simple terms, time can be shortened when he is included in time consuming activities or walking ten times the distance with just 1% the effort. But it only triggers when the "receiving end" has a form of Fate with him... I think"

"...Aren't you omnipotent?" He teased.

"That would be one originity please"

"Forget it, I've already reached my destination anyways." Enigma sighed. Not like he ever doubted the system to begin with, just that it was being unfair.

"...."

They both came back to attention as Reynolds left the carriage to enter his residence within the Divine Radiance City. He seemed ordinary from outside, in no rush and not worried at all.

After that he walked all the way towards his own study room, where a few Concealment barriers were put up. Perhaps only Gods could peak in, if they descended that is.

After walking inside, he locked the door and hurriedly sat down. He them called out impatiently, "System, show me the secrets of the recent Fragments please."

[Affirmative]

[3. Birth of The Three Fates: During The Age of Old, the young Master of Fate decided to throw away his Status just to leave the Council of Origins and gave it to his three favorite maid-servants, thus birthing the three Ancient Goddesses of Fate, Karma and Time. This also signified the path of Eras, as the Conception of Ancient Divinities... @#@$]

Reynolds read through everything, and could not help but frown in thought. "Concept of Ancient Divinities? Then does that mean that the Master of Fate is a being beyond the Ancients? How powerful are Ancient Gods by the way?"

He thought to himself, while moving on to more information. There was a lot he did not understand after all.
