Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

Chapter 297 Welcoming Gods II



"Rumors? Dare I ask, what rumors may those be?" Enigma inquired with a light, casual smile, his attitude still carefree and with his hands behind his back.

"About the birth of a Cosmological being." The man who called himself Aeneas did not beat around the bush and instantly replied back.

"Oh?" Enigma nodded in curiosity. He knew about this, Fate told him about it beforehand. But he was still impressed how everything was going according to what Fate said.

To an absolute degree.

"I am sorry to disappoint, but no such being was born within my humble abode." Enigma politely responded.

"Is that so?" Aeneas nodded without causing much trouble at all. He then kept silent as if thinking about something, when one of the three Transcendentals spoke up at this moment.

"We clearly saw two bursts of Transcendent Laws that have escaped the restraints of Reality. You want to tell us that we are lying? Or you presume all Gods have eyesight problems?"

It was a cloaked individual who wore a baggy cloak, hiding both their figure and face. But their voice was quite feminine, thus exposing their preferred gender.

The voice also carried a hint of impassiveness and mockery. Clearly attempting to rile up the emotions of Enigma... for reasons he was not sure of himself.

"Miss, I am sorry to say that you misunderstood me. I do not imply that Gods are optically deficient. Nor am I implying that you are lying." Enigma though, still kept his calm and politeness as he spoke.

"And indeed, what you saw was genuinely true." He them added right when the being was about to speak up, surprising them quite a bit.

"Then...?" Aeneas was the one to respond, as he did not seem keen on starting a fight. His gaze was intently on Enigma, along with the other three Transcendental Gods.

"Then nothing. What I said is true." Enigma shrugged along his response, still maintaining his politeness even now. But his attitude was beginning to stick on others like a sore wound.

"Do you take us for fools?" Yet another Transcendental spoke up at this moment, being a man who had his entire body made put of noval flames.

Either than that, he also seemed homogenous, as nothing was covering his body, yet it displayed nothing intricate or unique to both genders.

"I do not." Enigma instantly replied back.

"So... you are saying that there was indeed a burst of two Transcendent Laws around here?" Aeneas inquired before any of the others could continue taunting.

"Indeed." Enigma instantly replied once again.

"But... there was no new Cosmological entity around this area? Or under your rulership?" Aeneas further investigated.

"Indeed." And Enigma repeated himself.

"Then did the burst of Transcendent Laws occur outside of your domain?" The dragonoid man slightly frowned as he spoke, wondering if he made the wrong step.

"No. It was quite around here... if not within my domain." And Enigma truthfully responded. There was no need for him to hide it anyway, there was nothing too fear.

"...Then, does that imply that a Cosmological entity, or someone stronger, just awakened two more Transcendent Laws?" Aeneas' frowned even more as he questioned.

It was not impossible after all. For a God to have more than a single Law under them. It was possible, especially so if the God was quite stronger than the Law attainment level.

And if it was true, then that meant either two possibilities. He overstepped his boundaries and questioned a zenith Cosmic entity, or, the Monster Pantheons have a Transcendental with likely more than one Transcendent Laws.

As for whether a lower level being had a higher level Law? That was impossible... as Law attainments, were the very possible tool to Breakthrough to a higher level.

Obtaining a Transcendent Law, made one Cosmological. As for forging Universes within their Domain, that was only to show their progress through the Realm.

Anyway...

"More, or less." Enigma nodded, as he also knew that mentioning the truth here would only make it seem as if he was starting a fight. As if he was thinking they were fools.

And honestly, he did not wish for that...

At least, he did not want to be the reason why they attack him. He wanted them to be the reason for him to attack them instead. It was selfish, but more of his style.

"What does that mean?" The cloaked Goddess inquired with a frowning tone, as if dissatisfied by Enigma's words... or rather his face... or something else.

"Ahem, it was just an act of me acquiring back my previous attainments. No need to worry yourselves too much, great sirs and madam. I hope I did no disturb your peace." Enigma humbly explained himself.

His tone made it seem as if he was lowering his position. And he was, because he would be more than happy to see if Fate would change in accordance to his attitude, or if it was absolute even for him.

"Hmph." The God made out of noval flames scoffed and did not say anything. Neither did the Goddess covered completely within a cloak.

"No. You did not." Only Aeneas responded calmly, before posing yet another question, "I would like to inquire once more, are you truly a being from the past?"

"...Indeed I am." Enigma nodded. At this point, it was no use denying that. Especially since almost everyone believed it to be so.

"Then, which faction did you belong to, or are planning on joining?" He pursued the matter, but right at this moment, the Noval burning God spoke up.

"Whats the use of asking? The fact that he is here, within the region of those heretic Gods, makes it obvious, doesn't it?" He scoffed at Aeneas as he spoke.

"Let us calm downâ€"" Aeneas attempted to intervene, and stop a reckless fall out, when one of his fellow members from the Light Camp spoke up.

"Give it up, Aen. I also agree. The fact that he stays here, and is tolerated by those guys, means that he is a part of them. Thus, I believe we should just uproot the problem from its roots."

"That way, we solve a potential problem sooner than later. And if you think talking things out would solve anything, then you're pathetic. And big time naive."

"How sure are you that he speaks of the truth? If he is, then why is he not removing the veil covering this whole forest? It's even Layered with perfected High Laws of Illusions." She said, scoffing at his attempts to hide his people.

"Such a secretive person is not too be trusted. Grow up, Aens. You're over a million years old for goodness sake. Not everything can be solved through words alone." Her words were ruthless, yet logical.

"...."

Aeneas was forced to come to a halt with all the words and questions he had. Especially the ones that involved Goddess Abigail. He was truly curious.

Like the Nexus God, he was more keen on finding out the truth than anything else. Something about the Era beyond millions of years ago was... off.

As for solving anything, what was there to solve if they were the problem? They were invading another party here, uninvited even. The only problem was them.

"That's more like it!!!" The noval burning God cheered in excitement as his body burst into powerful solar rays that burned down the sorounding area.

His fire was so hot, it melted down the sorounding trees and rocks. Of course, the forest below them, was still unaffected, even now thanks to Enigma.

"...."

Enigma did not speak. Instead, he watch as everything took its path, silently equipping the Ultimate Divinity [Ultimate Ragnarok]. It was comparable to a Supreme Divinities.

It had the passive effect to increase damage against stronger opponents by a hundred times, and a thousand if they were Gods. As well as an active effect that he could not use yet.

But the passive effect was currently more than enough. He also equipped the Skill Tree <[True Absorption]>, to better be able to absorb and convert things to resources.

And finally, he began comprehending two Laws, trying to break through their current limits. He was attempting to forge his very first Ultimate Law, that could also be considered a Transcendental Law.

And mind you, Transcendental Laws and Transcendent Laws were two different things. The former was a Transcendental God's Law attainment level, while the latter was a Law transcandent of all Laws themselves.

And Enigma, with his newly enhanced potential, he only required two hours here, to go from 45% to 46% of a Law, which was four days within the Mortal Worlds.

And this was when he was automatically cultivating thirty Laws at the same time. If he only reduced that number to just two Laws at once...

In just four minutes... he could have himself two Laws at the Transcendental Level. Two Laws that allowed Transcendental Gods to be able to affect countless Realities at once.

Of course, such an action would result in a more power Law attainment burst. But Enigma did not mind. According to Fate, and Destiny, by tomorrow, he would not have to worry about anyone targeting him.

Because by then, he would promote once again. And once he does, all his Laws would be cultivated to an Absolute level. All his stats would exponentially increase.

He could then freely use Divine Skills... if only, he could clean up the current mess they were in. But nonetheless, after this, he would be more than prepared.
