Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

"Hey, about my promotion." Enigma called out after ten minutes of meditation. He was talking to no one, but he himself, knew who that was directed to.

And as for what he found out about his Aspects of Existence, it was actually quite terrifying. Firstly, his Soul was quite advanced, as he was a true god, and all true gods had Primal level souls thanks to being of the past Eras.

Primal was a rank that was at most Tier 3 ranked, out of all nine tiers. Tier 9 being the lowest, and Tier 1 being the highest so far. Thus one could say that the Providence of true gods was that of Primal beings that existed before Existence itself.

Im true god terms, it was a Fantasy Grade Soul. Which was why it was unaffected that much. Them there was the Body. This aspect was controlled by the Physique and Bloodline tab a true god had.

As long as the level of both the Physique and the Bloodline were the same, then that person's body had the potential to unleash might to that level through physical prowess alone.

Let's take someone who has both the Bloodline of XXX rated Unique grade, and the Physique of XXX also rated Unique grade, that person had a Supreme Body in that case. In other words, even if they stay as a Juvenile, if they obtain enough opportunities, they could unleash Supreme Speed and Supreme Strength.

Of course, Realm suppression against stronger beings applied, but even then, such a feat was at bare minimum, Chaotical. And Enigma already had both an undefined Bloodline and Physique.

Adding on the strain he put upon himself, his body gave up on him, as his body was no different than that of a disabled Deity. Sure, he could still manifest vast strength and speed, but it would only bring more damage to his body and complete foundation.

The same for his Spirit, which was determined by his Consciousness and Potential. Enigma's consciousness was powerful enough to comprehend Skills above his level, and his potential surpassed even the upper limit of what true gods revered.

Thus one would say his Spirit was quite vast. Unfortunate right now, it was dried up and almost shattered up. Then adding on the fact that that had no Constitution, which was the representation of Spirit, he simply had it worse.

These were his three states of Existence, one was Tier 3, another was Tier 7, and the last was barely Tier 5. The lack of resonance would only bite back at him. But he had nothing else to do, it was the consequences of his own actions.

That was why why just decided not to think much about it, and just ask the system about his promotion. Maybe some balance would appear after that. But before he got a reply, Enigma found himself within a pure space of Nothingness.

When he looked around, he found nothing but pure whiteness. This whiteness being the essence of Nothingness, that completely erased everything out of existence, the Void and everything else.

It stretched out infinitely, meaning that that erased both infinity and absolute, for it was now the only Concept to be felt. Enigma was not too sure about that, but that was the feeling this place gave him.

『Why?』

A gentle voice suddenly came from all directions, outside his head and from within his head at the same time. A Main God, or stronger. Enigma did not know how to answer that, so he kept quiet.

『You could've used you "Encephalopathy Domination" to imagine a weapon to kill that bird or imagine it out of existence. But you chose not. Why?』

The voice came once again, and Enigma smiled. "That bird was too large for me. I had wasted quite a lot of divine power and even my faith points were not enough to cover it with the skill. So it was useless."

He responded calmly without faltering. Indeed, the skill was above his level, and thus only through the miraculous effect of Faith would it be possible to use it on such a powerful being.

The voice paused for a moment and a pair of beautiful golden eyes looked down on him from up above. It also realized this and calmed down from its panic.

『Then, you're not trying to kill yourself?』

She asked, and Enigma genuinely felt like that was a stupid question. But him being himself, would not say that out loud. "Why would I do something like that? Plus we can't die can we?"

『Idiot... True Gods can die if their True Existence are destroyed. If all Aspects of Existence are completely erased, along with their past. What you did was... terrible. You could've died you know!!!』

The voice got louder, yet more affectionate as well. As if it was reprimanding him. Enigma did not know how to answer that or how to feel. So he just smiled bitterly and said, "I am sorry I worried you."

『....』

Feeling the silence, he didn't know what to do once again. Maybe it felt like he was insincere, so he lowered his head and said, "I was wrong, I promise I won't do something as reckless as that... again... and willingly..."

『I... It's fine. As long as you understand』

The voice sounded flustered for a more moment, but just for a moment. And Enigma pretended as if everything was normal,by ignoring the clear indication of that.

"So, who are you?" Seeing as everything was fine, he ignored the bashful tone of the voice and asked aloud with a smile. His smile was pure and sweet, carefree and unrestrained.

『....』

"There's no need to answer. It's fine, you abandoned me before, without a reason. I won't be surprised if you dont have an identity right now." He said ambiguously, words that would confuse anyone listening.

『...You know who I am?』

The voice asked in surprise and confusion. It was so genuine that probably anybody would believe it. Maybe because it was true. Or maybe it was not. Nobody knew, and maybe Enigma himself as well.

"I'd be stupid to not know my own mother... right?" Enigma smiled as he responded with a beautiful smile. He was so sure of his guess, he dud not need a second thought to verify it.

『...You think I'm your mother?』

The voice continued to ask. This time around, Enigma paused for a while and looked up with a strange smile. One not bitter, and one not pure, a smile even he was unaware off.

"...Not at all, I forgot I don't have one."

『You...You don't have one? That's sad, what would your real mother feel if she heard that?』

The voice continued the conversation, seemingly sad about hearing the news. It's tone became softer and more affectionate. Like a mother comforting their child.

"I wonder... but it's useless though, I'm motherless. Never had one..." Enigma said while helplessly shaking his head, not taking into consideration the feelings of anyone listening to him, or the mother that he now, believes he does not have.

『....』

Seeing the silence, he looked up and continued the latter part of his words with that strange smile of his. "...and never will."

『....』

"So, where were we, senior?" He ignored the silence of the voice and asked with a prideful expression. One of a person who looked quite stable, and content with himself.

『Uh... Er... I suddenly don't feel well, so—』

The voice stuttered at first and tried to find an excuse to leave, but Enigma cut it off. Then he waved up at the golden eyes with a smile and said his farewell.

"Huh? That's strange. Well don't worry, I enjoyed meeting you. At least you're much better than the imaginary mother I had." Not forgetting to mention the most important part.

『....』

"Bye bye, senior, I know that if I had a mother, she'd be as beautiful as you." He then suddenly sighed, his change of emotions caught the voice of guard.

『But...But you can't see me』

The voice asked in surprise and confusion. And Enigma's reply came a instantly as well, and only made it worse.

"Exactly."

Until a moment later, that is.

『....』

"It's all... an imagination. My imagination. My delusions. My fantasies. Nothing us real." He added while nodding knowingly to himself, with a carefree smile still on his face.

『....』

Peng!!~

Everything returned to normal as the sorounding Nothingness shattered like glass, and he was back at the temporarily built hut. He smiled provocatively as he looked at his hands, "I wonder how you felt after hearing that... Mother? Elder sister? Whoever you are."
