Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

Middle Realm, Central Middle

Rubrum Slumps, Mother Sanctuary

Cheryl was with her two daughters as usual, and was busy transforming her Immortal Humans to Eternals. It's been a year since she last promoted and gained 190 units of faith power since then.

Like usual, she used it to turn 190 Immortal Humans into her descendant, thus making them Eternals. Their potential kept on increasing and she realized that her Heavenly Dao Law was being strengthened.

She fused 8% with the Heavenly Dao, and was confident she could fuse 100% completely with it before a hundred years. Unfortunately she still had more than 260 000 Immortal Humans to transform.

She decided to forget about everything and focus on the achievements for now. "Hm? I managed to get through as well? How lucky, I wasn't even trying at all. What if I really, really did try my best?"

She suddenly clapped her hands for herself in joy, Michu and Michelle subconsciously clapped their hands as well. They were doing what their mother was doing,  which they considered quite normal.

It was also second Instinct for them.

"Hmm~ Let's see, let's see." Cheryl hummed a tone for herself as she scouted through the achievements. But the more she went through, the more her expression got strange and hard to read.

"So... So many monsters? And Enigma is there as well, how lucky." She once again clapped her hands for him wherever he was in congratulation, Michu and Michelle also did so as well.

"But, who is this Alexia? And why do I get the feeling that I won't get along with her?" She frowned and shook her head, not to entertain such thoughts, 'Probably my imagination. It's definitely not an intuition.'

『Congratulations Cheryl Lockheart!!! You have recieved 200 000 Faith points, 2 Reiki essence』

『Congratulations on gaining the 8th place, your believers quotation has been increased by 300%. Good luck』

『Note: Reiki essence is the power of True Divinity. From now on, True Gods can offer one unit of Faith points for two unit of Divine power essence. The most minimum essence for a Demigod is 10 trillion to 50 trillion Divine power units. Good luck』

Reiki? She thought and realized that Reiki was a higher power than Divine power, and also the Essence or Source of Reality itself. But she didn't think much of it. It was not something she could play around with at the moment.

"For every single Eternal, I'll increase my Divine power by two thousand. Hm. I'm a genius." She once again praised herself, luckily she did not clap her hands this time around, making her look much more normal.

But as she celebrating, something she never thought of, happened. A message came through the True Will. A message that was literally the very definition of a miracle to the current her and her plans.

『Someone of special status is sending a gift to you, would you like to accept?』

Cheryl stopped praising herself for her genuis and looked at the message. 'Gift? Who would send me a gift either than my companions? Accept.' She thought to herself, without much suspicion or doubt.

And to regret it the very next moment, she did.

『You have recieved 100 units of faith (×1)』

『You have recieved 100 units of faith (×2)』

『You have recieved 100 units of faith (×3)』

....

....

『You have recieved 100 units of faith (×15)』

And just like that, the sudden flood of notifications stopped. Cheryl was left petrified with a stiff smile. She hestatingly clicked on one of the messages and a burst of golden droplets sorounded her.

Not believing her eyes, she pressed on all the remaining fourteen messages and she was sorounded by one thousand five hundred pure, glistering golden droplets of golden liquid, illuminating her beauty.

『You have accepted 1 500 units of Faith power from an anonymous sender』

"He...Hey!! Who sent this?" She hurriedly questioned as she felt like the True Will was about to leave. Who in their right minds would do something as crazy as this? Do you know how important that amount of faith was?!

『That would cost you 500 Reiki to find out』

"Th-That much?! I barely have two now." She sighed in disappointment. She then looked at the one thousand units of faith, she could use half to... 'Forget it, it's not really that important. You need this faith Cheryl.'

『Would you like a clue?』

The True Will suddenly asked after a moment of silence, and Cheryl did not hesitate to agree, why would she disagree? "Yes, please." She responded without enthusiasm and expectations for the clue.

『He is the "father" of the two children behind you, and this two thirds were meant for them』

With that, the True Will left, leaving a clearly devastated looking Cheryl. She threw herself to the bed and looked at the ceiling and asked herself, "Who... are you... really." Such a question invaded her thoughts for the day.

Abyssal Realm, Outskirts

Unknown Area

Louise, Mimi and Noelle hid behind a rock as they observed the millions of monsters strolling the Abyss below them. Even the weakest, mindless and underaged beasts, were an Saints in the Middle Realm, let alone the strongest.

Noelle was keeping watch as Mimi and Louise checked their achievements. Louise was not surprised when she saw the results, but a certain name on the list kept annoying her the more she saw it.

Mimi also was not surprised. No, she was, she did not expect herself to come out as one of the top ten. Even though she was clearly last, it was better when she thought of how many competitors were there.

『Congratulations Louise S. Vermillion. You have recieved 300 000 faith points and 2 Reiki essence』

『Congratulations on gaining the 6th place, your believers quotation has been increased by 500%. Good luck』

『Congratulations Mimi Daemerion III!!! You have recieved 100 000 faith points』

『Congratulations on gaining the 10th place, your believers quotation has been increased by 100%. Good luck』

『Note: Reiki essence is the power of True Divinity. From now on, True Gods can offer one unit of Faith points for two unit of Divine power essence. The most minimum essence for a Demigod is 10 trillion to 50 trillion Divine power units. Good luck』

After looking through the results and recieving their rewards, both girls sighed and sat down to finally relax. It's been 7 days, an entire week of them running around the Abyss, but a year within the Mortal Realm.

Time he was seven times as slow compared to the God Realm, thus forty nine times the Middle Realm. And throughout this exploration, Louise had a small realization of the strength of the Abyss, and also came to fall in love with a certain race.

The Fallen Angels.

Fallen Angels were disliked both in Hell and Heaven. They were equals of Devils and Seraphs, Ancient races of Hell and Heaven. These three were one of the few rulers of the Abyss' Outskirts, and Louise really wanted Fallen Angels badly.

No, she also wanted the Devils, but she was unfortunately too weak. Her Shadow Deities were all Lesser Deities now, the leader was a Greater Deity, and were weaker than the Ancient Deity and Demigod level races here.

Because of that, she had to let go of the Fallen Angel that passed by here not long ago. She sighed once again and was about to close her eyes, she had given up on obtaining the Fallen Angel for now, but suddenly, something strange occurred;

『Someone is sending a gift to you, would you like to accept?』

'Hm?' Surprised, Louise clicked the notification, and like Cheryl, was bombarded by a series of more notifications. She was unaware from whom this message came from, but she knew that would not be bad for her.

『You have recieved 100 units of faith (×1)』

『You have recieved 100 units of faith (×2)』

『You have recieved 100 units of faith (×3)』

....

....

『You have recieved 100 units of faith (×20)』

Surprised, she accepted all of them and wondered who could do such a thing for her. Until she thought of someone, and thinking up to there, she smiled, 'It could only be him.' She had absolute belief that it was him, abd only him.

『You have accepted 2 000 units of Faith power from an anonymous sender』

She was not stupid enough to manifest a thousand droplets of faith power right now, that was over a million faith points. Each droplet could light up an area of a single mile, then a thousand could light up thousands of miles.

Wouldn't she expose herself then? But right at this moment, an idea suddenly popped up in her head. One that was crazy and full of desperate intentions. A Fallen Angel. Even if it was one, she was going to get it no matter what.

Turning a beliver to an Ancient being would waste almost 20 000 Faith power, she barely got 1/10th of it. But that was fine, she would do it herself. No matter how. She was going to use all her faith points somehow.
