Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

Central God Realm

Radiant Divine Empire, Faar Plains

It's been a month since the day the achievement boards were opened, and two days away from reaching the Divine Empire. Throughout the way, the group of Heroes had become more respectful.

But Enigma and Allen did not seem to see that. Instead, they were niether humble nor arrogant, and treated them as equals. In all honesty, they were not Gods of the Infinite Realms, thus felt ashamed to act all high and mighty before others. Enigma did, Allen...

Throughout the journey, Enigma had been asked to spar with Florence due to their sudden burst of faith points. They even had the gall to ask him to hold back, since they thought he recovered his Divinity.

He had to go through a lot to explain the true situation to everyone. But even then, he was challenged by the two boys. Luckily, Bella was there, she made it possible for the battle to be a two-on-two battle instead.

...She didn't help at all though.

But at least Enigma learned a few things. First, constant use of his laws would increase their comprehension. Without his broken comprehension ability, this was the only way he could grind on his laws.

Second, the two boys were on the top ten fastest Heroes of this Era, making them tough opponents. But Enigma realized that their ability was like an advanced form of his [Divine Speedster].

Thus he used them to comprehend the ability even more, strengthening his own understanding of the Motion Principles, and made it Breakthrough to a Divine skill. If used with Reiki as a source power, he was able to match one of them in speed.

"Hey, I didn't lose, I was able to run with him leg to leg!!" Jim said in defense, as his older brother continued to tease him. Unlike Enigma, Allen was unfortunately not able to catch up to him in terms of speed.

But he did comprehend an instant-reflex skill that made it possible for his body to dodge most of John's attacks. Most, not all. Which was still an impressive feat, considering how fast the brothers go run.

"Yeah yeah." John brushed off his brother as such. Jim was not convinced that John believed him, so he continued, "It's an improvement that I was able to run toe to toe with a God. And En is more powerful than Al!!"

"A God that has lost his Divinity." John corrected without much of a thought.

"Didn't they recieve it back the other day?!" Jim was not convinced. This started three hours ago and continued all the way to now, and showed no signs of stopping. They were still arguing, or one of them was.

Florence ignored them and instead saw a carriage heading towards the Empire. By foot, it would take them a long time to reach the Capital, which was why transportation was better, she thought.

Though the speed of Deities was fast, they were not allowed to fly above the buildings within the cities and towns. And flying through the districts would be much slower than transportation, "Hey young fellas, need a ride?"

An old farmer stopped his carriage and asked in an idle tone. Carriage... was an understatement to use, when defining this machine. The horses looked like monsters, with their thick muscles and three meter tall height.

The carriage was made out of metal and looked like a small fortress instead. And it did not have wheels, but was hovering a meter above ground. Yes, this was not medieval at all. It was way beyond technological!!

"...." Enigma.

"...." Allen.

"Yeah, we are going to the Capital. Fare?" Florence ignored the idle tone and did not seem disrespected by the tone, whatsoever. She was from a modern era where everyone had equal rights and freedom of speech.

At first, she thought Enigma and Allen would mind and get angry, but she was surprised to find out that they were still not offended at all. Their attitude closely resembled Heroes than ordinary Gods.

"Darn lil' girlie~ That's a month away with this good ol' baby of mine." A young countryside boy peaked from the window and said while putting the iron carriage with a relatively proud expression on his face.

Florence was still not offended, but that did not mean the old man could let it slide though. "Billy!! Watch your manners when you are around adults boy!! This aren't the country side, nor tis your aunt Mally's farm."

He reprimanded the young man and and smiled apologetically at her. Florence waved to let it slide then looked at Enigma. She would have liked to see them suffer at least once due to their arrogance as Gods.

Gods were arrogant and would not associate themselves with such low class beings. Even if they lost their powers, they were still Gods at heart. But these two were different. It was starting to get on her nerves how humble they were.

One did not seem to be affected by external occurrences. Even when he was taunted and scorned at by the two brothers, he casually let it slide. The other... was like a wild man, he knew how to live in the wild better than mortals themselves.

She knew that something like these taunts would not shake them. At least, they were one of the few Gods she especially respects despite her annoying it was, which was why her attitude changed throughout the journey.

"This way my lords." She opened the door for them and respectfully stood aside. Allen and Enigma were embarrassed, but their faces were thick enough to not let it show. Especially Allen, who took the lead.

"...Thank you." Enigma sighed and went in first, before Allen. Allen followed right after him in silence and defeat. Then Bella followed, followed by the boys and lastly was Florence herself.

It took a moment for the iron carriage to move after the door was closed. The old man sweated buckets as he thought on how respectful Florence was, 'Lords? Demigods?!' Hos heart skipped a beat.

He was shaken to the core. Demigods had the status of nobles, while Gods were royalty. If a Demigod becomes a God, their status increases, and the more nobles they have, the higher it becomes.

The God Realm was one fifth of the Middle Realm, and its calculated area was over a million light years. And it would take a Saint millions of millenias, billions of year, just to fly around it at a casual pace.

The Radiant Divine Empire covered a tenth of the Realm in terms of territory size, but the whole Realm belonged to them overall. It would still require even Demigods less than a week to explore the whole Empire by themselves.

As for reaching the capital from where they are, it was only months away. But if they rushed while using such a decent transporter, such as this one, they could reach there in less than a single month.

Green Continent, World Forest

Green River Capital

A young teenage girl breathed in and out at a leisure pace, as she sat in a lotus position, yellow hue of light could be seen entering her body from her soroundings, and changing to blue at a visible pace.

Within her Inner Zone, the numerous Stars that were born from the ignition of the Planetary cores of her thirty Planets, rotated in a unique circulation, with the largest main Star at the center, releasing regalness and majesty.

Other than that, her soroundings were blooming perfectly and looked like a semi-divine orchard. The flowers were covered in golden sparkles and the ponds looked refreshing, enough to tempt even Demigods into taking a sip.

This went well with the beauty of the lady who was absorbing natural innate Mana and converting it into Divine power essence. Her hair was silver, reaching to her waist, which went well with her white robes and pale white complexion.

Her face was fair and adorable, she had a small nose and small pair of soft delicate lips. Her eyes fluttered from time to time, making her look alluring and gentle. Like a newborn Goddess Fallen from the Heavens.

"Whew~" She blew out a breathe of turbid mist as she opened her eyes with a sigh. A pair of gentle emerald eyes looked down in disappointment. Her delicate features could soften even the most stiff colder heart.

She had once again failed to breakthrough into the rank of Deity Lord. The rank that was previously known as the Immeasurably-Hard-To-Reach realm of Deities, before the illusory Deity King Realm.

Her name was Lexi, a younger sister of Lulu. One of the Seven girls that were with her when they met Enigma through his Pressure nine years go. She was now 16 years old, and have hit her puberty, becoming a real beauty among beauties.
