Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

That was for every other unique type of existence out there, either than one that was unique to even them.

And they were true gods, who didn't even have stats to begin with. They only differentiated between them and their opponents through senses and fighting it out with them to compare.

Unless True Will thinks otherwise.

And it had to be known that stats cannot be manually increased unless through rare treasures or weapons. Rare treasures aside, Enigma at least knew that weapons could increase stats.

One such example was here;

[Blood Sea Deck].

__________________________

[Blood Sea Deck]

[Description: A natural treasure born out of the Origin God of Blood, and transformed into a terrifying weapon of unimaginable power by an Abnormality. The Blood Sea is not something mortals can fathom, as it is a Divine Construct]

[Grade: Lost Divine]

[Special Effect: +10% to all Stats]

[Divine Ability 1: Genetic Variation(Active) - As long as you can get a sample of a person or an object, you can completely replicate said target with 100% composition, and not even Greater Divinities can tell the difference]

[Divine+ Ability 2: Blood Deck(Active) - The master can create cards for the Blood Deck, absorbing, synthesizing, transforming or creating variants and forging them into cards for the Blood Deck. 0/10]

Enigma was quite impressed as this was the Blood River he got from that vampire God, but evolved through his Fragments into a Lost Grade Artifact.

That second ability was a bit broken. According to what he found out, as among the Deck, there was "Territory", "Crown", "Army", "Gaurd" and "Source".

The "Territory" referred to the domain-like areas. In other words, such type of cards could alter the landscape and bring out an Artificial Fragment of Reality to replace the original Fragment.

Only domain that are related to Blood or other attributes related to it like Death, could be created into Territorial Cards. And of course, it Enhanced the capabilities of the Deck owner.

Next would be "Crown", which referred to the foundation of the deck. The Crown also determines the other attributes of the Deck.

Like, if he made Jade the "Crown", an attribute of Life or Speed would be added as a small bonus effect to the other Cards. But the attributes of the Deck and the "Crown" cannot contradict.

Like Life and Death, Fire and Water or the likes. Hence the "Crown" had to be an element related to Blood in some way.

Next, was "Army". This one was the most easiest to understand, as it allowed him to create a Card that would be able to summon an army instantly, but said army should be one that at least existed, or once existed.

Like, he could kill a thousand gods, then transform their souls into an Army Card that could summon them out once again. But he could not outright create a card that summons a thousand gods without a basis.

And the army could not he stronger than the "Crown", even when fighting together. That was why the "Crown" was important in the Deck, regardless of how.

Then "Gaurd" was the opposite of "Army". It only replicated one being, and that being could likewise be stronger than the Crown, but would still do anything the Crown commanded.

And lastly, will be the "Source". This one replicated special areas such as Gold Mines, Crystal Veins, Spring of Life, and could be used from time to time to fish out resources.

All in all, all of these Abilities were more than powerful enough to make him rich and unstoppable among his peers. But let us not forget the first ability as well.

The first ability was something else. It meant that he could literally impersonate anyone he wanted to right now. And if he could master memory reading Skills... hehehe...

Miscellaneous thoughts aside, Enigma was within a small temple, Jade sat between his legs and seemed overly excited. The little girl was beyond bliss, snd miles over the moon.

"Hmm~" She was joyfully swinging her head side to side while humming a soothing song, giving out the impression that all life would instantly bloom around her.

Around him were four beings, one normal human, one beast-like human, one vampire and one devishly beautiful demon-like being.

There were Zhuo Mingye, Castitas, Alfredo and Kris respectively. And Enigma couldn't be more happier, because there were all men. He was tired of having only beautiful ladies serving him... and he was straight too, just to add.

Zhuo Mingye was a middle-aged man, who wore white robes and seemed like a scholar. His looks were quite beautiful, like an ethereal fairy, making him look gently and kind.

Despite being the leader of his martial clan, he wasn't the strongest. In fact, he wasn't strong at all and only knew how to train people, having a record of single handedly training a few mortals to deity-hood.

Castitas was the tribe leader of the ferrasis humans. A tribe of overly strong humans with beast-like traits. Their strength came at the cost of being lacking in the brain development though.

He was the youngest and seemed to be around 21 years old, appearance wise. He also had the most refined body and muscles. He was also quite exposed, clothes wise.

Alfredo was the vampire leader, and also, the person with the strongest capabilities here. He was also trembling slightly due to fear, afraid that Enigma would wipe out his family in anger.

He also had middle-aged features, with a pale skin and red eyes. His build was slim and a bit muscular, but he looked quite fragile when wearing his clothes. He was also quite the devilish charmer despite his age.

The last one was Kris, a demonoid human. Their special characteristics were dreams and nightmares, being similar to Succubus and Incubus.

He looked the most fragile out of everyone, his complexion was rosy and healthy, but his body was barely covered in clothing.

All these races were considered evil and thus not accepted by the humans, elves, dwarves etc the Virtous Camp races, of the Empire. But because they were monster gods, evil gods and the likes supporting some of them, they were not killed on sight.

Nonetheless, they were still not accepted.

"You may all raise your heads, seriously, there's no need to bow." Enigma sighed for the nth time as he saw the four men kneeling down with lowered heads before him.

"We wouldn't dare..!!" Zhou Mingye said in fright, the others also nodded their heads in agreement. Only Castitas would steal a few glances at Enigma boldly.

"...Anyway, if you got nothing to say, please show yourselves out. The door is right there, or maybe, you also wouldn't dare do such a thing as excusing yourselves out?" Enigma said in annoyance, while rolling his eyes.

He learned this from Bella. As for these guys, it was obvious why they were here.

He realized that they probably wanted something from him, but he didnt quite like how they acted. He added, "You don't have to worry, I won't do you any harm, or ask too much out of you. Hell, I won't ask a thing from you guys."

"Hm, you're all not worthy." Jade nodded and added as soon as he stopped to catch his breathe. He ignored her, and continued, even though her words were purely arrogant.

"You're all just Ancient Deities, your lives are not worth a lot. You also don't seem to have... wait, do you guys have any high grade materials on you? Something around... the divine grade or something?"

He asked after changing his words. Since they belonged to him and his brothers, he might as well as demand a few things from them. Plus, it's not like he would not give out anything in return.

"Allow... Allow me to go back and check, to see if I have anything in my Treasury." Alfredo mastered his whole courage to say, hoping that he would not anger Enigma. He wanted to leave as soon as possible.

"Sure, take your time, I'm not forcing anyone." Enigma said casually and waved away the vampire's worries.

Seeing this, Zhou Mingye also boldly added, "My Lord, we do have a few treasures, but I am not sure if they are to your liking. Allow me to go and sort them out."

"Hm, you do that." Jade intervened before Enigma could say anything. Zhou Mingye turned to look at him, and he nodded, "Whatever she says."

Enigma responded in exasperation. Castitas had been thinking all along and suddenly stood up. He rushed out without saying anything, surprising not only Enigma and Jade, but Alfredo and Zhou Mingye as well.

'You fool!! How could you disregard a god and run away at a time like?! Are you tired of living, huh? You stupid ape-like buffoon!!' Alfredo thought in rage, but kept his head lowered.

'What a pity. With how the gods are, this fool is dead. He will be the end of his people and his lineage, he probably won't know how he died as well. A pity indeed.' Zhou Mingye thought in disappointment.

"...Papa, he ran away." Jade said after a moment of silence. Enigma gently patted her head, and she purred in pleasure, liking his gentle touch, "Hm, he seems to have."

'....'

Kris did not say anything and respectfully stood up, he elegantly bowed and unhurriedly said, "Greetings young lord, my name is Kris as you've heard from the young lady on your lap."

"I am the Nightmare Demon and the Auspicious Dream, the Lord of the Dreamscapers. I would like to present you this as a gift, in hopes that you accept us under your care." He said, waving his hand before himself.

Four objects suddenly appeared before everyone. One was like a broken moon artifact made out of strange rock, another one looked like a golden marble, another was a white empty crystal and the last one was a flusk full of purple liquid.

"I don't know about that, but your race was originally meant to belong to me... I think. So, don't worry about it." Enigma smiled lightly at Kris, surprising the pseudo-demon a bit.

He then asked the system to check out these resources, of course, he now owed it 2 Faith Essence. But it was fine nonetheless, he had more serious debt.

"Path of Myriad Dreams, Dreamweaver: A fragment of a divine artifact once wieldered by the Ancient Goddess of Dreams and Nightmares. Unfortunately cannot be repaired"

"Empty Divine Vessel: A vessel used to transform demigods into vessel gods (I'll tell you about this if you pay me 10 Faith Essence). It is unfortunately empty and cannot be used to transform a demigod to a vessel god"

"Eye of Sphinx: The frozen eye of the ancient Transcendental of Sands and Desserts, it contains deep boundless Law of desserts and sand, enough to bestow great power to mortals, deities and demigods. Unfortunately, it is sealed"

"Divine Blood: The blood of the Supreme Goddess of Dreams, a subordinate of an Ancient God of another Greater World. It is resonating greatly with you and your daughter"

Enigma was surprised. The materials an Ancient Deity had were greater and more than those from killing a god? Impossible. "Hey, why do you have so many rare treasures with you."

Thus, he decided to ask to find out. Kris didn't think much on it, since Enigma said that they originally belong to him, it meant that the higher gods supporting their type of races, agreed to this division.

He also knew that gods were currently descending. Or maybe, Enigma himself was one such God who supported monster races and descended for something important. He did instantly, and unreasonably kill a God didn't he?

"These are items passed down from Ancestor to Ancestor of our race. Every leader would be given these, in hopes that one day, a champion of our race could be born to inherit them." He said without hiding anything.
