Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

World of Terra, God Realm

Monster Domain, Castle of Blood

"What is the meaning of this?" A man in his early twenties shattered the wine glass in his hand in anger. Around him were three beauties, as well as five young individuals.

The three beauties were of course his wives, while the five young individuals were his children. They were supposed to be six, but unfortunately one died not too long ago, angering the Blood God.

"Husband, calm down. I-I think there is a better explanation for this." One of the three beauties tried to calm down the young man in his early twenties with her soothing voice.

She had long blonde hair, Western features and top class figure. Though not at the level of Louise or the Abyssal Monarch, she was still a beauty to most others.

"An explanation? Out with it, I'm curious what that whore of a brain of yours can come up with!!" The man roared at her with anger, causing her to shy back.

The words affected her quite badly, but she didn't fight back or say anything. She obediently pulled back and lowered her head.

"Enough, Alton!!! You can't shout at her like that!!!" Another beauty, a dark haired beauty with a pale complexion and a top class figure as well, stood before the blonde beauty and resisted the young man.

"Or what Altria?! Huh?!" The young man roared at her as well, standing up from his chair, and bearing his fangs at her. Both their eyes had turned red, as if ready to fight at any moment. "You're not the one that lost their son!!!" He added.

"Don't test me, Alton. I'm not your fucken dog!!!" Despite being a vampire born out of him, the woman called Altria seemed to have enough pride to go against him.

His oppression, his glare or his might didn't make her falter at all. Though she would lose 10/10 within a fight, that didn't mean that she would be obedient.

"ATRIIIAAAA!!!" The young man was about to completely burst out in rage and attack her. But the third woman, who had a pure white complexion, white hair and wore white clothes opened her eyes and looked at him.

Just that glare alone cooled him down. "Tch, Altria, my room, tonight."

"As if. You should go fuck yourself, you slut, manwhore, son of a bitch, you ass hole." Altria spat towards the side and insulted him continously without a hint of fear or hesitation at all.

"Al...tria..." Alton glared back at her, his chest puffing up and down in rage, but he still did not attack. The woman in white was a spokesperson of one of the Rokushiki after all, and even as a Transcendental god, he was nothing important compared to her.

"You know what, why don't you go and investigate what happened to Dame?" He calmed himself down and sat on the main chair, looking at Altria resentfully.

"...Why me?" Altria frowned and was thinking about finding an excuse out of this. Though she disrespected him, she was weaker and was still of a lower hierarchy, plus, his wife and bloodline member.

"You're the strongest out of everyone except me and Beatrice. The God Realm is now dangerous and filled with gods everywhere, wouldn't it be a pity if more of my children died?"

"Especially... if said child is also yours." He smiled maliciously at her, causing her frown to grow even more unsightly.

"And of course, I cannot go, I am the King of this place, my death means your death. Beatrice also can't go as she is my right hand man, that only leaves you and Mady."

"Or, you prefer Mady to go herself? I don't mind who goes between both of you whores. Losing you two won't be dementrial to me or my children."

"So the choice is yours Altria. Either you go, or Mady does, or Evan goes himself. I'm not going to force you sweetheart, just make your choice, Time is ticking though." The smile of his grew bolder and more demonic.

"I-It's fine, Altria-nee, I'll go." The docile woman called Mady pulled the sleeves of Altria and said with a low voice, causing Altria to grit her teeth in anger and resentment.

"Is that so? Altria, do you accept?" Alton curled his lips up and looked down on her.

Altria was checkmated. Regardless of her choice, it would be her losing out and not him at all. For example, if she leaves, he'll take out his rage on Mady and Evan.

If she stays and Mady leaves, then nothing will happen to her, but Mady was weak, so weak that she would die the moment she went out. And the one who will be pained would be her.

The same for her son-in-law, Evan, if he left, then her daughter and grand daughter would lose their husband and father. Evan was also a strong assert for her.

Within the monster circle of gods, there are fifteen Gods, out of the whole forty-four Abyssal Gods that stem from the Abyss, and each of these fifteen representing a monster race.

Pity only eight are alive, as amongst the fifteen, seven had died due to the current spreading Ragnarok. And it just so happened that he, as the Blood Lord, the Vampire Prognitor, was one of them.

These fifteen had vessel gods around Origin level with them. Evan and herself were one of those vessel gods under Alton, her being a perfect Origin vessel god.

A Transcendental God could have around 46% to 70% Mastery of a law, and unlike Origins, they could increase the law they bestowed upon their vessel gods to increase their strength.

Alton was a perfected Transcendental God. She, herself, had recieved 45% from him, giving her perfected High Origin prowess, while Mady, the new wife only had 25%, which gave her perfected Major Origin prowess.

Beatrice was also a perfected High Goddess, whose process where stronger than Altria, as she was an original, instead of just a vessel goddess of another person.

The children were all demigods, who were expected to become individual Origin Gods on their own in the future. Only Dame, the youngest and Favour was given yet another 10% by Beatrice to become a vessel God temporarily, so he could play outside.

Only to die the moment he descended. 'What a pathetic fool to go and die so soon of.' was what his siblings thought of him at the moment.

Luckily the remaining six children were all safe and sound, not far from breaking through. By then, maybe they could increase the number of gods within the vampire family.

Aside from Alton of the Vampires, there was also Kama of the Werewolves, Diedrich of the Aboleths, Boer of the Bugbears, Fairlane of the Chimeras, Abbelice of the Lamia, Ernest of the Dragonoids and Gaby of the Goblins.

Unfortunately Abbelice the Goddess of Anarchy, was missing since her parent, the Goddess of Discord and Abomination was schemed against and killed within the Empire. She was forcefully thrown down before the restriction was loosened.

Her abilities and realm were decreased greatly to that of an Origin, then, the rest was unknown to the gods. Their eyes within the Empire were through their believers, and no believer saw what exactly happened to her.

And neither do they know where Abbelice was, and none of them had the time to care about that right now.

As of now, the number of Transcendental gods supporting monster races were five, because Abbelice was gone, the number was just five. As the seven Gods killed, were all of a Lesser Divinity.

The Greater Monster Gods were quite strong after all, and the other factions could not compare. They easily stood their ground against their form of trouble that came.

But still, the dark and light faction still had over thirty gods left, while the monster gods only had a few gods, not even numbering ten. The chances were leaning towards the former two.

Back in the day, it was monsters verses humane and neutral. But now that the monsters were down to five, the humane and neutral side might take this chance to eliminate them completely.

They could never be sure.

"I'll go." Altria hissed through gritted teeth. Evan and Mady looked at her and didn't say anything. Mady looked down in sadness, guilt and fear, while Evan clenched his fist.

Altria did not waste any time and left after a small preparation. Nobody stopped her or said anything as she did so, niether did she herself say anything as she left.

"Tsk, stupid bitch, I hope you die." Alton didn't shy away from saying this out loud, disregarding Mady, Evan and Altria's daughter, Eve. But niether of them fought back nor said anything.

They were not like Altria. They were not that bold. They could not bare the Torments to come if they did disrespect a Transcendental God.

Meanwhile, within the same forest Enigma had temporarily taken over, two beings stood at the edge, looking at the entrance towards the forest, with intrigue, wonder and skepticism.

On the left was a short beauty with a bountiful figure, her chest was packed and her figure was bust. She had gray hair and gray eyes, along with a grayish-pale complexion.

There was a thick tail behind her that was swaggering left and right. Her head had two long horns piecing through the sky, as if wanting to Defy the Heavens.

She was Neonate, the Transcendental Goddess of Space and the Mother of all Dragons.

Besides her was a large man who stood at three meters tall. He had a body completely made out of nature, with moss growing from some parts of his body.

He wore a cloak completely made out of grass and his hair was like the crown of a tree, spread out on all sides like a hat, obscuring his facial features.

He was Dui, the Transcendental God of Trees and Animals, as well as Father of all Dryads and Trees within the Mortal world.

They both stood there and warily looked at the forest, no, they looked at the immense Reiki oozing out of the forest, that rivaled even that of God Lords that stood at the level of Rokushiki, possibly even surpassing them.

"He really is here." Neonate said with a frown, her beautiful face seeming cute for a moment, Dui did not say anything, but tightened his fist and calmed his heart.

These two were a pair of perfected and peak Transcendental gods, they were Gods of the Neutral Faction of The God Realm, which only had less than ten members... The rest up in Purgatory.

They were likewise the only two Transcendental Gods of the Neutral Faction branch, making them seem like Pantheon rulers of multiple Gods and vessel Gods. But right now, they were careful about entering a small forest.

"Not like standing here will get us anywhere. Let's just go in and deal with this really fast, I'm sleepy." Neonate yawned and said, maybe she was trying to act tough or not, but she didn't move even after saying that.

"...."

Dui still did not say anything. He only picked up Neonate without a word, causing her to let out a cute cry in surprise, before she stopped after being put on his shoulder.

"You big fool, you should let me know first if you're going to do something like that. Hmph, show some respect to your friends..." She pouted, but Dui did not say anything.

He then kicked the floor lightly, sprinting towards the inner forest at vast speed. Exceeding the illusory speed of light despite his massive body, but it was still only at almost.

The forest was not large enough for him to use his full speed. If he did so, not even a second would go by before he went through the whole forest, back and forth.
