Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

"Th-Thank you Young Lord!!!" She didn't knkw what he truly did, since she felt no change, but deep down, she could feel that something had occurred to her soul.

As if it was baptized and freshened out. Multiple ideas of unique dishes were already popping up within her mind, almost surprising her of the feasibility of such dishes existing!!

Like her, a lot of people experienced a lot of changes in their lives. And Enigma, who thought that this was a dream, continued to splurge out and do the impossible, the unlimited faith within him being burned out.

Enigma found himself visiting his believers in a dream he was having, stranded between existence and non-existence at the same time.... and he was everywhere, yet nowhere at the same time.

And he came to realize that, within this dreamscape, he could do anything he wanted. So, since it was a dream that didn't affect reality, he happily played around.

And that of course included manifesting the wishes of his believers. The reason he played on was because he wanted to know what they wanted most, so he could give it to them when the chance came.

But he was surprised by how simple the wishes came. Quite a few wanted to become Deities as soon as possible, and that was doable. As for those who wanted to be Gods, he couldn't accept that wish unfortunately.

As even his Main Body was not a genuine God. Yeah, it was one of the things he realized he couldn't do... for now.

Anyway, multiple Deities were born, but this were just one of the wishes. The plants, the soil, the air, the clouds, everything began changing as people gave out strange wishes.

The trees became vibrant, verdant and released pure essence of divinity. The soil was so fertile, anything planted could grow at an incredible speed, with increased effects.

The clouds became purer, the air fresher... he hadn't realized it yet, but he was changing this place into something completely different from a mortal region.

And because Nia's domain blocked them from the outside, isolating this region completely, everything that happened here, only stayed here. The regional power slowly changed into divine power as well, from the basic mana.

The fruits also mutated as well, and a lot of high grade plants appeared. Some Noval Pears, Starry Grapes, Nebulous Melons, Jade Apples and Heavenly Potatoes etc.

Everything was slowly changing, and he also realized this. Looking at everything, he took it all to mind, hoping to recreate it like this when he wakes up.

『Soquel, what do you want me to do for you?』

He asked the young woman in her early tweens as she leaned lazily on her great sword, squinting her eyes at him. She really resembled Nia by quite a bit.

"Since you can call mother, aunt, why can't you call me big sister?" She inquired with a ferocious smile, as if she'd eat him alive if he didn't give her a proper explanation.

『...Sis Soquel, what would you like me to do for you? I can do anything for you』

Enigma didn't hesitate to change his tone, bringing a smile to her face. This was the junior brother she knew, the person who didn't seem to like arguing with others.

"Make me a god too." She demanded without hesitation. To her, there was no need to shy around or beat around the bush at all. Why wouldn't she make the biggest demands out there?

Enigma knew that, and thus reciprocated her bluntness with a straightforward, ruthless reply without beating around the bush as well.

『Impossible』

"Make me stronger." She changed her words as if she expected him to say that without much change of facial expression.

『Anything else?』

Enigma also bluntly rejected her once again. And being a simple meat head, she couldn't think of anything else at the moment. "...Let me ask something first then, are there many gods where you are at?"

『Hm, hundreds. And quite few that are far stronger than I am』

Enigma responded, unaware of her thoughts. And after hearing him say that, she beamed in joy and hurriedly stood upright, "Take me there then. That's my wish."

『....』

"It can't be impossible right?" She warily inquired, hoping that it was possible. After all, there was no challenge around here, and the only place she could think of was a place that could contain a person as strong as Enigma.

The God Realm.

『I'm not really sure... let me try, oh, it works... I'm not really used to this yet, so don't look at me like that』

Enigma had swept his hand aside, attempting to open a portal. But since he knew that this was a dream, he wasn't expectant at all. He just did it to make her happy.

"...."

But he didnt expect it to work, but he was still doubtful and decided to check first, if it really led to the material plane outside this dreamscape or whatever dream he was having.

『Let me verify first... Oh~ I can't pass through?』

"...."

『....』

Soquel had really forgotten that Enigma was still young, he was probably inexperienced with using the power of gods. After all, not too long ago, he was just an ordinary being at the level a Deity like herself. But in just thirty years, he was twisting Realities and bringing his thoughts to the material plane.

It was a power completely beyond them. Which brought her to come to the conclusion that, Enigma was only in the Mortal World only for a vacation before he Attained his Divinity.

After all, what else could explain his lack of professionalism with the use of his power? She might be overthinking things, but she chose to stay with those thoughts.

As she thought, she also decided to do what any other big sister would. Try and help the little brother solve his problems.

"Let me try then..." She said and boldly walked into the portal, not afraid that it would lead her somewhere else instead.

『.....』

After a while, her voice sounded out from within the portal, "...Hey, there's a "god" here trying to stop me." She said.

『...What does he look like?』

Enigma really doubted everything now. He was having trouble accepting everything as of now, he still hoped that this was all a dream, because... none of this made sense at all.

"A huge rock, or a man? Man-rock? Rock-man? You get the gist of it. He is a man made up of rocks." She said, disregarding the so called God's Status or feelings. She wasn't afraid of him at all.

『That's really the God Realm... then in that case, I'm not dreaming?』

Enigma thought as he looked around. Everything looked like a minimized God Realm, boundless power was everywhere, and even an ordinary plant was a Grade 4 herb.

Grades were like Leagues, Grade 4 being a League 4 Herb that could affect even Half-Deities. Brewing a portion with such a herb can also affect said level of beings.

Materials, resources or minerals also had grades as well, and they were rated accordingly to leagues. Grade 1 to Grade 3 were common for mortals of first to third league, Saint and below.

Then Grade 4 and Grade 5 were common for Deities, being considered useful for them. Then there was Grade 6 which were common for common for Ancient Deities and Demigods.

Grade 7, Grade 8, and even Grade 9... the latter one even being considered Supreme levels, that affect even Supreme Gods alike. Herbs that were rarer than rare itself.

And this place had all from Grade 4 to Grade 6 types of resources. Things that he created on a whim because he thought he was dreaming all this while.

Things that if forged or brewed, could create semi-Divine level portions, artifacts and many other things. One could imagine how he felt, since he casually made them all.

"What gave you that impression?" Nia suddenly appeared besides him and asked with a smile, looking at everything alongside him.

『Ah, aunt Nia... nothing, I just thought I was dreaming since the last thing I did was sleep... anyway, what would your wish be?』

Enigma didn't want to pursue the matter because it would only make him doubt things more. The only person that can give him an explanation would be the system.

"Wishes. I need three wishes." Nia corrected him as she raised three fingers up. She didn't pursue the matter of him thinking that all of this was a dream.

『You're abusing your status already?』

"Of course, I am. Now first, expand this place." She proudly nodded her head as if she did something worth commanding for, and laid out her first demand.

『Easy enough... but since I'm not dreaming—』

Enigma felt like nothing was wrong with that, and decided that since he was already here, he might as well as do a few more things. But he still had to mention something.

"Expand it." Unfortunately Nia cut him off and hurriedly told him to expand the region. She wasn't curious about his dream powers. Since he could do it, he should do it. Why stress over the matter and limit himself?

She already proclaimed him the God of Dreams, and was planning on spreading out word about it towards the Mortals to worship him.

『Yes yes』

Enigma pouted and spread out his hands apart, expanding the Region into two, then four, then five, creating an area worth five Regions with just that action.

And it was continously growing at 50% every year, or rather by 100% every two years. And this, he nor Nia, were aware of.

But don't misunderstand. From outside, this place looked no different than a large Regional dome around the World Forest, but from within, it was way larger.

"Second, increase everyone's strength." Nia nodded her head in pride. Her nephew was already this powerful, what of her grand niece or grand nephews?

『...I can't really do that, but I can increase the strength of this Region』

Enigma tried and failed... no, he didn't fail, just that he could not directly transform people into Deities unless they were in the third league or were living deities.

"...Well that's fine too." She didn't seem to mind and just continued to nod her head. Any was fine, even if he couldn't do both, it would've been fine as well.

Enigma then released silver aura that was absorbed by everything within the Region, increasing their density and origin by a lot of leagues.

He had almost gotten a headache from doing this, which surprised him, as he thought he was limitless within the place. But guess what, that was not the case.

Even then though, the density of this place was ten times that of the outside world. Meaning that one small pebble weighing 2kg brought from here, will weigh 20kg outside.

Likewise, one pebble weighing 2kg outside, will way 0.2kg when brought in here. Making this place seem like a separate portion of the God Realm. Like a Divine Realm anchored within the Mortal Realm.

『Done』

But because of this, everyone who wasn't a Deity scramble down to their knees due to the increase in gravity and pressure, making them seem like they carried boulders on their shoulders.

『Ah...』

"...I guess we went too far." Nia said after a moment of silence, whilst using her powers as the Realm Lord of this Region to temporarily lift the weight over everyone.

『Amazing. As expected of Nia』

Enigma praised, but Nia felt like it was not sincere coming from him. How could he say that while he could do better? But she didn't mind it and instead seemed proud.

"Now lastly, stay for a while... will you?" She looked at him and demanded, but her tone was not her usual overbearing tone, but sounded like a soft whisper instead.

Enigma was affected by her tone and responded with a helpless tone... his original personality was now starting to reflect from this figure of light he was using.

『Only for a while, since I'm not dreaming, then Jade will really get worried』

"Your wife?"
