Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

Hearing the new term, Nia became nosy and curiously inquired. She did remember him refusing some of her daughters because he claimed to have a wife.

『Daughter』

But his response made her even more happy, as she didn't expect him to start having children whilst so young. Yes, Enigma was still a child to Nia. "Oh my, I already have a grand niece? Tell me about it."

『Sure』

And just like that, Time flowed greatly as Enigma bonded with Nia, and the others. Though, he mostly bonded with those who were within the higher ups only, as those below didn't dare treat him casually.

In fact, to them, Nia and the other Gods were more approachable than Enigma, as they still felt more humane and their power weren't as vast and otherworldly as his.

They opted to worship him and treat him as a rare occurrence.

That aside, Enigma also got to learn of the En siblings fusing with most of the beings within the higher up that didn't have his blessings, and even became Ancient Deities.

This was worth celebrating as the En Siblings found something to do either than lazing around, plus, the more gods, the merrier.

As for the remaining siblings, they opted to be by themselves and mostly stayed around him. En Tristitia was worse as she acted spoiled, like a certain daughter of his. While Gula and Jyuubi opted to stay silent most of the time.

Hm, they acted like a domestic cat and dog. As they would do anything he said, while mute, as if they couldn't speak at all.

That aside, he also learned about the almost a million Fragments that Nia has, as well as the God Tree that she planted after defeating the Elven Forest.

According to her, it was quite young and could not bare any fruit as of now, but it created some sort of pure honey-like droplets every year from each leaf.

They had enough to fill up over a hundred buckets, but they didn't know what to do with it and thus kept it within the storage room.

Enigma knew that this was faith power, and since he couldn't recieve faith for the time being, he decided to take them back with him... he, Allen and Su Han had been genuine gods for too long (5 years).

One day, Ten days, twenty days, a month, and finally three months. Enigma had lost track of time and stabilized his reign around the region along with Nia in tow.

Many temples were built. And there were ten statues of every member of his team within the main hall... he felt like doing something like this wouldn't hurt anybody at all.

He found faith useless after all, plus, he had a 75% discount, making most of his transactions seem really cheap. And it's not like they would recieve faith because somebody worshipped them.

There were rules to the faith system. Said God had to contribute in order to recieve faith, unless they were under a pantheon, which most of them weren't.

"Hey, come on, lets go, you're wasting time." Krishna impatiently called out to Enigma as she couldn't wait to visit the God Realm, and reunite with her husband.

"Calm down, you shouldn't be so blunt." Lulu reprimanded her sternly, worried that Krishna would offend Enigma.

"Relax, he is my brother in law." Krishna shrugged her shoulders as she felt like Enigma wasn't that type of a guy. In fact, she knew a bit more about him than Lulu.

"But..."

"Come on, if you really like him, you have to be comfortable around him." Krishna bluntly said, cutting off her friend mid-way.

It's been three months, and they bickered like these almost everyday. Lulu had been exposed ages ago, she just pretended as if she wasn't aware of it herself.

"Don't say that out loud!!!" She tried to reproach her friend, but her expression was shaded pink due to embarrassment, and her tone a bit softer and lower than usual.

"...What's there that he doesn't know? He's a god, he probably knows about your feelings for—"

"Krishna!!!" Lulu couldn't bare with the embarrassment and covered Krishna's mouth with her hands, and hid her face within her embrace, avoiding the world.

"Oh~" Krishna realized that she went too far and apologetically looked at Enigma. He didn't know why she looked at him, and could only sigh by himself at the corner.

『....』

The ones coming with him this time were actually not a lot, either than those at Nia's level such as Leon, David, Nature Goddess, every other young God-candidate was coming.

Then Soquel and her three sisters as well, Lulu and Krishna. As for the two previous elders of both Empires, the two Beast Lords, the Elven Minister and the Elven Queen would stay behind.

Ali was also staying behind, along with the Pixies, meaning that also Gill Jr as well.

All this combined added up to over forty beings that were going with him to the God Realm.

『Since we are all here, I'd like you to go through the portal before I wake up, cause I think it will destabilize once I do that』

He said, trying to ignore Krishna and Lulu. As of yet, he didn't know what to do with them. He didn't mind taking them in, but he minded what Louise thought about it.

He was just like this, to Allen, Enigma was a person who would prefer the opinions of others than himself, most of the times. And here as well, he put Louise's opinion above his.

Plus, he only wanted to accept them because they liked him, as for himself, he, so far, didn't have such feelings towards anyone, including Louise.

In her case, it was like she was some sort of destined partner for him. Like some sort of missing part of him, with maxed out favorability with him. He felt at peace around her.

Belle was a different case, as he came to like her devotion to him and her presence. He did spend more than two years with her, and they got a bit close since then.

As for Lulu... they could cultivate feelings through the process. Anyway, there was still Cheryl's matter with their two daughters. Now that he thought about it, he did have a lot of women interested in him, like Allen.

And for these little girls, Lulu and Bella, as long as their feelings were sincere, he didn't see anything wrong with accepting them. Polygamy, was not a sin after all.

Cheryl was a different matter altogether. He wasn't aware of her feelings for him, and she and Louise were quite close with each other. Taking her in might bring out problems between the three of them.

No, she might not even be interested him, and this whole ordeal was a mistake. Maybe she was just out for his Bloodline. Hm, that might have been the case.

Enigma cleared out his mind as currently, he had no intent of taking in a wife. It was also the reason why he ignored the girls' feelings, as well as not looking for Louise.

There was no need to rush things. He was not ready for all this love life. He was still seeking out emotions and feelings, and maybe one day, he might find love.

"You better make sure to visit this time around, at least once per decade or something." Nia, who was floating besides him said sternly, afraid he might forget her again.

"Indeed brat, I didn't expect you to be a real god." David said with a sigh, as he remembered thirty years ago, when he and Enigma played around for months before the demigod Beast came for him.

"Are you going back?" Nia curiously asked him, but her tone carried a lot of meanings. Who didn't know that she and David had a kind of spark between them.

"No, I left my life up there, and have devoted myself to this one." David responded casually, then added, "Its not like it was anything fun. Plus, I've got a hot milf—"

"Hm?" Nia turned to look at him with a smile, causing the sorounding temperature to go down by a lot of degrees. Causing even Enigma to pull back, in case of being affected by a crossfire.

『Anyway, Nia... Aunt Nia, I promise to visit. And senior, if that is your choice, then that's fine. Miss Evelyn, and Sir Leon, please take care of this place for me』

Enigma said his goodbyes and hurriedly entered the portal, which pulled back his consciousness, hoping that he would wake up. Unfortunately, even after he was gone, the portal that he opened stayed connected with the God Realm, not showing any signs of shutting down.

"Do we...?" Evelyn, Nature Goddess, curiously inquired as she looked at everyone. But Nia shrugged and casually asked, "And how will we tell him that? You wanna go in too?"

"Not at all." Evelyn humbly replied without waiting for Nia's anger to fall on her as well. She then hurriedly left, followed by Leon, who found himself a perfect excuse.

"So, David... who's a hot milf?" She asked with a smile, cracking her knuckles and preparing to give him an earful.

"...."

It was funny how the roles switched quickly, from them being at each other's necks everyday, to him being at her leash. 'Wait, why am I on the leash? Oh, yeah, I lost the bet.'

Indeed, they were now a 4 star Empire in the flash, meaning that regardless of what, Nia had higher authority than him.

And Nia couldn't be more happier... as someone who liked to be dominant, this was the best gift Enigma could give her. Her love for him increased more and more.

Meanwhile

God Realm, Four Cardinal City

Enigma finally opened his eyes after so long, and the first thing that came into view was green. A vibrant and lively green that spread out everywhere around him.

And it covered everywhere he could see. Shading the soroundings in green as well, as if the world had turned green... for a moment, he thought he was still dreaming.

"Papa!!!" A cute, yet energetic cry of joy caught his attention as the teary eyed, small bunny girl, sniffled and sobbed. Her hands releasing a massive glow of green aura washing over him.

"...."

At least he wasn't dreaming. Anyway, he felt kind of bad for leaving her for such a long time. It must've been traumatizing for her to wake up but her father still asleep... even after so many days.

"Jade... dear, father is—" As Enigma was about to apologize to Jade, he was abruptly interrupted by a notification that made his now healthy complexion turn pale.

"Tiiiiiiiing!!!!"

"Your daughter has glimpsed the Mystery "Vital Health and Jade Reincarnation" and has recieved the favor of two Concepts, Reincarnation and Health"

"Due to the hereditary nature of your Bloodline, you have recieved the "Health" and "Reincarnation" True Laws"

"You have recieved the Divine++ Skills "Flawless Healing" and "Samsara All-Father""

"You have recieved the Main Divinity "Father of Primordial Life and Jade Reincarnation". Congratulations on nurturing a strong daughter, and congratulations on your parents for nurturing a broken son"

"...."

Enigma was quite surprised. Not because he also recieved the rewards for glimpsing a mystery she learned, but because Jade was still three yirs old.

As for this little fuss, he knew that the Mystique Bloodline worked this way. The father inherits what the son attains, which was also why there was no such thing as overthrowing the older generation to the Mystiques.

He also didn't believe that his mother and father killed his grandfather. Because his grandfather should have all the Laws, Mysteries and other attainments his father had.

His grandfather was also the most talented among the second batch of the first generation. So much so that, he devoured his own father, their Ancestor, a being above all True Gods.

Then used the Providence to breakthrough to a realm beyond comprehension, while also creating the Mystique Bloodline in order to Breakthrough that said realm to the realms of Strength beyond said realm.
