Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

"Don't sugarcoat it, old man." She said as she sat down with a sigh. Her actions were definitely that of an elderly person alright. But she acted quite... peculiar. Allen thought.

"No, I meant it. At least, you look stunning for someone your age... And old man? I'm relatively young, you know." Allen honestly laid out his thoughts, receiving hateful glares from both Gadanari and Sraet.

"By the way, why were you useless throughout the whole fight? For someone who was able to beat me up to a pulp, you should've been able to win against her.

"Ancient Goddess against Ancient Goddess, that battle should have been probable. Not the one sided beat down we almost had."

He thought after a moment of resting, looking at her in curiosity. He also didn't know why he protected her, his body moved by Instinct, and he went along with it.

"...Me and her go way back. Like the little Radiant and Gloom kings, who are polar opposites, we are two sides of the same coin." She answered after a bit of hesitation.

She was unreasonable before, yet he still took her away with him. Plus, she felt like this kid was too promising and closely resembled someone she dearly loved.

As for the beating she gave him for four months, she forgot about it. So she continued, "We both have the same powers, but I'm more of a Faux and she's an Original."

"What's the difference?" Allen thought out loud as he got down and sat before her, a few meters away from her, still weary of her mood swings.

"Gods are distinctive due to their "Domains". Unlike Deities who borrow from the laws, gods directly use the laws to forge a domain of their own. A God of Fire has access to the essence of Fire itself."

"Origins refine the area complimentary to their Law, making it their domain. Like Tear, she refined the whole God Realm's aspect of nature, becoming a terrifying being of nature."

"Thus after Refining that aspect, it will then gain strength through them. Meaning that if she so wished, she could weaken nature or strengthen it. Nature was her toy play with."

"But us Faux are different. Instead of turning refined areas into out toys, we refine them into our weapons. Meaning that without them, we are useless. While origins are still useful even without theirs."

"Like how a soldier is weak without his sword in war, compared to a general, who is still useful even without a sword. Despite them being beings made out of the same composition (same race)."

She ended there and looked at him, who was looking down in shock. "Damn, you guys got it rough it seems. So after refining the component, at Transcendental Realm, you Transcend it?"

"Yes, and forget about that. I like you, I see you have great talents, come here, let me help you gain more skills to stop this situation. Come, come to aunty." She smiled mischievously and waved at him.

'...Dude, was this how you felt as well when you lived with that dark elf milf?' Allen thought as Enigma flashed through his mind. He was once told about how he got forced into being a Nether Elf's nephew.

But he didn't struggle nor did he succumb, and time trickled by.

Two months flashed once again, and there was still no sign of Tear, which surprised them, but that didn't stop them from continuing with their training.

Allen was getting stronger as he received the inheritance of Sraet, which was enough to shock even he, someone who was a True God. Perhaps this was his lucky encounter.

But most importantly, why did he feel like these Abilities suited him more than it did for her?

Let's reverse time a bit.

Two months ago, when Enigma left prince Reynolds, he went back to his own courtyard and entered the house.

Bella happily recieved him with joy, while little Jue scoffed at him. Enigma ignored the little boy and greeted Bella back, he then left and went to his room.

After entering the room, he sat down cross legged and looked at his Template. He was about to fight Ancient Gods, he had to be prepared at all costs.

Thus more fusions...

But before that, Enigma had something he was curious about. "Hey, is it possible for me to arrange the slots I have between the different Skill grades?"

He wondered, as he felt like (5) was not enough for the Divine Skill Tree Qoutation, while 125 seemed to be a lot for his Unique Skill Qoutation.

"It is not entirely impossible"

"Oh?" Intrigued, he urged the system to continue explaining, and it did not disappoint him at all.

"Five Unique Skill Qoutation can give you a single Unique Skill Tree Qoutation or, as well as a Divine Skill Qoutation"

"Then 25 Unique Skill Qoutation, or five Unique Skill Tree/Divine Skill Qoutations can give you a single Divine Skill Tree Qoutation"

"Ah, I see..." Enigma nodded to himself, as he instantly went through the calculations and realized that; 'I could at least double the Divine Skill Tree Qoutations with this.' He thought.

All he had to do was take out a hundred Unique Skill Qoutations, and convert them to Divine Skill Tree Qoutations, which was four.

Then he removed five more Qoutations from the Divine Skill Qoutations, and converted them to a single Divine Skill Tree Qoutation. Thus, his Skill Template became something like this;

Unique Skills (67/25)

Unique Skill Trees (7/25)

Divine Skills (33/20)

Divine Skill Trees (3/10)

Of course it had to be said, that as long as the number of Skills he had, surpassed the number of the Qoutation, he would not even be able to use a single Skill from that grade.

Meaning unless he did something about it, he would not be able to use his Unique Skills, as for the Divine Skills... they were already a lost case a long time ago.

"You have chosen the following Unique Skills for Fusions, "Thunder Conception" and "Wind Conception""

But the boy didn't care much. He went on with his experimentations, as he wanted to solve this current problem for now. From this day onwards, every Skill received will have to undergo analysis.

And there were only three destinations for those Skills, Assimilation, Evolution or Destruction. Either than that, nothing more.

And for that, he had to have a foundation that was stable enough. Of course, stable for him, and not for anyone. Whether he destroys a useful looking skill, or keeps it, it's all up to him.

As well as Fate....

"You have birthed the Unique+ Skill, "Storm Conception""

"Storm Conception (UNIQUE+) :- Become the very concept of Storms, and unleash all its power, elements and traits. In this state, you become Unique and Unpredictabily, as unless someone has a higher Mastery of Lightning, Wind or Storms beyond Master Level Laws, they can never understand your power or defend against it"

"Impeessive. This Skill bypassed the ordinary limitations of a Unique Skill, and gives me Defense against even High Gods. That is, as long as they use Storm related powers."

But even then, it would still be hard for even them to defend against his Storms, let alone Major and Minor Gods. This Skill was a keepsake, and he already knew what to fuse it with for the most optimum Skill.

He then moved on.

"You have chosen the following Unique Skills for Fusion, "Prescience", "Destiny Perception", "Temporal Awareness" and "Cosmic Awareness""

"You have birthed the Unique Skill Tree "Cosmic Destiny Guider""

"Cosmic Destiny Guider (UNIQUE) :- A Unique Being capable of viewing the Destiny of all those Cosmologically. Through Destiny, you can gather information about the targets, their past, their present, their future, or any other information you so desire. Once you become a Higher Being, you will be able to see through the Destinies of even Realities and those beyond. Has the following Unique Skills, "Prescience", "Destiny Scan", "Cosmic Influence", "Fate's Dictator" and "Destiny Warping""

A powerful Skill that even surpassed the previously mentioned [Storm Conception] Unique Skill. This one being so amazing, it could read the Destinies of even Void Constructs like Cosmos.

And this was when he was already this weak, at a realm equivalent to a Deity Lord. 'No way in their dreams would an ordinary Deity King, let alone Deity Lord be able to do this.' He thought.

Not even with Unique or Unique+ Skills would a Deity King do something as grand as this. Most probably only if a Demigod himself had a Unique+ Skill could they try.

Yes, and that was barely trying.

While he, himself, was doing so at a realm of power three whole major realms lower than a Demigod. He was doing something only a Minor God or above was capable of doing...

And the reason, was definitely because Skill Trees seemed to be unique in their own rights, and that Enigma was the [Master of Fate], combining them together... He did it.

"Well... I was an irregular to begin with. I was always abnormal." He thought out loud, adding base to his illogical actions.

"You have chosen the following Unique Skills for Fusion, "Power Modification", "Power Creation", "Power Immunity", "Reality Power", "Power Nullification" and "Anti-Power""

"You have birthed the Divine Skill Tree "Reality's Lord of Power""

"Reality's Lord of Power (DIVINE) :- Gain the powers of Reality, and manipulate them to your liking. All the Sixteen Powers of Reality can be used to your liking, thus giving you absolute grasp over the people relying on these powers through your Absolute Authority over them. Has the following Divine Skills "Power Jurisdiction", "Reality Authority" and "Ancient Demiurge""

Another power he did not know much about, or understand completely. He was not sure what the "Powers of Reality" could be, and how Grand they were.

Thus he was not sure how amazing it was. But just its Sub-Divine Skills were quite noteworthy. The first gave him authority over the powers of Reality, which he was still not sure off.

But the second directly gave him power over his own perception of Reality. The current him, as a Genuine True God, a Deity Lord equivalent, could only view Worlds as their Realities.

Thus it was not that great, but what if he became an Ancient God? No, let alone Ancient Gods, if he became a Main God, he could have absolute authority of entire Multiverses.

Multiverses.

That was a terrifying Construct to think off. And best of all, this Authority affected even Gods. Meaning even if he ruled over a world, as long as he denied the existence of Gods within... they can never exist.

They could also not destroy the world, because the world was beyond the existence of gods, thus gods were illusory. How can a mere illusion or nonexistent power destroy something real?

'...Impossible.' He responded to his own inquiry.

The last Skill also gave him powers to create his own realities, according to his perception. In other words, he could create worlds... unfortunately, as a Divine Skill Tree, he could not use it as of yet.

Thus, moving on... but as he was about to continue, something he did not expect occurred... Something that he was not at all against.

"Note: The "Master of Manipulations" Skill Tree has absorbed the following Unique Skills "Reiatsu Manipulation", "Event Sequence Manipulation", "Consequence Manipulation", "Apocalypse Manipulation", "Existence Manipulation" and "Astral Manipulation""

"Note: The Unique+ Skill Tree "Master of Manipulations" has evolved into a Divine+ Skill Tree "God of Manipulations""

"Oho?" Enigma viewed the definition of the new Skill, and realized that everything was the same. Everything except a few minor changes... well, they were not minor at all.

First, he could now manipulate anything at the level of even Gods. He could even manipulate Gods themselves. And for those Manipulations that were involved into creating this Skill Tree...

He could manipulate them to the level of even Cosmic and Supreme Gods. Thus, by the time he becomes a Demigod equivalent, he could even manipulate the Apocalypses or Existence of Supreme Gods.

That... was too fucking domineering.

"...And i doubt it's that simple. What are Supreme Gods to behin with? Yeah, nigh-omnipotent fellas." He debunked his thoughts.
