Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

Think about it, if a person gave you a mission to protect his family, and does not give you a time-limit. Then he later dies, the rewards will be kept by True Will, and you will not recieve it until you protect his entire family till death.

But what if they have children, then create descendents, then they continue the Bloodline. You would've signed yourself for an eternal guardian-ship.

That is, if you truly need the rewards. One could just let them die if they are not desperate and move on to other missions.

"You owe me 1 Faith Essence"

The system suddenly added as if it forgot. Enigma bitterly sighed and questioned in exasperation, "Are you still angry at me? You can't be this petty."

"Whose being petty? Like I said, giving you information for free is not my function. Deal with it mate"

"Fine then, tell me where my new believers are?" Enigma accepted his fate and relented. Since he already owed it, he might as well just add a few and not waste time looking for the place.

He could sense them if they were his believers, unfortunately, they hadn't yet started believing in them as of yet. Thus, he decided to ask the system.

"Coordinate XXX;XXX South-East-East"

"That's 0.5 Essence now"

"The first two missions are rather easy for an SSS-rank mission. And this is my luck since they correspond with my other missions. But, what are those rewards?" Enigma ignored the system once again and followed its directions.

"Beats me..."

The system said casually, as if trying to block him from gaining information. But then, it thought of something and immediately started blurting out information.

"Obscene Demon God's Blood Droplets: The blood droplets of the Transcendental Demon God of Obscenity. It contains large Fragments of Divinity and Fragments of the "Obscene Law" that can later lead to comprehend Obscenity when enough Fragments are collected"

"Mother Tear's Soul Jewel: A jewel used by the Mother of Creation of this world, Embodiment of Great Terra, Mother of the Seven Realm Kings and the Ancient Goddess of Nature and Life, to store her soul during the "End of Times" of the Age of Old, in order to escape her death. It carries small amounts of Pre-existential properties, that can make one be aware of Pre-Existential beings and constructs to a certain extent, as well as those related to them"

"Demon God Soul Fragment: The Fragments of a Demon God's soul. Can be used on Lost Artifacts to create a Lost God Artifact, Artifacts that give their wielders an official God identity. This is a tiring and ancient process, be careful when trying it, for if not successful, the Demon God's Soul Fragment will devour your soul, and assimilate you like all previous blacksmiths"

"Reiki Essence Orb: An orb containing permanent Reiki, each orb adds 100% of Reiki permanently to a god's energy Reserves. This is a rare treasure, only found in the deepest parts of the World. Unfortunately, do you, or your believers need such a stupid thing? You can just disregard them"

"Divine Seed of Evolution: A highly required resource even by Cosmic Entities. This is a treasure from the Age of Old, a resource that can, with 100% accuracy, transform a Demigod into a God. Unfortunately, such Gods can only become subordinate gods of higher status Gods, unless you use more than one (five) on a single individual"

"Greater Divinity: Like your [???] Divinity, a Greater divinity is a divine title used by Transcendental and Cosmic Gods, associated with some of their Divine skills, laws and domain. Each Greater Divinity has its own exclusive effect, you should really check it out... But once more, do you need this thing?"

"Looking at everything it gave me, I almost, almost feel bad for demanding more." Enigma casually thought, but he truly meant it. He almost felt bad, but didn't really feel bad at all.

An SSS rank mission was nothing but suicide for the current him after all. He had every right to be a bit more demanding.

With another weary sigh, he opened up the details of the skill that the [Anti-God] Divinity gave him.

[Dei-Force: Passive effect, can convert your Reiki into a force of your own, that can permanently strip the source energy of any being. Each unit can be converted by 1×10²¹ units of Reiki. A power Inherited by your followers]

He immediately disregarded such a broken trait straight away. But then again, he was doing a suicide mission, so being over prepared wasn't a sin... maybe?

He would take it nonetheless. Plus, even with the missions, he still had a lot of time. For gods, Time was meaningless. Thus missions, activities or such time consuming sports would take longer for them to truly enjoy them.

Like fighting. Usually, a spar between mortals would end in less than half a day, but one between gods could go for days, weeks and even months.

One Reiki was Immeasurable after all, being equal to nigh-infinite amount of Mana units, which was also a bundle Infinite energy.

So, if Mana could make mortals fight, without Skills, for days on end, then one Reiki could do the same for gods, for years. In simple terms, most gods had a lot of free time.

And just as he had such a thought, Time continued flowing as normal as it could be, and his consciousness easily adjusted to the mood swings of Time.

He once again ignored everything, and sent his consciousness to the newly marked area that he was targeting all this while. But something felt off to the young man...

'I'm finally here. But... why does it already feel occupied?' Enigma thought as he looked down on the four settlements made next to each other, but at a minimum distance away.

~~~

Enigma still sat above the floating cloud he had created and looked down on the settlements. He had yet to realize that the cloud was nourishing itself with his aura, excess divine power and the effects of his true divinity.

And it was constantly evolving itself, turning the tiny Cosmic particles it was formed with to evolve along with itself, giving itself life and sentience.

Below him, there were four different settlements, with beings going up and down and enjoying themselves greatly, in each respected settlement.

On the north, was a settlement of humanoid beings. But unlike ordinary humans, they had overly beautiful appearances, be it male or women and their complexion was pinkish.

They had small horns on their foreheads and were lean and slim. Their bodies were covered in tattered robes, cloths or barely nothing at all. They also seemed malnourished and dehydrated.

On the west, there was another group of humanoid beings. But these ones had fiery red eyes, silver-white fangs and very pale complexions, almost similar to his.

They wore noble clothes and had it better compared to the rest. In fact, compared to the rest, they seemed like they were kings and queens. The other settlements also fearfully and 'respectfully' looked at them.

They were like the nobles around here, and he could guess why. But before that, he continued appraising the other two settlements that remained.

On the south, there were beings who were completely human. Their only different feature would be their beast-like characteristics.

They had long and sharp nails, probably good enough to act as swords. Sharp teeth enough to eat raw meet like soft candy, thick muscles filled with pure strength and a lot of hair on their bodies.

They had so much hair that, even the person with the shortest hair had it all the way to the area below his nape. And the hair was messy and haggled up.

It would probably be longer if it was trimmed well enough. Even the women were muscular fit and also hairy, but that did not decrease their charm one bit... None looked like a beast after all, just your typical uncivilized cavemen.

Anyway, on the east, there were beings who wore ancient robes that made them stand out within such a place of wondrous tribes of different natures.

They were delicate and didn't have that much muscles or tough stature. They looked 100% human, with no adds up at all. The only different matter would be the fact that they seemed like cultivators.

Enigma was surprised there were such people here in the God Realm, unless they were martial artists instead of cultivators, then he'd understand quite a bit.

Cultivators were a Legend here in Terra, as there was a Greater World dedicated to them alone. An entire Greater World of Eastern Origin... but then again, maybe it should not be that much of a surprise?

"I sense the presence of a god down there, as well as..." Enigma turned from looking at the western direction, the places of the beings that resembled, or were Vampires, where he sensed a God, and towards the eastern direction, where a small shrine was built.

It was too small, and seemed adorable at first sight. Something one would build just for fun, but made sure that the aesthetics were on the top, and looked pleasing.

'I'll deal with you later.' He once again averted his eyes and turned back to look at the western side. He then let out a wisp of his aura to alert the hiding God.

Then he waited for a while, waiting for the God to take the bait.

"Who dares show such disrespect to this God!! Know your place and scram!!!" A young man's voice, one that sounded soft and soothing to the ears vibrated in the air, throughout the whole place.

It was laced with the aide of a Lesser Divinity, that brought with it the ability to woo even weaker willed Gods. As for Deities and Mortals... they could forget about resisting.

Enigma smiled. As he thought, the Gods of this place were quite arrogant towards mortals. He didn't release his Divinity, such that he would appear like an ordinary Deity Lord.

He stood up on the cloud and held his hands behind his back as he slowly descended. His calm voice drifted out along his descent, "Forgive my intrusion good sir, but I believe this is my place."

"What did you just say?! You dare to raise your tongue against me?! Me?!? You vile mortal!!" The young man's melodious, albeit angry voice sounded out, along with the pressure of a god that spread out.

This was a genuine God after all, even without the aide of their Domains or boosts, they still had the pressure of entire Universes, not one or two, but a couple of them.

It was so powerful that, it pushed everyone down to their knees, some of the weaker ones directly fainted while a few unfortunately died, especially the young children.

"It's people like this that make smart people look crazy. Aiy~" Enigma shook his head with a sigh and thought to himself. He didn't plan to continue talking.

This was the place Herara gave to them, according to the system. Thus killing off this God should not be against his morals... not like he had any of such a thing.

'Are you sure this is it? Or you brought me here because you sensed her presence?' He decided to verify, before he wrongfully started a fight with an innocent God.

"It's the place, and it's not just a coincidence that she's here. She probably has a bit of relationship with Fate because of the relationship you two have, and deduced that you'd be here soon"

'I see.' He nodded and focused his attention back to the God. The so called God was a handsome young man with a lean and healthy Physique.

He had blonde short hair, reaching down to his nape, crimson red eyes, black lip gloss on his lips and a very pale complexion. He had blood swirling around his body like a small streams of a chattered map.

"You vile Insect, was it you who dared to talk back to this great one?! A mere Deity?" The young man roared at Enigma in anger, baring his fangs towards him without attacking.
