Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

Middle Realm

Eastern Seas, Middle of Nowhere.

'How long has it been?' Takashi opened his eyes for the nth time as he greeted the 365th day of coming to this world, and of being stranded in the ocean. Alone. With nobody in sight.

Right now, he was still tired down by the sea sepents from before. He had realised months ago, that these things might be deific beasts for them to tie him down for eight months straight.

But that problem was solvable. As for this one, there were only two outcomes. One, they either work together and bust a way out of this mess before being digested.

Or two, be shat out by this giant creature one of these coming days. A creature which was probably at the deific level as well. This outcome was not liked by him... not at all.

'Haah~' He sighed as he played with the acids of the giant fish that swallowed him, using his will alone,  by shaping it into multiple swords that danced around his being.

He had comprehended R3-Liquid State element of the water element just before being swallowed two months ago. He could easily control the three states of water.

And at this rate, instead of five years, he can probably attain R4 of his water element soon. Then maybe by a yir, he would have a peak elementary Law to his beck and call.

As for why he didn't use his R5-Divine Lightning element, the same reason as before, these sea snakes of a bastard were using him to nourish themselves even now. Can you believe it?

By now, these little guys have evolved. Their appearance had also changed a bit. From being small, thin and long white sea snakes, they now looked a bit more ferocious.

Their length had increased, from being three meters, they were now six meters long. Their slippery scales were now a bit harder and force resistant. He could actually feel their increase in strength.

Their faces now resembled those of dragons instead of ordinary snakes. Their eyes also glowed blue, releasing sparks of lightning from time to time even.

And for the nine of them to gang up on a small boy of 1,7 meters tall, wasn't it embarrassing? It wasn't, if their hunger was satisfied. Luckily, Takashi realised something this past year.

The bigger they got, the more energy each one absorbed, meaning the less the others got. A lot of fights had broken out between them more than once during this times.

And it was entertaining to watch.

But what he truthfully considered a blessing was how these guys looked up to him and even worshipped him, thus were considered as his believers. Maybe followers since their bodies were using his faith to evolve? Were they considered his children or descendents?

He deducted their potential to be around legendary for them to be able to tie down a god, and their strength should be around deific or half-deific.

With this, the amount of faith he recieved per month had also increased by a large margin. At most he earned around 350 faith points per month, adding up to 4200 within this year.

Compared to his peers, he knew he was lacking. Especially if they were lucky enough to not be sent to a place with humans as the major race. Because humans had the lowest grade, lowest league of strength, low belief (due to being being inherently chaotic in terms of sin and virtue).

Even if said humans were only praising that person would still earn... less than 600 faith points annually?

​ 'Pause, do I actually have it better despite only having only nineteen believers? The Heavens have not abondened me yet, hahahaha!!!'

Takashi couldn't help but laugh out loud, startling the bundle of snakes that pinned him down. He seemed crazy to these sea serpents that resembled dragons.

But he didn't seem to care at the moment, he was too happy. Perhaps, he was even the leading figure among his peers.

While doing nothing even.

Life was blissful for him~

Middle Realm, West Cardinal

Green Continent, Redwood Region

Allen sat down in a lovely, yet simple hut. He was done eating, drinking and resting. He didnt know for how long had he been walking or how much time had passed until today.

But after describing the place he descended at, to the beautiful ladies of this place, they looked at him with strange expressions. Definitely looking at a different breed than a god.

That was because, he had fallen at the Southern side of the Middle Realm, Middle South or South Cardinal, at the peripheral continent of the south, the Southern Continent.

Well don't look down on the word continent, because within one continent here, were at least thousands of regions within, regions comparable to worlds.

Each region have billions of living beings within, and land so vast, it spread throughout the area like a flattened planet.

The Southern Continent alone had almost a qaudrillion mortals. Within their regions, each with approximately five to fifteen billion mortals each. And he had fallen at the edge of such a place.

But if you're wondering where he was now? He was at the periphery of the Western side of the Middle Realm, Middle West or the West Cardinal, right at the Green Continent.

Even for the fastest of deities, crossing one region would take them at most over two minutes, approximately two minutes on average, while crossing continents would require three weeks at most.

For the fastest if deities, the fastest gods you could find. Not just any deity. As for crossing an entire Cardinal, that housed thousands of continents, even six centuries are not enough, including crossing the Endless Sea.

But he mysteriously found himself doing so, and even going beyond to cross Cardinals, not just one, but almost two Cardinals that have tens of thousands of Continents altogether within.

And in little less than a year, can you believe that? He found himself crossing the distance of almost a billion regions just to get here. And even he did not know how.

The structure of the Middle Realm was diamond shaped, each cardinal direction taking one potion of the land. As for the Central Middle, it was also diamond shaped, albeit smaller and located above the main land.

It was even viewed as a sacred ground by the mortals of the land below. That was because an ordinary person there was of an advanced race. The lowest race there were Noble humans, and the likes.

But that was for another day, as for now, Allen was impressed at his own might. No, he was impressed at the capabilities of his legs.

He then sighed as he picked up the clothes that were scattered everywhere within the room and began wearing them, one piece at a time, covering his perfectly chiseled physique.

"Leaving already?" A valiant, but feminine voice called out not far away from him while he was changing. A beauty rose up from the bed and slowly approached him.

Her beauty was normal, for a god that is, for mortals, she was breath-taking. She had red eyes and red hair, different from the other Amazon's who had black hair and black eyes.

And her figure was enough to ensnare even the attention of a god like Allen, who grew up sprounded by exotic beauties. Especially so, as her naked figure was left bare for all to appreciate.

"Leaving? And where would I go? To the ends of the Universe?" Allen finished wearing his clothes, turned around to look at her and asked. A playful smile on his face.

This person was Krishna, no matter how much he thought about it, her name rang a bell in his memories. Unfortunately he could not pin point which part of his memory.

Krishna was the leader of this small group of Amazons, as well as his savior. After appearing in this region, he was dehydrated and hungry, a group of amazons found him and brought him here. Gods also got tired, and when tired, get hungry, without divine power, they require normal food as well.

And now that he thought about, he became groggy and half aware of his soroundings the moment his hunger increased. Thus, he does no remember what happened throughout the journey here... at least, not clearly.

That out of the way, from then on, she fed him lots of food, gave him lots of water, gave him the rest his body needed and took her payment. Yes, she took advantage of him while he was at his weakest, not like he was complaining or anything.

"Where else? Wherever you came from, of course. Maybe the Heavenly Realm of you gods." She wobbly walked over towards him, a bit of grimace on her face. If she had known he was a god, she would've brought some other girls to help her instead.

"And you think I know where the hell that is?" Allen shrugged his shoulders with a bitter expression. He definitely had no idea where he came from, according to him, he just walked a few kilometers and the next moment...
