Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

Responding in kind, Lulu hurried away and appeared at the entrance of the Great Temple built in the Great Mountain. Yes, they still dared to live within the Great Mountain even when it was becoming more of a mystery.

Yes, in case it was forgotten, the Great Mountain was also Enigma's temple. Though only a small part of it, the said part was still enough to fit in 5 000 residents.

"Big sister, what's wrong?" Night appeared from the shadows and greeted Lulu, who seemed quite gloomy and dark faced. Lulu gazed at her younger sister and determination appeared in her eyes.

"Night, stay tight, big sister will be back." She really wanted to contact Enigma, but after the discussion that day, nobody was bold enough to, unless something dangerous came by.

As for this? She believed she was at least enough to hold them back for a minute or two. Or at most, she hoped they did not come here for an invasion or anything of sorts.

After all, Nature Goddess and Beast King aside, there should only be three more Powerful beings, one from the Nature Pantheon and two from the Beast Pantheon.

And what she knew as of now, the Beast King was currently not within this region. Meaning that, the three strangers could be demons or another invading race.

"Big sister, what do you—" Before Night could even finish her own question, Lulu had already flown off at unpredictable speed. Leaving her shocker and speechless.

"....."

Lulu was already gone within an instant, the speed of an an Imperial Greater Deity was just that fast. Faster than light even when they had no Skill enhancements!!

"...Ah." That was the only word that managed to come out of Night's mouth after a long period of silence. 'What got over her? Is she angry at us or something? Or is trouble coming? I should talk to Nuu about this... On seconds, Neon.'

She thought before sinking back into the shadows and vanishing out of sight once again. Coming and going within this area was as easy as pie for her.

As for Lulu, she flew hundreds of meters above ground at unpredictable speed. She was traveling at a speed of faster than a Higher Deity, which was around tens of thousands of miles per second.

Traveling at such a speed, she was able to cross over a distance of a million miles in less than two minutes. And here, she was going to meet the three invaders.

It was far enough from the villages.

"Whew... calm down Naylu, you have this under control. If they are genuine Deity Lords, then I might as well die a glorious death." She hyped herself up and landed elegantly onto the surface of a large lake.

For a lake, it spanned a circumference of hundreds of miles. It was even hard to tell what kind of sea creatures hid inside. Deities might be rare, but Deific Beasts were quite numerous within worlds.

Boom.

Boom.

Boom.

Three consecutive space shattering booms rang within the sky, sounding like a hyper sonic boom. That was the distinctive sound of breaking the sound barrier coming from close by.

The fact that the sound was close by, meant that the invaders were most likely already here a long time ago. And if they were here, than that clearly means that they are...

"Above me." Lulu looked up and frowned as three women floated hundreds of meters above her. 'Dark Elves? No, Nether Elves, how unlucky am I to meet a rival race?'

"A white elf? Oh, it's not a white elf but an Aether Elf?" Soquel tilted her head as she questioned herself. The question was also directed to her sisters who were with her.

"A Moon Elf to be precise. That's what they call themselves nowadays." Sion corrected Soquel bluntly without much hesitation.

"It doesn't matter which, she seems to be waiting for us. Is she here to stop us?" Sear frowned and asked herself like Soquel. Soquel and Sion looked at her briefly and ignored her.

How stupid could she be? They were invading upon someone else's property, wouldn't it be normal for the owner to stop them? That was literally common sense.

"Hi, up there, uhm, wouldn't it be nice for you guys to come down so we can talk?" Lulu transmitted her voice over and tried a peaceful approach. Before Soquel and Sion could respond, Sear was already ahead of them.

"Hi, down there, I think the view is nice up here, so speak your mind wherever you are, don't mind us. We can properly hear you." She genuinely did not mean any harm with her words, but they sure sounded arrogant and pretentious alright.

"...."

"...."

"Is... Is that so? Alright. May I know what your purpose it in coming here, to our humble abode?" Lulu couldn't help but twitch the corner of her eye, but luckily, she managed to hold in her annoyance.

Appearance wise, those ladies seemed three years older than her, so she was supposed to be respectful. That was how she grew up. And she was not a prideful person.

"Our purpose? We came here for a small village of white elves. Ah, you're one of them, right? Lead us there right now." Sear responded immediately without much thought.

"...."

"...."

Sion and Soquel could already picture a fight between these two lasses right now. And they decided that it was best to judge the strength of their future clan mate.

"For? Forgive my prudence, I'm just worried about my tribesmen and fellow citizens." Lulu kept her Divine power active as she questioned back. She was prepared for anything.

"...A visit?" Sear responded not sure of the answer herself. But Sion and Soquel looked at her in surprise each. They were shocked, 'She answered it carefully?'.

'This is unheard of.'

Sear was a person who spoke without much thought. And 99% out of her conversations, she'd get into trouble with the other party. They at least expected a fight or an argument.

But Sear surprisingly responded correctly, and the Moon Elf down there did not seem to have the useless pride of the other Moon Elves. So perhaps, this fight was just not Destined.

Within the temple of Enigma, inside the main room, a group of individuals sat within the room in silence, both sides facing each other with intense probing gazes.

On one side, was the beautiful and now regal Lulu, her grown up sisters, the father-daughter pair and a small Pixie. Their presence was far weaker than the other side, but nobody wanted to back down.

While the other side was composed of the majestic and extremely beautiful goddess Nia, her four eldest daughters and her three youngest children. In total, they were eight beings on this side, one more than the other side.

Both sides stared at each other warily, none breaking the status quo at this very moment. Especially Lulu and Nia, their gazes were intent on each other, one wary and unsure, and one playful.
