Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

229 Year of Dancing Dragons XI: An Epilogue

"Would you look at that, I have a personal encyclopedia." But he also would not let such an opportunity off the hook. Teasing the system was the best after all.

"You can just tell me to stop if you don't want to... it's not not hard"

"...My apologies." He chuckled. Unfortunately, the system was not to be trufoed with. At the end of the day, teasing Allen was way much better. Yeah.

"...."

The system ignored him completely, and decided to appraise the Runes more. They were Unique aspects after all. Especially as they were the very opposite of Reiki in nature.

Meaning that they had the potential to reach the very limits of Existence. Not even Supreme Beings would be able to look down on anyone with such power.

Each one give out a terrifying presence that even Gods feared. According to the system, this was something it dubbed, "Anti-God Runic Codes" and "Divine God Runic Codes", something specifically for him.

Either than that, nothing much changed. He only recieved one Skill and three titles, nothing more. He was quite glad about that, at least, he could get some rest.

"Lord En, are you there?" But then, a soft voice called out from outside, sounding sweet and soothing, yet also reserved. Enigma knew who it was and affirmed lightly, "Hm."

Hearing his affirmation, the person outside seemed glad and hurriedly inquired, "Can I... come in?" She asked softly, full of expectations with her words.

"Sure." He responded without much thought. He was fully clothed and not in an indecent situation, so why not?

"Thank you... I'm coming in. Pardon my intrusion." She spoke whilst gently pushing the door open, before closing it gently once again. She was of half orienten origin back at her home world.

She then enthusiastically turned around and skipped towards him joyfully. Enigma couldn't help but look her up and down, and truly, she was decent.

As for True God women, she was far from comparable to them. But in Infinite Realm terms, she was a beauty through and through. Even comparable to some Outer Goddesses.

"Bella, long time no see." Enigma ignored her cheerful appearance and maid outfit as he greeted her. Asking would be bad for his health, as he could already guess her response.

The young lady pouted but did not try to do anything about it. She was here to work, not to try and seduce an already married man... at least, not yet, not now~

"Lord En, I've been keeping watch here since thirteen months ago. Lord Al and Lord Su told me to serve you if you needed anything after waking up." She said enthusiastically.

Her tone was enthusiastic and she seemed a bit hyper today. Though her eyes were still a bit dull and her smile was barely noticeable at all. But her joy was more than apparent.

Enigma smiled and patted her head, who was kneeling down respectfully before him. She did not fight his advances or change any expressions as she allowed him to pat her head.

"Thanks, I'll find a time to properly thank you with something special." He said with a smile, but his words were met with silence.

"...You should really, focus on your words more. At least, think every word through first"

He opted to ignore the system and looked carefully at her. He realized that she was blushing deeply and lost in thought. But he saw nothing wrong with his wording.

He immediately acted as if he didn't see nor say anything, and decided to change the topic. "Yes, my brothers, how are my brothers doing? It's been a year, what ruckus have they caused?"

Bella seemed to be pulled out of her thoughts and hurriedly responded without looking at him, "Lâ€"Lord Al has been sent to deal with the Ancient Forest Goddess who has Awakened and seems to be causing trouble at the east. It's been a while now.

"Lord Su has taken young miss Xue, the third princess and fouth prince for training at the Grand Mountains up north. Everything... is fine so far. They did not cause much, if any not aby ruckus at all."

She concluded at that, still not daring to look at him directly in the eyes. Enigma didn't mind as it was better that way. Yup, he preferred it that way, afraid she might fall for him more.

Bella then suddenly thought of something and looked behind him. Her expression was confused and strange as she questioned without even realizing it.

"Is that... your son?"

"...."

"...."

Enigma had thought that he was seeing things and ignored the thing sitting behind him on the bed. A small baby boy. Like a small replicated version of peak charm Enigma.

The boy had long black hair, a pair of golden eyes and a pale complexion. Unlike the young man shrouded in gray mist, he looked more like Enigma with black hair.

But Enigma had western features, while the boy had eastern features instead. Thus, despite looking the same, they still differed in some areas, cancelling out the option of him being a clone.

'...He looks cute.' The Goddess of Discord and Abomination didn't know what to say and just commented that. Enigma ignored her as well. He had talent at ignoring people.

She had been silent for thirteen months, and now she finally spoke? He was unaware that she was still traumatized about a certain being. One that made an Ancient God seem like a mere child.

"...This is, little Jue." Enigma said after a long progress of nothing but silence. No way in Hell was he acknowledging the kid as his son. At least a clone or something.

"...Horrible naming sense"

'...Who knows, maybe it means something.' The Goddess of Abomination, who could now see the system messages, tried to find him a way out for him.

"Hah!! Within the Infinite Realms, even a random "Ptuu" might mean something special. Let alone an unknown word "Jue""

Unfortunately the system didn't give it to him. But Enigma still retorted towards it, 'And here I remember you claiming to be Omnipotent. So much from Omnipotence.'

"...."

The awkward Bella, who was dying by the silence, finally found her saving grace and hurriedly exclaimed, "So cuuuute!! C-Can I touch him?"

'Does he look untouchable to you?' Despite his internal retort, he smiled in response and pushed the baby-like orienten version of himself, "Go ahead, he definitely doesn't bite."

She hurriedly took the eight months looking baby into her arms and cradled him. The boy also didn't dislike her and showed boundless amount of emotions.

Such a perfect scene did not escape Enigma's eyes. But he still checked with his Template, to verify if another Offspring was introduced along the Offspring tab.

'Luckily, this kid is not my child.' He sighed in relief and began questioning the system to explain itself. An epiphany does not normally result into this... right?

And just like that, time passed once again, normally this time around, and the end of the third year since they came here was inching closer. Meaning that twenty-one years passed in the Middle Realm.

Twenty-five years since True Gods began their trials here. Which was an impressive achievement for those that were not as talented as those here.

And the thirtieth year was supposed to be the vacation event, but without a way home, everyone was curious what the [True Will] will bless them with at that time.

They were all looking forward to it. Unfortunately they were bound to wait for disappointment. But in exchange, a new factor had appeared, that would greatly boost the Stats of True Gods.

At the cost of Faith Units that is!!

'But really though, I've grown up. Already seventeen years old, and moving closer to becoming eighteen years old.' He thought to himself, looking up at the ceiling.

'Sure feels nice to be a True God alright. Would be nicer if all these crazy people and unknown identities were thrown at me though. I mean who knows... maybe I'm the destroyer of the future for all we know.' He joked to himself, but the system sighed.

"...I would appreciate if you don't jinx anything. Wbat if you really are the destroyer of the future. What am I supposed to do? Work harder?"

'...Well since you're a sissy so much, how about we just end the story here huh? Complete end this novel yall enjoying while I suffer.' Enigma retorted back as well.

"Maybe we should"

'We shall. Alright then. I guess this is goodbye.' Enigma pretended to scoff. But the system followed in his act, and also repeated his words.

"Then we shall. Goodbye"

'Bye.' Enigma's thoughts were then left in silence, until Enigma sighed out of the blue and commented. 'We... should get proper hobbies. This is embarrassing.'

"Agreed"

And thesystem agreed. But this little banter was just the beginning. More was to come. Especially as they grew into each other these past twenty five years together.
