In other words, no matter how high or low one's mana was, to go to the next rank, one had to be able to carry a much greater load than before. She had to have twice as much mana as she has, to be able to breakthrough. Which was why, being born with high mana, will lead to having higher mana for the rest of your life, unless you're truly unfortunate. Though ranking up would be tough, in the short run it was disadvantageous, but in the long run, it was advantageous. Higher mana meant more god slaying artifacts one can use, and the longer they can use them too. Noelle couldn't be much happier with the increase in her strength. But Mimi's words made her hold her breathe for quiet a while in shock too... divine weapon, or rather, a god slaying artifact. Booom!! Mimi didn't hold back in creating a deific artifact. Well, it was crudely made, considering that she was only tempering an ordinary blade with 500 units of faith points (one million units of divine power). But even that was not
《...That's about enough learning, you've reached your daily quota》 "What daily quota?" Enigma retorted questioningly. But truthfully, he didnt even want to know the answer, as he knew why he was stopped. 《Apologies, I meant yearly quota》 The system changed its words, and Enigma had hunched that the more he defied the system, the higher the quota will rise. Thus he opted to just keep quiet. "You're really serious about this aren't you?" He sighed and decided to accept his fate. He was good at doing that anyway. 《....》 Enigma feigned reluctance as he agreed to the system's words. But before he could finish his own sentence, "...Fine, I was about to—" Tzzz A unique buzz occurred within his head, that disrupted his words, shutting up instantly. "Huh? What was that? A spiritual link? With the Pixies?" He paused then frowned as he wondered why would those guys contact him only three weeks after leaving him. They couldn't be in danger right? "Uhm, hello, who is this?" He decided to
The final product, I mean, the final form of En-one was that of a 10 centimeter tall Enigma, with a little bit of chubbiness. He had a small pair of feathered gray wings, two small humps on his temples and a tail that could barely be seen. It was a unique specie never before seen. 《What... exactly are you making?》 The system couldn't help but ask. At first, it thought he was making an angel, then a fallen angel, then a demon. But by the looks of it, it was niether of the above. "I have no idea." And it seems even he was unaware of what he was creating. This was all an experiment after all. And he just let nature, his imagination, take its course. 《....》 "...." "Da...da..?" En-one looked up at Enigma and softly asked. Enigma was not ready to accept another child, three were already enough. So he expressionlessly responded; "...No." 《....》 "...Well that's that, lets move on to the subsidiary skills I've recently learned." He smiled and tried to brush over the topic, but the sys
Middle RealmDesolate Region, Sumerian War God's Stronghold Everything was burning down in flames. The stronghold was burning so fiercely that, even the Sumerian water-type gods could not be able to put it out. Demon Fire. One boy stood on top of a hill, watching as everything burned down to the ground. He was late, very late. He sighed softly and handed the long weapon towards the lady beside him. "Xue'er, hold this for me, I want to go search for anyone alive down there. Especially uncle Xavier or uncle Fred." The boy said lightly and jumped down the hill without giving the other person time to respond. He easily crossed the one kilometer distance with just a leap. Appearing within the flames in an instant. The flames then swallowed him and obscured his presence away from the one lady and ten monkeys behind her. "Godfather..." She couldn't help but sigh when she saw her god once again do something reckless. Her name was Su Xue, a name bestowed by her god, Su Han. She and the h
"Com'on dude, it's only a one night stand." The man standing besides Xavier spoke, his tone jovial and free of worries. Unfortunately, his words were a bit too... "I don't swing that way, give me a break." Xavier, spoke even though he did not want to, nor know what what say. Everything was just following the same process as before, but with his consciousness from the future hidden within. "It's only today. We have been fighting for days on end, and as a commander, you aren't really planning on dying a virgin are you? I mean look, who would respect you? "Picture this then... would you, let us say you okay, would you, respect a man–— no, listen to a man who tells you to go to war, but aren't courageous enough to pop his cherry?" The man besides him, who seemed to be of the same age as Xavier, appearance wise, spoke with an enticing tone. "....." Xavier was left speechless. Logically, that should not make sense. Not at all. But if you were a commander, and your subordinates could do
A much louder explosion kicked off, as following that, was something so vast, it resembled a small sun appearing within the sky. And accompanying it was immense demonic energy. "DEMONS?! F*CK!!" The man's voice rang out within the explosion of immense flames and demonic power, and along with his words, the fire from the small sun spread out to protect the whole city. But because of that, the man was left bare to tackle the immense demonic power that could seemingly devour even the whole world. "FREDRICK!!!" Xavier paused and tried to run back to his best friend and brother, but right at that moment, the immense flames cloaking the whole city, turned from orange-yellow to pure red. "....!!!" And the thing that followed, was the flames falling towards the city and coveting everything in nothing but red. • • • • • Within the CloudsInter-dimensional Plane Xavier finally recovered the memories of that moment that he did not remember. Unfortunately, they only ended there, as he was
He still could no believe any of thus. Especially how he lost a friend and a god niece, while at the same time, became an angel, one that succeeded a terrifying monster. Happy? Sad? He dud not know at this point. Everything was too surreal. And he had a mission that he dud not know how how complete at all. "....." "....." ~~ Red. That was the color that defined the soroundinf city after everything that occurred moments ago. Be it the Demonic fire that spread everywhere and was devouring the land as we speak, or the blood that flow along the pavements like crimson rivers. Be it both, they each painted the city in a color of red that was unique in its own right. Yet one thing that was felt by anyone alone, when they saw such a mess, was dread. Endless dread. Pure fear. Because tens of millions had died, in just a couple of minutes. Millions of beings, ranging from Saints, to the weaker commoners that could no even do anything to resist. Everyone was wiped out. But one man
"Xue'er, everyone, it's time for us to get stronger. Strong enough to avenge uncle Xavier and uncle Fredrick of the injustice delt to them." Su Han said to his fellow monkeys. "Raaa!!!" "Whu!! whu!! whu!!" "Ah!! Ah!! Ah!!" "Yes, Godfather~" And they all responded in excitement and anger, as they could feel the pain in the voice of their chief. Su Han smiled, genuinely at that, as his devilish charm increased. "Let's goooo!!!" And with that, he led his entire clan back towards the Desolate forest, to first conquer it, before planning on challenging demons. He was simple, yet not stupid after all. • • • • • Middle RealmGreen Continent, World Forest Lulu stood above a tall tree and looked down on the newly made structure of the village. Though it was called a village, it already had almost 7 000 residents inside. The structure was quite simple to be honest. The village was sandwiched by the cave up north and the Green River down south, but the space in between was still very
Sighing to himself, Enigma pulled the lower end of his pants at the ankles, up all the way to his knees and took off his shoes. Today, he was about to try out [All-Elementary Mastery], and yes, taking off his clothes was important. "Make sure to stay back okay?" He warned lightly and flew off to a nearby hill using the Divine Art, "Float". Followed by cloaking himself with a "God-Barrier Protection" and "Elemental Resistance". Without stopping, he used "Divine Empowerment", "Enhance" and "Sacrifice Empowerment" on both defense-type Divine Arts. He was not going crazy. In fact, even now, he still felt the intent of death whenever he thought of casting one spell. It was as if his body was warning him not to do it, even with all the measures he put through. "What's one death? I can at least come back since the first death is always free." He nodded as he raised his hand up, closed his eyes and mediated his breathing. He thought back to three months ago, That moment, when Queen Nia fi
"Map?" The Nether Queen looked at him in confusion. Never in her dreams did she think that a god like himself would get lost, 'Why not use the skies?' But then again, he was niether an elf nor a beastfolk. So maybe he was a god from another Region? As for how was it possible to cross Regions, when the world was heavily restricting them, she did not know. All she knew was that, within this whole boundless world, even a lesser deity might not be able to destroy a region. The influence of the world would not allow that. "Yes, of this region. Thank you in advance." Enigma did not want to explain himself, not because of embarrassment, but because he had no explaination to begin with. He hurriedly left and went to an open space outside the main building. The Nether Queen looked on as he left and chuckled to herself, 'What an adorable child. Unfortunately, you were born a few hundred years late.' "...." That day, everyone got learn of the new position of Enigma. The Patron God of the Ne
For the first time, he felt angry. But instead of changing his expression, he only smiled. He smiled even more as he read the words of the system, subconsciously releasing all of his aura. Let alone the Nether Elves, every being, be it living or non-living trembled for an instant, within the World Forest. They felt something, not physically, but on a deeper and more primal spiritual level. They felt it through their consciousness!! Through their souls!! Through their entire being!! But it was only for an instant, so insignificant to the point where it could be ignored. "I'll show you alright, I will do it, I swear. I'll reach the so-called Unreachable Realm, and encompass both my past and future, beginning and end, meaning and existence. And I'll unravel you inside out, even if I have to tear you apart, I'll absolutely, f*cken do it." What made him this angry, was not the system, but himself. He probably did this to himself, so, the one to blame was his past self and his child self
Moments later, when peace finally returned. Enigma sat within a room by himself. The confusion on his face was apparent, as his dazed eyes stared straight at the empty screen projected before him. [Innate Adaptation - ????] Yes, this was his supposed physique, and even the system failed to properly discern what it was like. But according to it, it seemed to be able to change his body to adapt to any of his circumstances. For example, what happened not long ago, when he was asked if he wanted to adapt into a Nether Elf. Of course, his body would not change at all, but he would have all the racial traits of Nether Elves, their tastes, likes and and their weaknesses. Most of the time, those things come as skills. Especially if your race is of a higher grade. Nether Elves being god-like, then there was a chance of him gaining a unique skill. And the other Nether Elves would also see him as one of their own. In other words, his body would've adapted to being a Nether Elf inside-out. B
As for the three light arrows, they each flew towards Enigma at the speed of light. But he fluently deflected them all simply, using his pincer-like bones, as if he knew where they would strike beforehand. "What?" Sear, the one who fired the arrows was caught off guard and blinked her eyes in surprise for her sneak attack was easily dodged. Again. The timing was not perfect, but it was not sloppy either. "Hmm~" The queen smiled lightly as she saw the purple eyes Enigma had, from the red ones. It had to be said, that Enigma was handicapped but still easily played two of her Deities. And the fact that he had to god eyes, was a boost. His talent and potential was clearly above the average. "I guess it's my turn." Enigma's beautiful smile, one that he was yet to be aware of, bloomed brightly as he lightly kicked the floor using his pincer-like bones. The force was light and almost nonexistent, but he immediately appeared tens of meters away in less than a microsecond, immediately appe
At the same time, Enigma's senses kicked in, as he head two arrows piecing through the wind at light speed, each directed at his head and heart respectively. 'Really...?' Enigma was in disbelief at how everyone coordinated with each other. But they were from the same clan, and been together for ages, so maybe it made sense. As he accepted that, he ignored the incoming arrows, as he just stepped on the broad sword, that was still within the crater with his left leg, and used it to push his right leg off the ground. With that gathered momentum and strength within his right leg, he sent a fast kick towards the neck of the lass that had been swinging her sword at him. And with her slow reaction, she was struck, and along with that, Enigma was also struck by one of the arrows on the waist, as the other brushed past his cheeks due to his changed posture. Meanwhile, his powerful kick forcefully sent the lass flying towards the thrones at vast speed, crashing onto one of the thrones, and
Middle Realm, West CardinalGreen Continent, World Forest Region Meanwhile, as everyone had the time of their lives, enjoying the thrill of danger, reuniting with their comrades, bonding with their new friends or just enjoying peaceful lives with their women. Enigma was not having it any better. In fact, as things seem, he was about to have his very first major battle ever since he came here to this place. And his chances... We're not optimistic. "You really are strong." The nether elven queen crossed one leg over the other and smiled in response to his aura. Unlike everyone here, she could tell that Enigma was strong. Her pure black aura spreading out, while Enigma's auspicious aura also spread out. It was both Nether and Aether were challenging each other for dominance. As for the Nether Queen, she was a gorgeous beauty like any of the other Deities. And since she was a rare Nether Elf, her beauty was even more exotic than Lulu's and her sisters. Her complexion was a bit tanne
While if Athena had the same starting point but different population and number of Mythical would be like, 24 + 500% × 17 (more than a million Deities) × 10 (world population/ten billion+) = 24,5 units of faith power per month. The difference is more than three times. This was what Athena and Louise were aiming for. Plus the bonus of adding more members, they might recieve at least 30 units per month. Then the ×7 to faith recieved monthly from the twin sisters, it being ×14 for both sister. That was almost 500 faith units per month for all fove, or 100 individually. Their ambition was apparent. While Mimi wasn't as ambitious. She would be fine as long as she got over a million believers. "Well, you wanted to go home right? I bet it's to meet that god of yours, isn't it? Is he really that charming?" In the end, she deemed Noelle's worries mortal feelings and forgot about them. Instead, she couldn't help but tease the young elf just to relieve her boredom. "Sh-Shut up!!! The lord is
Hell Realm, OutskirtsThe Sixty-eighth Red Region A gaint dragon lay below a cliff, sunbathing while being submerged in a pool of burning sulphur. It's size alone was hundred of meters tall and kilometers long, a titanic dragon in the flash. And tens of thousands of humanoid demons with scales covering their ashy bodies, 'happily' scrubbed the body of the dragon. They did it so happily and willingly, that one wouldn't believe that they were forced into it. And in between the brows of the giant dragon, an elven young ranger lay on top of its head and also sunbathe under the burning sun, or the burning stars acting as suns of Hell. Her hair was now long and unkempt, but that did not decrease her charm. Her body was also the same, her breasts and curves did not grow any larger, but her face was more cuter. "Hey, Mimi." The young elf, Noelle opened her emerald eyes as she looked up at the sky fearlessly. "When do you think we'll be able to go home?" "Don't ask me, how would I know th
