Middle RealmMiddle Empire, Slump Area Within the newly established Orphanage, a beautiful girl in her teens lay down on her bed as she looked up at the ceiling. It's been six months, and as a goddess, that's quite miniscule. Cheryl couldn't help but think back to her time ever since coming to this place, in six months time, she officially got a bunch of believers who pray to, and worship her. Thus her life was not that bad, her believers were naturally among the tens thousands, as they were humans, who were the most abundant in this Empire she was staying. But unfortunately, she could only accept one hundred as usual. Aside from that, she officially created her own professional squad, the six Nuns who manage the Orphanage, were actually grand master powerhouses. The newly Sage mother of this place was also an Epic Priestess. Things were going smoothly for her, with the children within the Orphanage being cared for and trained to become better people in the future. Many people in
Meanwhile, outside the room... Tiara, the young Nun that was recently chosen amongst many, moved through the corridor towards the dining room. Her steps were steady and unhurried, as she continued to walk through the Orphanage. It was an Orphanage, but it was quite large, and resembled a castle of sorts. Tiara then arrived within the dining room, and within she was met with a group of other girls almost around her age. Some were young, some were older. But all were teenage girls as it could be seen. "Sisters, I am back." Tiara greeted as she also sat down, and was served with a bowl of soup by one of them, who seemed older than her. "Welcome back, what did she say?" The one who served her, inquired as she sat down, her tone gentle and respectful. Even though she looked older than the one she was talking about. Her name was Beatrice. The oldest amongst them, and within thus sisterhood, she was like the mother of the group. She watched over, and took care if everyone here. The si
"How do you guys see the lady as?" She asked, staring at the food before herself. She liked Cheryl, and she knew everyone else did. But they might have different opinions in regards to her. "She is likeable, that is for sure. And very adorable. I love how she easily accepted everyone, and even thought of buying this entire orphanage." Beatrice said moments later. She then added, "I mean, a literal God choosing to adopt an entire ophanage then staying there with them. Such a thing never happens, and now that it did... I'm still not used to it." She concluded. Hilda also added at this moment, and everyone seemed to know what she would say. "The more reason why we should not trust this woman. Why would a god wanna associate themselves with a bunch of hippies like us? I mean, think, think y'all." She said, with utmost sterness to her tone. Rose sighed and responded first, "There are gods of ophans out there, gods of poverty, gods of the slums. Why is it strange seeing one actually doi
"...Haah~ I'm sorry, I only believe in one god." Pouting, Noelle avoided the little lass' eyes and softly admitted. She was admitting defeat not only because she was submitting... But because she wanted the so called goddess' help, IF, she truly was a goddess. Even if she was not, she was definitely strong to be this arrogant and rude. "Grrr... Am not telling you to pray to me dumbass, oops, there's a swamp ahead, let's turn left... All I was saying was, believe in me and I'll be able to give you the power to kill this thing." Realising that Noelle was not fighting back, the lass warned her then softly explained herself. Noelle didn't hesitate to change directions and follow the little lass without a second thought. Life and death experience can make people best friends or worst enemies, it seems to be the former between these two. "...How so? And it's I am." She quietly asked as she couldn't help but look back. The trees were getting thinner and the space was enlarging, that snake
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
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
