Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

Dui also stood up and humbly lowered his head alongside her. They seemed so sincere that, one would doubt they were truly Transcendental gods that ruled Ultimate Laws of the realm.

"Please please, raise your heads, aren't you supposed to be Transcendental gods?" Enigma was stumped by their behavior. It all began yesterday when he had a talk with them through the Illusion caused by his Skills.

They were unexpectedly respectful for beings their level. At first, he thought they were scheming, but that didn't seem to be the case at all... they were really genuinely respectful.

"Impossible, we can never be so disrespectful before the reincarnation of the master of Fate himself. An entity of pure mystery." Neonate said strongly, without hesitation at all.

"Hm!!" Dui finally let out his first word, which quite surprised Enigma by a lot. This showed how much belief they had on that statement... even though he knew they probably never met the so-called Master of Fate.

Dui's tone was also quite heavy yet harmonious, which made it soothing to the ears though. He could literally charm multiple women out there, with his voice alone.

"I'm not... okay, fine, how are you so sure I am the reincarnation of that person?" Enigma skeptically inquired with a frown, having a sense of deja vu.

He once asked someone such a question, and things... were getting a bit out of hand, 'I can't really be what Abby said I am right? I mean, my status as an Ancient Origin was a lie!!'

"You definitely are him!!" Neonate said strongly, Dui once again nodded his head with might. Neonate then calmed down and added, "According to the Template of Fate, Fate will not bow down to anyone but its master."

Enigma still found it hard to believe. After all, as true gods, they could breech the rules of many Constructs. So whose to say that he didn't break any of that so called Master of Fate's rules?

"Plus, even if you're not him, as the God of Fate of this era, you are bound to become the Embodiment of Neutrality, along with Karma, Time, War and Fortune, so on and so on." She added.

"Hm? Why do you think so? And Fortune is neutral?" Enigma asked in surprise. He wasn't omniscient, and even if he was nigh-omniscient, it didn't include all knowledge in the world.

"Fate is a neutral component, since it affects all lives, no, it affects even worlds and galaxies. Just like Time and Karma, Fortune as well, has always been neutral since it involved both good and bad fortune." She said, as if flaunting her knowledge.

She then added after a moment of silence, "Time affects everyone and everything, as it determines progress of existence itself. Fate is the deciding factor that creates a platform for Time to do its work."

"Everything that happens, was all written by Fate. Meaning that Time progresses along the routes of Fate, be it past, present or future. Without Fate, Time will reach a dead point, where there will be no direction at all."

"Past, present and future will mingle with each other. People will grow old today and young tomorrow, plants will die yesterday and sprout leaves today. But Fate also relies on time as well."

She stopped to catch her breathe once again, and giving Enigma the chance to digest the information. "Without Time, people will never reach their Destined points in life written by Fate. Meaning that every action a person does, will determine their Fate."

"That's... new to me." Enigma nodded his head in understanding. He left like he got a bit closer to Fate and Destiny after hearing this. Which brought out the question, was he close to Allen, whom represented Time because of this?

"So, what about the remaining three?" He did not dwell much on that question, and instead moved on. Doing so, would only burden him with more theories to verify.

"They all have connections to one another. Fortune or Misfortune waits for a person at the end of their Destiny, decided by the Karma they had since birth till date, which was all written down by Fate, which Time will take you too." She said with pride, as if expecting a pat on her head or to be praised somehow.

"...Thats amazing, you're really knowledgeable. As expected of a dragoness." Enigma said, but he didn't pat her head. Obedient or not, she was still a Transcendental Goddess.

"Thank you for your praise!!!" She enthusiastically said with joy, her tail wagging side to side in excitement, which he did his best to ignore. But Jade didn't. She watched with a starlight glow of intrigue within her eyes.

"But, what about War?" Enigma ignored her blatant joy and inquired. He was curious how War had anything to do with the previously mentioned above.

"...I'm not sure either." She responded after a moment of hesitation, her head drooping down in sadness. War was not the only one, as there were more she was unaware of.

"It's fine." He smiled at her. At the end of the day, she was not omniscient as well. Anyway, to the main topic of the day, "So, what if I am what, or who you say I am. Let's say I am then."

"What does that have to do with you guys being here? Do you need my help?" He asked, afraid that they might forget why the came here in the first place, and choose to stay.

Both of them exchanged glances and then nodded with stern expressions. Neonate cleared her throat and seriously said, "In that case, we would like to take refugee—"

"I take back what I said, I am not who you think I am." Enigma cut her off with an expressionless face, devoid of any joy or anger, just plain nothingness. Extreme pokerness.

Don't joke around, two Perfected Transcendental gods were seeking refuge from him, a mere Rank 4 Genuine True God, the equivalent of a Deity Lord. What could he do?

"Ah?" Neonate was caught off guard, even Dui looked up at Enigma in shock, not expecting him to change sides so quickly.

"No no no!! Wait, you misunderstand us." Neonate hurriedly stood up and tried to explain herself. She understood why Enigma immediately rejected them, and it made her even more happy.

"Misunderstand? What misunderstanding? And why do you seem so happy about it?" Enigma was doubting these God's mentality now. Maybe he should kick them out. Perhaps he should.

"We are Devout believers of Neutrality. We promise not to bring any trouble for you, in fact, I swear that we will obey your orders as long as they are not to join either of the factions of other gods... unless you join them too." She said.

Enigma still found it hard to believe that they'd go that far. Neonate could see that and frowned, "Sir, please believe us. We will even bring our children, our people, and choose to stay here with your people."

"Fine fine fine, I get it. I'm not really sure though, I have to talk to my brothers about this." Enigma said, finding an excuse for himself. But on second thoughts, the idea wasn't bad, "You know what, you guys should do that."

"Hm?" Neonate was about to sit down with her drooped head, but after hearing his words, she looked up in shock, "You mean...!!?"

"Yes yes, you can prepare to bring your people here. As long as you guys won't bring me, or my own people any trouble, you can stay for however long you desire." He added.

"We promise!! We swear!!" Neonate enthusiastically said, then turned to her companion Dui, "Hurry hurry, go and take everyone. No, I'll go, since I'm more proficient in the Space Law."

She was the Transcendental Goddess of Space, the one with the highest authority of Space within Terra itself, excluding a few Supreme Divinities. She was more fluent for such a job.

Meanwhile, on Enigma's side, he was suddenly bombarded with a bunch of notifications that numbed his mind.

"You have accepted the Transcendental Goddess of Space. Her Destiny has changed. You have positively affected Fate of the world, and thus the World Will has rewarded you with a bit of Authority of Space through the effects of "Karmic Casualty" in your superior skill"

"You have gained the R9-Vast Space Law Fragment"

"You have accepted the Transcendental God of Trees and Animals. His Destiny has changed. You have positively affected Fate of the world, and thus the World Will has rewarded you with a bit of Authority of Nature through the effects of "Karmic Casualty" in your superior skill"

"You have gained the R9-Pure Nature Law Fragment"

He really didn't expect any of this would happen, in fact, he was against taking them in to begin with!! As for why did he change his mind? Because he wanted to try out the Pantheon Template, not because of this!!

Anyway, what's done is done. At least, he didn't directly recieve a Law, which came with its own Abilities. No way in hell would he stay calm after that... after all, he just got a few Abilities this morning by evolving an Extra Skill.

"Hm? Dui right? Go, make yourself at home." Enigma said as he realized that Dui, the Transcendental God of Trees and Animals was still respectfully standing before him.

"Hm." Dui nodded with a bow, then hurriedly left the place. Unfortunately, he was intercepted by Jade, who 'forcefully' took him to play with her instead. The little princess did as she pleased.

"Not a large change, I see, but, there are now  two extra Transcendental Gods. The Pantheon Bonus also increased." Enigma nodded and then closed the Template.

'...I guess things are moving too fast huh, I'm already having Transcendental Gods at my side, willing to follow after me. Unfortunately...' He sighed and looked up.

'If my misfortune is really coming, and should rival all my fortune, then... does it mean that it will be way above something a perfected Transcendental God could bare?'

He thought with a weary sigh.
