"You have gained the new Ultimate Divinities, "Eternal Evil", "Eternal Virtue", "Lord of Infinite Origins""
"Would you like to sacrifice the rewards of all your Main Missions from True Will to Manifest an Innate Constitution?"
"...."
Enigma was left speechless. The greater the strength he recieves, the greater the misfortune he will experience... Maybe, maybe a future him was really coming for him.
"...."
"...Yes." He didn't have a choice. If misfortune was really coming, he had to be prepared. Plus, he truly didn't like the blank space behind his Constitution tab.
It was a sore spot for him.
"You have manifested a Constitution. Due to your Bloodline, Physique and Providence, your manifested Constitution has evolved into "Omniversal Sovereign""
"Your Skills, Laws and Abilities have increased by one level. You have suddenly recieved more laws, which have been sacrificed. You obtained more "Skill Evolution: Divine" chances"

"Your new laws have reverted back into Fragment Laws, and back to nothing. Your skills have increased by one level, but none evolved into ???? Skills"
"...."
"Your stats have been enhanced. Your Providence is now comparable to that of a being one level your strength (Your talent now allows you to match up to beings six Realms above your own)"
"...."

"Your "Extrasensory Perception" and "World Will(Realm)" has fused into the Divine++ Skill "World Will(Greater World)""
"...Hey, that's going too far." Enigma cried out, but unfortunately, he was ignored once again, without being given a chance to complain at all.
"Your "Oneiricpotence" has fused with your "The Lord's Fantasy++", "Phobia-Initiated Counter" and "Unending Cycle" into the Divine++ Skill Tree "The Lord's Dream""

"...."
At this point, Enigma had long given up going against the system and trying to reason with it. He was only just annoyed and shocked as to why everything was taking such a path.
He had no problem with what the system was doing, but he felt like something was wrong. Especially so, since the system was not supposed to personally interfere with his life.
It said so itself!!
"The system is in the process of Evolution... Evolution progressing... Evolution complete. A new function has been unlocked, "The Lord's Paths""
"Three Paths have been manifested for the time being, and more can be accessed the more you Breakthrough your Realms"
"The Manifested Paths are currently empty, and can be refilled if a Divinity, Law and a Skill Tree with corresponding affinities are sacrificed. Each path is its own Outer Aspect, unaffected by the Rules of Reality, and being its own variation of you, yet still a part of "The Lord""
"Your Template has evolved. Your Providence is now that of an Initial Ascendency God despite being a Perfect True God"
"Please choose an initial Path as soon as possible"
"...."
"...Done?" He couldn't help but question in both exasperation and annoyance. Never in his life had he been this exasperated due to this unfathomable partner of his, the system.
"...."

Within The Monster Headquarters
The City of Damnation
Deep within the edges of the God Realm, on one of the corners of the Realm, a grand city stood tall within the unstable environment and held glory to the Damned.
This was the City of the Damn, as it's name suggests, a city where those who have fallen in life, the greatest thieves, the mass murderers, those given up by Fate... the lowest of low lives, have come to live.
And the founder of this city was the Origin God of Damnation, the direct son of the Transcendental God of Occultism, Diedrich, the current strongest monster God.
He was the forefather of the Eldritch Clan, along with his wife and three children, one of them being the one who founded this city, one of the twelve Grand Cities of the Empire.
Unlike most Transcendentals, his peers, Diedrich had quite a small family, but all of them were plenty powerful. The youngest son was already a Mid Origin God despite being only a thousand years old.
After all, even for Champions, it would take over 2 000 years to 400 years to attain 5% within their laws, and be considered Mid Origin Gods. Yet despite being a mid-grade Champion himself, he only took less than 1 000 years, instead of the already known 1 200 years.
Anyway, this was a topic for another day, as for on this spectacular day, Diedrich, the Transcendental God of Occultism was holding a meeting with his retainers.
Either than himself, there was also his wife, three sons, and the vessel gods that they had created, by sharing their attainments in Law with. At least, there were a few tens of Vessel gods.
"Father, everyone has gathered here, why did you summon us?" The youngest of the children, Yig, inquired with curiosity, as his antisocial father rarely does this.
He did not believe that his father would bring them out for no apparent reason. Especially so, if their father himself, dislikes interacting with anyone, including the family.
As for Yig, the one who spoke, and the gem of the family, was a large snake that stretched out for hundreds of meters in his base form, and was covered in smooth white scales all over his body that reflected glitter and sparkles.
"Yes, is anything the matter?" A woman who was three meters tall in height and had the lower body of a large snake, as well as hair made out of innumerable tentacles also asked.
She was an exotic beauty herself, as despite her beastly characteristics, she was still a Goddess with Divine Charm. And her figure was quite voluptuous.
She was his second lover, Byat, as well as the mother of the three children who were currently with them here, the mother of three unknown Origin Gods.
"I am sure many of you have felt the presence that came from within the influence of the Radiant Empire. The law power of Mysteries? The required Law level to become Cosmological?" He looked around with his grotesque figure covered in numerous eyes.
His humanoid being, though slightly handsome, was quite the piece of art. The eyes covered his body from head to toe, making him resemble an Abomination of sorts.
Everyone, excluding the vessel gods who are unaware of the presence of a Mystery Laws that transcends the Influence of Reality, nodded sternly. They were very aware of the power of such Existential Laws since the their master, himself, also had it.
"Of the Transcendental Gods of the God Realm, those Righteous fools are hidden within their temples out of the Empire, within the Cloud Palace. The Rokushiki didn't bother descending either than a brief Descent of Bellum."
"And all of their Laws have already gone beyond Transcendencing the mere Influence of Reality, to transcending the Rules of Reality as well as the Laws of Reality."
"The Gaurdians of the Empire are thus the only ones who are within the Empire, and as things stand, one of them is likely to have transcended their realm to become Cosmological Divine beings, the peak amongst Cosmic beings."
Everyone turned stern at the words said by their lord. Though Transcendentals are a lot, Cosmological Divine beings were the opposite. There were only thirty such beings so far, throughout the whole of Great Terra.
One could briefly see the toughness of attaining such a Realm of power, when the number of Transcendentals have always been ranging below fifty for the past millions of years!!
And now, a possible thirty-first was about to appear? Especially if they came from the Radiant Empire, that was bad news for all beings who came from Cloud Palace, be it good or evil or neutral.
"Father, we are not sure if it's truly a Gaurdian God that has transcended. What if it's some other God from the other pantheons? After all, Heaven is still fusing with the God Realm."
"The outbreak of power between both realms, might be able to trigger something. Especially so for the Commandment King or the Highest Virtue." The eldest son, Stur, the God of Nihilism and the Damned, and founder of this place said.
Diedrich nodded his head in slight pride, his Successor had not failed him. "That's good observation Skills, and your awareness of the outside world is truly great."
"And just as you said, the Realms are fusing. Not only Heaven and the God Realm, the Abyss and Hell as well. The outbreak of energy would really evolve both realms to unseen heights."
"So, I've been thinking about it and wanted to send you out to gain experience and breakthroughs. It's not everyday that such a small ragnarok appears." He proposed, looking at his children with apathy.
"No need, I'm about to become a Transcendental on my own father." Stur proudly said with a bold smile, surprising his parents and siblings. Such was a bold statement to say.
