Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

It seemed like he was the latter type, but it was actually different. He did not send anybody with a secret message, he did not study her, his gazes did not even last a second, and his behavior was casual.

In fact, as she saw things, it was actually how he treated everyone. Not only herself, but some other Gods, Goddess or Demigods and Demigoddesses recieved similar treatment from him.

He only glance at them from time to time, before turning away as instantaneous as he gazed at them. And if he was caught just like their first exchange, he would smile a charming smile and wave at them.

"...."

This behavior was peculiar, as it did not seem to be aiming for anything, yet her senses told her that he was up to no good. She was the Ruler of the Greater Divinity of Seductiom.

All types of Seduction techniques made and conjured with a Reality were under her. Yet, she did not seem to understand this young man's way of doing so.

"Hey... she doesn't seem interested. Are you sure this will work?" Lin carefully asked, as from the corner of her eyes, Goddess Ruby was still as expressionless as always.

"What will work?" Allen turned to look at her and inquired in confusion. He was not faking it, as he was truly curious what she was on about. 'Waht will work?' He thought.

"...."

Lin could not help but give him a careful glance before shaking her head in wonder and annoyance. "Gods.... I mean the seduction. Will she really be attracted to you?"

"...Who said anything about seducing her?" Allen shrugged, drunk from his wine cup and cleared it empty, before inquiring with curiosity, once again surprising Lin speechless.

"...."

"I never said anything about seducing her. She's the Transcendent Goddess of Beauty and Seduction for Terra's sake, how the fuck am I going to seduce her?" He added after a moment of silence between both of them.

After all, though it was common sense that Transcendentald could normally manifest the power of literally anything between a sextillion to an octillion number of Universes... stat wise.

Of course, with the help of their Domains. But their range of Influence went to cover the whole of Reality. And Cosmic Gods could transcend its influence.

Thus, it was common sense to believe that the Transcendental God of Fire, had the potential to wield all the flames of all Decillions of Universes within a Reality.

They had the potential to combust Reality itself. And of course potentially, and not necessarily a fact, but it was still a possibility, among infinite possibilities.

And now, the Goddess before them, had such potential. The potential to know and discern any form of seduction that can be known by Reality Dwellers, by an Immeasurable number of seducers and seductresses.

This included Minor and possibly, Greater Divinities. Thus, as a being under such a category, did he even stand a chance at securing her? Plus, this was the Abyss, not the Middle Realms.

"...."

"...."

The silence trekked on and on, as the only thing Lin did, was carefully stare at this God before her more carefully. Maybe, just maybe, she might have overestimated him quite a bit.

But then, as if her mind was in denial, she lightly hammered her left hand palm with her right hand, and came up with an plan for him, "Ah... you're trying to gain her attention? I see, I see, what a smar—"

"No. She's not dumb. She'd easily see through that, and even lose more interest." But Allen immediately cut her off, and denied her words right before she could finish saying them.

"...."

"...."

She was not even given a chance at all, as he literally, and figuratively, proved him to be unreliable. What on Terra, were they doing here then? Sightseeing? She thought.

"...."

"...."

Allen also did not say anything, as he only realized now that Sraet was not coming back with more wine. Reluctantly, or not, he actively moved out himself.

"...."

Lin, still in stupor and denial, watched him leave and go towards another table, where he flirted with a young Demigoddess as if it was only the two of them within the hall.

She truly hoped throughout the process, he rould come back and say that he was joking, then lay out his true plan, and everything becomes okay. She truly hoped, but...

"Expectations. Expectations. Expectations." A mature voice drifted from behind her, and as Lin turned around, she saw Sraet standing there enjoying yet another piece of cake.

"You know, back then, as a little girl, I also had expectations for them. But... tsk tsk tsk... boy did that horribly fail us." She said as she sat back down on the chair she was previously using.

"...."

Lin watched on, as her resentment for both of them only grew larger and larger. Like, why couldn't you do something about it then? Why are just doing nothing but eating, then?! Why don't you just go sleep, THEN?!

"...I'm sorry, I'll go right–"

"Stay."

As if Sraet read her thoughts, and as if Lin didn't actually mind, she stopped her. Their exchange not proving the relationship between God and man. In fact, it was far from it.

"...."

"...."

Meanwhile, the cause of the problem between the trio was actually staring at them. She didn't realize herself, but she was actually attracted by this three beings.

It was not that she fell for the basic trick of being interested by those that ignored her, but because they were just too peculiar.

Their actions were more like mortals than Gods. And one must remember that, only Demigods could enter in this place. Thus, they stood out in this place.

Especially their bearing and small interactions. It made them more humane, than most mortals. That was what caught het attention, but most importantly...

"...."

She turned towards another direction, where the figure of Allen, who easily seduced the young Demigoddess, and was pushed back by her partner, could be seen.

"...A daring fellow, an expert seducer, a handsome man. Honestly, how do you expect me not to believe that you deliberately came here for me?"

Goddess Ruby murmured to herself as she gazed at Allen. He was now searching for yet another target, abd she did not know whether it was by luck, or Fate was just on his side...

He just happened to turn and caught her staring at him in intrigue. And Allen being Allen, as well as being the person she deduced he was from his prior actions... She knew what his next move would be.

And she was spot on. The daring fellow, took careful strides towards her directions, instantly gaining the attention of almost everyone within this hall.

The few Gods and vessel Gods.

The multiple Demigods.

The young Lin.

The bored Sraet.

And even herself.

Allen had caught the attention of everyone as he boldly went forward to woo a beauty who would literally overturn entire Realities with her charm alone.

A beauty who was the Embodiment of Beauty and Seduction throughout a Reality. And who did he think he was, to dare and even try to match up to her level?

The fact that he had a mask on, spoke many implications. But nobody stopped him, they were quite looking forward to another show of embarrassment.

Unfortunately... Allen was quite, Allenish.

The Gods, Goddesses and other Lesser Divinities could not help but converse amongst themselves as they watch a daring fellow walk towards their Goddess of Beauty.

"How do you think this one will be rejected?" A Goddess inquired in intrigue as her eyes followed the young fellow's casual, but calm steps.

"Like any other one..." A God besides her rolled his eyes at her longful gaze, and plainly responded to her words.

"I don't think so, I think he doesn't know who he is dealing with here... he might die." Another God also added their own opinion, seemingly frowning at Allen's actions.

"Don't they all die?" The second God that spoke rolled his eyes once again, as he asked a factual question that they all knew too well about.

"...."

"...."

"The King of Evil is not ruling such a Divinity for no complete reason. And worse, he is a Cosmological fellow." Yet another Goddess said as she joined them.

"...."

"...."

"...."

The first three were quiet when the King of Evil was mentioned, choosing not to even converse about such a being.

They also realized that, their only option here was to watch and do nothing. For they did not know of Allen's backing, nor did they have one themselves.

Meanwhile....

"What is he doing?" Lin apathetically inquired as she, really and desperately wanted to leave this room. The embarrassment she was going to suffer because of this was too much.

Let alone embarrassment, she might not even live to experience that feeling by tomorrow morning!!!

"Beats me." Sraet casually responded without being bothered. She then stood up and hurriedly left, before Lin could give her an earful about her father's actions.

"...."

Lin was left speechless, at how fast and shameless both father and daughter were. She genuinely wondered if they were truly Ancient Gods, or just pure fakes!!

As for the cause of her current emotions, even before reaching the Goddess of Beauty herself, she saw how Allen had opened his mouth to take a light sip of his wine, before smiling ar her blank gaze.

"Now, I wouldn't say my day went great, but I have to say, I'm already enjoying the night." He spoke carefully and casually, his voice... being mesmerizing and enchanting.

"...."

"...."

"...."

Everyone, every God, every Demigod, were speechless. And not because of his starter, but because his voice was just too...

"Oh my jeepers..." The first Goddess who spoke could not help but blink.her eyes towards his direction, as just his words alone made her giddy, and a bit... excited.

Yes, excited.

If Goddess Ruby was perfect in all directions, enough to ignite various emotions, sins and virtures from even Gods... Then Allen's voice could do the same, but grander.

He could bewitch Gods and Goddesses, Devils and Seraphs, enchant even Supremes. It was the embodiment of the most perfect sound a God's ears could be graced with.

And the effect... was absolute.

Even someone like Goddess Ruby, who met multiple beings and lived for tens of thousands of years, still could help but be affected. She did no know why, but she found herself responding to his words.

Words that, if one listened carefully, would think that the were not directed to anyone. Words that made it seem as if he was only talking to himself, and nobody.

"Hmm? Why would you say that, when the night has just begun?" She said, her voice being mesmerizing and perfect, but not to the level of Allen's bewitchful tone.

"Very much true, but, a glimpse of you, and no amount of excitement can compare." He casually said, now being around ten meters away from her. "No matter the activities that follow, none can replace the image of such... grace, such beauty."

"...Is that a compliment?" Goddess Ruby found herself intrigue. She could not go against the mere bewitchment from the voice, and could only follow along.

She could also tell that his voice effect was not a Skill or Artifact, or even a Title or Divinity, but naturally his own Trait.

"Polishing an already polished floor leads to no results." But Allen did not straightforwardly respond to her words, and instead said something abstract, yet simple.

"But it does lead to perfection, does it not?" Being swept up by the conversation, Goddess Ruby found herself slightly tilting her head, and crossing one leg over the other as she spoke.

Allen acted as if he did not see her interest, and instead responded to her inquiry, "Even Gods, cannot Perfect what is already Perfect. Otherwise, why would it be perfect, if it could be perfected?"

"But then again, what does have to do with my question? How is complimenting me, related to your words?" Maybe it was an attempt to keep the conversation flowing, or maybe she was truly clueless, but Goddess Ruby inquired nonetheless.
