Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

"They transcend Ancient Gods after all. So even if it is them transcending themselves and becoming Transcendentals, their power should be more terrifying than that."

The Lord of Darkness did not shy away at his own insecurities, and laid them bare, not afraid of their jusgement. Even the Lord of Balance was not expectant of this.

"...."

"...."

"I know, sending Cosmological Gods, or more Transcendentals is useless, but we do not have any Supreme beings that would be allowed within the God Realm."

"Let alone Creators. This is just to make myself feel better and calm about the situation. My apologies, but I would not be able to concentrate otherwise."

They further explained themselves with a poker face, causing the Sword Lord to click his tongue in wonder as he responded. "Dont worry, I'll send five Transcendentals, two Elders and a Cosmological Firnd towards the place. Happy?"

"Partially." The Lord of Darkness nodded. And from then on, they continued their discussion, now including the Mortal Worlds.

And unlike the God Realm, it did not take much time for them to determine the direction of the Calamity, trying to urge the second Calamity as fast as possible.

An action the Gods were also desperately hoping for, for reasons unknown... or rather, for their time of descent.

Meanwhile, at the exact same time, within one of the many mountain ranges of the God Realm, two young War Gods stood face to face, unarmed.

"Long time no see." One of the two spoke, his flaming hair and beard dancing in the air with magnificence and glory. His exposed bare body seemingly made out of the strongest steel.

"Yeah..." The second responded bleakly, with no enthusiasm contained within his tone. In fact he sounded a bit disappointed and despondent.

It was Su Han and the Starflame War God.

Two War Gods who fought it out, and became friends immediately afterwards. A Transcendental, and an Initial Ascendency True God. A powerful duo.

"You seem even stronger than before, far, far stronger." The Starflame War God ignored Su Han's tone and instead commented on the power he now contained.

"Yeah... but what's the use?" Su Han sighed at such a compliment. Even though his strength increased by over two thousand times, his speed by eight hundred times and his Reiki by a thousand times...

He still knew that he was not Bellum's match.

"Is it because of Lord Bellum?" The Starflame War God chuckled to himself as he inquired.

"Lord Bellum? Yeah, I guess you would know him. And what do you know about this guy?" Su Han's interest was ignited, as he seemed keen on knowing more about the person named Bellum.

His tone was not as despondent as before, and it even had a hint of Battle intent mixed along within it. The Starflame War God was satisfied with the reaction, and thus responded happily.

"Yes, Lord. He is the father and presiding figure of all War Gods. The strongest back then, and still the strongest War God even now." He said, starting to reminisce about the stories he used to hear.

"No matter how strong and promising you are, you would never reach to his height. Especially with all the impossible feats Lord Bellum has in his records." He also seemed quite fanatic when he spoke about Bellum.

His flaming hair and beard lit up to High intensity when he spoke, showing how excited he was. He did not even seem to mind the fact that he lost to Su Han at all.

It was as if Bellum's victory against Su Han was his victory instead. But Su Han could not help but blink his eyes at him in curiosity and amazement.

"...."

He was amazed how these people ignored the difference between them and their opponents. Realm, Bloodline, Age, Experience, etc.

After all, when Su Han fought Bellum, he was just the equivalent of a Deity Lord, who had not even lived for 200 years, with a Bloodline lower than that of Ancients.

While his opponent was an Ancient God, who has lived for as long as Existence and maybe even older, with a Bloodline probably beyond Ancients.

They were literally contrasting. But that was not important, nor was it his reason for losing against Bellum. After all, Bellum won against Supremes even as a Transcendental.

And he, himself, won against a Transcendental even as a 'Deity Lord'. He could not think that True Gods were the only variants, there should be many more out there.

Like Ancient Gods...

"What kind of feats has this Lord Bellum of yours achieved?" But Su Han felt disdain even though he understood. He still believed that he could do what Bellum did... and much more, when he became a Transcendental.

Just let them wait, let them wait for him to become a Sovereign True God, a Transcendental God equivalent, for him to prove himself. Until then...

"Are you interested?" The Starflame War God laughed out boisterously, as he proceeded to sit down cross legged with excitement dancing in his eyes.

"Of course." Su Han sat down and listened. Part of him was genuinely curious what kind of life Bellum, this mysterious fellow connected to him through Bloodline resonance, had.

And the Starflame War God did not let such a perfect opportunity to brag slip him off. He opened his mouth and began bragging as if the feats he was speaking off, were performed by himself.

This attitude surprised Su Han a bit, but not much. He felt like he would also be like this if he was talking about Su Xue, Enigma or Allen. It was a feeling of his. An intuition.

And his intuitions are never off. So why bother overthinking things? Anyway, as for Bellum, this guy sure did have an adventurous life behind him, alright.

Bellum... was an amazing guy.

He was so powerful, he could swim within the Endless Seas of Norhingness, that transcend any and all concepts known and unknown to men, deity and god.

Every possibly Law and Aspect that transcends Reality, Realms and even Rules. A power above powers, so grand that it was not even considered a power no more.

Even as a Transcendental, he can easily swim with such a Sea with no problem. A feat not even ordinary Creators could do. Not even the stronger Creators can do so indefinitely.

But he could.

And that was not all.please visit panda-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m

His presence was so great, it made even Great Terra seem so small. Vastly small, to the point where, he could view all things with just the spread of his presence... instantly.

A World so great that it could contain an Endless Sea, along with an Endless Sky, making it the size of countless Universes, if not much, much more than that.

Not just Decillions of Universes that make up a Reality, or the Trillions of Realities that make up a Verse, or the Millions of Verses that make up a Creation... not all of that.

Even though they all translate to a immeasurable Universes, which was quite the terrifying number, it still did not reach up to what a single Greater World could cover.

And a person like Bellum, easily covered up such a world with his aura alone, Instantaneously at that... Mind you, not even Creators could do something like that.

"...."

Su Han was quite impressed, as even when they fought above the world, within the Seas of Nothingness, he could not see the edge of the world... it was not even possible.

It gave out the impression of being infinitismally flat, but it was not, as it was spherical like all worlds. But its mere size, made it hard to cover with one's will and aura.

But Bellum did so.

That's not all though.

He was the Primal Ragnarok, a disaster born to be the end of all Creator Gods not worthy of such titles. A trial so severe, that even those worthy, and born along with him...

Feared it.

He was a God that was able to hold the same world mentioned above, with a single hand. A world vastly greater than the weight of practically an Omniverse containing countless Creations.

A feat of great strength beyond the Comprehension of anything Gods and Men of the Infinite Era could ever fathom.

He is the only one who managed to not be sealed by the chains of Purgatory, that transcend even feats of Immeasurable Strength, Immeasurable Speed or even Infinite Source.

Chains that continously transcend the one they bound Infinitismally, whilst limiting their capabilities to as infinitismally close as zero as possible.

Such chains failed to even bound him for a second... seemingly tearing off from his body just as they were bound. Falling apart like mere tofu being cut through.

And these were just a few of the things that Bellum could achieve. Things that were only considered a minority.

They were well aware of the fact that the current Ancient Gods, were not even at their peak. They were not even at an Infinitismal close to their peak power.

For they True Bodies were sealed. For their Bloodlime stretches towards a World that derives Omnipotence. For their origins... were Unfathomable.

"...."

Su Han knew at that moment, he completely knew that he had to up his game by quite a lot of degrees. And he was looking forward to surpassing such an unfathomable character.

Meanwhile, back at Enigma's side, he and the system continued their discussion. A very secretive conversation that isolated even the ears of Ancients Gods.

Enigma was not aware, but the system was.

"I'll start now... anything I say, will determine your future, the future of your so called brothers, family and followers, and probably anyone closely related to you"

The system sternly said, not giving Enigma the chance to complain about what had just occurred to him at all, a few moments ago.

"...."

"First of all, Enigma, you're weak"

"...."

The system's starter was quite direct.

So direct that, he was speechless and didn't know what to say. He knew that there were beings above his strength, but comparing him with them was unfair right?

"Fair huh? That's a nice word I haven't heard about in a long time. Reminds of the Era before everything became... this"

The system suddenly took on a different tone, sounding bitter and lost as it spoke. Causing Enigma to feel strange, yet surreal. As if he understood what it meant, yet did not.

"I've been with you throughout your life, and I can say that you have been through quite the experience. So, why... why are you still avoiding the truth to such a scale?"

p An dD ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.cO,,m "...."

He kept quiet, not knowing what to say or what excuse to bring. This topic was so sudden that he was caught off guard, and unprepared. Plus, he really had no proper answer.

"Your battle with David, you had fought against him toe to toe despite your strength at that time, and became arrogant. I tried sealing your Physique to teach you lesson"

"Yet even after that, it didn't work"

"...."

He remembered everything, what the system was saying was true. He did fight against David back then, a Demigod, while he was rank 1 or rank 2.

And his Physique really did give him the impression that he was unstoppable. Being able to gain equivalent strength of your opponent, then bypassing that strength instantly, was not common at all.

"When you fought the Colossal Bird, the being that I attracted as a trial for you, you still didn't think back to your errors and tried to perfect yourself. You just moved on as if everything was alright"

"I had no choice, that thing was greatly stronger than me." He couldn't help but retort. What was he supposed to do, beat himself up for losing to someone stronger by more than a few realms? While he was sealed?

What bullshit.
