Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

"...It's safe, guys." Enigma instantly said, causing the Allen and Su Han to brighten up. Since they had already dug their grave, it did not matter if they went even deeper in.

They each sent their consciousness within, and saw boundless amount of information that seemed to explain a cryptic method. Each method different for each of them.

And as they each delved into their methods, they entered a state of trance, as something grand occurred within their bodies, at a minute difference.

Time flashed by as each brother was in a state of Tranquility, whilst the Goddess herself watched over them, whilst thinking of a way to make herself useful.

She would have to discuss it more with the person that was most probably fated to help her succeed. 'At least, that is what my Destiny River is constantly telling me.'

Back at The God Realm

Radiant Divine Empire

Rodriguez sat within his study, twirling an ink pen with a blank gaze, seemingly thinking about multiple things at the same time.

Behind him, was the young and handsome Note, who took the place of his senior, Killer, and served Prince Rodriguez. Though he was still but a High Hero, he was also someone with potential rivaling that of Ancient Origins.

"...."

He stood behind Rodriguez and could not help but sigh. This man, was a bit eccentric and suspicious at times, as he was secretive and scheming.

But he was also a caring person, he just had his own way of showing it. But everything mentioned aside, he had one big flaw, which brought out his secretive and scheming character. 𝑓𝐫𝑒e𝒘𝚎𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝐞𝑙.co𝑚

He lacked trust.

He did not trust in his siblings. He did not trust in his Heroes. He did not trust in his father, uncles, aunties or the Gods themselves.

He did not trust the history of this world, he did not trust the future, nor did he even trust himself that much. Even he could betray himself, thus sometimes, he did things not expecting much from himself either.

And such occurrences, such as the current plight the God Realm was experiencing, just proved him right each and every time he thought about it.

His behavior was not baseless.

His elders, be it his father, uncles or aunties, were genuine Supreme Beings, being Supreme even over other Supreme Beings due to having the blood of the Creator Goddess of Terra.

And yet, something as insignificant as a bunch of Origin and Transcendental Beings, were wrecking havoc everywhere, causing the death of multiple innocent people.

Where was his father at a time like this?

Where was his uncle?

Or maybe the so-called Gods within the Cloud Palace, that were supposed to watch over everything in the God Realm?

Where were they? Were they still watching?

If so, then what were their feelings towards everything occurring now? Were they even affected? Or were they just watching on their Golden Thrones, deeming everything not worth their time?

Is that what being powerful implied? That when you've reached a certain level of power, everything else below you was insignificant?

Such thoughts floated through his mind, as he could not come to a conclusion what was actually going on. But he knew, he knew that there was a conspiracy going on.

And he would not be stupid enough to separate people with terms like, "innocent" nor "guilty", because in a Paranormal Era like this, who could not feign Emotions? Who was not a genius schemer?

Who could not act?

To him, everyone was a possible culprit. Be it his weak, innocent, younger brother, who would not have the capabilities to do any of such fluent scheming...

Or his youngest sister, who was too upright to even start scheming. Nor his secretive younger sister, who cared less about authority and anything pertaining to the Empire.

His impassive father, who seemingly sealed off his emotions. His impassive uncle, who cared about nothing but power. All of them.

Whether their behavior matched with every possible evidence, or not, whether everything pointed to them, or nothing at all pointed that they were the culprit.

It did not matter, as he still did not trust any of them. Even his Heroes, who signed contracts of benefits from both sides, contracts of Master-Servant.

He did not trust them either.

"...."

He did not even trust himself after all.

He suddenly laid back on the chair and subconsciously let out a smile of mockery. "...I am just curious, who is behind any of this, and what goal do they have in mind?" He thought out loud, catching the attention of young Note.

? "What is father's thoughts on everything, what does he think about the ongoing chaos? Does he not care? Or does he?" He continued on with his thoughts, wandering off, yet his question were ones that demanded no answers.

"Is this something that must occur, regardless of how he feels? If so, is he not here because he cares so much, he does not want to watch his very own people perish? Or..."

The smile of mockery on his face suddenly contorted, and became one of ruthlessness, and calm anger.

"...Or, does he not care what happens, and he is off somewhere else, doing what he deems is more important to him that his own children and people?"

...!!!

Young Note could not help but take a step back hearing the assumptions of his Master. Being from a modern world where peace was the norm, things such as these, were only heard or read from history.

And facing it himself, made him feel uncomfortable. Especially if he was part of the unfortunate ones this time around.

"...."

But Rodriguez did not seem to see that at all, instead, he burst out into laughter and stood up from his chair, determination flashing through his eyes.

"In that case, father, I hope you won't blame me for taking your Throne and fixing the errors that you all caused." He declared a shocking statement without reserve!!

"...!!!"

Note opened his mouth wide in shock, not expecting things to turn this bloody so soon. He genuinely wished his Master would turn back on his words.

"But... I am still too weak. If I revolted now, I'd only bring pain than anything to myself. And to add on, not like my uncles and aunties would support any of that nonsense."

Rodriguez sighed and sat himself back on the chair, and continued his thoughts. Young Note sighed in relief hearing those words, as he avoided fighting against Supreme Gods.

From back home, each and every Supreme God of each Mythology was an unstoppable force to be reckoned. Nigh-Omnipotent entities. And it was no different here as well!!

He did not want to seek death, yet.

? ? ? ? ?

As Rodriquez had his own thoughts and Future plans, the chaos around the God Realms did not stop at all, and only just lessened its influence.

From causing chaos everywhere, crippling multiple Minor and Major Gods, and killing multiple Demigods, and innumerable Deities... the terrorists went on to destroying cities and kingdoms, to damaging the natural environment.

A lot of mortals had met their end, dying at the ends of both Gods and Terrorists. The situation was quite unfavorable.

Those that could not stop the invasion and were helpless, joined them and also spread Chaos amongst people they could influence with their actions.

While others, who felt like they would not sit by and do nothing, rallied each other and planned their revolution, spreading their own propaganda.

While the unfortunate ones who still chose to believe in the Empire, suffered in hiding.

The situation was not good at all, but at least the spreading Chaos was no more as torrential as before. But nonetheless, it was still there.

Not only in the God Realm, the Middle Realm, Spiritus, Heaven and even Hell also experienced their own form of Chaos that spread the very same day that the God Realms were attacked.

And the one to suffer the most, were of course the Middle Realm, where Demigods and above powerhouses were restricted greatly, while the terrorists were at that level of power.

Everything was disastrous.

Central Middle, Void Island

Central Magoi, Athens

Athena playfully held the pen within her hand, as she read words on a glowing golden book that seemed to hold the vicissitudes of the past, and future.

A book that had the depiction of four beings on the front page, stretching out their hands at the center with affectionate smiles towards each other.

While the back, had a beast that resembled a giant ape, forcefully pushing itself upon the clouds, as if trying to ascend the Heavens.

She ignored it all and kept her focus on the black words on the pure white page. The more she read, the more she frowned, and the more Fate itself twisted and turned.

"「...A group of white cloaked individuals floated through the Void of space, seemingly heading towards the Five God Councils. But Destiny is never set, as throughout the journey, they came across a small island」

"「Being the bloodthirsty fiends they were, they sunk down and brought down Slaughter towards the beings of the island. And even the three sisters of knowledge, the True Gods watching over the island, were helpless against the group of Demigod-like white cloaked individuals」"
