Established Pinnacle: The Enigma-Chapter 156 Goddess Of Discord And Abominations
?"This is amazing, he is about to promote again in the next 50 days or so. That's not all, he also has a True Law. I guess I'm not really that great compared to him... either than that, I have a True Concept as a Law.
"Oh? And his Bloodline, Physique and Constitution are all Fantasy Grade, they are at least at the Forbidden level in this world's terms, or is it higher? And a Zenith Providence, not bad not bad. Unfortunately, he definitely can't use it for now.
"Either than that, I'm impressed he earns more than a 100 000 faith power per annum, that's amazing." He genuinely was surprised and impressed, but coming from him, it sounded sarcastic considering his achievements.
After all, compared to him, everything he mentioned was like an insult. Luckily, to those who never saw his Template, would believe in his sincerity. And it better stay that way, because just wow...
"En!! En!! Open up for me dude, I promise I won't blame you. I aren't even angry. I swear. Open up dude." Allen called out from outside the door, it's been more than ten minutes now, and he felt bad as well.
Feeling bad as well, Enigma ended standing up and opened the door with a beautiful smileon his face. And before Allen could even say anything, Enigma did so first, with a light tone, "We are brothers right?"
"Huh..? Yeah, I guess?" Caught off guard, Allen temporarily forgot what he wanted to say. What Enigma said was not something he was against. In fact, he would definitely like to have a Mystique as a brother.
It was exactly why he even bothered helping Enigma. Well, another reason was that he felt like Enigma protected them, but still... deep down, he wished that Enigma would hold that act of his to heart.
He did not want to say it himself, like telling Enigma that he owes him a favor for all that he did. It would be better if Enigma brought it put himself, otherwise, he would just treat it as him doing a good deed.
"That's great, so big brother, you won't really hold me against that little mistake, right? I was just playing around." Enigma continued asking with an innocent smile. Allen then realized that he fell for a trap.
Between brothers, there had to be the older and the younger brother, even among sworn brothers. And it's common sense that the bigger brother had to tolerate the mistakes of the younger brother and give them at least a leeway in some occasions.
While the younger brother had to respect the brother and listen to them, under normal circumstances. The younger brother always had to be guided by the older brother as well... it was the relationship between brothers.
And now, Enigma had pitied himself as the younger brother and took the role of becoming the lamb. As sworn brothers, and the younger one, he had to be respectful and obedient to his older brother... And Enigma knew himself pretty much.
As True Gods, Karma was especially ruthless to them. Making vows, brotherhood, sisterhood, making god children and such things were not light and casual things. In fact, appointing Godsons and Goddaughters were much more stricter and more ruthless to the True God.
Breaking the sacred agreement would attract misfortune and immense negative Karma, and possibly even corrupt a True being's Destiny and Providence. But this was not some sort of shackles, as each party still had their rights.
For example, Enigma could not listen to Allen's instructions if it involved something more important to him like family, goals, ideals and such. But under normal circumstances, he had to be the younger brother.
"You... Haah~ Why go so far? Not like I was going to get angry at you." Allen smiled bitterly and entered Enigma's room. He was happy since this was something he wanted too, but he thought he'd be the younger brother.
"I heard that you've claimed to be my brother... I heard it from your people. Since you took care of me, I'm the younger sibling then. Don't worry I don't mind, and I know you'd like that too." Enigma casually responded, then he asked, "So, how much do you owe it?"
"That.... hahaha, 10 units of Originity. Dude, you really did me dirty there. How expensive is an Originity even, if Deific power is a hundred thousand faith points." Allen sighed and helplessly threw himself onto the bed.
Enigma smiled bitterly as well, "I was serious though, I have around tens of them. Meaning I owe it fifty units of Originity. Don't worry, I'll pay it for you, don't disagree yet, here me out." Enigma said when he saw Allen about to speak.
"...."
"I earn around 600 units of faith power per annum. Unfortunately, my deadline is halfway through, I'm left with five years." Enigma kept up his bitter smile, at this rate, he wondered what the World Will will do if he doesn't pay.
"...Are the Pantheons re-opened yet?" Allen could feel the bitterness in Enigma's tone and decided to ask. This did not bother him much. Especially so, if he was not the only caught up into it.
"Not yet, I think at most next year. Why?"
"I want you to take my people in." Allen unexpectedly responded, making Enigma look at him in surprise, as he subconsciously retorted jokingly, "Isn't that supposedly the job of the older brother?"
"Are you disobeying your older brother's orders now? Perhaps I should discipline you." Allen feigned a stern expression and joked as well. Enigma also feigned a troubled expression, "...I've never felt this much instant regret before."
"....."
"....."
Following the silence, the both of them exchanged glances and smiled at one another, before breaking out into jovial laughter. It was okay to enjoy oneself once in a while, especially since they are True Gods.
" " Hahahaha!!! " "
Allen then abruptly stopped laughing, "Anyway, I'm serious. You seem better than me at management, so I'll leave it to you. I've never done much managing of my believers anyway, so it's fine."
'Brother, I haven't even met my own people yet.' Enigma retorted in his mind, but did not turn him down either. Truthfully, Allen wasn't right nor wrong at all, thus he just decided to not overthink things and just agreed. "Sure."
Knock~ Knock~
Allen and Enigma were suddenly interrupted mid laughter by a knock on the door, as they immediately stopped laughing at the same time. Enigma didn't hesitate to answer the door and he found Jim on the door. "...Lord En."
"If it's so awkward for you to call me that, just call me En. We are friends aren't we?" Enigma smiled lightly at him and casually said with a casual tone. But Jim did not respond and only smiled bitterly.
Did he dare to? No. Why? 𝘧𝑟𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝙗nov𝘦𝗹.𝐜o𝓶
Florence would have his neck for that, thus to save his own life, he just ignored that statement. After a moment of silence, he cleared his throat and made way, "Her highness would like to meet you. She arrived at the temple not long ago."
"Her highness? Then please lead the way... oh big brother Al, let's go." Enigma teased with a smile as he beckoned Allen with his hand. Allen sighed and sent a telepathic message. 'You're enjoying this aren't you?'
'There's nothing not to enjoy in life. Cut yourself some slack and enjoy this experience.' Enigma responded immediately, but coming from him, why did it sound so depressive and lonely? '....' Allen did not respond.
Within no time at all, Jim led them through the courtyard and passed through many maids and Heroes. Everyone was captivated by the charm of both Enigma and Allen and could not but stare longer, including guys.
Enigma's face was the striking feature, meanwhile Allen's body was his major striking point. In fact, now, he was even more popular to others than the sickly looking Enigma. 𝒇𝔯e𝚎𝘄𝑒𝑏𝙣𝑜𝚟𝗲𝑙.c𝘰𝚖
But Enigma did not mind the lack of attention he was receiving. Bella was already enough at the moment. They walked until they reached a room that seemed to spell out royalty and divine by its decorations.
Knock~ Knock~
"Your highness, I brought them over." Jim respectfully said after gently knocking on the door. Allen and Enigma couldn't help but exchange a glance. Compared to when he was talking to them, he was clearly respectful to the person inside.
But they both didn't mind. Enigma was someone who could not experience jealousy... as of yet. While Allen was an idle person who cared for little. Both of them didn't care about authority and other people's opinions much.
"Come in." An ethereal, albeit gentle voice responded from within, giving out the impression that a saintess was hidden behind the door. It also gave people the expectation to see who was within the room.
"Yes." The door was opened and they were accepted by an ordinary looking young maid. She had a bob cut, with brown hair and expressionless eyes. Her slightly redish eyes did not even stare at the duo, and only stared at Jim.
Her figure was covered by her dress, but her chest was abundant. Allen, being Allen, had his focus on what was more important. Meanwhile, Enigma was more attracted by her eyes and their lack of emotions.
