Established Pinnacle: The Enigma-Chapter 208 True Love, Calm Chaos
"Haah~" Enigma let out a light sigh, as he did yet another fuck up. But this time around, he was more mature than back then, and more desperate as well.
Thus, he did not complain.
Well... partially, did not complain.
'Hey, by that, does it mean that I'm limited by two Trillion times, or...' He projected part of his thoughts that weren't busy analyzing all the changes within himself, towards the system.
"Two fold"
'And by that, you mean...?'
"A Trillion times squared"
'....'
Enigma had nothing to say to that.
'Then how can I remove this Sickness thing?' He inquired curiously, even though he could guess what the answer would be.
"It's complicated. But once you reach Rank 5 True God, the restriction will decrease by 1 000, 100 and 10 for each respective Stat grade. The same when you become a Final Ascendent, when you become a Main God and when you Breakthrough the next League after that"
'That would still leave behind the original restriction...' Indeed. Unlike the others, his Restriction was squared twice, thus it was Trillion upon Trillions.
And what the system said, the final number would round up to a Trillion, Billion and Million, leaving behind another Trillion, Billion and Million.
"You can use the mission to cure yourself, or just keep breaking through to four more leagues, and you'll be brand new"
'You ruthless...' Enigma was speechless. There were only two more leagues after that, which included the League of Creators, and the League of Ancient Gods.
And most probably yet another League, where the predecessors of the Ancient Gods were at. As for the Prince of Desolation, he was most probably at the same level as the Ancient God's Predecessors, or the strongest within the Ancient God Realm.
There were many possibilities, and he would never be sure of them for now. But still, the system really played him good this time around.
"I told you I was going to up my game. Your "Good luck" Blessing is paying off, you see?"
It even dared to mock him right at this instance, and Enigma did not bicker around with it. He was actually finding entertainment from the battle between his 'Nerfer' as the System, and 'Golden Finger' as his Bloodline.
Who would come out top?
He thought in curiosity, as right at that moment, Allen had gotten out of his stupor and could not help but sigh.
He turned his Gaze towards Enigma, and bitterly smiled apologetically. Playing around aside, deep down, he cared about Enigma and Su Han, just as how he cared about himself.
He did not understand this feeling, but it was there. It was like love. As long as you feel attracted towards the opposite sex for no apparent reason, or reasons you cannot understand,
Then that would be what most people term love. It was an abstract term, as even Gods feel it, monsters feel it, and even abstract existence can also feel it.
It was more than an emotion.
When one genuinely feel attracted towards a person not because of their appearance, not because of their talent, not because of their smile, not because of their physique or anything that they are good or bad at.
When you don't have any basis for why you feel for that person at all. That was love. Because even when that person can literally do nothing at all, you will still feel for them.
Whether they are crippled, whether they lost their appearance, whether they lost their talent, their smile or became fat overnight. It won't change how you feel for that person, and once you've reached that stage... you can consider that True Love. Unconditional Love. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖
It does not only affect opposite genders, as parents can have this feeling towards their children, and children to their parents. Friends. Siblings. Teacher and student.
As long as it is between two or more individuals, this feeling can, and will always be there. And if you include Paranormality, then you can feel for the world, for the Universe, for Existence, for GOD or any concept at all.
The feeling of Love... was just too abstract even for True Beings. And that was what Allen felt towards certain individuals, excluding his family and women.
There were a few individuals he felt like, regardless of what happens, regardless of what he or they say, regardless of the path they each took... he would still have this spectacular feeling reminiscent of Love towards them.
Of course, with many more Sub emotions mixed in, with that Familial Love he feels towards them.
And Enigma, was one of them, where it was higher than the others. He smiled bitterly, with a hidden glint of a peculiar emotion with his eyes as he helplessly commented.
"Sorry man, it seems you tried to share your gains with us, but... we are too weak."
Hearing his words, Su Han also felt embarrassed and looked down. They also had the status effect Enigma had, albeit still greatly different as they were not "Ill" at all.
"It's fine. I'm the same, plus, we are brothers, why should they be boundaries like that between us?" Enigma shrugged his shoulders and casually responded, then added.
"This won't be the first time I do something like this, nor the first time I'll come out with similar results. Nonetheless, I'll still do it, after all, we are brothers... right?"
"...."
Allen did not say anything, as he felt strange. He felt really affected by those words, as if there was some connection between all of them that they were not aware of.
Maybe, they truly were from the Origin Era. But it did not make sense as they were also from the Prime Era. What was the connection between both Eras?
He was now curious.
Plus, the connection he felt from the Ancient Goddess before him... everything was too surreal, and he did not know from where to start. This time, was rumored to preside Space and Time.
No, it presided everything, as it even presided the Beginning of Existence, presiding most probably even something as boundlessly abstract as the Infinite Void of Totality (GENESIS) itself.
While the Prime Era was way beyond that, being an Era that is nothing but fiction due to the sheer impossibility of its Existence. Even CHAOS itself, or the whole GENESIS, saw it as nothing but fiction.
An Era that... literally transcended Transcendent Omnipotence. That is the only definition that people could come close to having when trying to explain what it was.
As mere words alone could not even begin to define what that Era held.
Meanwhile, Su Han strongly nodded in ignorance, as he and added his own words as well, "You are right, we are all brothers. In that case, I'll have to get stronger and use the power Aniki gave me to protect you all."
"Indeed, you do that Su." Enigma also nodded in agreement. Seeing them like this, Allen smiled and pushed away his thoughts. He would not burden them with the infinite possibilities for now.
"You're right. I guess I was just too emotional." He said, then to divert the conversation, he brought out something they had yet to take a look at, "What about the [Extremity Physiology Refinement Technique]?"
"Since it's a Technique, I think it we can all use it." Enigma thought out loud as he beckoned a small slate floating before Goddess Abigail to float towards him.
Unlike the [All-Source Dip], which was but a drop of rainbow colored Essence, this one was an rough edged small rectangular slate, that could be held perfectly in one hand.
It seemed Ancient and Majestic, as if it was a tool only meant to be worshipped by Ancient Kings and Emperors.
"We won't know until we try it out." Allen responded as he and the others intently watched the [Extremity Physiology Refinement Technique] with great focus.
Enigma then used the System to check out any spectacular thing about this technique. He did not want any mistake to occur.
"Extremity Physiology Refinement Technique"
"An Abomination upon Abomination, a disaster for mankind, falling upon the hands of an abominable being. This thing is the pure definition of blasphemy itself"
"...."
The system's definition of this thing almost made him want to put it away without second thought. Not because he thought it was bad, but because it would be bad because of him.
No, it definitely would.
Maybe their current Existence as True Beings, closest beings to the Prime Era, would resonate with it just as the other CHAOTIC treasures.
"What's wrong, man?"
"Ah, nothing." Enigma brushed Allen's concern as there was nothing truly wrong. If anything, the system was just being too dramatic.
"An Abominable treasure that uses innate potential (without any boost) to cultivate"
"Upon cultivation, refines 1% (2,5%), of a person's overall Existence. Has a hundred levels, where the higher the level, the refinement doubles and the required time to cultivate also doubles"
"Note: I honestly, would not recommend practicing that, but that's just me"
