"I cannot bring myself to do that. Trusting you snakes, is as good as committing suicide." Hypno was the one to respond, and knowing these two well, I guess it's sealed.
I'm not fit to be trusted.
"...."
Indeed, it is as such. Aeneas did not speak, but his actions more than said enough. And I did not bother explaining myself, for the more I spoke, the more I'd make mistakes.
After all, pulling back now would still be possible. But I would not like that to happen. Not at all. At the very least, not this time.
"Well, I hope we can at least, work together, until we are out of this situations that a certain someone... put us into." I said and shifted the blame, my eyes sat upon a certain cloaked figure.
You're neither ugly, nor beautiful. What are you hiding for? A lot of us have seen you without the cloak on. Why act so mysterious now?
"...."
She did not respond to my provocation, and instead averted her eyes. I am sure she is now convinced. She might not trust me, but she will also not make trouble for me.
'As long as she does not do that, I know Aeneas will not. Plus, even with her stubborness, and his caution, they are still Light Pantheon Gods, supporting Virture and Benevolence.'
'They would never betray a comrade. Even if that comrade was a from a rival Pantheon. After all, these guys weren't corrupt and hypocritical. As Gods, they had a extreme control over their emotions, and what they want. Unlike most mortals...'
I thought as I turned my Will back towards the fighting duo, where they could be seen hundreds of thousands, if not millions of light years deep into the endless crater.
If this continues, will there ever reach a dead end? Or will the hole continously grow deeper and deeper, until it falls into the Abyss?
The theory is possible.
"Speaking of which, have you guys realized that this God had yet to unleash any Divine Skills of sort?" I asked whilst focusing on the battle below, and on the Primal God being pushed further down.
"...."
"...."
Aeneas and Hypno did not respond to my words, and I actually did not mind. I could already tell that they were affected, and began thinking about it carefully.
"The barrier he summoned seems natural. It did not trigger the Ultimate Essence released at the cast of Divine Skills. So was the creation of that fellow down below us." I added, sowing more seeds of caution.
"Basically. He has yet to show us what he can do, and has only been showing us what Primal beings are capable off. In short... what he has done, was simply what all Primal beings can do at base minimum."
"The basics, among basics." I concluded, as I gazed at them once again, letting out a smile of my own, then I continued, "Which sums up to, 'Basically, all Primal beings are monsters.' type of situation." I concluded.
"...."
"...."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBoth turned to look at me, and disregarded the battles below us, as the were partially sure the situation was under control. Unfortunately... I'm not too sure of that.
Anyway, they seem curious what I was getting at. And I am sure, anyone else would be. Especially if my plan was not to frighten them into running away.
"The thing he has shown us so far, is his Laws. Which, I can proudly say, are "Creation" and "Divinity". Which could also be considered basic facts about them."
"Who knows." I shrugged my shoulders, with my hands still in my pockets. I was saying all that, yet seemingly so calm and unbothered. Creating an imagine of dependence.
Whether they like it not, seeing me so calm and relaxed despite all that I said, they would surely let down their gaurd. Anybody would though. Even if just a tiny bit.
Whether they like it not, seeing me so calm and relaxed despite all that I said, they would surely let down their gaurd. Anybody would though. Even if just a tiny bit.
"Indeed."
Suddenly, the carefree, enticing voice once again stretched out from millions of light years down, and fluently reached our ears as if the person was right besides us.
...!!!
And everyone was shocked. Including myself, even though I did my best not to show it. Not because he was still casual and relaxed in this situation, or because he heard my thoughts.
But because of the nigh-Transcendental authority of Time that was being unleashed. Such an Authority was too potent, to the point where even my Time Loop, was easily disregarded and broken down.
Low ranked Divine Skills borrowed Influence from Basic Laws to Master Laws, and High ranked Divine Skills borrowed from Ultimate Laws and Absolute Laws.
As for the highest Superior Divine Skills, they directly borrowed from Transcendent Laws beyond all other Laws, which were likewise, Supreme in nature.
And of course, my [Time Loop] was only a High ranked Divine Skill. So, a Transcendental Law could easily break off its effects. But more importantly, a third Law!!
At the nigh-Transcendental level as well!!!
How powerful, was this God?
"Far more powerful than you can fathom." He responded to my thoughts, that existed out of the current plot line, that dictates what's going to happen, and what will not happen.
A line that was far from Absolute Destiny's authority. A line beyond the Existence of Gods such as Supreme Beings. But I should not be surprised.
For he was also a God above said Gods.
"...."
But I was still dumbstruck. For after his words, Space suddenly twisted, as Time itself was forced to rewind itself ever slowly.
It went back from the current point in times, where the Sun God was sending a punch towards a passively defending young man, and went back to the point when the Sun God had yet to even raise his fist.
Then to the pint before that, the point before that point, the point before even that point. The rewind slowly got faster and faster, as in no time at all, everything was back to the point where I had yet to make my move.
But strangely, the time that was the determination of the Flow of the plot, was not affected. Thus, right now, time was inching closer to a millisecond.
In other words, we were back to the point where I had yet to make my move, but a thousand times ahead into the future, than before. Only us beings were moved back in time, and not time itself. How... amazing.
"...."
"...."
"...."
"...."
I was dumbstruck.
Sane was dumbstruck.
Aeneas was dumbstruck.
Even Hypno was dumbstruck.
Who wouldn't be dumbstruck though?
"Don't feel so shocked. This is just the beginning honestly." He said, as he stretched out his hand, the direction not being towards any of us four Transcendental Gods.
But towards the Dragon Spirit.
And that's when it happened. A strange scene occurred. As his hands moved, a strange essence reminiscent to Ultimate Essence, yet also Unique Essence bloomed out.
It was as if a Unique Skill was being cast, alongside a Divine Skill. It was strange, If I had to say so myself.
The authority bloomed out, and even is Transcendentals, felt stifled by that authority. And that's when it occurred. When even I started feeling dread.
VROOOOM~
A sound akin to a powerful engine roaring exploded out, as alongside it, silver mist was released. It was quite the beautiful sight, as this silver mist had a characteristics reminiscent of Divine Beauty.
It attracted the praise and worship of all things. But unlike Divine Beauty, it desired even the praise and worship of even Gods. As it was just too... Forbidden and Taboo.
...!!!
The silver mist exploded out and expanded to cover tens of Light years, then spread out to cover hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, millions, billions.
And finally, until it covered all eighteen Dragon Spirits, including the nigh-Multiversal sized fellow. It expanded out and covered everything, before swiftly descending.
And before it fell, like a tsunami cloaking the sky before its downfall, it embraced everything it overshadowed. All eighteen Dragon Spirits were submerged within.
This occurred Instantaneously, leaving them no chance of retaliation at all. As if, they did not even see the attack coming.
And as soon as the mist submerged everything within, it proceeded to regather at the bottom, forming a sort of bubble like shape, where every one of the eighteen Dragon Spirits, and the newly born fellow, were within.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"...."
And then slowly, everything began to shrink at a very visible rate, of over millions of Light years at a picosecond, thus shrinking into Nothingness just as swiftly as it appeared.
The only entity left in place, was the newly born Transcendental, crystallized entity. It was obvious it would be the only left, as they shared a kind of bond.
I was left shocked in place.
~
~
Caus and the other Transcendental Gods were presented with a one of a kind form of Apocalypse, that left them speechless and terrified to their core.
But then again, they wondered what happened to the eighteen Dragon Spirits. But the one to be affected the most, was Aeneas.
He knew that those Dragon Spirits were eternal within this place. Especially when the people below continously believed in them, they would never die.
But he could feel that they were gone.
In fact, the people below suddenly began questioning their existence, wondering whether such a thing as "Dragon Spirits" existed, or it was just a lousy story they once heard.
Or a rumor.
Each an every one of them, began doubting the very Existence of such beings. No, they doubted even the existence of the term "Dragon Spirit".
"...!!!"
Aeneas was truly frightened now, as all he wanted, was to grab Hypno and leave with her. Even if he had to use force. Unfortunately, it was too late.
Meanwhile, as for Enigma.
"You have used the Sub Skill "Universal Devouring" on eighteen Dragon Spirits"
"You have obtained enough essence to obtain yet another Bloodline Resource, that your body has adapted to: Spiritual Dragon Divine Bloodline"
"You have obtained the following low ranked Divine Skills: "Spiritualization", "Draconic Breathe", "Dragon Might", "Dragon Force", "Dragon Roar",.... +15 more Skills"
"You have sacrificed twelve of the newly recieved Skills: You have obtained twelve "Skill Evolution: Divine" chances"
'Just Devouring a bunch of pseudo-Origin Dragons already gave me this much. What about the Transcendental fellows before me.' Enigma thought, as he lowered his hand, and faced the four Transcendentals.
...!!!
All of them flinched back just from his gaze, especially Hypno and Sane, who seem to be the ones who were too disrespectful throughout the whole encounter.
And Enigma, chose to target one of them.
He easily froze the time around them with his Transcendental Time Law. Of course, the effects would be reduced, but it was still applicable for an instant.
And along with the authority of Destiny and Fate, which when used together, could rival Absolute Authority, his Transcendental Time Law was Irresistible!!
