Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

She would no more age once per year from now on, which was an elf's perk. And it's already been nine years, and she was now a Higher Deity, two more ranks before finally becoming a Mortal Demigod.

But she did not start cultivating Mana until a year before Enigma left, which was six years ago. It was also the same time when he gave everyone Supreme talents, which was why she was able to reach this far in just six years.

Ordinarily, it would take even a Millenia Genius forty years to reach her rank from being nothing. Anyway, that aside, not only her, her six other sisters were also Higher Deities, and also Head Priestesses of the Temple of Enigma.

It's also been an era of battles within the World Forest. And with Nia, being a year away from becoming a Deity King, the Providence of the place had suddenly increased, making the place as bright as a star in the Void.

The demons knew what this meant as they also had Ruler Demon Kings back at home, so they pulled back. The Elven Empire was also warned by the Mother Tree from doing something reckless, and thus did not attack at all.

But the beastfolk were clueless. Ever since two years ago, they started attacking the Large city of Green River. They thought the battle would be over by sending a thousand divine beings (Half Deities).

Unfortunately, that one thousand was easily slaughtered by the Green River City, surprising all superpowers of the World Forest. That was not all, the five regant monarchs of Green River made their debut.

Each of them were Deity Lords. And they were five, while despite the Beast Empire having over 200 000 Divine beings, they only had three Deity Lords on their side. And their Higher Deities were also not that much.

The five regant monarchs wiped the floor with the two Deity Lords as well as the Beast King, and finally declared war upon them, an entire two star Empire... by themselves, just four young ladies.

Rumor has it that the Beast King was given a choice, either he surrenders or they make a full invasion. Because after a year from now, they would regret it big time, for a forth powerhouse would make its debut.

The Beast King was not stupid. If the regant monarchs were peak Deity Lords, what of the Monarch himself? He was definitely a Deity King as well, an untouchable existence at his level even.

The second wonder had devastated the World Forest with ancient being prowess. Then what would the Green River Monarch do if they gained the same strength as him? Would they not terrorize the whole place?

"I really pity them, really. They don't even know that senior David is also a peak Ancient Deity. Just that he said he would only guard us and not fight for us." Lexi though as she flexed her limbs a bit, to remove any stiffness her body felt.

Then she stopped, and suddenly smiled bitterly, thinking about a terrifying topic, "And there will be an extra tens of Deity Kings in two years time, the World Forest, might as well humble themselves."

She was right, the Patron Lords, which were the generation below Lulu and the others were close to Deity king as well. The three previous Half Deities of Nia, the three sisters excluding Noelle, the father-daughter pair, the Pixie Lord and his son, then Lexi and her six sisters.

Sixteen in total. In fact some of the older Patron Lords had already become Deity Lords. Soquel and her three sisters, as well as Lulu, five in total. And that aside, there were also 500 Divine beings within Green River.

The number was small, but the overall strength of Green River could destroy the Beast Empire. Especially when one of their Deity Lords could fight tens of thousands of weaker leveled deific beings.

'Let's not forget that our Deity Lords could fight against a Deity King. And if we do have a Deity King, then wouldn't she be able to fight Ancient Deities?' Lexi thought. Like her older sister Nuu, she was addicted to calculating things.

But she was right, the current Green River, was unrivaled throughout the World Forest, perhaps even the Green Continent as a whole. And that was something she was unaware of... Maybe even the gang up of the whole World Forest would not suffice.

Another thing was, the Amazons and Venoterians were close by. And they had the Fragments that Enigma used to make gods. Would the uprising of the Green River show any limits? I guess we'll never know.

Central God Realm

Radiant Divine Empire, Capital City

Time went by and a month has gone by in the Divine Realm, Enigma and Allen had safely alighted with the group of Heroes, and they were within a descent inn of the Capital City of the Empire.

Enigma had invited Bella for a talk, of course at the dining hall. She wore a simple white one piece and wore a sunny hat despite being indoors. She seemed... both happy and disappointed?

Enigma cleared his thoughts and decided to start up on what he truly wanted to know. Since he was a recognized Demigod within this place, he will act like one to the bitter end. But first, he needed Intel.

"I'd like you to update me on the current structure and geography of the Empire. It's fine even if it's just simple brief up of everything." He asked. As for his identity, he bet on Fate being on his side.

"Why? Doesn't sir know about it? Unless... are you perhaps an ancient god from the prehistoric period, during the pioneering era of the primals?!" Bella exclaimed in a quiet voice as she guessed his identity.

"...."

'The power of Fate... is this terrifying? Even a lie can get so realistic without me doing anything.' He thought and thanked Fate in his heart, he owed her one for all the favors he was suddenly having.

Unfortunately, this was not Fate.

"Amazing..." Bella praised under her breathe, then as she saw his attention on her, she cleared her throat, her cheeks a light shade of pink due to shyness and embarrassment. She thus began explaining.

"Ahem, excuse me for the wait. The Radiant Divine Empire now has 4 Sections, the Dark Section, Light Section, Neutral Section and the Radiant Section, which acts as the entire core structure of the world.

"The biggest out of them is the Radiant Section, the one that we are currently at. It has five Cities, including the capital city. Each section has multiple civilizations ranging from those that rival worlds, to those that surpass them. And a single city surpasses them.

"The Civilizations are ranked in Tiers. A Tier One Civilization rivaling a world, and ruled by a Higher Deity, and Tier Five Civilizations having tens of Trillions of populations, ruled by Demigods. There are also higher Tiers ruled by Gods, strong Gods.

"Uhm, the geographical structure is not something I know about too well. I am not too versed into this topic... I heard that the structure of the Empire is like the head of a dragon though, with its maw widely opened."

Bella said, as she gestured with her hands, connecting both the bottom of her palms together, and spreading the fingers of both hands away from each other, as if illustrating a beast opening its mouth.

Apparently, the space in between the mouth of the beast, did not belong to the Empire, but the area above and below did. Enigma was curious why, but he did not ask. Instead, he let Bella continue with her words.

"But I do know that it's great, so great that even the Divine beasts, Monsters and the Foreign races found within the Monster section, will not recklessly attack the borders unless they want a prolonged and bitter war. Is... Is that good enough?" She worriedly asked.

"Superb. Thank you, I really appreciate it." Enigma smiled at her, though he looked sickly, he still had his charm. And it was top class even then, so it had more than an affect on someone like her.

"No... No problem!! Now if you will kindly excuse me." Bella believed in the ability she had to suppress her feelings, but her Providence always seemed to go against. Like right now, her heart was being disobedient!!

Her feelings suddenly got chaotic as she couldn't help imagine a few scenarios, causing her to hurriedly stand up with a blush on her face, albeit still with a straight face and a poker expression.

"Oh, I can accompany—"

"No need!!!" She hurriedly cut him off and ran away towards the stairs. Her straight face immediately crumbled at that point, his words just added more spice to the scenarios she had imagined in her head.

Everyone at the dining hall looked at him strangely as they thought that he was dumped, or had been abandoned by his woman. Even the system didn't expect this. 'Is this also Fate?' Enigma thought.

"...."

"...."
