Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

John and Florence saw through his conflicted expressions and thus didn't say anything. A man had to manage his own family, unless he wasn't worthy to be called a man.

"We are here." Hilda said as she opened the door to one of the innermost rooms they had appeared to. Causing a fresh breeze to blow towards them.

And within, it seemed like a miniaturized garden of nature. Small and friendly animals, greenery everywhere as well as trees and springs, a blue sky and fluffy white clouds.

And there, lying in the middle of all of this was the young beauty, Bella. Her appearance was still a bit short and cute, but now she seemed to be a whole degree thinner.

Her complexion was pale, and her breathing was barely stable. Seeing her like this, Enigma temporarily threw away his thoughts about the future that might not even happen as he moved over.

Florence and Hilda didn't say anything or stop him. They knew that the relationship between these two was ambiguous, especially Florence, who knew that Enigma had a wife out there.

He moved over and saw En Jue, who was around 2-3 years old in appearance as he kept sending silver energy towards Bella, keeping her condition stable.

He sat down besides them and gently held her hand. He wasn't aware of his feelings because he believed he had none, or were not strong enough to show interest in others, or let him open up to others.

But he was sure, and aware of the fact that he didn't like this. He didn't want to see her like this, for some reason, this appearance of her didn't sit well with him. En Jue was dissatisfied!!

"...."

Enigma paid no attention to the boy, and kept looking at Bella for quite a while before gently putting her hand down and helplessly summoning a pair of pure white plain combat gloves.

"What are you doing?" Florence asked as she saw Enigma casually putting on the gloves with a light smile on his face, her trait kicking in as she was getting suspicious of him.

"No weapons allowed." Hilda also said with a frown. They couldn't be blamed, as who in their right minds would wear a pair of combat gloves while checking out a patient?

"Calm down, I'm looking for a specific ability of these weapons." Enigma bitterly said as he could feel Florence and Hilda's glares on him. He understood their caution.

With a helpless shake of his head, he put his hand wearing the glove above her forehead, and entered deep concentration. Florence and Hilda didn't stop him now.

And as he concentrated, pure white aura drifted out of her body, converging before him into a book that had a white cover and a chaotic design to it.

After that, he opened his eyes and glanced at the book, that was manifested by one of the abilities of the now evolved Serenity in his hands, a Superior Divine Skill that put a strain on him.

Indeed, this gloves were now too powerful. Even Hilda flinched slightly at the appearance of their presence. Ruinic weapons weren't cheap after all, they were far from it. Being treasures even to Creators and those above.

For example, with the Manifestation of [Author's Providence], Enigma was able to create a book that described Bella's life, which had quite the unique genre of Tragedy.

And though he had Absolute Level Laws of Fate and Destiny, he could not use them to their full abilities, as he was not an Elder Divinity. Now, back to Bella.

He ignored the multiple genres that made her life seem more like a horror movie, and began reading the important part of the book, the current timeline.

"Final Chapter: And as the princess of Chaos lies down within the domain of the Goddess of Healthcare and Life, she finally manages to give birth to a young and healthy boy, who was the Manifestation of Chaos, a Lesser Behemoth, to this Reality, succeeding in its scheme. Unfortunately, the birth of Chaos came at the cost of the death of the princess of Chaos—"

'I see.' He didn't continue reading any longer and directly erased the whole chapter. He wasn't going to read about how Chaos succeeded in its schemes and how Bella died.

But then again, he didn't know what to write. He couldn't just write that Chaos was never here or anything of this never happened at all.

He could only change one chapter, and it was unfortunate that the only affectable chapters were this one. Since the other chapters have already happened, changing them was impossible, unless he used his Space-Time Law once again to affect everything.please visit

It would affect the present greatly, and negatively at that. It was also unfortunate that the chapter began with her death, which cut of many paths to change.

"...."

"Are you... okay? Do you need help?" Florence frowned as she looked at his strange and complicated expression, one that seemed unsure and bitter.

"...No. It's just that... hey brat, you care about her don't you?" He could not answer her questions, and suddenly turned to Jue'er and asked, who nodded back without saying anything.

"In thay case, can I—" But before he could even finish his words, the boy shook his head greatly and pulled back, showing his stance in the matter. "Me. Child. Forget it."

He said.

"...."

"What's going on? Can you do it or not?" Florence was getting impatient and interrogated with a stern tone.

"I can." He responded lightly.

"Then...?"

"It's just that... she's carrying Chaos within her womb, who is absorbing her genes and life force with every passing moment. Developing like any other ovum within a human body, but at a faster pace." He said, causing Hilda to nod at his words.

She also realized that, and Florence was also told about it. Unfortunately, the child and Bella were now connected, removing it would kill her, and leaving it inside will still kill her. Their chances were limited. If they had any to begin with.

"So...?" She pursued.

"So... I can actually use a higher bloodline to mix it up with the developing embryo, creating a sort of Bloodline Suppression that suppresses it from going overboard, meaning that it will offset the Bloodline of something Monstrous beyond comprehension, while keeping her alive at the same time." Enigma proposed, yet his tone seemed reluctant reluctant continue.

But he still added, "This will cause the baby to take years, maybe decades, and even centuries to appear. But on the bright side, both get to exist, and the child won't kill the mother." He said, looking ahead blankly.

"And then...?" Florence continued pursuing the matter, pressuring him into continuing with his words, bitterly at that.

"But, either than my Bloodline, or any other ancient origin's Bloodline or a Supreme Being's Bloodline, will not be able to suppress that thing. No, maybe even mine would only be temporarily." He added.

"...."

Florence was slowly understanding where this was going. In simple terms, Bella would give birth to a child, who will carry both their bloodlines?

Unfortunately, Enigma had a fiancee, and he seemed to be the kind who was devoted to her. No wonder his tone was bitter, but Florence wouldn't give up.

"Please." She went down on her both knees and lowered her head to the floor, begging without hesitation. "Please do anything to save her, I'll do anything to repay you, even if it means being your slave for life."

"Oh my~" Hilda was shocked, and intrigued, by this development and sat this one out, deciding to watch from afar. She was a Goddess from the Light Pantheon, of course she'd help.

But under normal circumstances. Sometimes even they do not just jump into everybody's matters first hand. Except the Bastard Light God who is full of justice.

"...There's no need for this drama, I also care about little Bella... at least, that's what I want to think. And I genuinely don't like her like this, for some reason. It's uncomfortable..." He said, looking at Bella directly.

"...."

"I don't know why, but I'll solve it another day. For now, I guess we'll have to extend her life using my Bloodline to suppress that little guy from feeding off her any longer." He added, as he began writing down his "Will".

"...."

Florence was surprised by his words, and was also moved. She always felt like Enigma was taking advantage of Bella's feelings for him to let her do things for him.

Liking taking care of Jue'er

Taking care of him.

But now, she finally realized that Enigma might be more... complicated that he let out. He might not be emotionally stable inside, or might not have found himself yet. He was decisive even towards himself.

No man would be as complicated as him. They would either take in a second wife, or stay true to being a bachelor around other women. But Enigma was drifting between those two. Or maybe more.
