Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

Intrigued, Veritas held up her hand and pinched the air, then she summoned a screen of light that showed a Projection of the God Realm, within an insignificant place.

Within the Projection, three boys stood in the air and battled a large being, the Goddess of Abomination. The projection was blurry, as if an old-still-functioning television was about to lose its connection any moment.

One of the boys stood ahead and rushed forward towards the Ancient Goddess. His speed was far less comparable to hers, but he could teleport and timely dodged her attacks.

Sometimes, he teleported to directly appear before her and landing an attack. Though she felt no pain, she was thrown away from the sheer force of the attack.

Following that, another young boy, golden haired, appeared above her, smashing her down using his large staff.

There was no sounds effects, but the Ancient Goddess was smashed down cleanly and created a large crater. The boy hurriedly pulled back after the attack.

What followed his departure was a rain of falling lightning, hail, torrential water, multiple ice shards and many other weather phenomenas at the extraterrestrial level.

Fortunately, the Ancient Goddess managed to escape by striking the powers away using her divine might. She then stood up in rage and rushed towards the top-less boy.

The boy did not move, instead, a golden flash fell from the sky and fell towards her. And with unpredictable fast reflexes, she stopped and pulled back timely.

But right at the moment, the boy disappeared and reappeared before her. He thrust his palm forward, powerfully at that, thus projecting her backwards at rapid speed.

A giant then abruptly hugged her from behind with its four arms. And without giving her a chance, it pushed out its chest and bent its back, giving her a powerful suplex, shattering the sorounding region.

The giant then vanished as fast as it appeared, followed by a falling dragon made out of lightning, seemingly sentient.

It struck her and destroyed a large area, inflicting damage on her. But they were not done, the golden haired boy appeared once again, like a wraith, and struck her on the side of her stomach like a baseball.

Before she could be thrown away by the momentum, a powerful thunderbolt struck her on the stomach, sending her backwards right after disrupting her initial momentum, and exchanging it for this current force.

But even then, before the momentum from being struck by lightning could completely gather, the white clothed boy covered in golden lightning appeared above her and struck her down.

For the first time, his normal punch caused her to spit out a mouthful of blood and knocked her out completely.

And right as she struck the floor, the boy also spat out a mouthful of blood.

The unusual universal glow around his hand died off as he slowly descended. The other boys appeared around him and held him carefully so that he doesn't fall.

Then the top-less boy began reprimanding the white clothed boy, while the golden haired boy nodded passively without saying anything from the sides.

But a moment later, the top-less boy frowned and looked up, as if directly looking at the two women looking at them from the future!!

"...."

"...."

Both Goddesses were surprised and exchanged glances. Then they saw the boys continue speaking. Veritas frowned and activated the sound function of her ability.

["—felt like we've been spied on. I can't explain it, because it feels like these people are here but not here at the same time. Like an illusion forged through time?"]

The top-less boy said and the golden haired boy responded with a question, ["Could it be a God spying on us from the future?"]

["...."]

The white clothed boy kept quiet and seemed to do something as he pinched the air, an action similar to that of Veritas. Both Gods frowned once again.

He then laughed and opened his mouth to say something to the top-less young man, ["It seems a pair of Goddesses were peeping on us from the future. Brother, you're really amazing."]

The top-less boy ignored him and frowned instead. Seeing this, the white clothed young man averted his eyes immediately, and cleared his throat.

["...did you just use another Divine Skill? Dammit dude, how many times must I tell you not to overextend your body. We are not yet rea—"]

The Projection ended there as Veritas waved it off. She then smiled and looked at Scien, "Are they perhaps the people you were talking about? They really are talented... And a bit peculiar."

"...Yes, it's them. I just didn't think they were so strong, coordinative and so easy going. I also heard that two people had awakened Laws four months ago, while another did so three months ago."

"...How talented. Help me find a way to put their names on the Divine Board, officially signing them up as Gods of Great Terra when they genuinely prove themselves. As for the other details, I'll deal with them."

"But... I'm not sure if that will work. With a Divinity, they can increase their laws faster through Prayers, but will the other Gods agree to this?" Scien asked after some hesitation and serious consideration.

Veritas didn't say anything and only smiled, then pulled out a small bag of snacks and began to eat them. "I believe in you, I believe you can do it, since it's you we are talking about. So, you go girl. Go and impress me.

"And a lot of Gods will die with this purge, throw away a lot of the useless and simple Divinities as inheritances within the Mortal Worlds, and keep the more complex and unique ones for the people of the Cloud Palace.

"After all, we have to manage the God Realm because, during the third wave of the Cataclysm, the Decadents from the Abyss, the Demon Union from Hell, the Holy Cathedral from Heaven and the Wardens of Purgatory will descend as well.

"The Battle of a Thousand Gods will begin, thus ensuring slaughter to most living beings. And as the main origin of Godhood, it is our job to keep everything under control.

"So, we must have plenty of powerful Gods on our side... Oh, let most of the rain of Providence fall on the God Realm to nurture more Gods as well. We mustn't let the mortal world Calamity to progress before we are ready.

"Make sure Bellum only kills a maximum of a ten Transcendental Gods, anymore and I'll tell on him, transfer the message to him when you guys meet for another round." She concluded there while standing up, preparing to leave.

Her last words were directed along with a wink, which caused Scien to cover her face in embarrassment. This was Vrtitas true personality... and not the emotionless, strict Ancient Goddess.

"Yes ma'am." Scien hurriedly nodded and stood up to do as she was told. She didn't know what Veritas had in plan for the Cloud Palace, but it was definitely big.

After Scien left, Veritas snapped her hands and instantly changed outfits, now wearing a noble dress and a black sunny hat, covering her face and only revealing her purple lips. She went for a semi-gothic style.

"Little Gloom, I wonder, when will your plan fail? Through the hands of your wife, son or brother? Who knows, perhaps those that gave you your power will take it back... I'm really curious."

She mysteriously thought, and opened a portal with a swipe of her hand. Then she walked in, startling the young man within, so much that, he fell from his chair in shock.

"Don't fret young prince, I am not your enemy. I just only want one favor from you." She spoke as her black dress glimmered with a hint of starlight for a moment.

"F-Favor?" Reynold gulped down his saliva and inquired with a stutter. He knew this woman. She was someone even his father showed boundless respect towards.

Veritas nodded to his inquiry and spread out her hands, forming a large scale above her, on one side, it had infinite darkness, while the other side had endless light.

"I am the messenger of Day and Night of the Age of Old, as well as the Lady of Hope assigned by the Four Extreme Emperors... I believe, I've now earned your trust, young History Mender." She said, briefly glancing at him from the corner of her hat.

"...!!!"

He stared at her in shock and perplexion. Why was it that every person he meets, knows about him and his system? What happened to there only being two?!

[....]

Veritas sat before Reynolds within the living room. She looked around, and nodded in praise as he didn't seem to be a dull young man. His study was quite descent. As well as proper in aesthetic.

As for Reynolds, he was trembling greatly as he didn't know where to put his eyes. He was also shocked from her words, wondering why everyone knew he had a system.

What the hell was a system even, was it not a secret power beyond everything!!??

[....]

"Don't mind me, young future savior of worlds, go ahead and read the Fragments I have bestowed." Veritas smiled at him to try and make him feel at ease, and possibly alleviate the depressive mood.

But Reynolds would prefer that she kept quiet. That way, he could at least pretend she wasn't there and ignore her presence!!!

[12. Primordial Gaurdian: Not long after the rise of the Four Extreme Emperors, a point collaboration between the Desolate beings plummeted the world in desolation. The Sixteen Emperors were forced to create weapons in the form of Seventy-two children, who will later become the overseers of their inhetitance. Each child blessed with a responsibility Unique to themselves, that still stands strong even unto this day. And one of the most important ones, was called the Primordial Gaurdian... @#@$]

[19. Day and Night: Eternal Night had never left her domain ever since her birth, leading to her being ignorant and numb to the world. She was pulled out of her ignorance and Shackles of darkness by Eternal Day, who brought light to her vision, showing her what her true body hid from her, as she brought light to his vision, and showed him the darkness of the world. This was also a saving grace of the future, unfortunately, they vanished out of existence some time later. Their vanishing signifying the Cataclysm of Day and Night, resulting into the birth of Primordial Dusk and Primordial Dawn... @#@$]

'Two new Fragments!! This lady was able to give me two fragment by just introducing herself, she must be powerful... and greatly important.' Reynolds thought as he stole a few glances at Veritas.

Veritas ignored this and instead snapped her fingers, summoning two beings who bowed to her and began serving her tea out of nowhere.

Their presence being more terrifying than anything he had ever sensed, aside from his father's Aura, as well as his uncle's. They were not Higher Gods at the least!!

"Now, for that favor." She said, bringing Reynold back to attention. He gulped down the saliva in his throat and wondered what she wanted from someone like him.

"I would like to have a chance to meet the reincarnates of my... predecessors." She said, surprising him by quite a bit. He did not seem to catch on her words clearly.

But a moment later, he couldn't help but bitterly laugh, "I'm not sure if that will be possible, in fact, they might not even remember you miss. Do you still want to meet them?"

Veritas nodded her head and did not comment. Reynolds frowned and stood up, "Allow me to go and call one of them, please excuse me."

"Hm." She nodded once again and began taking a sip from the newly made tea that was served to her. 'Regardless if they remember me or not, I must do my job right.'
