Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

Meanwhile...

"Are you sure she will be okay?" Florence asked the doctor Transcendental God of Healthcare and Life as she led her out of the palace, where Bella and Jue'er live now.

"Hm, she will not die at the very least... but unfortunately, her lifeforce is being absorbed by something within her that even I can't see through." The mature beauty with verdant green hair, and eyebags below her eyes, sighed.

She was an elf, one with a bountiful figure as well as a gentle expression. She looked no different than your everyday friendly aunt next door.

Her beauty was high class, being Transcendent Divine Charm, yet could not match those of Transcendent Goddesses of Beauty, or the likes of such beings. But as an Elf, she was still top class.

"...Are you sure it's not that necklace she refuses to take off?" Florence frowned as her suspicion rose, doubting Enigma once again. But her doubt was very well reasonable.

"Not at all... It's also not the boy." As if she could guess what Florence would ask next, she responded first warily. She was starting to wonder why this lass had such severe trust issues.

"...."

"In fact, the necklace is sending out power to try and fight against the thing absorbing her life-force, by draining the life-force of the sorounding area and giving it to her as sacrifice." She said.

"Though, with all my treasures that I planted there, she should be able to fight back for a few years at most. And that boy is also trying his best to supply her with support." The mature beauty added, causing Florence to feel a bit ashamed of herself.

It was just that she grew up with Bella, taking care of her until this day, and treated her as a sister. Because of this, she was a bit overprotective over her.

She couldn't help it. She was a Sis-con type, who would literally do anything for Bella. Yet now, all of a sudden, Bella was dying? How was she supposed to swallow that?

Suddenly a golden flash appeared before them as a heavily breathing John, who was now a Hero Lord, one realm below the current Florence. He appeared quite fast, like a ghost, and without catching his breathe, he said,

"He's... coming..." He said, holding his chest and taking the opportunity to catch his breathe. This showed how fast and long he was running. Even speedsters get tired, apparently.

"Whose coming?" The goddess of Healthcare and Life curiously asked, as she was wondering who this person that was coming was. Even Florence had failed to catch on fast.

"Lord En... I saw him... flying this side a few tens of trillions of miles from here..." He said, as he had catched some of his breathe. Even as a mere Hero Lord, he could travel at light speed.

"...!!!"

Florence was surprised and hurriedly left the palace, rushing towards the entrance. With Enigma's speed, she knew that he could cover that distance in no time.

He would arrive in a few minutes at most. The Transcendent Goddess of Healthcare and Life was intrigued. She had heard about this Lord En from the Cloud Palace, as a genius god, an ancient origin.

She was wondering how strong and handsome he looked. Don't get the wrong idea, she was just curious, nothing more, nothing less. 'Yes. Just an old lady's curiosity.' She thought. John also strolled after them.

But they all looked down on Enigma. With his stats and Main God Providence, then the Empyrean Technique increasing them over 12 years.

His stats were back to Reality, and mostly likely beyond. His maximum speed was comparable to him being Omnipresent within an entire Universe, via speed alone.

Which was 100 Billion Light years per Instant. Even without trying much, he was still explosively fast, choosing to be a million times faster than light.

And within thirty seconds, he had already appeared before the palace entrance, catching most of the gaurds and workers off guard with his speed and presence.

It had to be said, even the weakest person here, was a Deity Lord, especially since this was the Imperial Palace and all.

"My speed has really surpassed the norm. I'm really fast even without using any skills or enhancements, or even when I'm not even trying at all... Hm?" Enigma thought, but then suddenly looked down and saw the surprised expression of two powerful people.

Even the Transcendental Goddess of Healthcare and Life, who can proudly claim to be fast, knew that she could not cross such a large distance by herself at his Realm of power.

Yes, she could tell that he was a Demigod, as he was not trying to cover it up, like when he fought the former four Transcendent Gods. And there were no energy flanctuations around him.

He probably did not use any Skills, Law Boosts, Domain Boosts or any Enhancements!!!

"Florence, John? Its been quite a while hasn't it?" Enigma descended with a smile as he greeted two of his old friends, ones that he hadn't seen for over two years here.

"Lord En, welcome back." Florence respectfully lowered her head towards him, along with John. This speed was almost comparable to him, a speedster who recieved a million× boost to his speed from the Speed Force.please visit

"...Hm. I'm back, so, how have you guys been?" Enigma wasn't as awkward as before, but he still felt like he didn't deserve this respect. Thus, he tried to brush it off with another topic.

"We don't have time to talk, Bella needs your help." Florence looked up at him and sternly responded while disregarding his greeting, surprising both Enigma and the Transcendent Goddess of Healthcare and Life.

'Am I not enough, a Transcendental Goddess of Health and Life?' She thought.

'What am I to you? God Almighty?' Enigma thought as well. But he didn't joke around, and hurriedly walked over.

"Where is she?" He sternly asked back. He came back for her and En Jue after all. And until they were safe, he would have to ignore everyone else for the time being.

"It's useless, you can't save her." The goddess of Healthcare said. She didn't mean any harm and was trying to warn them. She also didn't like when unprofessional people tried to disturb her patients.

"I'm sorry, who are you miss?" Enigma paused and politely inquired, with a light smile as usual. Along with charm, and the passive effect of his "Primal Charm", he managed to cause her heart to flutter.

"...My name is Hilda, the Transcendent Goddess of Healthcare and Life, Medicine and Vitality. And who may you be, sir?" Though she felt wary due to his charm, that felt like it could manipulate her feelings, she politely greeted him back as well.

"Enigma, the... God of Fate and Destiny. Nice to make your acquaintance, now if you dont mind, may I please see Bella?" Enigma also greeted her and introduced himself before getting to the point.

Hilda was silent for a moment before replying back to him, "...I don't mind, but only those who are considered family can see the patient. May I ask, what is your relationship with the patient?"

Florence and John were on standby. They felt like they couldn't interfere in matters of Gods. After all, Enigma's presence was not losing to that of Hilda right now.

Meanwhile, Enigma was speechless. Though he had thought about it and decided that she was a potential candidate, he had never thought it through. Her position in his heart was still ambiguous.

"...."

His silence caused everyone to look at him, and they could see the bitter smile on his face, thus giving them a hint of their relationship.

Enigma thought about it, but no matter what, his heart wasn't moved regardless of how much he tried to move it. It seemed like he carried no feelings for her currently, or rather, were still insignificant to mention.

Luckily, it also seemed like he wasn't repulsed by her too. In fact, he had a very high favorability of her, alongside Lulu and Cheryl. Just that he wasn't sure they would work out as a couple.

He was afraid that without feelings, he might get tired of them at some point eventually, thus abandoning them, making it seem like he was only using them. 'That isn't good at all. And unlike me.' He thought.

"...I'm not really sure..." He ended up there. He really wasn't sure, as there was no term to describe what he currently felt towards other women, no, all women in general.

"...It's fine if you're not really sure of it yourself. At least it shows that you don't hate her at the least, she still has a chance." Hilda sighed and opened way for him to pass.

"...."

"...."

"...."

"But one word of advice. If you truly do want to accept her, do so with a steadfast will, and it's the same vice-versa. Don't make half-assed decision that might come biting back at you." With that, she led the way towards Bella's room.

"...."

And those sudden words genuinely affected Enigma as he begin to think about all the thoughts he had so far on this topic. He thought about how far he was willing to be in a relationship.

He was indeed indecisive when it came to this topic, but he was new to this, and there was nobody to guide him through it. He was afraid of making mistakes he would regret.

But... would he regret it if its really something that he wants? Of course, mistakes are a must, but if he truly wishes to progress with them, then they wouldn't bring him down, but instead sharpen him up.

Yes. If he really wanted to try this polygamy thing, he didn't need Louise's thoughts. All he needed was his own thoughts first, and hers second.

Whether it works out or not, he will see later in the future. For now, the question wasn't whether he liked them or not, but if this was truly what he wanted... Was it?

He thought along the way, and he still could not come to a conclusion. Luckily unlike other times, this time around, he only needed a reason to tell whether this was what he wanted or not.

And he could find that out by spending time with the girls, assessing theirs and his feelings as time goes by. Hm, he now had a way forward, and if it doesn't work out, he tried, and he still had Louise.
