Established Pinnacle: The Enigma
Chapter 282 Altria’s Struggle, Ragnarok II"As expected of eldest brother." The mass of air floating besides him said in praise. This was Qua, the younger brother of Stur and older brother of Yig.
"Indeed, eldest brother is the most talented among us." Yig exclaimed as well, hissing in excitement. Even his parents praised him for his talent.
"Youngest brother, don't be so humble, who doesn't know that your talent is greater than mine?" Stur seemed like an easy going guy and laughed out in joy and casually brushed over their praises.
He would not get arrogant. As he was at most a Heaven defying Genius. And it took him more than ten thousand years to reach the current level of power he was at. An inch away from breaking through.
His appearance was also more humane than the others. Being completely humanoid, seemingly no different than any other human out there.
"...haha, haha." Yig could only awkwardly laugh as that was true, but he felt like it wasn't the right moment for it to be said.
"In any case, younger brothers, you should all go out and take the vessel gods with you to experience the Ragnarok. Mother and father will protect you, while I Breakthrough and do the same later." Stur said, advising his siblings with a smile.
"Indeed, if any problems arise, I'll be there in no time." Byat said happily as she patted the head of Yig, who was a giant Serpent that was only a thousand years old.
"Mother..." Yig was annoyed, but didn't push her hand away. Qua laughed besides them and stood up to leave, without much effort at all, not surprising anyone.
"That child really resembles you a lot, dear." Byat looked at Diedrich as she said, who stood up and was ready to leave as well, just like that. He looked up at her with his many eyes and didn't comment.
He was antisocial because he was not good at conversing with others, and his true body would cause madness just by looking at him. While Qua was antisocial because he was lazy.
What resemblance was there between them? None, none at all!! He wanted to deny and say such a thing, but was afraid of hurting Byat's feelings.
Thus Diedrich just left. Followed by Stur, who unlike both men, said his goodbyes to his mother and younger brother. As well as greeting the sorounding vessel gods.
After walking for quite a while, Stur reached his room and locked it after he got in. He then lit the lights, revealing a dim room with shady purple and navy blue lights everywhere.
On the bed, there was a beauty who was casually lying there in bliss, as if enjoying the comfortness of the bed. She suddenly turned around when she heard him enter.
"Ah, little Stur, what happened, what did your father want?" She happily jumped off the bed and threw herself into his arms affectionately, then giving him a peck on the cheeks.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut Stur showed brief annoyance as he knew that hidden with this small and teenage body, was a goddamned old hag. But he also liked this old hag to be honest.
"Haah~ father told the others to go out and experience the small ragnarok. Nothing important for you to worry about. Anyway, where is the mirror?" He led her towards the bed and they comfortably sat side by side.
The young lady hurriedly stood up and fished out a small mirror within the wardrobe, then respectfully represented it to him. His expression almost broke down into disgust and laughter, but he held himself back.
He took the mirror and sent his Reiki through it, manifesting a screen of light above the surface of the mirror, which showed a heroic beauty taking a bath as she relaxed herself within a bathtub.
Besides her was a bottle of high qaulity whiskey, and her head was covered with a towel. Her exquisite body was perfect, and alongside her face, she was a rare beauty even among the gods.
"How rude." She didn't even face them when she said that, as if they were not worth her time. But that only enhanced her beauty, making men want to pin her down and make her submit.
But Stur didn't have such thoughts. Unlike the fake blushing little girl besides him, he directly looked at the women sternly, his eyes not wandering to her barely exposed, exotic body.
"Tch, for an otherworlder, your restraint is quite solid, you're no fun at all." The lady complained and took a small shot of her whiskey, before pouring yet another one.
"...Great Lady of Limitless Knowledge, I've called you for important matters." Stur frowned seeing her languid manner, but did not dare overstep his boundaries.
"Hmm?" She responded with a hum, and Stur cleared his throat to continue, he then explained what occurred between him and his family to her without hiding anything.
The beauty nodded her head, took another shot and said, "Your mother will die, your brother will die, your youngest brother will be spared. Your father... let's not include him."
Hearing her words, not only Stur, but also the young woman beside him paled in fright. She was still faking it though, but that was not important right now.
They knew this women for twenty years now, no, to be precise, the lady besides him knew her for twenty years, while he knew her for far much less.
And it was because of this young lady within the pool that the lady besides him managed to find this place and sneak in to find him without being found by his father.
She had also predicted many situations that occurred without fault at all. Making her seem mysterious, powerful and omniscient within all aspects.
But she denied all of these when he asked. Oh, she also knew that he was an Otherworlder, not a hero, but a being from beyond who had transmigrated into the son of two Transcendental Gods, and became one with his soul and experience.
Reincarnation and Transmigration were normal, but what made him different was that he replaced the original Stur, who had the same name and similar personalities, Becoming one with him to fit in.
And the only one who knew about this was himself and the young lady in the mirror. "...Why, what will happen to them?"
"Hm? Nothing much, they just decided to mess with someone even I, myself, put in high regards." She said after another shot, she seemed to be enjoying herself.
"...Is he the person that attained a Law Transcendent of all Laws?" Stur continued to pursue the matter, in which case, Athena, yes Athena, denied to continue. How cold she betray her own sister's future husband?
"...Why do you care, you aren't even really related to this family." She said in confusion, asking the same question she asked the previous times with much failure.
"I told you, I accepted them--"
"Hm, if you don't want to speak, then so be it. I won't listen to your bullshit... oh, I wonder what that monkey would do if he found out that another man laid his eyes on me before he did. Would he kill you?" She mischievously smiled, as if really curious what would happen to him, completely ignoring him.
Stur hurriedly disconnected the connection between them and looked up in worry. He genuinely did accept this family as his own, so he was wondering why that lady didn't believe him.
"Little Stur, what now?" The lady besides him worriedly asked, tightly grasping onto his hand with hers. And this time around, she was not acting or faking it.
"I have no choice, I'll have to go out as well, hopefully I will be able to do something." He lamented at his own Fate, which he had not changed even after Transmigrating.
"But..."
"...."

Within the God Realm, near the Boundary of Enigma's influence, the forest where two Transcendental Neutral Gods had visited in search of one one of the few Lords of Neutrality.
Near such a forest, a woman floated up within the sky, at least thousands to tens of thousands of kilometers above ground, and likewise, tens of thousands away from it.
But to a God, who could see through the veils of numerous Universes with a mere glance, such a distance was nothing much. And even if the God Realm restricted everything, she could still see a great distance.
To the current God Realm, a God capable of seeing through Trillions of Universes, would only be able to see through a single kilometer. That was how dense the Reiki and Will of the Realm was.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThus even peak Origin Gods like herself, whom are able to easily view through hundreds of millions of Multiverses, which was hundreds of Quintillion Universes... was only able to see through almost a billion kilometers.
Not even a single light year. And the restrictions the Gods faced, were only growing stronger and stronger as the Realms fused. Previously, she could see through a large percentage of the God Realm.
Her Gaze itself spanned over a hundred light years, and that was quite the feat, as the Rules of the God Realm transcended the Influence, Rules and Existence of Realities.
Thus her Gaze could see through Reality. But as the Rules became more stabilized and solidified, and the Realms fused, God's were slowly, bit by bit, being limited to what they could do within Realms.
Of course, it would be different if they were within an ordinary Reality. They could unleash their power without Restraint. But that was a topic for another day, as today, Altria's mission was not about the evolving Realms.
Instead, it was to learn about the death of one of her nephews, who died around here. She was only required to know what happened, and not engage in combat.
And that was what she planned to do, but as things were, she did not dare go any closer towards the forest. Not because there were quite a few Origin God-level auras around the forest.
Or because closest to the forest, was the aura of a genuine Transcendental. But no, those were not the reasons why she did not dare move closer to the forest. They did not even come close.
In fact, mostly everyone here shared the same reason as herself, for not going in. She did not know why they were here though, but she knew that... they did not dare go in because of the Aura of two Unfathomable Laws that were slowly dissipating.
She had just arrived to witness the outburst of a Law that could transcend Reality, being able to influence Reality to a great degree. A Law that would not be opposed by the Rules of Reality when used.
A Law that could make one a Cosmological God!! She just witnessed the birth of such a Law, and not just one, but two compatible such Laws one... after the other!!
"...."
That was madness. It was a great achievement, so great that, even the Transcendental God outside the forest did not dare to go in without understanding the overall situation.
And another reason was because, even the Will of a Transcendental God like himself, which could spread out for almost thirty light years, was not able to cover the whole forest right now.
It was quite small from the outside, being only the size of a world, but inside, it gave out the impression of being endless and infinite. It proved that a powerful being was located within this very forest.
And from his sense, he knew that this area was taken over by the Monster Gods, especially the Vampires whom were quite hateful. And speaking of Vampires...
"...."
One of the hateful Vampires just so happened to be within range of him. And as much as he wanted to know what was going on inside using his Divine Sense, he only failed.
Thus the only option left for him was to question the Vampires themselves. Of course, he would not go to their stronghold and question them there, as the Blood God was a Perfected Transcendental stronger than him.
