Chapter 316 Czech, Child Of Ragnarok

"...You... You..." Killer could not help but open her mouth to speak, yet nothing came out. Everything happened too fast, and likewise unexpected.

Enigma finally turned to look at her after twenty minutes of hard work, as he let out a dazzling gentle smile, one that made her flinch back, "Hey, ever thought of being a mother?"

And his words were quite the terrifying ones.

"...Excuse me?"

"Hm. You really are cute." Enigma nodded to himself, then turned to look at the now renovated and expanded Universe. His... Universe.

Meanwhile, "You... You... I'll be damned... I'll be damned if I don't get to strike you down by lightning today!!!" Killer buzzed with rage and humiliation.

Her Thunder Law was activated, as under the help of the Rune Law, she generated Lightning capable of affecting even Gods. Origin Lightning that shattered the Void slightly.

"Ah, hahaha, maybe... maybe I overdid it?" Enigma thought, as he saw her lightning grow Chaotic, resembling Spatial storms capable of tearing apart even galaxies like pieces of paper.

BOOOM!!!

~~~

Within the Origin Universe

Atop the Auspicious Clouds of Fortune

Two beings sat cross-legged face to face, in silence. One wore pure white, with his silver-gray long hair, and the other wore pure black clothes, with her navy blue long hair.

Both were exceedingly beautiful, being above the ordinary standards of Divine beauty. Of course, they were Enigma, the creator of this World, and Killer... the first parasite of this world.

"I said I'm sorry." Killer said first, as without any hint of Pride or Stubbornness, lowered herself to apologize for the nth time.

She was cold and distant, but also believed herself to be mature. She did not want to act like a child, nor a spoiled brat, when she knew she was in the wrong.

So, she just apologized.

"Hm. I heard you loud and clear, parasite." Enigma nodded as he sat before her, his hands crossed before his chest.

"Don't call me that..." Killer softly said, as she did not want to bicker with him. Especially since she still felt a bit guilty inside.

"Hm. I won't... pervert." Enigma shrugged his shoulders as he easily changed how he referred to her, without arguing back, which almost made Killer want to strike him down again.

But she held back. She tried her best.

"I said. I am. Sorry." She spoke through gritted teeth, as one could literally hear Thunder roaring within her stomach, unwilling to be unfaily suppressed like this... by a man to boot.

But Enigma only smiled at her reaction. He got struck down by lightning so powerful, it could rip apart a normal Universe. But he felt not even a tickle from it.

His defenses were still quite high.

As for why she was considered a parasite... it was because she acted like one. Parasites were insignificant things that were, mostly, not good for/to whatever they are affecting.

Trying to destroy them from inside out. Killer's Wrath, was similar, almost. As if this Universe was still just an Origin Universe, it would be damaged greatly by that attack of hers.

At most by 50%. And she would have done something resemblant of what a parasite would do to their victims - internal destruction.

So, he called her that.

Then for the pervert one... Well, he was also at fault to be honest, but was he gonna admit that? Yes, yes he was;

"Fine, it's also my fault that my words came out a bit too... ambiguous." Enigma smiled bitterly as he spoke, blaming his carelessness. Even with great consciousness, he still...

Haaah~

"Yeah, who would have thought that you meant to adopt a kid? A very, very big child. I thought you meant... you know..." Killer also sighed as she tried to explain herself, with a frown on her face.

"Pervert..."

"Hey!!!"

"My bad, my bad." Enigma laughed at her reaction as she tried her very best to hide away her embarrassment. "How cute..."

"I'll strike you down."

"My apologies." Enigma did not laugh this time, and only smiled. Then, he looked down, his gaze bypassing the Auspicious Clouds as they revealed the numerous Galaxies below.

And alongside them, there was a crystallized being the size of a single Universe floating within the vast endless, almost empty space with boundless curiosity.

The little guy, now that he was not under any threat, or that his parent had no need for him, he was acting his supposed age.

Like the child he was.

Of course, being born a God, a Transcendental God even, he was quite intelligent, and likewise had basically almost zero emotional fluctuations that a child should have.

But he still held deep curiosity deep within his being, like newborn babies who were amazed at the world that is not their mother's womb.

And this guy, was actually more curious because this was a place created by his parent as well. His older sibling!! The differences between them amazed him.

Yet he still saw the vast almost endless Universe as his older sibling. As for their genders? He took the pronouns of "he", as even his parent saw him as a boy.

But he had no gender.

Whilst he saw this older sibling of his, as a her, just because of a feeling he had. And he would believe in that feeling.

...???

He suddenly felt a gaze from above, as he knew that his parent, was watching him. He did not look up, nor did he pause what he was doing, continuing his exploration.

"So... what about it? Wanna be a mother?" Enigma asked after averting his gaze from the little guy. One day, he would bring Jade here to meet this guy.

"Please... change your wordings. Haiy~" Killer helplessly sighed at Enigma's constant attack at her emotions, but she realized that she did not actually dislike it.

But she would never admit that.

"It's not bad, is it? I mean, I'm willing to give you 40% ownership to this Universe, free Absorption to the Laws, and other rights as well. All you have to do is just take care of it." He shrugged as he responded.

"Alongside the child down there, treat them... I don't know... like a mother, maybe? Anything to not make them feel abandoned, or forsaken. I'm also willing to allow you access to the Laws in exchange."

"Via my Authority, you can use the Laws that affect this Universe. All five Absolute Laws, and the other forty-one Ultimate Laws that will grow in due time. Even the Ultimate Law of Creation." Enigma said, speaking like a business man offering endless pros towards a business partner, a slight mischievous grin on his face.

"...."

Killer frowned, as she knew that, logically, she should agree to this. But then again, she still wondered why he was willing to go so far for her. It was definitely not for taking care of the World.

"Honestly it is." Enigma said, then after being stared at, with killing intent flowing within her cold blue eyes, he lowered his head, "My apologies, I will not do it again."

"...."

Killer sighed. There was no privacy here, even as a Goddess. Geez...

But the offer was really not that bad. And, if she stayed here, she could grow faster, while barely any time passed by within the God Realm.

And she was innately talented to begin with. With the boost of potential, she could perhaps even rival those Favoreds born with the Favor of the Ancients.

And them the 120 000 boost to cultivation, she could even perhaps surpass them!! Ascending the Realm of Gods might be as easy as pie for her at that point.

She could finally be like those protagonists that do the impossible, within a short period of time, compared to the norm. A heaven defying prodigy!!!

"...."

Enigma did not say anything. He did did read her mind either, and just watched her curiously. He subconsciously compared her to a few other women he knew.

Bella, Lulu, Cheryl, Louise, wondering who amongst them was more beautiful, physically and personality wise.

Unfortunately, to Killer, it seemed as if he was staring at her lovingly, especially with that gentle smile on his face. Which brought unneeded thoughts to her mind.

Such as... maybe he did this because of Lo-–

"Okay okay, that's it, stop staring too much. You're creeping me out." Killer suddenly blushed, as it was hard to tell whether due to embarrassment or shyness.

But that blush was accompanied by a frown, and slight... anger. So Enigma chose that it was definitely embarrassment.

"...."

He was about to say something as an apology, or an excuse, but Killer beat him to it, "Leave... hurry up and leave, before I change my mind and strike you down by lightning."

'...What did I do?' Enigma, a bit confused, vanished and reappeared before the newborn Transcendental, whom Killer named Czech, when she saw him. Her reasons were unknown.

He didn't even ask, cause he liked the name. His naming sense... needed a bit more improving.

"Hey big guy, let's have a talk, okay?" Enigma floated closer to Czech, his hands held behind his back. He liked this fellow because he felt like his birth was unfortunate.

Being the child of Ragnarok, where ever he goes from now on, Gods would fall, one way or another. He would be hated, and ostracized by the other Gods... making him feel left out.

Thus, he as the parent, had to make sure the little guy does not feel left out. Especially by his own family. Which is why he needed someone to watch over him...

After all, Enigma knew that none of his daughters were lonely. Jade had him. Noctis had Louise. Diey, actually also had someone he himself had yet to know, Michu and Michelle had Cheryl.

And thus... this guy, Czech, will have Killer.

"...."

Funny how all of them have 'mothers'. He could be considered Jade's mother in this case. 'Anyway, let us not think much about that, for now.' He thought.

Meanwhile, Killer was left above the Auspicious Clouds having her own thoughts.

Worst of all, for the first time, her heart beat fast, and she didn't know why. It was definitely not fear, and she definitely would not admit that it was romantic interest.

Never!!!

"...."

She watched as Enigma spoke with Czech, and subconsciously, even beknowest to herself, she was staring a bit too much at Enigma.

But because Enigma did not turn around to stare back, she was not aware of that. Thus, for a whole minute or two, she stared, and only stared at him, confused.

Until he waved at Czech, then glanced at her direction, before vanishing out of this Universe. His last glance brought her back to reality as she realized what she had done.

"...Fuck." This was her biggest fear when dealing with Enigma, and she did not expect to succumb so soon. How shameful!!!

"EEEENNNNN!!!" She let out such a cry of unwillingness and humiliation, to slightly calm down and sort out her thoughts. She did not know what else to say, really.

She never knew love. Through both lifetimes.

「....」

Czech stared up and cluelessly scratched his head. He was told to treat the woman above as his parent as well, a mother of sort.

But... was that alright?
