Chapter 342 Devouring A Divinity

Divinities.

This was a concept Enigma had grown up with ever since arriving at this Dimension. From "Divinities" that mortals used to define the deities as, then "Divinities" to what the Outer beings use to determine each other's authorities, and now, to "Divinities" that he could create.

But if he thought carefully about it, all three definitions correlate to the sane thing; an authority unique to only powerful people, that designates a unique status to them and only them alone.

Those... were Divinities. And Enigma's own "Divinities", allowed one to grasp power from an first ever source of power for that certain Divinity. For example, Origin Chaos and Origin Void, were the first Chaos and first Void.

Constructs of immense power and glory. And that made one wonder, would creating such an object destroy the very balance of the world? Would this do any justice to this already ending Ragnarok?

Enigma was curious. He was curious because this thing was apparently at the peak of the Greater Chaos. An Aspect that was above Chaos, being the overall collection of the Chaotic Seas where all Chaos float within.

And because of the that, he believed that the boost from absorbing two of these "Divinities", would be grand right? That was something Enigma was curious to find out, but first, he'll absorb one of them.

"You have used [Encompass Greed] and [Divinity Devouring] on the Chaos Divinity. You have recieved 50 thousand Reiki units, 35 billion units of divine power units, ×100 Overall Stats and huge amounts of essence. Your have comprehended the essence of your Chaos Mystery"

Enigma absorbed the Chaos Divinity, and felt his entire body explode out with waves of Chaos and power. Essence that were far beyond his current realm of power. But being a True being, his body easily devoured them.

"Amazing, I've never felt this euphoric before. This is a never before felt feeling... a new experience for me..." He couldn't help but smile, no, release a devilish smile of content subconsciously.

The feeling of getting stronger, and getting closer to achieving his goal was new. And it was so fulfilling he wondered what he had been thinking in the past when he always complained and just idled around.

'Ambition? Is this perhaps it?' He thought, not aware of the answer to that thought himself. But regardless, whatever it was, he didn't hate it.

...Well that Power came for no reason, which was different than now, which he needed it to go against his Ragnarok. And to protect what he deems worth protecting.

"But this is not enough... I'm still far from being strong enough..." He thought, as he looked at his missions, sub missions to be precise, and the one that made him wary was still there.

"Survive Through The Initial Phase of Your Ragnarok(SSS+ -> SSS)"

That small decrease in difficulty did not mean anything. If an S-class mission could give Main Gods trouble, then what about an SSS-class mission?

You got it right, it was something only Creator True Gods, the current peak strength of the 108 Palaces had to face against. Something Enigma was ten major realms away from.

"Hm, I'm still weak, so let's continue." He thought and piled up the remaining twelve Empty Shards, one Shard of Blood, which he remembered that it came from some god he killed two years ago.

And lastly, the Void Divinity. All of them were piled up right before him, ready to be absorbed and argumentate his strength by another degree... hopefully.

"Hehe, I wonder, How strong will my peak be at this rate? Definitely greater than my future self." He couldn't help such a thought, which, unlike usual, brought a smile to his face.

At the same time, he activated both his skills, resulting in his right hand turning into silver liquid form and spread all over the Shards and Divinity, slowly dissolving them.

While his left hand released a burst of silver mist that sorounded the now-melting core, Devouring it during the process.

Everything occurred at the same time, and beknowest to him, above the skies of the whole Heavenly Divine Realm, dark clouds had descended and every God felt their heart palpitating for no reason.

From Transcendental to Origin Gods, they felt the threat of Death, while Cosmic Beings looked up at the sky with helplessness. As none of them had a right to intervene. This... was the birth of a natural disaster even the Gods couldn't fight back against.

A Major Ragnarok.

Cloud Palace

Residence of Truth

"I can't believe things are progressing this fast... at this rate, father's reincarnate might gain the same strength as us despite being of a lower league." An exceededingly beautiful women sipped in her coffee and said.

It was the Goddess of Truth, who had not been doing anything either than watching Enigma all this while. Besides her was the Goddess of Wisdom, Scien, who dared not do something as disrespectful as that.

"He now knows about the past, what will you do?" She sat besides her senior sister and fed her fruits as usual, while meekly inquiring about her thoughts.

"Nothing. In fact, I'm thinking of visiting my younger sisters and spoiling them a bit. I like the one called Jade." Veritas casually replied, not oozing out the presence of a Cosmic being, or an Ancient Goddess.

And Scien could do nothing but stare in stupification at her senior sister, who is usually elegant and noble. 'What do you mean by visiting your younger sisters? He hadn't acknowledged you as his daughter yet, has he?' She thought.

"...."

Veritas ignored her junior, who could be considered Athena's disciple in a sense, and continued with her words, "And I have to be there when my youngest brother is born."

"What about the Truth Residence?" Scien asked once again, looking around at the beings within the Truth Residence, where the weakest was a Lesser Deities, and a few Gods as well.

"I'm moving with it." Veritas said, surprising Scien, who tried to tag along as well, "In... In that case, c–can I come too?"

"Do your mission first."

"...Yes." She pouted her mouth and kept feeding her senior sister fruits, thinking about how a certain someone was enjoying himself taking care of his own younger sister. 'Bellum... this is all your fault.' She thought.

Not only were these two beings conversing about Enigma, many others also had conversations about this disaster as well, especially the two pantheons as well as the invading demons.

Everyone was debating on what caused such an occurence, arguing amongst each other, creating discord and discontence, a step to Chaos, that was spreading all over the Realm.

And the starting point of this silently spreading Chaos was where Enigma was, who couldn't believe the amount of Essence that were roiling up around him due to his actions.

"You have used [Encompass Greed] and [Divinity Devouring] on 13 Shards of Divinity and one Void Divinity. You have recieved 245 thousand Reiki units, 230 billion units of divine power units, ×1 150 Overall Stats and massive amounts of essence"

"You have reached the upper limit of strength your current Realm (Main) can attain. Thanks to your massive amounts of essence and Main God Providence, your limit has increased to an exponential degree"

"...This one is new, and a limit to my strength? I guess True Will won't let me break the system, and still wants me to continue promoting myself huh." Enigma thought, while changing his now monstrous Template.

But it wasn't yet over.

"Due to having your stats halved and shared with your Path, your  superior Divine Skill, [Paradox Lord], and due to your massive amounts of essence stored within your body, each body has their own separate limit"

"...I am definitely breaking through common sense. That's understandable though, but I'm now breaking the rules set by True Will as well?" Enigma was surprised that such a thing was even possible.

Then, wouldn't he be broken once he fused with his Path of Fate? Or when he created more Paths in the near future, each breaking over their required limits, then fusing back to reform him. The idea was too terrifying!!!

"But... I shouldn't do such a thing, it's not fair..." Despite his words, his body was already separating itself into five other Enigmas, each with the body and figure as him.

The only difference was that, including the main body and the one that went away with Allen, each had a Skill Tree defined to them as a Path, and their stats and energy Reserves are also shared.

Each of the copies looked identical, making it quite hard to tell who was the main body, or who was who... no crash that, all of them were one person deep down.

"What now? Why did you create us?" The first clone asked, curiously looking around. Wondering if perception felt different from the eyes of a different body.

"Yeah, I thought you said it wasn't fair." The second said, but since they were all one person, he knew the answer to that question himself.

"Fair? Forget that, our lives are at stake here." The third said, even though it was not necessary at all. Meanwhile, the fouth and fifth Paths kept quiet and looked at the other Paths as if they were crazy.

"...."

"...."

"I feel crazy talking to myself, we even share thoughts." Enigma, the original body, now the last Path, bitterly smiled and said out loud. He chose to make himself a Path as well.

"Hey, why don't each of us get a women each?" The first clone, which seemed too curious for his own good wondered. Since he had quite a few girls around him, then...

"Don't." The second disagreed immediately.

"No." The third followed up.

"I don't think that's safe." The silent fouth also spoke up, disagreeing to the idea.

"Yeah." The fifth emphasized as well.

"...."

"...I guess you're right." The first thought about it and nodded his head. It was not a good idea to create Clones for each of the girls associated with him. To him, it'd feel like he was separating his own family.

"...."

As for sixth, the original body, he couldn't help but have a headache. Six of himself at the same place was a bad idea. Thus, he decided to think of a solution.
