Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

Chapter 353 The Dragon Empire IV



Within the hidden void dimension~

Neonate sat cross legged before Teach, as he conversed about all that has occurred throughout the thirty years of his descent. Though she probably saw through it, she still jubilantly listened on when he spoke.

"Geez, you've grown though. Like that little disciple of yours, you have grown up as well." Neonate said, her face painted with glittering smiles. She was happy. So happy she couldn't even stay still.

"Huh..?" Teach responded to her words in astonishment. Him? He has grown? How so? He thought to himself in shock, as he felt like he was still the same old Enigma's clone.

"Silly. I didn't think you would go through all that for a stranger. For someone who isn't necessarily The Lord's believer. I honestly thought you'd help and leave at most." She chuckled along her response.

"Huh? I still don't get it? What was special about what I did? Taking in a disciple? Helping her mature?" Unfortunately, Teach was still greatly confused.

"Fufufu~ I mean our blessings, silly. I didn't really think you would actually go towards the hidden dimension of The Lord, and collect so much faith. Just to give this child and her people blessings." Neonate explained herself.

And her words finally struck the cord, and had Teach freezing in motion. Looking back, seeing the one million barells of faith behind him, he couldn't help but realize how great of a deal he made out of this.

A million barells of faith were approximately ten billion faith points. And as Transcendental Gods required a hundred thousand faith power units to give out a Transcendental Blessing, and he needed ten faith power units, ten billion faith points were more than enough.

After all, ten billion faith points was around ten million units of faith power, and giving all twenty one of them Transcendental Blessings and Pseudo Blessings, cost 2+ million units of faith power, but likewise increased each of their potential by a +9 factor.

The former added +8, and the latter added +1, and that was a total of +9 points. The fact that he went so far for them, was actually praiseworthy. "I guess... I really did do something amazing." He admitted.

Indeed. He finally did something out of his own accord, and he loved it. There was no major push factor behind all that he did, either than the fact that he grew fond of Mirai throughout the years. And wanted what was best for her.

The child was naively cute sometimes. And her thoughts were quite the sight show.

"Awww, isn't that adorable~" Neonate teased, waving her tail back and forth in excitement. Teach sighed, and pointed at it with a calm expression. "I find that to be more adorable, to be honest."

"...."

And Neonate froze in shock. But her tail subconsciously waved faster and faster behind her. And the more that happened, the more embarrassed she became. 'I... I am a Transcendental Goddess... yet I cannot even...' She thought.

Teach smiled, and felt content with himself. This feeling was amazing. Doing things that he liked, and indulging in them was amazing. Athena's idea was amazing.

"So, have you gotten accustomed to what it is that you want to do?" Neonate forcefully hugged her tail still embarrassed, and went into business. The real matter at hand.

"Not really. It's only been thirty years so far, and the children below are dragon king level at the moment. With their new talents, they could give even peak stage dragon kings a run for their money with their battle prowess alone."

"Meanwhile, Mirai was close to breaking through to the mid stage of the Greater Deity Empress. And that was only because she had shared her potential with everyone else. Otherwise, she'd be a Dwmigod by now." He said, a hidden smile only accomplishment on his face.

"How lucky. You've just descended, and yet you found a talent no less terrifying than the ancient origins. Such luck transcends even those of Supremes." Neonate continued teased with a light smile.

She was a bit envious. She's lived for millions of years, and has yet to come across a natural born ancient origin, or a natural born Favored talent. It was just that rare.

Teach remained silent, and letting her tease him to her heart's content. And she did just that. "What else did you do for them? Let's see. You eliminated the threat that she let loose. And speaking of that, are you okay with it?" She inquired, a bit dubious.

"About what?" Teach stared back at her strangely. Why else would he not be okay?

"She let those people go because you gave her the choice. Isn't killing them going against that choice? Isn't it just simply disregarding her will?" She asked, a frown accompanied by her concern.

She wanted what was best for Teach. And disregarding people's personal choices was a toxic trait. Especially so, if those people were important to you.

"It is, in a way." Teach responded without a pause. He didn't seem bothered much much her words. "I gave her the choice, and I respected it. I let them go as her subordinates. But killed them as potential threats." He added.

"What... do you mean by that?" She was confused. Wasn't he still disregarding her will even after that?

"Simple. I am the concept of Knowledge throughout Terra. Give me the chance, and I know everything about you. And I knew... that those people, would still betray her the moment they had the chance."

"So, I killed them... Hm? Ah, no no, I did it only when they entertained the thoughts of exposing me to our enemies. Otherwise, we would have plenty more trouble behind us." He added, explaining his reasons.

He wasn't cold blooded after all.

"Well it's fine, as long as she doesn't knowm anyway, what else? You've brought exotic fruits and herbs from The Lord's hidden dimension, and raised them here for them."

"Each one being a terrifying 4th grade to 6th grade. If you find a talented alchemist, you could create... Oho!! Aren't you proficient in Alchemy? Divine level alchemy at that? Why don't you use the fruits and herbs to concote seventh grade pills or remedies."

"You can even create some that help with cultivation. Unless... you already have that in mind." She said, suddenly falling into realizing that he might already have that all planned out by now.

As for whether what she said was true or not, it was. The fruits, plants, herbs, or anything in Nia's Domain, even the soil, were of a higher quality than anything else. Even towards the beings in the now Heavenly Divine Realm.

Things seen rare here in the mortal worlds, such a 4th, 5th and especially 6th grade resources, were very much abundant in Nia's Domain. And 7th and 8th grade resources were also a bit plenty as well.

9th grade resources, also known as supreme grade resources, were scarce. Let alone 10th grade resources that even Terra had never seen one of, since her birth.

And this was all possible due to Enigma's Onericpotence and Metapotence, when he established the wishes of his people.

Teach just borrowed a few from the fifth path, which gave him plenty without any cost. He even said something along the lines of, 'We are one of the same person, no need to feel so distant. You can also ask for help if you need us. These... are your believers too.'

"Well... True, I did think about that. But I only obtained this Alchemy through teaching Zhou Mingye a way to grow stronger and become an Alchemy God. I don't have much authority over this aspect." He responded as such.

Then added with bitterness, "And, have you forgotten? The last time I used it, I seemed to have disturbed the Transcendental Goddess of Alchemy who represents the Aspect of Alchemy throughout Great Terra. If I use it once more, she'll find my location... again."

"Ah, yes, I do. If I wasn't going against the five of them, I would have long since destroyed that hateful woman!! She disgusts me." Neonate spat aside just remembering the humiliation she was forced to go through.

The Dark Pantheon had sent out two Transcendental Gods to ambush her. It was as if they knew she would be returning alone. While for some reasons, the Light Pantheon saw her children as great threats.

Dragons were agents of destructions and malevolence. And within this growing Ragnarok, their power would grow stronger and stronger, and the first to become an Elder Goddess would have been her, Neonate.

They had to snip the bud while it was growing, and thus they also sent out two Transcendental Gods to do the deed. Amidst the fight, she was heavily injured, and many of her and Dui's children unfortunately lost their lives.

They did manage to escape however, but her condition was worrying. Teach had to concote a high grade forbidden eighth grade pill to heal her injury, and that action, unexpectedly cut off a certain Goddess' authority over Alchemy. Temporarily.

But being able to strip the main aspect of Alchemy of its own power, albeit briefly, was terrifying still. Didn't that mean that if let be, it would sooner or later completely strip her of being the main aspect of Alchemy?

Thus... she joined the fray, and it was five against one. The major reason why they had to retreat down here. They were still being chased everywhere as we speak right now.

"Don't get yourself worked up. We will get our revenge. And though twenty years isn't much, it should allow us enough time to create a foundation for ourselves." Teach said, looking up at the growing void opening far behind them.
