Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

In other words, no matter how high or low one's mana was, to go to the next rank, one had to be able to carry a much greater load than before. She had to have twice as much mana as she has, to be able to breakthrough.

Which was why, being born with high mana, will lead to having higher mana for the rest of your life, unless you're truly unfortunate.

Though ranking up would be tough, in the short run it was disadvantageous, but in the long run, it was advantageous. Higher mana meant more god slaying artifacts one can use, and the longer they can use them too.

Noelle couldn't be much happier with the increase in her strength. But Mimi's words made her hold her breathe for quiet a while in shock too... divine weapon, or rather, a god slaying artifact.

Booom!!

Mimi didn't hold back in creating a deific artifact. Well, it was crudely made, considering that she was only tempering an ordinary blade with 500 units of faith points (one million units of divine power).

But even that was not enough to create a divine weapon, not everything was easy for them to make just because they were true gods. An example was her dying to the wyvern god.

To properly make the weapon a divine artifact, she had to bestow upon it a divine ability, deific in her case, Unique Abilities. An ability she comprehended from her Providence, but Mimi felt like that was not enough—

"Fuck deific, my life's on the line here!!! If I don't create a world shaking deific artifact, then I'm as good as dead tonight!!" She loudly shouted as she bestowed a prototype of one of her Providence onto the blade, [Black Dragon] without hesitation.

Booom!!!

Bang!!!

Two explosions of different frequency occurred around both of them, resulting into a golden cloud of dust appearing around both girls. The view was obscured, causing the Rock Python to pause in its steps and cautiously watch them.

Meanwhile, within the cloud of dust, Noelle stood silently with her eyes closed. She appeared to be walking within a void, filled with nothing but unprecedented darkness.

The only source of light would be the bright moon in the sky, the moon that caused her blood to boil and her eyes to become dazed. This wasn't the first time something like this happened, even her sisters suffer from it too.

They were born with it, and at turns, they felt like they belonged to the moon, one of the seventy two moons of Terra. It was like pure torture to them.

But right now, she was only a few kilometers away from it, one can imagine how she felt at this moment. At peace? No, painful. She felt suffocated and out of breathe, as if a powerful force was strangling her.

But then,『Do you like the moon?』an ethereal voice brought back her consciousness to reality, but unfortunately, she was still being strangled. Thus she failed to respond to the question.

『It's quite beautiful isn't it? A lovely one even』the person continued to speak without a care though, her voice was devoid of emotions but still sounded melodic and calm, instead of cold.

"...."

By now, Noelle's face was turning red. She really wanted to scream for help, but unfortunately, she couldn't. Her heart cried cried her sisters, her heart cried for Lulu, her support.

And finally, it cried towards her god, Enigma.

But that was all she could do, unwillingly cry for help within her heart, as no words came out. And she was losing more breath, luckily when she was at the brink of falling unconscious,

『I'll do it only once, this once, I shall bypass the young master's rules and help you. Remember, the moon is not something you mortals can wish to embrace... grow up first』

A beutiful women in a large gown appeared in front of Noelle, a white spark flew towards her and entered her body. It looked very similar to the ones floating above Enigma while he was cultivating.

'Could... it be?' Before she could even finish her thoughts, her consciousness finally drifted out of the void-like space, descending back into her body.

Along with forcefully opening her eyes, a white spark shot out and was absorbed by the newly formed divine artifact and her consciousness, giving both a unique bond.

Mimi was also caught off guard, which was why, even she was unprepared for the follow up explosion of pure divine power and faith points that followed.

BooOooOooM!!!

By now, the wyvern deity already knew where she was. Forget killing the bastard snake, she immediately grabbed the newly created divine artifact and the unconscious Noelle and burst off with all her full strength.

Her speed almost reaching light.

She couldn't suppress her strength anymore, and right now, she had a few hundred faith points left, she could afford another death for now. As for Noelle, she can't die yet, not after all the sacrifice they had just made.

She thought she had hit a jackpot, but unfortunately she miscalculated once again. She was unaware how divine Artifacts worked on Deities, and by the time she found out later, she would realise how childish an immature her thought process had always been.

Middle Realm

Middle West, World Forest

After the little guys left, Enigma was bored. He could explore his Providence but he felt like he was getting unnecessarily powerful. It was quite uncomfortable to him, he needed to first gouge his strength to find out his errors.

Plus, he was already strong, so he doubted he would use any of the powers he got from the Providence. That was why he put the idea on hold, after he was comprehending this sub skill of [The Compulsory], that is.

He had no choice, the ability to multiple himself was costly even for ordinary gods. With this, he could do one of his experiments on his Clones than his believers right?

'Well, no matter what you guys say, I'm tired of finding excuses for myself. Yeah, I just felt bored and tired of receiving skills everyday. After this one, I'm definitely going to explore this place!!!' He motivated himself as he entered his consciousness and activated Soul King's Vault.

Unfortunately, he looked down on his own curiosity and the power of the previous Eras' abilities.

Immediately after he appeared within a void of nothingness once again. He did not waste any time at all, and searched for the skill that he required at the moment.

Once again, he was marveled to the scenery before him. Looking at the hundreds upon hundreds of deific and subsidiary skills, he was quite shocked. Some, quite a few, were even at the Providence level.

Unfortunately, he could only comprehend the deific skills and subsidiary skills for now. Which he did not waste any time to do so.

The first skill, yes first, was of a man who was split in half. The man didn't have any change of expression or the likes, but instead, both halfs grew another half, resulting into two doubles.

This way, his power was halfed among each of the doubles. This was the original ability. Enigma looked at it and comprehended one skill that was closely related to this one. But the one he comprehended couldn't go by itself, so he comprehended another skill as well.

This one demonstrated the same man who was robbed of his arm and leg. Without a change of expression at all, he easily regenerated both the leg and hand instantly.

Enigma could completely comprehend the ability, he also added his understanding of "Limb Restoration" with it, increasing the abilities effects and loosening its requirements.

Happy, he was about to stop meditating, but couldn't bring himself to do it. At the end of the day, he was still curious. He went for another skill, one where a man easily created a clone out of his body parts that were separated from the original body.

He of course, fused this skill with the first one to create an even better skill, but he still had both of the skills as well. Yup, he was getting pretty damn overpowered by the minute.

And that was not all, since true gods can't die, why not reinforce that statement? He learned another ability that allowed him to reconstruct his body after death via divine power instead of the usual faith points, which was wasteful.

He also went on ahead to learn an energy source related to the spiritual realm that could increase the spirituality or intelligence of lifeforms. He had good experiments for this one.

The last one he learned before he recieved a warning from the system, was related to his body as well. He could now control his bones, extend them outside or even loosen them.

All in all, he was bent on learning more Unique Abilities from different worlds of the last Era, unfortunately the system had to warn him.
