Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

As for the three light arrows, they each flew towards Enigma at the speed of light. But he fluently deflected them all simply, using his pincer-like bones, as if he knew where they would strike beforehand.

"What?" Sear, the one who fired the arrows was caught off guard and blinked her eyes in surprise for her sneak attack was easily dodged. Again. The timing was not perfect, but it was not sloppy either.

"Hmm~" The queen smiled lightly as she saw the purple eyes Enigma had, from the red ones. It had to be said, that Enigma was handicapped but still easily played two of her Deities.

And the fact that he had to god eyes, was a boost. His talent and potential was clearly above the average.

"I guess it's my turn." Enigma's beautiful smile, one that he was yet to be aware of, bloomed brightly as he lightly kicked the floor using his pincer-like bones.

The force was light and almost nonexistent, but he immediately appeared tens of meters away in less than a microsecond, immediately appearing in front of Sear.

"Wha—!!" She was about to let out a cry of exclamation, but it was cut off by the powerful knee strike below her breast plate by Enigma. Of course it was not powerful, for he just used the momentum and not his own force.

His legs were still immobile after all. And he only positioned it for a knee strike using his bones. H then slightly jumped back, allowing her to slowly fall down on her knees, then collapsed on the floor.

"Soquel!!!" One of the remaining Lesser Deities, that had yet to attack called out as she put her hands together, summoning hundreds of spear like giant ice shards above her.

She cast spells as simply as breathing, not even desiring a chant at all. And as a god, she did not even need a wand to cast mortal level spells.

"Roger. Re Si Nad Baed Eh..." The other one, Soquel, the one with the broad sword, responded and summoned hundreds of metal javelins above her as well.

Unlike Sara, the one to call out to her, Soquel had to cast a chant even if it was a mortal spell. And at the same time, her and Sara both sent out their attacks to Enigma.

"...."

Enigma did not say anything. Instead, he performed a continuous rotational turn, with one pincer-like bone 'leg' as the focal point. The other pincer-like bone 'legs' spread out, and used to gather wind and momentum for the fast rotational spin.

His actions generating a large tornado, one strong enough to shatter the metal javelins and shatter the giant ice shards effortlessly, before they could even reach him.

At the same time...

BOOOM!!!

It was also powerful enough enough to shatter the building they were within, and sent debris everywhere. Startling the population.

"Kyaaaa!!!"

"What the hell is going on?!"

"It's the Grand Podium!!!"

"An attack?!"

"Warriors arm up and–—"

"Everyone, pull back, pull–—"

"The elderly and the children this side, this side. The women and the disabled, follow them. And–—"

"My shoe, my sh–—"

Chaos soon followed after, as Enigma did not even bother to try and stop. He did this for a reason. He might he viewed as the enemy, but at least, these gods would stop attacking.

And, what kind of treatment was this even? It was obviously not friendly. Meanwhile, as for the gods that attacked him. They were equally shocked by his feat.

"A war god!!" Sara exclaimed as she tried to pull back as fast as she could. A war god was a deity who was promoted through battle or war.

Their strength alone was enough to cause natural disasters, even without supernatural powers, skills or even spells. They were walking calamities.

They were menaces, and often the strongest Deities of their generation. And finding out that Enigma might be one, made the situation more dreary for them.

As for Sara, just as she wanted to push herself back, the wind tornado burst out, revealing an empty area without a sign of Enigma anywhere. As if he vanished with the tornado itself.

...!!!

Without even waiting for her to register the thought, Enigma appeared before her, in the midst of performing a flying hurricane kick. Still using the momentum and his bones to position his leg for the kick.

His speed was way beyond even the senses of a Greater Deity like the one on the throne, thus what good was a Lesser Deity before him? No good at all.

...???

Sara was so caught off guard that, so much, she could only stand there and look on as Enigma sent her body flying towards the walls as well, like Sion. Her only thoughts were, 'Fast...'

Enigma landed on the ground with one pincer-like bone leg, both hands still tired, the other pincer-like bone legs spread out above him, and a handsome smile on his face.

His hair gently dancing along the residential wind of the tornado he had caused. He finally realized how powerful he was. Or maybe not. He still had to target stronger opponents.

"Is this enough, miss?" He put down his other pincer-like bone legs, and gently lowered himself, before humbly asking the nether queen such.

Truthfully he felt like he could win against them, with her included and the three Half Deities. And it was not arrogance.

But he was afraid his condition would be ignited again. In that state, it felt like he was not himself yet himself at the same time. A beast yet not. Surreal, yet comfortable.

In simple terms, it felt like he was in a lucid dream, one that he was Supreme within.

"Not yet~ Be gentle on them please... What are you lot still doing down there?" The nether queen smiled back at him lightly, then looked down on the Half-Deities crawling out of the earth.

"There's no need for that." Enigma smiled even brighter as his purple eyes shifted to red eyes, and then glinted for an instant, at that moment, one by one, the Half-Deities fell into a trance and slowly fell down unconscious.

"Oh my~ I guess this does. Fufufu~" The queen stood up, the smile still on her face. She did not seem much bothered by their defeat. And not threatened by his might.

She then opened her mouth to speak, "If I may ask, and I do know that I have no right to after my sudden treatment, but, what would your name be?"

She asked with a tone feigned with apology. But Enigma did not buy it, instead, when he was about to once again humbly reply, the system suddenly sent a notification to him.

"Data of the Nether Elves has been copied. Initiate Adaption to Nether Elf?"

"Note: Your race, characteristics, appearance or personality will niether be affected"

"...What the f*ck?" But what came out of his mouth was no humility, but instead, this. Utter shock and bewilderment.

He was just that shocked, to the point where he mistakenly blurted out those words out loud.

"Excuse me?" The Nether Queen fluttered her eyes in shock, as she didn't expect any of that from the boy. She expected yet another humble reply, and she knew why he was being humble.

It was not because of her strength or beauty. He probably thought that she was sick in the head or temperamental, so his humility was a way of avoiding any actions of triggering her.

He didn't seem to like trouble. He was already fed up enough by their 'greeting'. So, maybe he had each and every right to be angry? But why did it not suit him?

"Ah, I'm sorry miss, please forgive my rudeness, I just remembered that I've lost my companion." Enigma finally kicked back to reality, and without any hesitation, lied.

"Companion?" The Nether Queen finally managed to calm down. Honestly, she was not in favor of fighting him head on, she was sure that the fight would be bitter... for her.

"Yes, more of an... avatar. He's this small and looks 70% like me, If not 90% similar." Enigma described En using his tied up hands to show her how tall he was, while pretending as if he was not tied.

"Would you like our help in finding him as compensation for the trouble I've caused you?"

"...Please."

"In the meantime, why don't you rest and we will have a descent conversation then? Sounds good?"

"Hm."

"Splendid. Girls, take care of our guest." The Nether Queen clapped her hands and two beautiful elven girls walked in and bowed to her, before taking Enigma outside.

"The rest of you... You're dismissed."

" " " Yes mother. " " "

"...."

As for him, he just casually agreed because he really wanted to talk to the System right now. He knew literally nothing about any of this.

What bullshit Adaptation? How come he never knew anything about that? Why was there no warning beforehand? Huh?
