Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

By then, the remaining tens of millions of demons would show up and finish them up. That was, after breaking their will and crushing them thoroughly. But things didn't go as planned.

That attack alone had the potential to put half the entire Region in turmoil. Let alone this small hemisphere, he had to do something about it. Which was why he used his unique skill to silence everything.

As the Noble Demon King of Silence, something like this was of course not that much trouble. But if little Kappa kept firing them out like an artillery, then he would not hesitate to turn tail and run.

As a peak Regal Noble demon king, his demonic power reserves were capable of cloaking the whole region. Possible almost a hundred regions if it was not for the membrane separating every region from the next.

Each membrane being far more stronger than even God Kings. And if it was not for the world's restriction, his reserves could stretch out for millions of light years worth of distance. Sou would pale in comparison.

Then there were Unique skills. An ordinary Unique skill already took quite the toll of energy, trillions at minimum, but it was miniscule to him. Meaning that he could silence that storm as many times as he wished. If, he could react faster than the opponent that is.

Luckily, little Kappa fell unconscious just after unleashing one bout of [Perfect Storm]. Rongxi was about to sigh in relief, when the skies suddenly growled at him.

He had a bad feeling about what was to follow, but he still had no choice but to look up and was met by a snarling face made up of pure blue lightning and gray clouds.

"Are they just kids?" Rongxi wondered as the actions of the En siblings so far, were, first, quite irregular. Second, were poorly thought, and third, were based off on curiosity.

"This is bothersome, yet easier for us. Unfortunately, why do I get the feeling that everything is so... unreal?" He stared down on the elves fighting the demons.

Ten thousand elves were down to three thousand, the greater incarnation was close to falling apart now. But seven thousand elves were sacrificed for twenty two thousand demons

Each elf could be said to have taken down three demons each, as they were dying. The more stronger ones taking even four demons down with them to hell.

Compared to more then two million demons, that was just miniscule. But En Caela's rage had continued to deplete the lives of the demons more and more as he felt like Rongxi was too strong for him.

He was angry at Rongxi, but as he was hard to deal with, he decided to let out all of his rage on the unfortunate demons that were weaker than himself.

Meanwhile on Fredrick's side, there was a large crater below the mountain, with nothing within. En Gula flew around and searched and searched, but did not find a body.

He felt like eating Fredrick would benefit his master, so he wanted to go and do it while it was still warm. Unfortunately, it seemed like his little brother reduced everything to ashes.

Disappointed, En Gula looked back one last time in bitterness, before flying off to another demon lord. Rongxi gave off too much pressure, slightly less than their master, but greater than theirs.

When the little guy was gone, Fredrick showed up from below the soil and gazed around carefully. He was traumatized. The power of these little guys were too powerful, even for a greater incarnation.

Luckily their mentality was too lacking. If it was a veteran, this entire place would have been ravaged into bits and pieces in order to search for him. But little Gula just left like that after searching for a bit.

Fredrick stood up and cautiously looked around. After finding out that everything was clear, pulled back and hid far away from the battlefield. Only a fool will not realize that the demon lords were canon fodder there.

He wanted to go back to Hell, and start afresh. He had to ascend, gain merit and find a way to get into the upper hierarchy. As for thus opportunity, it has failed him.

Meanwhile, on Enigma's side~

On top a mountain far away from the battlefield.

A group of six otherworldly beings stood there, and watched the battle with wonder, amazement and shock on their faces. Five of them to be more precise.

Five of them were watching, while the last, a silver haired boy sat down cross legged with his eyes closed, appearing as if he was meditating in a lotus position.

"It's hard to believe that this is all an illusion." Sara could not help but say as she gazed at the battle that took place miles away from them, through the giant bubble of water floating before them.

"No, it's hard to believe which is an illusion and which is reality." Soquel corrected Sara as she also gazed at the battlefield with a shocked expression of wonder on her face.

Indeed, the battle occurring back at the battlefield was part illusion part reality. The dark elves there were nothing but an illusion created by Enigma.

Yes, there was a problem.

Why was the illusion so real, and why could the elves kill the demons? It was not an illusion at this point, but reality. Yes, that was what he did, he brought reality to all the demons there, including the demon kings.

Everything except the demons, the En siblings and the geography was an illusion. The pain the demon felt, the blood splashed around the battlefield, the sensation of stabbing, the thrill of killing, all of this was all an illusion.

Enigma made it so that the brains of the demons registered everything as real, thus when the illusionary elf stabbed a demon on the heart, the brain will register it as a fatal hit and thus shutting itself down, along with the other important functions of the body.

Then True Death. It was as if the brain was being forcefully convinced that everything happening was true, and natural, thus it responded in the most logical way it would, if everything was real.

When the demon's hand was cut off, the brain will transmit the signal of pain to the body so that it reacts, then alter the perception of the demon into thinking that it had no hand, thus disconnecting every related function of that hand from the brain.

This was what had them frightened. As well as a new Skill Enigma mistakenly made when he used the [Copy-Wheel Devil Eyes]'s illusion power, "Reality Warping" and [Divine Thought].

Of course, "Reality Warping" was an advanced art only main true gods could use, which should he impossible for him. But thanks to [Nigh-omnipotence], he somehow gained a bit of its effects.

But the effects were only limited to altering the Reality of Deities, and not the overall Reality of Existence. Thus it was a make-shift copy of the true Reality Altering effects. And the results were;

• • • • •

Encephalopathy Domination: Alter the brain function at will and bringing about their thoughts into reality, their reality to thoughts. Decline reason, disturb concentration, memory loss, personality change, seizures are minor effects of the skill. Can permanantly dominate the brain of weaker beings than yourself. Can change the very Reality of mortals and deities alike, with but your thoughts, or their thoughts.

• • • • •

Yeah, it was an Ultimate skill. And "Reality Warping" was forbidden from being used completely by the system. Along with [Nigh-Omnipotence] and [Nigh-Omnipresence]. Both of them along [Divine Thought] were now considered Ultimate Skills.

It was all a punishment, or so the system said. Bringing balance or whatnot, which he considered bullshit, but also understood. These skills were a bit too dangerous to be considered just Unique skills.

Either way, he opened his mouth and muttered to himself, but the others heard him clearly as well, "Caela, Kappa, Gula, come back. That's about enough playing around."

Despite being hundreds of miles away, the little guy's heard his call and stopped whatever they were doing. En Caela shot down towards his big brother En Kappa, took him and bolted off into the distance at the speed of light.

Regal Noble king Rongxi did not give chase, even though he felt like he was way faster than little Caela. His intuition told of his death if he were to dare follow.

As for En Gula, his talent for hiding was so great that, even Enigma had trouble finding him at times. He wasn't at the battle field anymore, he probably got lost after not finding Fredrick.

Enigma stood up and dusted himself, he opened his eyes which turned from red with their unique pattern back to gold. Likewise, the scenery back at the settlement suddenly twisted and turned, then everything went into tranquility.

The many remaining elves slowly vanished out if existence as if they were dust being blown away by a gentle breeze. The death elven bodies also vanished in the same manner.
