Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

But then, an idea suddenly formed within his head, one that was so frightening that it gave even himself goosebumps. "Hey, when I give Noelle a 1st grade blessing, what happens to the effects of the 3rd grade blessing I previously gave her?"

This was an important question. As a true god, their aim was not to increase their strength, but the Providence of the hundred and eight palaces. And to do that, was to gather believers and increase their strengths.

If the effects could stack, then with his vast amount of faith points, he would not hesitate given them a 5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd and 1st grade blessing in order. If they cancel each other out, then that's just a pity.

"Of course they stack.... Which is why the prices will increase after your first promotion... hopefully. Why do you even have such a twisted mindset in the first place?"

"Not like the past seniors never thought of this question. It's not that hard." Enigma defended himself as he heard he system's insults. His defense was also an insult to the system.

"They did. But only those who have the Advanced Divine Art, "Divine Blessing", could truly be capable of doing such a thing... well all true gods have that art"

"I suddenly realised I'm the bane of all true gods. Why are you changing the prices because of me? Not everyone is like me you know?" Enigma genuinely felt bad, he was even close to canceling out that idea.

As for the system's words on "Divine Blessing", he might be the only one with Advanced Divine Arts. Thus he truly was the bane of all True Gods out there.

"Don't worry, the effects will also increase, albeit I'll make sure they don't stack anymore"

"Are you seriously using me to perfect the system of ascension for true gods?" It suddenly dawned on him that, the system was using him to correct loop holes to the ascension system of true gods.

The system might not be going against him, it might be using him to perfect the power system of true gods. Yeah, that's right. That's it biggest goal!! Enigma thought to himself.

"I'm sorry, I was born to specifically make sure you don't enjoy yourself a tad bit too much. In simple terms, to limit you. The True Verse has nothing to do with me"

"...Figures." He sighed, but he expected that. In fact, he even doubted whether he was a true god or just an imposter at this point. Being a true god was just too easy for him.

"Any way, calculate how much it would cost me if I gave the previously mentioned, a 5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd and 1st grade blessing altogether. Add the price of a Divine Blessing as well for me."

"Affirmative"

Seeing as the system was busy Calculating, Enigma gazed up with a smile on his face. 'At the end of the day, I'm not that anxious because you're here. Even if I'm the Reincarnation of the Apocalypse, at least you're here to stop me, right?'

"...."

"Calculations Complete"

"Twenty-Four 5th grade blessings, 96 faith points"

"Twenty-Four 4th grade blessings, 960 Faith points"

"Zero 3rd grade blessings, 0 faith points"

"Twenty-Four 2nd grade blessings, 9 600 faith points"

"Twenty-Four 1st grade blessing, 48 000 faith points"

"Twenty-Four Divine Blessings, 480 000 faith points. Insufficient funds. Due to your weak realm, the effects and price of the Divine Blessing has decreased"

"Twenty-Four pseudo Lesser Divine Blessings, 240 000 faith points have been given your believers"

"Total, 298 656. Would you like to implore the act of giving out four consecutive Normal Blessings, and one Divine Blessing to the twenty five hosts?"

"There are no side effects right?" Enigma inquired, he was still cautious of them suddenly falling down unconscious or blowing up into bloody mist just because of his over excitement.

"None"

"Then proceed." Luckily there were none, which was good news to him. At least he won't lose Twenty-Four talented fellows. And the price was a bit too much.

But while he was reveling in his genius, a red notification came up all of a sudden. It was a new type of notification, which spelled nothing but misfortune.

'Red? That's new.' Being the curious Enigma, he of course decided to entertain the system and open the notification. And regret, he does. For he seems to have dug a bottomless pit for himself.

"Warning: The act of giving out consecutive blessings of the highest grade can transform even a disabled Mortal into a Chosen"

"Chosens are the Manifestation of the world's purest creation, they have the same potential to rival even Champions of the Gods. They cannot be judged by common sense, and true gods should be wary of them as well"

"The sudden appearance of twenty-four highest-grade talents has caught the attention of the World's Main Will"

"Shit." Enigma already cussed when he was halfway through the rain of notification. What off the remaining other half, he truly did not want to see nor read it, but he had no other choice.

"The world will has expended a slight amount of its Originity to allow the abrupt birth of the twenty-four highest-grade Chosens. But it is discontent with you"

"It desires you to repay it, its 55 units of originity, along with tax fees of 5 units of originity. The system is going into a negotiation with the world will. Please hold on..."

"...."

"...."

"The world will has relented to 50 units of originity within the deadline of ten years.... That's 50 trillion faith points if you didn't know"

"This is your biggest fuck up so far"

"I'm genuinely impressed though"

"...."

Enigma had nothing to say against that. He truly did fuck up, and the 50 trillion faith points he owed to the world will were understandable. 'Does the discount—'

"Not in a million years"

Enigma could only sigh and say nothing. All he had to do was verify if these so called highest-grade Chosens were worth the 50 million faith points he owed the world will.

And shocked, he truly was.

Usually, a person had main stats and sub stats. The main stats were of course aligned with one's realm, while sub stats were obviously weaker. For example, a Grand Master has grand master realm main stats, and advance realm sub stats.

This was the mainstream. But there were people who had higher stats above their realm or higher sub stats as well. This people, were called monsters or in eloquent terms, Chosen Ones.

Of course, people of higher racial grades had higher stats than others. Like, a nether elf with mythical grade has a starting point of five times Main stats than others before they even become an Apprentice.

While an ordinary human has average initial stats and a legendary dragon had initial stats of four times the human's strength. But a Chosens were different altogether. According to Grade, they had different initial stats.

Lowest level, were born with Epic stats.

Low-mid level, were born with Legend stats.

Mid level, were born with Saint stats.

High-mid level, were born with Half-Deity stats.

Highest level, were born with Deity stats.

And he mistakenly made Twenty-four of such beings. For example, Sion, one of the now four greater deities under him, a rare assassin type at that.

She had Strength, Dexterity, Reflex, Agility and Will as her main stats. And as a Regal, each of her stats are so above her league that, she could keep up with Enigma when he wasn't going all out.

And Enigma believed himself to top even Higher Deities to a standstill. Thus her main stats were all around Higher Deity level, just by terms of power, speed, flexibility, reaction and will power.

Her sub stats were not lagging behind. Instead of being below her realm, her sub stats were comparable to other greater deities her own realm.

Meaning that she could cast spells and defend attacks just like any other greater deities despite being an assassin, who relies more on speed and flexibility.

She was basically a nigh-all rounder. But the one he liked to fight was Nia. Nia was originally a talented greater deity, but now, she was a monster in the literal sense of that term.

Her main stats could actually overpower Enigma by quite a bit, if he did not go all out. Her strength alone was way beyond common sense, especially with the support of 30 Planets within her Inner Zone.

Despite being a Mage Goddess, she could actually throw blows with weaker Deity Kings or outrun quite a few of them in terms of speed. Everytime they fought, the environment would be damaged and something strange would happen.

"Adaptation to Ancient prowess: 67,5%"

This was something new that made him re-evaluate her overall power once again. She was so strong, she comparable to beings even Deity Kings looked up to!!

According to the system, he could adapt by 1% when fighting someone of the same rank. But the higher the rank, the lower the chances. And it depends by the opponents as well.
