Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

"Kill him." She did not even wait to let him finish his words before she gave her order. The demon king was surprised, but not too shocked. A Demon Empress like her had to be cold and cruel.

"Yes my lord. He will be disposed off immediately." He did not know why, perhaps it was because that person was a pervert who forced himself on weaker underaged women, or because he looked like the target, but with a horrible attitude.

Anyway, it was not his place to ask. All he knew is that, this person, had just unfortunately cut his future short. It was a pity for him, luckily with the distance, he still has about five to ten years to live. If he was lucky. If not, he might just die even tomorrow morning.

ƥαṇdαηθνε| The ones keeping tabs on him were weak, yes, the weak mortals he r*ped, some were succubus who worked for Louise. Though it was just work, as in getting payed, they still did their job carefully.

Plus, they weren't losing out at Devouring the Yan essence of a Half-Deity. So they did not mind doing such indecent deeds.

"Anything else to report?" She asked after a moment of quietness. The matter of that person was no more mentioned, the demon king knew his place perfectly well.

"Yes my lord, the Dark Net has officially spread out its influence throughout the Five Empires. We also have connection with at most hundreds of Regions spread out within the Middle Realm.

"We are doing our best and will expand even further from now on. As for the reports from the Dark Net, the Rubrum Empire is making its move and seems to be a bit secretive lately.

"The Aurum Empire is still as quiet and secretive as always. Nothing major has occurred from them, and their connections with the Angels from the Higher Realm of Heaven is still as steadfast as before.

"The Shade Empire is still as reckless as before and has done as you told. They have internal struggles as they are not sure who to believe in between Night and Demise. So far, there are three powers there.

"The Night Council, Demise Council and the Royal Family. The three Princesses that you support have been waiting patiently working to meet up to your expectations. They are known as the 'The Three Sisters of Dusk' for now.

"The Holy Empire has, for some reason, gone down towards the Green Continent. I heard that the Holy Son lost his pet down there, and now, they are going back to retrieve it." He paused to catch his breathe and continued on after a moment.

"Rumor has it that a gigantic thousands mile humanoid being, as if personifying the Universe itself killed a much larger tens of thousands miled colossal bird. The battle was won at the cost of hundreds of millions of lives—"

Louise hurriedly raised her hand to cut him off and stood up as she looked at him with shock and a hint of expectation within her eyes. "Repeat yourself, come again, a what?"

"...a ten thousand miled colossal bird?" The demon king looked up as he was confused. It is rare to see the personification of Night herself look so flustered.

"No, not that. Before... You said something before that, about a humanoid being..." Louise hurriedly shook her head.

"Uhm... the thousand miled humanoid behemoth?" He asked once again? Still confused, 'What's so great about this behemoth anyway?'

"Yes yes, that's it. The Universal Reiki, the Essence of Reality, only he can use something like that within such a weaker realm." Louise sighed and sat down, her countenance looking brighter and fairer. That was at least a clue.

The demon king looked up in confusion once again, 'Weaker? Isn't this world considered the highest grade World within all of Reality? A Greater World?'

With such thoughts, he did not dare say them out loud and just waited for Louise to finish her words. "Keep your tabs on the person who manifested such a behemoth, and... do not do anything that will earn you his Wrath.

"Believe me, I will not do anything if that is the case. All I can do is act like nothing happened while... serving him as a diligent— Ahem, I lost track of the main topic. Continue." Louise covered the lower half of her face with her hand, making her seem cute.

But the demon king saw through her blush, but of course, he did not dare comment. Instead he continued his report as if nothing happened. Cause nothing did happen.

Aside from the Rubrum, Aurum, Shade and Holy Empires, the Central Empire also seemed to be busy with their own things. Though strange, they spread their influence throughout the other four Cardinals.

The Four Cardinals had thousands of Continents each, then each Continent had thousands of Regions each. One Region the size of a small world (Earth).ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

One can imagine how long it would take to cover such a large piece of land, including crossing the Endless Sea separating the Cardinals. Their actions would probably be fruitless even after years of effort.

But that was not part of Louise's business. She had no right or need to worry about them, while she had to look for Enigma and their Destined child, The Daughter of Darkness.

"That's all about the Middle Realm, my lord." The demon king, Vares, concluded with a noble bow towards the throne. He was her most loyal follower, and leader of the Shadow Deities.

"Very good." Louise closed her eyes to relax. A lot has happened in just five years, what off ten, twenty and the hundreds years left before everyone finished the trials.

Usually, without even trying, they could become Main Gods within a hundred and fifty-five years. But if they used faith points, a 100 000 for one year, they could at least finish within a hundred years or less.

This data was collected after the last batch went through their trial. In other words, it was just the average time, some might take earlier time, while others took longer. But 155 years was still the limit. For every true god out there.

"My lord, there is more." Varese said after realizing that Louise was about to close her eyes to rest. He did not want to disturb her, but it was just that important.

"What is it?" Loyise asked after a while of keeping quiet. Her eyes were still kept shut as if she did not believe that whatever he had to say, would be worth more than finding about a certain someone.

"A new path to the Abyss has suddenly been spotted." He carefully reported with an elegant bow, as if he was cautious with the topic. But it was understandable.

The Middle Realm was known as the mortal world of Terra. Mystic Realm, Hell and Heaven are then known as the Middle Realms of Terra. Between the Mortal and the Higher Realms.

Then there were three Higher Realms, the Abyss, Purgatory and the God Realm. From the God Realm to the Abyss then Purgatory, this was the hierarchy between the higher realms.

The Higher Realms were mysterious. Especially the Abyss, which surpassed every other Realm except Purgatory, which was a terrifying concept if one thought about it.

All they knew was that, the weakest there were born as Deities, and the strongest were unknown. But even beings of unknown power would be careful when treading that place. It was also known as the Primordial Graveyard.

"The Abyss?" Louise's interest was piqued, she looked up at Vares and asked back just to verify if she heard it clearly. Well, maybe there was something after all.

"Yes, many demons have already gone down, but none have returned alive. Even the Ancient Desire has not come back, now, the Princess of Wrath is about to jump in as well." Vares responded.

"Is that so? Okay then, I've heard you." Louise nodded and stood up. She then walked down the stairs at a leisure pace, while Vares already stood at the side with his right hand raised up towards her.

Louise held his hand and helped herself down the stairs. It was courtesy of Hell, and it's not like she didn't like it at all. But she still preferred to be in 'his' arms.

"I'll go take a look..." She abruptly said, and before Vares could intervene, she raised up her hand to stop him, "I'll be going with my little sister, don't worry too much about me.

"I'll be gone for the coming years at most. But... if I'm not back by then, I want you to keep attacking and following my sister's instruction. I'll just be a little late, but I'll be back at the end."

"...."

Vares still seemed like he had more to say. How could they let the lord they had been waiting for, for so long, go just like that? Impossible, never. They would never.

"Believe in me." Louise ended it there. A rare smile on her icy cold face. A smile that melted the icy heart of a veteran demon such as himself, who was as dark as the shadows.
