Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

He could fight two Deity kings, one being 0,05% adaption while the other was 0,01%. The strength of the opponent mattered as well. And one more discovery was that, the higher the adaption percentage, the stronger he got.

As of now, he could actually go toe to toe with Nia, stat wise. He guessed that by 100%, he would be able to fight ancient beings. That was a guess, but it seemed true by the day.

Plus, the higher the percentage was, the stronger he was becoming. And as the so called ancients were stronger than Deity Kings, even before 100%, he was already capable of matching them as well.

He was adapting to a high level of power, so it was obvious he would easily surpass anything lower than that. That was yet another theory he proved along the way.

Unfortunately, he would not have the chance to prove the first theory. The vagrant elves, who had been migrating since last year, making stops from time to time, were finally close to the Green River.

Unfortunately, they met a strange... beggar? The distance to the Green River was 1 500 miles from here, which was a day or two away with their current walking speed.

"Be careful." Nia frowned as she gazed at the beggar-like strange man stagger towards them. She then whispered to Enigma, "If I'm not mistaken, that's the second wonder."

"Second wonder?" Of course Enigma heard of this from the other elves, but he just thought they were rumors at most. He never thought that he would really meet one of the disasters of the World Forest.

"Yes, a tough opponent. The chances of success against him are quite slim." Nia sighed as she raised her hand to the dark elves, signaling them to retreat. "But don't worry, though I still can't believe that you've given us this strength, allow me to put it to good use as I test it out."

The talents that Enigma overally gave them, added a +14 to their base potential. A plus fourteen, which was something above even a Heavenly genius.

And if you add the potential they innately had when they were born, it increased even more. Nia, who was millenia genius, now had her potential somewhere above [25] rating.

And she was the most talented out of everyone here, and even throughout all of his believers, if we do not include the Pixies, Gillettereniona and his son.

Nia smiled and took a step forward right after she finished her words, but Enigma stopped her. Firstly, he had an uneasy feeling facing this being, even when he could go toe to toe with an ancient being, he felt unnerved.

Secondly, the system verified that this was the target of the mission. In other words, this was his responsibility, "It's not safe, pull back immediately."

"But..." Nia was about to say something, but the serious expression on Enigma's face was one of a kind. One she has never seen on his face ever since meeting him the past two years.

"Don't worry aunt Nia, I've got this." Enigma smiled at her behavior, she was quite cute in his eyes, albeit rash. He looked up and saw the twenty-five En siblings, "Pull back as well, I got this covered, don't worry."

ƥαṇdα-ηθνε|·ƈθm "...Only because you called me aunty today." Nia appeared satisfied and pulled back with the En siblings. Enigma smiled at her behavior, that was contradictory to her age and walked forward. She really was like Hestia.

"Good morning sir, how can I help you?" He smiled kindly at the old man and genuinely asked. He was not aware that he just triggered a flag against the Second Wonder.

"How... dare you?!" The beggar roared at Enigma in response, as he pointed his crooked finger at the handsome boy. Alas, he was also unaware that he triggered a flag against the newly born, Third Wonder.

"Sir?" Enigma was warned about this person's unreasonability, but the way he saw it, this was nothing but being crazy. 'Did I say something wrong?'

"Who... gave you the implication that I need your help?!" The dirty beggar stood up and tried to grab Enigma by his collars, but of course, Enigma pulled back Instinctively. "Ah? Now you don't trust me?!"

"But Sir—"

"You two faced bastard!!! What happened to wanting to help me?! So why are you running away now?! Huh?! Is it because I'm dirty?! Is it because I'm poor?!"

"...I'm sorry sir, please forgive me for my manners. It is—"

"Who said I needed your apology?! You are clearly undeserving of my forgiveness!!"

"...."

"Now you don't want to talk to me?! I knew it, everyone is two faced, everyone is the same, everyone should go to Hell and just die!!!" The beggar suddenly flared up at him, surprising Enigma slightly.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

'Why do I feel like this guy is insane? No, he probably just had it rough in life, yeah, that's probably it.' Enigma thought as he let out a light sigh and smiled at the beggar, "Okay sir, it is my fault for everything. I should've known my place."

"Shut up!! I don't want to hear your wretched tone anymore. No your insincere apologies!!!"

'But if I keep quiet, you will flip over.' Enigma retorted internally, as he felt like he should not say it out loud to someone as crazy as him. He decided to just keep quiet at the end.

"...."

"Again... Again with that attitude!! You think you're all high and mighty huh?! You think I cant do anything to you?!" And as he thought, the beggar flipped over and shouted at him for keeping quiet.

'But I don't, I really don't know how to.' Enigma responded to the beggar, albeit still internally. He really wasn't aware of the feeling of pride, nor lust or greed, or any of the sins or virtue. Even his humility was fake.

"That's it... Thats right, I've solved it before, I can do it again... All I have to do is just kill you..." The beggar suddenly held his head with both hands and crouched down with a worried expression, and murmured to himself.

'Nonono, sir, that won't solve anything at all... will it?' Enigma internally retorted once again, albeit, this time around, he pulled back as he felt uneasy all of a sudden.

"Kill... Kill... Kill... Kill..!!" The beggar slowly stood up, his eyes were wide open as if he had seen his worst nightmare. He slowly dragged his body towards Enigma as if he was a zombie, muttering strange words to himself.

"Senior, please stop. If I have offended you one way or another, I sincerely apologize. So, can we not include killing in this conversation?" Enigma pulled back even more, but he knew that the more he pulled back, the closer he got to the dark elves.

"...Shut up. Shut up shut up shut up. Just shut up and... Die!!!" The beggar suddenly kicked the floor roughly, instantly disappearing from his spot like a wraith and appearing before the retreating the Enigma.

He was stretching out his hand towards Enigma's face, as if attempting to tear off his face with just by a single grasp.

....!!!

'Fast!!' Enigma widened his eyes as they turned red with the unique pattern revolving around the iris. His perception suddenly slowed down, giving him enough time to use his hands as a shield to cover his face.

Bang!!

The moment the beggar's fist struck Enigma's hands, a dull sound of a loud explosion sounded out as he got pushed back all the way towards the dark elves, tens of miles away.

He felt a weight he could not truly measure press on him. It was not something ordinary mortals and deities could understand at all. It was unprecedented!!!

'Strong as well. An ancient being?' Before he crashed among the circle of dark elves, Enigma pushed himself off ground and did a flip to spread out the force that was pushing him back and landed mid air with "Flight".

Just as he stabilized himself, he felt goosebumps all over his skin and hurriedly turned around, 'Wao~ he really is fast, perhaps a peak ancient being? The only way I can keep up is if I...'

Despite the beggar appearing behind him nigh instantly, in the motion of throwing a fist at Enigma's face, Enigma was still calm, calm enough to have leisure thoughts about his opponent.

He did not avoid the fist immediately, as golden currents slithered all over his skin for an instant, as if he was wrapped in the power of lightning, making him resemble a speedster.

Bzz~

[Instant Flash - Within a range of your Source, can appear anywhere at any moment and time as long as there is Divine power to spare. Appearing anywhere across the Universe is not impossible]

In the next millisecond, the fist punched through an after image. The real Enigma appeared above the beggar, grabbed him by the hand and threw him away using almost all of his strength.

'[Instant Flash] is only temporary, to outrun this guy I will need [Divine Speedster] and [Weightless] used together, hmm... Okay then, here goes nothing.'
