Chapter 94 Environmental Scaling And Transcendental Bearing V
Enigma thought as the golden current reappeared around his body, albeit like a transparent layer of armored golden lightning wrapping around his figure.
[Weightless - The feeling of being one with the wind and as light as a particles. Flexibility and dexterity will be more fluent, Speed is permanently increased by 50 times. Can further increase speed by 100 times when activated]
[Divine Speedster - Connect to the Speed Force temporary through Divine power, to manifest the basic abilities of a Speedster. (Adviced to create your own Force)]
Enigma breathed out lightly as he disappeared in a flash of golden trail. His speed was way beyond the comprehension of even deities like Sara and her sisters, only Nia could barely see through his speed.
And just barely.
The beggar gazed ahead with a crazed expression, one that closely resembled a cornered wolf. His body suddenly turned transparent and transformed into a cloud of mist, fluently allowing Enigma to pass right through him.
'Hm?' Enigma stopped in his tracks and frowned, but that was for only a moment. He once again flashed back towards the beggar with a trail of golden hue.
He realised that whenever he passed through the mist, it would spread out and disperse. Thus he went back and forth crisscrossing between the cloud of grey mist until there was nothing left of it.
'Strange, is an ancient bei—' Enigma who had stopped to sort out his thoughts suddenly froze still, with a shocked expression on his face. Black mist drifted out of his body and entangled him like a giant Python.
"He's caught?!" One of the dark elves covered her mouth in shock as she exclaimed in surprise. To them, Enigma was undefeatable, such a feat of tying him down was new to them.
"What should we do?" Sear looked back at Nia and inquired. She was worried, of course she was. Enigma could be considered a member of their tribe, an important one even.
"Don't worry, a battle between two wonders is not something you should put your head into." Nia kept her eyes focused on Enigma and the black mist as she commented.
"According to you, which do you think is deadly? The second or third wonder?" Soquel asked all of a sudden. They had the rumors of the 'False Reality' as well, and they definitely knew who it was.
"I'd say the third is more mysterious, while the second is more deadly." Sara commented from the sides, but then she frowned once again as she saw Enigma ignite into ball of flames, then exploded.
Boom!!
"On second thoughts, the second wonder has a higher death rate, but the third wonder is the sickest of them all. It's literally reality in a different form. You never know the difference between it and your reality." She added.
"I think so too." Soquel agreed as she saw Enigma flash away in a trail of golden hue, followed by another trail of black hue. The both of them flashed throughout the entire range in seconds, one behind the other.
"Isn't Lord Enigma being pushed back?" Sara asked all of a sudden, but the one who replied was not any of her sisters, but Nia, their queen goddess.
"He's not. It's something more like he's dragging the fight on." She twirled her hair and responded casually. She seemed carefree and unbothered by the ongoing battle.
"Why would he do that?" Sara, the most curious asked. She was almost the only one asking questions here.
"I don't know." Nia responded with a straight face and zero hesitation. She was not ashamed to admit that she understood 0% of Enigma's thought process.
"Hehehe, Aunt Nia sure is smart yet stupid at the same time." Suddenly, Enigma's voice drifted from far away, sounding light and carefree, as if he was teasing her.
"Brat, you've gotten comfortable around me have you not." Nia smiled as she gazed ahead, directly watching them run off a few miles away from her.
"I'm sorry, this is how my personality is around people I'm used to. Anyway, aunt Nia is right. I'm thinking of playing around with senior a bit more." He responded, albeit carefreely, lacking any hint of apology.
He learned this from her.
"Who gave you the idea that I'm older than you?! Impudent brat, I'll show you your place today!!!" Another voice resounded throughout the sky and the land, booming like the Thunder during a storm.
"Old man, your words contradict each other." Enigma sighed and retorted the beggar, then he casually sent another voice transference to Nia, "Anyway, aunt Nia, would you mind taking everyone back to Green River? It's only a month away from here, don't worry, I'm right behind you."
"Fine." Nia shook her head helplessly and herded her little dark elves towards the Green River.
"Thanks. Now I can go all out." Enigma whispered to himself and looked up at the beggar, "This is what you wanted too, isn't, old man? Guess you aren't as unreasonable as I thought you were."
"Since everyone is gone, we can now talk senior." Enigma smiled as he spoke. With a wave of his hand, he summoned tens of light balls around him, each releasing a light speed beam of concentrated light, enough to easily piece through a higher deity.
"Impudent!!!" The beggar, or rather the dirty senior in the clothes of a beggar shouted loudly and waved his hand as well. Immeasurable tornadoes suddenly appeared within every cardinal direction of the both of them.
The tornadoes rotated at a speed of more than 1000 miles per second. Faster than the speed of sound, causing their destructiveness to increase, and generating earth shattering force.
And finally, the tornado and the beams of light clashed together at full force, and mysteriously cancelled each other out.
"So, senior, who broke your heart?" Enigma smiled unabashedly as he asked, he pulled back in the process and sent out three lightning strikes towards the beggar.
Each one faster than light.
"...."
The beggar did not respond and just waved his hand, summoning an even more powerful tornado. This time around, Enigma's lightning was effortlessly swallowed and the tornado pulled at him with great force.
A force comparable to that of a Blackhole!!
'As expected. I have strength, speed, divine power and stamina enough to match his, but my laws are still R5. How can they compare to an R9 law? Or even a Pseudo True Law.' Despite saying that, golden lightning slithered around his body as he flashed away from the tornado.
"Come on senior, we are both the same, there is no need to be shy." He said casually, teasing the senior, his hands behind his back as he floated up calmly.
To be honest, despite being weaker, he was strangely calm for some reason. Maybe he was being arrogant? Nah, he immediately shook that thought out of his head.
"...What are you on about? I am nothing like you!! And I will never be!!" The beggar roared as he sent out light speed wind blades at Enigma, whose attitude pissed him off.
Enigma used [Divine Speedster] to dodge the supersonic wind blades, which had enough force to level an entire continent with ease, still with a casual smile.
He suddenly appeared before the beggar like a wraith, using [Instant Flash] to cross the large distance. But the beggar was not surprised, nor did he flinch back even a bit.
"We are both outers, we don't belong here, this isn't our Era. I am sure you at least know of that." He spoke lightly, enough for the beggar to hear him even though the wind was constantly roaring at their ears.
"...."
For once, the beggar showed a surprised expression as he looked at Enigma, not shouting for once. "You... You..."
"I was wondering why that scent of yours smelled peculiar, it's completely different from the people here. It reeks of the word 'foreigner'." Enigma suddenly pushed back and did not hesitate to activated [Environmental Scaling].
"R5-Devastating Lightning has become R6-Devastating Lightning"
"Realm suppression of the ancient deity (???) realm has been lifted"
"Note: Every Ultimate Skill you use will have a certain drawback due to your low realm. For the period of time you use this Ultimate skill, you will fall into slumber for three times that period afterwards"
The system suddenly bombarded him with notifications, but Enigma had no time to listen to them. Instead he waved his hand at his back, calling upon a lightning strike that struck the tornado, thus canceling each other out.
"Who are you? Are you one of them? Those above?" The beggar did not seem surprised by the sudden increase of Enigma's threat level, instead, he summoned tornado after tornado, resulting into the clouds gathering and turning dark.
"Those above? Now I am really curious." Enigma removed his hands from his back as lightning bolts formed in each hand. More lightning bolts formed behind him, ready to strike, like a knocked arrow on a bow.
"There's no need to act!!! If you've come to kill me, then do it already. Come at me!!!" The beggar sent out the Immeasurable tornadoes, strong enough to disrupt the rotation of Planets, at Enigma.
