Chapter 107 Allen's Chronicles: Brothers
This meant that the Eastern hemisphere will have shade forever, as a corpse of an ancient deity with a manifested Divine Body will not rot even after tens of millions of years. Probably no more rain as well.

『Oh well, I guess it's my mistake』The voice resounded once again, not much bothered by the situation, albeit it sounded unstable this time around.
Following that, the entire Universal being crumbled down, resulting into a white haired, pale young boy, with bright golden eyes that seemed to illuminate the world, which turned gray with passing time.
"E...nigma?" Allen finally flew up and and saw the old albeit young looking Enigma. Shock was an understatement for his current emotions... he was mentally unstable.
A lot of questions formed in his head. Like how, when, how come and the likes. It was fine when he was not sure, but now that he was sure, he found it hard to believe.
"Hm? You are—?" The white haired stiff, yet young looking handsome lad turned around to question the person who called him. But his vision darkened and he fell unconscious before he could even finish his own question.
"Dude!!!" Allen flew up towards him and caught him. "Dumbass, even if you have a Providence above the Zenith Grade, don't you know using it will damage your true soul?"
"You know him?" A dirty man, who looked like a beggar, albeit still quite handsome, appeared before Allen and asked with a frown on his face. Even he did not believe everything he just saw.
"And what if I do?" Allen looked back and replied cautiously. Enigma was his companion, thus family within this world. If he could not look after him, then how were they supposed to be a clan or a pantheon?
Plus Enigma protected him and his people.
"Don't be unreasonable brat!! Who gave you the right to speak to me in that manner?!" The beggar pointed his finger at Allen and blew his top off.
'Damned bastard, aren't you the one speaking down on me instead?' Allen, who didn't know about the beggar's attitude, was caught off guard and almost retorted back.
"I'm sorry then, if you MAY allow me to take my good BROTHER here to safety, I would appreciate it." Instead, watching Enigma's sickly complexion, he held back.
He then said such words, those he made sure to emphasize on a few words to make his point clear, in case the beggar was not only annoying, but stupid as well.
"...Brother?" The beggar paused for a moment. Looks aside, they looked nothing similar. Though their charm was considerably high for lesser deities, that was not abnormal for otherworlders like them.
The reason he was not surprised was because of the small grain-sized golden lights around Allen. They usually appeared when he and Enigma fight. He was unaware that it was faith points.
Enigma used it to boost his speed when they escaped the Colossal bird as well, and Allen used it to conjur a barrier for his people. Either way, out of everyone within this Continent, the beggar was sure that they were the only ones.
Excluding that brat who tried to provoke the Dragon God, then they were the only two. Out of more than billions of living beings, only three of them could use this unique power.
And they were all within the same Region. So who was to say they were not related whatsoever?
"...Fine then, suit yourself." The beggar spread out his hands as a sign of stepping back, and relented from his earlier attitude.
"Wow, your tone suddenly changed. It's no more repulsive." Allen commented with a snicker. He knew he was no match for the beggar, but what was there to be afraid of?
He could not trust the beggar because he was not sure whether he was a friend or foe. And secondly, Enigma was really out cold and needed attention as soon as possible.
"Why you..?!" The beggar grit his teeth and held his anger back. He had to give Enigma some face, as the boy really risked everything for them, no, for him.
"Ah!! There it is, much better." Allen laughed, honestly, the repulsive tone suits the beggar more than being cordial. Bit those were just his thoughts only.
"...."
Allen did not mind the beggar anymore, instead he flew down gently towards his current stronghold. The beggar stared at his back, then at Enigma.
"Haah~ Kids, putting a burden on the old. Now I have to go and find a way to appease your people." He shook his head and vanished from out of sight, like a Wraith taken away by the wind.
The World Forest Region was not far away from here, at most, he had to cross hundreds of billions of miles of distance to reach it. Which was two hours time with his base speed.
The reason it took them months, before was because Enigma went through the whole Green Continent trying to run away from the Colossal Bird, before arriving here.
As for the senior, he did not forget to dig for a beast core within the bird, and he was quite lucky, he managed to find one. He wasn't going to use it, being unreasonable did not mean he was evil.
He was going to give it to Enigma's people as a parting gift. At most, the chance to learn a divine skill through the core was very high. 'At least his death was valiant.'
And just like that, peace returned to the Redwood Region... After the loss of over five hundred million beings and half a hemisphere. And fortunately, the Gargereans took most of the damage from this attack.
Allen's thoughts were right, the Gargereans had a True God supporting them. One from the previous batch of the third generation. Meaning they were a few yirs, tens of years, older than them.
But they, who could rival a Star rated Empire, could do nothing to an ancient being. Hell even the highest three Star Empire of this Region would fall before an ancient being. Let alone them.
The damage they suffered were so severe that, from being One Star Rating, they were reduced to Small Kingdom Rating. From 7 000 Divine beings to less than 200.
If promoting people from the third league to become deities was between 19 to 10 units of faith power, the poor True God probably lost more than 120 000 to 65 000 units of faith power.
Which was probably his savings the past thirty years within the Nine Worlds. He probably left them here because he thought they were powerful enough, but all that was gone because of one big miscalculation.
'All's well in love and war... I'm definitely leaving this place though, we will just continue East and cross Regions as far as possible.' Allen thought as he carried Enigma in a princess carry and slowly descended towards the barrier.
Meanwhile, he mentioned a feat that even Deity Kings would not so easily mention. Crossing regions. This was something small for him, who crossed Continents before.
And obviously, the same Allen, was unaware of the jealous glares Enigma got from a certain few ladies. But after realizing he was male and probably injured, they all became docile and well behaved.
'If possible, I hope my legs can lead me to a fortunate place... Just like how I found myself arriving within the circles of the Amazons.' He thought and entered the barrier.
"Krishna..." He lightly called out.
"Yes dear?" Krishna obediently walked over, her Greatsword and giant shield were left behind. Only her necklace, was with her. It was the only Divine artifact that was inconspicuous on her.
"Pack up, we are leaving." Allen responded.
"Yes, right away." Krishna did not even doubt him one moment. She believed in him as much as she believed in herself, just like how everyone else here did.
But before she left, she sent one more glance at Enigma, who was so charming she felt her heart palpitate just from looking at him. His serene and peaceful expression, pale complexion and silver-white hair made him look like a stranded fairy far from home.
At one moment, with his hair let down, he looked feminine. But after another glance, he looked male. But just as charming nonetheless. And Krishna was happy about that... the fact that he was a Male and not a Female.
Even if they were siblings, if Allen's sister was this beautiful, she wouldn't have the courage to call herself his wife. Unfortunately for her, Enigma's restrictions, especially the one on charm, were removed.
Meaning that for an entire year, this was what they had to deal with. It was worse when Allen sat down besides him, fed him, clothed him and changed his clothes.
He couldn't trust Enigma's charm as well. He would not want to be c*ckolded by his own peer, and by mistake even. The charm of gods could affect even decision making skills.
Even a person who believed in their love for their partner, would find themselves falling for the charm of another being, if that said charm was beyond a certain level.
