Chapter 136 Enigma's Breakthrough
『ID: Enigma Mystique』
『Congratulations for breaking through. You have gained a new Divinity, "Pale God". ???????? ?????. You have one chance to either upgrade one of your Providence or gain a new one. What would your choice be?』
『Providence(5): Rabbit God's Arsenal (Unique), All-Elemental Mastery (Unique), The Miracle (???), Pirate King's Treasury (Unique), Soul King's Vault (Unique)』
『Artifacts(1): Fate - Series (???)』
『Congratulations. You have gained "Haki Manifestation", "Spiritual Manifestation" and "Prognitor of Existence" Providences』
『You have one chance to upgrade one of your Divine Arts (Basic). Please make your choice』
『You have recieved "Faith Empowerment", you can use Faith to power yourself. Your population has been multiplied by ten. You can now have 2 860 believers. Enjoy your trials and do make sure to promote even faster』
『True God Pantheons have been temporarily postponed for a year』
『Your Constellation Pixies have officially become a Mythical Race. They can NOT YET increase their race by accepting other Pixies from Terra's Paradise Realm (Spiritus)』
『Two people have been acknowledged as your children. The bonus effect can be shared with the mother 50/50. Would you like to share it with her now?』
"Hm? Is she a True God?"
『Yes』
"Is it Louise? She can keep it herself then." Enigma carelessly said so, without even verifying if it was Louise or not. She was the only possible candidate, and he had no reason to doubt it.
『Noted. Your Faith Discount has increased by 5%. You have been acknowledged as a Trial type, you can now have a "×9" bonus to your total faith』
『Your Divine Power Reserves has been increased to 5 000 000』
『You can now form five fragments per week. A thousand fragments can be fused to form one Shard of Divinity (Have a Divine believer first to unlock other functions)』
"Is that it? And hey, is it normal to gain three Providence at once?" He asked, maybe it was normal and he was also normal. But then again, he was probably bring delusional right now.
"It is, if you're reincarnating three people at once... Which is not normal at all"
"...So I can reincarnate more?" He further asked, but he didnt require an answer to the question. For even he could guess the answer.
"...Who knows?"
"...What are Shards?" He frowned and looked at the gloating screen of blue light before him. Then he decided to ask once again. He was asking a lot of questions, which might be annoying, but he had no choice.
"No idea"
"...Why can't my Pixie—"
"Beats me"
"It seems like I can't evolve Advanced Divine Arts to Superior level."
"Hm"
"...."
"...."
"...You seem tired? Are you tired? It's fine, I'll give you enough time to rest, if you're tired." He smiled his usual smile as he looked at the system. And yes, he was annoyed, but he did not expect its reply.
"I'm sorry, don't take it to heart... geez"
The system had seen what he did to that woman in that white Void, and it was convinced that Enigma regained some of his emotions and feelings. He was starting to feel annoyance recently as well... Maybe a lot more often.
"Why are you apologizing?" Enigma tilted his head as he asked. Unfortunately despite him regaining his feelings, they were always clouded over by that smile of his. And him regaining them, did not mean they controlled him.
"Please don't take this to heart"
It said without hesitation. It might seem like the system did not need him since it was quiet mostly, but it actually did. After all, deep down, it was not an emotionless technological being such as a real system. Like him, and a few others, they were all fakes.
"It's fine. So, how do I find the God Realm?" Enigma gently laughed and shook his head, unaware why the system was so flustered all of a sudden.
"I can send you directly to the God Realm's Divine Empire, using the little bit of Essence of Reality that I have"
"How big is a Divine Empire anyway?" He asked, and luckily he got a response this time around. The system explained the difference between the Empires in a simplified way.
One Star dominated a hemisphere. They were Empires that had Higher Deities as the Ruler, a population of over a billion, an army of hundreds of millions. The main soldiers being Epics, and the average soldiers being Apprentices. The generals being Greater Deities. A hundred thousand gods within.
Two Stars dominated two hemispheres, and had mostly double of everything the former had. With their Ruler being a Deity Lord, the generals Higher Deities, main soldiers being Legends and average soldiers being Advanced warriors.
And Three Stars dominated an entire Region. With a world level population, hundreds of millions of soldiers, Deity Lord generals, Saint level main soldiers and god population at five hundred thousand. This three were considered Mortal Empires. Such as the Elven, Beastfolk Empires, and Sumerian Empires recently mentioned.
Four Stars dominated half a Continent, and the Difficulty to become a four star was also quite high. They had more than what Three Stars had, an Ancient Deity Ruler, tens of trillions of residents, a trillion soldiers, Deity King generals, Half Deity main soldiers and a frightening ten billion gods.
While Five Stars dominated an entire Continent, that was thousands of Regions. Their population easily surpassed fifty trillion residents, and their army density almost ten trillion soldiers. Enough man power to start up an entire Interstellar Systemical Organization.
Their Ruler were Ancient beings with manifested Divine Bodies, the peak of the current Middle Realms. Their generals were a level lower, and their main soldiers were lesser Deities. Their population of gods over a hundred billion.
And a single Continent covered hundreds of light years in size, including the sea sorounding it, which is not influenced by Sea Behemoths. This were then known as Sub-Domain areas.
The Rubrum, Aurum, Holy, Shade and Central Empires each were Five Star Empires but dominated tens of the Continents of the Central Cardinal. That was why Athena did not want to go against them... for now. They were on the path of becoming Divine Empires.
It was also because they were the only Empires with five stars, and had the right to look down on the sorounding Continents. Plus, becoming a Divine Empire, one must have thousands of Continents under them. An entire Cardinal under their influence!!
And then, now a Divine Empire. With how the strongest Empire the Middle Realm could hold had Ancient Deities with manifested Divine Bodies as Rulers, what of the illusory Divine Empires of the Higher Realms?
It was something far greater. It was able to rule an entire Cardinal of thousands of Continents, by itself. And since the God Realm was one whole Realm with no Continents, It made it convenient to be ruled by one monarchy.
But then again, despite being smaller than the Middle Realm, it was it was still one fifth of the entire Middle Realm in terms if size alone, which was still trillions of light years vast, if you were genuinely curious.
For example, if the Middle Realm was composed of an area worth millions of Cardinals, including the Endless Sea influenced by Sea Behemoths, which would be tens of millions of Light years, then the God Realm was around millions of Light years in size alone.
It would still take an ancient being around tens of thousands of years to go around the whole Realm and explore it, including the rests in between due to Source drainage.
And one Empire, ruled over it all, by itself. Why? The same reason as the five Five Star Empires, it was the only big powerhouse there. Being the highest ranked Divine Empire, a Third Phase Divine Empire.
An organization that ruled everything. Something the total size of an entire Cluster of Galaxies, with tens to hundreds of galaxies within. Approximately an area worth over a thousand galaxies.
That was Terra's Radiant Divine Empire. And it had to be known, even the weakest Divine Empire had a population over hundreds of qaudrillions, an army of tens of qaudrillions, and gods over tens of trillions in numbers.
While the strongest had over tens of quintillions of population, quintillions of army density, enough to represent an entire Universe just by itself, and gods around a quintillion in numbers. Let slime their Rulers, which were above the comprehension of the Middle Realm.
"...I can imagine their strength already, well deserving of an SSS-ranked Empire." Enigma thought, he also asked how many Main God level equivalents were there, and he got nothing from the system, just that they were there.
"Just know that the Divine Emperor is beyond that realm, and even the unparalleled you at the Main God Realm would only match up to their level. The princes and princesses are expected to become Outer Gods if they want to fight for the Throne"
