"There are five Heroes with beyond Chosen talents like Ancient Origins, and two are Demigods, we only need your help in pushing her back and helping us keep her from sacrificing more lives. Please!!!" She concluded with a kowtow.

Enigma and Allen looked at each other once again and nodded at the same time. Herara just so happened to raise her head up and saw them nod at each other. Her heart beat almost jumped in excitement.

"Then you will..." She hopefully asked, Enigma nodded at her with a smile and Allen shrugged, "We can't promise you anything though. All we can do is support you guys at most. And you better reward us."

"That's more than enough. And yes, I'll reward you all plentiful." She stood up in joy and hurriedly dragged them out. Both of them helplessly let her do so without complaining. She was like a child anyway.

Four royal candidates who are Demigods, two Heroic Demigods, two Hero Kings with Demigod prowess, twelve High Heroes and two Ancient Origins with Demigod prowess. Even if they could not kill a God, they should be able to push it back, right?

Not long after they left, they arrived at conference room with three of the royal candidates circling each cardinal direction of the round table, and four of their heroes behind them, standing at attention.

Herara also had a vacant seat and hurriedly stood there, with Allen and Enigma in tow. There was enough space for both of them, but the first and second royals did not like this arrangement one bit.

Allen realized it and hurriedly interjected before the could say their dissatisfaction, "Ten billion has already died, you don't seriously want to start arguing now do you... o' your royal highnesses?"

He mocked with a loght smile, letting out the unrestrained aura of a man in control. The second princess did not say anything and just averted her gaze, while the first prince frowned, as if he had more to say. Enigma saw this and sighed lightly.

『Haaah~』

That sigh alone shook everyone to their core, because... this was Divine tongue. Even the first prince was convinced and had a thoughtful expression. This tone was not for mortals or gods, it was completely Outer and could influence Reality, as it was powered by the Essence of Reality itself, Reiki.

Allen was also surprised, but after remembering the advanced divine art, "Divine Word", he sighed to himself. 'Dude, how are we going to solve this now? What if they let us fight with the Goddess by ourselves?'

Enigma had purposely shown off just to shut them up, all because he felt annoyed, as well as not in the mood to argue. And the more he felt this feeling, the more he got annoyed and felt a bit... suffocated inside. A new feeling he didn't know about, one he did not like either, had just appeared within him.

'....'

But not to worry his friend and recently sworn brother, he covered it all up with a smile, which Allen felt strange looking at it. As if everything was okay, yet not okay at the same time. He felt it with just a glance.

"Ahem, excuse these two gentlemen. This is Al and his brother En, a pair of recently found Ancient Origins. Wait!! Don't jump your horses yet." Herara raised her hand to stop Rodriguez from speaking.

She then continued, "They have lost their divinities and are now trying to regain them. They could fight demigods at most, so, don't put pressure on them. And absolutely, don't dig your own grave. Not like I care if you do."

"Hold on dearest sister, how sure are we that they are not lying to us?" He ignored her as well as Allen's previous mocking words and still asked, staring intently at Enigma. His golden eyes meeting the latter's gray eyes.

Herara frowned and wanted to say something, but Enigma was faster. He raised his hand and thousands of golden sprites of light appeared around it, circulating like a resplendent galaxy in his hand.

"How cute, truly, a small Mortal like you is bold enough to act presumptuous and even dare—" His words were suddenly cut short as his eyes flashed golden for a brief moment and stopped. Then he put his hand way and averted his face, "My apologies."

Athena was sitting on her throne and minding her own business when she felt a mysterious force trying to dig into her soul, with a light smile, she grabbed the air and gently tore apart the force with a flick of her hand.

'I'm sorry leader, you're not ready to bare my Pride yet. Hold on a bit longer.' She thought as she went back to minding her business. She knew Louise would get angry, but it was all for his good, so she didn't mind.

'Dearest sister, don't hate me okay? Big sister is only doing what she was told to do.' She snickered in her heart and stopped thinking about the couple that was destined to suffer together. Yet maybe not this lifetime.

As for who was behind her, and possible behind the scenes in regards to Enigma and his mysteries, it was unknown. And Athena being Athena, would not let her thoughts run wild just to satisfy the people viewing everything from a high point.

'After all, that would only dull the plot, and make it trashy. It's better this way. We are both satisfied, isn't that... <<Watcher>>?' She thought to herself, her Darin smile staring at nothing but the air before her.

Meanwhile back at the conference room, everyone was looking at Enigma in fear and admiration Allen had also went forward and pulled him back to calm him down, and also to talk about his condition.

Enigma himself felt strange. He had joked about not promoting due to becoming overly powerful, but now, he seriously considered it. Not because of the same reason, but because of fearing who he might ultimately become at his peak.

Would he even still be himself at that point? Or would he be a completely different person altogether? He was feeling suffocated inside his heart because of fear. This was the first time he tasted this emotion.

He was fearful... That was a fact. Fearful of gaining irreversible power only to lose his reason and become someone else when these so called feelings and emotions control him. For the first time, he trult felt fear.

'It's alright dude, calm down, aren't you getting a bit too invested into this role play?' Allen sent a message through his thoughts as he pulled Enigma all the way back, towards Bella and the others.

But Enigma's listless response shocked him.

'...Allen, friend, dear brother, I need help... serious help... I'm lost... and confused... and, also fearful...' Enigma thoughtlessly sent out this words to Allen through telepathy as well. He was not thinking straight, but that message was enough to send Allen shivers down his spine.

Allen was even shocked in response, it was the first time he had seen Enigma like this, and also felt this much internal despair from someone of his being. Not just someone, a True God such as Enigma.

He frowned, 'Tell me about it.'

'....'

~~~

Time flashed by, and the conference ended. Enigma and Allen stayed far from everyone, and even used faith to create a barrier to isolate themselves as well.

To others, it seemed as if Allen was giving a lecture to Enigma, while Enigma tried to explain himself. But unfortunately, that was not so. What the two were discussing, was a very deep and personal question.

It was a question that most people should ask themselves before they wish for wealth, power or even status: Would whatever I wish for, change who I am, to who I used to be? Would the current me be brought?

Allen felt everything Enigma said, and took it to heart. He knew such feelings. They might never come to him due to his behavior and lack of trying, but he knew. Thus he tried his best to advice his good brother.

That aside, nothing much occurred. The conference went perfectly fine, and everyone was on their way towards the Tier Seven Goldberg Divine City that was just recently destroyed.

Within a carriage, Herara sat at one side with Bella and Florence, while facing them was Allen, Enigma and the boys, Jim and John, respectively. The carriage was large enough to accommodate all of them.

Herara and Bella looked on worriedly at Enigma, while Florence was appreciating the outside view, seemingly oblivious to everything. She did seem to care much about what Enigma was going through.

Enigma was doing the same, but his gray eyes had lost a bit of luster and he seemed a bit more pale. It was hard to tell, but to a woman, even the smallest detail could be differentiated. Especially so, if the women cared about him.
