Chapter 261 Taming Destiny, Jade's Determination
Denying his actions, would be denying his actions, as well as denying the Rules of CHAOS. Of course, as is, people with Greater and Supreme Divinities could still ignore all of that.
This was one downfall of Skills, but Enigma did not mind. To him, all he had to do was become an Ascendency God, and even beyond Supreme Divinities such as Creators wouldn't judge him!!
Next up would be, [Transcendent Hybrid Physiology]. A Unique Skill that allowed one to be a hybrid in most cases, where one would be expected to only have one.
Such examples being Races, Physiques or even Bloodlines. And for Enigma, who could become the Prime Existence of the race he was mimicking... it allowed him to become the Prime Existence of two races now.
This two peak Divine Bloodlines. And if fused... which he was currently doing, would give him the [Prime Transcendent Hybrid Physiology], a Unique+ Skill.
It had the same effects as forementioned, but at a much higher level. The two Bloodline he would have could also dominate even Minor Gods, which along with Demigods, were Lesser Divinities.
Such beings would not even dare to go against the Bloodline Supprrssion between them. Which was something greater than Realm Suppression by a whole degree!!
His next Skill in line was [Subjective Reality], a Skill that he honestly just wanted to skip and ignore for the time being. And he did so, as his other conscious immediately carelessly fused it into a newly formed Skill Tree.
<[Plot Master]>, a Skill Tree formed from [Subjective Reality] + [Divine Assistance] + [Success Inducement] + [Golden Luck] + [Omni-Counter] + [Action Inducement] + [Path Maker].
A Unique+ Skill Tree, with powerful sub skills including [Deus Ex Machina], [Protagonist Halo], [Plot Narrative], [Plot-Omniscience], [Prologuer], [Concluder] and [Character Identification].
Powerful Skills that literally defied common sense, and the Rules of CHAOS. Imagine having such Skills... of course, as things were, Greater Divinities and above could resist it.
Especially Creators and those above, whom Enigma himself believed that each had their own Plot-Influence abilities, if said Ability was not passive... and Ancient Gods, whom he guessed were beyond the Plot of the Storyline.
Of course, these were his guesses, and he himself was not sure. But such a mindset, did do wonders on humbling him as he moved on.
Some of the fused Skills by yet another consciousness included [Luck Erasure] + [Absolute Erasure] to a Unique+ [Absolute Erasure] which could absolutely erase Lesser Deities and those below.
As well as [Rank Creation] + [Rank Demotion] to the Unique+ [Rank Demotion]. He could strip down the Divinities of Lesser Divinities as if he was a God Lord himself...
After all, a Divinity was a sort of Cosmological Rank. This also included either Hierarchies such as those in Hell, Heaven, Spiritus, The Abyss as well as Purgatory...
Up next was [Cube-Fold] + [Internal Rupturing] to the Unique+ [Ten-Fold Internal Obliteration] Skill. A Skill that converted ten times the strength of Enigma into internal damage.
Imagine entire Cosmos exploding within your inner body, affecting your consciousness and even soul. That... would not be a nice experience to wish upon your enemies.
Then [Divinition] + [Cosmic Knowledge] to the Unique+ [Realitimancy], a weird named skill that allowed one to gain insights and knowledge from genuine Realities.
Meaning that he could gain information within the scope of countless of Universes. He could know something that was occurring Sextillions upon Sextillions of light years away from him.
It was like literally gaining the favor of Reality.
But that was not all. [Flawless Indestructibility] + [G-Force Adaptation] to the Unique+ [Flawless Indestructibility], which now included even Minor Gods as well.
His target audience shifted from just being Gods, to Greater Divinities and above. And soon... it would be just Supreme Divinities!!
"Yup, maybe that was enough for the day. The Divine Skills, can wait for until I can truly use them. Until next time... Or maybe not." Hus consciousness thought in bitterness.

Enigma sat crossed legged and thought about things for a very long time. Jade was sitting on his lap, playing around with his body, as she channeled her unique Force into him.
"...Wait, why stress? I can just collect more scrolls within the dungeon and get over with all of them. Yup, for now, I'll just choose the one that I'm more interested in."
Yes, the reason why the Skill Analysis even began was because Enigma was curious what the effects of a Divine Scroll were, compared to True Will's "Skill Evolution: Divine" chances.
But mid way, he got too absorbed and lost the purpose of his analysis. Now that he was done, he came to such a realization.
"Your unique skill "Reality Condition(×1)" have been evolved to the Unique skill "Reality Affix(×2)", you can now place two Conditions upon yourself that can affect Multiversal Realities"
"Destiny is glad of your choice, she has decided to follow you, as she believes that you also like her, just as much as her sister"
"Congratulations on Taming "Destiny", you have attained the law of "Aspect Destiny" and the Divinity "Master of Destiny""
"...You have recieved the enigmatic skills "Purpose", "Infinite Possibilities" and "Unending Cycle". Your Destiny River is enlarging, and can now affect a larger range of people"
"...Well, I promised not to complain. And how the hell do these Aspects determine my feelings?" Enigma could only steel his heart and sigh in exasperation how easily it was for him to gain Divine skills.
And Aspects...
"Fate is reprimanding Destiny for rushing things without permission. Destiny is apologetic and is willing to atone for her sins"
"Fate forgave Destiny and have reconciled. Fate and Destiny have once again fused to become one, breaking the limits upon themselves and becoming a nigh-Mystery"
"...Thats good for them." He could only force himself to say that. But things were not over, in fact, they just begun.
"Your [Fate] and [Destiny] have collaborated and resulted into the nigh-Absolute Authority of Fate and Destiny"
"Your Divinities "Master of Fate", "Master of Destiny" and "Divine Judge" have fused to form the Main Divinity "Judge of Living Being's Fate" and the divine skill "Path Lord""
"Your Divine Skills "Karmic Casualty+" and "Purpose+" have fused to form the Divine++ skill "Master of Epics""
"Your Divine Skills "Fate Kneeding+" and "Infinite Possibility+" have fused to form the Divine++ skill "Endless Miracles""
"Your Divine Skills "Paradox Lord+" and "Path Lord+" have fused to form the Divine++ skill "Paradox Lord of Paths""
""Master of Epics++" has been affected by your main divinity to become the ???? Skill "Master of Primal Epics""
""Endless Miracles++" has been affected by your own Providence, becoming the ???? Skill "Meta Miracles""
"...."
"You done?" Enigma asked in exasperation. He could not hold it anymore, this was just too broken. He needed a way out, a reason to keep trying because...
At this rate, he would just have to depend on the flow of nature. Without putting in effort at all, and just growing stronger.
"...If it makes you happy, I have a gift for you"
The system said after a pause. It could sense how helpless Enigma was, but he was not broken. Plus, knowing him, he might forget about this tomorrow and continue with his experiments.
"...Which is?" He asked back, a bit intrigued. Indeed, he didn't put much focus on the skills this time around unlike in the past. He just ignored them once again and let Fate take its course, escaping reality.
He also found a new way to help relieve himself from such burdens. Fusing Skills, after all, the number of divine skills decreased... ignore the recently added ???? Skills.
"...."
The system opted to ignore him. It was omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent, according to its claims. It also knew that Enigma would... one day, come through.
"I made you a new template"
It said. Enigma first thought that it referred to his Template, and thus opened it up. But after seeing no change, either than a few additions, he was confused.
"Papa..? Did Jade hurt papa?" Jade saw his expression that was off confusion, at first, she thought that she added too much energy and hurt him.
"Hm? What was that baby girl?" Enigma asked as he didn't hear her clearly. Jade didn't seem like she heard him and instead looked at him with determination, "Don't worry, papa. Jade... Jade will definitely heal you!!"
She said, her determination making her look cute, and mesmerizing Enigma for a bit with all the adorableness. Heal me? Do I look I'm hurt to you? Or am I a sick... yeah, I probably do look sick, don't I?
"Hm. Papa believes in Jade. If Jade can't do it, then nobody else will." He smiled while gently rubbing her head, for once, his smile seemed genuine and affectionate.
"Hm!!" Jade nodded in might, and continued to put her hands on his chest, transmitting her unique Force, dubbed Life Force, into his body with a stern expression.
"...I made you a new template"
The system interrupted the lovey-dovey moment between father and daughter and repeated itself, luckily only Enigma could see and hear from it, as Jade continued her... treatment.

'This...' Enigma didn't know what to say at first. He didn't know that pantheons had templates, unless this was something specifically for him just like his other Templates.
"Indeed"
'Indeed my ass, explain everything to me first. This thing looks pretty neat and interesting.' Enigma's eyes shone with intrigue as he found something else to do.
"There's nothing to explain"
'Let me correct your errors then. Why is Cheryl there? I don't remember forming a pantheon with her, Hell, I doubt she's even in the God Realm.' He asked in skepticism.
"She was connected through Michu and Michelle, just as how you recieved prayers from the cultivators that praise and worship them... Likewise, one of your lost daughters has acknowledged Louise as a parent"
The system's response sent a chill down his spine. Because, he now finally knew who the mother of his two new daughters were. Worst of all, she was close with Louise!!
'....'
His situation just got eerily strange. Not only did one of Jo's daughters acknowledge his fiancee as a mother, thus gaining her Bloodline, two others already had the Bloodline of another woman!!!
Who just so happens to be his fiancee's close sister in arms!! 'This is insane. So much, that I'm feeling lightheaded. This whole matter just evolved into a drama of sorts...' He thought in dread and hopelessness.
