Aeneas stood protectively before the cloaked Goddess, and defiantlysat his eyes upon Enigma. Who likewise returned his own gaze of intrigue and playfulness.

The soroundings were laid down with silence, as nobody had thought that the battle would take such a drastic path.

"Senior, I don't think it is necessary for us to do this." Aeneas relaxed his presence and decided to still, come up with a clean approach. He seemed more like a Neutral God than anything at the moment.

"Why would you say so? The lass clearly attacked me, why should I not respond as such?" Enigma smiled lightly, like an elder towards a junior, as he casually inquired.

"Senior, it was a careless mistake. I can assure you of that. I am–"

"Don't bother, please." Enigma cut him off before he could continue, "Though I am partially curious how you consider her actions a mistake. I will not bother with that either."

"Instead, if it is as you say, I would like for an apology from her. It is fine, as long as she can realize her mistake and apologize. No need to kneel or anything, just be... sincere about it."

"It is, a mistake after all. And forgiven is part of being virtuous." He concluded, his hands still behind his back as he spoke. His presence still that of a senior, a representative of the past Era.

"...."

Aeneas did not say anything, nor did he mind the behavior of the other party. Instead, he turned to look at the cloaked Goddess behind him, who, before he even spoke, spoke up.

"I will not." She said. Her tone sturdy and determined, as if nothing could make her take back those words.

"Hypno, it's just an apology. There is no need for us to do this." Aeneas' tone was soft and low, but the other party did not give him any respect and still denied.

"No means no." She said, then added, "What are you so afraid of? It's just a single person? He doesn't even have his powers from the past, and we are four of us."

"But, you clearly–"

"He is nothing at all. If you don't feel like fighting, just stay back and I'll do it myself." She disregarded Aeneas, and floated before him, and stared at Enigma without faltering.

"...."

"How daring. I guess, that failed you, Dragon of Aether" Enigma ignored her, and turned his eyes towards Aeneas, curious what this fellow's actions would be from now on.

"So, what would it be? She's clearly intent on killing me, for reasons I do not know off. Thus, I am afraid, I will have to respond wisely, and reciprocate her kindness." He added.

"Haaah~" Aeneas let out a sigh of exhaustion, as he moved to stand besides the Goddess he called Hypno, his figure exploding out with pure might, that did more damage to the exposed Void, if anything.

"I am sorry then, I will fight." He only let out such words, as he did not explain himself. Enigma was intrigued, as relationship wise, this two weren't a couple.

Nor were they siblings, their friendship was also not that great. Yet, one was still willingly to risk their life trying to protect the other? Was it the Pantheon's effects?

Of course, he knew this because of Fate and Destiny. But he was still collecting them for resources. Regardless of their situation, or... relationship.

"All is fine, then. I respect your decision to stick together through thick and thin... but, this woman... no, let me not speak any further." He stopped himself from commenting.

Because he just thought about it carefully. He could not judge her, or them. As he knew that he would also do the same for his brothers, and probably Louise.

Bella too, and Lulu. The other True Gods under Jin as well. He was 100% he would choose them, over the world as well. Regardless of their feelings for him.

...That was slowly changing though. Slowly, but surely. And Allen was at fault.

"Thank you." Aeneas said sincerely, slightly nodding in respect. Enigma likewise nodded back, and raised up his hand, which brought caution to everyone.

Their muscles, including Goddess Hypno's, tensed greatly, afraid of what would come out next, if not another Cosmic Storm.

But right at this moment, Aeneas, who was no more holding back, made the first move. He waved his hand towards Enigma, twisting Space itself apart.

Then as Space twisted and reformed itself, they appeared within a Spirit Realm that stretched out for quite the distance. At most, being vaster than a billion natural Universe in diameter alone.

Everything within the Realm was incorporeal, and the Sky was filled up with multiple stars, more than decillions upon decillions of them lined up.

And below, were beings, who were likewise incorporeal, moving and enjoying their lives. To them, the Gods did not seem to exist. Not because they were material, but because they were a different form of 'Spirit'.

"Hmm~" Enigma suddenly felt movement below, as eighteen gigantic Dragon Spirits flew up towards him. Each one stretching over billions of light years in size, like personified galaxies.

A few amongst them being larger than Universes. The lead being so large, even Universes would seem no different than mere grains of sand to it.

ROOOOAAARRR!!!

ROOARRR!!!

ROOOAAARRR!!!

ROAR!!

The Dragon Spirits roared out aloud, kicking up a powerful shockwave that threatened to destroy even space itself. But the beings below, were still unaffected, and apathetic to the situation up here.

"A unique sort of Realm?" Enigma wondered, remembering that even the lowest ranked Realm, a Lesser Realm, should be transcendent over Reality and all of its Concepts.

He then raised his head to face the rising eighteen dragon spirits, which were in varying sizes. Not threatened by their presence, or numbers.

"Yes." Aeneas only responded as such, and did not say anything more. He did not mention anything else about the Realm, how strong it was, or what it's purpose were.

He was being careful.

Unfortunately, Enigma was the Master of Fate, and Destiny. He already knew almost everything about this Realm, that could be considered the Afterlife of the believers of Aeneas.

Within this place, formed from an innate treasure of the Aether Dragon, any soul sent here would be nourished with Reiki and spiritual force constantly.

And those with a higher Affinity, and Faith, would resonate more with the Spiritual Force, and Reiki. Within the millions of years he was born, so far, eighteen souls had become Divine Spirits.

At the level of Origin beings, the strongest one being half-step into becoming a Transcendent Soul. And as Dragon Spirits, their stats were also terrifying.

As for those below, Enigma knew that without a Soul or Spirit Law, he would not be able to affect them. In fact, to those below, everyone here was just Illusory and non existant.

"A decent artifact." He nodded, but was not envious. He could create a similar artifact if he so wished, by sacrificing a few Fragments.

But it was useless, as his people were already perverted enough.

Especially with the new Blessing. He still could not get over the fact that billions of Chosens will be born with his region... and how the World Will would respond to his current actions. 'She'll be pissed off, greatly.' He bitterly thought.

But he would solve that a few seconds later. For now, his focus should be the Dragon breathe that was being charged up by the Dragon Spirits rushing towards him.

Each one opened their mouth during the flight, as Illusory Stars began breaking down at an Instantaneous speed.

Not just one or two stars, but a terrifying number of them. The smallest opponent having tens of sextillions of stars silently combusting and regathering within their throats.

While those other Dragons, with larger sizes, had terrifying numbers close to Octillions of stars. Rivaling the power of an imploding Universe. And this was being reinforced with Dragon Force.

'The final effects would be devastating to experience head on.' He calculated, yet was not overly cautious about it.

Enigma himself was also curious, whether the damage would truly rival that of an imploding Universe or multiple Galaxies, or it was just Illusory as well.

Luckily, these fellows had no Laws, thus no Law boosts, and no True Damage boost, or True Defense boost. And, speaking of that, couldn't he easily kill them off?

"...."

Fate affirmed it, and he moved to do it without so much as hesitating. It was about time, the battle reached its climax, and everyone became serious.

The Four Transcendental Gods did not make a move, nor did they lessen their gaurds. They just watched as eighteen beams of light pieced through the exposed Void.

Each beam was grandly large, with a diameter of hundreds of light years, the strongest beam even rivaling a Universe in diameter.

And all of them, pieced through the exposed Void towards a single entity.

One so small and insignificant, that he didn't even seem to exist when he stood before the eighteen beams. But such an existence was the calmest of every one here.

In fact, such an insignificant existence, seemed more significant than even they, themselves, even when all of them were Transcendental Gods.

Even the unreasonable Goddess Hypno, and the stubborn Sun God Sane, had the same thoughts. While the being that was said to Transcend Causalty itself, was slightly more relaxed.

The battle was chaotic.

"...."

Enigma smiled, but did not speak. Just like them, he felt no need to say anything at all. Instead, he only summoned a single Fragment that was the size of a grain of sand.

It resembled a single sparkling glitter in front of him, with a high light intensity, that made it resemble a firefly. He then proceeded to charge up the Fragment with Reiki.

The last time he did any of this, was when he fought Goddess Abigail, where thousands of Reiki were enough to shape a single Fragment into a Crystalized spear of three meters in size.

And this time, he was intending on adding millions of Reiki within. Whilst, powering it up with the high ranked Unique Skill, [Meteorite Hypernova].

As a high ranked Unique Skill, it almost rivaled a low ranked Divine Skill. It could deal Concussive damage that was a thousand times his innate physical damage.

And Enigma's Damage was currently around Hyperversal. Him multiplying that by another thousand, was pretty much an overkill against beings below Multiversal at most.

But he did not seem to mind that fact much.

Instead, as if everything was irrelevant to him, and as the nanoseconds flashed by, Enigma watched the Fragment that was at the same size as a grain of sand...

Grow, grow and grow even larger and thicker.
