Established Pinnacle: The Enigma



"What is the meaning of this?" The draconian legion master looked back down and inquired with a frown. He could see a third of the army remaining behind, none showing the intention to ascend.

Fortunately, Miranda and her army were part of those that were headed towards Elaide, and Mirai. But it was still a third of their overall man power staying.

A third of the army.

That was still hundreds of millions of living beings, as well as tens of legion masters. A terrifying set up that could dominate countless Worlds in a short span of time.

"Nothing, really. You guys just go up and back up the Great Emperor, we will remain here and take care of these beings." The high elven man said, pointing his divine wand towards Mirai's followers, as his robes danced within the air.

His Divine power was riled up, as multiple magic circles appeared around him, ready for the signal. The army behind him also responded with him, preparing for battle.

The other thirty something legion masters remaining, exchanged glances and nodded, activating their divine powers, and preparing for battle as well.

"Back up..? What back up?" The draconian legion master looked back, and finally realized the group that was previously standing behind Mirai. 'Huh? I couldn't feel their presence, without having to directly look at them. How terrifying.' He cautiously thought.

He was a Deity King leveled being, with enough power to rule over the Universe. Hell, if he so desired, his dragon breathe could annihilate the Universe itself, yet he failed to sense a small group of beings?

This just showed how terrifyingly powerful these beings were above him. And that being the case, 'It means that they are stronger than these cowards too. But it's fine, let them do as they please.' He thought.

'The less legion masters there are, the more attention we can obtain from the Great Emperor once we save him. Plus, the achievement of saving the Emperor himself, can only be obtained by few individuals.' He concluded his thoughts.

"Alright. Please do that, we will hurriedly return to reinforce you guys." He said, hurriedly flying up at speeds greatly beyond light speed as well.

More legion masters flew up, and followed after him. Some casting glances back down, before leaving. One of them being the nether elven legion master, who blew a kiss towards the high elven legion master.

"...This woman." The high elven legion master bitterly chuckled to himself, as he watched droves of over half a billion beings fly up towards the skies. 'May the Ancient World Tree be with you.' He thought, now focusing back on Mirai's followers.

On beings such as Natasha and Ophir for example. 'Now now, I wonder whether these powerful beings would be willing to lend an old bag of bones like me an ear.' His lips slightly curled up at the thought.

At the same time, Natasha and her fellow comrades kept looking at the separated army of the Silver Dragon Empire. Their thoughts already catching onto the hidden schemes taking place.

"Should I follow them up?" Ophir asked, pointing up at the Seven hundred million army of various god-leveled living beings. Her eyes hiding battle expectations, and murderous intent within.

"...Go. But make sure to not go overboard." Natasha sighed as she agreed. She was not worried for Natasha, as she knew that Ophir alone was more than enough for anyone below Emperor-hood.

Afrer all, her realm of power was that of a Lesser Dragon Emperor, but her battle prowess were those of a Greater Dragon Emperor.

Yet even the former, was capable of taking on hundreds of ordinary Dragon Kings without so much as a problem. Let alone the latter, who could easily do the same with the former.

Imagine when against mere number of seventy Deity King leveled beings, and an army of less than a billion. 'Child's play. Haha, let me show you all, what true power, and true terror really is!!' Ophir thought, blasting off into the distance at faster speeds.

"..."

"..."

Those remaining were the legion masters, their legions, and nineteen Lesser Dragon Emperors. Basically, it was a one man beat down.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Meanwhile, just as more than half the legion masters ascended towards Mirai and Elaide's position with their legions, just when Ophir chose to give chase with a void shaking battle intent, when Natasha and her fellow peers stood off against the remaining legions and their masters...

Mirai and Elaide, the two responsible for everything taking place, also stood face to face above the First Skies of the World of Terra, where only a select few beings could traverse.

They stood a hundred thousand miles above ground, and almost the same distance above the legion masters far below them.

"...."

Elaide, the Silver Prince and the now Great Emperor of the Silver Empire, an entity of great power... had none of his imperial visage on his face right now.

Only wariness and doubt replaced his divine majesty. Inexplicable weariness within his bones. And doubt so potent, he failing to determine the truth of his own logic.

'How is the girl that I left weak and confined centuries ago, now standing before me? With power rivaling mine, that I spent centuries thoughtlessly serving an Archdemon, to obtain... How?' His thoughts were as such.

Chaotic, and incoherent.

He could not understand anything.

For even if by chance Mirai did reverse the effects crippling her foundation, three hundred years was not enough to reach the power level he has obtained struggling daily.

For example ke, Mirai previously took almost eleven thousand years to reach the perfected Deity King realm. And even then, according to his calculations, it would take her over four thousand years to become a Lesser Deity Emperor.

After all, the current him was no less talented than the previous Mirai, thanks to Archdemon Riley. Yet even he could tell that to reach his current level, he would require almost thirty millenia.

Almost thirty thousand years.

Yet she did so, within just three hundred years? Only a hundredth of the required time? Possibly less, as he monitored her closely for the first few years. 'No. That's impossible. It's illogical.' He shook his head in denial.

"...."

Meanwhile, Mirai had anger, deep and ceaseless anger within her eyes.

Yet within that anger, were other emotions buried deep within. Feelings of the previous Mirai, and those of the current Mirai. Feelings so obscure and inexplicable, they were weighing her heart down.

"Why... No. Who are you?" Elaide finally spoke, rather, interrogated her. His power bubbling up within his heart as anger bloomed within as well. Anger even he couldn't explain whence it came from. "Tell me, what did you do to that coddled brat, Mirai?!"

He raised his tone at her, as the bellowing waves of power from him erupted out at the same time, and tore through the sorounding space. Tearing it apart like shredded paper.

"...."

Yet Mirai remained standing in place. Even as space was torn and shredded, revealing the endless desolate void, she remained standing. Unshakeable... She was unable to respond.

But the anger within her eyes was able to respond. It bubbled up even more, and released an even more powerful burst of power that shredded through the revealed void, to reveal glimpses of the outer void beyond the protection of Reality!!

"Impossible..?! Th–This is power..." Unlike her unshakeable bearing, Elaide was pushed back by her rageful aura, as he widened his eyes in shock. "Why... Why is such a presence here?! Who are you?! Tell me!! Now!!"

He was submerged in dread, as he felt the presence of a being resemblant of Archdemon Riley. Beings he met a fair number of within the past century, where each one, viewed them as mere disposables.

But despite that, he roared out in anger.

The growing threat coming from Mirai, that was inches close to rivaling an Archdemon such as Riley, having no effect on him whatsoever. His chaotic emotional state offset the threat and let him push through.

And the fact that such presence was being released from the body of Mirai, convinced him that a powerful existence at the level of Riley, had killed and taken over her corpse when he was not watching her.

Especially so, as her talent and potential were far above the norm. She was text book definition of a monster genius, who could do things that even the prevuously heavenly genius talent like himself could not do.

"Mirai... That coddled and consented brat of the space dragons... What did you bastards do to her?!" He roared out once more, and rushed over towards her position.

Yet within his anger, was boundless regret as well. He was now sure that Archdemon Riley, had ulterior motives when nurturing his talent and potential.

'Why are you showing anger right now..? I don't understand. Are you still going to pretend that you care after using and throwing me away just like that..?' Mirai thought as she saw him charging towards her.

Her emotions were many, and they collided together, thus weighing heavier and heavier over her heart. Because of that, she failed to properly respond to his attack, and could only dodge as he got closer to her.
