Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

The Demon Lord, which previously had Su Han as the focus, felt a threat heading towards it at fast speed. It hurriedly turned around to respond to the threat.

"Ez Alb Ez Iro Pav." The Demon Lord did not wait to see who it was that dared to attack so brazenly, and just kicked up a unique spell it knew from the yet go.

Along with those words, a unique chant, laced with the demonic tongue, the Demon Lord stretched out its finger upwards, and from its finger tip, a small sun appeared.

...!!!

The small sun did not even take an instant before releasing powerful solar waves that evaporated everything sorounding the Demon Lord to cinders.

"Ah..." Su Xue, who was rushing over at full speed could only let out a stupid cry of disbelief, as the heat wave, comparable to the temperature around the surface of the sun, swept towards her.

But being the daredevil she was, she folded her little hand into a fist, snd met the incoming solar wave with nothing but pure physical force.

Bang~ Boom!!

The collision of her small, fair hand, against the solar wave of over 5 000°C resulted into an explosion of nothing but hot wind that spread out to melt anything within a thousand miles radius.

"....."

Su Han and the other Demons that attacked him paused and stopped to watch the ruckus. Especially so for Su Han, as he was worried about Su Xue hurting herself.

"Hahaha!! Hahahaha!!" But instead of pain, or even regret, the dainty little Su Xue, who was blown tens of miles away due to the force of the explosion, stood up and only laughed in response.

She was bleeding from her forehead, the blood trekking down to her left cheek, then to her chin. But her eyes still stared at the Demon Lord with boundless Battle intent.

And the more she tasted the feeling of pain, and reminisced on it, the more her battle intent rose. She subconsciously smiled, a smile that a certain dead demon would tremble upon seeing appeared on her face.

"HahahaHAHAHAHA, A–—" She kicked off the ground, as a unique skill of her own, one that if a person of her level used, would be depleted of mana was cast.

She did not care about expenditure at all. She just used the unique skill that her God father bestowed upon her, [Battle Will].

Booom!!

With insane speed, ones that even a Demon Lord could not read, she flashed and appeared right before it's face. And the only thing that is could see, was a smile so wide, it literally resembled that of the devil's.

...!!!

Not only the Demon Lord, even the other Demon Lord, the nine Demon Chiefs and the Demon King were caught off guard by the newfound speed of the Saint Su Xue.

As for Su Han, he could only subconsciously smile, ad he clearly saw Su Xue stretch out her hand to grab the face of the Demon Lord, and intended to smash its head onto the ground.

But the Demon was still a Demon Lord, a Deity equivalent being who, if need be, could affect the entire region with their complete might.

By burning more of its demonic power, the was already close to being depleted, it used its unique skill once again and boosted yet another spell to devastating heights.

"Dun o ber tan sitn." The moment it finished its chant, it's head was almost about to be smashed onto the ground, and mixed in like fertilizer by the battle hungry Su Xue.

But at that moment, time froze for an instant, and the moment it flowed back, the one smashing the other onto the ground was the Demon Lord.

And the one being smashed onto the ground was the young lady, Su Xue. The tables had turned so quickly, even she failed to comprehend how everything occurred.

"Huh..?"

Bang!!

That was the only words she could let out, before her beautiful face was smashed onto the ground, making the hard soil and rocks, seem as soft as cake as her head sunk in.

...!!!

Everyone was once again caught off guard, especially Su Han as he stared at everything in stupor and amazement. Of course, he was not going to involve himself.

This was Su Xue's battle, and it was a form of maturity for her. He could not protect her always, for that was not what a good God father would do.

Thus... he moved back to his business. As for Su Xue, this battle, might be her chance to finally become a Deity. Who knows, with her talent, she might just breakthrough!!

Middle Realm, Central Cardinal

Void Island, Central Magoi

Athena sat upon the tallest throne of the Central Magoi, a city of Spell casters. Be it wizard, mage, elementalist, sorcerers, arcanists, magus or the likes, they could all be found here.

The floating island had a population of four billion, which was spread throughout the seven towers. Each tower being ruled by a god who ascended from being a spell caster to a magic-oriented god.

In order, from the most popular, to the least popular were;

The Wizard tower of the old man, Sage Liu Mao. A wizard god that has written down hundreds of spells, and was renowned for single handedly killing a god with magic alone, when he was but a mortal.

The Witch tower of the old woman, Sage Liu Almei. A terrifying witch goddess who formed a contract with a powerful demonic entity, and could use devastating dark arts.

The Sorcerer tower of the power hungry beauty, Mia Blueberry. Not only was she power hungry, she was a powerful woman who had a high influence with the Astral Road.

The Mage tower of the young man, Sylvester McCain. A natural born magician, who had Affinity with all 108 magic categories. Unfortunately, his potential was only enough for him to use only twelve spells at maximum.

The amount of Skills and Spells a person could carry, correlated to the potential rating the person has. And for unique skills or spell, the potential rating was divided by five.

Thus a person of [12] rating, could have 12 ordinary Skills or Spells, and 2 Unique Skills or Spells. And for a person of [6] rating, they could have 6 and 1 for both ordinary and Unique Dkills or Spells.

There were other factors to increasing thus though, such as Physiques, Soul Strength and one's Consciousness.

For Deities, they had a natural Deific Physique, a Unique Soul and Greater Consciousness. Their Skill or Spell limit, increases by 90%, 30% for each category.

Thus why Sylvester had a quotation of 23 ordinary Spells and 5 unique spells to him. And yes, the numbers were rounded up to the nearest possible ratio.

The Elemental tower of the young Spirit, Elmera. A being that was not mortal, and was instead born as a pseudo-immortal. She was quite good with Elemental spells, and commanding Elementals.

The Occult tower of the mysterious and isolated Helen Enfield. A woman even the current Athena could not completely see through. In fact, tbe only person that she was cautious of within this whole plane.

The Phenomenal Tower of the Great Sage who welcomed her here, when she descended, and his beloved wife, Sophia. They were ordinary scholars who ascended through knowledge.

The information they knew was far more profound and forbidden than anything the god's could fathom. It explained how he knew about Athena's descent.

Each tower had its own structure, each one different from the other.

And if one was wondering why she was sitting at the highest throne of Central Magoi, a place comparable to a small world when there are seven other competitors fighting for it.

It wasn't an easy job to be honest. Unlike her peers, Athena was ambitious. She wanted to get as many followers as possible before she can start on the path of increasing her strength.

Because for true gods, to increase strength, they needed to refine true divine power. Where by even one unit cost 100 000 faith points. And one needed five units to promote from rank 1 true god to rank 2 true god.

One can imagine the cost. Though they could ascend even by doing nothing, they could reach the next rank in five years, the one after in another ten, so on and so forth. But she didn't want to spend a hundred years waiting to reach the peak of the true god realm.

That was why she wanted this entire island for herself within the next thirty years (3 yirs). And she was succeeding. Not through battle might, but through wits only.

She was bold enough to go fight spellcasters in their own specialty, brains. That's right, within the past year, she's played these six deities like nobody's f*cking business.

Even now, the reason no one came to stop her from sitting here so far was because they were busy with more important things. To go into details, they were trying so hard to calm down their followers.
