Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

While if Athena had the same starting point but different population and number of Mythical would be like, 24 + 500% × 17 (more than a million Deities) × 10 (world population/ten billion+) = 24,5 units of faith power per month.

The difference is more than three times. This was what Athena and Louise were aiming for. Plus the bonus of adding more members, they might recieve at least 30 units per month.

Then the ×7 to faith recieved monthly from the twin sisters, it being ×14 for both sister. That was almost 500 faith units per month for all fove, or 100 individually. Their ambition was apparent.

While Mimi wasn't as ambitious. She would be fine as long as she got over a million believers. "Well, you wanted to go home right? I bet it's to meet that god of yours, isn't it? Is he really that charming?"

In the end, she deemed Noelle's worries mortal feelings and forgot about them. Instead, she couldn't help but tease the young elf just to relieve her boredom.

"Sh-Shut up!!! The lord is unquestionably handsome, but he's more like the neighborhood big brother than a crush of sorts!!" Noelle set up right with a blush on her face as she quickly retorted Mimi's words.

"Neighborhood big brother? I've heard big sister next door, but not neighborhood big brother. Is he really that repulsive?" Mimi continued to tease in a slightly playful and interested tone.

It was rare to see Noelle like this, so why not take the opportunity to mess with her? And Noelle's response did not disappoint her at all.

"Th-Th-Th-That't not WHAT I MEANT!!! I-It'sjust that... I feel closer to him that way, than as a love candidate or sorts." Flustered, Noelle immediately stood up like a kitten that got its tail stepped on.

Her face, all the way to her ears were red with embarrassment and anger. She had never felt this disrespected in her entire life. Yet at the same time, Mimi's words had a point.

"So you have an inferiority complex?" Mimi didn't let things be as she continued to poke at Noelle's soft spots. And it was all fun and games, until Noelle took out Acnologia out of its sheath.

Infusing vast amounts of Mana into the blade, which was laced with Anti-God properties, and Dragon Slaying effects. Even if she was weak, she was still dangerous with thus blade.

"...You bastard of a DAMNED DRAGON!!!" Without hesitation, she drove all her mana, to every last drop into the blade, almost 500 000 units. Making the blade release black flame-like aura around it.

Her mana, that could surpass even some veteran Grand masters, was drained dry by Acnologia, as the blade resonated with its master, and unleashed all the potential it could unleash at the moment.

The Divine spark that was added within its process of creation, that came from Enigma, also pulled at the sorounding mana, almost reaching a million reserves.

"Hehehe Ahahaha." Mimi couldn't believe that Noelle would stab her. At most, she would slash at the air or at the ground in iritation then stop. Unfortunately, she seemed to have gone too far this time around.

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU TODAY!!!" Noelle raised the sword above her head, ready to smash it down onto the head of the giant dragoness. Her will and intent pretty clear and solid alright.

"O-OI!!! THAT SWORD CAN ACTUALLY HURT DRAGONS AND GODS YOU KNOW?! IT'S DOUBLE EFFECTIVE— STOP, ST-STOP!!! AAAHHHH!!" Getting slightly frightened, Mimi tried to stop her, but it got through one ear to another.

And from then on, tens of minutes of torture were to come for Mimi. Acnologia was a sword she made to kill the wyvern deity, as long as one has enough mana, any deity or dragon would be injured by this sword.

Let alone when you're both a dragon and a deity at the sane time. Though she was tough and wouldn't die because Noelle was too weak, the pain was still there.

And it was absolutely discomforting.

The remaining workers ignored them and continued with their work. To them, they were only mortals, they had no right to delve in the matters of gods. Yes, indeed, they had none.

"...mother and aunt are still as close as ever. Wish I could play with mother like that." Jill couldn't help but murmur looking at Noelle and Mimi 'play' together.

But that only led to most, if not all of them looking at him speechless. 'As expected of the son of our goddess, like mother, like son. Both are batshit crazy.'

" " " .... " " "

Some red-skinned demons couldn't help but look at Jill strangely, immediately labeling him an "M" and keeping their distance away. The further away they are, the safer.

Within the same Region of Hell

Millions of miles away from Mimi

Within the skies, a humanoid demon lord, that resembled a lizardmen flew at vast speed towards a certain direction.

His speed was quite fast, traveling at the speed of 360 miles per second. Something leagues above the speed of sound, yet also leagues below light speed.

He was headed towards one of the directions that housed one of the overlords of this region. The region of the Serpentines, a race of snake-like beings, lamias if you like.

They, alongside with themselves, as the red-scaled lizardmen, ruled over the region, from different hemispheres. They never went into much conflict as the distance between them was vast.

And the region was large enough for them to share it without much problem. To add on, their strongest were both demon lords, though he was alone, he was not afraid of both of their demon lords.

So there had always been a form of peace between them, and their only aim was to hunt out towards the other regions, since there were chances they might stand a chance at winning.

He was also headed towards the next region to try and conquer one of their weaker races, when instead, he met a demon goddess, who was way unreasonable and fiesty.

Most demons were like that, and he as well. Thus he had no right to complain, but he still did. The regret he always had, haunted him each and every day.

"...."

Regret such as, what would have happened if he just stayed back home for that day, and move out the next day? Or what if he moved out a day earlier?

Unfortunately for him, those thoughts were useless, as if he went out the day earlier, she would still take over his territory. And once he returns with his spoils, she would take them away from him.

That was obvious.

And if he moved out the day next, the same would have happened. In fact, if she defeated him within his own territory, he would feel even more disrespected than he already felt.

Thus, everything was fine. He also recieved a blessing to add on, which made the frustration he felt to decrease. She was also a demon goddess, a variant stronger than him.

There might be demon kings and demon lords, but demon gods were still stronger, even when they were at the same level of power. After all, divine beings had more unique skills and more authority.

Take it this way, a demon king could only have two lower ranked beings under their command. But a demon god, could rule over as many demon kings and lower ranked demon gods below them.

See how oblivious it is? The demon gods could also rule over the demon kings, but the demon kings could never see themselves standing above and commanding a demon god.

Those were the rules. So, to summarize, he was done grieving and beating himself down. He was way stronger than he used to be anyway, and was even confident of fighting demon demigods.

His strength, his speed, his demonic power, they were all increased to be above the norm. Which was also why he did not fight or argue with his new superior when she unreasonably sent him out here.

Hell she probably sent him out because she does not like him. And he definitely agreed because he did not like her either. The status was mutual on both sides.

"...."

Demon Lord Xian finally arrived at the at the area of the Serpentine settlement, and stared down on them. His presence was felt throughout, as he did not try to even reign it back.

It was let out recklessly, on all sides, as if to announce his arrival as a king, as a ruler, and as a conquerer. This was simply a declaration of war against them.

"XIAN, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?! YOU ARE GOING TO KILL MY PEOPLE!!" An angry roar escaped out of the central building of the settlement, as a powerful aura moved to clash with his own.

"Hmph, come out and lets talk, you leg-less bastards." Demon Lord Xian, apparently still affected by the biased treatment of his superior, flared up at the Serpentines.

"Wha... What the hell?!" The Serpentine that roared at him in anger was surprised as Demon Lord Xian's aura pressed down on its own, and still threatened to suffocate every one below their rank.

"I'll help you, eldest brother." Another voice spoke up, sounding soft and feminine, as another aura rose up to clash with Demon Lord Xian's aura, yet they were still pushed back.

"HMPH!!" Demon Lord Xian snorted at them even stronger than before, thus releasing all of his might and power onto them.

"The hell?!"

"Ah...!!"

Both Serpentine Demon Lords were surprised st the power that Demon Lord Xavier released, as they both hurriedly flew out to stand before him and stop struggling.

Demon Lord Xian also stopped releasing all of his aura onto them, and instead just stared them up and down, "You two should just surrender. Any other word from you that isn't agreeing to that, I'll kill you all."

He warned sternly, as he watched the beautiful and exotic lamias that floated before him. One male, with a powerful upper body that could rival even men that worked their entire lives at gyms.

While the other was a woman who could rival even the most flawless, and most pristine looking female you could find in the morden day. Both had similar eye and hair colors, being both black.

They also seemed similar, as if they were related by blood as well. The male had a long spear, and the female lamia had nothing on her hands. Both did not seem ready for a fight.

"Don't bullshit me. So, out with it, how did you get this strong overnight?" The male Lamia, Demon Lord Dion, inquired without putting much focus on Demon Lord Xian's threat.

"...It's a long story. But first, you should all just prepare yourselves." Demon Lord Xian responded as such, and the two exchanged glances before understanding what was happening.

"...."

"...."

They were conquerers, they live in hell, where defeating and absorbing the soul of other demons your rank or stronger could make you stronger as well.

And they were not the only conquerers out there. They had conquered, now it was their turn to also be conquered. Everything followed a certain cycle here.
