"It's useless." Enigma did not hesitate to say what the system said. 'At least you're still here. That's a blessing and a curse at the sa ti, I guess.' He also thought to himself, glad that the system was still here.
"...."
"I guess it's just Fate. Anyway can we heal ya? I an is there anyway we can alleviate your condition?" Allen did not want to stop there and tried asking again. His concern for Enigma's wellbeing was genuine.
Since Enigma knew it was useless to solve this through killing him, then he might know how to do it properly. Unless why would he say killing was useless if he had yet to try it out? This was Allen's thought process as he inquired.
"Generating a mission"
"...I think there is." Enigma, after seeing the instant notification from the system, ambiguously responded as he was not sure whether the mission from the system was safe or not, or even doable.
"At least there is a chance." Allen sighed in relief, as he waited for Enigma to explain the course of how they could get him healed up and back to top condition in no ti at all.
"Origin Divine Crystal: You have overused your abilities while under limitations and have strained your body and spirit, two Aspects of your Existence. The only way to cure your current ailnts is by devouring an Origin Divine Crystal that cos only once per millania or getting healed by ****** Beings"
"Mission: Invade the God Realm's Divine Empire and look for the Third Divine Princess. The Origin Divine Crystal can be found on her favorite hair pin. Be warned, using Force is not a safe option. The Divine Empire is an SSS-rank Empire, and the overlord of an entire Higher Realm"
"Difficulty: S-Class"
"Reward: Your eyesight, Your Physique, Constitution×1"
"Remark: Chances of failing are 90%, even with Allen included. Ti limit: 364 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, 58 seconds. Ti is ticking soldier"
'....'
Enigma had a lot to say to this, but he made sure to keep quiet. He was 'sick' right now, going into an argunt with the system will only fail him instead, so it was better to keep quiet. Yes, it was safer to just keep quiet.
'It had to be a princess huh?' Or not. He couldn't help it, he could predict what the outco would be if he went there. 'And the reward, only the Constitution is useful for , what's the use of the first two If the crystal will cure ?'
"...."
'And isn't S-Class difficulty for Ascension True Gods? What off an SSS-ranked organization, where even Main Gods would tread carefully. You trying to kill , or sothing bud?' He bitterly laughed to himself, as he asked such a question to the system.
"Deal with it"
"Is everything fine dude?" Allen crossed his arms and looked at Enigma strangely. Enigma looked back and his smile got stiff, "Yeah, I know a way, but I'll do it myself. There is no need for you to even bother coming along."
"Co on, just tell ." Allen ignored Enigma's tone and just pushed on the matter, not only interested on knowing the thod, but seemingly interested in participating through the process itself.
"It's dangerous." Enigma bitterly smiled as he still refused. He did not know why Allen was interested in coming along, if this was his problem only. But Allen also did not seem like backing off either.
"I've been through worse."
"Really? I an it."
"...Far worse than fighting an ancient beast?" This ti around, Allen didn't sound so confident. He was not about to go and experience sothing so terrifying while being as weak as he was.
"Yeah, a trillion tis worse at bare minimum." Enigma responded with a smile. As if happy that he won an 'argunt' for once. Usually, he would just agree to avoid even arguing at all, but this situation was too dangerous.
"...Fine then, out with it, I'm still curious." Despite his sigh and weary expression, he was willing to know, and also willing to go with him. Like Athena, he knew more than other True Gods knew about this trial, and about these worlds.
He knew that a Mystique was the best friend or worst enemy a person can possibly have. And from the First generation, every Mystique breached the Creator Realm and beca sothing even more frightening.
He was betting on Enigma. Enigma also knew sothing like this would happen, but he was fine with it. Being used and using people were part of life after all. It would be unfair if he did not want to be used, if he were to use others along the way... that was a childish ntality.
He relented and explained everything to Allen, who listened attentively with a blank expression. 'My brother, you sure got a tough life ahead of you. A princess of a Divine Empire. How powerful must the Emperor be for an Empire to be rated Divine.' Allen thought to himself.
"I'm thinking of going right now." Enigma said after he finished explaining. Allen thought on it for a bit and decided to ask since he could not understand why Enigma was so much in such a rush, "Why?"
"Instinct." He responded. After a while he elaborated, "I feel like everything will change soon, so I just want to be at top condition before it does. At most, in a hundreds of years or so, everything will be different."
"Fine then, I'll co with." Allen sighed and helplessly scratched his head. He saw that Enigma was about to say sothing and he raised his hand, "You're weak now, you need , don't deny that."
"...Suit yourself." Enigma sighed then rembered sothing, sothing they previously ntioned when they were catching up a mont ago, thus he asked, "You said we are at the World Forest Region right?"
"Yeah?"
"Fate, hehehe... Nothing much, just tell your people to head West and they will find a place called Green River, my people are there, they can mix up and help each other... if you're alright with it." He proposed.
"Fine with . But... don't you want to et them first? It's been years since you last saw them isn't?" Allen asked with a confused expression on his face.
"No. If I do, I feel like I'll stay there for a long ti. And ti... is not on my side right now." He responded as such, thinking of Nia, who was quite forceful with her approaches, and the sisters that he first t.
"Sure thing, I'll let them know." Allen stood up and dusted his pants since he was sitting down on the dirt, and not on a mat like Enigma. He was already used to it as the God of the Wild, nature was like his ho.
"Co back prepared, I'll be ready to leave by then." Enigma said before closing his eyes with a sigh. ditating on his condition and trying to learn what was actually wrong with his Body and Spirit, and not his Soul.
"...Sure, take care until then." Allen left, leaving behind such words. Enigma nodded still with his eyes closed, and then responded lightly to the short farewell, "Will do."
