"...It's amazing how my daughter feels stronger than I am. Her Template even looks beautiful without being over-cramped." Enigma sighed as he admired.
"She's three yirs old. Show that to a common true god, and they'd die of a heart attack"
Enigma ignored those words. Since she was his daughter, why frown on such small topics as age? He was 18 yirs old, and probably had more skills than Cosmic gods.
"By the way, everything looks different compared to us. Why?" Weren't godlins supposed to be blank states for 150 years? He asked this of the system, Jade was playing with the teddy bear.
"That would cost you a lot, more than you can imagine. But since it's you, I'll all just say you owe me a 100 Faith Essence... Don't complain, this is knowledge that will appear after the first second generational true god is born"
"Second? Are we considered first?" Enigma thought out loud. The system affirmed with its silence. "Fine with me, I owe you that much then, now tell me."
""The first second generational true god has been born. All of the 144 highly talented true gods will be considered first generational gods within this vast CHAOS""
""Rules are to be altered for the second generational true gods. When they are born, they will gain Providence from their reincarnates and one from their parents. Some will be lucky to inherit Skills from their parents as well""
""Their progression will also be different. There will be five ranks for godlin realm and three for true god realm. From main god to above, things will stay the same""
""Second generational true gods/outer beings will be able to gain special effects first generational outer beings had after every promotion. But parents are instructed to manually teach their children the arts they know""
""Second generational gods can also collect "Prayers" even after birth. The concept of prayers will also be introduced to all first generational gods""
""Prayers can be used to promote true law progression, and many other concepts, the cost depending on talents. They can also be converted to faith points and conjur miracles to mortals such as increasing their strength, bring rain, create gold etc.""
""Some Divine Arts could do that easily without wasting prayers, but not everyone has Affinity for all Divine Arts, unlike a certain someone and his children""
""Prayers can easily be calculated through "(population quotation) × (most belief÷10) ÷ by a factor of 1 000 000" per year. For example: (1 million) × (24(Worship)÷10) ÷ 1 000 000 will give a god 2,4 prayers per year.""
""Continue to enjoy yourself, and do not worry about your families. Your lives are more important, focus on staying alive first.""
"...I'm impressed how True Will insulted me so naturally. Or did you purposely add that?" Enigma bitterly smiled about what was to come in the future.
"Nope. I just replicated the message that it said in the 'near' future"
The system said. Enigma sighed, he caught onto the message at the end. It seemed like tough times will come, but the problem is, when will the first second generational true god, or outer being be born?
"Well, that's a topic for later. For now, Jade—" He was interrupted by a mass of light that brightened the whole room. Enigma sensing a familiar presence from Jade. One he would never forget anytime soon.
The scent of Fragments. The same thing that he manually formed due to his bloodline, and his children had the exact same Bloodline as his, Jade's effect were even enhanced.
"Papa... Jade... Jade..." The teary little girl looked at him feeling wronged. A lot of Fragments, those that looked exactly like his, floated above her. Her small finger pointing at the teddy bear surrounded by said Fragments.
"....."
There were ten thousands of such Fragments circling around the teddy bear, slowly getting absorbed inside. Enigma didn't stop it, he was curious what ten thousand Fragments could do, but at the same time, he was not.
Jade saw that her father did not do anything and could only wait and see. This happened quite a lot, first was when she released a lot of these to the other 'Jades', transforming them to humanoid beings.
She said that she had used quite a lot on them, and now she used another 10 000. He wondered how much she received, he got 240 per month. She also claimed not to know.
Not long after, the teddy bear was done absorbing the Fragments, and slowly descended. After checking with the system, he knew what was missing.
But he had another experiment. He immediately asked internally, 'Kaguya, do you remember anything about your past? Like, the strongest being there or your children's names?'
""Yes, I do have co-workers, but I forgot most of them. I remember one who was my partner, but forgot his name... Oh!! I also had a husband and two sons.""
Kaguya did not waste time to respond. The people inside him seemed quiet lately. He was told by Abby that they were exploring his inner palace, or something he dubbed the E-Verse, with only a single Origin Universe, in his consciousness.
Even after so long, they haven't even explored 1% of it. According to her, Kaguya said that after exploring a bit of it, it doubled in size. Then again, and again, this time around she was there as well. Soon... I might expand and underginsomething similar to mitosis.
The vast endless place, seemed like it would continue expanding every time he promoted, doubling in size, always reducing their progress every time.
That was why their time always seemed consumed. He immediately disregarded his thoughts and asked, "What were their names? Do you remember them?"
""Hamura and Hogoromo.""
She responded. Enigma nodded and let her go. He then turned to Jade, who also turned to him with a clueless expression, "Papa... Name it!!! Please Name it."
She was no more sad about the Fragments being lost, as they seemed to clean the dirty and raggered teddy bear into a brand new form.
"Why should I? Isn't it your toy?" Enigma was wondering why she was acting so spoiled. Wasn't she independent all these thirty years ago without him?
"But Papa is amazing. So he can come up with an amazing name!!!" Jade casually said that as if it was a fact, despite not even knowing his feats, but Enigma was still speechless by such an Instant reply.
"....."
"Dont be shy to blush"
The system teased him. Such opportunities came in rare, as not a lot of things could actually fluster him. Not even beautiful women could do such a thing.
"...how about Hogoromo?" Enigma ignored the system and succumbed to his daughter's puppy eyes. She seemed to like him too much, so much that she seemed to rely on him too much as well... which was strange.
"Bleh!! It's too plain, papa, try again." Jade immediately disregarded the name, not knowing that it was 'her' son's name in her previous life.
'...My ego is hurt, but most importantly, I feel sorry for you Kaguya.' He thought. He also wondered how she could reincarnate while her soul was inside him. "Hamura then?"
"Hmm~... Hamura is fine, I'll call you Hamura from now on!!!" Jade seemed to like this name better, and happily looked at the teddy bear, which glowed in particular gray light.
Ignore the contradiction. Yes, a gloomy color like gray glowed brightly, as if it was the sun itself. Even black can glow bright... ahem, ignore that stupid statement.
The light continued to glow for a while longer. Enigma felt bored and started a conversation with Jade. It was quite rare for him to get bored, perhaps he missed Bella and Jue's commotion when taking care of each other.
"Jade, what do you usually do here?" He asked.
"Hmm~ I usually do nothing but sleep. The big sisters outside told me about a dun... a dungeon? Yes, a dungeon!! They said that they are natural creations of the world that have great, great rewards!!" She seemed excited about this dungeon thing.
Enigma was excited as well. For no apparent reason either than the fact that he found something new to mess... no, play around with. Maybe he could, for once, get to learn more about himself, rather, his body and abilities.
He neglected them quite a lot. So much that, he barely knew what the effects were like. He also wanted to know what was the extent of his created weapons as well.
"How about we go together tomorrow and bond?" He proposed. Jade looked back at him in surprise, then immediately agreed with an excited leap of joy, "Yay!!!"
"Calm down now, your toy is done shining. Check it out." He smiled looking at her joy, while also appraising the teddy bear using the system's 'omnipotent'-like functions.

[Celestial Sage Doll of Jade Purity, Hamura]
[Grade: Ruin Divine]
[Description: The teddy bear created by the eldest daughter of an Abnormality and the little Divine Progenitor during her childhood. It carries her will and that of "The Lord" himself, making it a terrifying weapon of ruination]
[Special Effects: +250% to overall battle prowess]
[Divine++ Ability 1: Tensei God - Allows the doll to enter a spiritual state by transforming its whole body into pure Reiki state, gaining special effects of a god such as manifesting Reiki and True Laws]
[Divine++ Ability 2: Divine Progenitor's Guardian - With the blessing of the Divine Progenitor, Hamura's body can contain a thousand times the Reiki his rank should possess(Currently Transcendental), which can be increased by being with its master or grandmaster]
[???? Ability 1: Gudodama - Orbs of malleable black Reiki, enhanced slightly with the Aura of Deicide, which can alter their form and characteristics in various ways. Though only the size of a fist, each hides within it power to turn things to dust, negate regeneration and cancel out lower class Abilities such as Divine Skills and those below with an absolute degree of surety, that even affects Supreme Divinities with 100% efficiency]
[???? Ability 2: Greater Nigh-Omniscience(Elements) - Hamura has almost all knowledge about Elemental abilities within the scope of Hyperveses, thus instantly knowing their effects and weaknesses with a single glance. But this ability can be denied by the Divine Progenitor, it's creator, and the The Lord, it's creator's creator. All knowledge about Elemental abilities can be derived Absolutely, as nothing can get in between Hamura and Elemental Knowledge]
"Kyaa~ papa, Hamura looks so cute!!!" Jade affectionately hugged the small rabbit doll in her hands. It was completely white, with black buttons stitched as eyes and long rabbit ears.
Enigma, thought otherwise though. This was the first time he saw an unranked ???? skill. He was tempted, he was so tempted to reduce his large number of Skills with such Skills by combining them!!!
Such Skills had terms of "Absolute", even when including Supreme Divinities. They were like some sort of Absolute Authority that can only be contended by another Absolute Authority...
Disregarding the realms of power.
"...What a two faced bastard"
The system thought, and Enigma ignored it. According to his guess, as long as he becomes a main god and has enough Reiki, such Skills can be cast, along with his perverted Divine Skills and the Divine Skill Trees.
So, it was like he was increasing his strength... without suffering from the effects of overusing the Skills like now. He was about to become a rank 5, he could probably freely use Divine skills then as well, albeit with limitations.
But having a lot of them didn't mean that he was stronger. In fact, it might just confuse and weaken him even more... Yup, he was just complaining once again.
But such Skills, he truly wished to have one.
