Chapter 231 Disappearance Of Gloom, Civil War Of The Gods I
But suddenly, the world turned gray, forcefully stopping everything. Everything was frozen in time, resulting in a surreal atmosphere around him.
Shocked, Enigma looked around and wondered what was going on. Only to realize that only he and little Jue still had color in this world of Infinite grayness.
But the effects didn\'t last long as everything returned to normal. And Bella did not suspect anything at all. As if time was not stopped for just an instant.
\'Someone comprehended the Law of Time\' Abby, the new nickname of the Ancient Goddess of Abomination sternly commented after everything returned to normal.
As if she remembered something, she also added, \'Perhaps only Gods, or anyone with a True Law were left unaffected, which is why you two were fine.\'
"I think so too... and I can guess whose Law this was." He sighed and continued on his way towards his room.
But before he could walk a few more steps forward, something else occurred that defied common sense once again.
Roars of wind rose from the sky, catching the attention of the whole God Realm as a whole, and when they looked up...
They were surprised to see a sky full of corporeal divine beasts made out of golden-green winds, bringing down a gentle breeze of golden sparkles.
This scene also lasted for a few seconds more before suddenly vanishing out of existence. And this time around, everyone saw it, unlike the first time.
\'...Another Law.\' Abby commented in disbelief, only to realize that Enigma was bitterly looking up with a blank gaze. \'Are you okay?\' She asked in perplexion.
"...According to normal standards, I should be able to follow after, right?" He looked down and checked his Template, only to see a [30.4/28.5] tab, he then nodded to himself, "Hm, I\'m going to regret this."
\'....\'
Abby didn\'t argue with him. Being with him, being part of him, being one with him, she could feel and see what he felt and saw.
Thus, she saw him gain Divine Skill after Divine Skill without even trying. Even for her, the excitement of growing stronger would die down at one point in life.
Slowly being replaced by caution, then regret and finally negligence. And by the point he starts neglecting how many Skills he recieved, he might have a thousands of them.
"Regret aside, I\'m curious, is it okay for a person to have so many Laws?" He asked her out of the blue, and Abby responded with a bit of hesitation. \'Rumor has it that the Four Extreme Emperors each ruled over multiple domains, together, they ruled sixteen Laws.\'
"...Let\'s hope that is true, and also that I am one of their Reincarnations. Then this Law will definitely be my last one, right?" He thought as his gaze moved lower, to the notifications sent by True Will.
"But you have 12 Laws already"
The system retorted before he could even view the notifications from True Will. Enigma ignored it and just focused on what was right before him.

Enigma couldn\'t keep quiet anymore, he now knew that someone was definitely playing games with his life. Either his mother, father or grandfather.
But regardless of which, he only had one sentence for all of them, \'...I hope you enjoy my misery you old psychopaths.\' A sentence full of his bitter tears of helplessness.
"...Hehe!"
"...."

God Realm, Above The Clouds
Cloud Palace, Conference Hall
Within the Cloud Palace, Six Gods sat around a hexagonal table, each being seated at a corner of their own, with two other beings behind them, each with an Aura no different than that of the young swordsman Enigma fought.
Cosmological Gods... Twelve of them were standing behind the six beings respectfully. Beings at the same level of power, but different than the Cosmological Gods.
One of the Six beings, a mature lady according to her tone, was the first to speak, initializing the beginning of a grand meeting, "You may now begin the God Conference."
Her voice was null of emotions and she had a powerful golden Halo above her head, bright enough to cloak her facial features from being seen by the others. Including her fellow peers.
Not only that, there were rings around her hands, legs, waist and neck, making her look like a mini sun. Even the strongest here couldn\'t see through her.
Hearing her words the others immediately jumped into a conversation of their own, causing chaos to occur within the table.
The Chaos ensured until someone spoke up. "Silence, one at a time!!!" A young man\'s voice rang out powerfully, shutting everyone up instantly.
Unlike the mature beauty, his body was literally made out of pure light, so blinding that, it lit up the whole room, creating the impressoon that he was Divine light itself.
Everyone kept their mouths shut and \'respectfully\' looked at the two beings who sat side to side. Between and slightly behind them, was a gloomy throne, still carrying hints of gloom, but with no one sitting there.
The King of Gloom was missing. It was the very reason that this meeting was being held. As for why now, and not long when they realized he was missing....
Nobody knew. Nobody except themselves.
"Ahem, the young prince is right, we must not be so unsightly before the Grand Queen herself." A man in his late twenties said after clearing his throat.
He wore a plain dress with nothing worthy glancing at on his body. But his face alone was ethereal, making him look like a female, in terms of Charm and Beauty.
"Now let\'s officially begin. Raven, the Lord God of Beauty, third Rokushiki." He stood up and sternly introduced himself along with his title, then bowed slightly.
"Veritas, Goddess of Hope and Truth, second Rokushiki." A beautiful and ethereal young lady also stood up and expressionlessly introduced herself, not including her Rank of power.
She was petite and pale. Her skin so white it looked like snow, and her golden pupils shone with brilliance and intense luster, as if they were made out of hope itself.
"Scien, Lord Goddess of Wisdom and Knowledge, fifth Rokushiki." A young girl, who seemed to be nine to twelve years old hurriedly stood up and introduced herself.
She was short and petite as well, either than having a large chest for her age, she looked no different than any other ordinary young girl in her pre-teen-hood.
With a pair of big eyes, and large round glasses. She also had a lot of acne on her face, making her look like mortal as well, which was contradictory with the sorounding atmosphere.
"Bellum, God of War, Battle and Doom, fourth Rokushiki." A Stern looking middle aged man introduced himself whilst still sitting down and not minding any of the other\'s reactions.
He likewise ignored the glare from a certain Goddess with large round glasses on her face. As for the expressionless lady of Hope, she did not seem to mind him either.
He was covered in bloody armor from neck to toe, his face looked terrifying and menacing, as if he directly came from a battlefield... No, as if he was born there, and raised there as well.
Especially with the big scar on his face, that made him look slightly menacing for a God, resembling an Ancient Demon instead.
The first two beings with powerful auras far beyond theirs didn\'t introduce themselves and just silently watched.
Bellum was the first to speak, "Your King of Gloom has gone missing, and its been quite a long time now. So, without a King, who will lead this place?"
"What are you trying to imply? That we can\'t even survive without a King?" Scien scoffed at him and immediately argued back, as if waiting for this very opportunity to arise.
Everyone knew that Bellum and Scien didn\'t get along, but it wasnt to the level where they hated each other. It was more like a lover\'s qaurell than anything else, to them. Hence why they mostly never intervened.
"Kid, go to sleep, this is adult business." Bellum, a rageful person didn\'t even flare up and instead waved her off with his hand. Then he added, "Of course, a flock of pitiful sheep needs a Sheppard to herd them."
The fact that he didn\'t look at her pissed her off even more, causing her to burn up like a small tomato, as she retorted fiercely "I\'m not a kid!!! Nor a sheep."
Him calling her, and the others here flocks of sheep did not trigger her much. But being called a kid seemed to be her bottom line.
Veritas finally couldn\'t hold it in and stood up, subconsciously pushing back the chair that she previously sat on and catching everyone\'s attention. She then expressionlessly said,
"Calm down, Scien, not today. Bellum, let\'s say you\'re right, for now, so, what must we do? Go around and search the world for his so-called highness?
"Are you implying that he cannot take care of himself? He is a grown up man and we are all adults here, we can manage this place even without him.
"Or what? What are the Rokushiki for then? Decorations for the Cloud Palace? Or were we chosen to become representative Lords when the King is not here?" She sternly questioned.
