The likes of touching it, was no different than a human dipping their hand in lava. Yet Athena did so, without any fear nor hesitation. She stretched out her hand, and let it sink within the presence of Terra.

And to her expectations, her hand was completely fine whatsoever. And this brightened the smile above her lips to shine even brighter than the sun, as she knew, she knew that she had broken through the barrier of Terra, and touched upon its soft spot.

"That's it. It might not be much, but I'll give you all care and attention you deserve Terra. I'll give you the freedom you deserve, the freedom to experience love and affection." She added, sinking her body completely within the presence of Terra, and bathing within the power of creation.

It was a never before seen scenery, nor experience. She felt her Laws bubble up in excitement, as they felt a Mystery that was far above anything Supremes could achieve. A Mystery that was purely absolute!!

'Is this... the power of Omnipotence?' She thought, drowning herself within the baptism of the world. Literally at that. And at the same time, the Void above them, suddenly quaked, and began dripping down like rain.

Like ice melting, the Void began to melt as well, opening up a small area above them. The occurrence being quite sudden, and too fast, and something that prompted Athena to instinctively respond back.

A series of Divine Abilities were immediately cast, [Ruler's Authority], [Aether Manipulation], [Nature Warping], [Nether Manipulation] and even her Advanced Divine Ability, "True Form" was activated, prompting her to take on a form of ascandence and beauty.

A form that ardoned her entire body in a gold and silver full body battle armor, that revealed not even a tiny bit of her skin. The armor being pristine and feminine, shining with unique runes that spelt multiple characters such as "War", "Wisdom", "Knowledge" and many others.

Yet all that, took an instant to occur. The Void dripping down from above them, and her taking on her True Form, it all happened too fast and almost instantaneous. She used all Skills in ascension, and forcefully displaced her and the presence of the World Will away from their current location.

This allowed them to avoid the break down of the membrane between Realms, which was something that could crush even weaker Gods to smithereens. They avoided it and reappeared a few thousand light years away.

"Keuk, ka..!!" And the first thing Athena did when they reappeared, was to collapse down on her knees and cough out a mouthful of blood, as the armor of gold and silver around her body, broke down into particles, deactivating her True Form just like that.

「...A rare idiotic move from your side. There was no need for you to do that. My presence can handle the collapse of a mere barrier」

The World Will responded, a bit shocked at Athena's recklessness. And Athena's response did nothing to alleviate that shock. "I know. An idiotic move, right? Hahaha, I just found myself instinctively responding to the threat, since you know... I'm not a pseudo Creator." She said.

「....」

And the reply partially satisfied the World Will. It was a logical reply, and could not be easily refuted. Had she said it was because she likes the World Will, she would have doubted her right there and then.

It would be too suspicious.

"Of course you'd think like that. Haha, if I had my Knowledge Law and Skills, I would have just used you as a barrier instead." She playfully clicked her tongue in annoyance, as if aware of the World Will's thoughts.

「...There is no going about it. You claim to like me, yet you talk about using me so casually」

"Huh? Isn't that logic? Don't people use what they find to their liking? Otherwise, why would we bother playing with toys that we don't like?" Athena responded, without a shred of shame hidden within her visage.

「...A toy now? Really, orchestrator?」

And the World Will was left speechless once more. The fact that this woman could claim to like her, while treating her with such low regards despite the disperency between their powers and standing, showed that she was just insane.

"I am not. Either way, I wouldn't have expected that the barrier between the now Heavenly Divine Realm and the Mortal Realm, would break apart. Look, now it's Essence are invading the Mortal Realm." Athena responded to the obvious thoughts of the World Will.

「And if it wasn't for that man, that old friend of yours, such a thing wouldn't have happened」

The World Will responded to her words, as it's presence shifted towards the hole a thousand light years away. Athena also focused her gaze at the area, that was now destroyed beyond recognition. "Like I said, you shouldn't show your bitterness in front of a man. Especially if he is the reason you are bitter in the first place." She added.

The World Will remained silent throughout and even after Athena's words. She only focused on the two entities that descended from from the small opening above. One being a young man of age seventeen from appearance, wearing an all white attire with green and gold linings.

While the other was a short woman within her middle twenties, having a chubby appearance, with great endowments that many woman would love to have; an abundant chest, explosive curves, thick thighs, and a thick draconic tail behind her gently waving back and forth.

She also had a pair of majestic thick yet short horns above her bundle of gray hair, her similarly colored gray eyes exploring the soroundings with curiosity and wonder. "This... world is low leveled. I can already feel the natural laws of the world rejecting me, and suppressing my power." She whispered softly.

"Please bare with it, and protect your body. It's no longer just yours alone." The young man besides her responded, his eyes already sat a thousand light years away, traversing through space and landing directly on Athena.

"Mhm." The woman besides him nodded, gently pressing her hand over her stomach, yet her stern gaze was also turned towards Athena. There was caution drifting within, as her presence as a Transcendental Goddess was ready to be riled up.

"I wouldn't expect any less from the carbon copy of our leader. You seem to already be aware of the fact that I would be here." Athena said after the realization that all eyes were on her. The Knowledge Law was just this amazing.

But the discovery was not nice. Being the center of attention was nice, but not when the ones looking at you, had the capability to look down on you. Or so Athena thought. "As expected of the one who stripped me of my–"

"Please stop, senior. I am not the man you presume me to be, and I have no connection with him either than being his creation. I am not a clone, but I am not different from one. I am just a creation, an aspect of his guidance." The man responded, disrupting Athena's words.

His words also contained his stand point pertaining to Enigma. Though he was given access to the Law of Knowledge at its perfect mastery, as well as the ability to use the Divine Skill Tree, "Cosmic Destiny Guider" to his liking, he was not a Path, hence not Enigma.

He was just a creation. An aspect. An entity borne with a sole purpose to achieve. That was all that he was, yet there was someone who disagreed. Athena. "You can say all that, but that doesn't necessarily change the fact that you were made under his image." She said.

"...And what would that suggest?" Teach inquired back, his eyes squinting slightly in confusion. He knew a lot, most probably everything below Supreme Gods and those above, yet he would never perfectly understand the workings and intricacies of True Gods.

"Something simple, really. That he made you under his image for a reason. The "Enigma" you all see and know, might not be aware, but my leader surely had a purpose in creating you under his image. You just... have to find out what it was." She responded, rubbing the blood trailing from her nose.

And her words struck the descending duo straight to their hearts, for reasons unique to each of them. But the most affected was Teach, who had grown complacent after having grasping full mastery over Knowledge.

Yet Yet failed... to even discern something like this? He failed to understand the meaning behind the actions of his creation. He failed... to know the reason of his existence.

"Yet you claim the identity of being the All-knowing. It doesn't suit you. At least, so far, it doesn't seem to fit the missing puzzle making up your Being." Athena added, her hands folded behind her back as she turned around to retreat.

"Descend, become a mortal, understand what it means to live, to value life, to understand you relations, to know yourself. Start up a force, a family, or a business, do whatever it is that you want, but during that time... know yourself." She added.

Her visage burst our with the remaining bit of power that she had, warping the Void and opening up a path towards the endless skies of Terra once more. "It is said... Know yourself, before you can begin to claim to know anything else. Live by that, leader." She concluded, leaving the hidden void behind.

「....」

The silent World Will, that hid itself from Teach and his Law, also left with her. She was curious, very much so, but at the same time, looking forward to leaving this place. It's grudge against Enigma was still prevalent.
