"What's this? What's going on?" Takashi asked suddenly, as the lights finally returned to the visions. To be precise, their brains could comprehend the light that reflected everything into their eyes once again.
"I have no idea." Allen shrugged his shoulders. The others also began talking among themselves, guessing whether Enigma failed or the machine was broken."Did he fail? Seems like that to me.""But that experience? Did an Apocalypse descend?""Idiot why would an Apocalypse descend here? Maybe it was that guy who did it.""Dumbass, how can a godlin have such power? You're clearly still half asleep or probably drunk. It's clear that Enigma failed to become an ARC, so much for a Mystique.""But...""Just..."The conversations didn't stop there as everyone was either arguing or debating amongst each other. As for Hestia, she had her eyes filled with shock and joy as she read the template of Enigma."It's True, the Mystiques can never be judged by common sense. Hahaha, look at this, isn't he more of a monster than his parents and older sister?" She murmured to herself, still in shock.__________________________________________________Name: Enigma MystiqueReincarnate: ~~~Cultivation: GodlinConstitution: ~~~Providence(7): Progenitor of Divinity (???), Rabbit God's Arsenal (Unique), Innate Adaptation (???), All-Elemental Mastery (Unique), The Miracle (???), Pirate King's Treasury (Unique), Soul King's Vault (Unique)Artifacts(1): Fate - Series (???)__________________________________________________Just the fact that he got seven Providence could put him within the same group as Allen and Su Han. The Mystiques were truly frightening people, even now, people still had doubts about where this family came from.One thing was for sure though, whether they stayed or not, the Everlasting Palace would do nothing about it. In other words, they could leave and return as they please, acting as if this District, no, entire Verse, was their home. Let alone this one, all of the other Verses.Unfortunately he got no Constitution, meaning his future was not set. Even with seven Providence and one Artifact, without a direction for his life, his template might stay like this for the rest of his life. Limiting him from becoming a main god in the future."Well I guess that's about enough." Hestia clapped her hands to gain everyone's attention towards herself. "Now, if you are an ARC, please stand this side and prepare to follow me.""If you're not, the door right there will lead you towards the Palace. There were will be a tournament in your first graduation yirs, about three yirs from now. If you can perform well, who knows, an ARC might take favor over you."She said as she immediately left the place without even looking back. The others were down for quite a bit, but a moment later they rushed towards the Palace to accept a master.It might sound disgraceful but working under an ARC was more fulfilling than it sounded. After all, those guys had the chance to create their own "Inner Worlds(True Dimensions)" filled with planets and life within when they become main gods.If they could manage one world, they would be able to ascend after and become main gods as well. Plus, there was payment in the form of faith points.The hundred and forty four ARCs followed behind Hestia as she led them towards a Teleportation gate. She nor anyone else said a word during their journey.Enigma also didn't say anything as he was stranded in his own world. He couldn't help but go back to the place where he met those strange entities. What was strange was that... why were they desperately begging him to choose them?『Choose me, I promise you that you will not regret it. I swear upon my family name as well as my Divinity that you will definitely NOT regret it. My power can even allow you to create your own unique god clan that will listen to only you and express your will. You can also summon ten divine-like beasts, one stronger than the other. And, and...』Enigma saw an incomprehensible scene before him. A beauty who literally had pale white skin, three eyes, wore large white robes and had silver hair more than twice her height 'begged' him to choose her.One could tell that she was originally a noble and cold person, but right now, she was like a poor begger who would even sell her body just to be chosen. For what, he didn't know.『Don't listen to her. If you can choose me, I can give you the power to start up your own Era. Become the 'King' of said Era and start an entire age based upon yourself. Strength greater than the average gods? Divine presence that can put anybody down to their knees? Senses that transcend godly limits and allow you to see the future, hear the dead or taste the air? I can give them all to you. What about the power to give out fruits that can bestow mortals unprecedented powers? I have them all hahaha』This time around, an old man, well not that old, held a glass of delicate wine in his hand and wore loose ancient clothes of the west, valiantly laughed as he tempted Enigma to choose him.Desperation could still be smelt from him even though he acted so calm and happy going. His mustache, was also quite cool albeit comical.『Tsk Tsk Tsk, why stoop so low? I can give you the power to see the dead, talk to the dead, control souls, emit intense soul pressure, forge soul Artifacts, release innate soul origin as a Manifestation on the physical form and to control evolution upon minor creatures or species. If that's not all... I can also give you the power to bestow miracles by making the wishes, desires and thoughts of mortals come true. So, what do you think?』This time, a humanoid blurry figure with oval-shaped empty eyes, no hands and trapped within a golden crystal emitted sound waves towards Enigma. He, also sounded desperate.Enigma was unsure what to do and just stood rooted right there at the spot. To be honest, he knew that they were probably Incarnates of the past, but a lot just didn't add up.Like, why were they so desperate? Why were the three inside him? Why him? Are they even telling the truth? One can't be sure with how desperate they were.『He... doesn't seem to trust us』『Well do something you damn rabbit』『Don't call me a rabbit, you sick bastard』『I'm not sick anymore, hahaha. Plus, if you don't want to be called that, why did you eat that fruit?』『It's not like I knew it'd make me like this!!!』『Hahaha』The first and second 'Gods' began quarreling like siblings infont of him. Enigma was surprised but still said nothing. He instead watched the third person, who seemed like the most rationale of them all.Luckily, he was not betrayed.『I have created a solution. Kid, this is our gift to you, to be honest, it's not from us, it can help you through your path and every breakthrough will unlock a special Providence specifically for you, from each of our time. If you can become a main god, we will meet again, by then, I hope the young master will have a much more solidified foundation to accept all of us instead of making us fight so much like this... as long as you don't accept others like us』Enigma held his head in pain as they information entered his brain. The person spoke so fast that he failed to catch up in time, but luckily the words were transmitted to his mind as well."Who... are you guys?" He called out lightly as his consciousness drifted away from the place with the three people. But he still managed to catch on to three pieces of info before he completely vanished into the infinite darkness.『You can call it... the Immutable System... for now, that is. Stop it, you two, you're distracting me. How will the young master view us, if all you do is argue like little brats』『Sorry』『Relax old friend...』『You look older than him though』『I do not. I just look more ancient』『Yeah, I agree. You said it yourself』『Why you...』『.....』Unbeknownst to Enigma, the atmosphere was always lively whenever he was not around. The three beings acted like siblings around each other."Listen up kitties, today's first lesson will be the brief up about the divine arts of our Everlasting Palace. Well, all the basic arts of the Hundred and eight Palaces are the same."Things only change when it involves advanced powers and special powers. But that is something for you lot to worry about starting from next yir."As I was saying before, today, or rather this week you will be learning divine arts only. The more you can learn, the easier your journey will be like in the Unique Worlds." Hestia said after everyone was sitted down infront of her."Unique Worlds?" Su Han, raised up his hand with a rather simple-matic expression on his face. To say he was confused or lost, would be ideal."Yes, unlike the other godlins, you people will invade the unique worlds using your previous life names, as aliases, if you want. Your job is to gain followers, learn to become independent as well as to farm faith power." She further explained towards Su Han, patiently and calmly. "Ooohh~" He nodded his head in understanding, but Hestia doubted whether he understood his goal of going down to the Unique Worlds. "And by next week, you will officially form your own teams. Don't worry though, you will only go in teams if you luckily discover Ultimate Worlds, which someone of your level alone will not be able to survive. "Now back to the main topic. The five categories of your basic divine arts are Offense, Defense, Support, Influence and lastly, Miscellaneous. Each category has its own art, which altogether add up to twenty one basic arts." She paused as she let everyone digest the new information. Then she began shooting out another outburst of information without catching a breathe in
Afterall, she was the one that took care of them ever since their parents left them. She never complained no did she ever make things tough for them. Instead, they dragged her down. Instead of becoming the strongest main god or even a supreme, she ended up falling behind the other twenty nine gods because of taking care of them. She also ended becoming a teacher to make things easier for his older sister. Unfortunately his sister left them just like his parents. But Hestia still did not lose her job or say anything. She barely blamed them at all and always instilled the thought that the was a reason behind everything. Because of her, Enigma and his sisters did not resent their parents nor their older sister. Instead, they lived life normally just like any other godlin. In fact, what was terrifying was that, all of them, were quite sure that leaving was the only path if they continued growing stronger. They didn't know why, or how that was the case, but a feeling affirmed that. Gra
Even his sister, was not such a terrifying monster. She mastered fifteen within a week, and rest within less than another week. Overall, she mastered twenty one Basic Divine Arts, in less than two weeks, while this little freak was done mastering seven, in just a single day. Including even the harder ones even!!! "Mystiques..." Their talent... was nothing but ordinary. A week easily went by just like that. To Gods, time was truly something to scorn at. They had unlimited lifespan and could retain their looks even after living for thousands of years. So seven days was not really that much of a big deal. Especially considering that they had to spend years down in the mortal worlds. The hundred and twenty ARCs gathered once again in front of Hestia. She carefully scanned all of them with a slight smile on her face. There was also twelve young adults behind her, somewhere around Enigma's older sister's age. They were clearly people from the previous batch, and their seniors. "This
Since they have not become true gods yet, they could not use divine power and opted to use their innate energy, or vitality instead. Luckily, the death intent relaxed a bit, but it was still there. Su Han, looked up at the six beams of light casually. Then at Takashi and Allen who were sweating slightly, he was surprised as he didnt feel anything at all. "Brother over there, are you either stupid or fearless? Either way, I respect both as I have none. But just for warning, you'd better brace yourself for impact." Enigma warned Su Han as he stretched put both hands. An incomprehensible scene finally occurred before the other three as another barrier formed above Allen's. Then another, and another, another and finall the last one. Just the act of creating a single barrier was hard enough, let alone the act of creating two whole barriers, then two more above that!! The act was incomprehensible. Hell where did Enigma get the Vitality to do such a broken thing as simple as breathing?
Clear blue eyes, and a slim Physiques, that was not too muscular, yet also not too thin. He was quite the baddy, if one had to say something about his overall charm. "For starters, my name is Jin Holland. I am a rank final ascendency true god. I am only one step from becoming a main god, I am also a senior from the first batch of the third generation, our, generation. Nice to meet you all. "Now off to official business, how to become true gods from a godlin. We will not use any process here and..." He tapped his foot lightly on the ground, opening ten portals behind him. "Just go through the process as fast as possible. Be warned though, the moment you enter this portal, you will be accepting your past and your personalities might be influenced, the chances are low though. Do you still want to go in?" He asked for confirmation. And the teenage gods did not hesitate to nod their heads in agreement. "In that case, off you go. With your talents, I bet nothing will change with you guys
"Well bummer, I give up... Can you please come out, pretty please?" Beg. Yup, you heard it right. A god was begging a nonexistent entity to show itself, 'Well, I'm still a godlin, so....' 《Ting!!!》 'It works? All I needed was to beg? Are you kidding me?' Enigma looked on ahead with a blank expression as he wondered whether this System had an ego or was it there to teach him how to be humble? 《Hmm, you called?》 'Yup, this little thing definitely has an ego.' He shook his head to clear out his thoughts as he asked, "Yes? No? Nevermind. I just wanted to know what functions you have, what use are you to me or am I to you?" 《Is that so? Well, I can display your existence in the form of data and stats. I can also break down things and decipher them in order to gain information. And I can help manage your chores... at a cost》 'I don't think the last one was necessary. And even if it was, how could you do something like that?' Enigma retorted silently in his mind. 《...That was a joke. I
"I, Louise Victoria Vermillion, hereby accept my identity as the personification of Night, the Primordial Darkness, Son of Chaos. I hereby declare to the universe that I have returned... And shall fulfill my promise to the "Great Lord" that the Old Gods had made." The white space that one of the girls that came with Athena, Louise, was sent to, was instantly sorounded by darkness from corner to corner. This darkness swallowed everything, leading to complete darkness, darker than black itself. Suspended in the center of this phenomenon, the overly beautiful Louise closed her eyes and let the True Will, an entity above everyone, the highest true order, do its job. The darkness was absorbed into her hair, her originally dark hair turned a shader darker. Making it look darker than the abyss itself. It even felt like it was absorbing the sorounding heat and light. Her complexion became a bit paler, increasing her beauty by twofold or even threefold. A cute pure black half tear-like drop
Allen stood stranded within the white space as profound heavenly aura drifted around him. Unlike the 'holy' heavenly aura of the white space he was within, his heavenly aura was just ancient and profound. He stood there with his hands held behind his back, his back stretched straight and his head held high. Around him, ten small worlds drifted within the space, orbiting around his body as the central lying point. Compared to the image of his past life, Vishnu, his new appearance looked different. It was more human-looking than godly. In fact, saying that he had a complete different look altogether was not a lie. This was because this was one of his avatars, the eighth, so to speak. With an incomprehensible charming face, well built physique with broad shoulders and mighty arms, as well as a tanned complexion and coppery eyes. He was shirtless and had a large and beautiful bow in his arms. His dark chocolate hair drifted within the space even without wind, his coppery eyes looked on
