Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

Hestia opened her eyes in shock again. With the District's level of industrialization, it wouldn't be strange for one such genius to be born in each Palace, making that a total of hundred and ten or less such types of geniuses.

But this time around, their Everlasting Star True District unexpectedly gave birth to two. But it was not that heaven defying, there were probably more District with such geniuses.

This one was even more terrifying than the last one. That was all the other candidates and Hestia could think. But not Enigma, he had a very terrifying thought in his head.

'The first one was the goofy looking kid I saw before I came to this place wasn't it? And this guy, doesn't he look familiar? Like that black haired perverted guy? He looks a bit mature now, I guess.'

Was this a coincidence? Or was something bigger going on behind the scenes? What about the other two girls that also caught his attention? Unfortunately they were not from this District it seems.

Enigma was in his own world, but the candidates kept trying their best and most of them ended in failure. Only one out of ten would luckily become an ARC.

Luckily enough, there were thousands of candidates compared to the first batch's selection where they were less people and stricter requirements.

Aside from those two geniuses, there were many more ARCs that managed to reincarnate. Though most of them drifted around Red and Orange Providences, there were some Yellow, Green and Blue Providences as well.

Indigo and Voilet were unfortunately still not there. Meaning that they were only two of them. Now to go back to the templates of the two geniuses, some information needed to be explained.

First of all, the Constitution. This was a unique feature only to ARCs, where their bodies are either forged on their previous life's talents, traits or titles. Su Han was the latter, his body was forged over his supremacy in his last life.

While Allen had his body forged from one of his traits. Constitution of course came with their own special effects only applicable to them and only them. Other godlins didn't have this unless they were special or unique, like descendents of other ARCs or people loved by the True Cosmos.

The 'Fantasy' behind the Constitution meant to show the rank of said Constitution. From Iron to Silver to Gold to Unique to many more.

Iron allowed one to have talents above other godlins, increasing their speed of becoming a main god by two. Silver had special passive effects that were favorable to the godlin's path of ascension.

Gold had a special active effects, that defied physics and common sense even within the scope of the godlins eyes. An example would be having enough strength to fight five godlins of the same level or have enough divine power to match them altogether.

Unique was something only the True Gods should worry about. Anyone below that level of power would literally slow their progress by two if such a Constitution awakened within them.

Fantasy was around Main God level, meaning that it's effects will only shine during then. But it still had all the effects of the previous mentioned ranks. There was also another rank higher.

But that was for next time. Following Constitution, was Providence.

Providence was the abilities, traits or other characteristics of their past lives, formed into Superpowers in this life. Unlike the first trait, Constitution, this one was not special to the ARC. Others could have similar Providences.

The 'Unique' word meant that the Providence were special and above what the people of the Lower Realms could use, something like a divine ability.

Not like they were none who had such abilities, but they were demigods, heroes, legends or champions in the least.

"If it isn't the betrayer's turn. I'm impressed you had the gull to show up here after what your entire family has done." It was finally Enigma's turn, but not surprisingly, someone still chose to verbally attack him.

"...."

Enigma decided to keep quiet and deal with it, like how he usually does things. But it seems that like any other day, they were not ready to let him off.

"Even if you ignore us, it's still a fact." Another teen who had failed to become an ARC decided to join in on the fun. Since they now found a mutual enemy, they decided to use him to relieve their stress and pent up emotions on him.

"When are you gonna join your sister and parents to betray us, huh?"

"I bet he already has it planned."

"He is a Mystique though, what else can you expect from them? Cowards, bastards, what else suits them as a synonym?"

"Haah~ Why does such a talented family have to have such a history? They are all powerful people, aren't you people afraid of gaining their wrath?" Allen couldn't help but sigh in exasperation as he intervened.

Everyone quieted down due to his providence and future rank. ARC like him had a very high future, who wouldn't want to make connection with them?

"What wrath? We didn't do anything did we? We are only stating facts, the truth, what even they cannot go against." The first Blue ARC to be born in this batch retorted in a strong tone as he stood up. He was a reincarnate of Izanagi (???), Takashi Minamoto.

"They can still kill you though. I mean, they are people who could betray an entire God-level District, that transcends an infinite number of lower Districts, what makes you think they still retain feelings for this place? Let alone an insignificant fool like you?" Allen continued pressing his point, leading to Takashi shutting his mouth speechless.

"...."

"Don't you find it strange how the Mystique family is still alive despite half of them betraying us? Are the other Main Gods afraid of them? Or is there some sort of consequences to going against them?

"And here you are, bold enough to attack someone who could potentially become the next heir of the family. He is the only male member after all, and if I remember well, his sister is a... ahem, a Bro-con." Allen cleared his throat and looked left and right then checked Enigma's expression before revealing the last word.

This showed how much caution one needed to say such words, even for a promising candidate like himself. Takashi was now utterly persuaded, no, it was not like he wasn't. He just bore personal grudges, that's all.

"...."

From then on, the discussions quieted down and everyone finally thought things carefully before continuing trashing Enigma. He has been bullied for six years, stopping now was too late, but it was not like they had ever done any physical harm to him or gone too far.

It was only up to the point of verbal abuse and being given reproachful glares from time to time. So Enigma found no reason to entertain them nor get angry over such small matters. But no matter how small it was, he was glad Allen stood up for him.

If he said it himself, it would sound like an excuse or like he was defending them, leading to even more attacks from their side.

Enigma ignored everyone else as he placed his hand above the orb. The area was plunged into silence as everyone stifly waited. Takashi frowned as he watched Enigma touch the orb.

Allen had a light smile on his face as he was eager to see one of the descendents of the 'legendary' Mystique family of the Everlasting Star True District.

Su Han also had his attention shifted towards Enigma as he felt like there was a lot of mysteries around the boy. He couldn't help but smile excitedly and rub his hands together.

The candidates were not the only ones curious though. Hestia intently stared at Enigma as a Heroic figure of female appeared in her head for a moment. Only one word could describe her perfectly, Unstoppable.

But while everyone was feeling stiff, excited, expectant and hopeful, Enigma was actually depressed. Neither of these people knew, that he was not confident in his chances.

And as if to justify his thoughts, as his hand touched the orb... Unparalleled Darkness descended upon everyone within the room.

It was so unexpected, nobody was able to respond to the change. Nobody except Hestia of course, as she was god far stronger than the likes of everyone here.

Meanwhile, on Enigma's side, or rather, through his perspective, everything felt different.

He outstretched his arm towards the orb on the platform. When he touched the platform, he felt how soft, smooth and cold it was to the touch. But that was for an instant.

Because the next second, unprecedented darkness befell everyone and for a second, the world, no the entire True Verse's time stopped. It was only a second for everyone, but to Enigma, he experienced eternity.
