Chapter 7 The A-Team
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 is it, your special day. I will not waste any of your time as I am very tired. Today, you get to become True Gods and be accepted by one of the seniors behind me as your team leaders.
"From then on, you will be allocated a world were you will spend three yirs (thirty years) inside. After that, you will return to test each other's strength through a small tournament. There'll be rewards, big rewards, so don't sleep on it." She said as she gestured everyone to look at the hundreds of gigantic tubes behind them.
The tubes had frost around them and mist everywhere, making it hard to see what was inside or what was happening around them. They looked like hundreds of giant worms. intertwing together for warmth.
"These seniors behind me will lead you forward from here on out. As for me, I would like Mr Han, Takashi, Allen and Enigma to follow me." She then turned around, and nodded at the twelve young adults behind her and they nodded back at her.
As she walked past them, she dragged one of them and left with him. Enigma immediately followed behind them, Allen and Su Han behind him, while Takashi was last.
"Why were they called?"
"Beats me."
"Are they perhaps special?"
"The weakest of them had a Blue Providence, though we are not sure what Enigma got, he must be around there as well."
"So, they are the special group? How unfair."
"I feel sorry for the thousands of kids who didnt become ARCs, they'd surely vomit blood after hearing your words."
"...."
Two of the teenagers began speaking towards each other as they saw Hestia leave the class. The others also listened, while some also debated the reason.
"Thats enough, my name is Jeffrey, I am team leader number 1, now line up and prepare to be baptized." One of the young adults finally stepped forward, leading everyone to focus on him and stop talking.
His actions brought calm, as everyone showed respect to him. Who would not, when Jeffrey was one of the few terrifying monsters of the last batch?
From then on, peace and order returned back to the gathering as the remaining eleven leaders shared the godlins amongst each other. Each one getting ten.
Meanwhile, within the boundless void, six females stood above the stars and chatted among themself. They were all great beauties and had different scales of beauty, only two who seemed like twins looked completely the same.
They floated within the endless darkness, accompanied by nothing but empty Space, a few meteors and shattered Planets.
"Geez, when are they coming?" One of the girls complained as she played with the lolipop in her mouth. Her figure was small and petite, her chest was also close to nonexistent, but her curves and waist was top class.
"Calm down." Another beauty casually brushed her bangs aside as she responded. Her tone was quite prideful but not arrogant. Unlike the first person, she had a moderate chest, waist and curves and her height was the average height of teenage girl.
"Yes yes, calm down." With the same figure, height, three sizes and similar hairstyle, she followed up after the first and mimicked her tone. If one stood before the other, they would look like a person staring at the mirror.
The two that just spoke, were a tad bit too identical, from scratch. The only difference were their expressions, and body language.
"Shut up." The petite figure shouted back at them as her temper flared. Luckily, she was not that savage to attack them. Or rather, she was afraid of something, which is why she held back.
"...."
The most beautiful out of them all sat down with her legs crossed and her hands put together. Seeming as if she was meditating. As for her figure, it was temptateously well drawn, enough to seduce even the same gender.
Her chest was also slightly above moderate but not overly big, consider it perfect, if you wish. Her complexion was Pale white, smooth and translucent. Enough to even match main goddesses despite being a godlin.
She sat there and said nothing at all. Another teenager, not far from the beauty was huddling in the corner by herself as she warily looked at the first three girls.
Her figure could not be clearly seen in her position, but her face was only second to the calm beauty in looks alone. She also had a bit of shyness in her expression, but her eyes were still steadfast, exuding her reliability.
But she still seemed wary of the fiesty petite young girl, and decided to not say anything for the time being. Her bearing was also one to command.
"...."
She also kept her mouth shut, afraid that she might gain the ire of any of the other goddesses. She just sat there and prayed silently, to herself, as she was a goddess too.
"About time... All of you, SHUT THE HELL UP!! And prepare yourselves to land." The last beauty checked her time by peaking at the Boundless Void, then smiled a devil-like smile as she shouted at the first three girls.
Her smile was that of a delinquent, yet for some reason, seemed modest and calm. It was like a daredevil, who was about to do something beyond their ability, yet with a calm mindness.
Pride, and Arrogance. Was what filled that smile.
Her shout jolted the fifth girl and also woke up the forth. The first girl couldn't help but grit her teeth, but still kept her mouth shut. The twins also kept quiet and the other two girls didnt say anything.
It was not that they feared her, but because if they don't prepare for a proper landing, they might embarrass themselves down there. And since their supposed leader was there, it was not a proper first impression.
"Here we go." She said lightly as a white beam of light burst out from below her feet. Lightly kicking the star she was standing on, her figure slightly floated up then was immediately taken away by the light.
The same thing occurred with the other five girls as they also vanished from this deep and endless void. They all seemed to head towards a small planet off in the distance.
And within said planet, four handsome teens, one mature beauty and one young adult looked up at the six beams of light as they rushed towards their direction.
The young adult and the mature beauty did not say anything as they saw this. But Takashi could not help but look back at them as he asked, "Sensei, this..."
"Its all up to you whether you can gain yourselves respect from these lasses or not. If you just stand there, I might unintentionally bring a dead body to feed my pet dog." Hestia casually replied with a teasing smile on her face.
"Bullshit dog..." Enigma whispered under his breathe as the six beams of light got increasingly close. The sorounding air was also beginning to increase in temperature.
"But... she does have a point." He bitterly laughed as his sixth sense warned him of his upcoming death if he kept on standing there without doing anything.
"I know right?" Allen laughed in mischief, as the only word that got in his ears was "lasses". But it seemed like he still valued his life above his desires and wants.
He stretched out his hand, causing the innate energy in his body to gather before him, forming into a large barrier between him and the upcoming beams.
Lucky enough, the barrier protected everyone within. But all of them still felt the death intent whispering in their ears. Takashi put his hand above the barrier, empowering it with his own innate energy to strengthen it.
This two arts were [God-Barrier Protection] and [Divine Empowerment]. One that formed a barrier between two people or objects to protect one side. While the other enhanced any inanimate objects by instilling innate energy or faith points.
