Established Pinnacle: The Enigma-Chapter 17 Terra, The World Of Ten Thousand Races I
?She suddenly turned around, as she saw, instantaneously at that, the numerous vast space beyond the countless Totalities get swallowed.
And all the countless Totalities were swallowed as well, including the Primordial Bamboo Tree. It was destroyed so effortlessly at that.
All of Existence was wiped out.
From just a wiggle of this... thing's body.
All her loved ones. All her people. All her family. Basically, everyone she knew, from those that mattered, to those that did not even matter at all...
They were all gone.
"...."
Young Kaguya blankly watched as everything was swallowed, and replaced by a murky Void made out of various colors, gold, green and lime being the most abundant.
The pressure she felt from just this Void was too much, for she was suffocating from just merely being exposed to it. Yet, the... thing , just wiggled in joy.
It's actions seemed to have been instinctive.
It destroyed everything in order to unveil such a place, without caring much about anything. Simply, it took the simplest method in order to achieve its goals, regardless of everyone.
"...."
Young Kaguya was still surprised, and probably shocked, when she felt a voice come from all directions, and seemed to stretch out to cover basically everything.
『My my, a little cell from that guy has caused so much trouble? How many cells were split from just that droplet of blood he spilled? Next time, I better not make him bored』
As the entity spoke, it's voice was epitome, as it healed her injuries and brought calm to her heart. And also dispersed the green misty Void she was within.
That thing... was also easily dispersed just from the voice alone, as next, it targeted her, or rather, young Kaguya.
Meanwhile, Kaguya opened her eyes as she stopped reminiscing about the past. That point, was the point in time where she was saved, and joined many others as well.
Where she met a few fellows that had connections to her Primordial Bamboo Tree Totality, yet were not truly connected. Something like distant relatives if you may.
She sighed, and smiled.
What she met was not even an Infinitismal percentage of what the Apocalypse, and the Anomaly were capable off. She met a cell of the Apocalypse separated from a droplet of blood.
And the Will of the Anomaly, that was considered 'brainless' and 'brain dead', as even it's ideas were just too horrible.
Yet such entities, were beyond herself.
"I know, I know we are weak, and we always were. But..." Kaguya sighed, as she could not help the tears from flowing down her face, "But I wish everything was just... different."
She thought.
? ? ? ? ?
Outside the ten portals, Hestia and Jin stood side by side as they conversed with each other. Jin was casual with Hestia despite only being a true god while she was a main goddess.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Jin asked all of a sudden, immediately destroying the mood of the place. But he felt it was a necessary question to ask.
If the kid was going to join his squad, then he needed to know if he had the same ambition as his parents or his grandfather. There was a stark difference between the two.
One side literally wanted the obliteration of the whole True Verse, and possibly the True Existences throughout all GENESIS.
While the other just wanted to be themselves, as they cared for nobody. Neither their fellow True Existence, nor the other types of Existences that could be found everywhere.
Both were bad for him, but if he had a choice, it was obvious which one he would make here.
"...." 𝑓𝘳ℯ𝒆w𝘦𝘣𝙣𝘰ѵ𝘦𝚕.c𝗼𝓶
Hestia kept quiet and just looked at one of the nine portals, and it was definitely not Enigma's. Because Enigma's portal... was long gone. And both these fellows weren't shaken.
"...Wouldn't he just follow through their footsteps at the end? I see nothing good coming out of you sealing his memories." Jin kept on pressing the matter as his languid expression turned serious and focused. freℯ𝓌e𝚋𝐧𝘰vℯl.𝐜𝚘𝗺
"Haah~ Jin." Hestia finally sighed and uncrossed her arms that were crossed before her bountiful and appetizing chest. Her tone heavy and depressed.
"Hm?"
"Do you think, someone of your caliber would still be sane under those circumstances?" She inquired with a profound look on her face, but her eyes were filled with bitterness and sadness.
"...."
"Those two lovey dovey couple did a great job 'killing' that monster of a god, Mr M. Not that I believe he is dead. But because of that, they had to leave in a hurry. Left with the boy, what else was I supposed to do?
"I only want what's good for him and his sisters. And I can be sure that, any of his memories below the age of seven did not fall under that category." Her eyes regained their strength as she looked at him.
Jin avoided her glare, or the pure killing intent that was hidden in her eyes. She tried to hide it off, but for a war god like himself, such murderous intent was exposed.
Silence then descended between the both of them. Hestia was trying to control her heart and thoughts, in order not to go on a rampage because of all the memories she Sealed within the poor boy.
Jin was thinking about his career as a team leader, because in the future, he might end up as a leader of a pantheon instead, or pantheons. Each one, terrifying.
The recent team system was that the first batch of the second generation, the most talented twenty-four, would lead ten talented youths from the second batch of the second generation. Two per group.
From then on, each member of the one one hundred and twenty talented second branch would each lead seven members of the third batch's most talented. Then they would each lead three most talented from the final batch.
At the end, the first batch leader will have two hundred and ten true gods under them. And since a true god can have followers who could become gods as well, adding up to a thousand gods would not be an overstatement.
"...."
"...."
"...So, what about your dau---" Jin couldn't help but want to change the sorounding mood, as it was too heavy. But instead, he ended up with a much colder respond.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Hestia said as she avoided his questioning eyes. No matter what, secrets needed to be kept so that they can be considered secrets.
"...."
Finally, the ten, no nine portals shrunk into small whirlpools. This was a sign of everyone finally becoming gods from godlins. Then the portals expanded once again, until they burst into a large screen of white light.
When the light receded, ten youth, yes, ten and not nine appeared before the two adults. Jin couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows. This brat's luck was Heaven defying, it left no space for doubt at all.
As for why he didn't ask Hestia about it, everyone, of the first generation knew of the abnormality of the Mystique family. This was adorable compared to what happened at his sister's coming of age.
"Welcome back everyone. So, how does it feel to be a true god?" Jin took a step forward as he asked them. Compared to before, their looks have changed and they could finally use the Providence from their past lives.
"I feel... stronger?" Su Han was the first as he replied. He did not have any fur, but his hair and eyes were still gold. And last but not least, he wore traditional silk clothes that looked similar to Hanfu.
But instead of increasing his charm, it was contradictory with his wild appearance. Making him look strange, he himself preferred the loose appearance of before.
"I feel sick." Takashi said as he looked at his hands, that released a spark of lightning occasionally. Yup, even for a god, controlling an Law immediately was too hard.
"I feel more beautiful." Allen instead winked at the girls as he said that. The fact that he said those words naturally brought a cringe on the faces of the other guys.
"...No different?" Enigma said, but instead, his words sounded more of a question than a statement. He was truly not sure of the answer himself. Except for coming back as a 'father' of three, he felt no different at all.
"...."
Louise did not say anything, she only looked at Enigma, who avoided her glare. It was not out of embarrassment, but because the intensity of her glare was if he owed her his life.
Ah~ maybe he did.
"Strange."
"Yes yes, strange." The sisters Joy and Joyce seemed to be no different whatsoever. Except for being more beautiful, godly and more eccentric, they were still the same internally dead and hyper twins.
"No different to be honest." Athena shrugged her shoulders as she casually replied. She casually tore off the sleeves and lower half from the knee down, of her dress.
