"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 between.

According to her words, Offense-type divine arts are the powers used to aid believers and followers during battle or war. An example would be [Enhancement], which can increase believer's battle prowess by 5 to 10%.

Defense-type divine arts are used to increase the defense, Invulnerablility and toughness of believers. It could also be used on oneself to increase their own defense when used by divine power and not faith power.

Support-type divine arts are self-explanatory, as they are used to support believers. If one thinks about it carefully, all divine arts can be viewed as support when used on believers. So what differentiated those that fell under Support-type and the rest of the divine arts?

It was that, those under Support-type category were genuinely meant for support and had no attack property or defense property at all. Two examples would be [Limb Restoration] and [Float], which only aided the believer and the god.

Influence-type divine arts are the more rarer powers among the five categories. Arts under this category tended to affect the external environment of the god more, than the god themselves.

[Weather Manipulation] was one such art that affected the region the god reigned over, giving them the power to alter the weather to their liking. Some even using it as punishment or divine judgment towards their believers.

And lastly would be the Miscellaneous-type divine arts. These are the easiest divine arts to learn, having a success rate of 98,6% among all the hundred and eight palaces.

This was because these divine arts did not have any attack property, protection property, support propert nor an influential property. Instead they were just there to make the true god look more godly and notably unique compared to mortals and other gods.

The divine arts were [Possession], [Telekinesis], [Omnilingualism] and [Transmutation]. Though it was debatable how the second and forth divine art affects the environment as well, they were still deemed as not Influential-type.

After speaking up to there, Hestia had paused and gave them enough time to digest the new information. She then gave each of them a small booklet and explained about the importance of faith towards a True God.

Faith was a power only true gods could use among their equivalent ranks. Even the Deities within the mortal worlds only had minimal to zero use for Faith, compared to True Gods of the High-Outer Worlds.

Faith points could be farmed from believers and followers, the codes around the godlin's hands will be able to collect the faith as points and then convert it into faith power. One thousand points of faith would give out one unit of faith power.

But one mustn't look down on the act of collecting faith points. If one ordinary believer can only provide 15 points per month, then even with one million believers, a god will still only recieve fifteen million points or fifteen thousand units of faith power every month. Just an example.

But thats like five hundred per day. Truthfully that was a lot, but with how much expenditures of faith a main god needed, it was not. They had to manage their temple, bless their subordinates, use it to nourish their bodies or increase the strength of their believers.

Plus, a god who can take in a million believers was a Rank 5 True God. People like these kids only had ten slots of believers at their current rank. Meaning that they could only recieve five units of faith power per day.

Unless all their ten believers were Praise-level and above, then they would stay poor until they grow stronger.

Faith power could also be used as a currency to buy a lot of things within the God Markets. Slaves, followers, believers, artifacts, treasures, all sorts of things you can find within the vast Universe could be found there.

Gaining followers such as dragons, unicorns, angels, demons etc was possible through the market, if you had Affinity with them. After all, the higher the leagues of a believer or a follower, the greater the number of faith points recieved.

For examples, the above mentioned belonged to ordinary races. For Unique races, the faith points increase by 30%, by 70% for Epic races, 100% for Legendary races, 200% for Mythical races

Increasing one's strength and level of belief can also increase the number of faith points recieved daily. Racial rating was not the only way to do things.

"...which is why I advise you kids to increase your strength and that of your followers in order to gain more faith. The third batch of the second generation would be joining you ten yirs later, you better not be a disappointment." She said as she curled her lips up slight.

"Now you may go back to your homes and practice those divine arts until next week. I advise you to start with the easier ones such as the Miscellaneous-type divine arts since they are quite useful on their own way. Class dismissed, see you all next week." She packed her stuff, if she had any to begin with, and then left the class just like that.

The learners sat there and digested the information they were just given. Allen though, had already digested everything and was looking forward to getting to know Enigma.

Unfortunately the moment he turned around, he could not spot Enigma's figure anywhere. It seemed as if he had just disappeared out of thin air, because he was here a moment ago, Allen thought.

"You're looking for that Enigma guy? Teach took him out when she left." An unrestrained energetic voice rang from behind him as he turned around slightly.

"Is that so? Lets just forget it then." He sighed lightly then began a conversations with Su Han as they started chatting together as if they were old mates. Later, Takashi joined them.

He was the only one daring enough to go to them, as their talents were far apart. As a Blue, would he fit in with Voilets? Unlikely, but to Takashi, that did not seem to be a problem.

Meanwhile, Enigma stood before Hestia as she looked him up and down with clear mischief drifting in her eyes. Enigma didnt know what tricks she had to play this time, but he bowed light and greeted her resoectfully.

"Enigma Mystique greets senior."

"So, you really dont love me?" She ignored his words and instead sighed heavily. Her eyes closed and her smile bitter. Her tone was a bit cheeky though.

'I knew it.' Enigma sighed exasperatedly in his mind, but smiled lightly externally as he retorted her words, "I probably have a fiancée or two considering my situation, why would I still go for someone whose my mother's age?"

"Are you calling me old?" Hestia put on an exaggerated expression of a pitiful maiden and covered her mouth as she lightly exclaimed.

"Are you saying my mother is old?" Enigma didn't lose out to her and exaggeratedly covered his mouth in shock as he asked back. Hestia kept her mouth shut, she did not dare affirm that.

"...."

"Either way senior, I hope what I said was a joke. About the Palace finding a fiancee for me." Enigma also switched back to his usual expression and asked bitterly.

"Hm~ I'm not sure, at least not yet. If you do well in your first trial, they might think of doing such a thing." Hestia lightly hummed as she responded.

"After all, who would let a Mystique leave for the forth time just like that? They already regret the first three times, I doubt they'd let another one escape out of their hands."

Hestia. To others, this was just another main god, a powerful one even. One of the few [True Higher Existences] of the Everlasting Star True District. A goddess who owns a divinity registered among the stars as a constellation.

A Cosmic Nascent Rule!!

But to Enigma and his sisters, she was just a family-friend, an aunt and a guardian. It was to the point that even his older sister never visits because she fears being reprimanded by her.
