A few moments back.
Prince Greader watched as Saquin left.
"Casel, which building was he assigned to?" He asked as soon as he confirmed Saquin had left the vicinity.
"Huh?" Casel fidgeted. She could not believe the prince would remember her name, talk less of saying it.
"The No.1 mansion... I think." She quickly shook off her shock and answered.
"Huh?" Maggie and Flair voice sounded at the back.
Even Greader was taken aback.
"Are you sure of this?" He asked.
"Not sure, but that was what he told us." Casel answered truthfully.
Greader stared at her for a moment and ensured she was telling the truth. Then he took a deep breath in.
'He really got into the legendary No.1 mansion... That means he is individually stronger than me.'
Greader started reviewing the matter all over.
'It seems the disguising artifact did not work... The Underworld still sensed my Divine Level Talent.'
A disc shaped object appeared in his mind as he thought of the Artifact. Supposedly, it could disguise the user's talent, lowering it or increasing it.
Of course no one was stupid enough to actually disguise his or her talent to the Divine Level before taking an Empowered trial.
All Divine Level Talent have their special Trial called the Divine Trial with a confirmed fifty percent chance of survival.
Due to this, the artifact had always been passed around and used to reduce a Divine Level Talent to the Pinnacle Level.
With the strength of a Divine Level Talent, passing a normal Empowered Trial is a piece of cake.
Unfortunately, or fortunately, the Artifact had failed to disguise Greader's talent rank.
Unfortunately, because he now had to participate in a Trial with a very, very low survival chance.
Fortunately, because he gets to participate in the supremely rare Trial, The Super Divine Trial.
A Trial that can only occur if a staggering amount of three Divine Level Talent happened to be given birth to in the same month and same year.
Considering how low the chances are for just one Divine Level Talent to appear in a year is. One can imagine how insane it was for the condition for such a Trial to actually be met.
'There are treasures in danger...'
A smile bloomed on his face.
This Trial was about to be hell on earth, but at the same time, the rewards would be massive.
'My legend starts now...'
He turned to look towards Maggie and Flair.
"Things have changed. I need to advance as soon as possible. Get ready, you know what to do."
"Yes, your Highness." They both nodded attentively.
Greader smiled at them, then turned to Casel. "Miss Casel, thank you for your service. I heard you took care of the masses before I arrived."
"Your Highness, it was no problem at all." Casel hurriedly said.
Greader nodded at her. "I would like to go focus on my advancement now. We will see more when I am done."
"Yes, Your Highness." Casel nodded immediately.
Greader immediately left after that. As he passed by both Zeta and Xavier, he threw them a nod after which their anxiousness disappeared.
'Hmm, this Xavier of a guy should be properly trained in the spear art... I can see it in his posture. I don't like his eyes though. While this Zeta, a noble, and also a great fighter. She is probably a World-Class genius.'
Greader thought to himself.
In no time, he reached his own mansion, the No. 2 mansion.
[ Welcome to the No. 2 Mansion, Golden Prince. ]
[ The Super Divine Trial is waiting to commence. ]
[
Participation requirements:
-> Divine Level Talent ✓
-> Grade Zero Rank ×
]
[ Participants Ready: 4/5 ]
Five?
Greader froze.
There are five Divine Level Talent that are born in the same month.
What the hell is going on here?
The mansion did not give him time to fully process what was going on.
[ No. 2 has discovered the presence of a candidate. ]
[ Allocating ten Grade Zero Underessence to advance candidate... Successful. ]
A new screen popped up in front of him.
Greader felt a wave of energy bloom in him. As soon as it passed, he felt reborn.
He was now way stronger than before, his senses were heightened, his body's durability renewed and further strengthened.
"That felt great."
Greader opened his eyes in delight.
He clenched his fist, feeling the power coursing through them, he could not help but nod to himself.
Then his eyes glanced at a screen in front of him.
[ Ability(s): Golden Star (Supreme), Telekinesis (Mundane) ]
"A Supreme ability, the highest grade possible. I guess that should be expected considering my talent level."
A golden sword appeared in his hand.
[ Starshine Blade -- Pinnacle-Class Grade One(0/100).
Description: A sword used to cut things. Possess Star Aura ability. ]
A golden energy coated the sword as it flew away from Greader's hands and floated mid-air.
He could not help but nod to himself in approval.
"I can't access Senar yet, but I can use the metabolic and latent energy in me to use my abilities, albeit barely."
He soon retrieved the sword.
Just then.
[ Participants Ready: 5/5 ]
[ All participants are ready. Super Divine Trial shall now commence in the next five minutes. ]
[ It is recommended that all ordinary Candidates either stay far away or follow the lead of the Divine Level Talents. ]
[ Note: During this event, no where is safe in the Trial Location. Including the base camp. ]
This screen appeared in front of every single surviving Candidate.
A uproar soon shook the whole Base Camp.
In no time people divided into two groups, those who would follow and those who would run.
Meanwhile.
In front of the five participants, another screen appeared in front of them.
[
Clear Requirements:
--> Survive.
--> Kill the Underbeast Boss(Pinnacle-Class Grade One -- Supreme Bloodline.)
--> Kill the young Abomination -- Grade Zero.
Rewards:
Rewards are to be tailored to suit the winning participant.

Saquin read through the content of the screen.
"So, this would most likely dissolve into a me vs all situation of they figure out I was the abomination."
Saquin stated flatly. He placed his hands on his chin.
"I mean that is the only way to make it fair for them."
