He Became A Monstrous Genius After Obtaining A Time Dilation Artifact

The dark clouds loomed above the towering mountain peaks,lightning bolts flashing through the clouds from time to time.

Splatter splatter.

The sound of red rain reveberated in the region ,causing screams of pain and curses to erupt.

" Ah,my eyes . What kind of rain is this?"

" It hurts. It hurts so much"

It was obvious from the reactions of the examinees that this was no ordinary rain.

It was corrosive in its own way,able to cause severe harm to those with weaker physical defenses.

The whole region was clouded in a thick dense fog,clouding visibility.

What was supposed to be ground for the participants to step on , was an ocean of magma. Looming beneath the depths of the magma were horrifying diabolic beasts.

Some of them soared above the currents of the magma ocean from time to time, revealing their forms that unveiled threats to all who dared to approach the ocean before they dove back in.

Far in the sky ,atop this lake, a young man with deep smooth black hair and pale skin , boasting a slender yet athletic physique suddenly appeared.

He had a carefree expression on his face,as a shadow armor, formed from the enhancement of all his shadow creatures pulsed around him, completely covering his figure in obsidian, from head to toe.

The acrid rain touched his figure ,yet his armor remained firm .

Several individuals equally located in the skies , ignored him, engaged in their own battles against one another.

The skies quaked from their exchanges as the atmosphere shook with the resplendent ,catastrophic exchanges of affinities .

The red sea bellow churned.

The very void shook from their exchanges.

Catastrophic, lethal attacks ensued.

Each one aimed at claiming lives.

After all,anyone you killed could grant you an extremely large amount of points.

" This lake should help me earn first place quickly.

According to Vengeful , there are several rank 5 beginner stage ascendant level diabolic beasts in it"

Just when Kailen was about to dive into the depths of the lake, several individuals surrounded him from all ends .

" Kailen Darkhaven " One of the individuals , a femine figure from the witch race spoke " Ranked 905. You have a large number of points that could help us secure higher rankings . Also you have a bounty on your head. Pretty much big fish don't you think guys?" She turned to look at her companions,including a treant , a werewolf and a centaur and several other humans ,numbering the hundreds.

"How about we kill him " The Dwarf,strangely tall suggested "If we kill him together ,the points will be accorded to us by the AI for the points allocations based on our contributions"

The others nodded in understanding as greedy expressions appeared on their faces.

They had all participated in the entrance exams ,knowing full well that dying was a possibility. But if they survived and claimed higher rankings ,their future would be prosperous.

Which of these geniuses had not been in life or death situations before.

Kailen stared at them and chuckled .

"Initially decided to mind my own business. But since you all presented yourselves as free points, sure"

His carefree and prideful response angered them.

The strongest amongst them were rank 5 beginner stage ascendant level lifeforms.

Their figures flickered, then they vanished in perfect synchrony ,all towards Kailen.

Some launched ice based attacks, others launched debuffs ,some threw torrential hammers packed with force.

Yet,Kailen remained hovering in the air ,his whole obsidian form blazing in blue flames(infinite Alchemy flames) and lightning.

Each attack landed on him, purely lethal and catastrophic ,packed with enough power to destroy mountains and regions boasting several kilometers.

Their attacks were relentless ,incessant-Kailen's form,no longer visible, completely shrouded in the overtones of their attacks.

They knew Kailen was strong. Which was why they went all out from the start.

Yet, the notification for killing him never appeared.

Finally, feeling something was amiss,they ceased .

" Pathetic " A cold voice resounded in their ears,confirming their fears. He was still alive, unharmed even .

And then it happened.

Kailen's form vanished ,his azure lightning and flame clad form moving at a speed too fast for them to process.

He held a head ,then crashed it.

Headless figure fell into the magma ocean depths.

He moved .

Too Quick .

Each strike,brutal.

Packed with lighting and flames.

Tearing limbs apart.

Crushing heads.

Slamming one into another and turning them into meat paste.

It wasn't like they did not want to escape.

It wasn't that they did not have artifacts that could trigger escape mechanisms.

Their opponent was too fast,too strong, too powerful .

They didn't have enough time to react before he descended upon them like a mad ,harbinger of death.

Kailen was unparelled. His strength had been boosted to rank 2 intermediate stage ascendant level thanks to the enhancement his shadow creatures in the shadow armored form provided him .

The onlookers in the vicinity fighting their own battles several distances away ceased-observing the chaos unfolding before them.

Quickly they vacated the current location ,afraid of drawing the ire of this madman slaughtering others like chickens.

Was this guy really just a rank 1 beginner stage ascendant level?

What kind of physical strength was this?

Even with a lightning based elemental physique and a special alchemy flame,was this was not too much?

Kailen oblivious to the commotion his actions had caused in the outside world and even amongst participants observing him from a distance , kept unleashing his carnage.

Finally...

He held the necks of the last two people,the witch and the dwarf who had suggested the murder attempts on him.

" Thank you for the free points "

He voiced coldly ,his form blazing in flames,lightning snaking through his obsidian form.

" No,please"

" Don't hurt us. ..we are-"

Flames and lighting blazed through their forms , putting them through unimaginable pain.

The infinite Alchemy flame ,with its special refinery abilities ,roasted them in and out like barbecues.

The lightning ,packed with elemental mirroring energy was agonizingly piercing, charring them until they turned into ashes,tethering into oblivion.

Without another word, blood soaked Kailen ,who looked like more terrifying at this moment than a vimodial , shot towards the volcano.

Meanwhile , the outside world...
