After a while, the 75 Star Beasts had finished consuming their materials and turned into cocoons once again. But this time there were only 10 Star Beasts showing changes in their cocoons.
And it wasn't long before these 10 Star Beasts finished their metamorphosis and gave a roar. Astrum waited for another cocoon to change from the roar, but after they finished roaring there was no change in the other cocoons.
"Have they never reached level 30 in their form before?" he muttered.
"It seems so since this is their final form of metamorphosis, let's leave them for time being."
Thea replied after hear Astrum's muttering.
There were currently three Star beasts from the Star beast pool that came forward and stood in front of Astrum. Astrum saw them and realized that these three Star Beasts belonged to the previous Goren.
The Star Beast Bear had now completely transformed, its body had grown to 8 meters. His horns grew and his forehead was covered with a kind of hard, bone-like layer. His shoulders and arms also had some sort of hard layer with a few spikes.
Another Star Beast was shaped like a bull with a spiked back and another was shaped like a horse with six legs.
Astrum guessed that these two Star Beasts also had their memories opened when they saw them gathered together.
"Thea, can the memory of the star beasts open naturally?"
"Some have happened, but very rarely," Thea answered curtly.
The three Star Beasts lowered their heads and knelt towards Astrum, the bear Star Beast at the very front opening its arms towards Astrum.
Astrum responded by spontaneously placing his hand on top of the Star Beast's. Suddenly the three Star Beast bodies emitted light from their bodies and entered Astrum's hands. The stream of light traveled from the palm to the upper right arm.
Their bodies were all enveloped in light and gave off violent energy fluctuations. The ground around them shook and several rocks rose into the air.
Stella and Sidius who were in a faraway location sensed this fluctuation and realized that this was the location of Astrum training Star Beasts. They rushed to the location.
Within the dome of light, the three streams of light swirled around Astrum's upper right arm and then stopped forming a symbol. The symbol resembled the form of the three Star Beasts.
Astrum felt something strange inside of him, the energy branch in his arm channeling energy to the energy center. His eyes suddenly shone brightly as if he had attained enlightenment.
After a while, he opened his eyes, saw on his arm there was a mark with the image of 3 beasts. He realized that this was the Star Mark or Insignia.
This is the first Insignia he got!
Currently, Stella and Sidius have arrived at the location and see Astrum with John, Ave, and Thea.
"Astrum, you got an Insignia!" Sidius was the first to say after seeing the mark on Astrum's arm.
"Not just an Insignia, but three insignia!" Thea said while looking at Astrum dumbfounded.
After a while, the situation subsided and the light dimmed and disappeared. Astrum was still standing with the three Star Beasts.
"Astrum, Congratulations on getting Insignia. Not one but three! You are already a Collector!" Thea spoke excitedly as a token of appreciation for Astrum.
"Haven't we tried this before and it didn't work?" Stella was curious to notice this, she remembered that in the past they had tried to get the Star Mark from this Star Beast.
Astrum is also confused at this time, he remembers that he tried to get the Star mark from this Star beast and didn't succeed. The previous events of the star mark that he got directly returned to the Star Beast.
"This is no ordinary Insignia, pay attention to their level." Thea suddenly said.
Sidus and Stella just realized that the Star Beast's level was at level 30 while Astrum was only at level 24. This was a very rare event because generally, Star Beasts chose insignia bearers who were above their level.
Thea approached Astrum and said: "Astrum, do you know the meaning of this event?"
Astrum looked at Insignia in his arms and shook his head.
"You have complete dominance over this Star Beast," Thea said very excitedly.
"Full domination?"
"The relationship between Star Beasts and Insignias is like a contract, generally there are three types of contracts."
Thea began to explain the concept of Insignias contracts, in general, there are three types of contracts.
The most common contract is eligibility, if Insignias is deemed worthy then he will get the star mark and gain the power of a Star Beast. When the contract was made they had to evenly distribute the level income with the Star Beasts they owned.
The second contact is where the Star Beast's level is higher than Insignias, under these conditions Insignias must give most of their level income to Star Beasts. This contract is known as the offering contract.
The third type of contract was the rarest contract, one that the Star Beasts surrendered entirely to Insignias. Insignias have full power to regulate the distribution of level income and even Isginias can control the Star Beasts completely and it's called Full Domination.
"Thea, how did you know this was a full Domination contract? Isn't their level above mine which means it's an offering contract?" Astrum asked curiously.
"Watch the Insignia on your arm"
Astrum looked at the Star marks on his arm once more but found no difference.
"The insignia you got is in full form!" Thea noticed that Astrum didn't notice the difference in the Insignia.
"If it's a general contract or an offering contract, you'll only get a Part of the full form. What you have now is a complete form like the form of a Insignia."
Astrum just realized Thea's statement, he noticed that his insignia has full form of the beast imprinted. He remembered that Goren had only gotten only head of the beast imprinted.
"Since this is your first time getting Insignia, you try to enter your consciousness to see your Star Diagram?" Sidius suddenly came forward and said. He is also very excited to see Astrum get Insignia.
Astrum didn't ask again about the Star Diagram even though he didn't understand what it meant. He just immediately tried to get into his consciousness.
In his consciousness that is like a green meadow. This was all thanks to the glyphs he had learned from Thea. Apparently, the glyphs he had studied persisted in his consciousness.
He saw in the middle there was a pillar and on it was a stone plate. Approaching the plate he could see in the center there were round pieces like Othello pieces. There are some 3 lines from the center of the pieces.
He noticed that the three branches that were formed also contained round pieces, but these round pieces had different symbols. The first round pieces have symbols such as glyphs, the second round pieces have tribal symbols such as marks on his chests, and the third round pieces symbol is shaped like a star.
He touched the round pieces with glyph symbols and 4 more branches appeared from there. The first branch leads to a Cyan-colored glyph, the second Gold, the third Green, and the fourth is white.
He realized that these were probably various glyphs he had learned from Stella, Sidius, and Thea. While the white glyphs are the result of learning when making new glyphs, such as the Gauntlet and Boots Glyph that he often uses.
Touching the round pieces with tribal shapes, he saw them branching into six. One of the branches was already lit up with the glyph he had gotten from Beastros, while the other five were still dark.
He became curious "Why are there six? Aren't there only five kinds of Beast Baptism?" He decided to ask Thea about this later.
Touch the round pieces with the star symbol and three branches appear. The three branches revealed the form of the three Star Beasts that had given him the Insignia.
Then he came out of his consciousness room full of questions in himself. He opened his eyes again and saw his parents, Stella, Sidius, and Thea in front of him.
"You must have noticed that there are 3 branches of Star beast right?" Thea asked first.
Astrum just nodded and let Thea continue.
"Three links means your connection to those three-star beasts. Since this is a full domination contract, you can completely control them."
"Try activating one of those star beast branches." Thea gave instructions.
Astrum re-entered his consciousness space and touched the pieces that had symbols like Star Beast bears.
When he touched the pieces, he felt his consciousness split in two. He saw it from his own point of view and one from the point of view of the bear Star Beast.
He wanted to ask Thea, but every word he uttered became the roar of the Star beast. Shocked and confused, he let go of the connection from the Star Beast and returned to himself.
