[Space League 5 games begin.]
Flash!
In a space where green light glows softly.
Seong Ji-han was standing on a huge leaf floating in the air.
And in front of him, some distance away.
"Hehe, you were successfully summoned."
The high priest who had been acting as elf director a little while ago was standing on another leaf and smiling at Seong Ji-han.
"Let the experiment begin."
Let her say that.
Jiiiing… … .
The green light that illuminated this space all gathered at the top of the leaves.
The first thing that shines is the Minister's side.
[Scan the summon target at the Constellation Laboratory.]
[The opponent is a member of the World Tree Alliance research team.]
[The player will be moved to a separate space.]
"Then take care of yourself, experiment. "I'm going to experiment on you and then execute you."
The high priest smiled, as if he had anticipated the result, waved his hand at Seong Ji-han, and disappeared.
Meanwhile, the system message was visible to all viewers, including Seong Ji-han.
People got angry when they saw this.
-Wow, are you really kidding me with this map? ㅡㅡ
-Shouldn't an unfair map like this be posted on Battle.net in the first place?
-So, after summoning the top ranked people, one of them leaves to join the research team haha haha
-What should I do, Jihan? ㅠㅠㅠㅠ You're an experiment… … .
Then the second scan starts.
Flash!
Light sparkles on Seong Ji-han's body.
[Scan the summon target at the Constellation Laboratory.]
[The opponent belongs to the lowest race, 'humanity.']
[The opponent is a 'constellation candidate', a target of intensive management on Battle.net. Experiments cannot be conducted under the authority of the Constellation Research Institute.]
[Travel to the lab is on hold… … .]
Seong Ji-han, who was determined to be a candidate for the Holy See in the scan, did not undergo the experiment.
=Ah. no… … .
=Candidate for the Constellation? Holy player. When did you become a candidate for the Holy See?
=If this is the case, does this mean we won't be subjected to experiments at the Constellation Research Institute?!
Commentators are excited to see this.
and.
Flash!
A screen appeared in front of Seong Ji-han, and the disappeared high priest appeared with a surprised expression on his face.
[What is it… … You are already a candidate for the Holy See. Is that even possible?]
"There is a way."
Seong Ji-han thought calmly.
'I didn't know that a candidate for the Constellation would be of use here.'
Candidate for the Holy See.
This qualification was obtained through the quest 'Win the Champions League' in the Celestial Cube.
After I actually got it, it was useless until now.
The only noticeable change was that I could enter the Battle.net community's 'official member bulletin board'.
'I wasn't able to go there because I was busy.'
Analyzing the modified roots, liberating Korean and American players who were brainwashed by Gilgamesh, etc.
Even after Seong Ji-han came out of the Tower of Babel, he was so busy that he couldn't even wake up.
So, I didn't feel anything special about the Holy See candidate, except that I thought, 'Ah, that's it.'
I never thought this qualification would be effective here.
"So, you can't experiment on me?"
[Pfft… … Experiments are not possible for those subject to intensive care. How did you call me here... … You're lucky. Ranker of humanity.]
The high priest was smiling as if he had won everything just a moment ago, but now he is biting his lip.
Suuuuu… … .
As the screen slowly faded away, she spoke one last time.
[This time, I have no choice but to take the victory.]
If you can't execute Seong Ji-han, are you willing to at least win 5 games?
'But what is the goal of this map?'
'Constellation Research Institute' map.
Here, only Seong Ji-han and the High Priest were scanned, and no specific mission objectives were found.
If we just assume that the High Priestess wins, will it end?
at that time.
[The game starts.]
[You are an experiment.]
[Escape from the Constellation Research Institute.]
A message appeared before his eyes.
[The other player is a member of the research team.]
[If the lab catches the test subject, the game ends with the opponent winning.]
Seong Ji-han must escape as a test subject.
The high priest is a member of the research team, and it is a 5-game match that ends when Seong Ji-han is captured.
However, the conditions of the game were overwhelmingly unfavorable to Seong Ji-han.
-No, it's good not to be tested, but aren't the rules too biased? lol
-If the high priest doesn't capture the shrine and the research institute captures it, it's over, right?
-Is this a sure sign of defeat?
-I guess I should consider myself lucky that I didn't get executed... … .
And then the game started like this.
Ssssssssssssssssshh… … .
The leaves supporting Seong Ji-han in the air became mushy, and his feet began to sink into them.
'I guess this is also determined to be from the lab.'
Seong Ji-han tried to lightly withdraw his foot.
Swish!
The trappings of the leaves were stronger than I thought.
I guess I have to use my strength to get out of this situation.
'I think this is also a world tree... … Let's try to absorb it.'
Honwon Shingong Clean Yuan God Skills
annihilation decision
Heavenly Tree God
Slurp!
A chain extending from Seong Ji-han's body.
It stuck into a leaf and instantly absorbed the life force contained within it.
Then the green leaves dried up in an instant, then turned into powder and disappeared.
'The amount of life energy is quite good.'
Seong Ji-han tied the chain of Cheonsu Kangshin inside his body, to eternity.
Then, the energy of life gradually built up inside.
Even though it wasn't enough to increase Eternal stats, the amount accumulated was quite significant.
Seong Ji-han tried to remove the chain at this point.
Clap, clap!
The chain of the heavenly river god is not satisfied with eating leaves.
It began to spread out in all directions of this space.
A chain running wild out of control.
The chains extended upward and downward, but many individuals concentrated their movement downward.
'Is there something over there?'
Seong Ji-han followed the chain to the bottom.
As we descended, the green light became fainter, and there was barely any sense of life in the atmosphere.
Originally, the chain of the Heavenly Beast God that absorbs life would not have extended this far.
And the group of chains that went to the ground like that.
Tuk. Tuk!
He was concentrating on one point.
and.
Jiiiing… … .
[What are you doing?!]
A screen appeared in front of Seong Ji-han, and a high priest with an urgent expression appeared in it.
"What are you doing? "It's a mission."
[That is no escape!]
"Oh, is that right?"
-Look at the long tail of the horse.
-I'm 100% planning on going in. That's it haha.
-ㅇㅇ The high priest is making such a fuss, of course I have to go in.
-No, but did you really think that if you talked like that, you wouldn't get in? Don't you want to go further?
-It's like a treasure trove haha.
From Seong Ji-han's tone of voice, viewers already guessed that he would enter.
And their predictions were immediately correct.
Fight!
The chain extending from Seong Ji-han's body tore off a piece of the floor.
A huge wooden door appeared.
"Oh, there's a door. "The enemy told me not to go in, so I guess I want to go in more?"
[…] … Don't be rash! No matter how much you are subject to intensive management, if you cross the line too hard, we will have cause to intervene with you!]
"Oh yeah?"
Sigh!
The chain went right through the wooden door.
"What kind of door do you have life in?"
Suuuuu… … .
And the power of the Heavenly Guardian God absorbed all the energy contained in the wooden door and opened it.
Good profit… … .
Then, a huge portal emerges from inside the door.
The dark green portal shimmered with an ominous light.
[Warning. If you enter the underground area, you are clearly crossing a line.]
"okay?"
[If you promise not to enter there, I will show you the way to the exit. We concede victory in 5 games. So never... … Please do not act rashly.]
=It opens the way?
=The high priest who says he will take even victory, his attitude changes 180 degrees!
=What on earth is in there that makes it do that?
=The safe choice here would be to accept that offer... … .
=I don't think that's the case with the famous players I know!
As the commentators say.
"Why did you place the entrance to such an important area here?"
[you… … .]
"Since you're coming out like that, I want to go in."
Swish!
Seong Ji-han ignored the minister's warning and went inside.
[no!!]
The high priest's screams echoed through the screen.
His appearance had already disappeared beyond the portal.
* * *
The world beyond the portal.
The place doesn't fit the name 'underground area'.
It was a vast space with a blue sky spreading above.
-This is an underground space?
-Is the sun floating?
- Didn't you escape through the wrong portal?
-So is victory confirmed? … Games 3, 4, and 5 all end in an instant haha.
People commented that they had escaped after seeing this scene.
Jiiiing… … !
Let Seong Ji-han come over the portal.
A cluster of lights came together in the air, and a huge giant of light appeared.
That was a being that Seong Ji-han had seen several times.
'Is it a great spirit?'
The great spirit that the elves summoned by bursting their hearts.
Inside that brilliant light, a piece of the elf's corpse was hidden.
=Great Spirit… … It appears to be a being summoned by elves during diamond promotion matches and league competition matches.
=He is strong, but he also defeated Seong Ji-han, who participated in the previous DIA promotion match. If he were a skilled player who had grown much more than then, he would be able to easily suppress that person.
Even after seeing the giant light giant, the commentators spoke calmly.
There was no way Seong Ji-han, now in the Master League, was struggling against the giant he had defeated during the Diamond promotion match.
They were able to look at the giant of light comfortably.
but.
Flash! Flash!
Light twinkles everywhere, as the giant of light continues to reveal itself.
=But, there are a lot of numbers... … .
=How long will this come out? … .
Tension began to creep in even as the commentators spoke.
The number of summoned great spirits is already 100, even if you just roughly count them.
The world of the underground area was already full of light.
and.
Jiiiing… … !
[Great Spirit! Capture him!]
A large screen appeared in the air, and a high priest with a distorted face gave an order to the Great Spirit.
OK.
Sigh.
The great spirits all turn their heads toward Seong Ji-han.
With over a hundred giants, the sky was now obscured by light and could not be seen.
'If I absorb all of that, will my eternity go up by 1?'
Even after seeing the Great Spirit, Seong Ji-han was thinking about raising his stats.
After all, I had already caught it during Platinum.
To me now, neither one hundred nor one thousand could be a threat.
'Let's just absorb it.'
Slurp… … .
The chain of the Heavenly Beast God slowly revealed itself from his body.
The interior of Seongjihan.
Even in his eternity, the chains were wrapped again.
To Seong Ji-han, who is preparing to raise Yeongwon to 3 in earnest.
[The energy of the World Tree… … .]
[Are you here, manager?]
Sigh.
One by one, the giants knelt before him.
Even before they bound Eternity, they tried to oppose Seong Ji-han.
As soon as the chain was wrapped, his attitude changed 180 degrees.
'The power of eternity… … Does he also have a management director?'
[The manager! What are you talking about! Great Spirit! He is the enemy! Kill me right now... … No, I'm arresting you!]
A high priest who is shocked by the change in the Great Spirit's attitude.
"Turn that thing off."
[All right.]
When the Great Spirit moved his hand at Seong Ji-han's command, the screen that had been floating in the air suddenly turned off.
The giant of light seemed to clearly recognize Seong Ji-han as his superior.
Seong Ji-han looked at that and calmly asked a question.
"What's in this underground area now?"
[One constellation that was recently transferred is imprisoned.]
"Constellations? who?"
[This is the Shadow Queen.]
"… … Shadow Queen? When did she get caught?"
Seong Ji-han's eyes widened in surprise at the Great Spirit's answer.
[what!? No, the queen? It's not. Obviously I... … I received a message from the Queen... … .]
What surprised me more than that.
It was Ariel that belonged to his arm.
