[Humanity National Team. 1st place in the league, defeating World Tree Elf 200!]
[I won the game, but the content of the game was disappointing. Except for Seong Ji-han, there is no player who can oppose the World Tree Elf.]
[Out of the 20 teams in the Bronze League, there are a total of 5 World Tree Elves? Experts select two undisclosed teams among the top teams as World Tree Elf candidates.]
[The Elven High Priest's proposal was revealed to be a fraud. Nevertheless, some expressed regret, saying that they would not have gotten a few more wins.]
1st place in the league, a match against World Tree Elf 200.
Although the game ended with humanity's victory.
-Is there really 5 teams of elves?
-Oh, I'm so sick of it... … .
-But from what I heard the High Priestess say, it seems like we're going to go to the sacred Philban from now on. Can we win then?
-I don't think it will ever happen; They lost on purpose for their 2nd win, so if they had achieved it through some other skill, they would have missed it.
-ㄹㅇㅋ No, it has better regenerative power than a cockroach, so how can it win?
The joy of victory was short-lived.
From the next game onwards, concerns grew about how to defeat the World Tree Elves.
-Should I have sacrificed the Shadow Queen? … .
-└└ The high priest who was the subject of the contract was planning to commit suicide haha.
-But should I wash my mouth right away? Wouldn't it have been nice to just get a few wins and hand it over?
-How can you trust elves?
Even if you get two wins against the elves, you can't help but be worried because they will now come out in serious mode.
Because of the scale of the World Tree Elves, who even imprisoned the Constellations in the laboratory, it was an uncomfortable situation even after winning.
When people are worried about the World Tree Alliance even after victory.
'It's a constellation store.'
Seong Ji-han, who returned home, was opening a newly appeared constellation store.
[Constellation Store – LV.1]
Constellation Store Upgrade – 50000P
Constellation trait 'Reign' unlocked – 10000P
Constellation characteristic 'Solo' unlocked – 10000P
Constellation Attribute Enhancement LV.1 – 10000P
Sponsorship Slot Expansion LV.1 – 1000P
Create special sponsorship item – 500P
'Items that directly strengthen me are not clearly revealed.'
The achievement shop has disappeared and a new constellation shop has appeared.
The items sold there themselves strengthen the constellation characteristics.
It didn't feel like it was strengthening individual players.
'The constellation reputation I currently have is 23122... … .'
In addition to the 10100 points earned this time.
The existing achievement points were exchanged for constellation reputation, and the reputation value was quite high.
At this level, it was possible to purchase all the items currently being sold.
'Is it possible to have constellation characteristics even though it is not a constellation?'
The current Seong Ji-han is a candidate for the Holy See.
Even if I purchased a constellation trait, I wondered if it would be of any use if I could use it during a constellation.
'Still, I still have points, so I guess I'll give it a try.'
A constellation available only at level 777.
Since there was still a long way to go until then, Seong Ji-han decided to use the points instead of making fun of them.
The first thing to use is the characteristics Dominion and Sovereignty.
Seong Ji-han was wondering what to choose.
"Queen, I have something to ask."
[What's going on?]
I decided to ask the Constellation Shadow Queen, who was resting on my arm, directly.
"Do you know about the characteristics of the constellation, dominance and domination?"
[Oh, is it already becoming a constellation?]
"no. There's still a long way to go to reach that level. "I just want to know about its characteristics."
[Well, if you are a candidate for the Holy See, you should prepare in advance. Dominion and domination. These two characteristics are choices that must be made when becoming a Constellation. I had the reigning trait.]
The Shadow Queen informed Seong Ji-han about the characteristics of the constellations.
[Reign is literally a constellation of monarchs who reign over servants. As a being representing a race, the rise and fall of the constellation that has chosen to rule also depends on the rise and fall of the race.]
Trait 'reign'.
The constellation that chose this became a king-like position within the tribe to which it belonged.
The stronger a race becomes, the more its effects are shared.
The bonuses the constellations receive from sponsored players also have a + effect for those with the reigning trait.
"reign… … "It's literally a trait fit for a ruler."
[okay. Among the constellations, there was an opinion from someone who was good at calculations. It is advantageous to have up to 5 people who rule within a race. The ability that a member of a tribe gives to the ruler is that great. However, if there are more than 5 people or the race begins to perish, the constellation characteristics become meaningless... … okay. Just like me.]
"Do you have no bonus?"
[okay… … Except for Ariel, shadow elf survivors are extremely rare.]
"Aren't the shadow elves themselves constantly being born?"
World tree elves that all look the same as if they were printed in a factory.
Among them, all those that do not look alike are discarded.
Among the elves that disappeared, the ones born from the gathering of vengeful spirits were the shadow elves.
As long as elves continued to produce themselves, shadow elves had to be born in proportion.
[Shadow elves, derived from World Tree elves, will continue to be born in various parts of the universe. However, in order for me to rule, I must bring them to my planet.]
"Aha, the effect doesn't work if the planets are different."
[Yes. Instead, players on other planets can enjoy the same effects through constellation sponsorship. However, this costs more money for the constellation to invest than ruling over a race on the same planet. After the dominion constellations have enjoyed the dominion effect on the same race, they turn their attention to the outside world.]
"okay? In the end, the number one priority is our own people on the same planet."
[Yes.]
The Shadow Queen is well-versed in information, perhaps because she is from a constellation.
Seong Ji-han nodded and asked her about the following characteristics.
"Then what about solitude?"
[Soloism is a characteristic that gives up the effect of dominion and instead becomes strong on one's own. Among the constellations in the universe, it is chosen by those who want to live with a free spirit without being bound by a race. Oh, even if there are more than 5 constellations with the dominion trait among the same race, it goes alone.]
"Is it just me becoming powerful? "It's simple."
[okay. The bonus effect given to a solo constellation is very strong at first, but as time goes by, it faces limitations in terms of growth compared to a reigning constellation. Of course, it is an advantage to not be tied to race... … Still, in order to aim for the best, it is a characteristic that has limitations.]
"Aren't you giving a harsh assessment of solitude because you are the ruler?"
[no. Check out the official member bulletin board of the Battle.net community. The cries of independent people are rampant.]
Jihan Seong heard those words and immediately opened the Battle.net community.
An official member bulletin board that only those who are candidates for the Holy See can enter.
When I got there, there was a big notice at the top of the bulletin board dealing with this.
[To candidates for the Holy See who are concerned about their characteristics]
If there are less than 5 rulers on the same planet, select a ruler.
Unless you abandon your compatriots and wander the universe, you are unconditionally the ruler.
Even if you like solo play or don't care about it, it reigns supreme.
If you are a player who has reached the constellation level, you will want to reach the top position, but if you choose Solo, you will only shine in the beginning and have no means to grow later.
If you don't want to regret, become the ruler.
└ Please post a notice earlier… … He used to be a soloist, but his people were destroyed and he ended up as a space mercenary.
└ Why can't there be more than 5 rulers? Still, isn't rule better than solitude?
└ If there are more than 5 people, all the pie you could eat has already been taken away, so you have to take care of your abilities as a solo player.
└ If you can kill the existing ruling constellation, do it. But you'll get it on haha
└ And if he becomes the 6th ruler, will the 5 reigning constellations join together to punish him for the 6th time? So, you should quietly become an independent person.
└ Where does a soloist get more reputation points? There's no way to get anything.
└ That's why reign is good. As long as your race survives on Battle.net, you will automatically earn reputation points.
Below the notice, there were many replies containing vivid experiences of the constellations.
Most of them say that solitude is bad and that rule is best.
Seong Ji-han watched this all the while and asked the Shadow Queen.
"Can't I choose both?"
[both? The characteristics selected at the beginning require constellation fame all the way to level 10. Only after reaching 10 can you invest fame in other characteristics.]
"If you choose one, you just keep going. Still, there won't be any constellations that have reached level 10, right?"
[It has to exist. We call such constellations 'great constellations.']
Great constellation.
Seong Ji-han's eyes widened at those words.
"Great Constellation… … "Do you have to be Dragon Lord level to have attribute level 10?"
[okay. The level that commands the dragons of the universe must be reign level 10.]
"Is there no one who became a great constellation through solitude?"
[maybe… … 'Wandering Martial God' also shows great constellation-level power, so there are rumors that he is level 10 alone, but this has not been confirmed.]
"hmm… … ."
Was the Wandering Martial God at the level of the Great Constellation?
Seong Ji-han once again realized how powerful his enemy was.
[If the constellations were able to unlock all the characteristics as you said, both Dominion and Sovereignty would have been unlocked at LV.1 each in the beginning. The initial bonus of 'Solo' is quite good.]
"okay?"
[Uh, after that, I'll take the ruler route.]
Seong Ji-han looked through the posts on the official member bulletin board and collected information about the characteristics of dominance and domination.
Dominion and domination are basic knowledge to the constellations.
There was a lot of analysis data left about the bonuses they gave.
'Up to LV.3, the ability + to dominate is good, and after that, unless the race is half-baked, dominance is superior... … .'
Meanwhile, Seong Ji-han also searched for constellation stores.
I couldn't find any information related to Seong Ji-han's constellation store.
Even if you search for articles from a thousand years ago, you won't find them.
'Like the achievement store, am I the only one who has this...? … .'
Seong Ji-han thought so and decided not to tell the Shadow Queen about this.
instead.
'If we can open both, we should definitely open them. If I am the only one in the store, this is a benefit that only I can enjoy.'
The reign of the long-lasting plastic type and the independent presence that can be used immediately.
If these two characteristics are managed appropriately, the synergy effect appears to be very large.
'The only thing that bothers me is whether I will be disqualified from being a candidate for the Holy See when I open the characteristics... … .'
At first, Seong Ji-han thought he would spend the points rather than hoard them.
The more I learned about its characteristics, the more I began to question whether I would be able to maintain my qualifications as a Holy See candidate if I unlocked it.
'Now that I'm in the mid-300s, it's too early to become a Constellation. There must be more candidates for the Holy See.'
Candidates for the Holy See who are subject to special management by Battle.net.
Although he had not felt much utility until now, he was able to put this qualification to good use for the first time on the Constellation Research Institute map.
In addition, you cannot be subject to the checks of a military god at the level of the Great Constellation when you are a candidate for the Constellation.
This qualification had to be maintained for a while.
'hmm… … 'It's hard to choose carelessly because of this.'
Even if you unlock the characteristics, you will benefit greatly if you do not become a candidate for the Constellation.
If a candidate is disqualified, from then on he will be checked by a wandering military god.
He may have fallen asleep now, but it doesn't mean he'll be around forever.
Adventure or stability?
Seong Ji-han looked at the options in front of him and began to think about them.
[Still worried about characteristics? It reigns unconditionally. Even though humanity is a weak race, it has a population of 7 billion? Then it will be effective.]
"I'm done worrying about that."
[okay?]
When Seong Ji-han was answering the Shadow Queen's question.
[The inventory opens.]
Flash!
Jihan Seong's inventory opened by itself, and a Celestial Cube popped out from it.
Then.
[A quest suitable for the user will be granted.]
[Unlock the constellation characteristics 'Dominion' and 'Supremacy'.]
[Reward: Constellation characteristics ON/OFF]
[When you receive this reward, the Celestial Cube will be destroyed.]
Just like last time, a quest was given.
'… … What on earth is this?'
Continuing from last time, the Celestial Cube rewards with content related to constellations.
Jihan Seong looked at the cube that popped out of his inventory and calmed his expression coldly.
