[Space League 5th match begins.]
Flash!
In a space glowing with a faint green light, Seong Jihan was standing on a huge leaf floating in the air.
And in front of him, at a bit of a distance,
Hoho, youve been summoned well.
The High elf Priest, who was acting as the elf coach a moment ago, was standing on another leaf and smiling at Seong Jihan.
Lets begin the experiment.
As she said that,
Zing
The green light illuminating this space gathered above the leaves all at once.
The first to shine was the High elf Priests side.
[The Constellation Laboratory scans the summoned target.]
[The opponent belongs to the World Tree Alliance research team.]
[The player will be moved to a separate space.]
Then good luck, test subject. I will experiment on you and execute you.
The High elf Priest smiled as if she had expected the result and waved her hand at Seong Jihan before disappearing.
Meanwhile, since the system message could be seen by Seong Jihan as well as the viewers, people saw this and became furious.
-Wow, are you kidding with the map?
-Such an unfair map shouldnt be uploaded to BattleNet in the first place, right?
-So they summoned the No. 1 rankers and one of them gets excluded as a researcher, haha, damn it.
-What should we do, Calling Seong Jihan a test subject
And then the second scan began.
Flash!
Light flickered on Seong Jihans body.
[The Constellation Laboratory scans the summoned target.]
[The opponent belongs to the lowest-ranked race, Humanity.]
[The opponent is a Constellation Candidate, a focus management target of BattleNet. Experiments cannot be conducted with the authority of the Constellation Laboratory.]
[Transfer to the laboratory is put on hold]
Seong Jihan, who was judged as a constellation candidate in the scan, did not undergo the experiment.
=Ah. No
=Constellation candidate? Player Seong Jihan. When did he become a constellation candidate?
=Then does this mean he wont be experimented on by the Constellation Laboratory?!
The commentators were excited to see this.
And then,
Flash!
A screen appeared in front of Seong Jihans eyes and the disappeared High elf Priest revealed her face with a surprised expression.
[What Youre already a constellation candidate. Is that even possible?]
Theres a way for everything.
Seong Jihan replied nonchalantly and thought,
I didnt know being a constellation candidate would be useful here.
Constellation candidate.
This qualification obtained through the quest Win the Champions League in the Celestial Cube had been useless after obtaining it until now.
The only noticeable change was being able to enter the Official Member Board of the BattleNet community.
I was too busy to go there.
Analyzing the modified root, liberating the Korean and American players brainwashed by Gilgamesh, and so on.
Seong Jihan had been busy non-stop even after coming out of the Tower of Babel.
So regarding being a constellation candidate, he only thought Ah, I became one and couldnt feel any special points, but who knew this qualification would be effective here?
So, you cant experiment on me?
[Kuk Experiments are impossible on focus management targets. How did I summon you here You were lucky, Humanitys ranker.]
The High elf Priest, who was smiling as if she had won just a moment ago, was now biting her lip.
Swoosh
As the screen slowly disappeared, she said one last thing.
[This time, I have no choice but to just take the victory.]
If she cant execute Seong Jihan, shell at least take the 5th match victory, is that it?
But whats the map objective here?
The Constellation Laboratory map.
It only scanned Seong Jihan and the High elf Priest here, and there was no mission objective or anything.
If the High elf Priest just takes the victory like this, does it end?
At that moment,
[The game begins.]
[You are a test subject.]
[Escape from the Constellation Laboratory.]
A message appeared in front of his eyes.
[The opposing player belongs to the laboratory.]
[If the test subject is caught by the laboratory, the game ends with the opponents victory.]
Seong Jihan had to escape as a test subject.
The High elf Priest belonged to the research team, and if she caught Seong Jihan, the 5th match would end.
However, the game conditions were overwhelmingly unfavorable to Seong Jihans side.
-No, its good that hes not being experimented on, but isnt the rule too biased?
-If the High Priest doesnt catch Seong Jihan and the laboratory catches him, will it end?
-Is this a confirmed loss?
-We should consider it fortunate that Seong Jihan wont be executed
And as the game started like this,
Swoosh
The leaf supporting Seong Jihan in the air became mushy and his feet began to sink into it.
This must be judged as the laboratorys property too.
Seong Jihan tried to lightly pull out his feet, but,
Whoosh!
The leafs restraint was stronger than expected.
It was a situation where he had to use force to come out.
This seems to be of the World Tree line too Should I try absorbing it?
Fundamental Divine Arts, Annihilation Gods Secret Heavenly Tree Descending Spirit
Swish!
Chains extended from Seong Jihans body.
They stabbed into the leaf and quickly absorbed the life force contained within it.
Then, the green leaf withered in an instant and soon turned to powder and disappeared.
The amount of life force is quite good.
Seong Jihan connected the chains of Heavenly Tree Descending Spirit to Eternity inside his body.
Then, the life force accumulated neatly inside it.
Although it wasnt enough to raise the Eternity stat, the accumulated amount was quite considerable.
Seong Jihan tried to pull out the chains at this point, but,
Clank! Clank!
The chains of Heavenly Tree Descending Spirit were not satisfied with just devouring the leaf. They began to extend in all directions of this space. The chains went out of control and rampaged.
The chains extended up and down, but many of them moved intensively downward.
Is there something down there?
Seong Jihan followed the chains downward.
The lower he went, the fainter the green light became, and the life force in the atmosphere was hardly felt.
Originally, the chains of Heavenly Tree Descending Spirit that absorb life wouldnt even extend this way.
And the group of chains going towards the ground like that,
Thud. Thud!
They were intensively tapping on a single point.
And then,
Zing
[What are you doing?!]
A screen popped up in front of Seong Jihans eyes, and the High elf Priest appeared with an urgent expression.
What do you mean what am I doing? The mission.
[Thats not the escape route!]
Ah, is that so?
-Look at him dragging out the end of his words.
-Thats 100 percent the escape route, haha.
-Yeah, when the High elf Priest is making such a fuss, of course he has to go in.
-No, but did she really think he wouldnt go in if she said that? Doesnt it make him want to go in more?
-For real, it looks like a treasure vault, haha.
The viewers guessed from Seong Jihans tone that he would definitely enter, and their prediction was immediately proven right.
Crack!
As the chains extending from Seong Jihans body tore off a point on the floor, a huge wooden door was revealed.
Oh, a door appeared. When the enemy tells me not to go in, it makes me want to go in more, you know?
[Dont act recklessly! No matter how much of a focus management target you are, if you cross the line too much, we will also have a justification to intervene with you!]
Ah, is that so?
Poof!
The chains pierced right through the wooden door.
Why do you guys have life force even in doors?
Swoosh
And the power of Heavenly Tree Descending Spirit completely absorbed the force the wooden door possessed and opened it.
Creak
Then, a huge portal came out from inside the door.
The dark green portal was rippling with an ominous light.
[I warn you. If you enter the underground area, you are clearly crossing the line.]
Yeah?
[If you promise not to enter there, I will tell you the way to the escape route. Ill even concede the 5th match victory. So absolutely dont act recklessly.]
=Shes opening the way?
=The High elf Priest, who was going to take the victory, has her attitude turned 180 degrees!
=What on earth is inside there that shes acting like this?
=The safe choice here would be to accept that proposal, but
=The player Seong Jihan I know doesnt seem like he would do that!
As the commentators said,
Why did you put the entrance to such an important area here?
[You]
When you act like that, it makes me want to go in.
Whoosh!
Seong Jihan ignored the High Priests warning and went inside.
[No!!]
The High elf Priests scream echoed through the screen, but,
his figure had already disappeared beyond the portal.
* * *
The world beyond the portal.
Contrary to the name underground area,
it was an incomparably vast space with a blue sky spread above.
-This is the underground space?
-The sun is up?
-Did he accidentally enter the portal and escape to the outside?
-Then is it a confirmed victory The 3rd, 4th, and 5th matches all ended in an instant, haha.
People saw this scene and commented that he might have escaped, but,
Zing!
As Seong Jihan crossed the portal, light gathered in the air and a huge light golem appeared.
It was a being Seong Jihan had seen a few times.
Is it a Great Golem?
The Great Golem that the elves summoned by blowing up their hearts.
Inside that brilliant light, the corpse pieces of elves were hidden.
=Great Golem Its the being the elves summoned during the Diamond Promotion Match and the League Competition Match.
=Its strong, but player Seong Jihan, who participated in the previous Diamond Promotion Match, has also subdued it. For player Seong Jihan, who has grown much more than then, subduing that being should be easy.
Even after seeing the huge light golem, the commentators spoke calmly.
Since Seong Jihan, who had already subdued the golem in the Diamond Promotion Match, wouldnt struggle against it now that he had reached the Master League.
They could comfortably look at the light golem.
However,
Flash! Flash!
As light flickered from all directions and light golems continued to appear,
=But the number is quite large
=When will they stop coming out
Tension began to build in the commentators words as well.
The number of Great Golems summoned, even roughly counted, had already reached 100.
The world of the underground area was already filled with light.
And then,
Zing!
[Great Golems! Restrain him!]
A screen popped up largely in the air, and the High elf Priest, whose face was all distorted, ordered the Great Golems.
Then,
Swoosh!
The Great Golems all turned their heads towards Seong Jihan at once.
With over a hundred golems doing so, the sky was now obscured by light,
If I absorb all of that, will Eternity rise by 1?
Seong Jihan was thinking about raising his stats even after seeing the Great Golems.
Since he had caught them in Platinum anyway, they couldnt be a threat to him now, whether their number was a hundred or a thousand.
Lets try absorbing first.
Slither
The chains of Heavenly Tree Descending Spirit slowly revealed themselves from his body.
Inside Seong Jihan, the chains wrapped around his Eternity again.
As Seong Jihan was preparing to raise Eternity to 3 in earnest like that,
[The force of the World Tree]
[You have come, Head Manager.]
Swoosh.
The golems knelt down one by one in front of him.
They, who were trying to be hostile to Seong Jihan before binding Eternity, had their attitude changed 180 degrees as soon as the chains wrapped around.
The power of Eternity Does the Head Manager also possess it?
[Head Manager! What are you talking about! Great Golems! That person is an enemy! Kill him right No, restrain him!]
The High elf Priest was going berserk at the change in the Great golems attitude.
Turn that off.
[Understood.]
But when the Great Golem moved its hand at Seong Jihans command, the screen that had popped up in the air turned off with a click.
The light golem seemed to clearly recognize Seong Jihan as a superior.
Seong Jihan looked at that and asked nonchalantly,
Whats in this underground area now?
[A constellation that was recently transferred is imprisoned here.]
Constellation? Who?
[The Shadow Queen.]
The Shadow Queen? When was she caught?
Seong Jihan was surprised and widened his eyes at the Great Golems answer, but,
[What!? No, the Queen? No way. Im sure I received a message from the Queen]
The one who was even more surprised was Ariel, who was bound to his arm.
