In a space shrouded in darkness, strange patterns were drawn upon the floor, and above them lay a third eye.
There, Pythia stood, her divine eye activated.
[The race humanity has chosen the hidden bonus option, Star Chaser.]
That settles it.
She smiled, seeing her prophecy fulfilled.
The future where Seong Jihan is killed by the Phoenix Spear is now postponed.
Though Pythia couldnt directly observe Seong Jihans future, she had various indirect thods. By observing the surroundings, she could glean glimpses of others futures.
I took care of Longinus request and also paid off my debt to Seong Jihan. Two birds with one stone.
When Longinus, used as a spear by the Martial God, re-sealed himself in Tuseong to regain his power,
Before the sealing,
-Pythia. Can you see my future? I really dont want to live like this anymore. When will I disappear from this universe?
Longinus had inquired about his end.
-Give so of your blood, and Ill tell you.
-Here, Take it.
Pythia predicted his future in exchange for his blood.
-Your grave tomb is in most of the futures Ive seen. Theres a Phoenix Spear next to it.
-The Phoenix Spear that guy. Seems like he died too.
-But, when the Phoenix Spear wasnt there, your tomb wasnt either.
-Does that an I died?
-I dont know that far. I only speak of whats observable.
-Observing such a future is welcoming enough.
In most futures Pythia observed,
Longinus tomb was placed in Tuseong, and next to it, a Phoenix Spear identical to what Seong Jihan now wielded was planted.
She could infer from that.
Master In most futures, disposed of Seong Jihan before he could grow further.
The Martial God was cautious.
Even though he moved his star Tuseong, hunting Constellations rcilessly becoming the terror of the universe,
He avoided BattleNets regulations almost entirely throughout the process.
It was possible by scrutinizing and eliminating potential issues ticulously.
Im not sure what the master hopes to gain through Seong Jihan but hell be disposed of imdiately if seen even slightly as a threat.
And Pythia instinctively realized Seong Jihan was on the verge of being disposed of at the mont.
Truly, Seong Jihans life was not a critical matter to her, but
If he dies, therell be no one to wake Gilgash.
Pythia needed to awaken Gilgash to confirm the identity of the Martial God.
So, if Seong Jihan is to be disposed of by the Martial God right now, what should be done?
If I leave him as a target for the BattleNets central managent, hell beco untouchable for now.
Among the BattleNets central managent targets, the most representative case was the Constellation Candidate.
Once players beco Constellations, BattleNet abandons them to a world of survival of the fittest.
Yet for Constellation Candidates, there was at least so safety chanism.
-If Seong Jihan quickly becos a Constellation candidate, itll be difficult for the Martial god, also a target of the BattleNets managent, to dispose of him easily.
Pythia used all her knowledge to find the possibility for him to beco a Constellation Candidate.
And she successfully concluded this work at the mont the Martial God sat on the throne, absorbing energy.
Hehehe. Shall we now find the remnants of Brahma?
Now? What have you been doing until now?
Ugh Dongbang sak? What? Why are you here?
As Pythia humd a tune, Dongbang sak slowly revealed himself from the shadows.
Master requests the remnants of the Brahma to be captured.
Because of the remnants, he is sending you too? Its not that urgent, is it?
I thought so too
Swoosh!
Dongbang sak caressed his beard, his eyes sharpening.
The master, he could not absorb that red lighting.
Red lighting? So, you were sent because of that?
It seems so.
Why cant he absorb it? Is it that remarkable?
To Pythias question, Dongbang sak stopped stroking his beard and opened his palm.
Crackle!
Though not completely identical to Seong Jihans,
A red current combined with fire and thunder attributes fiercely rose from Dongbansaks hands.
Indeed, Dongbansak. Youve grasped it imdiately.
Not entirely. Its not exactly the sa. I havent mixed the power of the void. The core of that red lightning seems related to the void. This is rely superficial.
Is that so?
Yes. However, unlike , who shouldnt directly handle the void, the master doesnt have such constraints. Yet, he couldnt absorb it
Its strange for the master, who would grasp a Constellations power at first glance, to find this peculiar.
Right it is very peculiar.
Pythia thought of the essences of Constellations laid out in Tuseong and tilted her head.
Why is the Martial God unable to absorb only Seong Jihans power?
By the way, did you do anything to Seong Jihan?
What sudden nonsense are you on about?
Humanity suddenly chose a hidden bonus, Star Chaser Seong Jihan has picked the fastest route to becoming a Constellation Candidate.
I dont know what you an.
Dongbang sak smirked.
Be grateful the master was seated on the throne. Otherwise, he wouldve detected your rash action right away. Though for , Im actually pleased with your recklessness.
Pleased? You, as the Martial Gods most loyal devotee?
Dongbang saks eyes dimd sharply.
Loyal devotee I pay respect because he is the God of Nothingness. If he were rely replicating powers would there be more reason for my loyalty?
Hmm. Youre saying this to . it seems you have so doubts?
Its not a certainty yet. I need to watch a little longer.
Recalling the Crimson Divinity Art he imparted to Seong Jihan, Dongbang sak pondered.
The Martial God, obscured by the battle with the Thunder Gods and Brahma, likely hadnt seen Seong Jihans Crimson Divinity Art.
But if he did and still cant grasp it, suspicion will take a more solid form.
Act with caution from now on. Its ti to seek out the remnants of Brahma.
Got it~ You an the small Red Lion, crafted from the red lighting, right?
Yes.
Flash!
Light illuminated the patterns on the floor.
Hes run far off. Even remnants are still Thunder God, I suppose?
Found them already?
Roughly. Lets go.
Flash!
Pythia and Dongbang saks figures vanished, wrapped in bright white light.
* * *
[Did Seong Jihan already have a plan? The hidden option Star Chaser revealed right before his speech.]
[Star Chaser unanimously passed.]
[The efficiency of Star Chaser? For Bronze players, its ten tis a national bonus. Even the second rank gains a remarkable effect, doubling their scores.]
[Yet, 1st place Seong Jihan isnt affected. So experts express concern.]
Im back.
Returning to Sword Palace from New York, Seong Jihan faced Yoon Seah, who popped up watching the news.
Uncle, what about my future?
What are you talking about?
How did you precisely hit the hidden bonus option? The Premonition ability sounds too creepy.
Youll thrive, eating well and living well. Arent you the owner of Sword Palace?
Well, thats obvious. Whos my future husband?
Such trivial details dont appear in foresight.
Geez. You call that trivial? Thats too much.
Isnt it less trivial than the future of humanity?
Seong Jihans foresight ability made a critical contribution to maintaining humanitys rank.
Yoon Seah, pouting her lips, shifted topics.
But Uncle, this buff effect is too good. What if you lose the 1st place quickly? Especially for players like who play gas twice a day, well catch up soon.
Please catch up. Seah, did you survive the 1st match against the Dragons?
No. I was swept away by their breath.
Not just you, but all the rankers were swept away by the dragons. Now that Im the 1st rank, Ill be targeted for bans, so other players need to grow quickly and do their part. So please, Seah, dont worry and just grow steadily.
Ugh I got it.
Until now, humanity had been sucking up Seong Jihans honey. But now that he had beco the 1st rank, he couldnt benefit as before. Its certain that other races who tasted Seong Jihans power will ban the 1st rank.
But uncle. Cant you still play cards with the unknown ?? races since they dont know you? I dont think theyll ban the 1st place from the first match.
For now, thats correct.
Now? Oh Do you have another premonition?
Maybe.
Seong Jihan grinned and waved his hand to Yoon Seah.
First, Im off to level up.
Connecting to BattleNet straight away.
Seong Jihan spent an entire week gaming every day.
During that ti, he played normal BattleNet gas with players of Space 4.
-Is the survival map really that big? LOL.
-Itll take ages for normal players to get there.
-Still, Space 4 players cant beat Seong Jihan. Its just ridiculous, right?
Only a few selected players could enter Space 4 Area.
And those who had tead up against Seong Jihan before failing to suppress him had no chance in a regular ga.
[The hidden boss I thought the rumor that the real thing is so much stronger was false!]
[Why the hell is he in Space 4?!]
Even on the survival map.
[Hes coming]
[Gather around quickly, block him first!]
[Hmm? You guys are scared of such a little guy?]
[Disappointing. Those who aspire to be Constellations Oops!]
And on the invade map.
[Why does the opposing team keep racking up kills so quickly? Its unreasonable guarding against the sa enemy, isnt it?]
[At this rate, its not defending but rather invading to increase kill counts]
[Looks like that one is there.]
[That one? Ah The hidden boss?]
[Ive encountered him three tis already Wish hed just move up to Space 3 now.]
Even on the defense map.
Whatever map ca up, Seong Jihan easily subdued his opponents.
Though other players were remarkable in their own worlds,
They also failed to draw out The Crimson Divinity Art from Seong Jihan, who subdued them effortlessly.
-Ever since Jihan beca a Constellation Candidate, hes been playing gas more often. Its great, haha.
-He must firmly keep the 1st rank to beco a Constellation LOL
-But if Seong Jihan becos a Constellation, does humanity end up ruled by him?
-Hes already earning us tons of points, hopefully keeps ruling until the end of BattleNet
-The daily point acquisition is on a different level. Its because Seong Jihan plays every day.
-The gains from Star Chasers buff seems significant. Other players are leveling up incredibly fast too
Humanity, which had risen to 2nd place in the Space League.
After 10 days, it dropped to 4th place, but they were still satisfied seeing the increased daily point acquisition rate.
If before, the daily acquisition rate was in the lower tier, now its risen to the middle-lower tier.
-For the first match against the remaining 16 races, since they dont know Seong Jihan, wouldnt strategizing be difficult for them?
-Right. Not exchanging information within the sa league is advantageous for us.
-At first, I was like, Whats this?? but lol, it turned out to be a good thing.
Before the match, the Space Leagues policy doesnt even disclose the nas of the races.
Humanity, with the overwhelming player Jihan, greatly benefited from this policy.
They hoped this would continue.
However, when April 15th ca,
[For two weeks, the League Competition Planet Exploration will be held.]
[This competition allows participation on a guild basis.]
[The opponents in the competition will be matched primarily among races that have not encountered in the league.]
Another league competition involving all Space League races was announced,
The four races that had been ?? until now were suddenly revealed.
And among them, the one that caught the eye first was,
-No way
-The World Tree Elves. They are here again?
It was the World Tree Elves, the third race to be revealed in the league.
