ASC Absolute Soul Core
This document contains information about the CABAL Online World.
1. Overview
The existence of the Absolute Soul Core is unknown. No one except those who have obtained the ASC can know what it looks like, whether it has a physical form, or how to use it. According to one theory, the ASC is absorbed into the genes of qualified individuals and passed down through generations.
The person known to have possessed the Absolute Soul Core until recently was the ‘Lord of Destruction’, who brought the Great Destruction during the Honorable Age.
2. Abilities
It is said that obtaining it grants tremendous power and knowledge, as well as records concerning the rise and fall of various civilizations in the past. It is also said to grant the legacies of civilizations that disappeared in the past and civilizations isolated in subspaces, along with the power to control them.
3. Eligibility for Use
Special qualifications are required to use the Absolute Soul Core, but even among those recognized as qualified, there are different ranks, and the abilities available for use vary by rank. It is also said that failing to use the ASC incurs a tremendous cost. Records remain of unqualified people who attempted to use the Core but, unable to withstand its tremendous repulsive force, suffered the collapse of their bodies and selves. It is also said that illegally accessing the Absolute Soul Core will[1], and that accessing it incurs a cost, though the details are unknown.
4. Cost of Use
The user becomes subordinate to the ASC and becomes part of its power.
For example, the six clans of Nevareth are all remnants of races that were destroyed while using the ASC.
5. The Seven Shattered Pieces of ASC
During the Great Destruction period, the ASC was shattered into seven pieces and was not restored even after the 4th Civilization emerged and a thousand years had passed. Six pieces went to the Masters of the respective Monster Clans, while the remaining and strongest seventh piece was passed on to Faust’s clone, Patren.
However, Patren was unable to use his power properly because he failed to awaken fully. He can only use some of the abilities that emerge naturally, without even realizing it. Without knowing it himself, Patren eventually set out on a journey to gather the remaining six.
When Patren underwent the first stage of awakening, Patren used only minimal abilities. Because of this, the six Clans recognized only the existence of the Seventh Piece and began searching for it while uncertain of its nature.
When Patren underwent the second stage of awakening, Patren grew stronger and began to be actively pursued by the six Clans. The six Clans tried to stop Patren before the third stage of awakening because if the owner of the ASC fully awakened, they would once again become slaves to the ASC.
When Patren fully awakened during the third stage, Patren recovered memories of the past and awakened as the Lord of Destruction. Patren destroyed the ASC Controller to escape from Prometheus.
6. Trivia
Unlike the 1st Civilization and the 2nd Civilization, which began when "he" personally delivered the ASC, the beginning of the 3rd Civilization was unrelated to the ASC. The 3rd Civilization developed based on knowledge passed down by the descendants of the 1st Civilization and the 2nd Civilization. These were the shadow rulers of the Honorable Age and those who had searched for the ASC for a long time (CRF and GoR).
The descendants wanted the development of the 3rd Civilization to reach a certain level, leading either to successful advancement toward a perfect world or to destruction. They formed Prometheus with the goal of successfully resurrecting the vessel without harming one another and realizing a perfect world through it.
