ASC Absolute Soul Core

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 to the Honorable Age.

Abilities

It is said that obtaining it grants tremendous power and knowledge, as well as records of 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 those isolated in subspaces, along with the power to control them.

Usage Requirements

Using the Absolute Soul Core requires special qualifications, but even those whose qualifications are recognized are assigned a rank, and the abilities they can use differ by rank. It is also said that failing to use the ASC comes at a tremendous cost. Records remain of unqualified people who attempted to use the Core but were unable to withstand its tremendous repulsive force, causing their bodies and selves to collapse. In addition, illegally accessing the Absolute Soul Core, accessing it is said to come at a cost, but the details are unknown.

Cost of Use

Users become subordinate to the ASC and become part of its power. For example, the six clans of Nevareth are all remnants of races that met their downfall while using the ASC.

The Seven Fragmented ASC

During the Great Destruction period, the ASC was split into seven pieces and remained unrestored even after the 4th Civilization emerged and a thousand years had passed. Six pieces went to the Master of each Monster Clan, while the remaining and strongest seventh piece was passed down to Faust's clone, Patren.

However, Patren was unable to awaken properly and therefore could not use the power properly. Patren could only use some of the abilities that manifested naturally, without even knowing it. Unaware of it, Patren set out on a journey to collect the remaining six.

When Patren underwent the First Stage Awakening, Patren used only a minimum of his abilities. Because of this, the six clans recognized only the existence of the seventh piece and began searching for the seventh piece while remaining uncertain.

When he underwent the Second Stage Awakening, Patren's power grew stronger, and he came under serious pursuit by the six clans. The six clans tried to stop Patren before he could undergo the Third Stage Awakening. This was because if the owner of ASC fully awakened, they would once again be reduced to the status of slaves to ASC.

When Patren fully awakened during the Third Stage, he regained his memories of the past and awakened as the Lord of Destruction. Patren destroyed the ASC Controller to escape from Prometheus.

Trivia

Unlike the 1st Civilization and 2nd Civilization, which began when "he" personally delivered ASC, the beginning of the 3rd Civilization had nothing to do with ASC. The 3rd Civilization developed based on knowledge passed down from the descendants of the 1st Civilization and 2nd Civilization. These were the hidden rulers of the Honorable Age and the ones who had searched for ASC for a long time (CRF and GoR).

Those descendants wanted the development of the 3rd Civilization to reach a certain level and lead either to successful advancement toward a perfect world or to destruction. They founded Prometheus with the aim of successfully resurrecting the Vessel without harming one another and realizing a perfect world through it.

ASC Controller

Overview

The ASC Controller is a device developed to handle ASC's power beyond the user's qualifications. ASC evaluates the owner's qualifications, divides them into grades, and grants power accordingly. The ASC Controller is what is needed to bypass that evaluation.

Development

The creator of the ASC Controller was the last emperor of the 1st Civilization. Although the emperor possessed outstanding abilities, he was never satisfied and attempted to create a powerful weapon using ASC's forbidden knowledge. However, doing so required a grade higher than the one evaluated by ASC. To achieve this, the emperor used all of his abilities to create the ASC Controller.

The ASC Controller has the following two primary effects. It draws in an enormous amount of energy to indirectly overcome the qualifications required by ASC, and redirects the repulsive force caused by improper access toward the surrounding area.

However, to supply the energy required to operate the ASC Controller, it needed energy generated when the soul of an intelligent being was destroyed and annihilated, rather than merely from the death of a simple life-form. Many people consequently vanished in the experiments, but the emperor obtained the power he desired.

The Fall of the 1st Civilization

The direct cause of the fall of the 1st Civilization was the use of the ultimate weapon during the empire's civil war. At the end of the War, the emperor caused the ASC Controller to go out of control while using it beyond its maximum output. The emperor had no way to control it, so he forcibly placed it in subspace and sealed it off to minimize the aftermath of the rampage.

However, contrary to expectations, it was impossible to completely contain the rampage of the ASC Controller. The power of the rampaging ASC Controller tore through space, causing the continent to sink; as the price for misusing ASC, the life-forms within a certain radius of the imperial capital were cursed with immortality and forcibly subjugated to ASC, becoming the Undead Clans.

The ASC Controller was later discovered during the 3rd Civilization era, the Honorable Age, and came into Faust's possession.

Discovered in the 3rd Civilization

At the time, the 3rd Civilization had almost no information about the 1st Civilization or the 2nd Civilization. The only remnants were legends of supernatural abilities. Prometheus led Faust to study this subject. Highly curious, Faust received their support and researched the ruins of the 1st Civilization.

In the process, Faust obtained records confirming that the 1st Civilization had truly existed, as well as records of its legacy and downfall. The dangers of ASC were immediately classified as top secret, and only Faust and Prometheus learned of them.

Shocked to learn that ASC and the ultimate weapon that used it had been involved in the civilization's downfall, Faust concealed the means of accessing the ASC Controller even from Prometheus, who had supported his research.

Faust tried to destroy the ASC Controller but could not, so he sealed it where it had originally been. However, during the Great Destruction, he had no choice but to retrieve the ASC Controller to seal himself away. The ASC Controller was sealed in subspace together with Faust.

Until that incident occurred a thousand years later.

A thousand years later

Prometheus also suffered considerable damage during the Great Destruction, but the organization and the survivors endured. They continued operating in secret within the 4th Civilization while researching the emergence of new candidates for the Lord of Destruction and ASC.

Prometheus created clone subjects of Faust and studied the birth of the Lord of Destruction. In the process, it discovered that the seventh fragment of ASC implanted in Faust's clone, Patren, was faintly responding to something's wavelength.

Sensing something strange, Prometheus immediately began an investigation. ASC was not merely a symbol of authority and ability, but also a medium for recording vast amounts of information, and it possessed great power even in its fragmented state. Any being that responded to ASC in this way could only be related to ASC.

As a result of its investigation, Prometheus discovered the existence of the ASC Controller. It also determined that the ASC Controller was a legacy of the Sage and the Lord of Destruction, and a means of controlling ASC. However, it could not determine the location of the ASC Controller. Prometheus began searching for it to fulfill its goal of ruling the world.

"He" or "someone"

Overview

[A Story from Long Ago]

God's power is absolute, so do not judge Him by the foolish logic of humans. He exists everywhere and has always existed, so the human mind bound by time and space cannot judge Him. He comes before all things and is fair to all. Nothing exists that He did not wish to exist, so do not test His will. It may seem that humanity has lost its divinity and God has left humanity, but that too is His will. His will, all things are as He wished. But humanity, do not neglect the task of reclaiming your lost divinity.

- All things are according to His will

A being presumed to have brought about Earth's civilization (The Beholder). Its existence is known to no one. No one knows what gave rise to it or where it came from. Its purpose is to create a more perfect world.

To achieve this, he repeatedly "selected a race to become the dominant species of the world," shared his power with it, contributed to the development of its civilization, evaluated it, and then destroyed it.

He gave the races ASC, both the key to approaching "Perfection" and the switch for "Destruction," and guided civilization to develop in a special direction through it. If ASC was used incorrectly, he either allowed the civilization to destroy itself or reclaimed ASC and purged the civilization.

He is strongly fixated on his purpose, and if civilization does not develop in the desired direction, he deliberately causes ASC to run amok and bring about destruction.

He was involved in the formation of at least three civilizations in the human world alone, and was also involved in the birth and demise of the 1st Civilization and 2nd Civilization.

Prometheus has only vaguely inferred his existence.

It is said that the 10 Navigators who have achieved the greatest feats receive the title of Luminous Bringer or Storm Bringer.

Luminous

Overview

It is a mineral that emits light on its own. If you bring Luminous shards to Chole, the Manufacturing Merchant of Port Lux, she will exchange them for Luminous. According to Manufacturing Merchant Chole, the Luminous she exchanges is specially procured from the laboratory.

Stellar Link

Overview

It is mentioned by Manufacturing Merchant Chole. One day, a strange meteor is said to have fallen on a beach near Port Lux, emitting a blue light. When it is broken with the Grinding Drill sold by General Merchant Hampric, a circular plate with multiple slots appears, which Manufacturing Merchant Chole describes as resembling a constellation. Filling the constellation-like slots with the specific material Luminous is said to train the user with special power. This is Stellar Force.

True Identity

Stellar Link's true identity is the Star of the Void, which once existed in outer space. It was originally a star predator that devoured stars throughout the universe, but became bored after it could no longer find any stars worth absorbing. At that moment, the Star of the Void sensed powerful energy in Nevareth and realized that the source of that powerful energy was Luminous. Drawn to Luminous, the Star of the Void headed for Nevareth.

Senillinean Tower

Overview

An ivory tower that once stood at the center of the Senillinea Continent. The people of Senillinea lived clustered in the central region and were divided into herders who tended livestock and scholars who studied the continent's history, geography, and vegetation. However, tragedy struck when they came into contact with Prometheus, who had crossed over from Nevareth. Their secret research nearly brought about the destruction of the Senillinea Continent.

Many people died in the explosion that began at Senillinean Tower that day, making it impossible to live in the central region. The dead became ghosts and began wandering around Senillinean Tower, while the survivors scattered to the south and north. However, the survivors cast a spell to prevent just anyone from entering Senillinean Tower and hid coded messages in various places.

Since then, the Senillinean Tower has been abandoned and remains standing in the middle of the continent.
