Episode 249: Characteristics, World -1-
I’m a little confused.
This never happened in the game.
The only rewards you get from growing the World Tree are spirit contracts, World Tree materials, and forming an alliance with the elves through dimensional rifts.
‘No.’
Let’s change our thinking.
In the first place, the maximum was to use the Skyship and Skidbladnir as they were.
Uniting the river goddesses to create the Sky River?
It didn’t exist in the game.
This is just my in-depth application.
‘Then how do you use that… … .’
It’s difficult to make it into an artifact.
Because it’s too big.
Its thickness and length easily surpass that of my building in Gangnam.
In that case, I guess I should write according to the clues that the goddess of the lecture is showing me now.
I bowed politely.
“Thank you. This is a gift I never expected. I would like to use it as a hull for the Skyship.”
[I think so too. Black.]
[Should I merge them?]
“Then it’s good for me.”
Sharrung, the world tree shook its branches.
Then, the tree branches resting on the Sky River begin to emit a deep green light.
It also starts to melt.
It seeped into the sapphire hull and became one with it.
The sky river changes.
From the bridge, dark brown trees sprout.
It’s part of the world tree.
Thus, it stretched out as if it were encroaching on the previously blue hull, and formed a new wooden hull.
Naturally, the level of the Sky River itself rises.
Sky River, which had the attribute of water, is now given the attribute of wood.
A spherical mass of water that surrounds a wooden aircraft carrier.
And the fog that took over the surrounding space.
‘Okay.’
I clenched my fist hard.
I felt like the Sky River had become much stronger.
Attack power, defense, magic resistance, movement speed, comfort on board… … .
It’s a whole different level from when the goddess of the river was in control.
The most powerful aircraft carrier ever implemented in a game.
I think it would be okay to call it that.
‘If only we could make our house special… … If only we could load a few more sailors… … .’
I guarantee that no matter how many armies the old father’s sect sends, it will be difficult to capture it.
“Thank you, Godmother.”
[Don’t call me godmother. You make me sound old.]
“Yes, World Tree.”
The world tree that speaks like a child.
He must be older than Dangun, isn’t that a bit much?
Well, it’s true that he’s a young rookie.
If the Tree Godmother was closer to a tree spirit than a god, then the current World Tree is a proper god.
As it grows, it may grow into something similar to the old Anuket.
[Black. Come closer.]
“yes.”
Should I give blood now?
I got as close to the World Tree as possible.
So thick that it almost touches the body of the monster village.
The World Tree spread its branches over my head.
The branches of the trees, so vast and towering that they melted into the air, shook the space and rustled the leaves.
A tree branch that is leaning and slanting.
At the end, the splendid leaves brush my nose and touch my chest.
To be exact, it’s on a necklace hidden under the Starspawn protective suit.
[Heart of Abundance] that I received from Saje Kim before.
To that artifact with all stat increases and luck effects.
[You have a good one. But, it looks a bit too small for you to carry around, Black Star.]
Brrrrr.
The tips of the branches opened and an ecstatic scent was released.
blood?
no.
A few drops of golden sap were dripping down the necklace.
The sap of the world tree seeps into the jewels.

A particularly large leaf falls and covers it, and a piece of twig is entangled with the leaf and fixed to the heart of abundance.
Finally, unity.
Phew!
The light spreads.
Dozens of competing lights shine and then merge into just one color.
Pale green.
A color that captures the energy of the World Tree.
[How is it? I showed off my skills.]
The world tree asked in an expectant voice.
After examining the necklace with my ears, I gave the World Tree a double-cross.
“It’s the best!”
The existing effects, namely increased ability and luck, were maintained.
No, it got stronger little by little.
About 20%?
What’s surprising is that a new effect was added to this.
Could we name it [Protection of the World Tree]?
First of all, all attribute resistances have been greatly increased.
If I were to add the corresponding attribute resistance to my magic resistance, I would be able to withstand any attack with a smile.
All damage reduction and resilience increases are included here.
Strong enough to surpass the [patience] and [vigor] that I once used so well.
Simply put, the Heart of Abundance is no longer your average SSR-grade.
It must be seen as a miracle.
Relative to Mjolnir, Aegis, and the Dragon Lord’s Crown.
“This is amazing. I have never seen such a beautiful necklace before. It is almost like a necklace of a god. Only something like Bringshigamen or Amaterasu’s magatama can compare to it.”
[Of course! I put in so much effort!]
In the game, the World Tree is strengthened by blessing other necklaces.
This is better than that necklace.
The Heart of Abundance and the Blessing of the World Tree were a good match.
The name Heart of Abundance is an understatement.
okay.
From now on, let’s call it the Heart of the World Tree, not the Heart of Abundance.
Swish.
Moreover, the blessings contained in the heart of the World Tree were also influencing me.
Strengthening and raising my level by shaking my whole body.
Well, it wasn’t enough though.
Poka is the third blessing after the Goddess of the River, but the wall at level 8 is still thick.
[Okay. The most important thing remains.]
Thump!
My heart was pounding loudly.
The World Tree’s branches, the World Tree’s heart, and the World Tree’s blessings are all great rewards.
But not to this extent.
There is a separate reason why I spent a huge amount of money to grow the world tree.
“I’ve been waiting.”
[Oh my. I would have been mad if you hadn’t given it to me.]
The World Tree said playfully.
But it seems like he really has no intention of joking.
Crackle. Crackle.
The thick bark I see is splitting by itself.
A crack was created that was large enough for one person to fit through.
“Gulp!”
Someone swallowed.
A wound inflicted by the World Tree itself.
That’s where the golden sap evaporates, releasing a sweet smell.
As both humans and mutants swallowed, bloody liquid dripped from the deepest part of the crack.
The blood of the world tree.
Even when I was a tree godmother, I was strong enough to release divine power, but now I have reached a higher level and am a blood that holds supreme power.
[Take it.]
The World Tree spoke in a hazy voice.
It took quite a bit of effort.
It is several times more than when you break a branch and bless me and the necklace at the same time.
I took a step closer.
I clung to the bark of the world tree.
In that state, I put my arm in.
The drops of blood of the World Tree, hard and sealed like jewels, yet soft and powerful, were caught at the tip of my fingers.
I pulled it gently.
Then something strange happens.
Riding on the drops of blood, riding on the wooden walls, riding on the flesh of the world tree, some power, or some concept, is being infused into me.
It was a strange feeling.
But this feeling is not unfamiliar.
I’ve definitely experienced it.
Just a few months ago.
Not far from here.
Immediately after sparring with the commander of the Eastern Army Corps.
Like when the commander placed his palm on my back and injected his magic into me.
“World Tree?”
[You will need it.]
The World Tree spoke in a very tired voice.
[To resist great evil, noble malice.]
The goddess who was watching from the Sky River also agreed.
[That would be true. But the World Tree. Isn’t that too big of a thing to hand over? Even if it regenerates after some time, you will have to sleep for a while.]
[That’s better than being burned to death or eaten to death.]
[That’s true, though.]
What did the World Tree give me?
I looked into myself, equipped with things like ear-sight, sixth sense, magical brain, and meditation.
None other than my inner world.
Then it appeared.
A characteristic that appears only in small detail.
A magical circuit that is as complex as a hero’s, yet small in size, reminiscent of a magic seed.
‘What is this?’
Was there a special characteristic that the World Tree gave?
It wasn’t in the game.
I’ve never been given a trait while doing quests, growing the World Tree, or delivering across dimensional rifts.
One was foreshadowed in Episode 10, The Apocalypse, but its specific nature was not revealed.
‘Is this it?’
Try installing it yourself.
All other characteristics are empty and only this one unidentified characteristic is left.
And then it starts.
… … .
There was no response.
Your abilities don’t increase, you don’t feel any special powers, and your senses don’t open up.
What the heck?
As I tilted my head, the goddess smiled and said.
[The ability that the World Tree gave you, Geomseong, is… If I were to express it in a language that Geomseong is familiar with, it would be something like the world.]
world?
That’s right.
A trait that was scheduled to be updated in Episode 10, but whose name was only revealed.
I remember just talking about how this was a type of trait that had never existed in Arcane Seoul before.
I was distracted by Ares’s Law or other warrior class’ strongest traits.
“What kind of superpower is it?”
[The power of fusion and harmony, the power of the whole.]
“then…….”
[You can combine completely different elements into one and create something completely new.]
Really?
I opened my eyes wide.
There’s something I’ve been thinking about for a long time.
Mars Sword Fighting, Nephilim Sword, Kalaratree.
Arcane Seoul’s three major swordsmanship methods.
Since the efficiency isn’t that good when used together, I’m using it by switching out the trait sets.
But that means you can combine them with world characteristics.
Can you stand it?
I went straight into the trait conversion.
[Mars Sword Fighting][Nephilim Sword][Kalaratri]
[Master of the Sword][Thor’s Training Method][World]
Re-activation.
The world.
The characteristics of fusion, harmony, and totality that the goddess spoke of.
but…….
This time there was no response either.
The world tree’s leaves swayed as if shaking their heads.
[Your rank is still lacking.]
“What is the rank?”
[Yeah. At least you have to become a transcendent being.]
Transcendent.
That is, level 8.
[You must make the level of your soul completely yours.]
“The soul of the… … .”
I don’t know what you’re talking about.
I know that I am the Almighty, the incredibly great spirit spoken of by the gods and priests.
But I’m not sure if I’m great or not.
Could it have something to do with the fact that I am from this world, as the saint said?
What, should I look for memories from my past life?
[Think about it carefully.]
[There’s one more thing to know.]
The goddess who had been listening also joined in.
[The power the World Tree gave you is not meant to be used like that.]
“yes?”
[Do you think that the ability given to you is just a few superpowers combined? The World Tree must be upset.]
[Hey. We’re human. Our imagination can’t help but be poor.]
[You are immersed in your omnipotence and your vision has become narrow. Think carefully about why you named it the world. Also think about why the magic circuits are shaped like seeds.]
Are you trying to solve a riddle with me?
He frowned slightly.
The World Tree whispered a soft, soothing voice.
[There’s a reason I can only say this. Don’t feel bad.]
“Yes, I understand what you mean.”
I guess it’s for some sort of prophetic reason.
If you tell me directly, the future is fixed blah blah.
Growth and evolution are limited, blah blah blah.
It’s obvious, it’s obvious.
[Haaam.]
The world tree yawned deeply.
[I’m tired… … I should go to sleep… … .]
[You’ve worked hard, World Tree. Leave the rest to me and Geomseong and get some rest. Everything will be over by the time you open your eyes.]
[Yes… … I wish I could open my eyes… … I don’t want to die either… … .]
The consciousness of the world tree fades away.
The swaying branches and rustling leaves become fixed.
Even the wind cannot shake it.
Like a still life painted with paints rather than a living thing.
Instead, there was a dramatic change.
Phong! Phong!
Roots of the world tree.
Some of them split open, gushing golden sap like fountains.
And that’s not all.
The leaves that had been melting in the air become tangible and fall.
Like golden ginkgo leaves in autumn.
Here, transparent fruits were growing on each branch, ripening in seconds and falling, shining like jewels.
“wow!”
“omg!”
“Use it!”
The sap, leaves, and fruit of the World Tree.
All are rare magic materials and consumables.
Just eating it strengthens your body and elevates your spirit.
Everyone was just gulping.
The World Tree left its last words as it fell asleep.
[As you please… … Write… … Eat what you want to eat… … Kuuul… … Apply what you want to apply… … Kuuul… … .]
The consciousness of the World Tree fell completely asleep.
The heavy presence that had been weighing down on the surroundings had dispersed.
The goddess who dwelled in the sky also laughed lightly.
[I think I need to get some rest too.]
The sky folds itself.
It becomes a toy ship and fits perfectly in my pocket.
Naturally, all eyes turned to me.
The disciples, the subordinates, and the mutants of the monster village.
I smiled brightly too.
“Let’s have a festival.”
“A festival?”
“The liquor made from the sap of the World Tree is so amazing.”
“alcohol!”
“If you put a World Tree leaf in rice cake, it will kill you.”
“Gulp!”
“The World Tree Fruit Cookies are truly the king of cookies.”
What wouldn’t taste good?
The World Tree’s ingredients are the ultimate elixir and heavenly seasoning.
No matter what dish you make or what recipe you use, it gives you a pleasure that you won’t know even if one of you dies while eating it.
People, mutants, raised their arms and cheered.
“Viva!”
“Thank you, World Tree!”
“I will eat it gratefully!”
“Kyaaaaak!”
“Kit kit! Kieeeek!”
The fish people also got involved.
The Sky River went into my pocket, but it came out before I knew it.
They said they wanted to try some of the World Tree too.
It’s not a bad story for me either.
Wouldn’t it be good for me if the fish people became stronger?
“It’s a festival!”
“festivities!”
“Kyakit!”
A messy food truck.
In an instant, the World Tree liquor, World Tree rice cakes, and World Tree cookies are completed.
Everyone was playing, but I didn’t mix in with them.
Instead, I took a few World Tree fruits and settled them in a corner.
why?
The fruit of the World Tree is the main ingredient for some consumables.
An item I’ve rarely used in the game.
The snack I ate without any regrets in front of Thor.
It was the material for the paid item, Ambrosia.
