So close!
Of course, Kyle wasn't really bothered. It was just fun for him to go with the meme.
As Kyle touched his emblem, new knowledge appeared in his mind.
Powerful Seekers could implant knowledge into people, but it was rarely used.
The reason was that just getting knowledge beamed into your head would make it harder for you to learn things on your own.
Something like that was deadly for a Seeker. After all, they needed to learn their Laws.
However, the knowledge that appeared in Kyle's mind just described the rules of the Star Seeking, of which there were not many.
'Huh, I'm actually stuck with my team,' he thought, glancing at his two teammates, who were also glancing at him.
Teams were supposed to fight together against other teams.
If one team had fewer members, they would be overwhelmed by the other teams.
After all, everyone here was a Fulfilled Transcendent with enough power to take a shot at becoming a Unique Transcendent.
The power differences between them were not big.
Even more, getting new teammates wasn't even difficult.
If a member of the team died, the team could use their emblem to enter a reshuffle.
Since there were literally millions upon millions of participants, they would get a new member quickly.
Because of that, it was almost impossible to meet a team with only one or two members.
99.9999% of teams would have three members.
There was also another function the emblem had.
Giving up.
The Array of Stars wasn't forcefully keeping the participants here.
If someone wanted to leave, they could just activate that function, and they would be teleported away.
However, there was one important note.
This function was not available during a battle.
If it were, this would defeat the entire purpose of the Star Seeking.
The Star Seeking was a figurative forge that was creating swords.
Millions of people entered, and thousands or maybe even just hundreds would leave.
The only two reliable ways to create Unique Transcendents were pressure and danger.
In short, True Battles.
A True Battle could only be a True Battle if one's back was against the wall.
Another interesting function of the emblem was to initiate fights.
A team could only enter a battle if all three members agreed.
Yes, a simple majority of two people was not enough.
One needed all three.
This made it seem like one person could keep a team hostage by always disagreeing on the course of action, but that was not true. After all, there was no rule forbidding the killing of team members.
The team had to agree unanimously when it came to battling other teams, but this was not necessary during infighting.
When a team agreed to initiate a battle, a forcefield would appear around both teams, and it would only dissipate when one team was eliminated.
Luckily, the forcefield was huge and spherical, which meant the underground and the sky were still accessible.
Kyle had also learned about the general layout of the Star Seeking.
'100,000 planets,' Kyle thought. '100,000 planets that are solely dedicated to the Star Seeking.'
'There are no Central Planets. There are no civilians.'
'It's just a bunch of empty planets, a bunch of Law Planets, and a bunch of Wild Planets with beasts on them.'
'The majority of beasts are in the Fifth Realm. In fact, there are even some beasts in the Sixth Realm, but the planets they reside on are marked.'
'So, it's just danger everywhere.'
'Yep, it makes sense that my persona came here for True Battles. How am I supposed to not get any True Battles here?'
'There's even a level system.'
Naturally, while the power difference between the individual members was small, the difference between teams was still considerable.
Teams with three supportive members who had just comprehended their Complex Law couldn't possibly win against a balanced team that had already eliminated twenty other teams.
However, due to secrecy regarding individual power, the level of the team was not based on their power but on the number of fights they had won.
White was the lowest, and it meant the team had not won any fights.
Yellow was the next, and it meant the team had won one or two fights.
It was important to note that one was only allowed to initiate a fight against a lower-level team if they were only one level lower.
Yellow teams could attack a white team, but orange teams could not attack white teams.
Orange was the next level, and it represented three won fights.
Red was five.
And black was ten.
Apparently, black teams were exceedingly rare.
Most of the time, the members of black teams were extremely close to becoming Unique Transcendents.
After so many True Battles, their Momentum was so strong that comprehending Laws was no longer difficult.
There was also a special rule for black teams.
Black teams were not allowed to attack any team that was not also a black team.
They've had their ten True Battles. As long as they didn't kill weaker teams all the time, their Momentum would be unreasonably powerful.
If they had done just that, it was their own fault, and they didn't deserve to waste more recruits.
Fighting was encouraged, but only when the fight was a True Battle.
The level of a team was represented by a certain wave of Energy their emblems gave off, which automatically made others associate said wave with a certain color.
There were a couple more rules, but they were not that important.
'In summary, there's danger everywhere, and being alone is suicide.'
After everyone had received their emblems and their mental book of rules, the energy around them distorted.
An extremely powerful person was overseeing the Star Seeking, and they would keep track of everything.
This powerful person would teleport the teams to random planets, and no team would know where another team ended up.
With luck, one would get teleported to a Law Planet with only one other white team.
With bad luck, one would arrive right in front of a yellow team.
Kyle (Farted)looked at his two teammates, and they looked back.
The Energy around them intensified.
And then, they vanished.
The Star Seeking had begun.
