Chapter 346
“The Star of Transcendence contains, albeit in minuscule amounts... the power of the Great Ouroboros,” Hashinta revealed.
It was a statement significant enough to put any adventurer in shock, but Do-Jun’s expression didn’t change in the slightest.
With a face as calm as ever, he simply nodded and responded, “I see.”
That was all he said, his tone indifferent.
If anything, it was Hashinta who ended up feeling awkward. This adventurer acted as if the news he had just shared was nothing important.
Still, he could understand why. Only a select few even knew about Ouroboros—mainly, a handful of powerful figures in the Deep Realm or the administrators. There was no way an ordinary adventurer like Do-Jun could grasp the greatness of the legendary serpent.
“I suppose I should explain it to you,” Hashinta said, deciding to enlighten Do-Jun on its greatness.

The Tutorial Zone was the only reason that the adventurers, who were transferred to the Core due to the Encroachment, managed to survive against powerful monsters. More precisely, it was thanks to Ouroboros.
Mastery Stones and Status Window Snakes were absolutely indispensable to adventurers and were the sole reason for their survival. Feeble adventurers absorbed Mastery Stones through their Status Window Snakes, gaining power far beyond their original capabilities.
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that adventurers were blessed with Status Window Snakes, which originated from the influence of Ouroboros. The Mastery Stones themselves offered no direct assistance, but by consuming them, the Status Window Snakes strengthened their hosts, granting them the abilities needed to survive.
The legends described Ouroboros as a flawless being possessing infinite power that formed the very pulse of the Core. It was depicted as a circular snake biting its own tail, a symbol of completeness.
