In a world where there's not only one Absolute Being, but three: the Divine Triad—Ashborn, the Celestial Being; Sung Jin-Woo, the Shadow Monarch; and Sung Su-Ho, the Dragon Monarch—rise to establish dominion over all realms. From their formidable castles—Absolute Castle, Umbra Citadel, and Eternis Draconis—they forge the future of the multiverse. To create an unstoppable force, they craft the Apostles of God, Heavenly Soldiers, and Dark Apostles. Seeking vengeance on the traitorous Itarim, Sung Jin-Woo materializes his Shadow Soldiers into the powerful Shadow Lords, while Sung Su-Ho shapes his Fiery Shadow Soldiers into Dragon Lords. Together, they create the Shadowkin and Dragonkin to expand their empire. As their influence grows, the Divine Triad prepares for the ultimate battle to bring justice, order, and eternal power to the realms.

Solo Leveling: The Divine Triad (narrative)

While the Divine Triad bore the true seven-horned golden mask-helmets, crowns, halos, and necklaces crafted from the Absolute Crown, their clones lacked such divine relics. To maintain their distinct status and differentiate them from the original beings, the clones were equipped with lesser imitations of these insignias.

Clones' Insignia: Aesthetic Mimicry Without Power

The clones' insignias mirrored the appearance of their creators' divine artifacts but were forged from general divine gold, lacking the mystical properties and defensive utility of the originals.

The clones donned seven-horned golden mask-helmets during battle to emulate their creators' grandeur and instill fear in their enemies.

Unlike the original mask-helmets, these were purely decorative and provided no additional abilities or protection.

The horns emitted a dim, symbolic glow to represent their allegiance to the Divine Triad, but their function was entirely aesthetic.

When moving between realms or overseeing tasks, the clones' insignias took the form of a seven-beaded golden necklace resting lightly on their chests.

The necklace symbolized their divine origins and served as a mark of their authority under the Divine Triad.

However, unlike the originals' halo or necklace, these imitations carried no divine aura or passive abilities, functioning merely as identifiers.

The clones were deliberately denied crowns or halos, as these forms were reserved for the true Divine Triad alone.

This distinction emphasized the clones' subordinate nature, despite their immense power.

The imitation insignias served several purposes:

Symbol of Representation: The insignias visually connected the clones to the Divine Triad, reinforcing their role as extensions of their creators.

Inspiration to Followers: The clones' appearance inspired awe among followers, symbolizing the omnipresence and might of the Divine Triad.

Practical Differentiation: The absence of true artifacts ensured that the clones could not be mistaken for the originals, maintaining the hierarchy of divinity.

Despite their limited insignias, the clones' overwhelming power often rendered such adornments unnecessary. Their mere presence was enough to command respect and obedience, as each clone wielded only a fraction of their creator's power but still far surpassed most beings in existence.

This deliberate limitation highlighted the unique supremacy of the Divine Triad, ensuring that the originals' divine relics remained exclusive symbols of their unmatched godhood.
