After Yggdrasil declared that she would eliminate all the ‘hiding places’ for the Red Administrator.

-Why is the Cosmic Tree looking for the Red Administrator among humans?

-Uh, but there’s a strange feeling about the light from the roots…

-Ah, even touching my screen feels awkward now; my fingers feel heavy.

People immersed in the green light quickly started to notice changes.

The light lacked substance until just a moment ago, but now they began to feel some weight to it.

-Oh crap, I feel like we need to get away from this green light…

-Where would you go… It’s light all around us.

-Seriously, Red Administrator, hurry up and show yourself ㅡㅡ

-But… what if he doesn’t show up? Are we all going to die for real???

-No way…

While humanity, forcibly watching BattleTube, expressed anxiety at the change in the light,

“They said they wouldn’t touch here, but the light is creeping in.”

On the top floor of Sword Palace,

In the penthouse living room, Yoon Seah frowned as she looked around.

Outside the window, the world was completely engulfed in green light,

But the light had not entered this room, not yet.

In truth, the first place the roots of the World Tree descended was the entire Sword Palace building,

However, after Yoon Seah expertly upgraded the blue sword, ‘Kim Jihun,’

Yggdrasil pulled back the light of the roots from the penthouse, somewhat guaranteeing safety.

And among those benefiting from Yggdrasil’s reluctant courtesy, including the parents of Yoon Seah,

“W-why is the Cosmic Tree acting like this all of a sudden?”

“Why are you saying that here… Sigh. Seriously. Don’t you remember the boss?”

“Wasn’t the boss the young lady?”

There were Lee Hayeon, the guild master of the Daegi guild, and her escort Lim Gayeong.

Unlike Lim Gayeong, who remained confused about the current situation without regaining her memory of Seong Jihan,

“…Seah, thank you once again. For bringing us here.”

Lee Hayeon bowed her head while watching the screen, appreciating Yoon Seah.

“Since you remembered Uncle, I brought you here specially.”

“…I recalled too late.”

Recently, the record erasure imposed by the World Tree Alliance had malfunctioned due to Yggdrasil’s rampage, allowing Lee Hayeon to regain her memories.

After rediscovering materials related to Seong Jihan’s rescue in the guild’s warehouse, she realized why she’d often been drinking there.

Even though her memories were erased due to the record erasure at the time, her frustration from participating in the anti-record erasure movement lingered.

Every time she entered that place, her desire to drink would spike.

And after remembering everything,

She found herself in the warehouse with abandoned work, surrounded by alcohol bottles.

“If I hadn’t heard you drunkenly muttering ‘boss’ in the warehouse, I might not have brought you.”

“Hm… How did you overhear my drunken ramblings in the warehouse?”

“I didn’t achieve rank 1 for nothing.”

Then Yoon Seah turned her eyes towards Lim Gayeong.

“Gayeong… although you haven’t regained your memory, but you’re a set with my sister, so I brought you in as a bonus.”

“…Thank you. But Seah, haven’t you heard from the boss?”

“About that…”

As Yoon Seah hesitated to answer,

“No, young lady. That’s not important right now!”

Lim Gayeong, with wide eyes, pointed to the screen on BattleTube.

“What? What’s happening?”

“There are flames appearing in front of Yggdrasil!”

“Flames…?”

In front of Yggdrasil,

At the center of the Hall of Swords where the blue sword is planted,

Suddenly a colossal flame erupted.

And from within it emerged a human enveloped in fire.

The Red Administrator had appeared.

* * *

“You have truly… shown yourself?”

Yggdrasil gazed at the Red Administrator with astonished eyes.

No, why did he appear now?

‘I thought he would only reveal himself when humanity was about to be exterminated, and I had expended my power.’

The Red Administrator, who would sacrifice his own kind without hesitation for his goals.

She had never imagined that he would step forward to save humanity.

Furthermore,

The Hall of Swords teemed with blue swords, making it the worst possible environment for the Red Administrator.

Him descending here, in this place that holds back his power for humanity’s sake?

This was undeniably irrational.

‘Indeed. If he were truly the Red Administrator… he would never come here.’

Therefore,

She had modified the Hall of Swords’ structure, planning to detect the Red Administrator’s position after exterminating humanity,

To bombard him from a distance.

Yet here he was, confidently appearing.

When Yggdrasil, still unable to believe it, gripped Kim Jihun’s blue sword tightly,

Whoosh…

A refreshing sensation spread from the sword’s handle to her hand.

The intense feeling of Blue’s energy,

It coursed through her from hand to body.

‘What is this? This is…’

She instinctively lifted the blue sword to seize the Red Administrator who appeared before her.

The sword was pouring Blue’s energy into her without her command.

The blue sword of Kim Jihun, acting against its owner’s will.

While Yggdrasil tried to control its actions,

The Blue energy was rapidly taking over her body through the sword.

Why was the blue sword acting like this, which had never caused trouble before?

She attempted to release the sword from her hand but,

“…Why isn’t it letting go?”

The blue sword was not obeying.

Why, of all times, was Blue acting up now?

The Blue meant for the enemy, the Red Administrator,

Why at this moment?

As confusion overtook her,

She recognized the form of the Red Administrator standing once again before her.

The body used by Seong Jihan, the vessel of the Red Administrator, yes.

Inside it, however, definitely stood Seong Jihan, the Blue Administrator.

The one who had been entrapped by Red and eventually lost his body to him.

'…But what if that’s not the case?’

It was common sense for the Red Administrator to overcome Seong Jihan.

Indeed,

Even if you asked the universe's gods, they’d all bet on the Red Administrator.

Therefore, she never suspected that Seong Jihan could have prevailed.

Everything revealed so far had aligned perfectly with the actions of the Red Administrator, but…

“Are you… the Blue Administrator, by any chance?”

She asked, almost unable to believe her own words.

“It’s been a while, Yggdrasil.”

Swish…

The flames around the figure dissipated, revealing Seong Jihan.

And as he laid eyes on the blue sword,

Screech…

Blue lines quickly etched across Yggdrasil’s entire body.

“You, you… was this sword also…?”

“Thank you for collecting the Blue, Yggdrasil. I’ll repay the favor.”

Barely had the words escaped him,

Blue explosively surged from Kim Jihun’s sword.

The blue energy, until now only flowing into the body, turned each part into a blade.

Screech…

In the blink of an eye, Yggdrasil’s avatar disintegrated.

Elven bodies, renowned for regenerating even with the tiniest speck left behind,

However, the Blue lines left no medium for regeneration and utterly obliterated Yggdrasil’s form.

And as the sword she wielded hit the ground,

“…”

Swoosh.

Seong Jihan reached out.

Kim Jihun’s blue sword was grasped in his hand,

And he began to absorb all the amassed blue energy in the Hall of Swords.

Every blue sword densely planted under Namsan vanished in an instant.

The Blue energy they had gathered funneled into Seong Jihan.

[Stat Blue increased by 4359.]

Despite the combined efforts of the World Tree Alliance to collect Blue,

This refined stat resulted in just this much after absorbing from 7 billion.

[Stat Blue has nearly reached SSS rank.]

[‘Gift - Blue Vessel’ is upgraded to SSS rank.]

[Stat Blue’s upper limit increased by 1000.]

‘…The rank itself hasn’t increased, after all.’

At least it was fortunate that Blue Vessel had been upgraded and extended the limit.

Seong Jihan’s eyes deepened with thought.

If Stat Blue had reached SSS rank, Blue alone might have resolved everything.

‘Just the amount of stat alone can’t reach SSS…’

Inevitably, he must use Blue and Red…

He looked to the sky.

Though Yggdrasil was shattered, it was merely an avatar.

Her true self was,

A sun glowing green up there in the heavens.

And then,

[Ha. Hahaha… Hahahah.]

Laughter echoed nonstop, even as Blue annihilated her avatar.

[Who could have imagined you managed to defeat the Red Administrator? It’s truly inconceivable.]

“…”

Seong Jihan did not bother to respond to her words and grasped Blue and Red.

Swish!

With a light swing of his sword,

Whoosh…

The green light that shrouded the Hall of Swords and swallowed Seoul’s city center dissipated.

Even though this single strike displayed power beyond measure…

‘Only this much?’

Seong Jihan found no satisfaction.

Infinite Annihilation God

Annihilation God's Secret

One Sword Breaks the Sky

Srrrng…

With Blue radiating from Blue and Red,

Seong Jihan’s sword tip pointed once upward.

And then,

-Wow… the, the green light…

-It’s gone. The light of the roots vanished!

-The light in Beijing disappeared too.

-Tokyo too… The sky is blue again!

A swing from Namsan obliterated not just the light there, but also Yggdrasil’s roots in Northeast Asia.

Yet,

‘Not enough.’

Even if he succeeded Taiji’s ultimate martial arts and Blue’s power surged,

Eliminating Yggdrasil’s root light spread over Earth before her response was nearly impossible.

[Stop.]

And,

[Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.]

Along with Yggdrasil’s urgent voice,

Buzz…

Numerous screens floated up in the sky.

Displaying people submerged in green light.

Highlighting the elderly and weak prominently, Yggdrasil

[You came out for the sake of humanity, didn’t you?]

“…”

[Isn’t that right? If you had ignored human extermination, you could’ve easily won, but by showing up… Hehe, now stand still. Otherwise, I’ll make all these people… blow up.]

She threatened Seong Jihan.

“What do you want?”

[You have to accompany me somewhere. To that person, whom you dared to touch pretending to be the Red Administrator.]

“Do you think I’ll just go with you because you’re holding hostages?”

[If you meet her just once, I’ll ensure humanity’s safety. They’re of no value now, anyway.]

That person was likely referring to Urd.

Seong Jihan thought, listening to Yggdrasil instruct him to make contact with her.

‘So this madness of Yggdrasil’s… was influenced by Urd?’

Yggdrasil who suddenly descended her roots on humanity, in search of the Red Administrator.

Curious about her motives, it seemed Urd was connected to them.

“Contact with her… Did she gain some vitality after pushing void onto me?”

[Fufu… That, you’ll find out by coming.]

As Yggdrasil kept showing more of the human videos,

Seong Jihan without concern, opened his mouth again.

“I understand why you did this now, it was because of Urd.”

[How, how do you know her name… ?]

“Who knows.”

Not bothering with her question,

He wielded Blue and Red.

Swoosh…

With blue light receding from Blue and Red’s boundaries.

Infinite Annihilation God

Opening the Blue Gate

Eternal Light

The power sealed within it began to be unlocked.
