Chapter 576
[What Urd has unleashed… It’s the Seal of Void.]
From within Blue and Red, the Red Administrator observed the purple insignia unveiled by Urd and made this statement.
The Seal of Void.
It was said to be the mark imprinted by the Black Administrator when an administrator’s term concluded.
‘The seal that predicts death within a millennium… Could she really be passing it to Yggdrasil?’
If it could be passed along like that, why hadn’t she done it before?
This wasn’t a question that only Seong Jihan harbored.
Yggdrasil, who had received the seal, spoke.
[If you could’ve given this to me… you should have done so long ago. Urd, why hold onto it and endure such hardship…?]
Even knowing that receiving the seal would not be without consequences.
Yggdrasil reproached Urd for not passing it on earlier.
Ssssss…
Urd, bearing a compassionate gaze, looked upon the form of the Cosmic Tree stained with purple.
“Until now, I didn’t feel the need to survive at the cost of your sacrifice.”
[Then…]
“But upon witnessing a newfound power… I decided it was time to act again.”
Sleek.
With that, Urd turned her gaze towards Seong Jihan.
Her eyes gleamed with a radiant sparkle.
So,
‘She originally intended to remain quietly sealed within the Cosmic Tree, but changed her mind upon seeing my power.’
Whether it was the Blue or the Red stat she coveted,
Or perhaps she aimed for both, it was unclear.
Regardless, her intent to resurrect by sacrificing Yggdrasil indicated she would become a formidable adversary surpassing the Cosmic Tree.
‘Attacks won’t work because of that luminous clock…’
Seong Jihan observed the void emanating from the Black Administrator.
“Black Administrator, isn’t passing the Seal of Void like that against your intentions? Why don’t you correct that instead of just sticking around me?”
Here, using a bit of Hell’s power resulted in being closely monitored.
Why turn a blind eye to that?
When Seong Jihan posed his query to the void.
Sssss…
A message window appeared before his eyes.
[The Black Administrator states he cannot intervene in this matter due to an outstanding debt to the previous ‘White Administrator.’]
“…The previous White Administrator? Is that Urd?”
Mention of a White Administrator?
The light did flash dazzlingly, but was that the power of White after all?
‘I can somewhat understand why dealing with her isn’t easy.’
If the clock of light was indeed a constant administrator’s power known as ‘White,’ it explained its strength.
Nonetheless,
“And so, you’ll overlook her while monitoring only me? I didn’t realize the Black Administrator was so biased.”
Seong Jihan’s remark directed toward the void elicited another message.
[The Black Administrator declares he will not intervene in this affair regardless of what transpires.]
After the Black Administrator’s message was displayed,
Ssss…
The void emanating beside Seong Jihan evaporated.
This implied.
‘He won’t interfere even if I use Hell.’
The agreement essentially covered turning a blind eye to his use of abilities, given the favor granted to Urd.
‘Though touted as the strongest among administrators, the Black Administrator’s actions seem quite limited. It seems his power cannot be wielded freely.’
[That was always his nature. He intervened minimally historically… But once a pledge is made, he keeps his word, allowing Hell’s use in this instance is quite unexpected, underscoring the nuisance that the previous White Administrator’s return poses.]
‘Hmm. Yet if she resumes activity, what of the current White Administrator?’
[Who knows… the present White Administrator branded her a major criminal on BattleNet. Judging merely by words, it doesn’t appear they’re on friendly terms. Nevertheless, who can say whether they‘d ally if she resumes activity.]
‘I see… There’s all the more reason to handle her here.’
The power within Hell.
Though reluctant to employ it, the emergence of Urd as a variable necessitated mobilizing everything.
Swoosh…
The blue outline on Blue and Red faded, and,
From within, a red eye surfaced.
“Wow… Seeing it in person, it’s just fascinating!”
Eyes wide open, Urd expressed this upon witnessing it.
“Oh my… how does one like you even exist?”
One half of her body licked her lips with her severed tongue.
Then,
Sssss…
Bringing down the luminous clock she deployed for defense.
“Yggdrasil, I have a request.”
[Please, anything…!]
Aiming towards Yggdrasil, who was rapidly dissipating after receiving the Seal of Void.
“Would you take that for me?”
She requested Yggdrasil to serve as her shield.
[Yes…!]
Swish!
Given Urd’s request, the Cosmic Tree’s form rapidly disintegrated.
The massive luminous tree occupying the moon’s surface vanished, leaving a small rainbow-hued tree floating pathetically in front of Urd.
‘Using her last strength as she faces death?’
After such a long antagonistic relationship with Yggdrasil,
To see it end like this was unexpected. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Directing Hell’s power, which was gnawing on the small rainbow-hued tree thanks to the void,
Woosh…!
The tree of Yggdrasil burst into flames instantly.
[Lady Urd… I can’t hold out much longer. You must escape…!]
Moreover, Yggdrasil tried desperately to withstand as much of Hell’s power as possible before urging Urd to flee.
Due to receiving the Seal of Void, Yggdrasil undoubtedly couldn’t last long.
‘Where do you think you’re going?’
Before Urd could flee, Seong Jihan concentrated his power to suppress her, but,
“You don’t need to worry about myself.”
Tick. Tick.
As the clock of light reappeared, the flames of Hell, just like other powers, were deflected off course.
‘…Even this is blocked?’
Just like how the sword scar was warded off, the power from Hell bounced off as well.
Despite possessing infinite power, it was meaningless if not landing on the target.
If this was the case, why then did she use Yggdrasil as her shield?
Perceiving her with suspicion, Seong Jihan gazed towards Urd.
She grinned while plucking a branch from the burning rainbow-hued tree.
“I was just… curious about how that fire operates.”
[A… ah…]
Rubbing Hell’s flames on the branch, Urd remarked,
“Hmm… is that all the fire has to offer? I’m a bit disappointed compared to what I saw from Blue.”
Snuffing out Hell’s flame with a clench of her hand, she casually dusted off the burning Yggdrasil.
“Thanks, Yggdrasil, for living for me till the end.”
[No… it’s my existence’s purpose…]
“And now, rest.”
Almost immediately after Urd’s words ended,
Swish…!
The void multiplied rapidly across the rainbow-hued tree.
It then completely devoured it.
‘…So she had the ability to block it herself but chose to sacrifice Yggdrasil just to observe Hell’s flame.’
Despite having the capability to fend off all of Seong Jihan’s assaults with the light clock,
Simply to scrutinize Hell’s flame, Urd used Yggdrasil as kindling.
She touted the parent-child relationship yet behaved with calculated ruthlessness.
‘Ha… what to do with her…?’

As Seong Jihan surveyed Urd with resigned eyes.
[Black Administrator! What are you doing?!]
Boom!
A burst of pure white light erupted into the void.
[This situation is unprecedented, a state of emergency. Since you do not intervene, I shall temporarily unseal my power…!]
The light clock surrounding Urd began to be encased in white light.
* * *
‘This power… is it the White Administrator?’
The power reminiscent of what was seen within the veil of light back in Tuseong.
So this must be the White Light stat.
The power of the White Administrator.
‘Really today, all the administrators are showing up.’
He thought it would merely be a skirmish with the Green one.
Then the Black joined beside, followed by the return of the previous White Administrator.
To cap it off, even the current White Administrator, who was sealed, made an appearance.
At present, only the administrators occupied the moon’s surface.
‘Well, the power of White does appear to be neutralizing the clock.’
The once resistant and distorting light clock was now slowly dissolving into the radiance of the white light.
Behind the clock, watching this, Urd remarked,
“Well… it seems today concludes here.”
She cast a lingering glance towards Seong Jihan before deciding to retreat.
[Ha. Where do you think you’re going!]
Boom…!
A burst of light exploded from the void, erecting an enormous barrier of light around.
“Hmph… that’s not much of an improvement, is it?”
Urd apathetically observed the barrier,

Reacting contrary to the powers of Blue and Red that she had witnessed.
Despite the barrier attempting to rapidly narrow and encage her, she seemed unperturbed.
“Dear Blue Administrator!”
Instead, addressing Seong Jihan,
“…What is it?”
“Earlier, when you said the screens I showed were illusions, were you sincere?”
“What do you mean?”
“You mentioned the visions I displayed were artificial.”
Bzzz…
As screens reappeared all around, conjured by Urd.
From them,
Scenes of the elf army slaughtering humanity emerged.
The humans’ military and players struggled to resist the elf army,
Yet the stark difference in power was laid bare as humans were massacred.
She focused on the screens and flashed a grin.
“Didn’t you say that humans were just baggage, not needing them for real since they’re mere burdens to you?”
“Are you persisting with that bluff? I’ve already received word from Earth, all your displays are fake.”
Yes.
Didn’t Yoon Seah say so?
No elves had been summoned to Earth yet.
This was all a spectacle crafted by Urd.
Her fantasy carried less weight compared to Yoon Seah’s words.
“Oh… you’ve got quite a loyal one. Blue Administrator.”
But,
As she uttered that, wearing a deep smile,
Seong Jihan sensed a nagging foreboding.
‘…Could it be?’
Right.
Yoon Seah wouldn’t deceive something of such consequence.
“Then… let’s leave some burdens behind. Killing them all would free you excessively.”
Clap. Clap.
As Urd clapped twice,
[Aarrgh…!]
[What… what’s happening to my body?!]
The bodies of the elf army that was slaughtering humans,
Suddenly swelled and flashed, disappearing completely.
‘…Is this also an illusion?’
If the intent was to unsettle him,
There would be no need to show the elves self-destructing…?
Just as he strained his eyes wide,
“Do you know why they look just like me?”
Urd remarked with a grin as she watched the elves dissolve into light.
“It’s to complete my form.”
Upon her words,
Ssss…
The scar split by Seong Jihan began to revert from above.
Even with the Seal of Void handed to Yggdrasil,
And with the clock of White aside, though Urd didn’t seem to display much power.
‘…The vitality is surging rapidly.’
From the point when elves within the screen transformed into light.
A distinct aura of vitality radiated from her.
Were those elves identical to her for resource extraction all along?
“Hmm. This should suffice for now…”
Recharged nearly to the level of a Yggdrasil clone, Urd,
Tap. Tap.
Approached the light barrier, and tapped lightly.
Instantly punching a hole through the barrier.
“Then I’ll take my leave first. Let’s meet somewhere better next time~”
Urd waved her hand towards Seong Jihan and turned into light, vanishing.
[…No. How did she pierce through my barrier…?!]
Seeing the barrier so easily punctured by Urd’s mere knocking, the White Administrator was aghast.
‘That thing just keeps getting broken all day.’
As Seong Jihan watched the light barrier riddled with holes,
‘…Let’s head back to Earth without delay.’
He opened a portal for his return.
Perhaps thanks to Urd perforating the light barrier, the portal opened smoothly.
[Wait! Blue Administrator, I have something urgent to discuss.]
The White Administrator hurriedly attempted to stop Seong Jihan.
“I have urgent matters to tend to. Let’s talk another time.”
With that response, he swiftly stepped into the portal.
Flash…!
Emerging on the other side of the portal.
“…No.”
Faced with an appalling scene, Seong Jihan was left speechless.
