Chapter 585

In the counselling room of the Daegi Guild.

"......"

Yoon Seah, dragged in by Seong Jihan, was blinking and watching his expression carefully.

"What's wrong with you since earlier?"

"No... well."

Unable to continue speaking, she bit her lip.

"I-I'm sorry for causing trouble until now!"

She stood up abruptly and bowed 90 degrees.

"It's not like you caused any real trouble."

"But, but didn't you overexert yourself because of me? That, turning back time..."

"Ah. That turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Don't worry about it."

After all, that incident became the catalyst for raising the Blue stat's grade to SSS.

"How's your body doing?"

"Me? I'm healthy. The void has decreased to 1/10... but it's better to have it reduced than to have the Great Vessel of Void with no void."

"That gift, did it completely disappear for you too?"

"No? It just shows up as a broken vessel. Grade F."

"Really?"

Seong Jihan opened his own status window.

The Blue vessel he had possessed had completely disappeared from the gift slot when he broke it then.

But for Yoon Seah, it was still occupying the gift slot...

He examined Yoon Seah's body with his eyes.

Clearly, the Great Vessel of Void he had broken last time, had disappeared without a trace.

'Hmm. So the vessel isn't visible at all, but it remains as a gift. I wonder if it could regenerate given the right circumstances...'

He shouldn't let his guard down just because he broke the vessel.

He would need to keep observing carefully.

Thinking this, Seong Jihan asked Yoon Seah.

"So, are your thoughts back to how they were before?"

"Before... you mean before becoming the Arena owner?"

"Yeah."

"That's... I'm not sure."

Yoon Seah scratched her cheek with an uncertain expression.

"Of course, I don't feel indifferent about humans dying or unable to feel emotions for my parents like before... but the experiences and memories from when I was the Arena's owner remain."

"Hmm..."

"Yeah. Does this... mean I need to be stabbed again?"

"No."

The vessel was already broken anyway.

And Yoon Seah had lived as a candidate for the Arena's owner for at least 5 years.

As long as the memories remained, this current confused state was unavoidable.

"Then do you not want to go back to being the Arena's owner?"

"Ah. I don't want to go back to that time. Not only did I lose my humanity, but I felt too swayed by the power of the void..."

"Swayed by the void... In what sense?"

"After becoming a proper Cosmos and the Arena's owner. The thought of aiming for the Black Administrator position... kept unconsciously taking root." freeweɓnovel.cѳm

"Aiming for the Black Administrator?"

Yoon Seah nodded at those words.

"Yeah. The ultimate goal that a Cosmos should pursue is to become the Black Administrator. I kept having these thoughts."

"You had quite the ambition, huh."

"Ugh. It wasn't ambition, but perceived as the natural next step. Back then."

"Hmm..."

Was this the natural progression when a being evolved into Cosmos?

'Still, no matter how complete a Cosmos Seah becomes, I don't think she could replace the Black Administrator.'

Seong Jihan recalled the Black Administrator he had seen at the administrator meeting recently.

He was in the form of a purple helmet, and while his appearance was below expectations.

The void power he contained was immense.

How could Yoon Seah, who had just become a Cosmos, overcome someone like that?

"To think you had such an unrealistic ambition of becoming the Black Administrator... It's good we turned you back into a human."

"Yeah... The train of thought just automatically went in that direction? It seems absurd thinking about it now."

Seong Jihan nodded at her words and recalled the power evaluation report for humanity that the Black Administrator had shown.

It clearly stated that Yoon Seah was humanity's key player.

"What level are you now?"

"Me? 670."

"Oh. That's high."

"My level went up a lot while preparing for the test to become the Arena's owner... But why suddenly?"

"Humanity will soon be assigned to the Gold League."

"Gold???"

At Seong Jihan's words, Yoon Seah's eyes widened.

"But... We were on the verge of demotion even in Silver, isn't Gold too difficult?"

"Urd tried to assign us to the Challenger League, but the Black Administrator mediated it to Gold."

"Ugh. Really...? This is a problem. There are so many rankers who became male half-elves and had their levels reset..."

"The Black Administrator showed me humanity's power evaluation report, and it was quite a sight."

Ziiing...

Seong Jihan displayed the power report for humanity that he had seen at the administrator meeting.

The report that evaluated humanity's current power as the lowest grade in the Silver League.

Yoon Seah looked at it with a hardened expression, but her face softened slightly at the key player section.

"Hmm... I'm the ace?"

"Yeah. Work hard."

"Alright. I'll do my best with a mind to atone. But it says in the note that we should be placed in Gold because of you, uncle... Can you intervene?"

"Well, I'll have to find a way within reasonable limits."

They assigned humanity to Gold, anticipating administrator intervention.

Here, he should meet those expectations.

"Anyway, I'm glad you seem fine. And... sorry for stabbing you last time."

"It's okay. Thanks to that, I came to my senses."

Yoon Seah grinned and stood up.

"As the report says, I'll work hard to become humanity's key player. Uncle, I'm going to train now."

"Alright. Good luck."

"Mm-hmm. Oh, and you don't need to act as Kim Jihun anymore, so come back up to your original home~ I cleaned your room, uncle."

"Got it."

Seong Jihan nodded at those words, then suddenly thought.

'The Kim Jihun profile. Can't I use it in the Space League?'

[Hmm... It would be difficult to participate in Space League matches. There's a limit to how much we can deceive with illusions.]

'That's a shame.'

While he could deceive the elves on Earth under colonial rule.

It seemed using that profile for Space League matches would be too much.

Seong Jihan gave up on his attachment to Kim Jihun and.

'Then I should start visiting the countries that have completed the half-elf summons.'

Starting from the top countries on the list Lee Hayeon gave him.

He began his tour.

* * *

3 days later.

[Seong Jihan's Ultimatum]

[Half-elf summons rate greatly increases after rumors they might follow the World Tree Alliance]

[Countries passing special laws for 'Life imprisonment for refusing summons' are appearing one after another]

After learning of Seong Jihan's firm stance through Lee Hayeon, the leaders of each country did their best to increase the summons rate for half-elves.

Seong Jihan, was now a being no different from a living god to current humanity.

When they realized he was serious about this matter.

To avoid offending him, they mobilized all national resources to summon the half-elves forcibly.

-Are there still half-elves who haven't gathered? They're saying life imprisonment.

-Countries that passed the life imprisonment law have mostly completed 100% summons

-They say 80% summons completion.

-What about the other 20% then?

-Those are countries where public authority doesn't function properly... Like countries in civil war

-But even so, they might become pawns of the World Tree Elves, why aren't they coming out, those crazy bastards ??;

-Seriously!!

While 80% of countries completed the summons and Seong Jihan absorbed all their Blue and returned them to humans.

The chaotic 20% of countries couldn't achieve 100% summons rate despite his ultimatum.

"We-we're sorry, Mr. Seong Jihan... We did our best to summon them, but there are many areas we couldn't reach..."

One of those countries, Sudan in Africa.

Seong Jihan listened to the Sudanese government agent speaking fluent Korean, then looked at the half-elves they had gathered.

An auditorium half-filled with those standing normally and half with those in handcuffs, seemingly forcibly brought in.

The country had made efforts like this, but Sudan's summons rate was only about 70%.

The remaining 30%, did they think they could get away with hiding?

'An example needs to be made.'

After returning all 70% of the gathered half-elves to humans.

Ziiing...

For the first time since his account was restored, Seong Jihan turned on his BattleTube.

"It's been a while, everyone."

As he greeted lightly.

Viewers flooded in.

-Oh...!

-I was surprised to see the BattleTube alert!

-To think Seong Jihan would turn on BattleTube again!!!

-But where is this...?

-That flag... it's Sudan's flag.

-Sudan? Isn't that the lowest summons rate.

-They barely achieved 70%...

-Is this a broadcast to discipline Sudan today?

-Why discipline Sudan; they should catch the half-elves who refused summons.

The viewers who came to watch Seong Jihan's BattleTube.

Seeing Sudan's flag, they began to guess why he was there.

And.

-??? What, I thought he was dead.

-Wasn't the Blue Administrator dead?

-Why are you so insensitive to news, BattleNet is in chaos right now...

-There are still people who don't know the World Tree Alliance evaporated. lol

-Really? Then is all my debt gone?

-Yeah, the World Tree Elves at the loan counters all disappeared too.

The alien viewers who hadn't unsubscribed from him yet.

Seeing Seong Jihan, whom they thought was dead, turn on a broadcast, they doubted their eyes.

And other viewers informed those insensitive to news that the World Tree Alliance had evaporated.

Seong Jihan's channel was soon flooded with incoming viewers, chat messages pouring in.

A moment later.

[Stat 'White Light' increases by 1.]

White Light increased by 1.

'The ability increases just from viewers gathering?'

Was this why the White Administrator told him to turn on BattleTube?

Seong Jihan dismissed the stat increase message for now and looked at the screen.

"Today, I'm going to show you what happens to half-elves who are hiding."

As Seong Jihan took a step forward.

Swoosh!

The surrounding scenery changed instantly.

He arrived in front of a luxurious mansion.

"There are 3 hiding in there."

Snap.

As Seong Jihan lightly snapped his fingers.

Poof...!

The mansion instantly turned to dust and disappeared.

And the people inside.

Floated in the air, their eyes wide with shock at the sudden disaster.

"Se-Seong...!"

Some of them spotted Seong Jihan and were astonished, but.

"The ordinary people can go."

As Seong Jihan lowered his hand, all the people from the mansion gently landed on the ground.

Then, three remained floating in the air.

One male half-elf and two female half-elves.

They were hugging each other, wearing only underwear.

-Hmm... they're almost naked?

-Was the timing of the visit bad?

-Yeah, if he had been a little later...

As viewers lamented the timing of the visit seeing the half-elves' state of undress.

Float...

The three half-elves floated towards Seong Jihan.

"Why didn't you respond to the summons?"

"Uh..."

The half-elves rolled their eyes, not understanding the question.

Ah.

Right, these people probably don't understand Korean.

"Never mind. I'm not curious anyway."

Swooosh!

As Seong Jihan stretched out his hand.

In an instant, the three half-elves returned to being human.

"Aaaaah!"

"I-I'm back..."

From being elves, who were like incarnations of beauty.

And from the young, healthy body of the fake Seong Jihan, though not quite elf-level.

Returning to their original bodies with potbellies and aged, they screamed.

"Now you'll serve life sentences?"

Seong Jihan hardened his expression at their cries and.

"Inventory."

Swoosh...!

He put them into his inventory for now.

-What? People can go into the inventory too?

-Yeah...

-Isn't that normally impossible?

"Don't try this at home, everyone. The person inside could die."

After warning the viewers like this, Seong Jihan continued touring Sudan.

Flash!

With each step, the world changed.

No matter where they were hiding, half-elves were immediately dragged out.

-Why didn't they just quietly get summoned instead of acting up? lol

-For real, life imprisonment in the inventory is harsher than in that country's prison.

-You should come out now...

-Sudan is the 3rd largest in Africa but it's cleared in 10 minutes.

As Sudan's half-elves were quickly dealt with like this.

Seong Jihan spoke.

"I'll let off those who come to the summons location even now. But if you hide and I catch you... that's the end."

As he said this, he smiled coldly.

"Well then, shall we go to the next country?"
