Chapter 537
Sky blue hair?
'Did some of Kim Jihun's hair fall out?'
Seong Jihan frowned as he looked at Kim Jihun's body, which was lying like a doll.
Did a few strands fall out when Yoon Seah touched it curiously on the floor earlier?
But why was he looking for something like hair on the floor?
'That guy's gotten a bit weird.'
As Seong Jihan was puzzled by how Yoon Sejin had changed in 5 years.
[Who came, you say? It was just me and mom.]
[...Really?]
[Yeah. Maybe something that was stuck on clothes fell off somewhere. Dad's acting strange? What are you searching for on the house floor?]
Yoon Seah responded to Yoon Sejin as if asking why he was acting that way.
[And sky blue hair. Is there some problem with that?]
[No... I wondered if a male half-elf had come to the house.]
[Would that be bad? It could be mom's boyfriend.]
[Wh-What?]
[Hey, don't say gross things.]
Somehow, the conversation was heading in an increasingly messed up direction.
[...Well, male half-elves have a terrible reputation. I was just saying to be careful if you're interacting with any, whether it's your mom or you.]
[Why do they have a bad reputation?]
[They say they're quite promiscuous with women.]
Did male half-elves date a lot of women or something?
'Well, I guess there could be relatively more such cases since they've suddenly risen in status.'
Male half-elves who were intensively cared for by the World Tree Alliance.
What was needed to change into this race was the interspecies affinity gift and...
Only 'luck'.
And even after luckily becoming a half-elf.
They didn't need to make any special effort to maintain this status.
Instead, they leveled up just by sleeping in the Hall of Swords.
Their job was to play around while receiving huge salaries from the guild.
Still.
'The cases that guy is talking about seem too extreme.'
The examples Yoon Sejin was listing were...
Not just four or five-timing, but octopus-like cases.
[Ah, okay, that's enough. Is this what you talk about when meeting your daughter after a long time?]
Even Yoon Seah got annoyed after listening to him for a bit.
[A-Ahem... well.]
[Sigh, forget it. Dad, let's meet another time, not today. I'm tired since I just got back.]
[...Ah, alright.]
She cut off Yoon Sejin's heated words and sent him out of the house.
And not long after.
Knock knock.
She knocked on Seong Jihan's door.
"Uncle, you heard the conversation earlier, right?"
"Yeah."
"Why is dad acting like that? I never imagined he'd say something about hair falling on the floor."
Yoon Seah shook her head, and Seong Jihan looked at Seong Jiah behind her.
"Is it because of sis?"
"Me?"
"Maybe he's showing interest in his ex-wife now that you've returned."
"...Maybe so."
There was a fight at the national team dinner on the day she returned, and...
Yoon Sejin had opened the way for Kim Jihun to join the guild at Seong Jiah's request.
Though Seong Jihan hadn't been back long, just looking at the situation...
He could roughly guess why Yoon Sejin was acting that way.
"But still, acting like that over hair fallen on the floor... Isn't that obsession rather than interest?"
"Hmm, sis. Should I erase Yoon Sejin's memories?"
"Uh... Is that possible, too?"
"I can't do it, but I know someone who's good at that kind of thing."
If he asked the Red Administrator, who was good at everything except combat,
He'd probably get an answer related to this.
"Well, it's my first time erasing memories, so I'm not sure how much will be erased."
"...I'm fine. It's an issue between me and him; I'll handle it."
Seong Jihan nodded at Seong Jiah's answer.
If possible, it was best to resolve it without erasing memories.
"Still, tell me right away if there's a problem. I'll delete it immediately."
"Okay."
After it was settled that Seong Jiah would handle the Yoon Sejin issue,
Seong Jihan looked at Yoon Seah.
"So the Void doesn't care what we do as long as we don't unseal Blue and Red, right?"
"Yeah."
"And White has been sealed for a thousand years, unable to interfere in worldly affairs."
"That's right."
"Then even if I destroy the World Tree Alliance, the Void won't care?"
"Hmm... They might even like it? Since you'd be eliminating the World Tree Alliance that always barely avoids crossing the line."
Seong Jihan nodded.

The Void side definitely won't take their side.
Seong Jihan was confident in victory if he could have a final battle with the World Tree Alliance without external variables.
But one thing that bothered him was...
'Though they say the White Administrator was sealed for a thousand years... We need to confirm if that's really true.'
The White Administrator showed an extreme obsession with HeavenNet.
It was uncertain whether he would really stay quiet, even if sealed.
'I should test it out.'
Should he dangle some bait to see if he was still quietly sealed?
Seong Jihan smiled and levitated Kim Jihun's body.
"Then I'm going to do some work."
"Work?"
"Going to raid the World Tree Alliance a bit."
"Ah... Okay. Then we're done for today~"
After ending the party like that, Seong Jihan...
He brought Kim Jihun's body back home and then opened the coordinates of the World Tree Alliance he had saved.
'Well then.'
Crackle...
As a red portal appeared in the air,
Seong Jihan immediately stepped inside.
Then, what appeared beyond the space was the World Tree Alliance's planet.
'Need to add some fuel to Blue and Red.'
So Seong Jihan landed at the location of the World Tree and...
'The level here is weak too.'
Lightly kicked the ground.
Then the surrounding elves burst instantly.
Looking at the World Tree that would be used as fuel, Seong Jihan recalled the Red Administrator's words.
-If you ever need my help, raise your 'Red' stat to 666. Then, I'll be able to open my eyes again.
The Red Administrator said he would stay inside Blue and Red on his own.
The Red stat needed to be raised higher than now to wake him up.
'Should control it well so it doesn't exceed 700.'
Seong Jihan slightly unsealed Blue and Red and...
Stabbed his sword straight into the World Tree.
Then the giant tree was instantly sucked in.
['D-rank World Tree' is absorbed into the netherworld.]
[Blue greatly reduces the absorption efficiency of the World Tree.]
As the World Tree was absorbed, the Red stat reached 690.
Flash...!
A red light flashed from inside Blue and Red.
[Have you awakened me, Blue Administrator?]
Red eyes rose from the center point.
* * *
[The White Administrator has been sealed, you say...]
"That's right."
The red eyes flashed after hearing the story from Seong Jihan.
[White gave Black a justification, so a thousand-year seal is a plausible punishment. However, being sealed doesn't mean he can't observe the world...]
"Is that so?"
[Isn't BattleTube still operating?]
Seong Jihan nodded, and the red eyes continued.
[As long as BattleTube functions, his eyes reach all of BattleNet. He just can't intervene.]
"Speaking of that. Can White really not intervene in worldly affairs at all?"
[What do you mean by that?]
"I'm curious how he'd react if I dangle a tempting bait in front of his eyes."

[Bait...]
Flash.
The red eyes emitted an interesting light.
[Are you thinking of using me as bait?]
"Something similar."
[Despite being a fellow Permanent Administrator, White was weaker than Black. The solution to narrow that gap was Hell... From his position of being sealed by Black, he'd want to contact me somehow.]
Right.
No matter how sealed White was, this would make his eyes roll back.
'If he can intervene in worldly affairs, he'll try to make contact somehow.'
Then, he could use that 'contact' as evidence to tell the Black Administrator to strengthen the seal.
If the seal was so strong that he couldn't intervene even after seeing Red,
Then, he wouldn't have to worry about the White Administrator at all from now on.
Either way,
Dangling bait for the White Administrator seemed worth trying.
[Whether White comes out or not... That's fine. But I have no intention of being bait. I like it here.]
What was so good about being inside Blue and Red?
The Red Administrator who said he would stay cooped up instead of being bait.
Seong Jihan smirked and replied.
"Why would I use you as bait?"
[Then...]
"I'll just pretend to be you."
Whoosh...!
Seong Jihan's whole body burst into flames.
His body was quickly covered in red flames.
"Looking at those World Tree Alliance guys, they were predicting that the Red Administrator would eventually defeat me and break out of the seal."
[A reasonable thought.]
"I should show that in reality."
[The Blue Administrator pretending to be me...]
The red eyes that were flashing while looking at Seong Jihan transformed into fire,
[Then how about making your debut in a stronger place?]
Suggested an opinion on its own.
"A stronger place?"
[Yes. In such a weak planet, it would be strange for your identity to be revealed.]
"Then..."
[You should at least face High Elves for it to make sense that the Red Administrator who subdued Blue would show himself.]
Zing...
Then the red eyes,
[Let's use some authority.]
Displayed the World Tree Alliance coordinates that Seong Jihan had saved.
[10 'Red' stat is consumed.]
Then, as some of the Red stat disappeared,
Grade levels started appearing next to the coordinate numbers that were just displayed on the screen.
Grades from S to D were inscribed, though in a jumbled order.
[Might as well organize it while we're at it.]
The screen turned red for a moment.
Swish. Swish.
The coordinates were neatly organized by grade from top to bottom.
'...Wow, this guy is really convenient.'
The red eyes would be the ultimate secretary if only its intentions weren't so sinister.
Thinking it was truly convenient, Seong Jihan looked at the topmost coordinate.
"Is the one at the very top the strongest among these coordinates?"
[That's right.]
"Then I should go there."
[High Elves will appear even in A-grade. There's no need to go to the strongest place...]
"What are you saying?"
Seong Jihan smirked at the red eyes' advice.
"If you had devoured me, you would've struck the strongest place first, right?"
Crackle...!
As a red portal opened,
Seong Jihan entered it.
Then,
[Abnormal reaction detected]
[Energy reaction, 'Red']
[Level 1 alert issued]
[Portal suppression function activated]
Unlike before,
The other side's warning reactions were appearing from space itself.
The World Tree Alliance's defense system was activated to block the portal from opening, but,
'It's nothing.'
Swish.
As Seong Jihan waved his palm once through the portal,
The red portal that was shrinking opened wide.
Then what appeared was a massive green barrier.
The power contained in the barrier was quite intense, but,
'I can push through it with my body.'
Seong Jihan, engulfed in flames, broke through it in one go.
And lightly landed where the World Tree was located.
