'Did she... notice my presence?'

Seong Jihan was inwardly greatly surprised as he observed Governor Mia's reaction.

Until now, even constellation-level ancient elves hadn't been able to detect Seong Jihan.

For Governor Mia, who was merely a high elf, to notice his presence.

'When she was tracking me before, she couldn't detect me at all. And my Blue level was lower then.'

Seong Jihan's abilities had greatly increased due to the blue vessel.

As his Blue stat surpassed 1000, his power had become even more formidable.

Yet Mia, who couldn't detect him when he was weaker, could now sense his presence?

"..."

Of course, she wasn't entirely certain and was tilting her head in confusion.

But the fact that a high elf had noticed at all was astonishing.

'First eliminating the flower of the cosmic tree, and now this. The Governor... she's definitely changed from before.'

At that moment,

Yoon Seah spoke to the Governor.

"Is there something over there?"

"No... it's nothing. I think I was mistaken because there are so many blue swords around."

At her words, Governor Mia turned back to look at Yoon Sejin.

Seong Jihan thought as he gradually concealed his presence further.

'I'll need to be more careful around the Governor from now on.'

If possible, he should stay quietly in Kim Jihun's body while in the Hall of Swords.

Thinking this, Seong Jihan looked towards Yoon Sejin.

He was trembling after seeing Yoon Seah arrive here.

"No... these bastards. Not content with trying to kill Jihan, even Seah..."

"What do you mean by killing the Blue Administrator? What are you talking about?"

"...From that ridiculous video you showed me, I remembered past events."

Perhaps because Yoon Seah was here.

Yoon Sejin, who had been silent until now, slowly began to speak.

"Taking advantage of Jihan's absence to colonize humanity, and even creating a male half-elf race to steal his abilities... Going further, you tried to use me to kill Jihan."

Before the twin swords flew towards Seong Jihan.

It seems he had already regained his memories while stuck in the Hall of Swords.

As Yoon Sejin glared at the elves with wide eyes,

Yoon Seah sighed.

"Dad... The one you stopped back then wasn't actually Uncle, but the Red Administrator."

"...? What do you mean? It was Jihan. Not some Red Administrator."

"Uncle... is currently being controlled by the Red Administrator."

"What? Controlled by the Red Administrator...?"

At those words, Yoon Sejin's eyes widened.

"No. That can't be... That's impossible. What I saw was definitely Jihan..."

As he was about to continue explaining why he was certain it was Seong Jihan,

'No. Why is this hyung trying to explain in such detail.'

It would be more convenient if the elves thought that person was the 'Red Administrator' in this situation.

As Yoon Sejin desperately tried to deny it, Yoon Seah quickly stepped in to cut him off.

"No. It's certain. Dad, I've checked everything and I'm cooperating with this side."

"You're... cooperating with the elves?"

"Yes. To get Uncle back from the Red Administrator."

"..."

As confusion clouded Yoon Sejin's eyes,

Governor Mia, who had been quietly listening, asked with calm eyes.

"I'm curious why you thought he was the Blue Administrator. What made you think so?"

"His face... his eyes..."

"Surely you didn't think that just because they looked identical? Didn't you sense any blue energy or anything?"

"There was nothing like that... If there had been, the sword wouldn't have inflicted a fatal wound, it would have been absorbed by him instead..."

"That's right. Blue is his authority after all."

So the basis for thinking it was Seong Jihan was just appearance after all.

As Governor Mia reacted with disappointment, Yoon Sejin sighed deeply.

"...Don't tell me I ruined everything?"

In fact, far from ruining things, Yoon Sejin had actually done Seong Jihan a great service this time.

But he couldn't answer truthfully in front of the elves.

"...Yeah."

As Yoon Seah answered with a regretful expression,

"And I thought I was finally going to help Jihan this time..."

Yoon Sejin dropped his gaze to the floor with a despairing look.

He seemed to be crumbling under the self-loathing of having ruined everything.

'Well... I'll have to tell him he saved me after this is all over.'

As Seong Jihan was thinking this,

"He regained his memories and thought the Red Administrator was Seong Jihan, so he saved him..."

"So that's why the twin swords malfunctioned."

"It's a shame the vice-chairman died because of this."

"It seems there was an error in the Hall of Swords' education due to too many mass-produced blue swords."

"Besides the Sword King, it seems some others have regained their memories too."

The ancient elves seemed to grasp the situation to some extent after hearing Yoon Sejin's words.

"Now that we know the reason, let's report to the Cosmic Tree and carry out the execution."

"No matter the misunderstanding, his crime is a serious offense. Even for twin swords with 35% compatibility, punishment is necessary."

As they were discussing Yoon Sejin's punishment,

"My, talking about execution in front of his daughter is too much."

Governor Mia unexpectedly spoke up.

"While he did cause a big problem... isn't there a way he can live?"

* * *

"Governor. What are you..."

"Have you gone mad?"

"Punishing him is the will of the Cosmic Tree."

The ancient elves looked at the governor with incredulous eyes when she intervened.

Ancient elves and high elves.

In the World Tree Alliance, their positions were as different as heaven and earth.

Even if she was the governor of Earth, which Yggdrasil considered most important recently,

Expressing her own opinion so freely in front of ancient elves was an outrageous overstepping of authority.

If Yoon Seah, an outsider, hadn't been present, it would have been grounds for immediate punishment at the elder level.

But.

"Kids... Don't you have any sense by now?"

As Mia raised the corners of her mouth,

Saaaa...

Her hair all turned green.

"Ah. No..."

"Co-Cosmic Tree!"

Seeing this, the ancient elves were startled and prostrated themselves on the ground.

'...I see. So she was Yggdrasil avatar.'

Governor Mia, who had retrieved the rainbow flower bud and sensed Seong Jihan's presence.

He had thought it wasn't power a high elf could possess, but it turns out Yggdrasil was using her as an avatar.

"All of you, withdraw. I have things to discuss with the owner of the Arena."

"Y-Yes...!"

As the high elves hurriedly disappeared,

Yoon Seah looked at her with surprised eyes.

"Are you... the Green Administrator?"

"That's right. I'm using this body briefly before fully descending to Earth."

Then Yggdrasil looked towards Yoon Sejin.

"Let me be direct. You want to save your father, right?"

"..."

"Or have you already forgotten blood ties, having become the owner of the Arena and transcended humanity? If so, I'll execute him right here."

At Yggdrasil's words, Yoon Seah let out a deep sigh.

"...I want to save him. What do I need to do?"

Smirk.

Yggdrasil smiled brightly at Yoon Seah's answer.

"From now on, you'll need to cooperate with me actively."

"...Active cooperation?"

"First, pick up that sword. Participate in the subjugation of the Red Administrator with me."

"Participate...?"

"I've developed a need to catch the Red Administrator, but this guy is very good at running away..."

Yggdrasil's eyes glowed ominously.

"It seems a fake imitating your face isn't enough. We need to use the real you to shake him up a bit."

"...Then, will you spare my father?"

"Of course. It should be good for you too, right? Save your uncle, save your father."

It seemed Yggdrasil was trying to get Yoon Seah to participate through the problem Yoon Sejin caused this time, feeling limited by the Blue Knights with Yoon Seah's face.

------------------

In the end, what she was really aiming for was Yoon Seah's cooperation.

"...Let me ask one thing."

"You can ask several things."

"My uncle. If we manage to save him from the Red Administrator... will you let him live?"

"Oh my~ Of course~. You know how close I am with our junior. Even colonizing Earth was all for junior's revenge~"

Then she smiled meaningfully.

"Ah. But. I can't release him right away. We need to capture him and remove all remnants of the Red Administrator. You can wait that long, right?"

Yggdrasil emphasized that she would capture the Red Administrator alive.

Seong Jihan felt suspicious about this.

'She didn't seem this fixated on capturing before... Strange.'

Was it because her protection of the original elf was revealed to all last time?

But it seemed she had some purpose in capture beyond simple anger.

'The original elf who stole my eternity and gave me void... Could it be related to that?'

As Seong Jihan was speculating about Yggdrasil's intentions,

Yoon Seah let out a deep sigh.

"I understand. From now on, I'll cooperate with you actively."

"Good choice. Hehe... Though there were some unpleasant incidents, let's forget it all and get along. We'll have a lot to cooperate on when managing the BattleNet in the future."

"...You say that so easily."

Yggdrasil said to get along while threatening her father's life.

As Yoon Seah glared at her,

"You're not fully cosmosized yet. I can see you still have blood ties."

Yggdrasil glanced at her body briefly, then turned her gaze behind.

"And... While actively cooperating. Could you do one more thing?"

"What do I need to do?"

Tak.

As Yggdrasil moved her head once,

Swoosh...!

One of the blue swords stuck in the ground flew over.

'This is... Kim Jihun's blue sword?'

Looks like she has another scheme.

Follow current novℯls on ƒгeewёbnovel.com.

As Seong Jihan was about to respond by entering the blue sword,

"Inject a lot of void into that."

"You mean... rapid growth?"

Yggdrasil was giving instructions to Yoon Seah.

"Yes. I gave you that useless twin sword. I want to test whether to use the 2nd place sword or try to grow this one as much as possible."

"If I inject too much void, it might break..."

"It doesn't matter. We'll extract all the Blue on Earth within a month anyway. If it doesn't grow by then, it's useless."

"A month...?"

A month?

Would it only take that long to absorb humanity's Blue?

Well.

There was already over-investment when mass-producing a million blue swords.

"Until now, we didn't need to mobilize everything in the alliance... Now that I've descended personally, we'll finish within a month."

As Yggdrasil looked around the Hall of Swords saying this,

Yoon Seah slowly nodded.

"...Alright. I'll inject void now."

Ssss...

As intense purple energy rose from Yoon Seah's body,

Soon void was imbued into Kim Jihun's blue sword.

'Uncle... What should I do now?'

Yoon Seah's will was conveyed through this.

'Do as she says. Inject it like you don't care if it breaks.'

'Really?'

'Yeah. This is actually good.'

Kim Jihun's blue sword, pushed out of the central position as a million blue swords were mass-produced.

To become Yggdrasil's sword in the one month time frame, it needed to secure first place firmly.

For that, it needed rapid compatibility growth on a different level than before...

'They provided the opportunity.'

He needed to become Yggdrasil's sword this time definitely.

Thinking this, Seong Jihan manipulated Yoon Seah's void.

Whiiii...

As void swirled in the center of the blue sword, cracks appeared all over the sword.

"Hmm... Is it not possible after all?"

Yggdrasil, who was crouching next to it watching the blue sword, showed a brief look of disappointment.

But.

Swoosh...!

As the void soon reversed and started repairing the cracks in the blue sword,

Her eyes lit up.

"Interesting... How is this sword withstanding the void?"

As she closely observed every movement,

'Why are you staring so much. Really.'

Seong Jihan operated the sword as inconspicuously as possible under her gaze.

After the repair process finished under Yggdrasil's gaze,

'Compatibility... increased about 4%.'

Seong Jihan stopped today's growth at this point.

He wanted to increase it more, but with Yggdrasil staring so intently beside him, this was the limit that wouldn't be noticed.

And.

"I should have done this earlier."

Yggdrasil looked at the grown blue sword with a satisfied expression.

"You. Please be responsible for growing this sword like today."

"...Alright."

"If that blue sword surpasses the 2nd place one, I'll definitely spare your father's life."

Thus, Yggdrasil assigned Yoon Seah the task of growing Kim Jihun's blue sword as well.

It seemed she intended to properly utilize her by holding Yoon Sejin's life hostage.

However.

'That's exactly what we want too.'

The remaining time was one month.

Within that time, he would definitely become Yggdrasil's blue sword.

Seong Jihan decided to use this incident as an opportunity.
