Seong Jihan tilted his head after listening to the words of the Constellation of the Dead Star .
Whats the problem with the Dragon Fla? Initially, you told to receive sponsorship from the Dragon Lord, didnt you?
[Of course I did. The Dragon Lord has a grand goal, so it sponsors its backers generously, but youre not a constellation it would target. It would help you without touching your abilities, thats what I ant. But I didnt say you should obtain the Dragon Fla too.]
Is obtaining this such a problem?
[Yes. The Dragon Fla is an innate stat of the dragon race. But for you to modify it to suit your race Why is the purity of the flas so high?]
Karlein blinked his eyes, staring at Seong Jihans Dragon Fla.
[Whats the stat value?]
150.
[150? And youre producing this much firepower with just that?!]
Whew! Whew!
Karlein spun his skeletal head around, making a fuss.
[As expected from our Leader! Worthy of becoming the Leader. Really! Want to rge with right now? Lets go to the Dead Star!]
Enough. Instead, explain why the Abyss has expanded so much.
[Originally it was a secret, but Why would I hide anything from our Leader?]
Zziiiing!
Laser beams shot from the skeletons eyes, displaying the ranking table for the Bronze League that humanity belonged to.
[First, the race humanity that was expected to go extinct is performing too well. Second, a constellation from the World Tree Elves was killed, so the Green Administrator requested debugging. A constellation cant be caught in the Bronze League, but they were.]
Wasnt the Green Administrator itself full of bugs? The World Tree Elves were also forced into the league by them, and theyre the ones raising issues?
[Well, thats true. The Green Administrator is the highest authority in BattleNet. They cover up their own bugs internally. So The Void Faction wants to gather evidence to sanction them, but the World Tree side is thorough.]
Evidence, huh.
Seong Jihan recalled when he previously turned in the modified seeds of life to BattleNet.
The Ancient Elf had threatened him not to hand it over, and eventually turned hostile when he did.
If such things accumulated as evidence, would the World Tree Elves face sanctions too?
[But those two reasons alone cant cause such an Abyss expansion. The biggest problem is your Dragon Fla.]
The Dragon Fla?
[Yes, the Dragon Fla. Thats an ability the great constellation Dragon Lord bestows upon its bloodline. Regular dragon races cant even possess that stat.]
Its that big of a deal?
[Yes. On top of that theres a tale that the Dragon Fla was originally ant for the Red Administrator to take before being given to the Dragon Lord. Its an exceptional ability.]
The Red Administrator?
Seong Jihans eyes widened.
The Red Administrator.
A new administrator na after the Green Administrator.
The great constellation Dragon Lord was ant to take it This is the scale of an administrator.
Indeed, the administrators must be at the pinnacle of BattleNet.
[Yes. Once the most powerful administrator, but now disappeared, the Red Administrator The great constellations like the Dragon Lord and the Sun King are vying hard to take that vacant position.]
[Note:- Solar King > Sun King]
The Sun King? The one who branded you with a slave mark?
[Yes, that bastard is quite capable too]
Zzziiing
A light flickered on the giant skeletons forehead, revealing words.
[This is the Sun Kings possession]
[Only he can own it]
[Those who covet it shall face the destruction of their three generations]
Despite being a constellation, Karlein had the Sun Kings slave mark branded on him.
After revealing it himself and then making it disappear again,
He continued speaking to Seong Jihan.
[Anyway, anything related to the disappeared Red Administrator is being closely monitored by The Void Faction. But youve acquired the Dragon Fla, which is practically the Red Administrators legacy This is an issue The Void Faction needs to monitor closely.]
But the Dragon Lord is involved with this Dragon Fla, isnt it?
[Its different from what was given to the dragon race. Its rare for other races like humanity to wield such precise firepower with just a 150 stat. The Void Faction has dispatched to find out if you have any connection to the Red Administrator.]
and the Red Administrator?
It was an absurd notion.
Seong Jihan questioned with a perplexed expression, but Karlein continued seriously.
[So, can I perform a test?]
A test?
[Theres a way to determine if youre the successor of the Red Administrator or not. If this test proves youre not the successor, Ill leave right away.]
And if Im the successor?
[Then about 200 Abysses will appear here.]
What if I refuse the test?
[Then 100 Abysses will appear since youre a suspect.]
One hundred Abysses.
Even I would struggle to deal with that.
Seong Jihan nodded his head.
Go ahead. Im confident Im not the successor.
[Oh, good. Im glad youre cooperative. Then]
The skeleton opened its mouth wide.
[Kaaaaack! Weeck! Keck!]
It retched forcefully, spewing forth violet flas from within.
Before Seong Jihans eyes, the violet flas ford into a sphere.
[Co on, touch this quickly.]
Did you have to make those noises? It makes not want to touch it.
[Oh co on. It took imnse effort for to manifest this avatar head and unleash these flas. Normally Id have to open up an Abyss to summon our undead army to the surface. I used up all that power to spit out these flas for our Leader!]
Pik! Pik!
As soon as he finished speaking, most of the undead army behind him collapsed, seemingly drained of power to create the violet fire sphere.
It seed he had indeed exerted himself greatly for this violet fire orb.
Got it.
Seong Jihan nodded and slowly reached out his hand.
Then,
Hwarararak!
The violet flas enveloped Seong Jihans body once,
Srusuru!
Before returning to their original spherical form.
Is it over?
[Ah no, thankfully not! If it matched, the flas would have remained.]
I see?
Swick!
Karlein swallowed the violet fire orb back into his mouth and his eyes flashed.
[Ah yes, its fortunate that our Leader has no relation to the Red Administrator. The Void Faction is highly agitated over the missing Red Administrator.]
Why are they so wary of it?
[I dont know the details, but apparently there was a major clash in the past. Anyway, Leader.]
Tap! Tap!
The black skeleton grinned, clacking his teeth.
[Why dont you rge with now? If youre with , you can beco a great constellation too.]
Hey, enough. Just leave.
[Dont be like that. rge with , beco a great constellation, and lets also challenge for the Red Administrators position.]
The Void Faction really hates that idea. Will they even allow it?
[Its legal for a great constellation to challenge for the administrator position.]
Constellation Great Constellation Administrator.
Is that the progression?
Seong Jihan deduced this from Karleins words and waved his hand dismissively.
Enough, now go clear the Abyss and leave.
[Tch Fine. Keep playing your human gas for now. Eventually youll co to .]
Sssss.
With those words, Karlein started reabsorbing the deathly aura that had spread around.
At least he obediently withdrew after the test ended.
So the Abyss issue is resolved for now?
As Seong Jihan pondered this, he recalled the ssage he saw from the first Abyss.
Hey wait. But what about the Gilgash issue? Dont you need to resolve that?
[Gilgash? Whos that? I was dispatched because of your Dragon Fla. Im already familiar with the Leaders world.]
In the Abyss we just resolved, it said Class 1 Surveillance Target Gilgash is the reason for dispatching the Celestial Bull.
[Class 1 Surveillance Target? If they labelled it that, it must have caused quite an issue. This world has too many bug-level existences]
Is a Class 1 label that big of an issue?
[Yes, if you get labelled Class 1, you get put on the Voids surveillance network. If you had withstood those Void flas earlier, you would have automatically beco a Class 1 Surveillance Target too.]
I see.
[If Gilgash is the reason for the Abyss erging, more could appear here anyti due to it. In any case, my Abyss wasnt related to that it was a request regarding you.]
In the end, of the two newly erged Abysses, one was because of Gilgash.
The other was related to Seong Jihan himself.
I should have kept the Heavenly Tree Descending Spirit around, But if that thing appeared unnecessarily, it would have only brought disaster to Earth.
Who knows where Gilgash is lurking.
Theres no need to unnecessarily establish an Abyss and make only Earths humanity suffer.
As Seong Jihan was recalling the previous events,
Karlein had finished preparing to leave.
[Alright, Im off. See you later, Leader~]
Yeah.
[Ah, and if youre going to beco a constellation, hurry up and ascend. Itll be much easier for you to beco a great constellation if we constellations rge.]
Even if Seong Jihan beca a constellation, it seed Karlein would keep suggesting they rge.
With a sly grin, he disappeared into the darkness.
Hmm
Watching Karlein disappear,
Seong Jihan shifted his gaze to the system window that had remained since earlier.
It displayed:
[Absorb the Void Fla?]
Ever since the voids fla sphere had enveloped him earlier, this ssage asking if he wanted to absorb it had lingered.
If I was related to the Red Administrator, the flas would have remained, he said.
So this ssage asking if he wanted to absorb it into his body, what did it an?
Seong Jihan pondered his connection to the Red Administrator, but no matter how much he racked his brain, he couldnt find any relevant mories.
Let just absorb it for now.
After wavering between yes and no, Seong Jihan selected yes.
[Void Fla has been absorbed.]
[Dragon Fla increases by 10.]
His Dragon Fla, which hadnt increased past 150 from absorbing items, had now risen by 10.
Thats quite a jump.
The gap with the mighty Crimson Thunders 200 stat had narrowed to only 40 now.
He could probably match it by investing his remaining stat points.
For now, rather than Void, I should focus on fusing the Dragon Fla.
The Dragon Fla ability that drew the Voids attention, It would be better to fuse it quickly.
Thinking he should handle it as soon as he got ho,
Slick!
Seong Jihan leapt upwards.
* * *
[Seong Jihan resolves two Abysses in a single day!]
[Through this incident, Seong Jihans presence is revealed once more.]
[The stock market, which had risen sharply when Seong Jihan appeared, soars collectively as the Abyss is resolved.]
The two Abysses that erged simultaneously had posed a major threat to humanitys safety.
Yet one of them vanished as soon as Seong Jihan entered it, in an almost disappointingly simple manner.
-Seong Jihan really cleans up everything;
-The world, BattleNet Association, and governnts were all busy coming up with counterasures when the Abyss appeared As expected, just calling Seong Jihan was the solution.
-It would be nice if he could enter the other one too, but theyre still saying entry is not possible.
-If entry is possible, Seong Jihan will probably sweep that one clean too.
-Ah, I should have held onto my stocks a bit longer Deeply regretting it now.
-Should have trusted Seong Jihan.
Whenever he appeared, Seong Jihan played the role of humanitys problem-solver splendidly.
His presence only grew more prominent as the main BattleNet ga progressed.
And to that extent,
-But what are the other players even doing?
-Seriously, even if you gathered ranks 2-100, theyd probably be useless compared to just Seong Jihan alone.
-They couldnt even enter the Abyss and just trembled outside going how terrifying.
-At this rate, if Seong Jihan goes into long-term training, what will we do The other human players need to step up too.
-Exactly. When will they stop just wanting a free ride?
There was also criticism of the other players essentially doing nothing.
No matter how much Seong Jihan carried them,
It wasnt a good situation for the entire world to just wait around expecting one player to handle every crisis.
Hmm They have a point.
Ah dad. There was nothing we could do! You tried to enter too but couldnt, right?
True, but the whole world is relying too much on Jihan. As a top player, this situation makes reflect.
Arriving ho, Yoon Sejin sighed softly as he saw the internet reactions.
He had known for a long ti that his Seong Jihan would surpass him.
But he didnt expect that not just himself, but all of humanity would beco a burden on Seong Jihan.
We cant keep overly relying on just one player like this.
Having experienced the excessive expectations and dependence of the entire nation when once called the hope of South Korea,
Yoon Sejin was wary of Seong Jihans current situation, no matter how capable he was.
Sohow, even if he couldnt surpass Seong Jihan, he needed to at least beco a supporting force.
But the way things were going recently, even the Sword King seed like just another burden carried on Seong Jihans back.
If I dont want to be a burden, I need to improve more. But Jihans growth rate is just too fast.
Thats why. He doesnt give us any chance to catch up.
Still, we cant stop growing either.
Thats true. Uncle will keep advancing. Well just have to work hard to follow behind him.
After that conversation with his family, Yoon Sejin entered his room to rest.
[The Constellation Primordial King wishes to sponsor player Yoon Sejin.]
[As a condition for sponsorship, the Primordial King requests a conversation with player Seong Jihan.]
[Do you accept?]
Seeing the sudden ssage, he opened his eyes wide.
The Primordial King?
