'This just makes me want it less.'
Seong Jihan thought as he deleted all the messages telling him to get White Light.
Seeing how the other side was forcing him to take the ability, he was certain there would be disadvantages if he accepted it.
'Collecting all stats will be enough even after slaying Yggdrasil.'
Thinking that, he played the video from earlier and proceeded to upload it.At first...
[Ha. Red Administrator. You're uploading a video? Do you think I'll allow that?]
[Yes. If you want to use BattleTube, accept White Light. If you use the power of light, you can perfectly utilize BattleTube.]
[Or how about cooperating with me again? Then...]
The White Administrator sent such messages, trying to prevent the upload, but.
[This is...]
[This. This. This. This.]
[She was alive? Her?]
[Is this video real? No. It is real. It is. Yggdrasil. Instead of using an already dead master as a World Tree elf, were you actually trying to revive her?]
The White Administrator seemed to have seen the video.
Messages popped up chaotically here and there.
Among them, Seong Jihan focused on the last message that appeared.
'Master?'
Was that circular elf Yggdrasil's master?
If she was Yggdrasil's master, this elf must have been at the level of an Administrator.
'Was she a temporary Administrator from the previous generation?'
[As far as I know, there was no such Administrator in the previous generation. Of course, the records I looked into aren't everything... But I, who also resisted the term system, looked into every case I could.]
'Hmm. Really? What happened to all the previous Administrators?'
[They all disappeared within a thousand years after retirement... Probably buried in the Void.]
So after retirement, the remaining lifespan was only guaranteed up to a thousand years.
'Then you should have died long ago, but you escaped well.'
[Haha... After seeing my seniors die like that, how could I just wait for death? Of course, I set out to find a way to survive.]
So that was why you ended up trapped in the Blue and Red while creating things like the Hell.
As Seong Jihan was briefly listening to the story about temporary Administrators.
Sss...
The message in front of his eyes changed again.
[It's a useless act.]
[One marked with the Seal of Void cannot be reversed.]
[If you had been marked with the Seal of Void, you would have been buried in self-generating Void no matter how much I protected you.]
What was the Seal of Void?
The Red Administrator kindly answered Seong Jihan's question.
[It's a seal that self-generates on the body when the term ends. Once this appears, the temporary Administrator must pass on their authority to the next generation Constellation and prepare for retirement.]
'And you ran away before that?'
[That's right. Actually, the Seal of Void doesn't self-generate on the body, but the Black Administrator comes and stamps it. Since temporary Administrators are no match for him, they didn't even know he was coming and just thought it self-generated.]
'Hmm...'
That Black guy must be really strong.
Even the temporary Administrators, who should all be quite capable, didn't even notice him coming.
But as Seong Jihan was wondering again why White wasn't controlling this...
[However, this struggle, the act of uploading, interests me as well...]
[There may be no one who remembers now, but she is BattleNet's greatest criminal. It would be good for her to be publicly disgraced...]
[Fine. I'll allow this one video to be uploaded.]
Then.
The channel name automatically changed to 'Red Administrator'.
And a video started uploading.
[The true identity of the elf the Green Administrator is dying for...!!!]
The video title that automatically appeared on BattleTube.
And on the main screen, there was a big caption saying [Is this for real?!]
'...Is this guy really a permanent Administrator?'
Seong Jihan had just uploaded the video.
But the White Administrator had added a title and caption to the BattleTube video on his own.
However, the words he wrote seemed rather cheap.
[Since it's a channel in my name, it seems even more so... But the views are certainly rising.]
As the Red Administrator said, whatever trick the other side had pulled.
Even though the channel had just been created, the views quickly surpassed 100,000.
In fact, a video uploaded so recently shouldn't be exposed like this.
But perhaps because the BattleTube operator had intervened, the rising speed was tremendous.
'But what I'm really curious about is the identity of that elf.'
He learned a few facts through contact with the White Administrator.
The ‘circular elf' was Yggdrasil's master.
Considering she was marked with the Seal of Void, she must have been at least a temporary Administrator.
And.
'He said she was BattleNet's greatest criminal.'
So the White Administrator was abusing his BattleTube operating authority to disgrace her publicly.
The White Administrator didn't seem to be favourable towards the circular elf.
'But with just this information, it's impossible to figure out who the circular elf is.'
More clues would be needed to uncover her identity.
Of course, the White Administrator seemed to know her...
[If we ask him, he'll just demand we hand over HeavenNet authority, so I'll reinvestigate the information on previous generation Administrators separately. The circular elf... Haha. To think such a being existed.]
'Okay. Look into it. I'll try asking the Void side too.'
[Understood.]
Since the Black Administrator didn't seem likely to provide information kindly.
While not expecting much, Seong Jihan decided to make an inquiry later through Yoon Seah.
By the time that conversation ended.
The video views had already soared to several million.
'No way... Did they put it on the main screen of all BattleTube users? How has it reached millions when it was just uploaded?'
The view inflation was no joke when the operator was pushing it.
Thinking that, Seong Jihan opened the comment section.
The top comment was by the Green Administrator Yggdrasil herself.
-Red Administrator, you've crossed the line again. You... I won't kill you cleanly.
‘Won't kill you cleanly, huh.’
Seong Jihan smirked at that.
'A bit late for that.'
Whatever circumstances Yggdrasil had, after what she did to Earth.
She was his main enemy.
Not killing cleanly went both ways.
Thinking that, Seong Jihan looked through the comments being posted in real-time.
-What is this... Is this real???
-But the Red Administrator's channel being created, is this even allowed :(
-It's beyond the level of being allowed? This is definitely being pushed by the BattleTube operators, otherwise how could a video uploaded 10 minutes ago reach 5 million views. lolol
-If it's the operator, isn't that the White Administrator? Did White and Red join hands again?
-But the video itself is shocking... Who is that elf?
-So there was an elf the Green Administrator cared for this much;
The reactions were largely divided into two groups,
Those suspecting White helped Red's video become trending,
And those expressing curiosity about the elf's identity after seeing the video content.
Comments were pouring in, split between these two main reactions.

'There doesn't seem to be any useful information about the elf.'
Judging by the White Administrator who said no one remembered her now.
Was she an ultra-ancient being even the current Constellations don't know about?
'There's nothing to gain here for now.'
Seong Jihan came to that conclusion after looking through comments for about 10 minutes.
For information about the elf, he'd have to wait for the Red Administrator to inquire.
'Well, I'll turn this off for now.'
Zing. Zing.
Before closing the BattleTube screen, persistent messages to accept White Light appeared again.
But Seong Jihan turned them all off with now-familiar hand movements. He then looked at what he was holding in his left hand.
There was a blue vessel with Gilgamesh's face engraved on it.
* * *
"This guy really exists in all sorts of states."
Now not even human, but a vessel.
In terms of sheer will to live across the entire universe, this guy might be the strongest.
Seong Jihan thought Gilgamesh was tenacious as he looked at his pained expression.
'I wonder if I should just smash it like when I absorbed the fragment before.'
Seong Jihan recalled absorbing the Blue Vessel from Gilgamesh's fragment, but then changed his mind.
'Before smashing it, I should try taking out the head first.'
He opened his inventory and took out Gilgamesh's fragment.
Then.
"Ugh. Uugh... N-No... Not there... I'll behave well. Please, just don't put me back in there..."
Gilgamesh's head was trembling with a terrified expression.
This guy was completely traumatized.
"I don't plan on putting you back for now, so look at this."
"This...? Oh. This is..."
"It's your main body that I got from Yggdrasil. Though it's become a vessel now."
"..."
At those words.
Dong. Dong...
Gilgamesh closely examined the vessel engraved with his own face.
"Wait. May I speak with it?"
"You can talk to it?"
"Somehow, I feel like I can."
He asked Seong Jihan's permission with a strange certainty.
"Sure. Go ahead. I'm going to destroy it anyway, but we've had a long relationship, so I should at least let you say your last words."
"...Alright."
Dong. Dong.
As the head approached the vessel.
Thwack!
The head stuck firmly to the vessel.
Gulp. Gulp.
And in that state, after opening and closing his mouth several times, Gilgamesh's head spoke with an unbelieving expression.
"Main body... Is that really true?"
"What did it say?"
"No. You... Are you really my main body? I can't believe it. If it were me, I would never make such a choice. How could I, Gilgamesh, give up on life?"
Gilgamesh's head was getting excited, almost spitting as he spoke.
Wondering what on earth he had heard to get so worked up.
Seong Jihan's eyes widened as he heard the last thing he said.
"Gilgamesh is giving up on life?"
"Th-That's right... The main body. It wants to die."
"That guy?"
Gilgamesh, who had struggled to live no matter what situation he was in.
The one whose will to live could be considered top-tier in this universe.
He was quietly asking to be killed without even putting up a fight?
"That's quite surprising... What exactly is he doing in that vessel now?"
"That... It would be better if you saw for yourself."
A light spread from Gilgamesh's head.
Ziiing...
It soon formed into a screen.
['Blue Vessel' Completion Attempt #5,436,834]
Then, an electronic board with Elvish writing appeared on the screen.
Soon after, an image of Gilgamesh contained within a tree appeared.
It wasn't the rainbow-colored World Tree where the circular elf was stored.
But it seemed to be at least a B-grade World Tree, with Gilgamesh alone inside.
He was staring blankly into space with a tired face.
And not long after.
Ziiing...
His body seemed to be scanned once.
New text appeared on the electronic board.
[Comparison Target - Seong Jihan: Below Standard]
[Comparison Target - Ashoka: Below Standard]
[Retry]
Boom!
As soon as "Retry" appeared, Gilgamesh's body exploded.
And just as life force seemed to rise.
['Blue Vessel' Completion Attempt #5,436,835]
The attempt number increased by 1.
"Is this what's happening inside this vessel?"
"...It seems so. The inside of that Vessel is a small world. There, the main body is infinitely destroyed and regenerated. It's probably comparing it with you or Ashoka, who created the Blue stat."
"Huh. Doing that won't create Blue that wasn't there before."
"That is to complete the container, the vessel. The Blue to be contained will probably be brought from elsewhere..."
Gilgamesh's fragment spoke in a gloomy voice as he watched his main body regenerate and explode.
The number of attempts was certainly mind-boggling.
'...And with each explosion. The vessel develops just a tiny bit.'
The development of the vessel that only he, who handles Blue better than anyone in this world, could notice.
The World Tree Alliance's experiment successfully completed the vessel.
If left alone a bit longer, an even better item would probably be produced.
But.
'...At my level, this is enough.'
Even if he destroyed this vessel now, he could achieve his desired goal sufficiently.
Automatic explosion and regeneration.
There was no need to leave that infinite repetition continuing.
"I understand. I'll destroy it right away."
Crack...
As Seong Jihan clenched his hand.
The world inside the screen began to collapse rapidly.
