Chapter 407
Chapter 407
"Those elves, they're called experience points?"
"Yes."
The elf with green hair smiled mischievously.
"You can kill as many as you want. I'll keep resurrecting them."
"Resurrect... is that possible? Here?"
"I descended through my avatar, so it's possible in this Sky Forest map."
"...You, are you Yggdrasil?"
"That's right."
Yggdrasil twirled her hair with her finger.
"To manifest in the fragile body of an elf, there were quite a few sacrifices."
"Sacrifices..."
"We used up almost all the life force of the World Tree installed in Colony No. 55. Humans must be happy, right? One of the top teams has fallen."
"Falling in rank?"
"Yes. Because the World Tree will wither."
So that's why the Elf Supervisor had such a gloomy expression in the control room.
Sung JiHan looked at her with sunken eyes.
"...What are you planning?"
"Oh my. This time, I really mean well."
"Huh. Giving up the World Tree for the sake of my level up?"
"To me, the World Tree and the colony are just burdens. Giving up one is a minimal loss in my world."
As Yggdrasil gestured behind her.
Crack! Crack!
The bodies of the elves made a sound as they shattered from the inside.
And not long after.
Poof!
From within, a violently wriggling heart popped out.
Sss...
Floating the organ that was dripping blood, Yggdrasil lined up in front of Sung JiHan.
"Now, I've made it easier for you to kill me. If you swing your sword once, the heart will burst."
"Weren't elves beings that could regenerate even without a heart?"
"That's right. But if I tell you to die, you have to die."
Swish.
Yggdrasil raised the corner of her mouth and brought her finger to the heart.
Boom!
The organ burst like a balloon.
Blood burst out, dyeing Yggdrasil's face red.
And at the same time.
Saaa...
One of the elves behind her suddenly turned into dust and disappeared.
"Well. Just touching it will kill you. It's quite convenient, isn't it?"
"There's no need for you to make it easier for me to kill you."
"Now that I've manifested like this, I have to level up enough. I have to kill at least ten thousand, right?"
"Ten thousand?"
"Yes. Hmm... is ten thousand too little? If I push it, I think I can go up to a hundred thousand."
With a smirk, Yggdrasil continues to encourage Sung JiHan to execute the elves while resurrecting them.
- Look at that loss of sanity lol
- That elf is quite something...
- I was annoyed by those elves, but that's not a pleasant sight to see.
- Nah, don't you remember they were trying to execute us? Sympathy for the elves is a luxury.
- Seriously, if one of the World Tree elves goes down, isn't it a huge gain for us? Lol
-But can I believe in this Yggdrasil talk...?
When the viewers are debating whether it would be better to accept or reject that proposal.
"Why go to such lengths? What story do you want to tell me?"
"To go to such lengths... Is this it? It's just an experience point gift."
Yggdrasil questioned Sung JiHan as if puzzled.
She couldn't understand what was so strange about giving someone an elf's heart.
From her perspective, is it not insignificant that they are dying like that?
"Well, she is the leader of the world tree elves, so it's probably not a big deal...."
Thinking that way, Sung JiHan looked at the heart that was bouncing in front of her.
"It's only a week until we go to the Abyss."
Just touching it would make the elf's heart burst.
For Sung JiHan, breaking 10,000 of them was an easy task.
"At the current leveling speed, I won't reach 500 by the promised time, so breaking this is the easier way."
By bursting the elf's heart, killing 10,000 of them.
It was not a burden for Sung JiHan.
Because of them, humanity was relegated to last place in the league in the previous life.
If she continuously bursts the hearts as Yggdrasil hands them to her.
She can easily raise her experience points and see beyond level 500, which was her goal.
One.
"I can't trust the goodwill of the elves."
No matter who she interacts with, she was told not to see them through rose-colored glasses.
When dealing with the world tree elves, she had to doubt them unconditionally.
"Shall we try it once?"
Sung JiHan brought the wriggling heart closer.
A very faint sense of vitality.
If she bursts it, will the main body's vitality disappear and the elf die?
But it's too weak, even if the vitality is weak.
"Shall we investigate?"
Sung JiHan amplified her senses and carefully examined the life force contained in the heart.
His territory expanding in an instant.
The life force contained in the heart was extending very subtly towards Yggdrasil.
Sung JiHan felt this and looked at her.
"Do you not burst it?"
Yggdrasil asked with a smile.
"I learned to doubt the goodwill of the elves."
"Hmm... You haven't been in the Battle.net for long, but you're quite knowledgeable about information."
She didn't deny it either.
As the realm of the soul reached Yggdrasil.
She twirled her hair around.
"Well, you've passed the first stage."
"The first stage?"
"Yes. It's a test called 'I don't just drink anything given by others.'"
Surprised.
Yggdrasil licked the blood on the corner of her mouth and continued speaking.
"Well then, go investigate. What's strange."
"You don't deny that you played a prank on the heart."
"It's obvious, do I need to deny it? The territory has expanded like that too."
She immediately understood it was the realm of the soul.
Sung JiHan continued to track the life force.
By the time the life force reached Yggdrasil, it had completely disappeared.
"Is it because I'm too weak?"
Sung JiHan looked towards his heart and gently infused his own life force into it.
Then, the vitality of his heart became clear and distinct.
Unlike before, this power did not disappear as soon as it reached Yggdrasil.
It was steadily moving towards a clear goal.
That place was none other than the green hair of Yggdrasil's avatar.
"So it was connected to this."
Hmm...
A green hair strand caught in the realm of the soul.
"Hehe..."
Yggdrasil only watched with a smiling face, not interfering.
And then...
Snap!
The hair strand was cut off.
"Oh my... You were able to accurately determine which hair strand it was and where it was?"
Yggdrasil let out a joyful exclamation.
"I'll give you a second stage reward."
Shooosh!
Her body, which promised a reward, began to shrink rapidly.
Boom! Boom!
At the same time, the hearts exploding from all directions and the elves turning into dust.
The trees of the Sky Forest also withered and twisted rapidly.
"The opposing team has been annihilated."
"The first match will soon end."
A message appeared stating that the game would soon end.
---
-?? What's going on?
-The game ended when the hair strand was cut?
-This is so anticlimactic...
The reactions of the viewers who were watching the first match were unanimous.
What is this?
Sung JiHan and Yggdrasil confronted each other, exchanged words a few times, and then suddenly, when a strand of her hair was cut, her body shrank and the game ended.
Although Sung JiHan had finished games in a decisive manner before, it wasn't like there hadn't been games that ended quickly.
But still, he had never seen a game end so absurdly.
However...
-But why isn't it ending?
-They said it would end soon earlier.
-Shouldn't it end immediately when the opposing team is annihilated?
-Yeah...
-There's something strange about the game, seriously.
-Is it because Yggdrasil has descended... What kind of nonsense is she doing?
Even though the opponent had been annihilated, the clue of "soon" was different.
As the viewers felt unease while seeing that the game was not ending, Sung JiHan, who had faced Yggdrasil, was experiencing firsthand why the clue of "soon" was added to the game ending.
"The power of Yggdrasil is coming in through the same route that I explored with the life force."
[Stat 'Eternity' has increased by 5.]
The life force that the green-haired elf possessed.
Through the path Sung JiHan had discovered, it was entering Sung JiHan's eternity as it was.
[The stat 'Eternity' has increased by 5.]
Eternity, which was difficult to raise, had already increased by 10.
It was good that his abilities had improved, but...
[Hello?]
In the world tree contained within Sung JiHan...
[I'm glad to become one.]
The voice of Yggdrasil could be heard.
"...Was this your purpose?"
[No. I came here to have a real conversation. I can't openly talk with you, who has the Administrator's eyes installed. I have to come inside.]
"What do you want to talk about?"
[Wow, this world tree. It grew so well. It looks delicious. Sung JiHan, instead of doing this, how about becoming one with me for real? I grew the tree so well, didn't I?]
In the eternity, Yggdrasil frolicked cheerfully.
Upon hearing those words, Sung JiHan frowned deeply.
Coming inside like a parasite and now wanting to become one.
[If you hand over the sovereignty of eternity, I will start immediately. Yggdrasil's gardener. How about it? Isn't it cool?]
"Is that your main point? I'll kick you out right away."
[Oh my... Why are you refusing like this? I offered to make you the Administrator's companion.]
Even after repeatedly provoking Sung JiHan, Yggdrasil...
[Oh well... You still won't come over... I understand. I'll bring up the main point. Don't you want to stop the Red Administrator?]
"...Where, tell me."
Is this her main point?
While saying that, Sung JiHan was searching for a way to deal with the foreign substance that had entered the eternity within her.
'Should I burn it with holy fire?'
In the state where the battle tube was turned on, it was too obvious, so she refrained from using holy fire.
But it will burn inside my body, so others won't notice.
[Now send your determination to eternity. Let the White one find out.]
"Understood. So, what's the way to stop the Administrator?"
While Sung JiHan was buying time like that, trying to drive Yggdrasil out of her inner self...
[Do you really have a plan to stop it?]
"If you're going to play games, I'll burn you right now. Get to the main point."
"Ah~ I understand. Your fire is threatening. Let's get to the point right away."
Yggdrasil said it was going to the main point, but started with the introduction again.
[But before that, first. Don't you want to know who the 'Red Administrator' is?]
"The Red Administrator... I suspect it's a god."
[A god... Of course, of course, one of the candidates for the Red one. However, this time, as humanity evolved, I kidnapped and imprisoned them, experimented on them, and came to a new conclusion.]
When did this guy kidnap people?
Sung JiHan furrowed her brows and asked.
"So what's the conclusion?"
"Humanity! The entire human race itself was the Red Administrator!"
"...What nonsense are you talking about?"
What kind of story is this?
Humanity is the Red Administrator?
"Sure."
"What's the basis for your certainty?"
"I helped with this before, related to this. The Red Administrator."
"...What?"
Yggdrasil, in such a cheerful voice, revealed to Sung JiHan that it was an accomplice.
