Chapter 512
A completed Vessel was the Gift the Red Administrator needed to recreate the netherworld.
If Gilgamesh possessed the Gift, handling things would have been easier, but unfortunately, the Blue Administrator had completely shattered it. The remaining Vessel belonged to the void, so he didn't feel good tampering with it.
'Still, just in case, shall I check?'
The Red Administrator, taking the form of a red giant, transformed back into an eye. In an instant, he leaped through space and arrived in Seoul.
'So it's there.'
Red light flashed from the eye, and the Red Administrator soon confirmed Sae-ah’s appearance.
"Wait… why isn't the screen showing? Did something happen to Uncle?" she mumbled to herself.
“Only a specific channel on Battle Tube was suspended…? I'll inform the Black Administrator,” the Messenger said.
"Huh? Why are you going to consult the Black Administrator?"
“Battle Tube falls under the jurisdiction of the White Administrator. If the problem isn't an entire server but only one channel… She can be considered to be involved. This gives the Black Administrator a reason to intervene.”
"Can't you just intervene before?"
“That's a bit hard… Hmm…?” The starfish tried to turn around.
The Red Administrator hastily retracted the red light. He couldn't let the void know of his plan yet.
'They sent the Messenger to the Void's Vessel?'
She already had a hat assigned. With the Messenger by her side, she was receiving a lot of care from the void. Taking her away without being caught would be impossible.
'I need to find another way.'
There wasn't much time. The White Administrator was sealing the Fight Star, but once the Messenger contacted the Black Administrator, they would also start acting.
The White Administrator said she had no intention of confronting the Black Administrator until the netherworld was built, so he wouldn't receive more help from his 'Great Patron'.
'Hmm… Perhaps I should reverse the order of operations.'
The Red Administrator, after thinking for a while, found a solution.
Flash—!
Light sparkled from the eye; he leaped through space again and arrived in the sky over Washington D.C, the capital of the United States.
The Red eye looked downward at the bustling tourists.
"Is this it? The place with the invitation monument?"
"Yes. I heard people calling it an obelisk, but it really does look like one."
"I heard this is the most famous tourist spot in Washington, even more so than the White House… They weren't joking at all."
People gathered to take photos at the 'Battle Net Invitation' that had descended to Earth when humanity was first invited to participate. Rather than an invitation, it was more like a huge monument made of an unidentified ore.
‘Battle Net Invitation’ was written on all sides.
"It says in English… 'We invite Earthlings to Battle Net.'"
"If our country ranks 1st in the world, will it change to Korean?"
"There's no way even that would change, right? Wasn't it just the stream and system interface that would change?"
"You never know. Maybe the invitation will move to Seoul."
"But Mr. Sung is no longer a player. Can we reclaim 1st place despite that…?"
"Well, that's true. Is Battle Net still not working?"
"Huh? It seems that it only affects Mr. Sung's channel."
Korean tourists were talking while looking at the Battle Net Invitation.
"Huh…? Th-the inscription on the invitation… It turned red." One of the tourist's eyes widened in surprise.
"Huh? You're right."
"What…? Did the color always change?"
The phrase 'We invite Earthlings to Battle Net' was glowing in white before but slowly turned red in a cascading effect from top to bottom.
"Is the color supposed to change?" Some of the tourists pointed at the 'invitation' and asked the American guides.
"This is my first time seeing this happen. It might be dangerous, so could you please step back for a moment?" They looked at the reddened letters and hurriedly dispersed the tourists.
Eventually, only the U.S. government officials and the people sent by the Battle Net Association were left.
"The letters keep getting redder… Did you contact the Association?"
"They're sending researchers. They also asked if it changed to Korean."
Were the letters changing because Korea achieved 1st place? However, only the colors changed, and there were no other noticeable changes.
The people of the Battle Net Association misunderstood.
"No, it seems that we're still the top-ranked country."
"Perhaps JiHan defeated the Wandering Martial God, thereby adding points to Korea?"
"The letters on the invitation are changing instead of the system? He's an administrator, so there shouldn't be a nationality bonus…"
People continued their futile speculations as the letters on the invitation kept steadily turning red.

“Ugh…” The giant serpent, with countless constellation equipment stuck all across his body, had lost his sanity. He could only groan instead of speak, but the power he possessed couldn’t be taken lightly.
'I'm glad I destroyed most of his cards with the Galaxy Sword Scar… If I hadn't, I would already be dead.'
If the Wandering Martial God had lost his sanity and not his power, even he would have struggled to win.
JiHan watched the Wandering Martial God trying to regenerate his wounds.
Swoosh—
Some of the constellation equipment embedded in the serpent's body emerged.
'Here he comes again.'
The weapons floating in the air shimmered with intense light.
Paaaaf—!
Fierce strikes poured forth from each piece of equipment.
'All of them are attacks of the Three Talents Techniques.'
Since JiHan had inherited part of Dongfang Shuo's martial talent through the Ultimate Wandering Martial God Slayer, it wasn't particularly impressive.
The only problem was that the attacks were excessively strong. Even if he tried to evade, he was being pressured from all sides.
JiHan had no choice but to clash with them.
Ultimate Wandering Martial God Slayer Shadow Secret Technique: Shadow Soul Vortex.
A vortex made of void appeared from the tip of the Yin-Yang Demon Sword, and part of the Wandering Martial God's attack was sucked into it. Even if the Marital God had an advantage in power, there was a definite gap between their martial arts.
'Seeing how he took all of Dongfang Shuo's martial arts but could only use the Three Talents, he's certainly limited.'
Although he'd polished the Three Talents a lot, delivering a meaningful blow to JiHan with just that was hard.
“Kaaah…!” The serpent opened its mouth wide, red light began gathering inside and shot toward JiHan—the Annihilation beam that the Red Administrator used.
'This is threatening.'
Whir—!
JiHan quickly dodged Annihilation, but its power was so strong that he couldn't avoid his being scorched.
Swoosh—
He thought as he regenerated his burning skin. 'Even though Blue has an advantage over Red in terms of compatibility, blocking it is tough.'
When Dongfang fought the Red Administrator, he'd easily sliced him by using Blue. However, what the Wandering Martial God was using was, for some reason, hard to defend against in the same manner.
'Is something else mixed into the Wandering Martial God's Annihilation?'
The Wandering Martial God's rampaging energy was running wild; even that Annihilation couldn't fully unleash its original precise power.
If they possessed equal power, he could have unleashed an Annihilation to overwhelm the Wandering Martial God.
Was it because the opponent was too strong? The unrefined nature of his Annihilation made it harder to defend against.
'Still, stalling isn't hard.'
The martial arts that the Wandering Martial God, who had lost his sanity, was executing through the constellation equipment had all originated from Dongfang.
JiHan, having inherited part of his martial talent, could easily handle it.
The Annihilation emerging from the serpent's mouth was powerful, but even that was manageable from a distance. No matter how much the Marital God rampaged and poured out power, JiHan was confident he wouldn't die.
The Wandering Martial God wouldn't be able to sustain it forever. Amplifying power through constellation equipment and the berserk state would eventually end.
'I don't have the luxury to delay things indefinitely…'
If it weren't for the Red Administrator, it might have been different, but he'd said that he had many things to do. Hee couldn't afford to continue wasting time fighting the Wandering Martial God.
'Let's use more power and switch to offense.'
Swoosh—
Cracks began appearing on JiHan's face as the void of the Yin-Yang Demon Sword greatly amplified.
“KAAA…!” The Wandering Martial God continued a furious offensive barrage.
'It seems that he's copying the Storm Sword…' He was really heavily indebted to Dongfang.
JiHan threw himself into the enemy's offensive attacks and approached the serpent's body. Due to the Wandering Martial God's strong resistance, blood poured from his wounds, but JiHan succeeded in closing the distance somehow.
He used the Yin-Yang Demon Sword.
Tsss—
“KAAAK…!” The Wandering Martial God, cut in half, let out a scream. Since he’d lost his sanity, he was nothing more than a huge monster.
JiHan didn't stop there and kept attacking.
Psss—
One of the constellation equipment embedded in the serpent turned into dust and disappeared.
Flash—!
The serpent was covered in white light and moved off into the distance.
Swoosh—
It quickly started to regenerate.
'This…' Just when it seemed like he'd been completely sliced, a white light activated.
Not even JiHan could stop it—the space shift activated on the Wandering Martial God was a force of a different level.
JiHan looked up at the veil of light over the sky. "White Administrator, if you're going to intervene like this, why don't you just come out and fight?"
Rustle, rustle—
The veil slowly moved. It seemed that the White Administrator was only going to intervene whenever the Wandering Martial God was about to die.
'At this point, it's as if she'd made her position public; for some reason, she hasn't come down directly.'
Did she have some kind of restriction?
JiHan looked at the veil for a moment.
“Grrr…”
He then turned his gaze to the Wandering Martial God, who had become a beast. The regenerated serpent, unlike earlier, had completely used a piece of the constellation equipment. More specifically, the White Administrator had used it.
If he kept slashing the serpent, all of the constellation equipment would eventually be destroyed, and that serpent would die.
'The only problem is that there are too many.'
There were over a hundred weapons stuck across the serpent's body. If he kept fighting, he might be able to win, but then he wouldn't be able to stop what the Red Administrator was plotting.
'A normal exchange of attacks won't be enough.'
To quickly subdue the enemy, he needed to take extraordinary measures.
“KAAAAK…!” The serpent opened its mouth again, and a red light rose from its throat. Not even Blue could fully block that Annihilation beam.
Normally, he would have dodged the attack.
'I guess I'll have to use the Golden Red Wheel of Fortune.'
He couldn't delay things any longer. JiHan bit his lip and charged into Annihilation. What he was ultimately aiming for was the serpent’s giant mouth.
'Let's subdue him from inside.'
Fwoosh—!
He was engulfed in the Annihilation beam and burned. When the left side of the face had completely collapsed and filled with void, he entered the serpent’s mouth.
