Chapter 527
'If they're so worried about the Red Administrator, I'll just have to show it to them in real life.'
In the process of becoming the owner of Heaven Net, he’d gained the Red Administrator’s power. Thus, with enough stats, he could easily mimic the Red Administrator.
'As long as I give offerings to the netherworld in the Blue and Red, I can keep getting Red.'
He didn't have much Red since he'd spent a lot of stats creating the new 'Kim JiHun' profile, but the stat could be used indefinitely as long as there was a living being in the netherworld.
'Of course, if I keep gaining Red, the seal could break. I need to regulate it.'
JiHan's Blue stat was 999. As long as his Red didn't exceed that number, he could control it, but if he became too engrossed in gaining Red through the netherworld and it accidentally surpassed 999, he risked breaking the seal.
'The amount of Red stat I can perfectly control is about 700… I should only absorb that much through the Blue and Red Sword.'
The only problem was that he needed sacrifices to put into the netherworld. The most efficient sacrifice would be humanity since the Red Administrator was hidden within them.
'I have no intention of doing that… A being with abundant Life Energy… Yes, I should put ‘World Trees’ in.'
The World Tree Alliance was spread throughout the universe and had planted World Trees on countless planets.
'The coordinates of World Tree Alliance planets… I think a quick search will be enough to find them.'
The Battle Net Community could be accessed only by players above a certain level. JiHan used it frequently in the past, but he'd been exiled by Battle Net and had no access.
'If I use Red, I can temporarily access it.'
The Red Administrator, who excelled at everything except fighting, was exceptionally skilled at distorting and infiltrating existing systems. That's why infiltrating something like the Battle Net Community was easy when using Red.
'If I attack them as the Red Administrator, they'll feel the need for Blue even more. Then… I'll take it all.'
JiHan recalled the value of his Blue stat.
Blue: 999 (+1,731 if it increases to SSS-rank)
Due to his Blue rank being at SS, it didn't increase beyond 999. The Blue Sword the World Tree Alliance was creating would be the key to raising its rank.
Blue combined with Eternal was definitely different from the Blue that he'd developed so far. If he absorbed Blue developed through a different route, the rank would probably rise from SS.
'If Blue's rank rises, I can use more Red.'
The Blue controlled the Red. If the stat skyrocketed, the amount of Red that could be absorbed from the netherworld would also increase, and he would become several times stronger.
'I'll definitely be able to subdue Yggdrasil.'
The Green Administrator, Yggdrasil… Excluding the Black and White Administrators, she'd established the most power and couldn’t be taken lightly.
'Since I can keep getting Red by burning World Trees, I can use that to weaken the World Tree Alliance's power. '
Once the Blue Sword was completed, he would increase his Blue stat to SSS and, by using the Blue and Red Sword, he could just cut down the Cosmic Tree and finish off the opponent.
'Good. Let's go with that plan for now.' Having made his plan, JiHan turned his gaze to 'Kim JiHun,' who was enveloped in blue smoke. 'What's needed to create a Blue Sword is probably a highly compatible half-elf.'
He shouldn't be satisfied with the current 20%. If half-elves were the material for creating the Blue Sword, Kim JiHun also had to be part of it.
'Let’s make myself a bit better.'
The blue smoke absorbed into Kim JiHun.
[The precision inspection value is fluctuating.]
[Blue acceptance inspection.]
[Re-inspection of Blue Sword compatibility. Currently at 22%…]
The compatibility jumped up by 2% in an instant.
"Wh-what…?"
"The inspection target's compatibility suddenly increased!"
"How much did it increase?"
"2%!"
"2%…?" Seeing Kim JiHun's rapid growth, the elf high priestess's eyes widened. "We need to proceed with a more precise inspection."
"Should we pull some extra Blue from other departments?"
"Do it."
Busily moving, the elves made a certain call. "Blue… We don't have any surplus?"
"We used up the amount collected from humans during this aptitude test…"
"Ah, there's a bit left in the Eastern Region!"
"Explain the situation to them and bring it over."
He wasn't sure how they were collecting Blue from humans, but it seemed they weren't exactly overflowing with resources either.
Watching Kim JiHun's growth, the elves busily ran around.
Thick blue smoke spread again over Kim JiHun’s body. JiHan considered absorbing more into Kim JiHun's shell but changed his mind.
'Instead of absorbing it into the shell, I should consume it.'
If he broke through the 50% line too easily, the elves probably wouldn't voluntarily offer so much Blue.
'I'll use them to collect the Blue spread among humans as well.'
To save humans from the Red Administrator, he gave them Blue by using his administrator privileges, but they had eventually chosen to erase his records. Well, it was their only choice if they wanted to survive.
'With the Red Administrator gone, there's no need for my power to remain within them.'
The smoke entered Kim JiHun's shell.
[Blue has increased by 11.]
[Blue is at 999. The stat cannot increase any further.]
[The excess will be reflected once Blue's rank increases to SSS.]
'Converted into stats, it wasn't that much.'
He’d absorbed about half of the mist.
"Blue is disappearing rapidly…!"
"Could it be that the compatibility is going to increase again?"
"This is the first time that I've seen something like this happening…"
The World Tree elves made a fuss, and he stopped absorbing.
'That's enough for today.' Although the smoke kept increasing, Kim JiHun's compatibility rate didn't rise again.
"More than half of the Blue disappeared…"
"Is this the limit?"
"Earlier, the value didn’t change for a while and then suddenly jumped."
"Let's observe a bit more."
The elves watched Kim JiHun and discussed.
'The absorption is done, but it doesn't seem like they're going to release me soon.' Having obtained Blue, JiHan decided to use the remaining time. 'I should check the Battle Net Community.'
While the elves' attention was focused on Kim JiHun, JiHan accessed the Battle Net Community from within the shell.

The official Battle Net Community board could be accessed only by ‘Constellation Candidates’ or above.
[40 Red stat has been consumed.]
iHan had used Red to enter.
'So there's a notice.' He inwardly laughed in disbelief upon seeing the top notice.
- World Tree Alliance's Territory (Latest Update - Humanity addition)
It had been many years since humans were colonized, and that was the latest update.
JiHan clicked the post, and hundreds of planetary coordinates popped up. At the very bottom…
'Here's the Earth's coordinates.'
The planetary coordinates of Earth were revealed after humanity became a colony of the World Tree Alliance.
[There are many other territories of the World Tree Alliance that haven't been revealed yet. Official members, please check for the presence of World Trees before invading other planets. If you invade a territory without checking, your home planet might be taken by the Alliance as a pretext.]
At the end of the post, there was a warning not to invade the territory of the World Tree Alliance.
└ Thanks for the update. The places where we can expand are lessening…
└ The Alliance guys have taken all the best spots.
└ They're being too stingy.
└ Why doesn't the World Tree Alliance get sanctioned? What's the system doing…?
└ Why did the humans become a colony? The World Tree Alliance usually wipes out indigenous species and starts from scratch.
└ They probably want to take the legacy of the Blue Administrator.
└ But that administrator was exiled. Is there something left to take?
└ He used to be a hot topic. If it weren't for the World Tree Alliance's interference, I would have gone to Earth to take a look.
'They remember me?' JiHan had been subjected to record erasure among humanity, but not among the ‘Constellation Candidates’ of other worlds.
He used to have the most views on Battle Tube. Even though it had been many years, there were still many viewers who remembered him.
He saved the coordinates from the post.
'Should I search for the Blue Administrator?' On a whim, he searched for his own name.
[Are there any other players who went bankrupt because of the Blue Administrator?]
- I bet on the Blue Administrator and hit the jackpot, then kept betting on lower-ranking species and lost all my GP.
- Blue was a special case. Most species go according to their tier…
- This time, I bet on a promising dwarf and lost all my fortune. Now, I'm back to working as a mercenary…
- I want to be consoled by other fools like me.
- Please, leave a comment…
└ 11111
└ 22222
└ You got greedy and messed up, hahaha. Stop making excuses.
└ Blue was an irregular. Such cases happen once in 1,000 years.
└ I'm sure his case was unprecedented in Battle Net history.
└ I don't know the details, but they said that the Red and Blue Administrators colluded.
└ Really? When I watched Battle Tube, it looked as if he wanted to kill the Red Administrator…
There were many players who couldn't forget the sweet taste of having hit the jackpot after betting on JiHan, so they kept betting on low-ranking species and lost everything.
'I was exiled for colluding with the Red Administrator…?' The reason seemed to have come from Battle Tube, which was under the jurisdiction of the White Administrator.
'The White Administrator is involved in my exile.'
The Green Administrator was a temporary administrator, so she probably didn't have the authority to exile him. Only a permanent administrator like the White could do that.
'I shouldn't turn on Battle Tube while attacking the World Tree Alliance.'
Battle Tube probably worked as the eyes and ears of the White Administrator. JiHan decided to keep a low profile and terrorize the World Tree Alliance without drawing attention.
As he was gathering necessary information through the community…
"There's no further progress."
"It seems we should end it here for today."
"Okay. Let's conclude the inspection of player 'Kim JiHun'."
The roots wrapped around his body again.
'So it's over.'
Thud–!
The roots placed his unconscious body in front of the Governor-General's office. Beside JiHun, an elf appeared. Rather than the elf who first greeted him, she was a high-ranking priestess with green hair.
"Player Kim JiHun, wake up." She tapped Kim JiHun's body with her foot. When he didn't wake up, she gave him a light electric shock.
"Ugh…!" Startled, JiHun woke up.
"It's the first time I've seen someone fall asleep during a precise inspection."
"Sorry… I suddenly lost consciousness…"
"Did you lose consciousness without realizing it?"
"Yes…" He bowed his head apologetically.
The elf high priestess calmly stared at him. "That might be related to the rise in compatibility."
"Huh…? What do you mean?" JiHun's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Congratulations," she said. "Based on the result of the new inspection, you've been designated as a 'Special Management Target' by the Governor-General's Office."
