Chapter 537
'Did Kim JiHun lose some hair?' JiHan frowned as he looked at Kim JiHun's body, lying still like a doll. Some strands had fallen when Sae-ah touched him on the floor, but why was he looking for something like hair on the floor?
'He’s acting weird.' JiHan thought about how much Sae-jin had changed over the past five years.
“What are you talking about? It was just me and mom.”
“Is that so…?”
“Yes. Maybe it got stuck on my clothes and fell off. Anyway, Dad, you're acting strange. Why are you digging around on the floor, and what would be the problem with blue hair?”
“No… I was just worried that a male half-elf might have come by.”
“What if one did? He could be Mom's boyfriend.”
“Wh-what?”
“Don't say such disgusting things.”
Somehow, the conversation spiraled into chaos.
“Well… It's just that male half-elves have a bad reputation. Whether it's your mom or you, I wanted to warn you to be careful about interacting with one.”
“Why's their reputation bad?”
“They're known for being quite promiscuous with women.”
Did male half-elves really get around that much?
'Well, they rose to fame quickly, so there may be a lot of cases like that.'
Male half-elves were heavily cared for by the World Tree Alliance. To change species, you needed the Interspecies Affinity Gift, and…
'Luck.'
After becoming lucky and turning into a half-elf, you didn't need to put in any effort into maintaining your status. In fact, they could level up in the Hall of Swords just by sleeping.
Basically, their duty was to live off of the massive salaries the guilds gave them.
'What he’s talking about is too extreme.' The examples Sae-jin brought up were all extreme ones, cases in which one person dated too many different people.
“Alright, stop. Is this really what you want to talk about after meeting your daughter after so long?” Sae-ah was visibly annoyed.
“E-ehem… Well…”
“Ahh, forget it, Dad, let's talk another time. I just got back, and I'm tired.” She cut off Sae-jin's rant and ushered him out of the house.
“O-okay…”
Knock, knock—
Not long later, she knocked on JiHan's door.
"Uncle, you heard the conversation, right?"
"Yes."
"What's up with Dad? I never imagined he'd make a fuss over some hair on the floor." Sae-ah shook her head.
JiHan glanced at Ji-ah behind her. "Maybe it's because of my sis?"
"Me?"
"Since coming back, I feel that your ex-husband has been paying a lot of attention to his ex-wife."
"Maybe that's it…" Even on the day she returned, there was a fight during the national team's dinner, and when Kim JiHun joined the guild, Sae-jin listened to Ji-ah's request and opened the way for him.
Although JiHan hadn't been back for long, just seeing how things were going… he could roughly guess why Sae-jin was acting like that.
"Making a fuss over some hair on the floor… Isn't it more like obsession rather than interest?"
"Hmm, should I erase Sae-jin's memories?" JiHan asked.
"You can even do that…?"
"I can't, but I know someone who's good at that kind of thing." If he asked the Red Administrator, someone who was good at everything except fighting, he would probably get an answer. "Well, I haven't erased anyone's memories before, so I'm not sure how much would be erased."
"I'm fine… It's mine and his problem, so I'll handle it."
JiHan nodded. If possible, solving things without erasing memories was the best. "If things get out of hand, let me know. I'll erase them immediately."
"Got it."
JiHan turned to Sae-ah. "As long as the Blue and Red Sword’s seal isn't broken, the void won't interfere, right?"
"Yes."
"The White Administrator has been sealed for 1,000 years, so she won't be able to interfere in worldly affairs?"
"Yes."
"Even if I destroy the World Tree Alliance, the void won't care, right?"
"Hmm… they might even like it. After all, you'd be eliminating the World Tree Alliance, which has been standing at the edge for a while."
JiHan nodded. It was clear that the void wouldn't interfere. If he fought the World Tree Alliance without any external interference, he was confident that he could win.
The only thing that bothered him was…
'They say the White Administrator was sealed for 1,000 years, but… I need to confirm if it's really true.'
The White Administrator was obsessed with Heaven Net. Even if she were sealed, he wasn't sure whether she would stay quiet.
'I'll have to test it.' Maybe he could dangle the bait to see if it was true.
JiHan smiled and made Kim JiHun's body float. "I'll go and take care of some business."
"Business?"
"Yes. I'm going to raid the World Tree Alliance."
"Haa… Got it. I guess we're done for today~"
With that, JiHan ended the party. After taking Kim JiHun's body back home, he opened the coordinates of the World Tree Alliance.
'Well…'
A red portal opened in the air, and JiHan stepped right into it to see another World Tree Alliance planet.
'I'll need to add some fuel to the Blue and Red Sword.' He landed next to the World Tree there. 'This place also has a low level.'
He lightly kicked the ground.
The surrounding elves were blown away in an instant. As JiHan looked at the World Tree, he recalled how the Red Administrator told him to raise the stat to 666 if he wanted help.
'I'll have to be careful to make sure it doesn't exceed 700.'
After slightly loosening the seal, JiHan plunged his sword into the World Tree, absorbing the massive tree.
[The 'D-rank World Tree' has been absorbed into the netherworld.]
[Due to Blue, the absorption efficiency has been greatly reduced.]
A red light flashed within his sword.
“So you've woken me up, Blue Administrator.” At the center, a red eye appeared.

“The White Administrator has been sealed…?”
"Yes."
The red eye, after hearing JiHan's story, flickered. “Since the White gave the Black Administrator a reason, a 1,000-year seal is a plausible punishment, but even sealed, it doesn't mean they can't watch over the world…”
"Really?"
“Isn't Battle Tube still running?”
JiHan nodded.
The red eye continued, “As long as Battle Tube is operational, eyes will be watching over Battle Net. She just can't interfere.”
"Speaking of which, the White Administrator has no way of interfering at all?"
“What do you mean?”
"I wonder how she'd react to some tempting bait."
“Bait, huh…?” The red eye gleamed with interest. “Are you planning to use me as bait?”
"Something like that."
“Even though the White and Black Administrators are both permanent, the White is weaker than the Black. The netherworld was made as a way to bridge that gap… Now that the Black Administrator has sealed her away, she'll try to contact me by any means necessary.”
Right. Even if the White Administrator were sealed, it would drive her crazy.
'If she has the means to interfere in worldly affairs, she’ll make contact by any means possible.'
Then he would be able to use that 'contact' as evidence to ask the Black Administrator to strengthen the seal. If the seal were strong enough that the White Administrator couldn't interfere even after seeing the Red Administrator, then he wouldn't have to worry about her at all.
Either way, shaking the bait in front of the White Administrator was worth a try.
“Whether the White Administrator shows up or not… it doesn’t matter. However, I have no intention of being bait. I like it here.”
What was so great about being inside the Blue and Red Sword?
JiHan chuckled. "Who said I would use you as bait?"
“Then…”
"I'll just pretend to be you." JiHan seemed to burst into flames, and in an instant, red fire covered him. "The World Tree Alliance predicted that the Red Administrator would eventually defeat me and break free from the seal."
“That's a reasonable thought.”
"I'll just show them that."
“The Blue Administrator is going to pretend to be me…?” The red eye flickered. “For your debut, how about we choose a stronger place?” Excited, he even gave a suggestion.
"A stronger place?"
“Yes. It would be strange for your identity to be exposed on a weak planet like this.”
"Then…"
“You should face at least an ancient elf to make it believable that the Red Administrator, who defeated the Blue one, reappeared. I'll use some Authority.”
The screen showed the coordinates of the World Tree Alliance planets.
[You've used 10 Red.]
On the screen, which only had coordinate numbers, the ranks of the World Trees appeared next to each coordinate from S to D, though the order was a bit messy.
“While we're at it, I'll organize it.”
The screen turned red for a moment; then the coordinates were neatly organized by rank from top to bottom.
'Woah… this guy's really convenient.' Leaving his sinister intentions aside, he was like the ultimate secretary.
"Out of these coordinates, is the top one the strongest?"
“That's right.”
"I'll head there."
“Ancient elves will even appear on A-rank planets. You don't have to go to the strongest one…”
"What are you talking about?" JiHan chuckled. "If you'd devoured me, you would have started with the strongest place, right?"
The red portal opened, and JiHan stepped in.
[Abnormal Reaction Detected.]
[Energy Reaction: 'Red'.]
[Level 1 Alert Issued]
[Portal Suppression Function Activated]
Unlike before, the opponent's defensive mechanisms activated from space to stop the portal from opening.
'It's no big deal.' JiHan waved his hand and forced the shrinking red portal to open wide.
He saw a massive green barrier. The power within it was considerable.
'I think I could just push through with my body.'
Engulfed in flames, he broke through it in one go and landed at the planet’s World Tree.
