Chapter 504

[Star Buff has been upgraded to its limit, 'Supernova' is now permanently activated.]

Supernova.

The ultimate buff that increases Star Buff's efficiency by 10 times.

However, it had the drawback of losing the 'Divine' effect once used.

That's why Seong Jihan saved it carefully after obtaining it and only used it when fighting the Martial God.

'But now they're offering to activate it permanently.'

Of course, no matter how excellent Supernova is, its buff effect would be weaker now as an administrator compared to when he was a player.

Still, for Seong Jihan who was currently at an impasse, this was an incredibly tempting opportunity.

Of course, this effect came with a condition:

[To maintain Supernova's activation, the battletube must be turned on for at least 2 hours a day.]

It was a condition forcing the activation of the battletube daily.

Seong Jihan quickly realized the meaning behind this.

'They want to monitor my movements.'

These days, he wasn't even turning on the battletube, just training in the void training room.

Did they become curious about his information?

To offer such a buff just to watch him.

'Looking at this, White seems suspicious.'

A Star Buff that forces the use of the battletube.

It's an obviously suspicious offer.

However,

'If Star Buff is upgraded and Supernova activates, the performance of Heterogeneous Martial Resolve will also increase.'

Seong Jihan decided to take the risk for the completion of Blue.

Besides,

'The void training room and the Black Administrator are just as dubious anyway.'

While he trusted Yoon Seah who operated the training room,

He couldn't trust the void side which was its source.

As long as both Black and White had suspicious points,

Seong Jihan decided to use everything offered by both sides while focusing entirely on completing Blue.

"Alright, I'll accept it."

As Seong Jihan answered and pressed yes,

[Star Buff has been upgraded to its limit.]

[When the battle tube is turned on, Supernova will be permanently activated.]

[To maintain Supernova's permanent activation, you must turn on the battletube for 2 hours a day.]

Star Buff was upgraded to its limit with the condition related to Supernova attached.

'I should turn it on right away.'

Now that he had run simulations as much as he could, and Heterogeneous Martial Resolve wasn't activating anymore.

Seong Jihan turned on the battletube as soon as Star Buff was upgraded.

-Oh...!

-It's been a while since Seong Jihan's battle tube.

-Where is this?

-It feels similar to the training room he showed before.

-Before, the broadcast played strangely due to the time multiplier, but today it's normal?

-But the screen border is glowing bright white, what's this...

-Oh, it's not just me; mine's sparkling too.

Viewers flooded in as soon as Seong Jihan started the broadcast.

Those who guessed this place was the training room were amazed that the playback was normal, unlike before.

'A bright white glowing border... is it the White Administrator?'

Originally, the flow of time in the training room and outside was different, so the playback speed had to be adjusted.

Was that white border correcting it somehow?

The permanent administrator seemed to have nothing better to do.

As Seong Jihan was thinking this,

-Is this because of the Yoon Seah absence incident?

-Why would Seong Jihan explain that;

-For real, bringing that issue even here.

When the Yoon Seah incident was mentioned in some parts of the chat,

He twitched his eyebrow.

"What's this Yoon Seah incident? Are you talking about her not showing up for the national team match?"

-Oh, you know about it.

-Yes, we lost to Orcs because of that

-This never happened when Seong Jihan was around...!!

People confirmed that was indeed what they were referring to in response to his question.

As voices blaming Yoon Seah started to emerge, Seong Jihan frowned.

'Why isn't she explaining herself and just taking the blame?'

If they were talking about it even in Seong Jihan's chat, she would be getting even more criticism in public.

'If I say she helped fix my face, the limited uses of the Golden Wheel might be revealed. I should give a vague explanation.'

He gave a simple answer to people about this matter.

"Seah was absent due to something related to my work. It's also connected to providing this training room."

-Ah... so she was absent because of Seong Jihan's issue.

-I thought it was strange she'd just be absent for no reason.

-If that's the case, it's understandable haha

-The problem is losing just because Yoon Seah was missing, honestly;

-For real, isn't it embarrassing to lose just because one player is missing?

While most people quickly changed their attitude and agreed with Seong Jihan's words,

-Even if it's related to Seong Jihan, is it professional to miss a match?

-What help could an administrator need from his niece anyway;

-I don't know what kind of help it was, but I lost all my assets because of this...

-Don't you not need a training room anymore at this point?

A minority of people continued to raise objections in the chat.

This was actually mild.

In the chat, some were even calling him a monster because of his face.

Seong Jihan smiled wryly seeing this.

'These guys, I need to discipline them a bit.'

Maybe he had been too nice to humans so far.

Seong Jihan crossed his arms and opened his mouth.

"I turn on the broadcast after a long time, and I see some people cursing at me? Then I don't feel like using my authority to help humanity... I guess this level of evolution is enough for you?"

Seong Jihan, who had raised humanity from the lowest-grade species to lower-middle grade.

When he brandished his administrator authority, humanity was put on alert.

-Ah these crazy bastards ㅡㅡ;

-Now they're picking fights with Seong Jihan because there's no one else to curse at, these lunatics for real.

-Just go leave hate comments somewhere else... do you want to live until 200 or not?

-Don't kill the goose that lays golden eggs, damn it

Sure enough, people react when you say something.

He added one more thing.

"Ah, and just in case, I'll let you know that it's possible to downgrade humanity's rank. Administrator authority can do more than you think."

In reality, there was no need to waste authority to lower humanity's rank, but

Seong Jihan showed that he could do this if he wanted to.

The chat quickly cleaned up.

-Ha, downgrade? That's crossing the line.

-That's definitely a bluff, he can't do it.

-His face got smashed and became a monster, did his personality break too?

Of course, some still didn't stop their criticism, but

"Strangely, among those cursing, there are many IDs with neighboring country flags. Should I make an example of one of them first? Going back to lowest-grade would be fine, right?"

When Seong Jihan said he could target and downgrade a specific country, the chat quickly went quiet.

-Cursing at an administrator... are they crazy?

-Didn't they rise vertically from lowest-grade to lower-middle grade because of the administrator??

-Abandon those guys and come to our planet. Blue Administrator, we will be your faithful servants.

And seeing humanity's reaction, alien species just invited him to come to them.

That's how unthinkable this incident was by their common sense.

['World Tree Yggdrasil' suggests pressing on the chat IDs and viewing the information of the governing species.]

[He advises that even a temporary administrator should be able to view battletube information, and to not tolerate insubordination but eradicate three generations of the rebels.]

Furthermore, the Green Administrator went a step further and explained how to use administrator authority in the battletube.

"Oh, our senior. You're teaching me good things."

Seong Jihan, who only called Yggdrasil 'senior' when he did something he liked,

Immediately proceeded with a test.

"I can understand other countries, but I was curious about some IDs from our country that are cursing so hard. Let's see... Blancheshu? Let's start with this ID. View information."

[Viewing information of the governing species.]

Zing...

A status window popped up in front of his eyes.

Like a regular status window, it showed name, level, and abilities.

'Name is Kim Heesu. Level 1... not an awakened one? But this name sounds familiar.'

Who was Kim Heesu?

Seong Jihan tried to recall for a moment, then

[Do you want to use 1 Administrator Authority to view detailed information?]

When the system message appeared, he pressed yes.

Then on the status window he opened, the person's face appeared in real-time,

And additional information about their location was displayed.

And Seong Jihan recognized who it was when he saw the face.

'Ah, it's that kid whose eyebrows I plucked before.'

It was the friend who had picked a fight with Yoon Seah and got her eyebrows plucked by him.

He clearly remembered teaching her and her cousin a lesson back then...

'Humans really don't change easily.'

Even after being scolded like that, she's still doing this.

Seong Jihan considered revealing this face and status window to everyone, but,

'Then the public would really go after this one person.'

He decided not to go that far.

Instead,

Swish...!

He covered Kim Hee-su's face and name with his palm and revealed the status window to people.

"Thanks to our senior administrator, I got to see the status window well like this."

-Wow it really shows up

-Administrator authority is insane...

-Does the name end with 'su'?

-Is it a man or woman?

-With an ID like Blancheshu, isn't it a woman?

-If Seong Jihan moves his palm it's basically a public execution lol

-Didn't Yggdrasil say to eradicate three generations?? Let's go

Seeing the status window of a level 1 ending with XX-su, people once again realized that Seong Jihan was an administrator.

And the public wanted Seong Jihan to remove his palm and reveal the face and name, but

"If I reveal it, they might really die... I'm being nice, so I'll let it slide this once. They're still young, it'd be a shame to die so early."

Seeing signs that a real 21st century witch hunt might occur, he decided not to fully reveal it.

['World Tree Yggdrasil' advises that this is unnecessary mercy.]

[He says it would be merciful to eradicate three generations of those who damaged the administrator's dignity, and urges to reveal it immediately.]

The Green Administrator told him not to think about such things and just crush them, but,

"I'll do it later if I'm in a bad mood."

Seong Jihan smiled and dismissed the status window he had displayed.

The reason he revealed the status window this time wasn't to target Kim Heesu specifically.

It was to show that 'I can see all of you'.

'Besides, if I go after one, I'd have to go after the rest too, and that would be a waste of authority.'

He couldn't use authority just to reveal information on such trolls.

From the beginning, Seong Jihan didn't really care much about people cursing at him.

'Compared to when I was on the US national team in my previous life, this is nothing.'

Back then, because of the fierce ranking competition between countries, he heard all kinds of insults from people of other countries.

Compared to that time, the current chat environment was very clean.

The only reason it bothered him this time was because Yoon Seah was being insulted.

If it wasn't for that, Seong Jihan wouldn't have cared what insults people threw.

"Now that this matter is settled, let's get to the main point."

-Oh, that wasn't the main point yet...

-We got here because the Yoon Seah issue was brought up in the first place lol

-I should capture the IDs of everyone who cursed at Seong Jihan

-I wonder what would have happened to XX-su if their name was revealed?

-For real, they might have died... for criticizing Seong Jihan in Korea lol

While people were continuing to discuss the previous conversation, saying everything until now was just the introduction,

Zing...

Seong Jihan turned on the simulation.

Then,

[The characteristic of Heterogeneous Martial Resolve is activating.]

Heterogeneous Martial Resolve, whose performance had increased along with the activation of Supernova, a characteristic of Star Buff,

Was once again gaining stimulation from the simulation with Dongbang Sak, which had already been used like a soup stock.

'Now... I can really complete it.'

Seong Jihan realized with certainty.

That he could unify Blue and Martial Soul through this simulation.

'...I'll be able to draw the Taiji Sword soon.'

Seong Jihan's eyes darkened as he looked at Dongbang Sak in the simulation.

It was time for the final touch.

And 5 weeks later.

[The stat 'Devil's intrusion' is completely absorbed into 'Blue'.]

The training was complete.
