Beyond the Abyss of Pyongyang.

There, with only the purple void thickly covering, the owner of the huge abyss was crouching at the very back.

And there were two beings standing in front of it.

Taijis Lost Soul, who had the appearance of Seong Jihan, and the petrified Seong Jiah.

That body is still remaining. You havent completely taken over yet?

When Seong Jihan spoke looking at the giants body, the Lost Soul shook his head.

No. I can absorb it, but the efficiency is not good. Instead, the power of that thing will be used to open the void gate.

The Taijis Lost Soul, who gained control thanks to the Taiji installed by Dongbang Sak, but that power was to be used for escape anyway.

He glanced at Yoon Seah, who fell asleep with pressure points struck.

Seeing that state, I guess persuasion didnt work.

Yeah. She clearly said she wont go, so I struck her pressure points.

Pressure points Did that work? Seah should be a pretty powerful player too.

What Dongbang Sak taught me is very effective.

I see. Dongbang Sak.

The Lost Soul frowned as if he didnt like that name.

Although I regained control because of him, I dont know what side effects will occur from the Taiji he installed. Lets proceed with things quickly.

How do you plan to proceed?

First, we need to do species conversion.

As the Lost Soul said that and looked at Seong Jiah, she opened her palm.

[Summon.]

Swoosh.

Then, a huge glass test tube popped out from the floor filled with purple haze.

What is that?

[Its a species conversion kit. They sell it at the auction house.]

They have things like that at the auction house

[You wont find it even if you search. Because it can only be searched from the void side.]

Seong Jihan frowned looking at the test tube large enough to fit about ten Yoon Seahs.

Is that thing safe?

[Im using it on Seah, so I checked the safety first. Its the best quality among the highest grade.]

Seong Jiah said that and started opening the door of the test tube and taking things out from her inventory.

What is that?

[The basic success rate set in the species conversion kit is 95%, and these are items that further increase the probability from there.]

Thud. Thud.

From skulls and flesh of some unknown lifeforms,

To gems and ores, all sorts of things were going into the test tube.

The items that went in like that,

Whirrrr!

Were ground up in an instant like food put in a blender, and changed the color of the glass tube.

[Done. Its 100% now.]

What did you put in just now?

[Ingredients that increase the probability of enhancement success. They look unpleasant but are good for the body.]

If its good for the body, shes been grinding them in a blender and giving them since long ago, and shes still doing that even now that shes become a constellation-level Witch of the Void.

Seong Jihan thought he did well striking Yoon Seahs pressure points.

Even if she decided to escape, seeing the ground-up items, she wouldnt want to go into that blender.

[Well then, shall we start?]

Okay. If anything seems off, Ill destroy that thing right away.

[Of course. If theres a problem, Ill be the first to destroy it. But its an item from a verified company, so that shouldnt happen, right?]

Seong Jiah confidently opened the door of the glass tube.

Sister is guaranteeing it that much, so Im feeling uneasy for nothing.

Seong Jihan thought he should blow it up right away if something seemed a bit strange, and for now, sent the sleeping Yoon Seah into the test tube.

Then, as if water was quickly filling up inside,

Beep!

[Conversion target, determining species Judged as Human.]

[Humans have been included in the Conversion Prohibited Species list in the latest update. Species conversion impossible]

As a warning message popped up above the test tube,

Chiiing

The door opened by itself and pushed Yoon Seah back out.

* * *

[No Prohibited? Before, they were definitely a caution species]

Seong Jiah approached the glass tube where the message appeared as if she couldnt believe it.

[No way If theyre a caution species, they could be changed if partially evolved? I bought this because its genuine!]

There are genuine and non-genuine things like that?

[Yeah. Im using it on Seah, so I bought a reliable item!]

If she knew this would happen, should she have not bought a genuine one?

No. That would have been dangerous.

Seong Jiah was muttering to herself, unable to believe the reality unfolding before her eyes.

Blocked by the latest update Are humans a species that can even become conversion prohibited?

As the plan to evacuate to another world after species conversion was disrupted from the beginning, the Lost Soul looked at the test tube as if dumbfounded.

He couldnt understand at all why humans were what they were that the latest update made it so they couldnt even change species.

However, Seong Jihan had a hunch.

Conversion impossible judgment by the latest update Come to think of it, the Green Administrator also said that the traces of the Red Administrator being mixed into humanity were discovered after species evolution.

The traces of the Red Administrator discovered in humanity after the species evolved.

If they figured that out, it made sense for them to take conversion prohibition measures.

Where exactly was that thing made?

[The Void Species Research Institute.]

Then the void also figured it out?

[What?]

That humanity is involved with the Red Administrator.

[What in the world are you talking about?!]

When Seong Jiah was startled by those words, Seong Jihan calmly replied.

The Green Administrator said the Red one is humanity itself. I didnt completely trust those words, but seeing the void even making it conversion impossible I guess its true.

Humanity is the Red Administrator?

Yeah.

Humanity was like that?

The Lost Soul, upon hearing Seong Jihans words, seemed to realize something.

For a while, he kept muttering about the Red Administrator.

If species conversion is also blocked, the void gate will be blocked even more strongly.

[Then, is escape impossible?]

Its impossible in the current state.

The giant at the back.

And the Lost Soul, who was looking at Seong Jihan and Seong Jiah, bit his lip.

With this method blocked, theres only one way.

What is it?

Step. Step.

At Seong Jihans question, the Lost Soul approached the crouching giants body.

And reached out his hand to its body.

Then,

Crack!

The giants body split open on its own.

The Lost Soul stepped inside it himself.

Swoosh

The Lost Souls body soon entered the giants body and disappeared.

And one of the red eyes on the giants body flickered.

A voice flowed out from inside.

[Seong Jihan As long as we exist separately, we cannot escape from this world. To break through the prohibition, we need to combine our strength.]

Crack!

With that, the giants body split open again.

Seong Jihan stared blankly at the cracks.

Combining strength, you mean I should go in there too?

[Thats right.]

I see If I go in, how will you proceed with things?

[Well break through the blocked void gate with force and leap through space to the target location.]

The method itself is simple.

[But to actually execute it, we need far more immense power than now]

Flash! Flash!

The eyes embedded in the giants body began to open one by one, exuding a thick void energy.

[If you join forces with us, well be able to use the Red Administrators power. Then humanity will also sufficiently become an energy source.]

Using humanity as an energy source for escape

[Yes. Now that its been revealed that theyre the Red Administrator, humanity is destined to be cleaned up soon If theyre going to die anyway, its better to at least save the two of them, our family.]

Having experienced being the subject of annihilation, the scale is grand.

Recalling when the Abyss Owner activated Taiji during the humanity annihilation scenario,

Seong Jihan took out a sword from his left hand.

He understood what method the Taijis Lost Soul was scheming, but

It will fail. This method.

Seong Jihan was certain.

The plan to break through the void gate and perform spatial movement,

The Lost Souls current actions were merely not acknowledging that things had gone wrong from the beginning.

As he took out his sword like that, the Lost Soul lamented.

[As expected You have no intention of cooperating? You still dont know that the two are more precious than 7 billion]

No, thats not it. I think I understand that feeling, but

Swish.

While seemingly agreeing with the Lost Souls calculation that 2 people are more valuable than 7 billion,

I got a definite feeling.

[Feeling?]

If I combine with you, that will be the end this time.

He completely rejected his proposal.

[Jihan! A feeling, you say. Are you still on about that?]

Yeah. I definitely felt it.

[Dont be like that, lets find a way for us. The species conversion kit, with a non-genuine one. What about testing one that hasnt had the update applied? And going to another world, there must be a way without going through the void gate.]

Seong Jiah spoke as if trying to somehow stop the two who were about to fight, saying lets think of a way, but

What do you think when Sister says that?

[Its impossible. Because that was the conclusion reached after searching for various methods until now.]

The Lost Soul, who answered that it wont work at Seong Jihans question,

Swoosh

Restored the body he had split open for him to enter back to its original state.

[Your feeling The one that has been making the optimal choice so far, is it?]

Yes.

[I understand. I respect your choice.]

The giant slowly rose to his feet.

Rumble!

The abyss space shook all at once.

And the thick void rapidly engulfed Seong Jihan.

[However, in the end, you will join us.]

The Taijis Lost Soul, giving up on persuasion and deciding to use force.

Fundamental Divine Arts,

Heavenly Dragon Thunder Fire

One Sword Breaks the Sky

But as Seong Jihans sword pierced a single point,

The thick void rushing in scattered in all directions in an instant.

Seeing that, the giants body trembled for a moment.

[That This body remembers it. Dongbang Saks sword?]

Yes. I learned from him without holding back.

[Imagine wielding that sword in this body. Then you could even defeat the Martial God?]

Seong Jihan laughed at those words.

Although the body of the owner of the abyss, the eyeball giant, was powerful,

That level isnt enough.

[Not enough]

Yes. If I could end it that easily, I would have switched over long ago.

It was too much to overcome the wall of the Martial God.

But the Lost Soul, thinking his answer was because he didnt want to enter the giants body,

[Ill show you its not lacking.]

Hiss!

Began to truly reveal his power.

Before the battle was triggered like that,

I dont mind showing you.

Swish.

Seong Jihan pointed his finger at the two people.

Are you going to leave Sister and Seah here? Theyll be swept up in the aftermath of the battle.

[That mustnt happen.]

In the first place, the fight started to save the two, so he couldnt let them get involved here.

Beep!

A portal leading outside opened.

[Take Seah and go out. Sister.]

[No, are you two really going to fight? There must be a way!]

[Its not fighting, but two opinions becoming one, you could say.]

[Still!]

[The owner of the abyss commands. Take Seah and stay somewhere safe.]

[Thats Sigh, okay.]

When Seong Jiah couldnt be persuaded with words, he even gave a command.

[Seah Are you going to keep her in a pressure point state?]

Ill release her.

Tap!

As Seong Jihan moved his finger,

Yoon Seah, who was drooping, came to her senses with a start.

Huh? Where Ah Uncle! I said I wont go! How can you knock me out and bring me here, really!!

She seemed to have looked around and grasped the situation as she shouted loudly, but

Ah, sorry. But its been decided you wont go. Things got all messed up.

Huh? What do you mean?

Go out with Sister and wait.

Huh? Huh?

[Lets go. Seah.]

Until Seong Jiah picked her up like a piece of luggage and headed to the portal,

She kept looking around, not understanding what was going on.

And as the two entered, the portal disappeared.

[They left well.]

The Lost Soul, who waited until the portal completely closed,

[Then, lets begin.]

Began to truly move.
