Getting to the main point What do you intend to talk about?

Ssssss

As Seong Jihan watched Pythia gather her power, he adjusted himself accordingly.

His fractured face and burning right arm.

The combined power of the void and the red energy was strengthening him, putting him in a combat-ready state.

As expected, you are strong.

Flash!

As she activated her divine eye while observing Seong Jihan gather his power, Pythia continued speaking while trampling on Gilgamesh once again.

You cant even compare to this guy.

Comparing us itself is an insult.

Indeed. Sorry about that. Instead, would you like to hear something interesting?

What is it?

Do you know why the Blood clan carried out such prolific breeding?

The reason the Blood clan used Gilgamesh to propagate a new breed of humanity.

Seong Jihan was well-aware of it.

Wasnt it to infiltrate humanity with the Red Administrator?

How did you know? I intended to say that!

Because I have this.

As Seong Jihan pointed to his right arm, Pythia nodded understandingly.

The Red Administrators hand.

With that, it was natural to be aware of the truth surrounding human origins.

[Didnt you learn that before from Yggdrasils hints?]

Just go along with it.

[Got it.]

The Red Hand responded immediately to Seong Jihans remark.

If its this obedient, it shouldnt have asked in the first place.

While Seong Jihan was thinking that, Pythia continued.

Then, this should be easy to understand. If humanity is the host for the Red Administrator In the end, who do you think will be the Administrator?

No idea.

It would naturally be Gilgamesh as the top priority. No matter how incompetent and greedy he is He has sown the most seeds.

Him?

As Seong Jihan pointed downward with his finger.

Whoosh!

Gilgamesh lifted his head again, a mangled smile on his face.

Ha, haha! Humans were they truly the host of the Red Administrator? Those crazy bastards I never knew!

Gilgamesh had never understood why he alone was told to sow seeds up until now.

He realized it was to conceal the Red Administrator within humanity.

Nevertheless Even so, what she says makes sense. If indeed humanity becomes the Red Administrator, I would naturally take the central role!

Modern humanity is descended from Gilgamesh.

Even while being subjugated by Pythia, Gilgamesh was certain of this and seemed pleased.

Crunch.

And Pythia, glaring disdainfully, stomped Gilgamesh down again.

Mm!

Yes. I cant accept this man becoming the Red Administrator. So, Ill shatter the game board.

Flash.

Hearing about shattering the game board made the red eye embedded in Seong Jihans right hand glimmer.

From it, a voice emerged.

[Incorrect.]

Did your hand just speak?

[Correct. I spoke. The statement you made earlier is wrong. The Red Administrator will be the main body.]

The main body? By that, do you mean is it Seong Jihan?

[Indeed. The stud has served its purpose.]

How can I believe that?

[A reproductive organ cant become the ruler of the body.]

What Did you just call me a reproductive organ!?

Flaring up, Gilgamesh raised his head.

[What else is a seed-sowing organ if not a reproductive tool? You served your purpose by helping humanity flourish. you cant even produce kids anymore.]

At the words of the Red Hand, Gilgamesh flinched momentarily.

That That may be true, but I fathered children here. If we restore the laboratory, I can have children again!

[Incorrect. Youre sterile.]

No, Im not!!

As the Red Hand said that, Gilgamesh became more hysterical than ever.

Being called sterile hit him harder than being subdued by Pythia.

Crunch! Crunch!

Get back in there. Seriously.

Pythia kept stomping on Gilgamesh as he crazily raised his head.

This time, his resistance was intense.

I-Im not sterile! It functions well! I just cant seem to conceive! Yes, here in the laboratory, it will be possible again! Ill have descendants, my offsprings!

[Impossible.]

D-Damn it Then, could I conceive if I became the Administrator?

[The reproductive organ cant become the brain.]

Is that so? Men do often entrust their brains to that part.

[Sexist comment.]

Ah, Im sorry. Its just that Gilgamesh left me with too many scars.

Pythia bowed her head briefly.

Unlike the earlier smiling expression, she looked truly delighted at the thought of Gilgamesh being sterile.

Well If Seong Jihan were to become the Red Administrator, I wouldnt mind. He might be my offspring.

Just like Gilgamesh wanted to be called Father, you want to be called Mother?

Ugh, no. I dont wish to speak like him. And

Flash!

A bright halo formed from light shone on Pythias forehead.

If you were my son, I wouldnt be able to kill you, correct?

The eye formed of light, the divine eye, appeared.

At the same time.

Ice swords began to materialize one by one from the surrounding cold air.

* * *

The divine eye and ice sword rain So, you intend to fight to the end.

I owe Martial God for saving me.

Seong Jihan nodded.

Whatever Martial Gods ulterior motive was.

Having rescued her from the hell of giving birth to 7,342 children, she could indeed see it as grace.

She subdued Gilgamesh, so Ill also have to go all out.

With that thought, Seong Jihan set up his BattleTube channel to get his star buff.

-Oh, is he finally starting his Challenger game?

-Hmm Doesnt look like the game map again.

-Whats with those red eyes everywhere lol

-Wow That womans pretty.

-But she seems feisty. Shes stomping on some old guy?

-I get uneasy if its not in-game -_-

Viewers quickly sensed the unusual atmosphere as soon as they logged into the broadcast, and were worried about what new trouble Seong Jihan had landed into.

Meanwhile, Pythia glanced at the air and smiled.

You turned on the broadcast. I got a notification too.

I need the buff. I cant afford to hold back against Eve who trampled Adam.

-Huh? Adam and Eve For real?

-Eves too good for that middle-aged man.

-But stomped or not, isnt it too much? The old guys face got utterly wrecked

-Does that mean this place is Eden? lol

-With all those eyes? What blasphemy.

As soon as Seong Jihan dropped his clue, the chat buzzed about the biblical reference to Adam and Eve, igniting the discussion regardless of the viewers faith.

Meanwhile.

Ah, stop calling me Eve! I dont want to be linked with this man.

Swoosh!

As Pythia extended her hand, the ice swords simultaneously fired at Seong Jihan.

It appeared to be a light attack to probe the opponent, but.

Strong.

It must have been the power of a Sovereign constellation at work.

Certainly, the might contained in the swords was formidable.

If Seong Jihan had faced these attacks before attaining the power of both void and red.

It would have been quite challenging to counter these attacks.

However.

Hey, flame.

[Got it, main body.]

Fwoosh!

Seong Jihans right arm blazed with red flames.

The mighty authority of the red, now even more powerful after grafting a red arm, possessed the ability to evaporate the ice swords into vapor instantly.

Sssss

The ice swords vanished without being able to breach the wall of flames.

Seeing this, Pythia nodded.

Your hand listens well.

So far, yes.

In this case, I am completely at a disadvantage concerning the power of fire

Fwoosh!

Pythia created a momentary white flame in her hand and extinguished it again.

The sacred flame, taken from Sophia?

Yes. I retrieved it as it became necessary, but it wont work on you, will it?

Why not test it?

No need to test an inevitable result. Ah, this doesnt look good The affinity is too poor. My ice cant penetrate your authority, and

With just a single probing attack sequence, Pythia perfectly analyzed the gap between her and Seong Jihan.

Her power was formidable, but completely outmatched by the authority of the red.

I have no choice. Even as a sovereign constellation, Ill have to rely on this facilitys power.

Clap!

As Pythia clapped her hands.

The dormant red eyes within the laboratory regained vitality.

Bzzz

The eyes fired red lasers in unison.

The beams appeared as if theyd incinerate anything they touched.

Of course, the space surrounding Seong Jihan was entirely under his control, causing the beams to halt midway before reaching him.

These lasers even push back the void-dominated space.

Bzzzz

The red lasers didnt stop entirely.

Slowly extending toward Seong Jihans domain.

Simultaneously.

Swish! Swish!

Ice swords rained down upon Seong Jihan.

Unlike the light probing attack from earlier, this time, they came at him with full force.

How about this? Itll be hard to block, right?

With the eyes laser beams and the ice swords working together.

Though the two did not mix, they systematically pressured Seong Jihan.

Regardless of the poor affinity of her power against Seong Jihans, this level of coordinated attack

Ill have to summon the void as well.

Sssss

As a violet fog began to arise from Seong Jihans cracked face.

Flash!

The Red Hand urgently spoke to him.

[Main body! No need for that. Weve conquered half the space already.]

Already?

[All Red authority belongs to the main body. This clans laboratory cannot defy fate.]

Really? Can you control those lasers too?

[Naturally.]

Bzz

At his words, the red lasers immediately changed direction.

The beams that were piercing toward Seong Jihan instantly incinerated the ice swords and pivoted toward Pythia.

She narrowly dodged them and spoke slowly.

An outsider seized mastery over this place in an instant. You might indeed become the Red Administrator.

Well have to wait and see.

Seong Jihan pressed his advantage, now turning the pressure back on Pythia.

The red eyes in the lab quickly began following his commands, firing lasers at Pythia.

Flash!

Her divine eye shone, narrowly dodging each attack.

This is The odds of winning are already gone. Really hurts my pride as a constellation!

Pythia admitted defeat, even while her divine eye evaded the attacks by a hairs breadth.

Meanwhile.

Those red lasers are good. I like them.

[Main body, I can do better. Thats a lower version of ultimate Red authority, Total Annihilation.]

Total Annihilation? You shouldve told me sooner.

[You didnt ask.]

Tch. Valuable things should be offered voluntarily.

[Got it.]

Lets try it out.

Fwoosh!

Obeying Seong Jihans command, the Red Hand ignited.

As the red eye glimmered, channeling the stat of Red.

Red:

Total Annihilation.

The red light filled the entire laboratorys front.

Soon, the world blazed.

The fire engulfed everything, even itself, consuming it all as it vanished.

-This is a different level from those other laser eyes.

-Wow, it scorched everything in a straight line.

-So, this is the Administrators hand?

Total Annihilation, which incinerated everything indiscriminately.

This level of power was probably second only to the Taiji Sword.

Of course.

[Stat Red decreased by 3.]

Using Total Annihilation cost stat points.

Itll be useful against formidable opponents later.

Satisfied with the overwhelming power of Total Annihilation, Seong Jihan looked ahead.

Pythia and Gilgamesh.

And the tree had all completely vanished from the front.

Was it too powerful?

So Adam and Eve both perished like this

As Seong Jihan muttered.

No, were not dead yet?

Fwooosh

Ice formed in mid-air, revealing a slightly scorched Pythia.

And a completely charred Gilgamesh.

Judging by the looks of things, Gilgamesh had served as her shield.

And how many times have I told you to stop calling me Eve?

So, Pythia. You dodged that, huh.

Wouldnt have survived without the divine eye.

Seong Jihan looked at the glowing eye on Pythias forehead.

The Divine eye.

While his sisters barely had any worthwhile functions, Pythia put it to good use.

I really cant win against you No matter how much I use the divine eye, I see no path to victory.

Are you surrendering quietly, then?

Oh, you really intend to kill me? Dont you feel pity?

Pity I do feel an ounce of human empathy But I cant let you destroy humanity.

At Seong Jihans words, Pythia smirked.

I figured as much. I would have been disappointed if you had shown leniency. Mixing business with personal feelings is unwise.

Really? Then prepare to die.

Just as Seong Jihan drew his sword.

Pythia smiled cryptically.

But Why do you think I have blabbered on about my tragic past to stretch for time?

It was all for this moment.

Crack!

Behind Pythia, space tore apart.

A massive hand emerged.

Lets head to Tuseong. Martial God is waiting.
