[You've already obtained Void?]

Karlein, in his black skeleton state, couldn't hide his surprise when he saw Seong Jihan arrive at Namsan.

How did he manage to get it so quickly when it had only been a few days since he said he needed Void?

"It just happened that way. What about your side? You said you were looking into methods."

[I didn't expect you to come so soon... I'm still researching.]

"Should I come back later then?"

[No... Although I couldn't modify the soul summoning technique, we can use Gilgamesh, right? Let's try with him.]

Swish swish...

A magic circle appeared in front of Karlein.

"Ugh...!"

Gilgamesh was summoned, his face bright red.

He emerged from the magic circle holding a wine cup.

"Ah! Ka-Karlein... Wasn't today a day off because of the Space League match...?"

He appealed to Karlein with a wronged expression.

Looks like he was having a drink after the league game.

[Sorry, but your vacation is canceled. The head brought Void.]

"No way...!"

At Karlein's words, Gilgamesh glanced at Seong Jihan.

"What?"

"Ah. Nothing..."

When their eyes met, he quickly averted his gaze.

Unlike last time, he was not acting up because he was drunk.

Seong Jihan smiled slightly at this sight.

"I'll send you back when the work is done, so cooperate properly."

"Re-really...?"

"Yes. We must guarantee your vacation."

Gilgamesh's face brightened at Seong Jihan's words.

"Wh-what should I do?"

"Draw out your chains. We're going to extract the World Tree's soul today."

Nodding at Seong Jihan's words, he,

"Huff..."

Took a deep breath and began to pull out the chains of Heavenly Tree Descending Spirit from within his body.

The first time he tried before, it was barely working, but,

'Oh... It's much better than before?'

The chains he was pulling out this time clearly improved in form and number.

He didn't know how Karlein trained him, but the effect was undoubtedly apparent.

[Then, head. Can you draw up some Void?]

Seong Jihan immediately materialized Void at those words.

[Wow. It was considerable before... but this is incomparable now?]

"Compared to then, I've gained 4 times more Void."

[Then the rest depends on my summoning technique. What a heavy responsibility, huh?]

Click. Click.

Karlein clicked his teeth joyfully as he absorbed the Void that Seong Jihan had materialized.

And after holding it in his mouth for a while.

Shuuuu...

As his jawbone began to melt from the Void energy.

[Wow, this is strong... I should summon at this level, right?]

The black skeleton opened its mouth and began to exhale dark smoke.

The black smoke that had previously only tinted part of Namsan's peak,

Swish swish...

Instantly turned the ground jet-black.

Simultaneously, Namsan's forest withered and twisted in an instant.

The soul summoning technique using enhanced Void had a different range of effects from the start compared to before.

And then,

Saaaa...

Karlein continued to exhale smoke.

'At this rate, no one will come to Namsan anymore.'

Already, hikers had stopped coming because of rumors about an elf ghost.

If the forest withered and twisted like this, it would look even more ominous, and no one would come.

As Seong Jihan was briefly thinking about Namsan's future,

[Oh... This definitely feels like we can pull it out. Gilgamesh. Try inserting the chains.]

"Under...stood."

Karlein gave instructions to start the work in earnest.

Fwooosh!

As Gilgamesh's chains dug into the jet-black ground,

"Ugh..."

His face immediately contorted.

It seemed inserting chains into that Void-filled place was quite painful.

Just as Seong Jihan was wondering if he should help too,

"Urk...!"

Gilgamesh's chains suddenly thinned and,

Snap!

His Heavenly Tree Descending Spirit began to break one by one.

If left like this, all the chains would break.

'I guess I should use it too.'

Infinite Annihilation God:

Annihilation God's Secret,

Heavenly Tree Descending Spirit

Swish swish...

Seong Jihan, who had been quietly observing, quickly extended his chains.

Thud...!

Something began to be caught underground.

As Gilgamesh's chains faded, the opponent's form began to take shape.

'Let's pull it out.'

As Seong Jihan pulled on the extended chains,

Rumble...!

The ground shook, and a huge object slowly began to rise from within.

'This is...'

A translucent pillar shining with rainbow colors.

At its center,

[You're really being a nuisance.]

An elf with a hole in her chest was glaring at Seong Jihan.

* * *

"You... are you Yggdrasil?"

Seong Jihan asked after confirming the rainbow-colored form that was practically Yggdrasil's symbol and the green hair of the elf inside the pillar.

[Yes, I am.]

The opponent readily admitted to being Yggdrasil.

"You're quite honest."

[There's no point in hiding it anyway. If you're able to pull me out like this, doesn't it mean you've completely won the battle?]

Yggdrasil folded her arms as she said this.

[I guess you're trying to subjugate me... Fine. Let's see what you can do. I'll also look for a chance to avenge Lord Urd.]

"Avenge Urd?"

What was she talking about?

Why was she talking about avenging that monster who was still alive and well?

'Something doesn't add up here.'

As Seong Jihan was looking at her with puzzled eyes,

Yggdrasil was recalling Urd with a sad expression.

[Poor Lord Urd... Because of you, she must have been buried in the Void in the end... Ah. I shouldn't have lost... I didn't expect you to be in cahoots with the Red Administrator.]

"Why do you keep going on about Urd? She absorbed all of you and is now the Green Administrator."

[...? What do you mean? There's no way Lord Urd would have such power left...]

Seeing Yggdrasil genuinely puzzled, Seong Jihan asked, just in case,

"Don't you remember what happened on the moon?"

[On the moon...? On the moon...]

At the mention of the moon, Yggdrasil furrowed her brow as she thought about it.

[...You. How did you annihilate me there? I have no memory of it at all.]

"Hmm."

It didn't seem like she was lying.

Had the process of dying on the moon completely disappeared from her memory?

'Come to think of it, we didn't find Yggdrasil's soul on the moon.'

Maybe that was related to why this soul had no memory.

Seong Jihan pondered how to deal with Yggdrasil and then looked towards Karlein.

"Can you subjugate her as your undead?"

[Um... It doesn't look easy, but I'll give it a try.]

Saaaa!

The skeleton exhaled black smoke towards Yggdrasil, but,

[You think this will work?]

Swish swish...

Karlein's power evaporated as soon as it touched the rainbow pillar.

Yggdrasil then snorted and looked towards Seong Jihan.

[Dead Star Constellation... No matter how excellent his necromancy is, he's just a mere constellation. Do you think he can dominate an Administrator? Blue Administrator. You should step up directly.]

"So you can look for a chance to retaliate?"

[Hehe. Who knows?]

Yggdrasil gave a mysterious smile as she said this.

Was she planning to look for an opportunity to counterattack if Seong Jihan stepped in?

In fact, since he had already defeated her on the moon, the soul's counterattack wasn't really threatening, but.

'My power doesn't have the ability to dominate.'

In this situation, the Blue stat wasn't a suitable ability.

At times like this, he should ask the Red Administrator, who was good at everything except combat.

'Hey. Is there no way to make her a subordinate with the Red power?'

[Yggdrasil's defenses are perfect, so it's difficult to dominate her in this state even with Red power.]

'Really? I guess that's what you'd expect from an Administrator.'

[Hmm... How about trying to shake her up a bit?]

'Shake her up?'

[There's no opening to exploit now, but if her composure is shaken, an opportunity might arise.]

At those words, Seong Jihan recalled Yggdrasil's earlier reaction.

She had no memory of what happened on the moon and was convinced that Urd had died.

'If we show her that's not the case, she might be shaken up a bit.'

He should give it a test.

Ziiing...

He immediately brought up a screen right there.

[What's this screen suddenly for? Are you going to show me something interesting?]

The Yggdrasil inside the pillar was initially wearing a relaxed expression as she watched Seong Jihan's actions, but

[Uh... Is this, from the moon...?]

As scenes of her fierce battle with Seong Jihan on the moon began to play, her expression gradually hardened.

And this change in expression,

[Lord U-Urd...?]

When Urd appeared on the screen,

And she passed the Void seal to Yggdrasil, her expression became even more rigid.

Furthermore,

-Urd... I can't hold out much longer. You must escape...!

When the Yggdrasil on screen was finally overwhelmed trying to block Seong Jihan's flames and started burning,

-Ah. You don't need to worry about me. I just... was curious how that fire works.

When Urd herself easily blocked the flames with her light clock,

[...]

Yggdrasil's soul could no longer hide her stiff face.

[That doesn't seem to be a fabricated video... Did I die like that on the moon?]

"Yes. I don't know why you can't remember, though."

[...Well, alright. If your intention was to shake me up, you've succeeded to some extent.]

She slowly tried to relax her stiff expression and regain composure.

[But... I am Lord Urd's servant. In the end, I fulfilled my purpose by dying for her.]

"Is that so?"

Even though she was treated almost like kindling in the end, her loyalty was truly remarkable.

Still, she showed a small reaction to that scene.

'Should I play a bit more?'

Seong Jihan decided to play what happened after Yggdrasil's death as well.

-Do you know why these look exactly like me?

-It's to complete my body.

When the scene of Urd making all the World Tree Alliance elves self-destruct and absorbing them played,

[...Right. The World Tree elves were born for Urd. This is how it should be...]

Yggdrasil verbally defended Urd, saying this was natural, but,

[It's the natural order... but...]

Signs of her being shaken were gradually becoming more apparent.

And after several scenes played,

When the scene of Void-state Urd completely 'deleting' one of the Alliance's planets appeared,

[Ah...?]

Yggdrasil's expression, which had been trying to maintain composure until now, turned to shock.

[No. That's. No... It can't be?]

She had endured all the other scenes with blind loyalty to Urd, but

Seeing a planet being deleted, she was greatly shaken.

'She reacts this much to this?'

Seong Jihan found Yggdrasil's reaction strange, but,

'Well, anyway... This seems like an opportunity.'

Seeing her unable to recover from the confusion, he sensed this was the right moment.

[Yes. Use the Red power now.]
