Seong Jihan looked at Urd with an incredulous face.

Of all things, he was being scolded by her for not growing until now.

Well,

\'I did leave some unused stat points, though.\'

Before the Black Administrator informed him about the laziness achievement condition through the messenger, he tried to figure it out by leaving residual points unused.

Even after hearing from the Black Administrator, he had left them just in case.

He didn\'t expect that not using those stats would affect this situation.

Plus, he had deliberately reduced stat red while searching for the laziness condition.

Perhaps the ability gap had widened much more than before.

Still,

\'There\'s no need to tell her this willingly.\'

Thinking this, Seong Jihan looked at Urd.

"I\'ve been leveling up through this tower in my own way... You\'re just a monster."

"But this pace is too much, isn\'t it? I feel like I should come and die for you every day..."

She would come to the top floor every day to provide level-up events?

Seong Jihan showed interest in those words, but,

"That could disrupt my body\'s balance, so I can\'t."

"So you won\'t come to die after all."

"For now, my work here is more important."

Saying this, Urd closely examined the stick stuck in the ground.

"Hmm... Fortunately, it\'s not enough to change the main system. Its power is weak."

"Main system?"

"The BattleNet, I mean."

She readily answered Seong Jihan\'s question and waved her hand towards the stick.

"Yggdrasil. Don\'t forget that I\'m your master. The main must be maintained as is."

Crackle...

The rainbow light flickered as if responding to those words.

Urd smiled with satisfaction at this and spread her arms.

"Well then. My job is done, so kill me."

"You\'re not going to resist?"

"How could I win when I can\'t use my powers?"

She seemed fine in Void form outside, but it didn\'t work here, huh.

Seong Jihan recalled the previous time as he looked at her, asking to be killed.

\'Last time, I burned her as an enemy and gained 60 levels.\'

Urd, who had endured for 30 minutes even when set on fire by Blue and Red\'s firepower.

Perhaps because the level difference was so extreme,

During the time she was burning, level-up messages appeared every minute.

If he burned her with Blue and Red this time too, he could probably experience the same level-up event as then.

But,

\'Keeping her here for long makes me uneasy.\'

Urd had exerted influence on Yggdrasil\'s legacy with just a few words earlier.

Although she was waiting with her arms spread out asking to be killed now,

If she burned for 30 minutes, who knows what influence she might exert on this stick.

\'It\'s better to send the uninvited guest away quickly, even if it means giving up some of the level-up event.\'

Having decided this, Seong Jihan chose to use Blue Flame.

Swish...

The blue border disappeared from the Blue and Red he floated in the air.

Infinite Annihilation God

Opening the Blue Gate

Blue Flame

Whoosh...!

Blue flames erupted all over Urd\'s body at once.

"Oh my. I thought you\'d keep burning me like last time..."

"I want to get rid of you quickly."

"Hehe. Nice. Seeing this again."

At first, Urd was happily watching her body burn with blue flames, but,

Sizzle...

As her body completely disappeared and even the Void overflowing inside began to burn,

"Oh my. Even this is burning..."

Urd blinked as if surprised.

And then,

Whoosh...!

Blue Flame surged over her face.

Urd\'s form completely vanished, and,

[My... The blue fire is drawing out this form.]

Urd in Void form appeared.

[Blue Administrator. I take back what I said earlier. Although your stats haven\'t increased much, you\'ve been growing steadily in your own way.]

"Thanks for the compliment."

[Still, I hope you\'ll grow your stats more next time.]

The Void form of Urd was throwing some words of encouragement at Seong Jihan, but,

Crackle...!

As even that form began to be eaten away by the Blue Flame,

[...You\'re burning even this?]

Her expression turned serious.

[Oh no. This will disrupt the balance... This won\'t do. I need to say goodbye quickly.]

Whoosh!

Urd raised her right hand and rummaged inside her chest.

Then,

Hiss...

The Void began to scatter in all directions.

\'Why is she suddenly doing that?\'

As Seong Jihan was looking with puzzled eyes at Urd who had chosen death herself,

Ziiing...

A message window popped up in front of his eyes.

[Player \'Urd\' has died.]

[Level increases by 30.]

The death message appearing after the battle ended was the same as last time, but,

[$%(&^ reveals itself.]

[$%(&^ forcibly terminates the connection.]

[The battle ends.]

[Level increases by 30.]

The messages that followed were different from last time.

* * *

Just as he was about to rejoice over the 30 level increase, unlike the 60 from before,

\'What is this?\'

Seong Jihan frowned at the message with broken characters.

Was this how the Void form of Urd appears?

\'It\'s treated differently from player Urd.\'

But why was the name not showing up and broken?

This was like,

\'It\'s similar to the reaction when I tried to put the stick in the inventory.\'

As Seong Jihan was lost in thought, wondering if there was a connection between the two broken messages,

Crackle...

[Was the video you showed real...]

Suddenly, Yggdrasil\'s voice flowed from the stick that had been flashing light in resonance with the tower.

"Uh... What? You. You could still speak in that state?"

[She woke me up earlier.]

Yggdrasil waking up?

This would surely only cause interference at every turn.

\'I guess Urd\'s invasion to the top floor wasn\'t for nothing after all.\'

Should he be satisfied with just the level-up today?

As Seong Jihan was looking at the stick with his arms folded,

[I will cooperate with you.]

Unexpected words flowed from Yggdrasil.

"Why? After showing such loyalty."

Even if she offered to help, honestly, considering Yggdrasil\'s actions so far, it was hard to believe.

As Seong Jihan expressed his doubt, Yggdrasil answered.

[The Key of Life exists to completely overcome the Void. But Lord Urd is no different from the Void itself now. I can no longer cooperate with her.]

"Because of the Void... When you were a ghost earlier, you still seemed loyal?"

[That\'s because what you showed could have been a manipulated video.]

Now that she had seen it directly, she believed that Void Urd was real?

[Also, I only realized that I am the Key of Life after becoming this form.]

"Hmm..."

Yggdrasil spoke calmly.

Of course, she was an untrustworthy opponent, but,

"Fine. So how will you cooperate?"

Seong Jihan decided to at least hear her out.

[I am a fragment of the key. I can\'t use all of the original authority, but... I can use some.]

Whiiir...!

An even more intense light burst forth from Yggdrasil.

[\'Tower\' is upgraded to a sub-system.]

[\'Tower\' enters the main system, \'BattleNet\', as an official content and becomes the 5th game category.]

The 5th?

Seong Jihan\'s eyes widened at those words.

"Don\'t tell me... Survival, Invade, Defense, Dungeon. Tower is added to these 4 types?"

[Yes. This is the limit of the authority I possess.]

Wow.

What exactly was this Key of Life?

To be able to add Tower to the 4 types of games that were practically the foundation of Battle Net?

\'And she said this was the limit of her authority...\'

As Seong Jihan was looking with surprised eyes at the fading Yggdrasil,

[The final mission of \'Tower\' is the \'Tower of Martial Gods\'.]

[Players who clear the \'Tower of Martial Gods\' will be granted all authority over the \'Tower\' game type.]

[The current owner of the \'Tower of Martial Gods\' is player \'Seong Jihan\'.]

Rumble...!

With that message, the Tower of Martial Gods began to shake.

[The Tower of Martial Gods will be temporarily closed to update the \'Tower\' game type.]

All the players challenging the tower for stat red were expelled,

And as the Tower of Martial Gods entered update mode,

[Well, my role ends here.]

Swish...

The light quickly faded from the stick that had been emitting brilliant colors.

"...I still can\'t quite grasp whether becoming the 5th game type is a good thing."

[You\'ll realize it soon.]

"Hey, but..."

Seong Jihan tried to keep questioning Yggdrasil, but,

Thud...

The stick that had been shining with rainbow light had already turned into a withered piece of wood,

Lying on the ground.

\'...I can\'t feel any power at all. Has she disappeared?\'

Seong Jihan examined the piece of wood for a moment, then,

"Inventory."

He tried putting it into his inventory once.

Then,

Swish...

The piece of wood slipped through the inventory and fell.

\'Even though it\'s lost all its power, it still won\'t go in there.\'

For now, he would have to leave it here.

Seong Jihan left the piece of wood at the top of the Tower of Martial Gods,

Then read the message that had appeared earlier once more.

His gaze stopped at one part.

"It said the final mission of Tower is the Tower of Martial Gods... What were there final missions in other game types?"

[Who knows. This is news to me too.]

Even the Red Administrator, who was quite knowledgeable about BattleNet, seemed completely unaware about final missions.

\'Hmm... I should ask the White Administrator about this.\'

He was unreliable, but he might know more as a permanent administrator.

Thinking this, Seong Jihan went through all the messages he had received so far.

The fact that Tower had been incorporated as the 5th game was still surprising upon rereading,

\'But it still doesn\'t feel real.\'

Not knowing how it would actually be applied, he was just accepting it, when,

\'...Huh?\'

There was an item that caught his eye as he scrolled through the message window.

[Admin-42$@12!@ reveals itself.]

[Admin-42$@12!@ forcibly terminates the connection.]

[The battle ends.]

[Level increases by 30.]

\'This, the characters were broken earlier...\'

The characters that had been broken after Urd changed to Void state.

But now, checking the message again, characters he definitely couldn\'t see before were visible.

"Admin must mean administrator. And 42$@12!@..."

[It seems related to humanity\'s number.]

Seong Jihan nodded at the Red Administrator\'s words.

Those special characters in the middle, they would change like that if you changed the numbers in front.

\'4212 is said to be humanity\'s number, but Urd doesn\'t feel like humanity\'s administrator at all.\'

Rather, this seemed more related to the database update version number being 4212.

\'Can\'t someone give me an answer to this...\'

As Seong Jihan was scratching his head while looking at Urd\'s ID,

[You, what on earth have you done!]

Flash...!

The White Administrator urgently sent him a message.
