Chương 555: Chapter 555
Accessing the Informant W channel through a fake account.
The channel's main screen didn't look much different from other regular channels.
However,
[As expected, it was operated by the White Administrator.]
Unlike Seong Jihan, the Red Administrator immediately recognized that this channel was run by the White Administrator just by looking at the main screen.
'How did you know?'
[He's sending me signals right from the first screen. Look.]
Sssss.....
As a red aura swirled in Seong Jihan's eyes,
Letters began to appear on the pure white background.
[Contact me, Red]
[Without me, your work will fail too]
[If you cooperate, we can even face the Black Administrator]
[Do you want to control the Blue Administrator? I can help you]
[You need me, and I need you too]
Letters floating chaotically on the pure white background.
Most of the messages were telling Red to come to them.
The letters changed fluidly based on the content telling him to come, then,
[You're taking a long time]
[Can you see the letters?]
[Are you perhaps Red?]
[Come to these coordinates. Let's meet there]
As Seong Jihan waited quietly on the first screen, it was now even giving meeting coordinates.
'This one's quite obsessive, huh?'
[He wanted HeavenNet just like I did.]
'As a permanent Administrator, he's already the absolute being of this world, so why try to change it?'
[Isn't the Black Administrator there as an absolute being? Also, White seemed to have something he wanted to do through infinite energy sources.]
'Hmm... I see. So you have no intention of going?'
[None at all. He's ultimately planning to take my work. It's better to stay here than that.]
Red showed no wavering at all despite White's pleas to meet.
It seems he planned to stay inside Blue and Red.
'Then I guess I'll pretend I didn't see the message and just look around the channel.'
Thinking this, Seong Jihan examined the playlist.
While it used to cover minor gossip before,
These days it was all about conflicts between the Red Administrator and the World Tree Alliance.
'Wow, even the one from two days ago is up.'
The Informant W channel had everything uploaded without fail, including the video of the clash with the High Elves who had Yoon Seah's face.
-Uh... why did the Red Administrator spare those elves?
-He just ate the World Tree and disappeared.
-The World Tree Alliance seems to be developing countermeasures, unlike before when they were helpless.
-But the World Tree still got taken in the end. lol
-I heard the Alliance is withdrawing from frontier planets, don't carelessly go plant flags on empty planets.
-For real, you might get taken again if this situation gets resolved.
'It seems the Alliance is withdrawing.'
Perhaps because those who could watch the videos had Constellation-level accounts,
The comments contained quite high-level information.
'Frontier planets, were those the ones with D-rank and C-rank World Trees?'
World Trees that were like fuel, filling up his Stat Red.
It was quite useful to go charge up there whenever his stats dropped, but it seems the Alliance wouldn't tolerate this anymore.
'I was thinking of leaving some for Red charging... I guess I'll have to raise Eternity before they all withdraw.'
Stat Eternity's growth had slowed after exceeding 50, requiring 2-3 World Trees to increase by 1.
But since they were withdrawing, he should at least raise this.
Having decided this, Seong Jihan looked through the comments to see if there was anything else to gain.
Then,
-But why have all the elves' comments been deleted? They were complaining about why their videos were leaked.
-Yeah, they used to always like each other's comments to take the top spots. lol
-Did they reach some kind of agreement?
-An agreement when the World Tree elves had their videos unilaterally stolen? There's no reason for the Alliance to take such a submissive stance.
-Honestly it's good for us watching, but this channel is strange.
-For real, how do they steal these videos? Does this channel have an incredible backer?
-To make the Alliance back down, it must be a permanent Administrator-level entity...
-Permanent Administrator? W? Could this be...
-Suddenly the color white is catching my eye...
An entity that could make the World Tree Alliance back down, something related to BattleTube.
Add to that the naming with W.
Viewers were gradually figuring out who was behind this channel.
'The fact that the World Tree Alliance backed down was a big clue. And seeing that the Alliance backed off, it seems they've also figured out who owns this channel.'
Was this all the information he could get from the comments?
Seong Jihan exited the video he was watching and returned to the channel's main screen.
Then,
[Red Administrator]
[Have you perhaps not completely dominated Blue yet?]
[I will help you]
[I won't ask for anything in return, I won't demand anything]
[Just meet me]
The messages on the white background had changed again.
The other party kept generating messages, trying to meet the Red Administrator somehow.
'How persistent.'
[Do you understand my feelings about not wanting to go to White?]
'Yeah.'
He wouldn't want to receive support from someone like this again, either.
Seong Jihan nodded and turned off the screen.
'But is it okay for him to be active like this while sealed?'
[Technically, it shouldn't be. But the White Administrator isn't an easy opponent either. He must be exploiting gaps in the seal to be active.]
'Hmm. Then I guess I should pass the coordinates White gave to the Black Administrator.'
Now was the time to focus on dealing with Green.
If White kept obsessing over this and intervened as a variable, it wouldl become troublesome.
[That's a good idea. However, if you do that, White will realize I read this. If you're okay with that, go ahead.]
Coordinate addresses that only the Red Administrator could recognize.
But if Void forces striked there, did that mean they would realize Red tipped them off?
'Whatever. We'll have to accept that much.'
Seeing how obsessed he was, it seemed he would try to contact them somehow if given more time anyway.
Before that happened, he should tell Black to check on the seal.
'I'll raid the remaining World Trees and then talk to Seah.'
Having decided this, Seong Jihan moved to raid lower-grade planets.
* * *
[Stat Eternity increases by 1.]
'Finally reached 70.'
After hearing about the Alliance's withdrawal plans, he decided to raid everything before that and was able to grow Stat Eternity to 70.
[So you could have finished all those planets in a day if you wanted.]
'I was saving them until now. As Red charging stations.'
Planets with C-rank or D-rank World Trees were actually places he could easily absorb just by dropping by.
No matter how much they tried to counter the Red Administrator through Blue Knights,
The situation was already over before reinforcements could arrive.
'From now on, I'll need to absorb B-rank World Trees to charge Red.'
And from that level, he probably wouldn't be able to raid as easily as now.
He shouldn't use Stat Red recklessly like before.
Thinking this, Seong Jihan decided to call it a day.
Sssss.....
As he returned to Earth and came home,
[Master... if the coordinates move too much like earlier, controlling the shadow is not easy.]
Ariel, who had been quiet until now, spoke up.
'Oh? I did go to quite a few places today.'
[I fell several times earlier. It's fortunate the elf guard's eyes were covered. Next time, if you're going to invade multiple places like that, I recommend keeping Kim Jihun inside the house.]
'I guess we'll have to.'
Even with Ariel as a medium for control, it seemed too frequent coordinate changes were difficult.
Seong Jihan nodded at her words and went upstairs.
And as he materialized,
"Oh, uncle. You're back?"
Swoosh.
Yoon Seah opened the door and came out to the living room.
"I looked downstairs earlier to see your face, uncle, but Kim Jihun was just repeatedly falling and getting up by himself."
"Really?"
"Yeah. The elf guard was just watching with blank eyes... It was a strange scene."
"Shadow control has settled, thanks to Ariel, but I went to many places this time, so that happened."
"Huh? Ariel? Why is Ariel involved?"
Yoon Seah blinked.
Come to think of it, he told her about sealing the Shadow Queen, but she didn't know about Ariel appearing after that.
Sssss.....
As Seong Jihan raised shadow energy from the floor,
A shadow elf revealed herself there.
"It's been a while, Seah."
"Hmm, you're not... the Queen, right? You look exactly the same."
"The Queen has been completely sealed."
"But... Ariel, weren't you also an avatar of the Queen? How did you come back?"
"I don't know the details either. For now, I'm just helping the master."
"Hmm."
Seeing Ariel's return, rather than welcoming her like before, Yoon Seah was closely examining her.
Probably because the Queen had properly backstabbed them,
She didn't seem to trust Ariel, the Queen's avatar, either.
"Well, she's under my control now. So you don't need to look at her like that. And her role is essential for remotely controlling Kim Jihun."
"Is that so? But he was falling a lot earlier."
"That's because I raided over 100 planets today."
"Over 100... planets?"
Yoon Seah just blinked at hearing that number.
Was it possible to raid that many in a day?
"Wow, Administrators really are on a different level."
"Well, I've raided all the frontier planets. This won't happen again from now on. More importantly,"
Seong Jihan returned Ariel to his hand and brought up the main topic.
"Can you send a message to the Black Administrator?"
"Yeah, I can send it through the messenger. But getting a reply is a separate issue."
"Hmm, is that so? The White Administrator being active seems worth getting a reply, doesn't it?"
At Seong Jihan's words, Yoon Seah's eyes widened.
"The White Administrator is active...?"
"Yeah. You can see it too, right? The Informant W channel."
"Informant W?"
At Seong Jihan's words, Yoon Seah turned on BattleTube and searched for this channel.
Then, looking at the most recently uploaded video, she frowned.
"What the... These High Elves... they all have my face? Did they already do plastic surgery?"
"Oh, I left them alone for now."
"Ugh... it's creepy how identical they are. These guys."
Yoon Seah looked at the elves that looked exactly like her, then checked the comments.
"Oh... the Constellations' deductions make sense. If it's enough to make the Alliance withdraw, the backer must be either White or Black. Since BattleTube is White's domain, it means the White Administrator has moved."
"That's right."
"But... at this level, it seems like the Black Administrator knows and is allowing it? There's no way Black wouldn't notice what even the Constellations have figured out."
It seemed opening a channel was within the allowed range even while sealed.
Well.
That was probably why he was acting so openly.
"But sending meeting coordinates to the Red Administrator probably isn't allowed."
"Meeting coordinates...?"
"Yeah. It's showing on the BattleTube you opened too."
The same meeting coordinates appearing on the BattleTube Yoon Seah had opened.
Seong Jihan wrote down the address and showed it to her.
"He keeps telling me to come here, so can you check if he's properly sealed?"
"Ah, I see. This could be a problem. I'll send it to the messenger right away."
Yoon Seah sent the coordinates Seong Jihan showed her directly to the messenger.
Then,
"Oh, it looks like we might get a reply. It says to wait a moment."
"Alright."
After waiting for a while sitting on the sofa,
A brief message arrived from the messenger.
[Upon inspection, a violation of the agreement was discovered]
[White's seal, extended by 1000 years]
"...It's already done?"
"Yeah. Looks like he took care of it personally."
The Black Administrator sure was strong.
To finish the job and extend the seal by 1000 years in such a short time.
"But the channel is still maintained... Seems like he's allowing this."
"Then what's the point of extending the seal by 1000 years?"
Seong Jihan chuckled and looked at the BattleTube Yoon Seah had brought up again.
There,
The messages telling the Red Administrator to come back and meet were gradually changing.
