"Karlein. What\'s the matter?"

[It\'s about the Tower of Martial Gods. Can I participate too? I want to receive your abilities before others.]

Was that all he contacted me for?

Seong Jihan replied nonchalantly.

[Hehe. Great. Then can all our undead participate too?]

"Are they players as well?"

[Some are players, some aren\'t.]

"Only players will be able to. They need to pay experience points."

[Ah, I see. Then only the players will participate.]

Satisfied with Seong Jihan\'s explanation, Karlein changed the subject.

[But I\'m curious about something. Was that tower made to care for humanity? It seems humans are benefiting a lot from it.]

"Caring for humanity... That wasn\'t the main purpose for building the tower. But since it\'s already built, we are using it for that purpose too."

[Hmm. Is it because the human race lags behind in the Gold League?]

"That\'s part of it, but..."

Why was he so concerned about humanity?

As Seong Jihan wondered about Karlein\'s probing questions,

[It\'s because of you, master.]

"Your master? The Red Administrator is doing fine."

[No, I watched BattleTube and it seems you only focus on humanity. Then my master can\'t focus on important matters and gets distracted by trivial things.]

Well, from this guy\'s perspective, caring for humanity would be a \'trivial matter\'.

Seong Jihan smirked and asked directly.

"So what do you want to say?"

[I was thinking of helping a bit with caring for the human race.]

"You? How?"

[I could sponsor some human players as a constellation and let them use Gilgamesh, who I left on the dead star.]

"Use Gilgamesh..."

Seong Jihan pondered deeply at those words.

The Gilgamesh left on the dead star wasn\'t the original, but a clone.

He was going to eliminate any potential threats, but after seeing the real Gilgamesh disappear entirely, he just left it.

Surely.

-I\'ll let you live if you swear never to come to Earth.

-Ah, right. I should include staying on the dead star for about 100 years too.

Hadn\'t he proposed such conditions?

\'But now, saying we need him and calling him back...\'

Hmm.

From the Blue Administrator\'s perspective, it would be a bit face-losing.

But.

\'So what?\'

With humanity on a losing streak and facing relegation, was now the time to worry about such things?

Compared to the original Gilgamesh, the clone didn\'t seem to have ambitions to rule humanity, so the risk was lower.

\'And I can keep him nearby and monitor him constantly to make sure he doesn\'t do anything stupid.\'

Of course, bringing Gilgamesh\'s clone back wasn\'t entirely without risk.

But the benefits outweighed the risks.

However.

"Is his ability still useful?"

[He\'s recovered quite a bit. His level is around 400, and he handles the power of life quite well.]

"What\'s his class?"

[Warrior class.]

"Let\'s go."

If he was a warrior, Seong Jihan couldn\'t resist.

Seong Jihan immediately opened a portal to the dead star.

Then.

Beyond the portal, a black skull was staring at Seong Jihan with glowing eyes.

Clack. Clack.

[Oh no. Why did you come so quickly? I haven\'t told him yet.]

"You haven\'t told him?"

[Yeah. As you can see, he\'s like that.]

Swish.

As the black skull turned its gaze behind,

Gilgamesh\'s body buried in a pile of skulls came into view.

Unlike before when he only had a head, Gilgamesh now had somewhat of a body.

However, it was covered in skull heads, so it wasn\'t clear if the body was normal.

"...What is he doing there?"

[He can\'t stay on my star for free, right? I was collecting his accommodation fee with his body.]

"What exactly is he doing?"

[Just... well. An experiment to see how long he can withstand my power? I didn\'t treat him too harshly.]

Well, he did look somewhat peaceful in that pile of skulls.

As Seong Jihan was observing Gilgamesh\'s condition.

[I\'ll release him for now.]

Thud. Thud...

The skulls gathered on Gilgamesh started falling to the ground one by one.

As more than half of the skull heads attached to his body fell off,

"Ugh..."

Gilgamesh finally came to his senses.

"Constellation of the dead star... Has it already been 10 years?"

[No. It\'s been 3 days.]

"Only 3 days...? But."

He blinked, looking ahead.

"Why... is the Blue Administrator here? Am I seeing things?"

"You\'re not seeing things."

At Seong Jihan\'s words, Gilgamesh\'s expression hardened.

"...So you\'ve changed your mind after all. Have you decided to eliminate the potential threat?"

"Why? Were you planning to be a threat to me?"

"I swear not! I have absolutely no intention of going to a place like Earth. I was faithfully following your order to stay here for 100 years, and then I was planning to leave as a mercenary...!"

He waved his hands, pleading his innocence at Seong Jihan\'s words.

This clone certainly seemed to have a different temperament from the original Gilgamesh.

\'I should take him.\'

Seong Jihan made up his mind watching him.

"About that condition."

"Huh?"

"Shall we renegotiate it a bit?"

* * *

"...You want me to act as a warrior for humanity?"

"Yes. You\'re not a constellation, right?"

"That\'s true, but..."

"Or would you rather live here for 100 years?"

At Seong Jihan\'s words, Gilgamesh looked around.

The dead star full of undead.

To think he\'d have to live here with that black skull for a hundred years.

He had accepted it before to survive.

But if given a choice, it was definitely a place to escape from.

"...So I could even settle on Earth permanently?"

"Well? We\'ll have to see about that. For now, just think of it as living as a mercenary on Earth."

"A mercenary... Alright. I accept that proposal."

Gilgamesh nodded readily at Seong Jihan\'s words.

"You\'re accepting so quickly. No negotiation of terms?"

"Don\'t I have to follow whatever you decide anyway? Just do as you see fit. But... will I be able to compete as part of humanity?"

He wasn\'t born and raised normally on Earth.

As a being cloned from Gilgamesh\'s fragment, could he participate in BattleNet as part of the human race?

He expressed such doubts, but.

[As his race is included in the human race, it\'s possible to incorporate him.]

The Red Administrator, who had been quiet until now, informed that there was no problem.

"The Black Administrator was nitpicking about constellation sponsorship. Is this okay?"

[This is a method often used by the World Tree Alliance in the past. If they were going to take issue with it, they should have caught the elves long ago.]

Well.

Considering what those guys from the World Tree Alliance did when they were active,

The Black Administrator nitpicking about constellation sponsorship was honestly too trivial.

It was to the point where you\'d wonder if that constant administrator was only monitoring this and not doing any other work.

"They say there\'s no problem. So, will you go to Earth?"

"Of course I have to go!"

If it was possible to go,

It was better than rotting on the dead star for 100 years.

As he eagerly agreed, Seong Jihan proceeded with the incorporation right there.

Of course,

[...This is how you do it.]

Most of the practical work was done following the Red Administrator\'s instructions.

After completing various procedures like that,

[\'Test Subject 751\' is incorporated into NO.4212 Humanity.]

Gilgamesh was easily incorporated into the human race.

"By the way, was your official name Test Subject 751?"

"That\'s right. Since I\'m not Gilgamesh himself."

"Hmm... We\'ll need to change your name. What name would you like to use?"

Now that he had been incorporated into the human race, it would be easy to change his name using administrator mode.

Seong Jihan decided to offer this service since he was bringing him along anyway.

"Name...? Then, can I just use Gilgamesh?"

"I don\'t mind, but are you sure you want to use that name?"

"I may have been born as a clone, but I have his memories. If I can use the name Gilgamesh, I\'d like to use it."

"Alright. I\'ll change it for you."

Well, if that was how he wanted to live.

Seong Jihan nodded and changed \'Test Subject 751\'s name to \'Gilgamesh\'.

[It\'s a shame to lose the test subject, but with this, master won\'t have to worry about trivial matters.]

"You\'re quite the loyal servant."

[Hehe. Really? That\'s high praise!]

The black skull grinned widely, pleased, then its eyes flashed.

[By the way, has the World Tree Alliance completely collapsed? All their operations seemed to have come to a complete stop.]

"I suppose so? Urd absorbed all the elves after all."

[Then I\'ll withdraw my guys who were sent to explore the Alliance planets.]

"Do that. But, was there nothing unusual all this time?"

[We\'re observing 40 locations, but from afar, there didn\'t seem to be much difference.]

They were observing 40 places?

It was certainly convenient that this guy followed the Red Administrator.

As Seong Jihan was thinking this,

[Ah. There was one star where a pure white light was spreading. The light wasn\'t that strong, so we were just watching...]

Pure white light, could it be the White Light?

Seong Jihan, just in case, said to Karlein.

"Let\'s take a look at that star."

[Oh. It should have been... here. It was one of the Roots of the World Tree.]

Ziiing...

A red light spread from the skull\'s eyes.

A screen appeared.

The Root of the World Tree, where an S-class world tree was said to be.

That place, which had a blue glow like Earth, didn\'t show any particularly strong white light.

[Huh? It\'s not shining now? Was our observation wrong?]

Karlein tilted his head in confusion, but.

"...No."

Seong Jihan\'s expression hardened as he looked at the planet displayed.

And for good reason.

A giant clock of light was floating above the planet\'s surface.

"Can\'t you see that clock?"

[What clock all of a sudden?]

Could only those with White Light see it?

Seong Jihan watched as the clock\'s hands slowly turned.

\'Urd... I thought she\'d been quiet lately, but she\'s been putting that clock over the entire planet?\'

What on earth was she trying to do now?

As Seong Jihan was watching the minute hand move on the screen,

Swish.

On the screen Karlein had displayed,

[Heheheh. Found you.]

Urd suddenly revealed her face.

[Trace of light... I knew you\'d end up watching.]

She said that, then opened her palm and,

Crack!

She shattered the skull observing the planet.

Then,

[Ugh. Aaargh...! Wh-what\'s this? How did it reach even me...?]

Crack!

As cracks formed in Karlein\'s black skull,

Pure white light streamed out through the gaps.

And the light instantly gathered,

Urd emerged from within it.

"Now..."

She had a deep smile on her face, but then,

"Huh? Blue Administrator?"

Seeing Seong Jihan in front of her, she opened her eyes wide.

"No way. I thought I used the light observation... Was it you who used it, Blue Administrator?"

"...Light observation? I just saw a clock, that\'s all."

"Seeing the clock is using \'light observation\'."

Click.

Landing on the dead star, she said,

"It seems your White Light has grown a lot. To even observe that."

She slowly approached Seong Jihan.

The light spreading intensely with each step she took.

The dead star was now, as if bathed in sunlight, filled with pure white light.

\'...Has she gotten even stronger while I wasn\'t looking?\'

This.

The power of the White Light was overwhelming.

As Seong Jihan was trying to resist this somehow by drawing up his Blue,

"Hmm. I was planning to nurture it a bit more, but if the White Light has grown this much, I can cultivate it directly now."

Urd looked at Seong Jihan and smiled brightly.

"Now. Become my kind, Seong Jihan."

Then a dazzling burst of white light came from her.

The White Light Seong Jihan possessed was no more than a firefly before the sun compared to hers.

With such a difference in ability, it was only normal that one would definitely submit to the other.

However, to Seong Jihan, that command was,

"Get lost."

Completely blocked by the Blue, having no binding power at all.

Whoosh!

As the Blue and Red suddenly protruded from thin air and stabbed her,

"Oh my."

Urd looked at her stabbed body and,

"Really... the command doesn\'t work?"

Rather than contorting her face, she was deeply delighted.
