\'Why the hell is she happy?\'

Seong Jihan wondered as he watched Urd rejoice, despite being impaled by the Blue and Red power, claiming that her command didn\'t work on him.

\'This isn\'t the time to let my guard down.\'

It was the first time he had managed to land a solid hit on Urd\'s true form.

\'The method to maximize the power of Blue is...\'

Among the various attack options available while keeping the sword embedded,

Whoosh!

Seong Jihan chose fire.

The fierce flames igniting from the Blue and Red, a mix of red and blue hues, quickly began to consume Urd\'s body.

"This... hurts a bit, doesn\'t it?"

Whirr...

In an instant, a clock of light appeared before her engulfed in flames.

Tick. Tock...

As the clock ticked, Urd\'s body reversed to her previous state.

\'That damn clock is always interfering.\'

It seemed to have turned back time to moments ago.

Urd returned to her initial position when she first set foot on the dead star.

But.

"Oh my."

Even though time had been reversed,

The wounds from being stabbed and burned by the Blue and Red hadn\'t completely healed.

She stared at her punctured body with fascination.

Hiss...

A deep smile spread across her face as void leaked from between her wounds.

"That was almost dangerous, wasn\'t it?"

Whirr...

A clock of light appeared over her wounded area.

As the clock hands rotated counterclockwise, her wounds slowly began to regenerate.

Seong Jihan swung his sword at Urd, but.

Clang!

Another clock that appeared between him and Urd deflected the attack.

\'How annoying.\'

A clock that distorted the trajectory of all attacks, providing absolute defense.

He would inevitably lose the battle against Urd if he couldn\'t break through this.

Still.

\'I can see more of a strategy now than before.\'

It might have been impossible before.

But since Blue reached SSS rank, ways to break the clock of light became apparent.

Especially.

\'The wounds from the blue flames earlier aren\'t healing easily...\'

When Seong Jihan had thrust his sword and unleashed its firepower,

The blue flames created by the Blue and Red mixture clearly hindered Urd\'s regeneration.

Blue flames, huh.

It might be worth testing further.

Grip.

Seong Jihan grasped the Blue and Red tightly.

"Karlein. Gilgamesh. Find a way to survive on your own."

He warned the two.

"What...?"

[There\'s no time to argue. Gilgamesh! Run!]

The half-destroyed black skull behind Urd fled at lightning speed.

Gilgamesh, who had been wearing a dumbfounded expression, also turned and started sprinting with all his might.

In that brief moment, the two instantly created distance.

Even so, this amount of time would have been more than enough for Urd to launch several attacks.

However.

"Why is everyone backing away?"

From behind the clock of light, she wore a relaxed smile,

Simply observing what Seong Jihan was doing.

\'Is she confident that I can\'t break this clock no matter what I do?\'

If that were the case, he would have to shatter that complacency.

Hiss...

The blue energy disappeared from the edge of the Blue and Red,

And the red light contained within flashed intensely.

Withdrawing Blue, opening the gate to Hell - Guarding the Blue Opening Gate.

Urd, behind the clock, initially showed disappointment when she saw Seong Jihan\'s sword.

"Are you going to use Red? That won\'t work, you know."

But...

Infinite Annihilation God

Opening the Blue Gate

Blue Flame

Whoosh...!

As the flames turned blue,

"Hmm?"

Her eyes filled with interest.

And then.

Whoosh...!

The blue flames that were burning the entire dead star stretched towards the clock of light.

Whirr...

Just as it seemed the trajectory would be distorted, part of the flames touched the clock of light.

The clock was quickly consumed by the blue flames.

"...It broke through?"

Urd, who had been calmly observing from behind the clock, opened her eyes wide, but even so, she didn\'t try to escape.

Instead.

"What kind of power is this, really? How did something like this suddenly appear?"

She approached the burning clock, closely observing the blue flames.

It seemed she was fine even if the flames consumed the light clock.

No matter how strange the opponent\'s power might be,

This was the epitome of composure, confident that her own body would be fine.

Since becoming the blue administrator,

Seong Jihan wondered if there had ever been an enemy this careless against him.

\'...No, this is the chance while she\'s being overconfident.\'

Before she started responding seriously, he needed to burn everything.

Seong Jihan raised the blue flames to their limit.

And then.

Whoosh...!

The ground of the dead star began to melt instantly.

[Ah. Aah. My star... The headquarters of the revolution...!]

He could hear Karlein\'s screams from afar,

But Seong Jihan ignored this, pretending not to hear, and intensified the flames even more.

Then, the clock of light disappeared, engulfed by the blue flames.

"Wow, it\'s even melting this?"

Only then did Urd step back,

But the blue flames had already spread to her body.

"Oh dear..."

Tap. Tap.

Urd casually brushed off her body.

However, flames that could melt even a dead star wouldn\'t be extinguished so easily.

Her body was quickly engulfed in blue flames.

Hiss...

She was completely consumed by the blue flames.

Urd seemed to have completely burned away to anyone watching.

"Did we... get her?"

Gilgamesh stammered from afar, but,

\'I\'ll keep burning, assuming she\'s still alive.\'

Even though Seong Jihan couldn\'t sense the opponent\'s presence,

He didn\'t stop intensifying the blue flames.

After the blue flames had been burning the world for about 10 minutes,

[Ah... This... It\'s over...]

The blue flames had not only eliminated Urd but had also rendered the dead star beyond recovery.

[Sob... I only pledged my loyalty to my master... My legion, my revolutionary base is gone...]

Karlein, who had invited Seong Jihan to his star to help, only to have his base completely destroyed.

As the black skull without tears to shed sobbed,

\'Well, I do feel a bit sorry.\'

Seong Jihan finally scratched his cheek.

"Sorry. I\'ll compensate you later."

[My revolutionary comrades... My liches. My bone dragons. My hyper zombies... All swept away by the blue flames... They were just resting until the day of revolution...]

No wonder level-up messages kept appearing as the star burned.

So that was how many undead legions were hidden on the dead star.

\'I should withdraw it for now.\'

Whoosh...

As Seong Jihan withdrew the blue flames and returned the Blue and Red to its original form,

Karlein, who had been staring dejectedly at the center of his melted star, slowly opened his mouth.

[...So, is that monster from earlier dead? If so, I can endure the sacrifice of the star.]

"I\'m not sure. It doesn\'t seem like it."

If Urd had died from that attack, his level wouldn\'t have increased in small increments.

There would have been a moment when it jumped by dozens at once.

\'Did she escape from within those flames?\'

It shouldn\'t have been easy to escape once engulfed in the blue flames.

Just as Seong Jihan was regretting not finishing off Urd,

Whirr...

A pure white screen appeared before Seong Jihan\'s eyes.

And there...

[Really, I almost died for real this time, you know?]

A semi-transparent purple form.

Urd, formed from condensed void, was waving at Seong Jihan.

"I didn\'t want to show you this side of me."

A world made only of void, with Urd\'s physical body gone.

Seong Jihan frowned at the sight.

\'When she died in the Tower of Martial Gods before, it felt like the void was engulfing her......\'

Back then, Urd had clearly been consumed by the void, received a death sentence, and even had his level raised tremendously.

Urd was merely suppressing the inner void with force.

It seemed she couldn\'t completely overcome this......

"Was being buried in the void in the tower just a trick?"

[Back then, the blue administrator\'s stats were so low that you couldn\'t even bring up the clock, right? The situation is different from the tower.]

"......So, why bother showing me that you\'re alive?"

[Today, I was quite impressed by that blue flame.]

She, who had been floating in the air.

Step!

She set foot on the ground.

[As a reward, I thought I\'d show you a bit of my power.]

Then.

Rustle rustle rustle

The world that had been lush with greenery.

In an instant, it was dyed with void.

"Huh...?"

In the blink of an eye, the world where he had been completely disappeared.

The universe was revealed.

\'......Just by setting foot, the stars disappeared?\'

The scenery of the world he saw briefly earlier.

He was unsure, but it was probably the planet that was the root of the World Tree.

To erase such a massive world in one breath?

While Seong Jihan was bewildered looking at the scene revealed in the screen.

Plop. Plop plop

Among Urd\'s body made of void, flesh began to regrow on her face.

[In this void state, I revive by eating life-bearing stars like this.]

"......How very kind of you. To show the revival process step by step like this."

[And I plan to regenerate my left hand by eating Earth.]

Stretch

Urd raised her arm to show her left hand in the void state.

[So, if you want to prevent that, you\'ll have to burn even me in the void state for sure.]

"Burn even your void self...?"

[Yes.]

She opened her left palm and waved her hand on the screen.

[Well then, I\'ll be busy recovering for a while too. See you later~]

Beep!

The white screen that turned off automatically after those words.

Gilgamesh, who was watching this together from the side, said with a pale face.

"......Hmm. Can\'t I work as a mercenary somewhere other than Earth?"

"Would that work?"

"No, why does such a monster have to come to Earth... Death is ultimately certain..."

While Gilgamesh was grumbling at Seong Jihan\'s assertion.

[That woman...... Is she deliberately trying to raise you?]

The black skull tilted his head, which was split in half, and his eyes flashed.

"Raise me?"

[Looking at that insane void power, wouldn\'t we all be dead if she just came back here right away? But why is she stalling like this?]

"Right. She did say to burn even the void with the blue flame."

[Even earlier, she was focused entirely on just watching your flame. I didn\'t feel any will to fight at all.]

"Hmm......"

Urd, who only showed interest in the blue stat as the clock melted from the blue flame, was she hoping that Seong Jihan will upgrade one more level from here?

\'I\'m not sure exactly what she wants...... But anyway, if she had targeted me with that power, I would have died instantly.\'

Seong Jihan recalled the events in the Tower of Martial Gods.

The two whose stat difference was so great that Urd couldn\'t even summon a clock.

Although he had developed his abilities too.

There was still an enormous gap with the opponent.

That was why she kept her composure even during the earlier confrontation.

As Seong Jihan was pondering about Urd\'s true intentions.

[Hey head. But.]

"What?"

[The Dead Star. Looks like it\'s going to end as its name suggests.]

Rumble rumble

The Dead Star that had been set ablaze by the blue flame.

As Seong Jihan withdrew the fire, it seemed to hold on for a moment, but.

It was collapsing from the inside.

[......If I retrieve all the undead before it collapses. Then this star will completely disappear, you know?]

"Um...... Sorry."

[So I was wondering...... Can I stay on Earth for a while too?]

Click. Click

In a state of being split in half by Urd.

Clenching his cracked teeth.

The constellation of the Dead Star.

Harmonizing with the collapsing form of the Dead Star.

Karlein looked more pitiful than ever.

Of course, it was Karlein himself who had brought up the screen of the World Tree\'s root planet.

\'Anyway, I\'m the one who burned this star.\'

He should take moral responsibility.

"Alright...... Let\'s go together."

Whoosh!

As Seong Jihan opened a large portal.

"......Sigh. Are we going to Earth where that crazy woman said she\'d come back?"

Gilgamesh, who had been enjoying it until just recently, moved his heavy feet first.

[Sob sob...... I\'m sorry, my comrades......]

Whoosh!

Karlein sucked the remaining power of the star into his skull head.

[Goodbye...... my star...... my homeland......]

Lamenting so sadly that he would have wept if he had eyes.

He entered the portal that Seong Jihan had opened.

And.

[\'Dead Star\' is collapsing.]

[Level increases by 3.]

\'Why does this pop up at such a timing again.\'

Seong Jihan saw the message that the star had ended and smiled bitterly.

Then he too stepped into the portal.
