Chapter 604
After it was decided that Yoon Seah would also participate in the second match.
=Uh... The Void Faction are absorbed by player Yoon Seah, just like in the first match!
=Humanity takes the lead with 2 wins!
The game proceeded precisely the same as the first match.
The purple mist created when the Void Faction exploded engulfed all the human players, but.
[Submit to the Goddess...!]
They only said that when they reached Yoon Seah.
Shuuuu...!
The Void mist was sucked into her body all at once.
-The 2nd match follows the same pattern. lol
-Why on earth are they doing this?
-Because she's the Goddess. lol
-Let's just enjoy the free win.
-I thought it'd be hard to get even 1 win in the Gold League, but we're getting them so easily...
-Betting sites are on fire right now lol. They're saying it's the biggest match-fixing ever. lol
-For real, I'd admit to match-fixing at this point. lol
The Void Faction, boasted a powerful force, ranked 2nd in the Gold League.
In contrast, even considering the newly joined players, humanity was evaluated as having Silver League-level strength.
It was a situation where even humanity wasn't betting on humanity's victory.
Given how the game unfolded in this way, it wasn't unreasonable for match-fixing theories to emerge.
Meanwhile, after the second match.
"Uncle. This time my Void increased by 100."
Yoon Seah approached Seong Jihan in the waiting room, frowning.
Unlike the 50 increase in the first match, the increase doubled.
"Let me check your condition."
Saying this, Seong Jihan examined the movement of Void within Yoon Seah's body.
The Void that had started gathering where the Great Vessel of The Void used to be, was now trying to form a shape.
'At +150 it's only this much... but if the number gets bigger from here, it might be able to create a vessel.'
Of course, once it was complete, he could just break it from his side, but.
"How do you feel?"
"Me? I'm the same. The Void increased a lot, but I don't really feel any difference?"
"Hmm..."
Seong Jihan pondered this momentarily, then spoke to Coach Davis, who was watching him nervously from behind Yoon Seah.
"Coach."
"Yes. Yes!"
"Field Seah when it's the Void Temple map."
"Void Temple... You mean the map they keep selecting with their select card?"
"Yes."
The Void Faction had selected the 'Void Temple' map in both the 1st and 2nd matches.
So far, luckily, only the maps chosen by humanity's cards had been selected, but by the 3rd match, there was a high chance their card would be picked.
"Why not the temple?"
"The Great Vessel of The Void is just about to form a shape, so it might be problematic if the Void gets amplified too much in the temple."
"Ah... Really? I didn't feel anything at all, but there's such a risk."
As Yoon Seah understood, coach Davis behind her nodded repeatedly.
"I understand. I'll do as you say!"
"Yes. Please do."
Thus began the ban and select for the 3rd match.
The Void Faction' representative, who still wasn't using ban cards,
[Finally, it's the temple.]
Showed a pleased reaction when the Void Temple was selected with the select card.
[We'll see you there. Goddess.]
With those final words, the Void mist disappeared.
Just like in the 1st and 2nd matches,
They seemed to believe that Yoon Seah would appear in this match too.
However,
=Uh... Player Yoon Seah is excluded from the lineup for this match!
=I guess they were concerned about the Void Temple map?
=Now I'm curious how the opponent will react!
Contrary to the Void Faction' expectations, Yoon Seah was not in the lineup.
Meanwhile,
"This is the temple...?"
"There are no buildings at all..."
"It's just full of vortexes."
The human players summoned to the Void Temple, blinked their eyes as they saw purple vortexes filling the dark space in all directions.
They had thought it would be advantageous to the Void side since the opponent wanted to choose this map so badly, but this 'Void Temple' that they were summoned to was far different from what they expected.
Then,
Paaaat!
The Void Faction summoned above the purple vortexes,
"Ooh...!"
"Finally, this day has come..."
"The Goddess...!"
They all got excited with their eyes rolled back and,
Bang! Bang!
Started to self-destruct all at once, turning into Void mist form.
Up to this point, it was the same pattern as the previous match, but,
"Uh..."
"I-it's forming right here?"

------------------
Sssss...
The purple smoke created from their explosion was rising not just from where they self-destructed, but from the entire Void Temple.
[The Goddess...!]
[Finally returns...!]
The Void Faction rejoiced throughout the Void Temple that the goddess would return.
However, when the Void mist engulfed all the human players,
[...?]
[Goddess...?]
They finally realized that Yoon Seah wasn't among the humans, and
[Where... are you?]
They all fell into panic.
* * *
-??? Why isn't Yoon Seah out?
-Is there something wrong with her body?
-For real, there might be...? They keep injecting that smoke ㅡㅡ;
-Still, it's better she didn't come out for the 3rd match. She probably would have inhaled more smoke if she had participated in that temple map.
-For real, looking at what the Void guys are doing, it feels like they might corrupt her to their side.
The viewers watching the 3rd match were initially puzzled why Yoon Seah didn't come out, but separately, they had concluded that this map was suspicious.
And Yoon Seah, who was watching the situation,
"Wow... If I had participated in that map, my Void would have increased much more than before?"
Was also sensing the danger of the Void Temple through the game screen.
'If Void was injected from the entire Void Temple, the vessel might have been completed.'
They had fielded Yoon Seah in the 2nd match to gain Void and win this match, too, but that temple was apparently too dangerous.
If the Great Vessel of The Void was fully restored and Yoon Seah turned back into the Cosmos race,
He might have had to stab her with blue and red again.
'We can't go that far even if it means gaining a little less Void.'
Making the world tree undead could be delayed a bit.
Seong Jihan decided to prioritize Yoon Seah's safety more.
Meanwhile,
[How dare you interfere with our audience with the Goddess...!]
[This is unacceptable!]
[We were supposed to receive Her here...!!!]
After realizing Yoon Seah wasn't there, the Void Faction expressed their anger strongly, but,
-But you're all already dead? ^-^
-They're angry but have no one to take it out on. lol
-Ariel and the Sword King seemed to hold out a bit, but they just disappeared.
With no targets left to vent their anger on, as they had all been deleted by the Void, the 3rd match ended instantly.
"As expected, without player Yoon Seah, we just get crushed..."
"We've just been dying since coming to the Gold League."
"We've grown since we fought the Silver Dragon Clan, but it's still not enough..."
After the game ended, the players who came out of the connectors felt self-loathing as they reflected on their dying situation without even being able to resist each time.
Whether it was the Silver Dragon Clan or the Void Faction, their level was so far beyond humanity that there was no solution.
"Haaa... Jihan. I'm sorry. You maintained the constellation sponsorship, but we couldn't resist at all. If only I hadn't wasted time during the colonial period..."
Yoon Sejin, seemingly in a similar mood to the players, approached Seong Jihan and sighed deeply.
"It's okay. That's not an attack you can withstand at your current level."
"Whew... But Seah was not participating in the 3rd match because of that smoke, right?"
"Yes. The Void injection seemed too strong in the Void Temple. It might be different on other maps."
"Are you planning not to field her on other maps?"
"We should. She can withstand that much."
"Hmm... If so, wouldn't it be better to change my constellation sponsorship to Seah?"
Yoon Sejin said, pointing to himself.
With Seong Jihan's constellation sponsorship, one could use a tiny amount of the Blue stat.
He seemed to be suggesting using that to prevent any potential problems.
"What about you, Dad?"
"Whether I die in 1 second or 2 seconds, it's all the same."
The opponent was too strong anyway, so the constellation sponsorship was meaningless.
"Alright. That's a good idea. Let's do that."
Seong Jihan changed the constellation sponsorship from Yoon Sejin to Yoon Seah as suggested.
After these adjustments were made, in the 4th match that began,
[Why... didn't the Goddess come out?]
The Void Faction' representative tried to suppress his anger as he questioned Davis.
"She won't go to the Void Temple map. It's dangerous for player Yoon Seah there."
[Was it... Her will that was reflected?]
"That's right."
[Hah...]
Bubble bubble...
A boiling sound came from within the Void mist, then,
Pop.
A strange-looking face popped out.
-What the... That scared me
-I'm not one to criticize faces, but what kind of appearance is that...
-It looks like all the Void Follower races mixed together, That face might appear in my nightmares.
-There's a reason they stay in mist form;
The face, which seemed to be a mix of all the races belonging to the Void Faction, made viewers cringe as all the expressions were contorted in pain, despite being different races.
"Fine. We won't... choose the map, so please field the Goddess."
"A-ahem. I'll think about it."
"You'd better... think carefully."
The Void Faction' representative, who had been glaring at Coach Davis,
Sssss...
Said meaningfully as he retreated back into the smoke.
[If humanity gets relegated, I'll add you to this face.]
"What...? W-what do you mean by that?"
[To avoid that, you'll need victories...]
The opponent's representative disappeared after saying this.
Coach Davis drew the ban and select cards with an uneasy expression.
The 4th match proceeded according to humanity's will as the opponent's representative who was supposed to draw cards had disappeared.
-Will Yoon Seah not come out again?
-Their obsession with calling her 'Goddess' is a bit much, hey..
-But it's true that we need victories..
-If all Gold League opponents are this level, 1 or 2 wins are really important.
-The best scenario would be to get victories and keep Yoon Seah safe...
As people were debating whether Yoon Seah should participate in the match or not after seeing the Void Faction' grotesque behavior,
=Oh. Player Yoon Seah has participated in the 4th match!
=Will this flow similarly to the 1st and 2nd matches?
=It seems her not participating in the 3rd match was a choice to avoid the Void Temple map.
=Looking at how the 3rd match went, that seems like a good decision. The amount of purple smoke was clearly on a different level.
As Yoon Seah was included in the participant list, the commentators began their commentary with some relief.
Of course,
=The Void Faction explode all at once again!
=That mist form doesn't budge no matter how much we attack...
=This time they're pushing in without saying anything. The players try to block but are all consumed!
=My goodness, even though they're ranked 2nd, the skill difference is too great...
The flow of the game was exactly the same as the 1st and 2nd matches.
There wasn't much to comment on, but,
"Ugh..."
"We really can't stop this..."
In an instant, all the players were annihilated and towards Yoon Seah, who was left alone,
Shuuuu...!
The Void mist began to be absorbed all at once.
Up to this point, the situation was no different from the 1st and 2nd matches, but,
"Huh...?"
Unlike before, Yoon Seah's expression changed ominously as the Void was absorbed.
'Why is she like that?'
As Seong Jihan was watching her face closely,
Ziiing...
A blue light flashed briefly from her body, then
=Game over!
=Humanity, defying everyone's expectations, has defeated the Void Faction 3:1!
The commentary announced the victory as the mist cleared completely.
It was fortunate that they won, but,
'That light just now was definitely Blue... I should go to the BattleNet connector where Seah is.'
As the match ended 3:1, the players would return to the real world instead of the waiting room.
Seong Jihan decided to leave here as well and check Yoon Seah's condition directly.
"Ah. Uncle..."
Yoon Seah, who came out of the BattleNet connector, was touching her stomach area with a troubled expression.
