Chapter 603
Goddess Yoon Seah?
Coach Davis frowned as he looked at the Void Faction' representative, the purple smoke.
"...Do you think we'd tell you that?"
[Are you perhaps worried we'll use a ban card?]
The Void Faction, the most polite opponent humanity had met so far,
[Very well. Then we won't use any ban cards at all.]
When not told Yoon Seah's ranking, they gave up on banning altogether.
-Giving up on bans... That's sweet for us, isn't it?
-But why are they doing this?
-I don't know, is there a reason Yoon Seah must participate?
-And why are they calling her 'Goddess'? lol
-The 2nd ranked race in the league is weird...
It was appreciated that they voluntarily gave up on bans, but the Void Faction' intentions were unclear.
'It seems they're trying to meet Yoon Seah somehow. This is very suspicious...'
Coach Davis felt very uneasy about this, but he couldn't field Yoon Seah, who was ranked 1st overall among humans.
=The Void Faction' 2nd, 5th, and 8th ranked players have been banned!
=The opponent really didn't use any ban cards on humanity! We don't know their intention, but the start is favorable for us!
And the opponent who really didn't use any ban cards,
=The Void Faction select the 'Void Temple' map.
=A map that suits their race name! From humanity's perspective, we should have avoided this map!
They chose 'Void Temple' with their select card.
A map that seemed advantageous to the Void Faction just by its name.
But fortunately for humanity, the first match was to be held on 'Southgate', the map Davis chose.
-The first match is going completely according to our plan .
-But why is it always Southgate for us?
-It's familiar from national team matches.
-It's perfect for reconnaissance battles.
Humanity was selected to defend Southgate.
Players were summoned all at once on top of the fortress walls, and Gilgamesh, who viewers predicted wouldn't appear, appeared among them.
-Oh, Gilgamesh came out?
-But he looks completely different as a human...?
-He lost a ton of weight in just a few days .
-There are words written on his face? What does it say?
-Can't make out the letters...
Gilgamesh, who had become skinny with blood-red letters engraved on both cheeks, was muttering with sunken eyes,
"I'll do well... I'll do well..."
=P-Player Gilgamesh. Fortunately he's participating!
=But his appearance has changed a lot in just a few days.
=He says he'll do well... His mindset is good, but it's a bit creepy?
=There were reports of Seong Jihan taking him away personally... Is this the result of that?
As the commentators were commenting on the 1st ranked warrior Gilgamesh,
Beyond the fortress walls,
The Void Faction players on the attacking side also began to be summoned immediately.
"Huh? I thought they'd have no form like their representative..."
"Their silhouettes are clearly visible."
Unlike their representative who was in purple mist form, the Void Faction all had physical forms.
However,
"...Why do they all look so different?"
"It feels like various races are mixed together."
"Is that... a dragon race?"
"There's an undead too."
Unlike other opponents, they lacked uniformity.
Each seemed to be of a different race.
-What, why are they all mixed up like that?
-Is this allowed? Wasn't the Space League supposed to be a race vs race competition?
-Exactly ㅡㅡ; If this is allowed, we should just bring all our alien mercenaries too
As viewers complained about whether this was right, seeing the Void Faction' appearance,
"Ugh... Uuugh..."
"The final destination of life is ultimately singular..."
"Submit to the Void...!"
Paaaat!
The bodies of the Void Faction began to burst all at once.
=What on earth is happening!
=The opposing team's players have all exploded without exception!
=Submitting to the Void, what does this mean...
=Does this mean we win the first match like this?
As the commentators who witnessed the opponents self-destructing wondered if the first match would end like this,
Whoosh...
Purple mist rose thickly where their bodies had burst.
Then,
Whiiing...!
The purple fog flew quickly towards the fortress walls.
It spread widely, flying with momentum as if to engulf the entire fortress.
"What's that?"
"Let's attack for now!"
The human representative team, sensing this was ominous, concentrated their firepower all at once, but,
Shuuuu...
The long-range barrage was only absorbed into that mist.
It didn't inflict any damage.
However,
Only when Yoon Seah's Void arrows hit,
[Ooh!]
[Goddess! Oh Goddess!]
The mist rippled strongly, and voices full of joy could be heard from within.
"...Seah. Why are they acting like that?"
"I don't know. The vessel is broken now, so there's no goddess anymore."
As Yoon Seah tilted her head at the Void Faction' reaction,
[Quickly, receive Her...!]
Shuuuu!
The purple mist fiercely engulfed the fortress walls.
"W-what's this!"
"This... W-why is the damage like this?!"
Sssss...
The warriors at the front melted away instantly along with the fortress walls, and those at the back disappeared without even being able to resist.
"I'll do well..."
Even Gilgamesh, who had been repeating that he'd do well, was enveloped by the mist and disappeared.
Ziiing...!
Only Ariel and Sword King Yoon Sejin, who had Seong Jihan as their sponsoring constellation, managed to block it by raising their sword energy.
However,
[It's the power of heresy.]
[How dare you...!]
[Erase. Erase. Erase!]

------------------
As if their defense was irritating, the Void mist concentrated on the two of them.
Unable to defend in all directions, the two were also enveloped by the purple mist and disappeared.
-What the...
-When they self-destructed, I thought we'd quickly get 1 win...
-No wonder they're ranked 2nd in the league ㅡㅡ;
-Ah, but this is too anticlimactic, losing like this?
-That mist is seriously OP... How are we supposed to beat that?
-Wow, is today's match going to end before the fried chicken delivery arrives too...? lol
As the players were annihilated by the mist that swept in like a natural disaster, viewers expressed their frustration.
Just as people were thinking that the Gold League really wasn't a place for humanity,
-But why isn't it ending?
-Yoon Seah is still alive.
-Even the warrior aces all died, how could an archer...
-Maybe they're going easy on her since they called her 'Goddess'?
-Nah, no way lol It's still a Space League match after all...
Yoon Seah was surviving in the mist without any problem.
No, even beyond that,
[The Goddess has weakened...]
[Offer your bodies, serve Her...!]
Shuuuu!
The Void mist began to be sucked into Yoon Seah's body all at once.
"W-what's this?"
Yoon Seah was flustered as she watched the mist being absorbed into her, but,
[Submit to the Goddess...!]
Whiiing...!
The mist was sucked into Yoon Seah's body all at once, and gradually, the world in the screen began to clear up again.
And soon after,
=Uh... This can't be...
=Humanity has... won?
Along with the message that all Void side players had been eliminated,
Humanity's side won the first match.
* * *
-???
-What... We won?
-Did they just embrace Goddess Yoon Seah?
-This is ridiculous. lol
-I never imagined we'd get our first win in the Gold League like this
The Void Faction had swept away humanity, but as the game ended with them being absorbed by Yoon Seah at the last moment, viewers were dumbfounded, unsure of what they had just witnessed.
-Anyway, isn't this a free win? Sweet! lol
-If they get absorbed by Goddess Yoon Seah like this in the 2nd and 3rd matches too, is a 3:0 possible?
-Is this how we beat the 2nd ranked team in the league?
-But why is Yoon Seah a goddess?
-Even Yoon Seah doesn't know that. lol
As rosy predictions were being made about possibly taking an easy first league victory if the remaining matches went like this,
"...What's that?"
Seong Jihan, who had turned on the broadcast late while adjusting the Tower of Martial Gods, frowned as he watched the first match highlight.
'I shattered the Great Vessel of Void that Seah had...'
But why were those things doing strange things while calling her a goddess?
'I should check Seah's condition.'
If she turned into Cosmos again because of them, there would be nothing more troublesome than that.
Seong Jihan decided to check Yoon Seah's physical condition as a precaution.
The problem was that not just anyone could enter the Space League representative team's waiting room, but,
[The waiting room coordinates? That's a virtual space within the game...]
'So I can't go?'
[There's always a way. Create your avatar and enter. You're not going to use your power inside anyway, right?]
'That's true.'
As always, the Red Administrator provided Seong Jihan with an answer.
'What would I do without him.'
Ziiing...
A light flashed in the human representative team's waiting room, and Seong Jihan appeared in a faint hologram-like form.
"Uh... M-Mr. Seong Jihan?!"
"How did you get into the representative team's waiting room...!"
Many players brightened at the sight of him, but,
"Eek...! I'll do better from now on, I'll do better. So please. Please forgive me..."
As soon as Gilgamesh saw Seong Jihan, he prostrated himself and trembled.
"Get up. I have no business with you right now."
"Yes...!"
What kind of education did Karlein give him?
Seong Jihan looked quizzically at Gilgamesh, who had changed 180 degrees from before and read the characters written on his face.
"...Why does your face say 'I'll do well' too?"
"The Constellation wrote it, sir."
"Constellation, you mean Karlein?"
Gilgamesh nodded with sunken eyes.
How could a person change this much in just a few days?
'When I left him on the dead star, I was being lenient with Gilgamesh.'
Thinking this, Seong Jihan gestured for Gilgamesh to move aside.
"Alright. Go on."
"...Um. By any chance, how long do I have to stay under the Constellation..."
"Depends on how you do."
"Yes..."
As Gilgamesh retreated, shrinking his shoulders at Seong Jihan's words,
"Uncle! How did you come to the waiting room?"
Yoon Seah approached Seong Jihan with a surprised face.
"I came to check your condition."
"Me? Ah, because the Void Faction did strange things. You don't need to worry that much..."
"We need to prevent you from returning to your Cosmos state, so I have to check in advance."
"Ugh... That, we can start forgetting about that."
Yoon Seah scratched her head and talked about the changes she felt.
"My Void stat increased by 50."
"Void?"
"Yeah. My physical condition itself seems the same, but..."
At the mention of increased Void, Seong Jihan examined Yoon Seah closely.
'Void is gathering where the Vessel used to be...'
Could the Void Faction' strange behavior be an attempt to restore the Great Vessel of The Void?
Even so,
'We can just break it again from our side.'
As Seong Jihan was lost in thought about their intentions,
"M-Mr. Seong Jihan, Administrator!"
Coach Davis entered the representative team's waiting room, taking an even more deferential attitude towards Seong Jihan than before.
"Ah... You came because you were worried about player Yoon Seah. I was also very suspicious of the opponent's behaviour, so I planned to field her from the second match! Of course, that means humanity will lose, but Yoon Seah player's safety is more important than winning or losing the match!"
Coach Davis volunteered to field Yoon Seah before Seong Jihan even said anything.
If Yoon Seah didn't participate, no one could stop the Void Faction, so the free win would fly away.
But Davis thought that losing the match was better than going against Seong Jihan's wishes.
However,
"Ah. It's fine."
"Pardon...?"
"Seah. Don’t field her."
Seong Jihan's answer was unexpected.
'They're giving Void, so we should take it.'
It was needed anyway, so this worked out well.
"Are, are you sure that's alright?"
Seong Jihan raised the corners of his mouth and,
"Of course."
Nodded to Davis.
