"Seah, what\'s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Ah, I\'m fine, but..."

Yoon Seah glanced around and then whispered to Seong Jihan.

"...I think a vessel has formed."

"What? A vessel? You mean the Great Vessel of The Void has formed?"

The Void from earlier wasn\'t enough to form a vessel, so Seong Jihan was surprised by Yoon Seah\'s words. She waved her hands dismissively.

"No... not the Void. This new vessel isn\'t specifically identified as Void."

"...? What do you mean?"

"Um... do you want to take a look yourself, Uncle?"

Swoosh.

With that, Yoon Seah lifted her shirt to show her navel.

"...Hey, you don\'t need to lift it."

"Oh, really?"

Whisk.

She scratched her cheek and lowered her shirt again.

Swish.

Seong Jihan turned his gaze to examine Yoon Seah\'s stomach area closely.

\'Wait, why is the Blue attached there?\'

A small vessel combining Blue and Void was located near Yoon Seah\'s navel.

"What\'s going on with this?"

"The Blue resisted the influx of Void, and somehow they got entangled...?"

"And it turned into a vessel?"

"Yeah... I guess? The message window just says \'Fusion Vessel,\' so I\'m not sure either."

Fusion Vessel, meaning a vessel formed by fusion?

Seong Jihan nodded slightly as he looked at the vessel swirling with purple and blue hues.

The name itself fitted its form.

\'Still, I should break it.\'

Just as Seong Jihan decided to break the Fusion Vessel,

"But... when this vessel formed, I got a message from the Messenger."

"From the Messenger?"

Yoon Seah said something unexpected.

The \'Messenger\' she referred to was the 11th-ranked Void starfish-shaped constellation, the Void\'s proxy, who conveyed the will of the \'Black Administrator\'.

They had been in contact when Yoon Seah was a candidate for Arena Owner, but communication had been cut off since breaking the vessel...

"What did they say?"

"They said they have a secret message for you, Uncle. That\'s why they injected the Void."

A secret message to be delivered...

"If they have something like that, why not send it directly? Why make their followers do such strange things?"

"How would I know...? Anyway, they want you to take the Void that formed in the vessel."

He was about to break it right away.

Now, he would have to listen to what they had to say before deciding.

\'But this isn\'t a good place to talk.\'

The connector room where Space League team players were coming out one after another.

People were curiously watching Seong Jihan and Yoon Seah\'s actions from afar.

It wouldn\'t be appropriate to listen to the Messenger\'s message with all this attention.

"Let\'s go home and listen there."

"Okay."

Ziiing...

The two returned home through the portal Seong Jihan opened.

"Alright then."

Seong Jihan brought his hand near Yoon Seah\'s stomach.

And as he opened his palm,

Shuuuu...

Purple Void rose from her stomach and was sucked into Seong Jihan\'s hand.

[Stat \'Void\' increases by 150.]

150, huh.

"How much did your Void increase earlier?"

"It increased by 200 in the last game, so 350 in total."

"Then I guess the Fusion Vessel took up 200 Void."

It was not that big, but it absorbed quite a lot of Void.

As Seong Jihan was thinking this,

Shuuuu...

Smoke rose from Seong Jihan\'s hand that had absorbed the Void.

[Well, well. Can you see me?]

Then the shape of a starfish appeared.

"Why go through all this trouble? You sent messages just fine when warning me."

Didn’t they monitor him all day long?

Even when sponsoring constellations, they immediately warned that only two were allowed.

But now they were using the Void Faction to deliver messages by transferring Void.

As Seong Jihan expressed his doubts,

[The Black Administrator wished to convey their will without going through the system.]

"Without going through the system?"

Until now, all of the Black Administrator\'s messages had come through system messages.

Still,

"What\'s so great that you need to do all this?"

Since the Black Administrator hadn\'t been of much help so far, Seong Jihan asked without much expectation.

However,

[The will I am to convey is... \'How to become lazy.\']

The message from the starfish was beyond Seong Jihan\'s expectations.

* * *

"How to become lazy? What\'s that about?"

Yoon Seah, who was listening to the Messenger\'s words beside him, retorted as if dumbfounded.

But Seong Jihan knew what this meant.

\'How to become lazy... This was one of the conditions for becoming part of the Light Clan that I couldn\'t solve.\'

The White Administrator had said the original name of the Light Clan was \'Lazy And Greedy\'.

The test given to Seong Jihan on the Light Clan test device button had three parts.

\'The first was 200 White Light.\'

The White Light stat measurement, which seemed to be the most sensible criterion.

Seong Jihan\'s stats hadn\'t reached 200 yet, but thanks to the Tower of Martial Gods, reaching the goal was just a matter of time.

And the second was,

\'Void 100 or less.\'

The Void stat, which was the criterion for judging \'greed\'.

The less Void one had, the more the test subject was judged to be greedy.

When Void became less than 100, the \'You lack greed\' message had disappeared.

He had figured out how to meet these two conditions set by the test device, but,

\'That damn laziness was the problem.\'

What on earth did he need to do to become lazy?

After pondering with the Red Administrator, he tried reducing his stat red and even left some residual points when leveling up, but

-You are too diligent.

This message kept appearing on the test device, without even the \'too\' disappearing.

So he was considering a different approach, when,

"Does he really know how to become lazy?"

"...Is, is becoming lazy that important?"

As Yoon Seah was flustered by Seong Jihan\'s serious tone,

[Yes. The Administrator personally instructed me to convey the method.]

The Messenger continued.

[He says that to be recognized as lazy... one must not develop their light abilities, but leave them as is.]

By light abilities, they must mean White Light.

Seong Jihan pondered these words and asked,

"Leave the light abilities as is? Are you saying not to grow the stats?"

[He says it has nothing to do with the stat numbers.]

"Hmm... Since you\'re telling me anyway, why not explain in more detail?"

[He said you\'ll understand what this means when your light ability stat reaches 100.]

He would understand when White Light reached 100?

\'It\'s at 90 now, so soon enough.\'

After confirming that stat Red was given in the Tower of Martial Gods,

With the surge in interest from extraterrestrial viewers, Seong Jihan\'s White Light growth had accelerated.

At this rate, reaching 100 stat should be possible within a week.

The Black Administrator\'s message should be verifiable by then too.

"But why are you telling me this?"

[I am merely a messenger of his will. Interpreting his will is not my role.]

"I see... You don\'t know the intention. Is that it?"

[That is correct.]

"Nothing else to say?"

When Seong Jihan asked this,

The Messenger rotated once in mid-air.

[Yes. I have conveyed all of his will. Then, I shall take my leave.]

"Alright. Farewell."

Pssssss...

With those final words, the Messenger vanished into smoke.

After it disappeared,

[150 Void is consumed.]

The Void gained earlier disappeared completely.

\'How come none of the 150 remains?\'

In the past, accumulating Void stat was a problem.

Now it was expensive only when there was an actual need for it.

\'Still, there is a place where Void remains.\'

Seong Jihan\'s gaze turned to Yoon Seah.

More precisely, towards her stomach where the Fusion Vessel was.

"Seah, what should we do about the Fusion Vessel?"

"Ah, this... Are you planning to remove it?"

"Yeah. It could cause problems like last time."

At Seong Jihan\'s words, Yoon Seah\'s expression showed a slight disappointment, but,

"I understand. I did cause trouble before... It\'s better to destroy these things before they grow."

Recalling her Cosmos days, she asked Seong Jihan to destroy the Fusion Vessel.

As she agreed,

"You\'ve thought well."

Seong Jihan quietly observed the Fusion Vessel.

A vessel mixed with Blue and Void.

The Blue contained within was something he could control.

Just by thinking it should break,

Crack crack crack...!

The Blue inside the Fusion Vessel began to destroy it from within.

"It doesn\'t hurt, right?"

"No... It\'s just breaking on its own?"

"That\'s because the Blue is under my control."

The Fusion Vessel broke into pieces, its color gradually fading away.

The Void that had formed the vessel began to scatter from within.

\'I should absorb this.\'

Shuuu...

The purple Void began to enter Seong Jihan\'s hand.

[Stat \'Void\' increases by 150.]

\'It\'s not increasing by 200.\'

The Void that created the Fusion Vessel should have been 200.

Not all of it was absorbed by Seong Jihan.

"Is 50 Void left in you?"

"No? My Void stat is the same as before."

"Really?"

Then where did the 50 go?

As Seong Jihan watched carefully,

Sssss...

Void began to gather slowly at the spot where the Fusion Vessel had burst,

Forming a vessel much smaller than before.

And then,

Flash...!

Perhaps because she was receiving Seong Jihan\'s sponsorship, Blue light also mixed in, flickering where the Void vessel was forming.

"Oh... Another message appeared. It says the Fusion Vessel has been regenerated."

"I see."

"It didn\'t do this before... strange."

Yoon Seah tilted her head in confusion.

\'Did the Void side do something more than just sending messages?\'

This might be related to why the Void Faction kept calling her "Goddess."

\'Let\'s keep breaking it for now.\'

Seong Jihan continued to destroy the Fusion Vessel each time it formed, but

[Stat \'Void\' increases by 1.]

After absorbing 199 out of 200 Void,

Breaking the tiny Fusion Vessel no longer absorbed Void and it kept reforming inside Yoon Seah\'s body.

"It\'s not working anymore. The Fusion Vessel keeps reforming somehow."

"Really? It\'s so small now, I can barely feel it."

"Hmm... We\'ll need to come up with a different solution. Seah, tell me immediately if you feel anything strange."

"Okay."

Yoon Seah nodded at Seong Jihan\'s words.

"Let\'s maintain the constellation sponsorship for now. If it\'s removed, it might develop into a Great Vessel of The Void."

With the sponsorship in place, he could control that Fusion Vessel with his power.

He decided to allocate one of the sponsorships meant for warriors to Yoon Seah.

"Really? I\'m fine with it, but... isn\'t it a waste to sponsor me?"

"Not at all. Don\'t think like that, and try to understand the Fusion Vessel yourself."

"Okay. Got it."

With Yoon Seah\'s situation somewhat settled, Seong Jihan thought about the next step.

\'Well then... should I use this newly acquired Void right away?\'

He had been wondering where to get the Void stat needed to turn the World Tree undead.

Thanks to the unexpected Void followers, his ability had increased quite a bit.

\'Alright... I should go to Namsan right away.\'

Was the World Tree ghost there really Yggdrasil?

Thinking he might be able to solve this question now,

"Seah, I\'m going out for a bit."

"Okay, take care~"

Ziiing...

He opened a portal to Namsan right there.
