“You... you...”

    “I believe it’s the first time we’ve ever met in person.”

    With the only light in the dark room coming from the monitor, the appearance of the Eye looked even more menacing.

    Roswyn stared at the Eye in terror.

    “Ah... ugh... uhh...”

    She remained frozen, staring at the Eye, then slowly reached out a trembling hand.

    “G-go away.”

    A faint light began to emanate from Roswyn’s hand.

    “...Divinity.”

    The Eye narrowed slightly as it observed the light.

    “So this world even grants divinity to the likes of you.”

    “G-go away...”

    “However.”

    “...Ah!”

    In the next moment, Roswyn’s arm was grabbed by the Eye’s tentacle.

    “Ahhh!”

    Without giving her a chance to resist, Roswyn’s body was lifted and slammed against the wall of the debug room.

    “We’re both exhausted, aren’t we?”

    “Let... let me go...”@@@@

    Just like that, the Eye easily subdued Roswyn.

    “Not a chance.”

    The source of all the variables that twisted what could have been an easily won war, the one who created the elements that brought it to this state, was right in front of it. RA?NO??Β?S?

    There was no way the Eye would treat her kindly.

    “How... how did you get here...”

    “Your trail was quite sloppy. If you didn’t want me to find you, you should have been more careful when recalling those demons in large numbers.”

    “Ugh...”

    “Still, I’m amazed you’re still alive after using such a significant amount of power.”

    The Eye whispered as it looked at Roswyn, who was choking.

    “So, you’re the current administrator of this world.”

    She was exhausted, but the faint divinity within her was still detectable.

    The divinity that originally belonged to the Sun God.

    “How amusing. Even if it’s just an imitation, a mortal has become the world’s administrator.”

    With the Star God, Sun God, Moon God, and even the Demon God having lost control over the world,

    It was only natural that Roswyn, who had entered the debug room and held faint divinity, would become the world’s administrator, the GM set by the Sun God.

    “But that position isn’t meant for a mortal. You’re already paying the price.”

    “...What?”

    “Don’t you feel your life force drying up?”

    Roswyn began to sweat nervously at those words.

    “What... what are you saying...”

    “A final offer.”

    “...Huh.”

    The Eye tightened its grip on her neck, speaking in a menacing tone.

    “Hand over the position of world administrator to me.”

    “...?”

    Roswyn, despite her pained expression, tilted her head in confusion. The Eye gradually loosened its grip on her neck.

    “Gasp, gasp...”

    “It would in your best interest to accept.”

    As Roswyn exhaled, the Eye spoke in a slightly softer voice.

    “If you continue like this, you’ll soon wither and die. You must know that well.”

    “...”

    “So let me take over your administrator rights. It’s a position that needs someone appropriate.”

    Roswyn hung her head, silent.

    “If I become the administrator, I’ll let you live.”

    “...?”

    “If you don’t trust me, we can make a contract. You can trust a contract made by the system, can’t you?”

    The Eye brought up a system window in front of Roswyn.

    Do you agree?

    Yes/No

    Roswyn stared blankly at it for a moment.

    “...What if I refuse?”

    She asked in a low voice, and the Eye, annoyed, tightened its grip again.

    “Urk... ack...”

    As the world’s administrator, she had become a semi-immortal, making it impossible to kill her through physical means.

    “...”

    Did she know that?

    No, she couldn’t have.

    She was terrified until the end, even regretting her choice.

    So why?

    This fool managed to ruin everything, and even pushed it to this extent in the end?

    “Ugh...”

    The Eye had little time left to maintain its form.

    The fatal blow from the two heroes.

    Due to that blow, the Eye’s body had already started to dissolve.

    “...Damn it.”

    In such a state, even the option of successfully making a contract with Roswyn to take over her body was gone. The Eye began to look around helplessly.

    “...”

    But the debug room was pitch black.

    It was the familiar darkness the Eye had always seen in its lifetime.

    The darkness it never wanted to see again after crossing the dimensional walls to watch joyful scenes was now everywhere.

    “I can’t return to the spirit form like this...”

    Muttering in a voice full of hatred, the Eye started to move forward slowly.

    “...Ah.”

    Then, it saw a faintly glowing light and approached it.

    “Is this... the tool for management...”

    The ‘computer’ used by the Sun God to manage the world came into the Eye’s view.

    “Ha, haha...”

    Suddenly, the Eye began to laugh.

    “Hahaha... hahaha...”

    Soon after, the Eye’s tentacles extended towards the monitor.

    - Tzzzzz...

    The tentacles began to be sucked into the monitor.

    “The experience you went through... guarantees their happy ending?”

    The dissolving Eye, putting strength into its tentacles, muttered to itself.

    “In that case, I’ll... negate that experience!”

    And shortly after.

    “The true determiner of your fate... Dark Tale Fantasy!!!”

    The debug room was engulfed in powerful sparks.

    “Even if I use all the power of my main body... I’ll cleanly erase that world.”

    As its body nearly finished dissolving, the Eye added with a smirk.

    “So now, am I the main body?”

    .

    .

    .

    .

    .

    Meanwhile, in the Empire.

    - Rumble rumble...

    “...!?”

    The people who had been cheering looked up at the sound coming from the sky.

    “...What, what is that?”

    “The sun...?”

    Murmurs spread from all around.

    - Rumble... rumble rumble...

    Something that had been pretending to be the sun was breaking into pieces and collapsing.

    - Ssshhh...

    As the grotesque tentacles and shell fell away, even the huge eye that had been staring down closed and vanished.

    Finally, the true sun appeared, casting its warm light on everyone.

    “...Huh?”

    Among the people watching in awe, Frey muttered with a bewildered expression.

    “I haven’t... split the sun yet...?”

    “Huh?”

    Between Frey and Glare, a small system window popped up.
