The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 390

They said they would increase my stats by 500...

"If I convert this with my remaining points, it's 5000."

In the past, it was difficult to increase stats with more than 20 remaining points.

Now, the efficiency has improved, so even if I put in 100,000, it only increases by 1.

Still, increasing stats was a difficult ability.

But to guarantee a minimum of 500...

"It's tempting, even if only for a moment."

It's hard to believe they would actually increase it by 500.

Even if they have enough power in those eyes to do so, it's a problem.

If something like that enters my body, will I just stay still?

They will probably try to take over my body like they originally intended.

-Huh. Could it be that even the Red Administrator's hand was suppressed...

-Wow... This is crazy...

-This doesn't make any sense, though.

-It's not Sung JiHan, right? The one who couldn't even summon a support player?

-Did the Administrator's hand really hit? I can't believe it.

-Are they trying to scam us in the arena?

Meanwhile, the viewers who thought Sung JiHan had suppressed the Administrator's hand were astonished.

Even though they knew he was powerful, it was beyond their imagination that he could easily suppress the Administrator's hand.

-But those eyes... Are they a trace of the Administrator?

-Sung JiHan!! If you bring that to me, I'll buy it for 100 trillion GP!

-Can you do it with 100 trillion? You'll have to spend more.

-So you're trying to take advantage of me.

When one viewer valued Sung JiHan's eyes at 100 trillion GP, the other viewers criticized him for trying to scam.

[The Dragon Lord has sponsored 1 billion GP.]

"Give me your eyes. In return, I will give you 1 trillion GP and the authority to rule over the dragon race for 100 years."

[The Sun King has sponsored 1 billion GP.]

"Give me your eyes. Then I will turn you and your planet into a sun."

The two Great Archbishops related to the Red Administrator sponsored 1 billion GP and asked for Sung JiHan's eyes.

-The Dragon Lord and the Sun King...!

-1 trillion GP, is that acceptable?

-It seems cheap, but if the Great Archbishops ask for it, we have to give it to them, right?

-The Sun King revealed himself, wasn't he supposed to be invisible?

-Wow, this channel is gathering all the missing people...

-This channel is becoming quite the hot topic.

-I've been watching BattleTube channels for 300 years, but I've never seen a channel that explodes with incidents like this.

-I've been watching for a thousand years.

The appearance of the Great Archbishops.

And when the Sun King, who had been quiet, revealed himself, Sung JiHan's chat exploded with reactions.

"This is insane."

Well, I expected it to be a hot topic since the Red Administrator's hand appeared.

But I didn't expect the Great Archbishops to show up.

Sung JiHan bought the sponsorship messages.

"Even if I understand the authority to rule over the dragon race, isn't turning me into a sun asking me to die?"

Sun King, this is not normal.

Sung JiHan thought that and lowered his gaze.

Squirm. Squirm.

"Depending on your talent, it can even go up to 1,000."

The eyes that appeal even more, saying that they can go up to 1,000 now.

But Sung JiHan didn't want to be eaten anymore when he could go up to 1,000.

"Let's first collect the remaining flames behind."

Whoosh...

Among the flames that surrounded Sung JiHan, the flames at the back that didn't go out when touched by the Shadow Sword.

He went there and collected the flames.

"My stat has increased by 1."

"My stat has increased by 2."

Then, the stats that were difficult to increase before started to increase rapidly.

After collecting all the flames, the final completed stat was 50.

"...It's to the point where it's a waste to invest remaining points."

The remaining points that had disappeared until now came to mind, which was regrettable.

In fact, he didn't have any stats to raise other than the ones he had accumulated until now, so he had to suppress these feelings.

Instead.

"Even if I can't absorb everything, maybe these blood vessels will."

Sss...

The red blood vessels in his eyes had expanded quite a bit.

Sung JiHan felt that even within them, the power of fire was contained.

Swallowing his eyes could pose a risk of being dominated by it, but maybe the blood vessels would be okay?

"Let's give it a try."

Sss...

Sung JiHan raised his sword.

[What are you trying to do again...]

"Let's cut these blood vessels."

[Blood vessels...]

"Ah."

Honwonshingong, Samjaemuguk, Taesanapjeong.

Thud!

Sung JiHan, who had used the ultimate vertical slash, Taesanapjeong, cut the blood vessels.

He held the severed blood vessels.

And then.

Whoosh...

The blood vessels in Sung JiHan's hand burst into flames.

[Stats have increased by 1.]

That meant his stats had increased by 1.

"Oh."

Is this a goose that lays golden eggs?

Sshh... Sshh...

Sung JiHan continued to cut the blood vessels while using Taesanapjeong and Hengsocheongun.

[What are you doing? Eat. Eat. Eat.]

"It's okay. I can't split a goose that lays golden eggs."

[Me... a goose?]

"Yes."

Chiing!

Sung JiHan collected the blood vessels that were spontaneously generated from his eyes and continued to acquire stats.

And when his stats reached 60.

"Hmm... I can clearly feel that the sensation is different now."

Sung JiHan felt that the absorbed power was trying to break free from his control.

Originally, before coming here, his stats were around 30.

But now, through the hands of the red administrator, the value had jumped to 60.

The internal flames were trying to break free from Sung JiHan's command.

"I should stop here for now. First, I need to control the internal flames."

Ssuh...

Although the blood vessels in his eyes continued to grow.

Sung JiHan stopped cutting at this point.

[What are you doing? Why aren't you eating more?]

"I'm full. If I eat more, I'll get sick."

[...You have talent. Definitely.]

When Sung JiHan drew a clear line, the red eyeball flashed with light.

He didn't seem discouraged even though the attempt to dominate Sung JiHan had failed.

Sung JiHan silently stared back at the eyeball that was watching him intently.

"Can I put this in my inventory?"

He asked, pointing at the empty space.

And then.

Ssuh...

The space in front of Sung JiHan distorted.

"Indeed, I thought you wouldn't eat it."

The owner of the arena revealed himself.

* * *

The star of the godless, the outskirts of the fullness.

[...Sigh.]

The wandering god sighed softly as he displayed the channel screen of Sung JiHan.

The hand of the red administrator.

I knew it would come out from there.

"...Bait. Yes, that's bait."

The message that came out of the administrator's hand.

It clearly referred to Sung JiHan as bait.

Bait.

A prepared offering to catch the red administrator.

It was clearly a trap, and if he tried to take it, he would definitely give a clear reason to the black administrator and the white administrator, the two absolute beings of the universe.

Even if he gathered all his strength, he would end up being annihilated.

However.

"If I retrieve that... the great undertaking will be complete."

The god's gaze sank deeply.

He knew it was bait, but it was so attractive that he wanted to bite it.

The hand of the red administrator, severed by the black administrator.

It contained a significant portion of the power that the red administrator originally possessed.

If he retrieves it, the great undertaking that the god has been pursuing for a long time will be completed immediately.

"The safe path is to turn the Golden Wheel of Ashoka..."

The Golden Wheel of Ashoka that turns back time.

Through it, the wandering god has been accumulating power little by little for a long, long time.

Everything is for the sake of surpassing the administrators and achieving the "great undertaking."

The infinite wheel kept rolling endlessly.

And the god silently endured within it.

However.

"This time, the situation has changed too much."

The absolute beings of the Battle.net, the black and white administrators, felt something strange.

Among them, the black administrator even took out the red hand that he had kept in the depths of emptiness.

They still couldn't completely identify what they were up to.

But if more evidence is found, they will try to intervene.

"If I turn the Golden Wheel of Ashoka now, there is a high chance of failure."

As the encirclement tightens by the black and white administrators.

If the movement of the Golden Wheel of Ashoka is blocked by them, everything will be ruined.

"However. If I turn the Golden Wheel of Ashoka now... the chance of failure is less than 1 percent."

If he uses the Golden Wheel of Ashoka before the encirclement is established, this "round" that went wrong will become a lesson.

He will be able to start over from the beginning.

Yes.

If he ignores the 1 percent chance of failure, it will work.

However.

"If Sung JiHan dies at the hands of the Abyss Master, the chance of failure is 0 percent."

If Sung JiHan loses to the Master of the Taiji and disappears.

The black and white administrators will lose the means to intervene in this world.

Then, there will be no problem with turning the Golden Wheel of Ashoka.

"And I can take the achievements he obtained with me..."

The "great undertaking" that has been progressing without major variables until now.

But this time, the butterfly effect brought about by the existence of Sung JiHan is too great.

He had to choose whether to turn the Golden Wheel of Ashoka and start anew.

Or wait for Sung JiHan's death.

"...I didn't want to go on an adventure."

And in front of the two choices.

"The impact of his death on me is too great."

He chose to wait for Sung JiHan's death.

* * *

The owner of the helmeted Arena.

From the head in the shape of a cosmic form, two stars acting as eyes emitted light.

"The red administrator was the most outstanding among the temporary administrators."

He spoke as he watched the wriggling red eye on the ground.

"He advanced the Battle.net system by one step and developed and modified numerous codes. There was once talk of him becoming a permanent administrator... but he fell short of the criteria to become a permanent administrator and eventually had to fulfill his term and step down."

[Specious argument. It is impossible to meet the criteria to become a permanent administrator. The black and white administrator does not let go of their privileges.]

The red-eyed individual immediately thought of a rebuttal to the words of the owner of the arena.

Whether the owner of the arena couldn't read the characters or was pretending not to see them, it was unclear.

Ignoring the contents, they continued speaking.

"Hana, he had no intention of retiring peacefully. The administrator, who was superior to anyone else, had already prepared to steal the administrator's authority. He disappeared, and the powers of the red administrator also disappeared."

"......"

"Of course, the pursuit team that was formed with the cooperation of the black and white administrator managed to recover many parts. But the most important thing remained..."

"The most important thing?"

"Talking about that wouldn't be appropriate here..."

The owner of the arena blurred the end of their words and changed the subject.

"You asked if you could put it in the inventory, right?"

"Yes."

"With the administrator's hands, you will be able to escape the inventory easily. He is the one who upgraded the inventory system. However..."

Thud.

As the owner of the arena snapped their fingers, a black box appeared in the air.

"This is a seal made by the black administrator himself. If you put those eyes in here, there won't be any problems even if you put it in the inventory."

"Hmm."

[Safety in the inventory. You can just put it in. Delay in the generation of blood vessels. Delay in copying enemies.]

Although messages flowed out of their eyeballs when they saw the black seal, Sung JiHan didn't respond and simply floated it and put it in the seal.

[You will regret it...]

Thud!

The black seal closed on its own before the message could finish appearing.

Sung JiHan took it and looked at the item description.

[Black Seal]

Grade: EX

-A seal made directly by the black administrator.

-No existence can leave this place before the box is opened.

"The grade is EX, but there's no use for it."

It's just for keeping the red administrator's hands in it.

What a waste of grade.

Sung JiHan put it in the inventory.

The owner of the arena greeted him.

"Well then, may your wishes come true."

"Come true... Are you telling me to become a tempting bait?"

"Hehe. There's no need to perceive it so negatively. The administrator just wants to give you and humanity a chance."

"A chance?"

"Yes."

The appearance of the owner of the arena began to gradually disappear.

"Make good use of your last chance..."

After he disappeared like that.

[You have cleared the boss rush.]

[You have cleared all normal quests.]

[You have cleared the epic quest.]

With the clear of the boss rush, a message appeared stating that all mission quests had been cleared.

After defeating the special boss, all mission quests were cleared.

[Level has increased to 2.]

[Level has increased to 2.]

...

Although the level skyrocketed with the clear of the normal quests.

"Last chance, huh."

Because of the last words left by the owner of the arena, Sung JiHan didn't pay much attention to the reward message.

However.

[As a reward for clearing the epic quest, a special reward will be given.]

"This is different."

The special reward for this epic quest didn't specify any items.

But still, it's not like they won't give anything.

The system mentioned a special reward.

"Compared to obtaining the red hand, it's probably an insignificant reward..."

While thinking that, Sung JiHan checked the reward.

The background color of the special reward message was shining with a bright white light.
