The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 348

-Oh, the VIP card is activated right away, lol.

-I'll watch the first game comfortably, hehe.

-Now, if it triggers two more times with a 50% chance, it should be good.

-Even if it happens just once, we just need to win one out of the remaining three games.

-Is it possible to win without Sung JiHan?

With the activation of the VIP card, the viewers were able to watch the game with a much more relaxed mindset.

They already considered the victory in the first game as a given fact.

=The first game begins!

-This game is a defense game. It's called "Ship Defense Battle".

-50 people gather on a ship on the sea, and the mission is to protect the ship.

-This map has been used in inter-country matches several times. The key here is to prevent the marine monsters...

The first game with the "Ship Defense Battle" map.

The commentators were explaining how to defend for viewers who were not familiar with this map by showing the screen of an inter-country match.

"Ship defense... We don't really need to stop the monsters, because we lose if the ship gets destroyed, right?"

"That's... right?"

"I'll go and see."

Sung JiHan waved his hand to Yoon SeA and jumped into the sky.

There's no need to waste time stopping the monsters.

Swoosh.

Sung JiHan surveyed the surroundings from above the sky.

"Is it over there?"

Whoosh!

He spotted the mekan race's warship and took out his phoenix sword.

Honwon Shingong (Mixed Origin Divine Technique)

Cheonroeyongyeom (Heavenly Thunder Dragon Flame)

Cheonryongnaehwa (Heavenly Dragon Thunder Fire)

A crack appeared in the sky, and a massive stream of fire poured down.

The robots on the warship all looked up at once.

[Defense probability 0%. Unstoppable attack.]

[Forfeit the first game.]

He lowered both of his hands.

Whoosh!

The mekan warship immediately caught fire.

Not long after, a system message appeared.

[Enemy warship is sinking.]

[The first game is ending.]

[Human representative team wins.]

The game ended in an instant.

The commentators who were explaining the ship defense battle on a separate screen burst into laughter.

"Ha, hahaha. The monsters haven't even appeared yet..."

"The first game ended like this!"

"As expected of Sung JiHan. Once he's in the game, it becomes too easy!"

The first game ended in a flash without any resistance from the opponent.

-The way to win in a defense map is simply to destroy the opponent's base.

-For real, why bother stopping them, lol. Just go and destroy it.

-What? It's already over? I was reheating the chicken I had yesterday...

-Don't go anywhere when Sung JiHan is playing. It's a common occurrence for the game to end in an instant, lol.

-Ah, I wanted to see an intense battle. It's disappointing...

-If you're disappointed, you should be thankful for the easy win, lol.

-For real, this game is about the fate of humanity. Going easy is the best option.

Some people were disappointed that it ended too quickly.

Most viewers were delighted by Sung JiHan's victory and hoped that the next games would be just as easy.

Meanwhile...

"Now my level isn't increasing."

After annihilating Mecan in the first game, Sung JiHan stared at the system window that no longer displayed any messages.

Now that his level had reached 430, defeating the opponent in the first game wasn't enough to increase his level.

"Well, it's the first time the Mecan race has entered the Bronze League. The players' levels probably aren't high."

It seems difficult to expect a big reward in the Space League matches now.

Thinking that Sung JiHan wouldn't have much to do today, he felt disappointed.

In the director's office of the Space League, the two directors were summoned again.

With a relaxed expression after winning the first game, Director Davis looked at the robot and said, "We lost to our second place."

"We've already heard from the World Tree Union. They say there's a 50% chance that the number one human will avoid a ban."

"Those guys, they've said enough nonsense. Is there anything else they said?"

"They said that, except for the number one, the human race is very weak."

"...That's not true."

-Davis, you're slow to respond, lol.

-Wow, those World Tree Elves keep bothering us and revealing all the weaknesses to other races, ugh.

-Even so, aren't they ignoring humanity too much? They think we can't win just because Sung JiHan got banned?

-Yeah, we can't win...

-Don't you remember the Join race??

The shock of losing to the last place was so great that the viewers trusted Sung JiHan but didn't believe in the skill of the human representative team.

So they just hoped that Sung JiHan would survive the bans in the next games and end it.

"'Sung JiHan' player will be banned."

Luck didn't follow continuously.

-Oh... We lost.

-Are we going to be crushed by the robots in the second game?

-The Mecan guys didn't resist in the first game, so their power isn't coming through.

-Even if they resisted, they would have been wiped out by the Dragon's Breath... It's the same even if you look at it.

Thanks to Sung JiHan finishing the first game in an instant, Mecan's true power didn't show.

People were anxious about what kind of power those steel robots would show.

Meanwhile, in the waiting room of the human representative team.

"Brother-in-law, please take care of the second game."

"Alright. Ah... but I have a question. Your brother-in-law's Seat of the Holy Sponsorship, sometimes it suddenly shows its effect and amplifies his power..."

"Really? When did that happen?"

"Well, um... I think it mainly happened when your brother-in-law was playing games."

After hearing Yoon Se-jin's words, Sung JiHan realized when his power had been amplified.

"It's when I activated the Seat of the Holy."

Instead of decreasing his limit level, he could activate the power as the Seat of the Holy.

Every time Sung JiHan faced a formidable opponent and activated the Seat of the Holy, it seemed that Yoon Se-jin and other sponsored players also saw the effect.

"I understand what you're saying. I can control it to some extent, but my growth limit decreases. I'll use it carefully."

"What? The growth limit decreases?"

"Yes."

"Well, then never use it. You'll definitely win without your brother-in-law's Seat of the Holy. No... even if you're in a losing situation, don't use it. The league ranking might drop a bit."

Although the growth limit decreased, Yoon Se-jin strongly advised Sung JiHan not to use it.

"Understood."

"And don't tell anyone about this... If they find out, the coach or coaching staff might ask you to use it at a crucial moment. If you do it once, they'll ask you to do it again and again."

Sung JiHan nodded.

Although the Space League matches were important to humanity, his own limit level was more important.

Even if he maintained his ranking, humanity would eventually be destroyed.

At the moment, Sung JiHan had to grow well and confront the Abyss Master or the Eastern Assassin.

But there was no need to sacrifice the future potential for the sake of the league.

"Alright, I will win and come back. Your Holiness."

With a slight smile, Yoon Se-jin saluted Sung JiHan and entered the arena for the second match.

However...

"Ah..."

"What are these robots doing? They're using lightsabers!"

"The robot that fought against the Sword King... its arms keep getting longer!"

"Even though its legs and arms were cut off, a magic circle is being drawn on Mechan's chest."

"The bodies of the enemy player robots are gathering and forming a new robot...!"

The Mechan race, which humanity was facing for the first time, proved to be quite challenging to deal with.

Even if they were destroyed and rendered immobile, the robot debris would come together to create a new robot.

At first, the robot that fought against the Sword King seemed to be falling behind.

"Data collection complete. Movement, detected."

At some point, it began to overpower him with swordsmanship.

Initially, they fought on equal terms, but gradually, the representative team of humanity started to fall behind.

In the end...

"The second match is over."

"The representative team of humanity has been defeated."

The second game ended with a victory for the Mechan race.

***

In the director's office of the Space League...

"The information from the World Tree Union is accurate."

The robot coach looked at Coach Davis, who came in with a frustrated expression, and said.

"I expected this since Sung JiHan was banned..."

"But we still have to win at least one game, right?"

"Why are the robots fighting with lightsabers instead of using guns? Are energy weapons not allowed?"

"With that level of technology, wouldn't it be over if they used state-of-the-art weapons? Haha."

"Let's check if there are any restrictions on the BattleNet."

"It's fortunate for humanity, I suppose."

After watching the representative team's defeat against the Mechan race, the viewers were no longer greatly disappointed.

They fought well in the beginning, but as time went on, they were completely overwhelmed by the Mechan in terms of endurance.

Those who were well-versed in the BattleNet could roughly predict the outcome.

"In the end, Sung JiHan has to survive."

"How long do we have to rely on Sung JiHan? I feel sorry for him."

"Humanity still lacks the ability to stand on its own. Honestly, the race is at the lowest level."

"Haha, seriously, let's quickly raise Sung JiHan's race ranking."

"Yeah, and make him live for 200 years without aging. Protect the human race and raise his ranking... These guys are working him to death."

"Haha, if I were him, I would have escaped to another planet."

"Yeah."

The viewers hoped that Sung JiHan would survive and continue to play, asking for his return.

Meanwhile, Yoon Se-jin, who had finished the game, bowed his head in front of Sung JiHan, seemingly disappointed.

"...I'm sorry, brother-in-law."

"What is there to be sorry about? We could lose."

"To lose... it's embarrassing to always feel like we're losing."

"When can the representative team win even without you, Uncle?"

"Well..."

That's a difficult question.

Sung JiHan let out a bitter smile.

"In my previous life, after the Great Chief was executed by the elves and our power weakened, we achieved our first victory against the weakened Orcs."

The World Tree Elves, who saved the ban and select cards to execute the players of the opposing race.

Due to their weakened power, the Orcs were able to somewhat contend with humanity.

Although they engaged in fierce battles with some other races, they were ultimately the weakest.

"It's amazing that a super strong player like Sung JiHan was born in such a weak race."

Sung JiHan thought this way as he looked at the results of the three banned matches.

It would be great if the VIP could activate again.

["Player Sung JiHan has been banned."]

The 50% probability was unexpectedly not bad.

"Ah..."

"Oh no..."

The players sighed as they watched the banned situation in the coach's room.

Those who had experienced falling behind in power while fighting against Meikan in the second match were discouraged by the ban on Sung JiHan.

"Oh no... It looks like the ban will be lifted in the fourth and fifth matches."

Coach Davis said with a forced smile.

[That's an independent variable.]

"Well..."

[Regardless of the previous probability, the 50% probability will also apply in the fourth match.]

"Well, I know that too."

[You just said that a little while ago without knowing.]

"...Annoying machine. It's making a fuss about nothing."

When Davis frowned, Coach Meikan spoke.

[Rather than relying on such probabilities, there is a more certain way.]

"...What are you trying to say?"

[Rank 1 of humanity. Give us his blood and flesh. Then we will lose this series. Furthermore, in this Bronze League, we will always lose to humanity.]

"What..."

Davis widened his eyes at those words.

Asking for Sung JiHan's blood and flesh.

What kind of proposal are these robot guys suddenly making?

[In the fourth match, we will release the ban on rank 1. Please consider it positively.]

"We haven't agreed to that yet..."

[The blood and flesh of rank 1, which can be reproduced as much as you want. It's an exchange for humanity's victory. Can I explain to you how important unconditional victory is to a weak race like humanity?]

Ziiing.

While saying that, Coach Meikan opened several hologram windows as if waiting.

[According to the data from the second match, the power of humanity players, excluding rank 1, is the lowest in the league.]

Ziiing.

Based on the data from the second match, various analysis data were clearly displayed.

[...This is the 'essence of humanity' analyzed by our Meikan.]

Coach Davis listened to a lecture on how weak the representative team of humanity is without rank 1 for about 10 minutes.

-These robot guys analyze better than humanity's Battle.net analysts...

-Those machine guys with data...

-If we want to maintain our league ranking in the top tier, can we afford to miss this opportunity...

-But why do they want blood and flesh?

-Aren't they trying to create a clone of Sung JiHan? -_-

-No way. Just lose!

Based on the data, the representative team of humanity clearly had no answer.

However, it was too suspicious to give Sung JiHan's blood and flesh.

In the end, Coach Davis answered.

"...I refuse."

[Calm down and think until the next match.]

Beep.

Coach Meikan turned off the hologram window and calmly said.

[I look forward to your wise judgment.]
