The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 - Chapter 462
Library

Chapter 462

Hmm The reaction seems a bit lukewarm?

Seong Jihan blinked as he looked at the aliens chat messages.

Although he had gone all out when fighting the Martial God,

Are they not going to participate in the tournament because of that?

This is troublesome.

Where else would a human like me gain the power to stand against the Martial God? Its all thanks to this

Seong Jihan raised his right hand, then paused for a moment.

Come to think of it, didnt Ashoka absorb the Administrators Hand for him?

Then the prize is gone?

Seong Jihan glanced at his right hand.

Although Ashoka took the power at the end,

The slightly reddened skin color and traces of where the eyes had been remained.

To this extent, it looked similar to when it was sealed from the outside.

Then he could just pretend its still there.

Seong Jihan casually waved his hand.

Its because of the Administrators Hand. Doesnt this really tempt you? Its not like youll die if you lose the tournament, you just have to pay a small participation fee.

While pretending to have what he didnt, Seong Jihan worked hard to promote participation in the tournament, but

-Why participate when youll obviously lose GP

-Im a Level 9 Constellation but I withdrew my application after watching the last broadcast.

-Even Level 9s would probably get cut down in one blow

-But cant the Great Constellations participate?

-Seeing the power Seong Jihan showed, its a bit burdensome to face him in the tournament

-But now that I think about it, looks like the Dragon Lord just lost in pure skill, so why is he claiming manipulation?

-He has to cope somehow lol

The atmosphere seemed like there would be no participants in this tournament.

Its good for me to fight in the tournament though.

Seong Jihan furrowed his brow.

He needed to defeat a Great Constellation in order to complete the achievement and become a Temporary Administrator.

At this rate, if no opponents appear, the only method would be to tell the Dragon Lord to summon him.

Then he would suffer a bit after being summoned to a place where the Dragon Lord had set traps in advance.

If I use the Golden Wheel, my body will return to where it was a day ago, but

The Golden Wheel, which could revert the state and location of his body up to the previous day.

If he used this, no matter where he was summoned by the Dragon Lord, he could return, but,

There was a time limit of 1 day, so he had to eliminate the Dragon Lord within that time.

If that bastard Dragon Lord just set traps and ran away,

He might not be able to kill the opponent within that time limit.

So fighting a Great Constellation in the tournament was better if possible.

Ah, everyone. When I fought the Martial God, I poured everything into it, thats why it turned out like that. I even used the supernova, so the buff is gone now too. Ive exhausted a lot here and there, so this is the weakest Ive been.

So Seong Jihan tried to appeal his weakness somehow, but.

-Even if youre weak, youll survive anyway, right?

-Thats why you regenerated even after your body was torn apart by the Martial God.

-Did you regenerate 1741 times?

-By my count it was 1837 times. Anyway, he revived an incredible number of times.

-Isnt regeneration his greatest weapon, if you think about it like this?

-No no, that black sword was really powerful too, even the Martial God fled but in the end his veil was cut off in one blow.

-Hes good at everything lol

The atmosphere of not wanting to fight Seong Jihan was already settling in.

This is a disaster.

Is this a side effect of the BattleTube live broadcast?

But he couldnt not turn on the broadcast in order to receive the star buff.

He smacked his lips as he looked at the aliens reactions.

Itd be better not to talk about this topic.

If he kept talking, he would only emphasize his strength more.

Seong Jihan tried to change the subject.

At that moment,

[R.E.GATES donated 10 million GP.]

[Player Seong Jihan. Could you possibly tell us the truth about what Red Hand said last time? About humanity burning and becoming transcendent beings. What connection does humanity have with that?]

Robert Gates had sent a donation message just in time.

-He packed the donation message window full of text lol

-Even if hes the richest man in the world, isnt it a waste to blow 10 million GP on one message

-For real, now that I think about it, the alien constellations are really rich, they shoot out 100 million, 1 billion like nothing.

-But I was curious about that too.

-Yeah, Seong Jihan almost died if he pressed the button;

When he took out the World Tree ignition device in Tuseong,

There were some intense reactions from people after hearing what the Administrators Hand said.

This Its a bit much to tell them all the details.

Telling people, you are actually the Red Administrator.

If we all burn in the sacred fire, we can become administrators.

Saying things like that would only add to the confusion.

Seong Jihan decided to give only the minimum information.

Ah, that. The hand tempted me, saying if I press the button, I can burn all of humanity and resurrect them as the Red Administrator.

Tap. Tap.

Seong Jihan tapped the back of his right hand, gesturing as if the Administrators Hand was there,

Then spoke as if it wasnt a big deal.

How can I believe those words? In the first place, its because of the hand that I was thrown into Tuseong. Even if I became absolute like it said, I felt I wouldnt be able to maintain myself. So I just destroyed it. Well, I dont know the exact reason it wanted to sacrifice humanity

Without bothering to mention the fact that humanity itself is the Red Administrator,

He vaguely talked about the other facts.

Maybe its because you are the same species as me? If were the same race, doesnt it seem easy to absorb power?

-Uh Is that so?

-Feels like there are more hidden facts

-For real, feels like he didnt tell us everything

-Well, whats important is that Jihan-nim didnt press the button.

-If it were me, I would have pressed it in that situation lol

Quite a few viewers couldnt shake off their doubts about Seong Jihans explanation, but

-So whats the truth?

-You know more, right?

-Lets just reveal everything now that its come to this lol

-For real, it feels unsatisfying to end it like this.

Even when many asked him if he knew any more facts,

Who knows. I dont know the details either. If I did, I would have told you.

Seong Jihan shrugged his shoulders and feigned ignorance.

And,

-You guys, stop asking questions seriously

-For real, is this an interrogation today?

-Look at Seong Jihan-nims face, its so cracked

-Why do you keep probing someone who used his power like that for humanity

-Isnt his sincerity already proven just by not pressing the button?

As Seong Jihan showed no intention to answer,

His supporters actively stepped up and made people stop raising questions.

On top of his face looking more cracked and dangerous than usual,

Perhaps because it overlapped with him not pressing the switch even when he was on the verge of death,

Seong Jihans fans occupied the chat window with much stronger firepower than usual.

Well, this should be enough.

After watching the flow of the chat window like that, Seong Jihan decided to end the broadcast now.

In the first place, the purpose of turning on the broadcast was for the tournament.

Theres nothing good about talking more here.

I will end todays return broadcast here, everyone.

As Seong Jihan waved his hand and the channel closed,

Beep.

The screen Pythia was watching also went dark.

Okay, done? Now guide me.

[]

Why arent you answering? Dont tell me youre not going to keep your promise?

As the aged Gilgamesh scowled,

A voice came from Pythias Divine Eye.

[Do you know?]

Know what?

[That theres another being with a Divine Eye in this world.]

Besides you There was another one?

[Yes. Shes looking for us.]

Us?

[If I use the power of the Divine Eye to search for the World Tree, I think well get caught right away.]

Wrinkles formed on Gilgameshs forehead.

After showing her the broadcast to her hearts content, she does this after watching it all?

You Is that true? Someone with a Divine Eye happens to be searching for us at such a convenient timing?

[Sounds like a lie? Okay. Then Ill use it.]

Yeah, hurry up and tell me.

[But do you know who the being with the Divine Eye is?]

Who is it?

[Its Seong Jihans sister.]

Gilgamesh flinched at those words.

Wait. If you use the Divine Eye, well get caught right away

[Yeah, Im hiding our location right now.]

Then lets wait a bit until the search is over. But youre not thinking of anything stupid, right? Like running away.

[I only have one eye left, how can I think of anything stupid?]

He nodded at her words.

Pythia, who cant last long anyway without the life force he provides.

She probably wouldnt lie in this situation.

If they get caught, theyre both dead anyway.

Okay. Block the search for a while. Ill go get some money from the humans.

[Dont brainwash them too obviously. You might get caught.]

Its not brainwashing, its domination.

Gilgamesh said as he turned his back to the West Sea.

Swish.

And Pythia, who went into Gilgameshs coat pocket,

Thought to herself.

Actually, I already know the location.

The location of the World Tree.

That was something Pythia had already found when searching together with Seong Jihan at the time they were cooperating.

Since she still remembered the location accurately, so telling him wouldnt be difficult, but.

This bastard will try to kill me if I take him to the World Tree.

Gilgamesh is someone who would naturally betray others.

She couldnt provide information to him in a state where she only had eyes.

For now, lets suck out his life force and contact Tuseong.

Pythia, who had decided to use Gilgamesh,

Recalled Seong Jihans broadcast.

His face was clearly being consumed by the void compared to before.

Even in the midst of such an extreme situation, he didnt press the switch until the end.

That intention is respectable, but his ability is lacking

Although Seong Jihan was strong,

He wasnt strong enough to eliminate the red factor left in all of humanity.

One would need to become one with Tuseong like the Martial God to create such a miracle.

If he had the ability

Perhaps she would have helped him.

Pythia thought about it, then

Lets stop thinking useless thoughts and focus on the current matter.

She decided to stop making unrealistic assumptions.

* * *

3 days later.

[The number of participants for the 3rd Seong Jihan Constellation Tournament is 0.]

Oh no.

Seong Jihan frowned as the situation he had been worried about occurred.

No, the 1st and 2nd tournaments were so explosively popular.

How can there be zero participants in the 3rd one?

I appealed so much that Ive become weaker, but it was useless.

Sigh.

As he let out a deep sigh,

Bam!

Uncle. Why are you sighing all of a sudden?! Are you hurting somewhere?

Yoon Seah urgently opened the door to Seong Jihans room with an anxious face.

Did you install a wiretap in my room? How are you hearing all my sighs?

No I was just worried you might collapse or something.

Collapse?

Seong Jihan laughed.

Im probably the healthiest person on Earth? Im a human who revives even after dying thousands of times.

Ah, thats why! Even if you died and revived thousands of times, there could be side effects. Your face too!

Yoon Seahs eyes reddened immediately.

Shes about to cry again.

Seong Jihan scratched his head.

After returning home from the battle with the Martial God, she wailed loudly seeing him and became overprotective.

So, why did you sigh?

Ah, because there are no tournament participants.

Isnt it good if there arent any? You wont have to fight.

No. I must fight a Great Constellation. This is troublesome.

In this case, the only method is to attack the Dragon Lord after all.

Theres also the option of the Sun King summoning me. But his mere existence can keep the Martial God in check, so Ill pass on that for now and

While Seong Jihan was thinking about the next step,

[Arena Owner sends a message.]

[Mr. Seong Jihan. I have something to tell you regarding the cancellation of the tournament. Lets meet at the training room.]

A message arrived from the Arena Owner.

Its rare for him to ask to meet first.

Was the tournament cancellation that big of a deal?

Im going to the training room for a bit.

Okay, Uncle.

Seong Jihan waved to Yoon Seah and entered the Void Training Room.

Inside,

Youre here.

The Arena Owner, with a universe visible under his fedora, was already waiting.

Yeah. What should we do about the tournament?

When Seong Jihan casually replied to the Arena Owner and looked at him,

Swish

Inside Seong Jihans body, an energy began to stir.

Huh? Why is this

The FFF-grade stat he had received from Ashoka.

Azure.
