The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2

Chapter 640:

"...Let's end it here for today."

Seong Jihan, who had promised to distribute stat points to the player who uploaded the most 'Tower'-related videos each week,

Was consistently continuing this work even after returning from Ark.

-Wow... He generously distributed stat points again today...

-Is it okay to give out abilities like this?

-I'm anxious because I don't know when this event will end, I really need to win at least once ㅡㅡ;

-Honestly, those who got points last time should stop participating.

-I don't want to? Why give up a chance to raise stats for free?

-If you're jealous, try winning yourself. lol

As viewers were showing various reactions to the concluded Tower event, Seong Jihan ended the broadcast and checked his current status while returning home.

'White Light is now coming in at over 30 per day.'

Compared to before going to Ark, the daily acquisition of White Light had tripled.

It seemed that absorbing many artificial organs in Ark had an effect.

'This time, with the White Administrator escaping well, I should raise my abilities as much as possible before entering Ark.'

Now that he had both the White and Black Administrators under his control, Server 4212 was practically under Seong Jihan's control.

Urd's avatar was still a variable, but she was pursuing the White Administrator to retrieve the server management device.

So he should be able to buy some time.

'White Light is at 1860... I can enhance my powers in two days.'

White Light was rising steadily day by day.

In contrast, the Blue stat's leveling speed had slowed down, its growth rate significantly reduced.

If the growth rates of these two abilities continue to differ so clearly, there might come a day when Blue can't block the light anymore.

As Seong Jihan was checking his status,

Beep. Beep.

The house door opened.

Lee Hayeon, holding a stack of documents, bowed towards Seong Jihan and then startled.

"Oh... Boss, your eyes are shining even more than last week...?"

"Really?"

Swish.

At Hayeon's words, Seong Jihan glanced at the mirror.

The light had become more intense, probably because White Light had grown by over 400 since returning from Ark.

Swish...

As Seong Jihan drew up the energy of the Blue stat, the light was contained within it.

"Can you see it now?"

"No. But you don't have to hide it... The glowing eyes look cool too."

"This looks cool?"

What an unusual taste.

Seong Jihan chuckled and looked at the stack of documents Hayeon was holding.

"By the way, what are those documents? Don't tell me they need approval?"

"Yes, yes. There are some collaboration requests from foreign guilds."

Collaboration with foreign guilds.

For Seong Jihan, who was currently going back and forth between Ark and Server 4212 looking for a breakthrough, there was no room to pay attention to this.

"Hmm... Just use the stamp I gave you last time for such proposals."

"...Can I really use that?"

"Use it freely anywhere. Ah, I'll even hand over the Daegi guild owner position to you."

Seong Jihan tried to take this opportunity to hand over the guild owner position entirely, but.

"Ah, no. What meaning would our guild have without you, Boss?"

Hayeon strongly waved her hands, persistently declining the owner position.

'I was hoping to hand it over completely this time, what a shame.'

Well, if Seong Jihan stepped down from the Daegi guild owner position, the guild's value would shrink immediately.

Still, not accepting even when offered for free, she was a tough opponent.

"Then from now on, just use the stamp I left for all proposals that need my approval. You don't need to come report to me."

"Ah, yes... Then it'll be hard to see your face from now on, Boss."

"My face? Come like this if you want to see me."

"Even without business?"

Seong Jihan chuckled at Hayeon's question.

"When did I ever care about having business?"

"I tried to have some..."

"Well, once this matter is resolved, I'll probably become almost unemployed. Come visit a lot then."

"U-unemployed? You, Boss?"

"Yes."

Once the Ark matter was resolved, nothing would be left to handle in this server.

By then, he should be able to relax comfortably while having the White and Black Administrators under his command.

"If I become unemployed, I might bother you a lot."

"I can't imagine that at all..."

As Hayeon blinked at those words,

Zing...

A purple message window appeared before Seong Jihan's eyes.

[Blue Administrator, Urd has headed to Earth.]

"Urd?"

[Yes. She said she's going to check on something she's raising on Earth for a change of mood.]

"Something she's raising..."

Seong Jihan's eyes darkened.

'So that's how she thinks of me.'

A special case with the Blue stat.

A player to be well-nurtured and then devoured later.

In Urd's perception, Seong Jihan seemed to have about that much presence.

'But if she's headed to Earth... Could she be coming to Sword Palace?'

Previously, she at least pretended to be cautious and didn't directly invade here.

But now, thinking she still has control over the Void, giving orders to the Black Administrator, there was a possibility she might directly invade here.

However,

[Urd has entered the 'Tower'. It seems she doesn't intend to come here directly.]

The Red Administrator informed that her destination was the Tower.

'She entered the Tower? Unexpected.'

[It seems she intends to look around the newly added game type. And if she defeats Dongbang Sak on the top floor, she could challenge the Tower of Martial Gods. Isn't that why she's going there?]

He wondered why she was following procedures for once.

So it was to examine the Tower.

Anyway,

'This is good for me.'

It was more convenient to face her in the Tower of Martial Gods than in Sword Palace.

Seong Jihan stood up and opened a portal.

"I guess I need to go now."

"Yes, Boss. Don't worry about me and go."

With that, he moved to the top floor of the Tower where Dongbang Sak was staying.

Dongbang Sak, who had been half out of it since seeing the Infinite Sword in Ark,

"Urd... is coming here?"

"Yes."

When he heard that Urd was coming up from the lower floors of the Tower, light returned to his dazed eyes.

"Her... Shouldn't I kill her?"

"If you kill her, this server will end too. The main body in Ark will wake up and judge this server as an 'error'."

"The main body in Ark..."

At those words, Dongbang Sak slowly stroked his beard.

"Right. I must endure. I must endure. I can't miss the real one by taking revenge on a mere avatar..."

Certainly, after facing the Infinite Sword Sword, more memories of the previous server seemed to have returned.

He harbored even stronger emotions towards Urd than before.

More precisely, a desire for revenge.

"Then... I shouldn't use the Infinite Sword sword. I'll face her with just the Taiji Sword."

"Yes. Please do."

"But then, I won't be able to hinder Urd for long. If she enters the Void state, it won't be easy to defend."

It seemed facing Urd in her Void state without the Infinite Sword Sword was indeed difficult.

Seong Jihan nodded.

"I understand. I'll go back and prepare, so please buy as much time as possible."

"I'll do that."

Just buy time without using the Infinite Sword Sword.

As Dongbang Sak accepted that request,

'Now I should go to the Tower of Martial Gods too.'

Seong Jihan left the Tower and returned to the top floor of the Tower of Martial Gods.

* * *

On the top floor of the Tower of Martial Gods.

There, the server management device that Urd had been so desperately searching for was simply placed on the floor.

'She'd go crazy if she saw this.'

Seong Jihan picked up the server management device and brought it to his chest.

Then,

The server management device merged with him as if it had always been a part of his body.

'I'll have to block this with Blue too.'

Swish...

Seong Jihan's body was completely enveloped as the Blue energy spread thickly.

With his glowing body and now the server management device all covered,

He pondered the next step.

'The question is how far I should engage with Urd.'

Urd, who confidently invaded thinking she was nurturing Seong Jihan.

She probably thought she was the true owner of this server, with only the server management device not in her possession.

Of course,

'All the authority has already passed to me.'

After obtaining the server management device, Seong Jihan had also gained control over the Void.

Now, if he wanted to, he had the power to neutralize even Urd in her Void state instantly.

If he felt like it, he could end it right here.

Or he could completely neutralize her and confine her in the Tower of Martial Gods.

'But if she happens to die, this server would collapse...'

What a troublesome opponent.

He had already prepared all the methods to subdue her.

Yet he had to worry about the opponent possibly killing herself.

'Then should I first observe what she intends to do when she meets me?'

Seong Jihan thought back to when she had invaded before.

After breaking through the top floor of the Tower of Martial Gods at incredible speed, when she failed to summon the light clock,

-...Blue Administrator. What have you been doing all this time instead of growing?!

She had scolded Seong Jihan for not growing.

The Tower of Martial Gods was adjusted based on the weaker party,

So at that time, the light clock couldn't be completed because Seong Jihan's stats were so weak.

But,

'Things are different now.'

The White Light stat that had grown rapidly after going to Ark twice.

The light clock would definitely be summoned as long as he had this ability.

Then,

'She'll probably try to imprison me in the prison of time and extract my abilities, like the Isolates in Ark.'

How far should he respond to Urd's intentions?

Seong Jihan considered various scenarios, thinking about how to end this safely without killing her.

After pondering for a long time,

[White Light increases by 30.]

Seeing the message that his White Light stat had grown,

His eyes widened.

'...What? When did a day pass?'

She used to break through the Tower of Martial Gods in an instant before.

What was she doing?

"Where is Urd now?"

When Seong Jihan summoned Blue and Red and asked the Red Administrator,

[She hasn't even entered the Tower of Martial Gods yet.]

"Then, don't tell me she's still in the Tower? Even now?"

[Yes. Didn't you ask Dongbang Sak to buy as much time as possible earlier?]

As he answered,

Zing...

He displayed a screen.

There,

[...You're quite persistent in holding out.]

Urd, tainted by the Void was looking down at the battered Dongbang Sak with an irritated expression.
