The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2-Chapter 536

Chapter 536
"What exactly has the Black Administrator been doing?"
The highest rank in BattleNet.
One of the 'Permanent Administrators', the Black Administrator.
The master of the Void, whom even the White Administrator, another Permanent Administrator, was wary and afraid of his power.
Yet he didn't react much when the White Administrator's involvement was revealed.
So Seong Jihan thought he might be slacking off, but...
"He made the White Administrator take responsibility for the previous incident and got a promise that he won't interfere with BattleNet for the next 1,000 years."
"...That's it?"
So the White Administrator was just sealed for a thousand years?
As Seong Jihan expressed disappointment, Yoon Seah's eyes widened.
"It's not like we can have a fight to the death with White and shut down BattleNet, right?"
"Would BattleNet disappear if White dies?"
"Yeah, maintaining the system is White's authority."
Black's authority, the Void, was mainly responsible for deletion.
On the contrary, White was involved in system maintenance.
"White tried to replace the Void with Hell, but the Black Administrator was quite generous, ending it with just a seal."
"Well... the messenger said he received various concessions, too. But they didn't tell me the details."
"I see? Well, I get the situation between Black and White. But..."
Swish.
Seong Jihan pointed his finger downwards.
"Why is he leaving the Green Administrator alone?"
"The Green Administrator?"
Yoon Seah tilted her head at the question.
"You mean Earth becoming a colony? He doesn't care about such trivial matters."
"Is it trivial?"
"Yeah. Humanity is just a mid-to-low-grade species. Their rise and fall isn't that important to the Black Administrator."
For the Void,
It seems they didn't care whether humanity became a colony of the World Tree Alliance or not.
'Well, that place was never one to look after other species.'
The Void's original role is the annihilation of existence.
Whether the Green Administrator extracted the Blue stat from humanity or not,
From Black's perspective, it was a completely irrelevant issue.
"Rather, what the Administrator was interested in was uncle."
"Me? I guess Black knows I've appeared."
"Yeah... I think it's because of me."
Yoon Seah scratched her cheek.
"Information about meeting you during the Arena Owner test naturally flowed... Sorry."
As long as Yoon Seah belonged to the Void, this was unavoidable.
"Well, that's fine. As a Permanent Administrator, he would've found out somehow. More importantly, what interest did he show in me?"
"He said if the seal you put on the Red Administrator breaks... he'd have no choice but to intervene."
By seal, did she mean HeavenNet trapped in Blue and Red?
"He ignores Green calling it trivial, but cares about this?"
"That was a power that could replace the Void, right? Then it's not trivial."
"I see..."
So what the Black Administrator, who even sealed White, was wary of was HeavenNet.
As Seong Jihan frowned, Yoon Seah hastily added,
"Ah. Of course, Black will only intervene if the seal completely breaks and Hell covers the world."
"Unless it's fully opened, is this also trivial to him?"
"Probably so..."
"Hmm."
Seong Jihan listened to Yoon Seah and organized the situation.
First, the White Administrator, who had been somewhat concerning, was sealed by Black.
That was good so far.
But it wasn't very welcome news that he didn't feel the need to intervene with the Green Administrator, and instead showed interest in Seong Jihan's Blue and Red.
'Of course, there was the premise that he'd only intervene if Blue and Red was fully opened, but...'
Why focus on this side when he let Green get away with all sorts of things?
As Seong Jihan was thinking that Black wasn't very helpful,
"But..."
Yoon Seah carefully opened her mouth.
"The Black Administrator said he'd handle the situation if you hand over the seal."
"Hand over the seal? You mean Blue and Red?"
"Yeah. He said it's absolutely not coercion, just a suggestion."
HeavenNet sealed in Blue and Red.
If he handed over this thing that the Black Administrator was most worried about, he'd deal with Green instead.
'I can't do that.'

He couldn't fully trust Black to actually resolve the situation if he handed it over,
And even if he did, Seong Jihan had no intention whatsoever of handing over Blue and Red.
He had to punish the Green Administrator with his own hands.
Moreover,
'The Green Administrator is collecting Blue for me, I need to retrieve that.'
This time, he should raise Blue's grade from SS to the next level.
Having reached this conclusion, Seong Jihan said,
"No thanks. If I'm going to eliminate them, I'll do it with my own hands. I don't want to borrow someone else's."
"I thought you'd say that. Alright."
Yoon Seah nodded as if she knew Seong Jihan would answer like that.
With the topic of the Black Administrator settled for now,
Seong Jihan changed the subject.
"So, now that you've passed the test, are you fully the Arena Owner?"
"Ah, about that."
Yoon Seah smiled at the question.
Then,
"Look at this!"
She suddenly started unbuttoning her top.
'Did she go weird after taking the test?'
As Seong Jihan was about to say something he,r uncle,
"...Huh?"
His eyes widened.
There, instead of skin,
The form of the universe appeared.
* * *
"Hehe, surprised?"
"This is... Cosmos, was it?"
"That's right."
The Arena Owner with a universe-shaped face.
The Void's messenger had called this the Cosmos species.
He wondered if Yoon Seah's face would change like that when she became the Arena Owner, but
"Your face is still the same?"
"Yeah, only my upper body has changed for now. It'll take about 300 years for everything to change."
"300 years?"
Speaking of such a long time so casually.
It really felt like she had transcended the human species now.
'My goodness. I didn't expect her to change this much already...'
Back when Yoon Seah received the Arena Owner's hat and became part of the Void,
Seong Jihan had planned to return her to normal after eliminating Martial God and the Red Administrator.
He wanted Yoon Seah to just live well as a human.
But sealing the Hell took longer than expected,
And during that time, his niece had settled into the Void, and now she had even evolved into a different species.
"Are you okay with this?"
Seong Jihan asked this looking at her body, but,
"Huh? Why? I'm so happy becoming Cosmos."
Yoon Seah just blinked at the question.
"If anything, I'm disappointed it'll take 300 years for complete evolution."
"You don't have any lingering attachment to being human?"
"Attachment? I had a little before... but it all disappeared when they voted for uncle's record erasure."
Yoon Seah chuckled.
"Actually, thinking rationally, I can understand that vote back then. We were about to die from being demoted right then... and they said they would spare us if we just forgot about uncle. Forgetting one person is obviously a more rational choice than dying."
"..."
"But just... even if it was the World Tree Alliance's plan, I was disgusted at being pushed into that situation itself. I wanted to be proudly independent rather than being easily swayed by external circumstances."
The vote on Seong Jihan's record erasure.
She must have felt considerable powerlessness and skepticism there,
As she was now thinking even more positively about changing species than before.

"But even if it's independence, you're still part of the Void, right?"
"Well, that's true... but unless you're an Administrator like uncle, everyone has to belong somewhere. If I'm going to belong somewhere anyway, isn't it better to stick with the strong ones?"
'If you were going to belong somewhere, you might as well be with the strong ones, huh?'
The Void and White were certainly more reliable than humanity.
"Alright. If that's how you feel."
"Oh, uncle, are you supporting my Cosmos transformation?"
"Your resolve seems firm, so I won't oppose it."
The Cosmos transformation had already progressed to a point where it couldn't be reversed, even if he opposed it now.
Seong Jihan didn't want to blindly oppose without having an alternative.
Instead,
'When Blue reaches SSS-rank, I should be able to implement the Golden Wheel... Then I can return her to her original form.'
The power Ashoka showed him was time reversal.
If he advanced the Blue stat one more level from its current state, he should be able to use it more efficiently than now.
Then, he would ask her intention again at that time.
As Seong Jihan was thinking this,
Yoon Seah said with sparkling eyes,
"As expected of uncle! Thank you. Then, since you're supporting me, could you help persuade mom later too? She tried to stop me from changing species, saying who would I marry if I become Cosmos."
"Handle that yourself."
"Aw... be more generous."
"I'm just not opposing, not supporting."
"Ah, so you're neutral then."
Yoon Seah was disappointed by Seong Jihan's answer, but,
"Okay... I'll have to talk to her myself. Alright..."
She started buttoning up her top again.
"Hm? Why are you buttoning up?"
"Hehe. It doesn't have to be today, right?"
She then grabbed Seong Jihan's hand.
"We couldn't have a welcome back party because of the test. Let's have it today!"
That party again.
She really wanted to have it, huh.
Seong Jihan smiled and nodded.
"Alright. Let's go."
Hiss...
As Seong Jihan left Kim Jihun's body and emerged in his original form,
Yoon Seah blinked.
"Why? Are you leaving that behind?"
"There's no need to bring the shell, right?"
"Um... but I'm curious about the male half-elf. Can't we bring him?"
Seong Jihan, who had come out of Kim Jihun's shell, looked at it.
He didn't understand why she was curious about this clumsy imitation,
But bringing it along wasn't difficult.
'I can easily manipulate the World Tree Alliance's tracking signal.'
Kim Jihun's body had an automatic location tracking function after being designated as a special management target by the World Tree Alliance.
But Seong Jihan could easily distort this.
"Okay."
Beep. Beep.
As Seong Jihan tapped Kim Jihun's body a few times, the location information changed.
He picked up that body and said,
"Let's go."
They went up to the upper floor.
* * *
The penthouse of Sword Palace.
"Wow, this is really fascinating."
Yoon Seah touched Kim Jihun's body, which was lying like a doll, with curiosity.
"It's weird how it clumsily resembles uncle?"
"Seah, this is the version that resembles him the most."
"Really? What about other male half-elves?"
"They're even weirder."
Seong Jiah shook her head while looking at Kim Jihun's body.
"Someone hit on me with that face, it was so creepy..."
"What? Someone hit on mom? Didn't they know your age?"
"That person, or rather that half-elf, was in his 40s despite looking like that."
"Ah, I guess they're not all young."
Yoon Seah understood the story of a 40-year-old man in Seong Jihan's body hitting on her mother.
Seeing this, Seong Jiah frowned as if displeased.
"Hey. Don't be so understanding. Young ones hit on mom a lot too, you know?"
"Really? But why are you single, mom?"
"How could I date when my brother went missing and my daughter left home to find her uncle?"
"Everyone's back now, so it's okay to date, right?"
"Sigh... Alright. If mom finds a man she likes, she'll date. You should date too."
"Ah. Okay."
Yoon Seah looked away at her mother's words, perhaps remembering that she had become Cosmos.
"Hey. You're not in a position to be so relaxed. Do you know how old you are now?"
As Seong Jiah was about to nag more after seeing this,
Ding. Ding ding. Ding.
The doorbell rang from the entrance.
"Hm? Looks like someone's here."
"Ah, I called your dad. I asked him to come when you arrived."
"Okay okay. I'll go get it."
As Yoon Seah went out with a bright face,
Seong Jihan said to Seong Jiah,
"Sis. Then I'll hide in my room for a while."
"Ah... okay. Sorry. I'll send him away soon."
"No, it's a father-daughter reunion after a long time. You should spend time together."
With that, Seong Jihan took Kim Jihun's body and went into the room.
[Seah...!]
At first, the atmosphere was warm as Yoon Sejin tearfully greeted his returned daughter, so happy to see her.
[...But was there a guest at home?]
[Huh? Who would come here?]
[No, on the floor.]
The father's voice, which had been welcoming his daughter,
[...There's light blue hair fallen here.]
Began to sink gradually.
