The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2-Chapter 586

Chapter 586
4 days later.
-Wow, he really went around the whole world. lol
-What's with the half-elf who fled to Antarctica seriously?? lolol
-I have to admire their dedication...
Seong Jihan's operation to capture half-elves ended after circling Antarctica and returning to Seoul.
"Still, it ended with less than 500 people."
Perhaps because he showed no mercy in capturing half-elves in Sudan at first,
Most of the half-elves who were trying to go into hiding ended up voluntarily coming to the gathering places.
However, for those who couldn't reach the gathering places before Seong Jihan's visit because their country was too large or their hiding place too remote,
-You really were trying to come. I'll let it slide this time.
-Trying to flee even further... Go to the inventory.
Seong Jihan would either forgive them once after assessing their true intentions, or send them to his inventory.
Of course, most half-elves tried to argue in front of Seong Jihan that they were on their way to the gathering place,
But they couldn't deceive the eyes of an Administrator.
-I don't understand... Did they think they could escape from an Administrator? Those humans?
-From what I gather in human chats, the Administrator resurrected them after elves massacred them, right? So why aren't they listening to that Administrator?
-These guys seem beyond rehabilitation, why don't you just come over here? Our scales are blue too, Blue Administrator.
-But why are you keeping those burdens in your inventory? Why not just execute them right away...
-This isn't an issue that can be solved by executing just one individual. Their associates must have been complicit too, so the whole lot needs to be eradicated. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
The alien races showed even more extreme reactions than humans after watching Seong Jihan's broadcast.
From their common sense perspective, they couldn't understand what these people were thinking to be so reckless towards an Administrator.
"Well. 500 people is less than expected. Out of over 600,000 half-elves, there are only this many defectors."
Seong Jihan lightly dismissed the reactions of the alien races.
"Then I'll wrap up this BattleTube here. I'll let you know later about the disposition of those sentenced to life imprisonment."
He ended the 4-day long BattleTube broadcast.
'I gained a lot through this world tour.'
After ending the broadcast, he tallied up what he had gained from returning the half-elves to humans.
'The total Blue gained from the half-elves is 261.'
20,000 male half-elves and about 600,000 female half-elves.
He was able to recover 200 Blue stat from the males and 61 from the females.
Additionally,
'My level also went up by 2.'
Although leveling up had become slower since becoming an Administrator, he had still gained 2 levels in the process of turning hundreds of thousands of half-elves back into humans.
This brought his residual points from 9 to 11.
'My current Blue stat is 454... I should invest everything here.'
Seong Jihan put all his remaining points into the Blue stat.
With that, Blue rose to 465.
This was almost at the level he had before using the Golden Wheel.
Once it reached 500, he would be completely back to that level.
'And while running BattleTube, White Light increased by 5 in total.'
At first he had worried about how to raise White Light since he couldn't invest remaining points,
But with Urd raising it and it automatically increasing while running BattleTube, the White Light stat had now reached 20.
'Hmm. I've been able to easily grow my abilities so far, but the problem is what comes next.'
Until now, he had easily grown his abilities back to their previous levels,
But after returning all the half-elves to humans and investing all the residual points from leveling up into Blue,
He had now run out of means to grow further from here.
'I can't run BattleNet games as an Administrator, and there's no opponent to attack like the World Tree Alliance either.'
The World Tree Alliance elves that he used to attack were too numerous.
They might have made for good experience now, but they had already all been absorbed into Urd's body.
And he couldn't just go invading completely unrelated alien races for the sake of leveling up either.
Among Seong Jihan's current abilities, White Light was the only one that could grow easily.
'Hmm. I can't remain stagnant like this...'
Urd may be quiet now, but when she started moving in earnest, he wouldn't be able to deal with her with just his current abilities.
The Light Clock that bended the trajectory of all attacks.
He couldn't be satisfied with his current state, if only to create a means to break through that.
'The problem with being Administrator-class is there's no one to fight. How did you level up?'
When Seong Jihan asked the Red Administrator, he answered promptly.
[I didn't level up.]
'You didn't?'
[That's right. You're the strange one for trying to level up. Once you become an Administrator, everyone focuses on Administrator privileges, not levels.]
'Hmm... Administrator privileges, huh.'
[Yes. Why don't you try using Administrator privileges to raise your abilities?]
'To raise Blue using privileges, I'd have to register the stat information, but I'm reluctant to do that...'
Administrator privileges that could only be used here if he updated the Blue information.
However, Seong Jihan instinctively sensed that if he voluntarily uploaded the Blue information here, everything would be over.
'Somehow I need to raise Blue without registering it.'
Thinking this, Seong Jihan opened Administrator mode and looked through various options.
Among them, when he opened the [Seong Jihan] entry, he realized that even the level could be edited through privileges here.
However,
'I can level up using Administrator privileges, but... it takes 1 million authority to raise it by 1.'
[1 million? That's an absurd number. Don't do it.]
The Administrator privilege cost for leveling up was so high that it was practically useless.
At this rate, he couldn't raise his abilities with privileges, nor did he have any other means to level up.
'I'm completely stuck between a rock and a hard place.'
Seong Jihan furrowed his brow.
If humanity entered the Gold League in this state, it would be even more hopeless.
'What should I do...'
As he was pondering the current situation,
Ziiing...
[Are you finished with your work?]
A white screen appeared before his eyes.
* * *
A pure white screen.
The one who brought this up must be the White Administrator.
"White Administrator. What business do you have?"
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.
[Do we need to have business to talk?]
"That's exactly the kind of relationship we have."
What was with this guy suddenly acting friendly?
As Seong Jihan looked at him strangely,
[Haha... You're still wary of me. Good. I'll get to the point.]
The White Administrator quickly got to the main topic.
"What is it?"
[I'd like you to share information about what happened at the Administrator meeting.]
Information sharing, huh.
Seong Jihan nodded readily.
The White Administrator wasn't someone he could completely trust either, but for now, they were allies.
It should be fine to tell him that much.
"...And that's how it ended."
After Seong Jihan summarized what happened at the Administrator meeting,
[Translator - Asura]
[Proofreader - Gun]
[So Urd allowed you to gain White Light...]
"Yes."
[And you weren't affected at all... Hmm. By the way, what's your current White Light value?]
The White Administrator suddenly asked about Seong Jihan's stat value.
"That's not related to the meeting content."
[You're being difficult. Fine. If you tell me your White Light value, I'll answer something you're curious about too.]
Was he offering a question in exchange?
Then it was not a bad deal.
Seong Jihan nodded and opened his mouth.
"It's 20."
[20? And yet you're so wary of me... Ah. Could it be the effect of Blue?]
"You sound similar to Urd. She also said if I had been dyed by light, I would have respected her."
[She said respect...?]
"Yeah. Something about it being the law of light for the weak to follow the strong, like children following their parents."
[Hmm... That monster may have more White Light than I expected.]
The White Administrator replied in a serious tone to Seong Jihan's words.
"Why do you say that?"
[It's not just feeling closeness. For it to reach the level of respect... the difference in White Light values must be at least 1,000 or more.]
"So since Urd said I would respect her, does that mean she has over a thousand White Light?"
[Yes... I don't understand where she drew such power from.]
"Then would you also respect Urd if you met her?"
[Ha. Of course not. I am the White Administrator, the master of light. My White Light value surpasses hers.]
The White Administrator spoke as if it was absurd to suggest otherwise.
Judging by that attitude, it did seem like his White Light would overwhelm Urd's.
But if that was the case,
"Then if I had been dyed by light, I would have respected you, right?"
[...Hmm. I suppose that's how it would work.]
"You sneaky bastard, you planted a bomb there, didn't you?"
[But you didn't end up being dyed by light, did you? And even if you had become one of us, you would have only felt closeness through a screen like this.]
"Ah... I was wondering why you were acting so friendly earlier. You were checking, weren't you?"
[It's not good to be so suspicious of every little thing.]
Seong Jihan's expression hardened.
So there was an ulterior motive behind being so generous with giving abilities.
[Yes. Let's stop discussing topics that could strain relations between allies... Alright. Use your question right. I'll answer sincerely what I can.]
The White Administrator quickly tried to change the subject.
Seong Jihan could clearly see through his intentions, but went along with it for now.
There was no point in pressing further here anyway.
He decided to use this opportunity to properly extract information from him.
"This White Light, how can I actually use it?"
[Your stat is 20 and you still... Haven't you figured it out yet?]
"I have no idea at all."
[Hmm. Strange. Is it because you weren't dyed by light...? I see. So that's why you can't use the ability.]
In response to Seong Jihan's question, the White Administrator seemed to reach his own understanding.
[Regarding White Light, you must realize it yourself. As you gain abilities through BattleTube, there will come a time when you get a sense for it, so always be conscious of light.]
He substituted an answer telling Seong Jihan to figure it out himself.
"...Is that an answer? That's not sincere at all."
[I can't explain White Light any other way... Fine. This question doesn't count. Ask something else.]
Something else, huh.
Seong Jihan thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered the concern he had earlier.
"Alright. Then, is there an easy way for an Administrator to level up?"
[Level up...? You've become an Administrator, why are you talking about leveling up? You're not a player anymore.]
"It's absolutely necessary to deal with Urd. So give me a proper answer, not like before."
[You need to level up to deal with Urd... Hmm.]
At Seong Jihan's words, a flash of light shimmered through the screen.
The White Administrator remained silent for a moment, then,
[You... Come to think of it, are you still the Martial God?]
He suddenly asked if Seong Jihan was still the Martial God.
"Martial God? I have the title."
The Martial God title he inherited by defeating the Wandering Martial God.
This was still occupying one of his title slots to maximize the effect of the EX-grade skill, Infinite Annihilation God.
However, besides that, it was completely useless, so Seong Jihan rarely thought of himself as a "Martial God",
But rather as the "Blue Administrator".
[If you have the title, open the 'Tower of Martial Gods'.]
"Tower of Martial Gods? What's that?"
[It's where fierce battles were fought for the position of Martial God... Yes. It's similar to an arena. However, it was discontinued due to extreme chaos, like the Martial God changing 10 times a day.]
Flash!
As he spoke, the light formed the shape of a towering structure.
[But if you remain undefeated and continue as the master of the tower... If you keep growing the tower... Leveling up will be guaranteed.]
"Really? Then I should do it."
[However, if you lose, your title will be immediately revoked... Are you willing to take that risk?]
As for the risk, currently only the Black Administrator and Urd could threaten him in BattleNet.
'I have to do this.'
As Seong Jihan nodded,
[Good. Then revive this discontinued content yourself...]
The White Administrator explained the method.
