The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 v2 - Chapter 669
“That’s a critical error.”
Pshhh.
Sung Jin-Han’s lips curled up.
The data storage capacity displayed on the central device was still far from being full.
‘Is the system reacting preemptively this time?’
Flicker. Flicker…!
Sung Jin-Han crossed his arms as he watched the endless stream of messages that popped up before him.
If a critical error had been detected, the system would naturally take care of it.
And the way it handles errors…
‘I’ve figured it out to some extent.’
Swish.
Sung Jin-Han briefly turned his gaze to the central device.
While creating the hundred Il-Won, he had tried his best not to touch the device.
He had gathered information about the data storage capacity and the system.
And among that information was…
The way the system responds to this ‘critical error’.
As he narrowed his eyes and thought about his next plan.
[Would you like to update the data on ‘Il-Won’ to the Battle Net System?]
This time, message windows asking to update the data on Il-Won appeared from all sides.
There were a total of 100 message windows.
And below them was a line of text.
[This is the final notice.]
Unlike usual, the message seemed to be filled with emotion.
Until now, the system messages had always been mechanical.
Why did they suddenly seem to carry personal feelings?
“Really?”
Sung Jin-Han smiled and raised his hand.
Whoosh!
The hundred Il-Won that had been stuck in the center of the Ark flew towards the message windows.
Cheeeeeeee!
As the message windows floating in the air were pierced,
The hundred message windows disappeared at once.
After all the messages had disappeared.
Jiiiiing…….
A huge white message appeared before Sung Jin-Han’s eyes.
[The subject has refused the ultimatum.]
[Emergency measures will be activated.]
Then.
Phat…!
A strong light spread out from the Transcendent that had been still until now.
Flicker!
The walls and floor of the Ark began to be submerged in light.
As the pure white light intensified.
Susususu…….
The entire Ark, which had been recognized as a code except for the device,
The text disappeared in an instant.
The Ark, which had entered an unknown territory from the area analyzed by the system.
And.
On the helmet that was rolling on the floor of the central part of the Ark.
Phat…!
Light began to gather.
“Hmm… It seems like they won’t leave us alone anymore. I can tell by the way the light is entering the black helmet that had disappeared.”
“Yes. It seems like it’s time to take action.”
“Yeah…”
Kang-Sang looked at the changes in the Ark with narrowed eyes.
He fixed his gaze on one place.
He was looking at the server access device that contained the black administrator.
“Can I finally destroy that thing now?”
“Yes. Please get rid of it.”
As soon as Sung Jin-Han finished speaking.
Clang!
The Sword of Nothingness left Kang-Sang’s hand and flew in a straight line.
And as the sword seemed to reach the server access device.
Susususu…….
The server access device that contained the black administrator’s armor completely disappeared.
And as the access device disappeared.
Crackle. Crackle…!
The black armor inside it flashed a pure white light and tried to resist the Sword of Nothingness.
However.
“I’ve been waiting for this moment.”
Seung!
The sword ruthlessly cut through the armor, easily ending its struggle.
It was a death that was too futile to be called the end of the black administrator.
The Sword of Nothingness didn’t stop there, and it even cut down the black administrator’s helmet.
The mask that Mitra had worn disappeared so easily, but…
“….”
Kang-Sang, who had cut down the armor, still watched the spot where the armor had disappeared with sharp eyes.
It was a look that seemed to be convinced that it wouldn’t die so easily.
And soon.
Kurururur…!
The floor and walls of the Ark shook,
The structures that made up the walls and floor began to peel away.
And soon, they gathered together.
Thud!
They made a metallic sound and turned into the black administrator’s armor.
The opponent, who had transformed into a giant, purple full-plate mail,
Flicker!
A pure white light flashed from inside the helmet.
The spheres of light that moved like two eyes.
Swish.
They looked at the two people alternately before fixing their gaze on Sung Jin-Han.
[How disappointing.]
* * *
Mitra, who had completed his ‘armor’ form by tearing apart the Ark.
He showed a look of disappointment towards Sung Jin-Han.
[You… are the one who has inherited my powers the most. You could have become like me. So that in the end, you could become my mate and raise the Mitra race…]
“With me, you’re still talking about mates?”
That damn Mitra race, they’re always trying to increase their numbers.
Seong Jin-han frowned.
Blink…!
Within the black helmet, intense light burst forth.
[It’s been 100 years already. That’s enough time to shed your childish ways and become one with me… but what have you done so far?]
“Oh really? Has it already been 100 years?”
Until I could complete Ilwon and make 100 of them.
I thought some time had passed.
I didn’t know it had been a hundred years.
Seong Jin-han responded calmly.
[…To waste your power making mere toys even after obtaining the power of creation.]
Ssssk…
Perhaps Seong Jin-han’s余裕was getting on his nerves.
From Mitra’s body, intense emptiness began to bloom.
[Well, fine. Since I was revived through an ’emergency measure’, I shall guide you myself from now on. If a child does not grow properly, it is the duty of a parent to discipline them properly…]
“How do you plan to educate me?”
[First, I must use the whip. And I will make you destroy what you cherish and turn your hand to creation. Yes…]
Jiiiiing…
A screen appeared next to Mitra.
It showed the frozen image of Yoon Se-ah.
Even though Seong Jin-han had spent 100 years in the Ark, the outside world was still frozen.
The screen showed Yoon Se-ah and the others one by one.
Flick…
It turned off in an instant.
[It seems you are still attached to your childhood toys. If I destroy these, you will use materialization.]
Swish.
Mitra then looked at Kang-sang.
[Unlike your world, which I did not spare… What do you think, Mugeukgeom? Don’t you want to see his choice?]
Seong Jin-han, who did not materialize the data from Server 2101.
I wonder if he would do the same even if his family died.
Or would he? The black administrator looked at Kang-sang, but.
“That won’t happen.”
Kang-sang did not flinch at the provocation.
Clang!
He raised his sword and reached the black armor.
“You will perish here.”
Cheeeeeeek…!
As Mugeukgeom touched it, the armor burst into flames in an instant.
One.
Ssssk…
Unlike before, emptiness seemed to bloom, but the purple armor quickly regained its form.
[Your destructive power is still the same. But that’s just a mere weapon. You cannot destroy me.]
Mitra was shattered by the power of Mugeukgeom, but quickly healed.
He faced Kang-sang with a余裕expression.
He seemed confident that he would never die in this state.
However.
Kang-sang looked at Seong Jin-han with calm eyes, as if he had expected this.
“Your turn.”
And as soon as he finished speaking.
Swish…!
The translucent swords stuck in the ground, Ilwon, flew up by the dozens.
[Heh… Do you think mere toys that have not even reached Mugeuk can affect me?]
Mitra laughed at Seong Jin-han’s attack.
But as dozens of Ilwons reached him.
Jiiiiing…!
The translucent sword body turned a murky blue in an instant.
Ssssk…
The purple armor was quickly covered in a dark blue color.
[Ugh? What is this…]
As the surface color changed from purple to blue.
Thud…
The black armor that had been floating in the air with an aura of emptiness.
It fell to the ground powerlessly.
[No, why, my power…!?]
Even when he was destroyed by Mugeuk.
The ‘Black Administrator’ form, which could quickly recover by tearing apart the Ark’s structures.
But after the armor was stained dark blue by Ilwon.
He was unable to use his power at all.
As Mitra was bewildered by the feeling that his communication with the outside world had been cut off.
Within the helmet that had fallen to the ground.
Jiiiiiing…
Light swirled and the floor of the Ark came into his view.
In particular, the area of the Yeto Honese territory where Seong Jin-han was staying was captured.
[Could this be, Ashoka’s power…?]
Mitra realized where the dark blue color that covered the black armor originated from.
“That’s right, Mitra. Do you think I only polished Ilwon for 100 years after obtaining your power?”
[No, not at all, I didn’t feel anything like that…!]
“Did the Red Administrator reveal everything when he left like that?”
The Red Administrator, whose eyes had turned after handling the Ark’s machinery.
After seeing his betrayal, Seong Jin-han had pretended to be interested in mastering ‘Ilwon’, but.
He had hidden the fact that he was comprehending ‘Yeto Honese’ until the end.
‘It took longer than completing Ilwon…’
If only he had brought Yoon Se-ah’s fusion device.
Ifitweren’tforthis,itmight’vetakennot100yearsbut200or300yearstoclaimtheYetohonseasmyown.
Sung Jin-Woo briefly recalled the days he secretly trained without Mitra noticing.
Swish.
He looked at the black armor wriggling on the floor.
“But you’re weaker than I thought?”
[What…are you talking about?]
“Even though you knew the energy hidden in the fragment was the Yetohon, you couldn’t do anything about it? Ah.”
Thud. Thud.
Sung Jin-Woo squatted down and tapped the ground with his finger.
BOOM!
The inside of the Ark was instantly covered in a dark blue light.
“Is it because the Ark is covered in the Yetohon that you can’t do anything?”
[When…ah. Could it be that the erosion started when the fragment was inserted?!]
“You have good instincts.”
Sung Jin-Woo chuckled and got up from his seat.
“Then, let’s end this now.”
Clank. Clank.
However, the direction Sung Jin-Woo headed to was not where the black armor was, but to where the machinery was gathered.
[…You said you’d end this, but where are you going?]
“Where am I going? You’re here, aren’t you? Not that scrap metal armor.”
Thud. Thud.
Sung Jin-Woo tapped the machinery with his finger.
“Only this guy’s color hasn’t changed, and he’s holding on well… Of course, the real thing is here, isn’t it?”
Just as he said.
Even though the energy of the Yetohon contained in the fragment had completely eroded the Ark.
The only places that weren’t eroded were the central part where the machinery was located and the Transcendence.
Of these, even if the Transcendence was like that.
How could the machinery that controlled the functions of the Ark and the server resist the Yetohon?
“It’s true that the black armor was also eroded as you said… But this device is still intact.”
“That’s right. So…”
Swish.
As Sung Jin-Woo spread his fingers.
100 swords floated up and began to aim at the machinery.
Then.
Flash…!
Light spread from the machinery.
And Mitra’s voice was heard.
[Wait! Okay… I’ll take back what I said about being disappointed.]
Sung Jin-Woo looked at Mitra, who was trying to continue speaking.
Chuckle.
He raised the corners of his lips.
“No. Why are you taking it back?”
[…]
“Just keep being disappointed.”
As he folded his fingers.
BAM!
All 100 swords pierced the machinery.
And the dark blue light began to spread slowly.
[No matter how immature your consciousness is, you know how to use your power…]
Seeing the color of the machinery changing.
Mitra, who had been showing a sense of emptiness.
[Sung Jin-Woo. Upload my code to the system.]
“Why?”
[After you finish your childhood, save me.]
He spoke confidently even though his main body was being eroded.
“…You’re leaving your life to me?”
[Hoho. There’s no one else in this world who can understand you… You’ll need me as a companion eventually.]
Crackle…
The machinery turned into code.
It was longer and more complex than any code Sung Jin-Woo had ever seen.
Is that the code Mitra revealed on his own?
He opened up, believing that Sung Jin-Woo would save him someday.
“They say that the loser never speaks… You’re a guy with a lot to say until the end.”
“That’s right. I’m not going to die quietly. I’m going to stick around until the end.”
I didn’t know you’d be a friend or companion until you died.
Sung Jin-Woo frowned and kicked the discolored machinery.
Then, the code that was crushed and visible.
‘I have to delete it from my memory.’
Around the time Sung Jin-Woo trampled on Mitra’s code and destroyed it.
Kang Sang turned his gaze elsewhere.
“I subdued this guy more easily than I thought… But that’s the problem.”
What he was pointing at was the Transcendence.
The Transcendence, which had been swelling up and flashing brightly since the machinery was destroyed.
It seemed like something needed to be done just by looking at it.
“I’ll take care of that.”
“Is there nothing I can do to help?”
“Your Majesty…”
Swish.
Sung Jin-Woo looked around the Ark.
Even though the Ark had been eroded by the Yetohon and its color had changed.
But there’s no need to leave it alone.
“Please destroy the Ark. Leave no trace of it.”
“I understand. Then… good luck.”
Swish.
As Kang Sang left to destroy the Ark from the outside.
Sung Jin-Woo turned his gaze to the huge halo of light that seemed like it would burst at any moment.
If I had faced that light in the past, I would have been possessed right away.
‘…I can withstand it now.’
Sung Jin-Woo, who had currently put the Yetohon into a fragment.
He had the power to fight against the Transcendence.
‘Let’s go.’
Clank. Clank.
As he took a step towards the light of the Transcendence.
Soon.
BOOM!
A world filled with light unfolded.
