The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2

[What’s going on? Oh, this place is…]

The red eyes that came out of the black seal box immediately displayed text.

[This place… is the world of the main body?]

The administrator’s hand, already convinced that Seong Jihan is the main body.

He smiled bitterly and answered.

“You’re still saying that.”

[I’m certain. The main body is the main body. But.]

Swoosh.

The administrator’s hand looked at the red sphere Seong Jihan was trying to deal with.

[What is that?]

“It’s a troublesome thing that will devour this world.”

[You need power?]

“You know well.”

Seong Jihan stared at the red eyes while holding them.

To free his Sister and block Taiji.

He needed to gain the power of stat Red here.

A lot, in a very short time.

To do that.

‘I’ll have to absorb this.’

Previously, he didn’t think of absorbing it for fear of being completely swayed by the power of Red.

But now it’s different.

To obtain both, not just one or the other.

It’s okay to take some risks.

As Seong Jihan thought so, a message popped up in his eyes.

However, there.

[Main body… You’re not going to eat me, are you?]

“Yes.”

[The main body still lacks the power to fully dominate me. You may be caught up in the power of Red.]

“Then wouldn’t that be good for you?”

[It’s not good.]

The red eyes that previously wanted to be absorbed by him were rather dissuading him.

“Why?”

[Because the grand plan the main body originally thought of may collapse. Even if I take over the main body, it won’t help the plan.]

“…Still, I need power, and I have to absorb you.”

The two whose positions have completely changed compared to before.

The administrator’s hand, perhaps reading Seong Jihan’s firm will, offered a compromise.

[Hmm. Then… Just implant me in the main body’s flesh.]

“Implant?”

Swoosh…

The eyes grew rapidly.

It transformed into a human arm.

At first glance, it was an arm the same size as Seong Jihan’s.

But on the back of that hand, there were red eyes and reddish energy swirling on the skin.

[Cut off your right arm and attach this.]

“You’re really cooperative. Suspiciously so.”

[I can also dominate the main body if eaten… However, I am certain that is not the best. Because the main body is the main body. The main body must remain as the main body, if I become the main, the grand plan will be distorted.]

“For the first time, I feel like I’m benefiting from that main body talk.”

Seong Jihan smiled as he looked at the administrator’s hand babbling about the main body.

And then.

Crack!

He immediately ripped off his right arm.

– Oh, uh…

– No, what is Seong Jihan doing?

– Don’t tell me. He’s going to attach that arm?

– Isn’t that the administrator’s arm? If he attaches something like that, it seems like something bad will happen -_-;;

– No, why is he doing such a dangerous thing…

– To block that Taiji??

– Then we don’t have to evacuate?

At first, human viewers were startled to see Seong Jihan’s actions.

Poof.

As he implanted the administrator’s hand.

Ssss…

And it fused as if it was nothing.

– ??

– What. It attached so easily?

– Wasn’t that the administrator’s arm…

– It can be implanted like that without any problems?

– Does that make sense? What the hell is this human Seong Jihan…

– No, he may already be under control.

– If he was under control, his body should change like the Red tribe, but it’s the same?

Alien viewers were rather in an uproar.

The red administrator’s arm.

Despite implanting such a tremendous thing, how is the human body still being maintained?

They couldn’t understand.

And.

[‘Red Administrator’s Arm’ is implanted.]

[Stat ‘Red’ increases by 300.]

‘Crazy.’

In front of Seong Jihan’s eyes, a stat increase he had never seen before in his life appeared.

300 increased at once.

If he had known this guy would cooperate like this, he should have implanted it long ago.

‘No.’

For that, the risk posed by the red administrator’s hand was not insignificant.

If it wasn’t an emergency like now, he wouldn’t have done this no matter how much it raised his abilities.

Even now, it’s only cooperative on the outside.

Its inner thoughts are still unknown.

But now.

[Are you okay? Even with your current abilities, it will be difficult to dominate.]

On top of Seong Jihan’s right hand, it was kindly sending worried messages.

“There’s no abnormality at all?”

And Seong Jihan, who pulled out his original arm and implanted the red one.

He felt strange seeing his body adapting so quickly despite the new foreign substance entering.

At this rate, it really seems like he’s the main body.

And.

[As expected, main body. You are the main body. I’m certain, certain, and certain again.]

The administrator’s hand emphasized several times that Seong Jihan was the main body while looking at him.

“…Stop saying that. I’m going to handle some work.”

[Understood. I’ll also look around a bit since I’m out in the world.]

Ziiing…

The text [Gathering Information] appeared in the eyes on the back of the hand.

After that, the administrator’s hand no longer displayed any text.

‘Then I should do my part.’

Seong Jihan brought his right arm to the red sphere.

* * *

10 minutes later.

Swoosh…

The Taiji that was ominously spreading in the giant’s body gradually ceased.

– Ooh…

– It seems to be working?

– That damn Taiji is disappearing…

– Is it working because he implanted the hand?

– I hope there are no side effects on Seong Jihan…

Seeing the Taiji that appeared in the humanity annihilation scenario disappear, people were relieved, but they were also worried about what impact the administrator’s hand would have on Seong Jihan.

‘…It’s too smooth.’

Seong Jihan was smoothly utilizing the stat that increased by +300.

To the point where he thought he might actually be the red administrator.

‘In the first place, Yggdrasil said that humanity is the red administrator, but even within that, there can be differences in talent…’

While having doubts about himself like that.

For now, Seong Jihan was gathering the manifested Taiji one by one.

Still, perhaps because he was reversing the already spinning Taiji.

Ssss…

A massive amount of void spewed out from the giant’s body.

Most of it was sucked into the half-mask Seong Jihan was wearing.

‘Something is colliding inside.’

It didn’t seem to be absorbed obediently, as there seemed to be a rather intense collision inside the mask.

‘It can’t be helped even if it breaks. I can’t leave Taiji alone.’

Since he acquired it from the High Elf, he had been using it really well.

Seong Jihan thought so and accelerated the control of the sphere.

Crack…!

By the time the half-mask was completely cracked.

“Phew…”

The Taiji disappeared, and instead, the giant’s hollowed-out body was revealed.

The Taiji’s Lost Soul, whose flesh had already mostly disappeared.

The remaining part was where the Lost Soul had desperately protected.

Only where the key was.

‘…’

Step. Step.

Seeing this, Seong Jihan walked there.

There.

With half of his face shattered.

And only his left arm remaining among his limbs.

The Lost Soul was lying there, tightly holding the key in his left hand.

“You… protected it until now.”

“Yes. Because it was the only thing I could do.”

The Lost Soul, who handed over the key with his crumbling arm.

He smiled bitterly.

“I didn’t expect you to choose both Taiji and the key…”

“If I have the ability, there’s no need to choose only one.”

“…Instead, you’ll be in danger.”

“I was in danger normally anyway. I just added one more burden on my back.”

Seong Jihan, who referred to implanting the administrator’s hand as simply a burden.

He clenched and unclenched his reddish hand.

“And so far, that burden has been very cooperative.”

“Is that so…”

The Lost Soul, who was visibly relieved when Seong Jihan received the key.

He turned his gaze to Seong Jihan’s mask.

“Then… will you take on one more burden?”

“Will it be helpful? Like this arm.”

“It will be helpful. Although the risk is high.”

“Then as much as you want.”

“Implant the core into that mask. Using the Sacred Flame.”

“Into this?”

Tap. Tap.

Seong Jihan tapped the half-mask he was wearing.

The void processor that was already cracked enough to shatter at any moment.

If the core is implanted here, won’t it explode properly?

However.

“If that is the void processor of the green administrator… Our core is the way the red processes the void.”

“The way the red processes the void was that?”

“That’s right. The void is like… cancer cells to the administrators. It required proper processing.”

“Then the void processors of red and green are combining.”

“Correct. The side effects are unpredictable, but…”

Crumble…

The Lost Soul’s face was slowly turning to dust.

“You will be able to gain power.”

“Then I have to do it.”

“I knew you would answer like that.”

Half of the Lost Soul’s face disappeared.

Only his mouth moved last.

“Please take care of those two…”

The two must be Seong Jiah and Yoon Seah.

“Okay. Leave it to me and rest.”

Perhaps hearing Seong Jihan’s answer, the Lost Soul completely disappeared.

He looked at it with mixed feelings and turned his back.

Thud. Thud.

He headed towards the core of the abyss owner that was slowly fading away.

He grabbed it and.

Poof!

He pressed it directly onto the mask.

Then.

Fwoosh…!

The white flames of the Sacred Flame springing up from inside.

[The void processors are merging.]

The Sacred Flame burning from the sphere quickly incinerated the mask.

The white flames soon attached to Seong Jihan’s face.

[Will you absorb the merged void processor?]

The mask that was breaking apart asked if he would devour the void processor combined with the core.

Following the administrator’s arm, this was another bomb.

However.

“Absorb it.”

Seong Jihan, who had already decided to push himself, had no hesitation.

Then.

Crack…!

A sound of something splitting came from the half of the face where the mask was worn.

And.

– Oh… Seong Jihan’s face…

– It cracked similarly to that opponent earlier…

– Wh-What, is this also being dominated?

The viewers noticed the change.

On the half of Seong Jihan’s face where he wore the half-mask.

Like the Lost Soul’s, there were cracks.

Of course, it wasn’t cracked all over like that.

But the line rising from the end of his chin to his cheek.

It was a fissure that seemed to carve his face at any moment.

However.

‘…The absorption went well.’

Seong Jihan touched it and smiled bitterly.

Following the arm, the change in the partially cracked face.

His body was gradually transforming into non-human flesh.

But the reward for absorbing this was that great.

[Void increases by 300.]

[The limit of void stat accommodation is set to 999.]

Perhaps related to the administrator’s arm, the void that increased by 300.

In addition, the void limit that had been hindering Seong Jihan until now was greatly raised to 999.

Since the void processor has entered the body like this, it must have become like that.

However.

[The more you use the power of the void, the more erosion will slowly progress.]

Seong Jihan frowned at the subsequent message.

The void limit is 999, but why is the void erosion progressing?

At this rate, isn’t it no different from a time-limited power?

‘Well, it’s not just this that’s time-limited.’

The incomplete half of the face.

The incomplete arm.

In addition to the eternity inside.

Everything is a powder keg that could explode at any moment.

It wouldn’t be strange if it eroded him right now.

But.

“…Don’t worry about the two.”

Seong Jihan looked at the key he had received.

The Lost Soul was willing to abandon 7 billion to save the two.

But still, the best ending would be to save both the 7 billion and the two, right?

“This time, I will definitely put a complete end to it.”

The power he gained by pushing himself a bit for that purpose.

These just need to not explode until he fights Martial God.

If they endure like that, they will become a solid foundation for him when he challenges them.

And.

‘The amazing achievement Yggdrasil mentioned… I can attempt it.’

His eyes sank deep.

* * *

Meanwhile.

On the star of Marital God, Tuseong.

[…Huh.]

Looking at Seong Jihan’s arm, The Martial God sighed.

He was going to activate the Golden Wheel unconditionally, regardless of whether he won or lost.

[To accept the arm like that.]

A variable had appeared.
