The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Chapter 638:

Chapter 638:

[…]

After a moment of silence in response to Seong Jihan’s words, the White Administrator.

[That… say it again.]

He asked with a trembling voice.

“What? ‘Please give me two traits’?”

[Do it properly.]

“PleaseTwoTraitsPlease.”

[You… took my teeth.]

“Speak plainly. You gave it to me.”

[I did…?]

When trying to ‘upload’ Seong Jihan to Ark.

After failing due to the Blue stat, didn’t he end up handing over the server management device himself?

Well, the White Administrator thought that as long as he sent Seong Jihan to Ark first.

His main body would brainwash and control him, so that was why he did it.

‘The Blue stat sure was effective…’

It would have been over long ago if it weren’t for Blue’s blocking ability.

Remembering when he first went to Ark, Seong Jihan said to the White Administrator.

“So, will you obey my orders?”

[What happened to… the main body in Ark?]

“Probably eating? Thanks to me, he’s eating instead of starving.”

[Starving? What on earth does that mean?]

Id seemed confused by the news that the main body in Ark was starving.

“Ark has already been taken over by Urd, and your main body was barely hanging on with the power of Protection.”

[What…? What on earth…]

“Here. Look.”

Rather than explaining verbally, it would be better to show him directly.

Seong Jihan manifested a mental image showing Id’s state in Ark.

When the image of a bald man with sunken eyes and a skinny body appeared.

[No… W-why has the main body become like this?! The body has shrunk to 1/3 of its size!]

“1/3? I guess he was quite bulky originally.”

Seong Jihan continued to project Id’s actions.

Especially the scene where he gave Seong Jihan the emergency command.

And when he showed the scene of stomping on Noah’s eyes, causing her to vanish.

[…I see. So the main body decided to cooperate with you in the end.]

Only after seeing all that did the White Administrator acknowledge that his main body had joined hands with Seong Jihan.

“Yeah. But you said this was an emergency command… You’re asking quite a lot of questions, aren’t you? Did that Id guy teach me wrong?”

[No… It is indeed an emergency command. But even if it’s a pre-arranged message from the main body, it’s hard to accept it coming from your mouth easily.]

“So do you accept it now?”

To that question, the White Administrator remained silent for a moment, closing his mouth.

[…Fine. From now on, I’ll follow your orders.]

Finally, he agreed to follow Seong Jihan’s words.

‘Does this mean I’m now controlling both permanent administrators, the White and the Black?’

He’d have practically conquered this world if it weren’t for Urd.

Of course, considering the state of Server 4212 subordinate to Ark, it didn’t mean much.

Seong Jihan smiled slightly and asked him about something he was curious about.

“By the way, why are you operating an avatar in this server?”

[That’s…]

“To get one more trait and be released from being an Isolate?”

[You know quite well. Why ask if you know?]

“But how do you obtain traits here?”

[I don’t know the details since I haven’t obtained any yet… but I understand that if I keep performing the duties of the White Administrator, I’ll eventually get one.]

Somehow, this guy seemed to know as little as the main body in Ark.

Looking at the White Administrator who couldn’t answer clearly, Seong Jihan asked another question.

“What was the situation in Ark when you entered the server?”

[Ask the main body about that. I don’t know the exact details.]

“You don’t seem to know much of anything.”

[Kuk… But if I try to recall as much as I can. I think the main body just wanted to become a normal person as soon as possible. And when creating the avatar’s form, he said the mouth and hands for eating food were important, so he made me like this.]

So that was why Id’s avatar only had a mouth and arms attached.

Was the reason just to make sure he could eat food?

“To think that was the reason for that bizarre appearance… Couldn’t he have made it exactly like himself, since it’s just an avatar anyway?”

[The main body didn’t want to do that. He seemed to think that if it was exactly like him, power expansion wouldn’t be possible.]

“Hmm…”

[Ah. And originally, this server… It wasn’t my turn.]

“It wasn’t your turn?”

That’s new information.

[Urd originally held full authority as the White Administrator. But suddenly she gave up her authority, so I was brought in as a substitute.]

“Hmm. As a substitute…”

Come to think of it, he had heard that the White Administrator’s authority was much greater originally.

When Urd gave up her authority and yielded it to the Black one.

Didn’t this guy complain that the power available to the White Administrator had decreased?

[So I didn’t know Urd had already taken over Ark too. I couldn’t imagine my main body would end up in such a state…]

“Hmm. But that’s strange. The current server number is 4212… Wasn’t the situation already over when you were brought in? You should have known Ark had been taken over.”

Even in Dongbang Sak’s server in the 2000 range, Urd had overturned everything.

Now in the 4000 range, Ark should have been completely under her control for a long time.

How could he not know that?

Seong Jihan expressed his doubt, but.

[The avatar data of Isolates like me… was registered in advance before the server was created. Back then, the atmosphere among Isolates was one of mutual encouragement to somehow become normal people.]

“Hmm…”

Seong Jihan pondered those words deeply.

The avatars of Isolates were already registered before the server even opened.

Until then, not knowing what Urd would do, the Isolates cheered each other on to become normal, was that it?

“But I guess there was a limit to the number of avatars that could enter the server?”

[Yes. There’s only one White Administrator position. Originally, the principle was one avatar per server.]

“What about the rest then?”

[The avatars just remain on standby. As for the main bodies… they’re just resting in Ark, I guess? You’ve seen it, so you should know.]

Seong Jihan recalled the new humans he had seen in Ark at those words.

Except for Id, who was barely maintaining his sanity with the power of Protection.

Weren’t they all subdued by Urd and lying collapsed?

‘I guess they lived freely in Ark before being trapped in the prison of time.’

So if you just register an avatar in the server, was it a system where you take turns entering to work as the White Administrator and try to catch opportunities for power expansion?

‘So the main bodies of the new humans were living the life of immortals then.’

And as the servers were operated in turn like that.

Did Urd overturn everything and take control of it all?

When Seong Jihan voiced his speculation.

[That must have been the case… That’s why when I heard that Urd had taken over all of Ark, I couldn’t believe it.]

“Was there nothing notable about Urd before the creation?”

[I don’t remember well since I’m not the main body. Ah. Well… I thought her face was quite decent, at least.]

Why was this guy suddenly talking about faces?

Seong Jihan furrowed his brow.

“Do you new humans care about appearance too? You’ll all just look like light eventually anyway.”

[A-appearance is important in any era! Besides, Urd has the appearance that became the prototype for the World Tree Elves. It’s not a common face…]

“Ah. I see…”

Seong Jihan thought he might offer some useful information.

But in the end, the conclusion was ‘Urd was pretty’?

‘Hah. This guy is really useless.’

Still, just in case, he asked various other questions, but.

[The essence of the server? Well…? Isn’t it just virtual reality?]

“How is it created?”

[Well…? I don’t really know. Do you know how BattleNet was created?]

“Ah. I was curious about that too. How does BattleNet’s structure work?”

[…I don’t know that either?]

No clear answers came from the White Administrator.

It felt less like he was hiding something and more like he genuinely didn’t know.

Seong Jihan became certain that even if he brought more authority than the emergency command, he wouldn’t get any useful answers from this guy.

“Sigh. Forget it. It’s my fault for expecting anything. You. Just focus on running away well from now on.”

[Run away…?]

“Yeah. Try to buy some time without getting caught by Urd. I’ll contact the Black Administrator too, so coordinate with him to escape.”

[Coordinate with the Black Administrator? Alright… With his help, I can buy as much time as needed.]

“Don’t be overconfident and hide with all your might. Think of it as for your main body’s sake, not mine.”

[Understood. Just trust me.]

Seong Jihan narrowed his eyes at the other’s confident response.

This guy really didn’t inspire much trust.

“Well, run away for now. Contact me immediately if anything happens.”

[Come on. I get it, so stop talking. I’m not some abandoned child. Of course I’ll escape well!]

“…Right.”

Flash…!

Watching the White Administrator disappear into light, Seong Jihan sighed quietly.

Still, after talking this much, he probably wouldn’t act rashly like last time.

‘Now then, I should contact the Black Administrator.’

At this point in time, the Black Administrator was pretending to pursue the White Administrator while assisting Urd.

He needed to tell him to ally with the White Administrator.

‘At the same time, I should ask about the essence of the server.’

Since he introduced himself as a data management AI.

He should know more than the White Administrator.

With these thoughts, Seong Jihan sent a communication to the Black Administrator.

* * *

[…Understood. I will ally with the White Administrator from now on. And.]

The Black Administrator continued after hearing Seong Jihan’s communication and immediately agreeing to cooperate with the White Administrator.

[Regarding the server, I will explain in person once the White Administrator’s escape route is stably altered. Right now, the White Administrator’s new jump location is too close to Urd, requiring immediate management.]

“…It got closer?”

[Yes.]

He had a bad feeling from when he confidently said he’d escape.

That White guy, did he almost self-destruct again?

“Alright. Manage him first for now.”

[Understood.]

Beep.

As the communication with the Black Administrator ended.

Seong Jihan felt he had some free time for the first time in a while.

‘Hmm… Should I take a little breather?’

Since re-entering Ark, he hadn’t had a moment’s rest.

And he’d managed to control the ticking time bomb that was the White Administrator.

Seong Jihan decided to return home for now.

Fwoosh…!

As he opened a portal and returned home.

“Ah. Right…”

Dozens of boxes of cola and cider were neatly stacked in the living room.

‘I leveled up a lot mixing these.’

Since the server rolled back to a day ago.

The contents of the boxes that had gone into his stomach had also returned.

‘…I’ll have to drink them again to raise Blue.’

The Blue stat that had shown outstanding effects even in Ark.

This ability needed to be raised as much as possible while he could.

Splash splash splash…

As he poured cola and cider recklessly into a large pot.

He sank deep into thought.

‘But this ability… thinking about it again, it’s really amazing.’

The Blue stat, which was essentially inherited from Ashoka.

Combined with Martial Soul, it was showing outstanding efficiency in various aspects.

However.

‘Even though I’m supposed to be the Blue Administrator, I still seem to know less than usual about Blue…’

He had raised the stat grade to SSS.

Nevertheless, Blue was still an ability Seong Jihan hadn’t fully figured out.

Blue, which seemed like he almost understood it now, yet questions remained.

As he poured cola and cider until the pot was about to overflow.

He recalled the light power ‘Observation’ he had just obtained.

‘…I wonder if I can analyze abilities with Observation?’

Hmm.

Nothing to lose by trying.

Let’s take a look at Blue with the eyes of an Observer.

Seong Jihan left the kitchen and approached a mirror.

Then he activated the power of Observation located in his right eye.

Fwoosh…!

[Please think of a target to observe.]

A voice echoed in his mind.

‘Alright.’

Swish…

As Seong Jihan emanated blue energy so that the eye of light could observe Blue.

[Observing stat ‘Blue’…]

The inner voice continued.
