The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 394

"I will reveal the full secret, and it turns out to be true. I have obtained the information."

The Sung JiHan.

As a Sung JiHan, the fact that it amplifies the power of the Divine Seat was unexpected.

Furthermore, it is engraved with the records from when humanity entered the Battle Net to its destruction.

"...In the depths of the Taegeuk's soul, I recall the countless deaths I experienced."

Various images came to mind simultaneously.

Being crushed by the Taegeuk Sword, the remnants of Sung JiHan mixed within the owner of the Abyss.

And the third bell, which possessed the ability to turn back time...

"Seal the power in the Divine Seat. When humanity is destroyed, turn back time... If this process is repeated hundreds, thousands of times, the numbers will increase like the Divine Seat in the current sky."

Although the exact process of how the Divine Seat operates is still unknown,

Sung JiHan speculated that it would proceed in such a manner.

Meanwhile,

As Sung JiHan was lost in thought and did not respond,

[Of course, even if I were to cooperate, it would be difficult to believe easily.]

Thinking that he was being rejected, Gilgamesh spoke again.

"That's right."

[But our quarrel is trivial. The power of the Divine Seat, our common enemy, is already too powerful for one person to handle. Yes. In order to gain trust, I will reveal the seal location of the sealed world tree.]

Gilgamesh made up his mind and decided to reveal the information first.

"It's a place close to where your country is."

Sung JiHan smirked as soon as he heard those words.

"I already know that place, though."

"...Is that so? Hm. I wondered where you obtained more life force... So you were able to complete the domination code there."

Upon Sung JiHan's response, Gilgamesh learned the reason why the domination code was completed during the evolution of the species.

"Then... please tell me the term to control the world tree within the seal."

Ssssh. Ssssh.

The chains that bound his arms trembled.

In front of Sung JiHan's eyes, characters appeared.

Characters similar to those that made up the domination code.

"It's time to ring the snake's neck."

It meant that.

"If you write this on the world tree, you will be able to easily release the seal."

"The snake... is...."

[It's a god.]

Sssss...

Gilgamesh's chains gradually loosened.

His voice became fainter and fainter.

"In my widely spread epic, it is said that the snake took the herb of immortality. But in reality, it was the opposite. I received immortality from the snake..."

"..."

"Unlock the seal of the World Tree and gain power from there. After that, we can discuss cooperation."

Gilgamesh's chains disappeared after delivering the message.

"He just seems like he wants to unlock the seal of the World Tree."

Although I said that I informed him of the information first for cooperation,

Gilgamesh's true purpose is to unlock the seal of the World Tree, isn't it?

While Sung JiHan thought that, he still remembered the phrase to unlock the seal.

And...

"..."

"Is it over?"

The chains that were created at the sacrifice of five people disappeared.

Only the Chinese players were left, staring at Sung JiHan.

"Oh, what was that just now?"

"That thing that came out of the magic circle... was it the Tower of Babel? Wasn't that clearly Gilgamesh's?"

"It's worrisome that there are still forces following him, and there were five people in the Chinese national team...!"

"But for something summoned like that, it disappeared too easily."

"Rather than restraining Sung JiHan, it seemed like they were having a conversation."

"Yes. I didn't hear what they said... but his mouth was moving, right?"

The commentators expressed their doubts while watching the situation of the second match.

"Why aren't they attacking? Sung JiHan was captured."

"He was only captured with one arm tied, and they were comfortably having a conversation lol."

"Even if they attacked from the beginning, no damage would have been done lolol."

"Seriously, you have to deal damage to receive damage."

"But what did they talk about?"

-Sung JiHan didn't broadcast his personal stream, which is a shame; I can't understand anything from the live broadcast screen.

The viewers were curious about what Sung JiHan was talking about while watching his lips move.

Hmm.

After seeing the disappearance of the Babel Tower and the magic circle, Sung JiHan said,

"Thank you all for waiting."

He glanced at the remaining Chinese players.

"Well then, shall we finish with the next two matches?"

Swoosh...

When an armament appeared from Sung JiHan's arm,

"Did it not receive any damage from the chains...?"

"Ma, block it...!"

The Chinese players quickly tried to respond, but...

Whoosh!

The sword swung horizontally first.

Thud. Thud...

The bodies of the falling Chinese players, one after another.

And at the same time,

Thud! Thud!

All the trees in the Great Forest began to fall.

[The second match is over.]

And immediately, the match end message appeared.

* * *

After the second match.

=The second match is over!

=Not a single Chinese player could block Sung JiHan's sword...

=We were wondering if the chains would be enough, and as expected, this is the result!

=Both the first and second matches, Korea wins and takes the advantageous position!

The commentators talked about the victory as if it were obvious.

-Kiya... As expected, the sword!

-It didn't end in one minute, but if it wasn't for those chains, it could have been done in 30 seconds.

-Did the Chinese players give up too quickly?

-No, they tried to block it but couldn't.

-Sung JiHan's card in the national team game is too much of a cheat, lol.

The viewers, the commentators,

Even the Chinese national team players, everyone expected it, a one-sided game.

'This should be enough.'

Sung JiHan decided to stop interfering in the national team game at this point.

Having led the first and second matches to victory, the rest of the matches should be handled by the Korean national team.

And also,

'I should quickly examine the seal of the World Tree.'

Now he had also defeated the Abyssal Mixture.

He must have learned the characters that would dominate the World Tree.

Preparations were complete, so he felt like he should attack the Deep Sea's Eight Palaces a little faster.

"Uncle, let's go?"

"Well, can we win one of the remaining three games?"

"Of course!"

"Great."

Sung JiHan reached out to the confident Yoon Se-ah.

Swoosh...

Then, the power of emptiness that had turned her into an undead and the blessing of immortality were returned to Sung JiHan.

"Is it possible without this?"

"Of course. We will win one game, right...?"

Yoon Se-ah suddenly seemed to lack confidence.

At that moment, Yoon Se-jin came out from behind and tapped her on the shoulder.

"Se-ah, have confidence. We beat the opponent last time too. We can definitely win."

"That's right! Uncle, don't worry. We'll finish it."

"Okay. I believe in you."

After shaking hands, Sung JiHan approached Director No Young-jun and greeted him.

"Director, I'll be going now."

"Ah, JiHan. It's a bit... awkward to say goodbye."

"Yes, Director. Personally, I feel a bit uncomfortable to intervene any further."

"Yeah, yeah. Just the fact that you helped us win two matches against China is enough to be grateful..."

From the perspective of the coach, since Sung JiHan participated in the China match, I wanted to rely on him until the end.

"But if he doesn't want to go, there's nothing I can do...."

From Sung JiHan's point of view, Coach No YoungJun was thoroughly in favor of Eul.

"Alright."

Whoosh!

And so, Sung JiHan left the Battle.net Center.

Coach No YoungJun looked at the spot where he disappeared with regretful eyes, then looked around at the players.

"...Yes. I relied on JiHan too much until now. Let's win the next game among ourselves."

"Yes, Coach!"

"We still have a chance as long as JiHan is on our side in the China match. Let's finish the game in three matches."

"Understood!"

That's how the Korean national team decided to give their all in the three matches.

=This time, China banned Sung JiHan. But Yoon SeA is still alive. Will it be a rematch of the first match?

=Um... But Yoon SeA. It seems like she's not undead like in the first match?

=T-This... What happened?

=It seems like Sung JiHan is absent again!

As Yoon SeA's undead state was lifted, it became clear that Sung JiHan was absent.

"Sung JiHan is gone...?"

"Now's our chance!"

"We can turn the tables now...!"

The Chinese national team, who had shown a weak performance in the first two matches, started a fierce comeback.

=3, 3 matches. We lose!

"Ah. Je GalHeon is really strong...!"

"That's why we should ban only Je GalHeon...!"

With Sung JiHan gone, the atmosphere of the game changed drastically.

-Wait, where did Sung JiHan go? ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-They were talking with Gilgamesh, maybe something urgent came up....

-Ah, now that I can't receive the carry from Sung JiHan, I can really feel it.

-Ugh, I hope we don't lose...?

And so, the game that had been fiercely contested since the third match.

"Ah. Ban, ban card... Hit. It hit! Two key players from China were banned!"

"On the other hand, we survived! Sung JiHan was banned in the 1-10 ban!"

"The final match. We can expect it...!"

In the end, in the fifth match, Korea barely won with one victory.

=3, 3:2... Even though it seemed like an easy win in the first two matches, it was a truly difficult game!

"But it's important that we won! South Korea defeats the world's second place China and advances to the Champions League as the first place in the regional league!"

That's how Korea secured their spot in the Champions League as the first place in the group.

"Should I go in?"

Sung JiHan arrived at the underwater location and finished preparing to enter the Gugungpalgwado.

* * *

Shuuuuu...

As Sung JiHan entered the Gugungpalgwado, he felt the world turning upside down.

And as soon as the world completely turned upside down.

"Hmm... Is this the Reverse Heaven and Earth Formation?"

The space-sealing point-blood technique that Dongbangsak had used.

The Reverse Heaven and Earth Formation was automatically activated.

"So that's why he told me to acquire the Blood Technique. He must have known that this would happen."

Although the pressure of the Reverse Heaven and Earth Formation was stronger than when he had applied it to himself, Sung JiHan, who knew the Blood Technique, easily bypassed it.

And then.

Whoosh!

The sword that was flying towards Sung JiHan from above.

Stopped right in front of him.

"If I hadn't released the Reverse Heaven and Earth Formation, the sword would have pierced me."

The sword stayed still in front of Sung JiHan's eyes.

Whoosh!

And flew back into the sky.

"Hmm."

Sung JiHan looked around.

Unlike the secluded landscape from before, there was a barren wasteland with cracked earth and no signs of life.

"Above the sky, there are ten floating swords...."

Although the sword from earlier had a powerful momentum.

With the power Sung JiHan currently possesses, he was able to easily suppress it.

"But for now, let's not clash and take a look around."

Sung JiHan slowly looked around while moving forward.

It took about ten minutes.

Soon, his eyes caught sight of a giant tree.

"Judging by the energy it possesses, it seems to be a World Tree... There doesn't seem to be anyone guarding it like last time."

The immense vitality emanating from the giant tree.

It was similar to the power the previous World Tree possessed.

The only difference this time was...

"This World Tree is entirely red."

From the roots to the trunk, and even the branches and leaves.

This World Tree was composed entirely of a creepy crimson color.

"Judging by the color, is there an enemy's power infused here?"

When Sung JiHan approached the red World Tree to examine it more closely.

Kururur...

The roots rose from the ground.

They intertwined and formed letters in the air.

[Would you like to release the seal?]

Shwook!

At the same time, a huge wooden plank rose from the ground.

The letters that were formed in the air transformed.

[Please enter the seal release phrase here.]

Was this what Gilgamesh taught him, to use it here directly?

If he were to release a seal right away, it would be too obvious that he was following the enemy's intentions.

"I'll use it later."

Sung JiHan replied like that in order to explore this world first.

[Understood.]

The letters of the roots positively accepted this.

"A red World Tree... It doesn't seem to hold any hostility towards me."

Sung JiHan thought it was fascinating and approached the World Tree.

As he got closer, he realized how massive the tree was.

Its scale was so large that hundreds of people could fit inside.

"Where should I start examining...."

When Sung JiHan reached out his hand to the red World Tree like that.

[Caution. Caution. Observer approaching.]

Suddenly, red letters appeared in front of him.

Kururur!

A hole was pierced in one of the pillars of the World Tree, and a red arrow floated in the air, pointing at it.

[We recommend you come this way.]

"...Why are they being so kind? No, is it a trap?"

Sung JiHan hesitated for a moment, considering whether to go in or not.

"Maybe it's better to absorb this from the inside."

If it was a trap, he thought of swallowing the World Tree in reverse and entered the pillar.

It wasn't a trap, but rather an incredibly comfortable interior of the pillar.

Even though he should be vertically inside the tree trunk, it felt like lying on a soft bed.

And not long after.

Thud. Thud.

The sound of footsteps approaching the red World Tree.

"Someone definitely intruded...."

A muffled voice could be heard from beyond the pillar.

As Sung JiHan, it was a familiar sound to his ears.

[Would you like to observe the observer?]

As if following the status window message, letters appeared in the air inside the pillar.

Sung JiHan nodded his head.

Thuck. Thuck.

Holes were pierced in the walls of the pillar.

The outside became visible.

And the observer that was revealed.

"As expected... It's him."

It was the sharp-faced Dong BangSak.
