The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 369

Sung JiHan thought about the evolution mission.

"In the Bronze League Evolution Area, achieve a win rate of over 60% against the lowest-ranked species for 7 days."

From the Bronze League to Diamond, the condition is to achieve a win rate of over 60% for 7 days.

Already, by the 6th day, I have achieved 70%, so even if the win rate is a bit lower on the last day, the total will still exceed 60%.

"I've seen the benefits of being a Gilgamesh fan."

He reached the Seat of Power level without much effort and completely free of charge.

He used to be just a bus driver, but when he got on the bus, the ride was quite enjoyable.

Still, it wouldn't be good to let him drive the bus until the end.

I don't know what he might do.

"In the end, I'll ignore the king's command and activate the Seat of Power mode."

While thinking that, Sung JiHan asked Yoon Sae-ah.

"Has there been any change in the king's command?"

"No, not yet..."

Yoon Sae-ah looked around for a moment and whispered to Sung JiHan.

"Something strange is happening. People who like the 'King of the Beginning' have appeared."

"They like the king?"

"Well... 'King of the Beginning' is a bad Seat of Power that gives a penalty of -3 to all stats for the top 100 players. But strangely, there are many people who speak positively about him now. On the first day, they were cursing him."

"Is that so?"

Of course, he wouldn't just sit still.

Sung JiHan frowned.

The top-ranked players, for whom each stat is important.

Even with a crazy penalty of -3 to all stats, he couldn't like Gilgamesh.

But suddenly, on the 6th day, such public opinion formed.

There must be some hidden agenda behind Gilgamesh.

"Have all the people not arrived yet?"

Sung JiHan looked around and spoke to the staff at the Battle.net Center.

"Yes, there are still many players who are sleeping because it's early morning."

"Let them know that I'm here and gather everyone in the auditorium. It's time to collect the king's command."

"Ah, understood!"

The staff quickly moved at Sung JiHan's words.

"Can we really get rid of the king's command?"

"We'll see."

Sung JiHan looked inwardly at the Eternal.

The Eternal, who had risen to 14 in an instant as the fragments of the World Tree were destroyed.

He was in a state of confronting the emptiness he possessed.

Originally, if the two forces collided violently, it wouldn't be strange for a huge explosion to occur.

"But it seems like I've developed. Or maybe it's because I'm handling the Taegeuk Sword... I can control the two forces better than I thought."

Sung JiHan could prevent the collision between the two forces better than when the Eternal was at level 2.

"If it continues like this, the Eternal can grow a little more."

Thinking that, Sung JiHan headed to the auditorium.

And not long after.

"Oh..."

"You really came!"

"We were worried because it's the last day..."

"Thank goodness."

In the auditorium of the Battle.net Center, 500 players hurriedly gathered.

They had successfully completed the evolution mission thanks to the king's command, "Sacrifice the small for the sake of the large."

Now, they were in a situation where they were worried about the "small" that would be sacrificed.

All stats -3.

In a way, one could consider it a small penalty, but for those who compete in the top ranks of each league, it was a tremendous deduction factor.

But Sung JiHan said he could resolve this, so it was only natural for their faces to brighten.

"I am sorry for being late in finding a way to revoke the king's command."

"Oh...!"

"Finally!"

"To... revoke the king's command..."

Most people were taken aback by Sung JiHan's words.

However, some had peculiar expressions.

"Are those the people who showed strange reactions that SeA mentioned?"

Sung JiHan remembered their faces and began his work in earnest.

"Well then, I would like to express my gratitude to Gilgamesh for his hard work on my behalf."

Chi-ik...!

Characters began to appear in the air.

The domination code, which had only been half-written due to a lack of life force, was now being smoothly completed thanks to the exponential growth of the eternal stat.

Then...

"Oh, no...! My king is the only one!"

"I... I must remain loyal..."

How were they brainwashed by the king's command?

The players who had shown strange reactions earlier began to convulse.

But their rebellion was short-lived.

"Uh..."

Their eyes lost focus.

Thud. Thud.

They all kneeled before Sung JiHan.

And it wasn't just them who took on such an attitude.

Swoosh.

Those who hadn't rebelled were not only kneeling but also bowing their heads to the ground.

Reactions as if an emperor or god had descended.

Once the domination code was completed, they were thoroughly enslaved to Sung JiHan.

Not only the ordinary players but also the staff around the auditorium.

[The king's command has been removed by activating the domination code.]

"Would you like to dominate them instead?"

And soon, a message appeared before Sung JiHan.

A proposal to become the ruler in place of Gilgamesh.

Sung JiHan saw everyone, including Yoon SeA, kneeling and bowing their heads.

If only the completed domination code was in his possession.

Could he become a being like a god among humans?

"Not really my cup of tea. Rather, it's unpleasant."

He never had any intention of becoming a ruler in the first place.

And he certainly didn't want to dominate in a brainwashing manner like this.

Swoosh.

Sung JiHan collected the domination code and said,

"No, I will not dominate."

And when he refused...

"Uh..."

"What, what's going on?"

People regained their senses and slowly stood up, looking at each other.

"It's over. Let's check once."

And the players who opened their status windows at Sung JiHan's words.

"Oh. He really disappeared...!"

"We don't have to worry about All Stats -3 anymore?"

"He completely took advantage of the King's Command buff!"

As they saw the King's Command buff effect disappear, they were delighted as if they wanted to jump.

This was the same for those who initially showed strange reactions.

"Then let's enter the last day of the game. Since the buff effect has disappeared, I will activate my Seat of Authority ability to cover for it."

"Yes!"

"Understood!"

With their morale soaring, the people entered the connector room of the BattleNet Center.

Sung JiHan finally made up his mind to activate the Seat of Authority mode in earnest on the last day.

* * *

On the final day of humanity's evolution mission, the 7th day of the competition.

"Oh... What happened? The players aren't showing their resilience like before!"

"According to the news that just came in, the King's Command was released by Sung JiHan."

"So we don't have to sacrifice cows for the sake of the generation? Ah. But this means that the win rate of over 70% for the past 6 days will be broken!"

"That's regrettable. If the win rate is calculated cumulatively, it will be over 60%, right? So even if a 0% win rate comes out in today's game, it will still be over 60% in reality..."

The commentators on Channel 0 noticed that the King's Command buff had disappeared as they watched the progress of the game.

"Oh, why did Gilgamesh withdraw his command ㅠㅠ What if the win rate falls below 60%?"

"You can't just reduce the stats by -3 ㅋㅋㅋ"

"It's not like my stats are being reduced, so what's the big deal? Human evolution is more important!"

"To think that you genuinely think like this ㄷㄷㄷ... If it's reduced by -3, wouldn't it be a decrease of 12 levels for 4 stats ㄷㄷ"

"If you evolve, they'll make up for that loss ㅋㅋㅋ"

Anyway, the calculations will be summed up to be over 60%, right? So even if it falls below 50% today, there's still room.

While many viewers were disappointed that the King's Command had disappeared and wondered what would happen if they couldn't maintain the win rate...

[The Seat of Authority level has decreased to 765.]

As Sung JiHan turned on the Seat of Authority ability in earnest, the battle returned to a level where it was worth fighting.

"Oh, he fights better than I thought?"

"Sung JiHan gave the buff on behalf of the Seat of Authority."

"But he wasn't even a candidate for the Seat of Authority yet? He really does everything..."

"Hey, will it be over 60% again today?"

"Oh, Yoon Se-ah became undead ㅋㅋㅋ It seems like the humans matched against her are guaranteed victory."

Like the King's Command of Gilgamesh, although the win rate dropped compared to before because they didn't have the resilience...

Still, the human players seemed to be able to maintain a win rate of over 60%.

"Bronze's Kal player, victory!"

"Silver's Miyamoto player, victory!"

"Diamond's Yoon Se-ah player, victory with 7 human players!"

As victory reports poured in from all over, the BattleNet Center became busy with real-time win rate calculations.

"The King's Command may have disappeared, but it's still quite impressive."

"The resilience like the elves may be gone, but they still have some resilience."

"At this rate, evolution is certain!"

The staff members were in a buoyant mood.

As Sung JiHan watched the sponsored players perform, he thought to himself.

"The Eternal Stat seems to have increased significantly. The resilience of 500 people has also improved quite a bit."

It wasn't as strong as Gilgamesh's buff, but the players' resilience had improved significantly to the point where it couldn't be considered the same as the original humans.

Whether it was due to the effect of the Eternal Stat or some other factor.

Sung JiHan watched the players' movements closely, with doubts in his mind.

"Oh... It worked!"

"On the 300th match, Abdul player achieved victory!"

And out of 500 people, 300 won, securing a 60 percent win rate.

"Now, let's reap the buffs."

Sung JiHan immediately reaped the buffs.

The activation of the Throne Mode, which was supposed to last only 10 minutes.

[Throne Reach Level decreased to 762.]

He was in a state where he had spent more time than necessary to obtain the final victory.

If this went on for 7 days, the losses would be more than just this.

"If it weren't for Gilgamesh, my level would have dropped significantly."

In times like this, it's subtly helpful, isn't it?

With a grateful heart towards Gilgamesh, Sung JiHan examined the progress of the remaining games.

Human players started to lose dramatically as soon as the buffs were cut off.

-What? Why are we losing so much?

-The buffs got cut off lol

-300 people won, so we still have a 60 percent win rate.

-Well, even though 300 people won, we're all losing now lol

-For real, we win like beans sprouting in a drought when the buffs are cut off.

-Yeah, what would we have done without Gilgamesh? -_-

-We will remember the king of the beginning who gave generously and left...

As the king's orders and the Throne buffs were cut off, the human players started to lose like ghosts.

In the end, out of the remaining 200 people, only 30 achieved victory.

Of course, since the powerful players had already achieved victory, the win rate was even more dismal.

Anyway, if there were no buffs, a 60 percent win rate would never have been possible.

=This... I can't hear the victory report at all!

=It would have been difficult without the buffs.

=Humanity has witnessed the skills of Sung JiHan and the blessings of the king of the beginning, Gilgamesh!

=Today, we can honor him!

=The land that he ruled, Uruk, is said to be in present-day Iraq. Let us celebrate the evolution of humanity towards that direction and raise our glasses!

In any case, evolution is now confirmed.

The commentators raised their glasses and praised Gilgamesh with empty words.

And when all 500 players finished the game.

[All evolution missions have been cleared.]

[The target species for evolution, 'humanity,' is evolving.]

Including Sung JiHan.

In front of everyone's eyes, these messages began to appear.

[In accordance with the environment of the BattleNet, the efficiency of all stats will increase overall.]

[Depending on individual circumstances, the body can evolve partially.]

The increase in stat efficiency applies to everyone.

Is the body evolution different for each individual?

Sung JiHan looked at his body while reading the messages.

"Hmm... I feel like I've become a little stronger."

Perhaps because he was already so strong, he couldn't feel the evolution immediately.

Sung JiHan thought that he would have to test it later and looked at the people coming out of the connector.

He wanted to see if anyone had experienced any changes in their bodies.

At that moment.

"U-Uncle!"

Yoon Sae-ah rushed towards him urgently from a distance.

"L-Look at this!"

She pointed with her finger to a certain area.

"M-My ears...!"

Her ears were slightly sticking out.
