The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 286

The Space League match between humans and the Join race, which is being re-aired on TV.

The game that Sung JiHan missed was a very intense match that went up to 5 games.

"Oh, the Join race banned again!"

"It seems like they're conscious of Sung JiHan, since they were so one-sidedly defeated in the previous 'Planet Development'."

"Even without Sung JiHan, humans are helping like this. In terms of bans, we have a overwhelmingly advantageous position!"

The commentators shouted as they watched the representatives of the Join race and the human coach Davis exchanging ban cards.

Even though Sung JiHan didn't participate, humans were benefiting greatly from the ban cards.

"I didn't participate, so does that mean Oliver got banned?"

"Yeah. We completely benefited from the ban cards. But..."

"Oh, the Red Sky map... It's out again!"

"Isn't BattleNet going too far? How can they assign only maps that are overwhelmingly advantageous to the flying race?"

"But we've experienced it once. I believe the human representative team is well-prepared!"

The Red Sky map.

From the beginning, this map, which starts in the sky,

was overwhelmingly advantageous for the winged race.

Of course, even the human players summoned in the sky didn't immediately fall, as they started the game under the effect of the Fly spell.

But it was obvious who would have the advantage when the race that had been flying in the sky since birth and the humans who had to rely on the Fly spell clashed in the sky.

"Oh, Geomwang. I'll hold on as much as I can..."

"The Join players are really making good use of the flying race's advantages!"

"Oh, they're attacking from the rear again..."

"This, human player! We're wiped out..."

[Now that that monster is sealed, they're just an ordinary race!]

[How are they maintaining this ranking? It's strange.]

[If we ban only the first place, humans will definitely win.]

The Join race's disdain for humans dominating them in aerial battles was translated and heard.

"Oh..."

"Since Sung JiHan isn't here, we can't win."

"It's just one person missing, but the empty spot is too big."

"Humans suffer their first defeat in the Space League..."

"The ranking has dropped significantly, down to 7th place."

The ranking of humans, who had been in the top ranks, dropped to 7th place.

-But still, is it reasonable to lose to the last place?

-You watched the game -_- They drew the map select cards too well.

-But they were practically without ban cards too.

-Disregarding Oliver?

-Even if Oliver is good, he's only at 0.1 Sung JiHan's level lol

-Disregarding Sung JiHan? He's at 0.001.

The viewers who were watching the game exploded.

"Where did Sung JiHan go? He has no sense of responsibility as the top-ranked human."

"What happened to him?"

"They said he didn't come out of the training center..."

"He should have stopped training and come out for such an important game!"

"He probably didn't know he would lose like this to the last place :("

"But even if he had come out, he would have kept getting banned. Shouldn't they be able to win even without Sung JiHan?"

-The performance shown by humanity in this game was terrible...

Among foreign viewers, there were voices blaming Sung JiHan.

But the voices calling for reflection from the representative team of humanity, who lost to one person, were even louder.

=Commentator. The aftermath of yesterday's defeat is intense.

=Yes. The representative team of humanity without Sung JiHan... Everyone saw that reality yesterday. Of course, the Joint Clan also showed a strong presence.

=Actually, there was no weak race among the races we faced. Not only the World Tree Elves, but also the Orcs had very strong leaders. And what about the Dragons? In a way, being in the current ranking is like a miracle.

=If we assume that Sung JiHan was not there this time, what game could we have won from the previous matches?

=None. We wouldn't have won a single game.

The cold analysis of the experts saying that without Sung JiHan, we wouldn't have won a single game.

In fact, the number of victories that humanity has accumulated so far and the current ranking are miraculous results.

=With this defeat in the game, the ranking has dropped and dungeon portals have started to appear everywhere, and the exchange rate of GP has increased.

=The benefits of the top ranks have disappeared...

=When will Sung JiHan return...

While listening to the expert's analysis of yesterday's game defeat on the news, Sung JiHan turned his gaze away.

"I've seen enough, let's turn off the TV now."

"Yeah..."

Click.

"After watching the game, it seems like we had bad luck with the map."

"But we should have won. We were lacking."

"That's true."

Sung JiHan nodded.

The Joint Clan, who escaped from the relegation zone in the previous life thanks to the flying ability.

Thanks to Sung JiHan, not only the players but also humanity survived compared to the previous life.

Although they received a significant growth rate adjustment, there were still many shortcomings.

"To truly feel the growth bonus effect, it will take a few more months... Until then, I should just think of myself as the lowest among all races."

No. Even if several months pass and the growth is rapid, I'm not confident that I can escape from the bottom.

Humanity.

In the solemn Battle.net world, they are a race that doesn't really have any advantages.

"That's why, even more so, I have to climb up to the promotion match this season and escape from Battle.net."

When facing Sung JiHan, the other races who tasted his power.

They made it a first principle to ban him.

Now, there weren't many races who had experienced Sung JiHan's power.

But if they all take turns playing against him and are overwhelmed by his strength.

In the next game, it was clear that they would focus on restraining him.

"Even in the Space League, I can avoid being banned because of the premium membership... But after all, probability is probability."

You can avoid being banned multiple times.

But being banned in all 5 games, isn't that all due to the effect of probability?

They had to win when the enemy races didn't know Sung JiHan yet and achieve promotion with superior records.

At that time.

"SeAya~ You did well at the gym today... Huh? Owner, you're back!?"

In the training room inside the penthouse, Lee Ha-yeon and Im Ga-young were surprised to see Sung JiHan.

"Yes. Miss Ha-yeon, do you also exercise here?"

"Yes. I've had some free time lately, so I've been trying to build up my stamina with Ga-young. I'm also in a guild, but it's more comfortable here because there are no people. I've been coming here since a month ago..."

"Really? Why didn't I see you?"

"My uncle is hardly ever home, he's always at the training center."

"Yeah. It's been a while since I've been to the training room."

Sung JiHan nodded.

The training room in the penthouse was nice, but it couldn't compare to the emptiness of the training center.

"Owner, is everything okay? You haven't been here, and I've been bombarded with inquiries from all over the world. They're asking if something happened."

"I didn't realize time was passing while I was training. I'm sorry that I couldn't participate in the game when I saw the results yesterday."

He couldn't talk about the details regarding his stats.

Sung JiHan simply said he was late because of training.

Upon hearing that, Lee Ha-yeon furrowed her brows and spoke in a slightly lowered voice.

"Because of training... Then, how about just saying 'something came up'?"

"What do you mean by 'something came up'?"

"Right now, humanity is feeling a great sense of disappointment due to their first defeat. If you just say it's because of training, I'm worried that you'll receive unnecessary criticism."

"Yeah. If I say it's because of training, the hate comments will increase tenfold."

After humanity's first defeat, there were many cases of people asking where Sung JiHan had gone from all over the world.

Especially from the people of the country that had a bad history with Sung JiHan.

They were criticizing him in the world battle net community, saying that the world's number one player had no sense of responsibility.

But if he were to say that he couldn't participate because of training, it could add fuel to the fire.

However...

"It's okay. It's true that I was late. Let them curse at me."

Sung JiHan didn't care at all.

Especially when Longinus, the Seat of the Holy See, was coming to kill him.

What's the point of caring about what those ignorant people say?

'In the end, it's humanity's loss.'

Thinking that, Sung JiHan asked Lee Ha-yeon.

"How's the guild channel? Are the subscribers increasing?"

"No. Actually, since our guild is a place where we train other guild players, there's not much content. The most interest is in selecting trainees."

"Then I'll make a statement about my absence in the Space League on the guild channel."

"On the guild channel... Are you sure? Maybe it's better to wait a bit after the defeat...?"

"It's okay. I have to participate in the promotion match anyway."

The promotion match that will be held tomorrow.

Once he participates, everyone will know that Sung JiHan has returned.

Making a statement about his absence in the Space League now was the best choice.

"Understood. I'll prepare the setup and give instructions."

Listening quietly from behind, Im Ga-yeong raised her phone and instructed the guild staff to prepare for the broadcast.

"It'll take about 10 minutes for the setup. Should we start the channel...?"

"Yes."

"Okay. Then I'll go down to finish up."

"Owner, I'll be waiting a little longer~"

With that, Lee Ha-yeon and Im Ga-yeong went downstairs.

"I'll go wash up and come back."

"Okay, Uncle."

Even Sung JiHan, who had been in the emptiness of the training center for a long time, went to the bathroom to wash up.

Yoon Se-ah sat on the sofa, waiting for Sung JiHan.

"Did you set up the channel? How long has it been?"

Using my phone, I entered BattleTube and connected to the guild channel.

[Sung JiHan, the owner, has returned!]

With the title displayed like that, a video appeared with "Preparing" written on it.

-What? Is it real?

-For real, he's back?

-Ah, why did he come back today...ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-It can't be a joke, right?

-He must be joking in the waiting guild.

At first, Korean people gathered first and the chat was filled with messages.

-Sung has returned?

-Why did he come back after the game ended?

-Sung JiHan needs to take responsibility. How can he not come back before an important game?

-Due to the irresponsibility of the 1st ranked player, humanity is in crisis!

-Are these crazy people? ㅋㅋㅋ Isn't the problem that they lost to the last place? If you chat, the national flag is displayed. Be careful not to curse Sung JiHan here and miss out on the waiting guild T/O.

-Threatening for a spot, it's beyond despicable!

-Oh, then why don't you make a waiting guild over there? ㅎㅎㅎ

Not even a few minutes passed.

Flags from various countries were displayed in front of the chat IDs.

Heated discussions were going back and forth.

And the number of viewers increased rapidly.

"It's over. It feels refreshing to take a shower after a long time. Sae, do you want to go too?"

"Uh. Uh..."

"You're going?"

"It's over a hundred million?"

"Huh? What?"

Yoon Sae-ah pushed her phone towards Sung JiHan, who was rubbing his head.

"Viewers. We've already surpassed a hundred million! It's crazy!"

"A hundred million? In ten minutes? That's a lot."

Sung JiHan, who had already gained global attention.

Perhaps because he lost the game yesterday due to his absence, people from all over the world were gathering like crazy to listen to him.

And.

[The number of pre-waiting viewers has surpassed 100 million.]

[Special achievement, 'Waiting for You!' has been cleared.]

[Obtained 1,000,000 achievement points as a reward.]

"It's thriving."

Sung JiHan chuckled as he looked at the messages appearing in front of him.

He thought he had cleared almost all of the viewer achievements, but there were still pre-waiting viewers left.

"Let's go."

"Uncle... Let's just go with whatever happened. If it's a hundred million now, won't there be more later? If you say you couldn't come because of training..."

"It's okay."

Despite Yoon Sae-ah's concerns, Sung JiHan reassured her and went down to the guild building.

"It's been a while, everyone."

He revealed himself on the guild channel screen.
