The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 178

"Escape? Why?"

[Sung JiHan replied, "Because of the wandering god."]

The blue lion in the electric wall furrowed its brow.

[He is targeting me, us.]

"The god?"

Sung JiHan feigned surprise, but deep down, he had predicted that the wandering god would eventually target the brain god.

'Among the three divine powers that appeared in the future, the Thunder God's power was similar to that of the brain god.'

The Thunder God's power encompassed all forms of martial arts, and its foundation was the power possessed by the brain gods.

It was speculated that around this time, the brain gods were suppressed and the wandering god created the Thunder God's power.

[Yes. The Holy See, who has never been defeated, the monster that grows stronger by devouring the Holy See. He is leading his own constellation and flying towards the Divine Throne... He says he will destroy the Divine Throne and examine it.]

Sung JiHan looked at the Divine Throne beyond the electric wall, puzzled.

He wondered what was in that massive chair that he needed to examine.

But ultimately, judging from what he heard, the god's goal was not the brain god, but the Divine Throne itself.

"If his goal is the Divine Throne and he can't win, why not just retreat?"

[I am the representative of the brain god, but I cannot completely defy the will of the 77,000 brain gods. And the brain gods have ruled as one of the most powerful gods in their own worlds. It is unimaginable for them to flee from challengers.]

The brain gods who ruled as kings in many myths.

To them, challengers were beings that they naturally had to trample and defeat.

Running away from enemies and abandoning the throne was not allowed by the brain gods' pride.

So most brain gods willingly chose to fight against the wandering gods.

"You're also a brain god, aren't you? You thought of retreating so easily."

[I... I have seen the power of the gods from beyond the universe.]

The voice of the brain god was majestic, but when it came to talking about the gods.

The sound was trembling slightly.

[The pattern that absorbs the soul you used a while ago. Even with a small size, it significantly damaged the soul barrier....]

Is it talking about the Manguibongsin?

When Sung JiHan nodded, the blue lion shook its head.

[The Manguibongsin was used on the entire planet.]

"What?"

[That pattern completely covered one planet...! No one could escape from there. Even the owner of the star, the Seongjwa, was not an exception.]

'So the Manguibongsin is that powerful....'

I expected it to be strong.

So people might say that the Seongjwa hunting the Seongjwa.

But to lay down the Manguibongsin on the entire planet.

Sung JiHan, who had personally used it, could understand how absurd it was.

'Even when I used it as a skill in my previous life, the range was only a few meters....'

Of course, now that I have a soul, I can expand the range much more if I continue to grow.

But still, laying down the Manguibongsin on the entire planet?

It was an unimaginable thing.

[He is... an unstoppable calamitous existence. I tried to persuade the other Naejins as much as possible, but they didn't listen. They even said that if I keep saying such things, they will drag me down from the representative position.]

"So you're planning to escape."

[Yes. I can't just die like this...! Right now, my body is bound as a part of the Naejin. I have to switch to a new 'concept'. Only then can I be separated from there.]

"If it's a new concept...."

[I saw hope in the red brainwave you used... It has the properties of a brainwave, but it is clearly a distinct power. Because two powers that cannot be mixed were mixed, it is a power that is not bound by the concept of the Naejin. I need that.]

Was the Red Thunder that powerful?

It was just a combination of the fire power of the phoenix and the heavenly thunder god.

Sung JiHan couldn't easily understand why the representative of the Naejin would highly evaluate the Red Thunder.

"Well, they say they'll charge a high price over there, but there's no need to refuse."

He decided to get as much as possible from the blue lion who had revealed all his cards.

"Then I'll do most things for you."

"Great! What do you need? Just tell me! I am the representative of the Brain God. I can give you everything you need!"

The Brain God who believed he could give anything.

However.

"Can you eliminate the Battle Net on Earth? I want to go back to the old world."

"Eliminate the Battle Net... That's impossible. Even a god couldn't do that."

"I guess that's too much. Can you enhance my abilities? Being a Soulless is a special ability, after all."

"That, that's also impossible. Enhancing a special ability... How can I do that?"

"Then what can you do?"

When Sung JiHan looked at the Brain God with an unsatisfied look, he argued as if he was unjustly accused.

"You're asking for something too unreasonable from the start...! Infinite GP, SSS-grade skills, SSS-grade gifts...! Don't you need these?"

"Well... SSS is not that great, EX-grade would be fine."

At the moment, the completion of the Nameless Divine Art was important.

It didn't seem like adding one or two more SSS grades here would make a big difference.

Rather, he should give him something higher, like EX, and think that he had gained some income.

"EX, huh..."

And at Sung JiHan's words, the Brain God fell into deep thought.

"That might be possible..."

"Really?"

"Yes. However, I can't give it to you right away. If it's EX-grade, even I need some preparation."

While saying that, the Brain God requested a contract.

"The Head of the Brain God requests a contract."

"The Head of the Brain God will provide the player, Sung JiHan, with EX-grade gifts or skills."

"In return, the player, Sung JiHan, will pass on the concept of the 'Completed Red Brain Wave' to the Head of the Brain God."

"Will you accept this contract?"

* Caution - This is a divine contract. Powerful divine punishment will be imposed if the promise is broken.

The Brain God first provides EX-grade gifts or skills, and Sung JiHan later hands over the concept.

"It's not a bad deal if I can get EX-grade."

Sung JiHan made a contract with the Head of the Brain God.

"Alright... Then let me know as soon as the preparations are done. So hurry up and complete the Red Brain Wave."

When the contract was concluded, the Head of the Brain God let out a sigh of relief.

"Do your best. Although time is running out."

"That's right... I don't know when the Divine Beings will attack. Ah, right. I will prepare a training ground for you here. Time will flow slowly in the special dungeon training room."

It seems urgent over there.

The Brain God, who provided various conveniences in addition to the originally promised rewards to complete the Red Brain Wave, even took care of Sung JiHan's party members.

"Oh, and those trash you brought... They need to level up, right? Keep summoning them. It seems like your team members were wiped out this time, so come prepared next time."

"Oh, they were wiped out?"

"Yes."

Even if they were called the flaws of the gods, it seems that the Pleiades were still no match for Sung JiHan.

Sung JiHan nodded.

"Then send me to the training ground. Let's start right away."

"You have a good mindset. Just wait a moment."

After waiting for about 10 minutes like that.

Boooooom...!

A blue portal appeared in front of Sung JiHan.

"Inside there, 10 days will be equivalent to 1 day in reality."

It's amazing that you can train for 10 days in one day.

Sung JiHan asked with shining eyes.

"It's a shame that it's only once a week. Can't we go to a more special dungeon?"

[That's impossible because it's in the realm of Battle.net. It's already quite challenging.]

"I understand."

At first, Sung JiHan seemed like an all-powerful god, but it seems like there are things he can't do.

While thinking that, Sung JiHan entered the portal.

* * *

One day later.

Sung JiHan, who returned home, asked Yoon SeA, who was in the living room.

"SeA, how many days has it been since I entered?"

"It's been one day."

"I see."

The training room of the Brain God is really effective.

Among the rewards Sung JiHan obtained from the special dungeon, he thought that the training room might be the most valuable.

"Is it comparable to fighting Zeus' flaw?"

"Well... it was tough. Fortunately, since it was a special dungeon, I didn't lose levels when I died..."

Yoon SeA shook her head with a tired expression.

"I've been relying on the tent too much lately, it feels like I've received proper education."

"The Brain God said he will summon us again next time. What do you think? Do you want to challenge it again?"

"Oh, really? Yes, yes. I have to get revenge!"

When Yoon SeA heard that another challenge was possible, her eyes lit up.

She hadn't died in the game for a while, but dying like this seemed to ignite her competitive spirit.

"But this time, since I couldn't level up, it might be a bit difficult to participate in the Chaos Battlefield..."

"No, it's okay. Choosing the 20 people is entirely up to me. Your spot is secured."

Yoon SeA, who had just been promoted to Platinum, was still at a very low level compared to other Platinums close to level 200.

If she were to be chosen, it was almost certain that people would criticize the selection.

But...

"Even if it's not SeA, if someone else achieved such results, they should be chosen."

The current talent of Platinum players on Earth...

Compared to Diana, it was at a mediocre level.

Those with SSS-grade gifts had already reached Diamond, and even finding SS-grade players was difficult.

Compared to Diana's Gold, the talent pool was in a pretty bad state.

"The 20 people I have the authority to select will be the promising future pillars."

And Yoon SeA perfectly fit that criteria.

"For now, I'll include you, Masid, and Sofia, and give opportunities to other promising players."

"Oh, really? Who?"

"People you also know."

Sung JiHan went down to the guild and informed the people he had in mind to Lee HaYeon.

After receiving the list, Lee HaYeon's eyes widened.

"You're going to choose from these people..."

"Yes."

Sung JiHan's list consisted of a total of 30 people.

Some of them were members of the waiting guild, while others were not.

After carefully examining the list, Lee HaYeon spoke.

"Participating in the Chaos Battlefield is a tremendous opportunity... It's just a waste to simply choose them..."

"Then, will you accept donations?"

"Oh, I see. Should I handle it myself?"

Instead of receiving a separate GP for selecting players.

It was good to say "handle it yourself" for others to see.

In response to Sung JiHan's words, Lee Ha-yeon nodded and separated the players on the list into those belonging to the waiting guild and those who did not.

"Should I start contacting our guild members first? I think there should still be guild merits."

"Sounds good."

"Yes! I'll contact them right away."

Lee Ha-yeon contacted the waiting guild players in that order.

This news quickly spread throughout the industry.

* * *

"Damn it... hiding like a coward...!"

Baron, who lost to Yoon Se-ah in the promotion match this time.

He fell into complete despair, drowning himself in alcohol after losing not only to his uncle but also to his niece.

"SHIT!"

Crash!

Continuing to watch the promotion match, he saw Yoon Se-ah hiding behind the curtain and smashed a bottle of alcohol.

Buzz...

When his phone vibrated, he answered the call with a blurry face.

"Baron. There's a call from the waiting guild."

"Why are they calling? Haha... Are they trying to drive me away? To restrain me?"

"No. Sung JiHan wants to know if you're going to participate in the Chaos Battlefield."

"...What? Me?"

Baron opened his eyes wide in surprise.

The Chaos Battlefield.

Although he wanted to participate because it gave 7 stat points, he didn't have any expectations because he had trouble with Sung JiHan before.

"...Is it really true? He's not trying to make fun of me?"

"...No, he's not. If you're not interested, he'll move on to the next person. Are you not going to do it?"

"I, I will! I'll do it!"

Stat +7.

There wasn't a player who wasn't interested in that.

And...

"What... Baron received a call? The one who was complaining to Sung JiHan?"

"Yes, Baron has already become a star. 'Sung, I'll acknowledge it this time'... that's what he said."

"Hmm, he's even receiving calls..."

The Heavenly Horse of China.

Wang Lin clenched his teeth when he heard the news that Baron participated in the Chaos Battlefield.

"Why can't I...?"

"I'll mainly contact the waiting guild members..."

"Oh, I see..."

When Korea and China clashed, Wang Lin left the guild.

He had a better relationship with Sung JiHan than Baron, but he wasn't a member of the waiting guild.

He didn't receive a call this time.

"Well... what can I do? Should I rejoin the guild...?"

"I... I'll talk to the higher-ups."

"Stat 7, 7. This is a really important issue!"

So, since the time he left the guild, things haven't been going well...!

Wang Lin became anxious.
