The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2-Chapter 600:

After consuming Void, there was a change in the greed aspect.

Seong Jihan was able to figure out solutions for two of the conditions to become part of the Light Clan.

'White Light will keep accumulating if I keep the BattleTube on while operating the Tower of Martial Gods.'

As for the Void stat corresponding to 'greed', he could always go to outer space and consume it by creating the Taiji Sword.

He had found ways to solve these two conditions, but.

-You are too diligent.

'What am I supposed to do about this?'

He never thought being diligent would hold him back like this in life.

Should he try living like his former useless self before regression?

As Seong Jihan was having such extreme thoughts while looking at that message,

[Didn't they say it's judged based on your stat window? This must be related to your abilities too.]

The Red Administrator drew his attention.

'Well... that's true.'

He looked over the abilities in Seong Jihan's status window.

Blue, Red, Eternity, Void, White Light.

Each was an administrator's ability, all desirable to regular players.

If the quality or quantity of stats was the measure of diligence,

There probably wasn't anyone more diligent than Seong Jihan among current players.

'But I can't give up these abilities now just to become lazy.'

How could he abandon the abilities he had built up until now?

He couldn't give them up just to become part of the Light Clan.

The reason he wanted to become part of the Light Clan in the first place was, to solve the mystery of why humans were the origin of humanoid races, and why the updated version number was the same as humanity's number.

'I can't sacrifice my abilities to solve that curiosity.'

He got rid of Void because it was an ability he could afford to lose.

The rest were too precious to give up.

As Seong Jihan was making this decision,

[You can consume Red and recharge it, can't you?]

"Red?"

[Yes. You have to go to Hell to replenish Red.]

The Red Administrator continued in a low voice.

[I've been thinking about diligence... If the total sum of stats is too high for your level, couldn't it be recognized as 'diligent'?]

"Hmm."

[Or you could deliberately leave some residual points. Not allocating abilities even after leveling up could also be a measure of laziness.]

Seong Jihan's current level was 190.

He had been investing all his residual points into Blue so far, so his Blue stat was 554.

But now, the suggestion was to deliberately not allocate them?

'I guess I'll have to try it.'

Among the administrator abilities, he didn't mind using Void and Red.

So this was worth a try.

'Well, if I'm doing this, I might as well train Blue Flame.'

The Blue Flame, that had burned Urd's body.

This power, which showed even greater might by mixing Blue and Red, had burned the Light Clock but couldn't harm Urd in her Void state.

Still.

'I couldn't refine Blue Flame properly back then.'

He had hastily concentrated power after realizing it was effective against Urd.

At the time, he couldn't efficiently distribute power to Blue Flame.

Now that he would consume Red anyway, he might as well train it properly.

'And I should try burning the Taiji Sword with this Blue Flame.'

The Taiji Sword condensed with the power of Void.

If this could properly ignite with Blue Flame, wouldn't it be possible to deal with some damage to Urd in her Void state?

'Let's do it right away.'

Blue Flame

Blue flames rose from Seong Jihan's hand.

Three weeks later.

Crackle...!

As a portal appeared in the living room, Yoon Seah, who was blinking her eyes, saw Seong Jihan emerge and greeted him with a happy face.

"Uncle...! It's been so long."

"Really? When did we last meet?"

"About 2 weeks ago? You drank a can of soda and went off to train then too. Are you done now?"

"Hmm... For now? I came to change the constellation sponsorship today. Isn't the Space League match coming up soon?"

Yoon Seah nodded at those words.

"In 3 days. The opponent is the Void Faction."

"Void Faction... What's their ranking?"

"2nd place."

"It won't be easy this time either."

A top-tier opponent even in the Gold League.

Even with the warriors Seong Jihan brought, Gilgamesh and Ariel,

It was unreasonable to expect victory against them with humanity's current strength.

Still.

"We should at least show some resistance."

"Yeah... If we get crushed like last time, morale will plummet."

"That's why I will change the constellation sponsorship for Gilgamesh and Ariel this time. Sejin hasn't fully recovered his level yet, right?"

"Right. Dad is running the Tower of Martial Gods while taking short naps... but I guess leveling up has gotten slower as his level increased."

Yoon Sejin was the overwhelmingly strongest human warrior before becoming a male half-elf.

Recovering that state immediately wasn't easy even with the Tower of Martial Gods.

"But uncle, what kind of training are you doing without rest? You're really diligent. Is that how you reached that level?"

At Yoon Seah's praise of diligence, Seong Jihan's face slightly frowned.

"Diligent... I'm doing this to become lazy right now."

"...Huh? What does that mean?"

"I need to be judged as lazy by the system for something."

Needing to be diligent to be judged as lazy?

As Yoon Seah blinked her eyes, unable to understand,

"I'll tell you the details when I become properly lazy."

"Okay... But isn't becoming lazy the easiest thing in the world? Can't you just lie on that sofa and watch TV?"

"If that were how to get the judgment, I would have done it long ago..."

Seong Jihan recalled the past 3 weeks.

Following the Red Administrator's suggestion to try getting a lazy judgment by consuming stats,

He had been running the Tower of Martial Gods and training Blue Flame non-stop for 24 hours.

To remove the diligent label from the Light Clan test device button,

Seong Jihan lived his most diligent life since returning.

However.

-You are too diligent.

Although the "You lack greed" message disappeared as Void dropped below 100 from constantly summoning the Taiji Sword,

That diligent message kept appearing without even removing the 'too' label.

Of course,

For the past 3 weeks, he had lived diligently without sleep, burning Red.

'It's supposed to only look at the stat window. Why isn't there any change?'

Seong Jihan frowned as he looked at his stat window.

Both Void and Red had fallen below 100.

Why did this button keep saying he was diligent?

Was it because the stats were still high?

As Seong Jihan's thoughts became complicated,

[Hmm... In this case, switching to accumulating more residual points might be better. It seems the total amount of stats isn't the criterion for measuring diligence. I'm sorry.]

The Red Administrator inside apologized, saying his idea was wrong.

'No, it's fine. It was a plausible guess, and thanks to it, I trained Blue Flame to my heart's content.'

Although there was no change in the message,

The 3 weeks of training wasn't a waste of time.

The attempt to burn the Void Taiji Sword through Blue Flame helped find some clues.

'It's not enough to subdue Urd's overwhelming power yet... but I can resist.'

If he developed a bit more from here, it seemed he could create a means to subdue that monster.

But while Red could be replenished,

'I'm suddenly running short on Void.'

He had used up all his Void in this training, but now he didn't have enough Void left to create the Taiji Sword.

Of course, he could train Blue Flame without summoning the Taiji Sword, but having something to burn versus not having it made a vast difference in training efficiency.

After finishing his self-check, Seong Jihan asked Yoon Seah:

"First, we need to change the constellation sponsorship... What are Ariel and Gilgamesh doing?"

"Ariel is diligently running BattleNet and the Tower of Martial Gods in her room, but Gilgamesh goes out to play every day. There are already several sightings of him with celebrities at clubs."

"What... Why is that guy?"

"He says he's a mercenary, so he'll play after finishing his daily quota..."

Yoon Seah paused for a moment, then continued carefully.

"Um... And you know what? He openly claims he loves alcohol and women too much. He says he needs at least 3 partners at a time. So he's a real superstar to reporters these days."

"I leave for training for a while, and he's already gotten a taste of the human world."

Seong Jihan sighed softly, thinking of the original Gilgamesh.

Even as a cloned being, why did he follow the original so closely?

"Ah. But... actually, this is very common abroad, right? Top players causing gossip. It's just that our country was uniquely free of it, but in places like America, it's common for top players, regardless of gender, to be involved with multiple partners."

"Well, that's true."

"So, um, no matter what, there's no need to kill him, right...?"

"...? Hey. When did I say I'd kill him?"

"Oh. You're not going to kill him?"

Yoon Seah looked at Seong Jihan as if surprised.

"You used to say you'd kill Gilgamesh all the time before, I thought."

"As long as he doesn't spout nonsense about sowing his seed to all of humanity like the original, why would I interfere with an adult's activities?"

Besides, it takes two to tango.

Gilgamesh was acting out because there were people willing to play along.

With so much to do already, he had no intention of worrying about that guy's playtime.

"But it seems Gilgamesh has set his daily workload on his own. That needs to be adjusted."

"Um... From what I heard, it was 1 game and 1 Tower of Martial Gods per day."

"Tsk. He should run the Tower at least 10 times. His level is too low to slack off like that."

"...Uncle, I think it'll be hard for you ever to become lazy."

Yoon Seah retorted as if disgusted, but Seong Jihan's work allocation was based on the life force Gilgamesh possessed.

If he only ran the Tower once a day, he would have too much energy left over.

He needed to be made to exert himself more.

"I'll talk to him about the workload myself. So... Do you know what Karlein is up to?"

"Ah... He says he's keeping his promise to you and making an undead theme park?"

"Undead theme park...?"

"Yeah. He says he's going to make a leveling spot on Namsan. Says the aura of the dead is perfect for it?"

Namsan used to be full of life energy when the colonial government was there.

Looked like it did a 180-degree turn now.

'This needs more supervision than Gilgamesh chasing women.'

Gilgamesh's actions were just personal indulgence, but the undead theme park Karlein was making could cause great harm to the surroundings depending on his concept.

"Hmm. I guess I should go there first. When's the national team's training camp?"

"This evening."

"Then tell them I'll change the constellation sponsorship there. I'll go supervise the undead theme park Karlein is making first."

"Okay, okay."

After telling Yoon Seah this, Seong Jihan opened a portal to Namsan and moved.

Then,

"Oh, Head! Perfect timing!"

Karlein, who was wandering around where the former Governor-General's Office used to be, waved his hand happily towards him.

"Hey, can I take this mountain when I make a new dead star later?"

"...Namsan?"

"Yeah! This is necromancer's paradise!"

He started getting excited while kneading the ground.

"Wasn't there a World Tree Alliance's world tree here?"

"Yeah. It served as the colonial government. It was quite a high-level world tree."

"Aha. So that's why...? I feel like I can create revolutionary undead here! Hehehe..."

Karlein laughed ominously while digging up soil and eating it.

'He looks even crazier doing that with a normal face.'

As Seong Jihan was watching Karlein's actions from afar,

"Head, Head! If you're not busy, can you help me a little? I'll donate all my undead to the theme park!"

"What are you trying to do?"

When Seong Jihan asked indifferently,

"Let's try making the world tree into an undead!"

Gulp.

He swallowed the soil and his eyes sparkled.
