The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2-Chapter 624:

Seong Jihan summoned the rankers from the scoreboard in reverse order to grant Red, starting from 100th place.

Among them, the 1st place was the Black Administrator.

Seong Jihan looked at the purple helmet with bewildered eyes.

'No way... Someone of the Black Administrator's caliber took 1st place?'

The 1st place record clearly exceeded 1 trillion views, and over 5 million video uploads.

Are you saying a constant administrator did this?

'Did he make his underlings do it... Whatever the case, this is surprising.'

It didn't seem like he came here just to receive the Red stat.

As Seong Jihan was looking at the massive helmet,

"Is that 1st place?"

"What race is that? He's hiding his form, right?"

"Judging by the aura, he seems void-related..."

The players summoned to receive the Red stat from him were trying to figure out their opponent, whose form was hidden behind purple smoke.

'It seems other players can't see that helmet.'

And it seemed to apply the same way to viewers.

-I wanted to see what the 1st place guy was like...

-Cowardly hiding their appearance. lol

-Shouldn't the award be canceled if they do that?

-For real, what are they ashamed of to hide their appearance?

-Well, they must have done some serious manipulation...

-But aren't all those summoned there kind of like manipulators? lol

They were criticizing the 1st place for hiding his face out of shame.

It seemed only Seong Jihan recognized the opponent as the Black Administrator.

Meanwhile,

"Um, so..."

"Blue Administrator. How can we receive the ability..."

The summoned players were looking at Seong Jihan with mixed anxiety and expectation.

Most were powerful enough to reach Constellation level and much larger than Seong Jihan,

But perhaps due to the hellfire map environment and being summoned before an official administrator, they were all extremely cautious in their attitude.

'Hey. Keep giving it out for a bit. Let me talk with the Black Administrator.'

[Understood.]

Swish...

The Blue slightly receded from the summoned Blue and Red.

Whoosh...!

As the flames in the map rose and enveloped each player,

"Oh, ooh...!"

"The Red stat, it's appeared..."

"Mobilizing the kids was worth it!"

They were jumping for joy after confirming their stats had increased.

-Wow, he's really giving it?

-Of course he's really giving it; Did you think an administrator wouldn't keep their promise?

-Well, BattleNet has scammed us more than once...

-Okay, the vanguard has verified it, so I'll make the top 100 next week.

-Now that it's confirmed he gives the ability, the competition will get fiercer.

-I knew this would happen, so I deliberately saved up videos without uploading. Now it begins...

As viewers were gearing up for next week after seeing the players receive the ability,

Seong Jihan was looking at the purple message window appearing above the Black Administrator's helmet.

[Server Administrator. Quickly retrieve the void control authority.]

The other party mentioned the void control authority again, which he had messaged about before.

Seong Jihan slightly furrowed his brow at this.

The scene he saw through the divine eye was also concerning.

'I can't even open the server management device due to insufficient White Light in the first place.'

Did he think he didn't want to manage it?

He couldn't open it because he didn't know how much White Light it would take just to open the management device.

Thinking this, he sent a thought to the Black Administrator.

'Isn't it too early?'

However,

[If you do not retrieve the void control authority, you must accept isolate 'Urd's' request for cooperation.]

'Request for cooperation?'

[Isolate 'Urd' has requested cooperation in searching for the White Administrator.]

Seong Jihan frowned at the Black Administrator's answer.

Did she use the void control authority because she couldn't find him alone?

'Don't tell me you accepted that proposal? Weren't you maintaining neutrality?'

[The void must follow the one with void control authority. The void has already detected the White Administrator's location, so if the Server Administrator doesn't retrieve the authority, he will soon be captured.]

'Hmm...'

If the White Administrator had already been captured, they would have discovered he didn't have the server management device.

Seong Jihan's eyes darkened.

'Should I retrieve this authority...?'

He recalled the vision shown by the divine eye.

Urd's main body realized something was wrong with Server 4212, when her avatar was completely annihilated.

If Urd doesn't face a life-threatening crisis even if they take the void control authority from here,

It seemed he might be able to get through this somehow.

'Hmm... But both options have risks.'

As Seong Jihan was thinking this, he suddenly became curious about the Black Administrator's intentions.

If Urd, who has the void control authority, ordered it, they could just follow.

Why come here and tell him to take the authority?

'But why are you helping me?'

[Because you are the Server Administrator. The void follows the Server Administrator.]

'That doesn't seem right, you helped before too. You even taught me how to become a light clan member.'

[As you don't have void control authority, I won't answer.]

This guy.

He said he followed the Server Administrator but dodged this question, saying he doesn't have control authority.

'I can't transfer the void control authority right now. Buy me some time.'

[Is your light power insufficient?]

Sharp, aren't you?

As Seong Jihan nodded slightly,

Flash...!

Pure white light flashed from inside the helmet, and a white glove appeared in the air.

'This is...'

[Equip it on your hand. You can absorb light power faster.]

Whoosh!

The white glove flew towards him as soon as those words ended.

As Seong Jihan unconsciously reached out his hand,

Swish...

The glove stuck to his hand, then was completely absorbed into his skin.

Then,

[You have received a skin graft from the 'New Humanity'.]

[Stat 'White Light' increases by 50.]

[White Light absorption efficiency increases.]

Messages appeared before his eyes.

'New Humanity... I guess that refers to those in Ark.'

Seeing this, Seong Jihan recalled what Id said in Ark.

-Once you replace your internal organs and complete the evolution process, you too can become a true light clan member, free from being a newcomer.

He had proudly shown off his glowing internal organs then.

Was this skin grafted onto his right hand of the same type?

'If just changing hand skin gives 50, changing organs would increase White Light considerably.'

Maybe he should visit the infirmary later.

As Seong Jihan was thinking this,

[I will postpone Urd's request for 24 hours. Retrieve the authority during that time.]

Swish...

With that final message, the Black Administrator's form disappeared.

As he vanished, the Red Administrator spoke.

[Is it over? I was buying time by giving one more stat.]

Seong Jihan looked around at those words.

"Wow... Giving another Red stat in the first week...!"

"Thank you. Thank you!"

"Taking the risk to challenge was worth it!!!"

As Seong Jihan's conversation with the Black Administrator dragged on,

The Red Administrator had given out one more Red stat to each player to divert attention and buy time.

-Ah, I should have challenged in the first week...

-The Blue Administrator isn't one to cheat, I shouldn't have sent the vanguard first...

-What a shame, each stat is so valuable;

-But if the Blue Administrator gives out stats like this, what's left for him?

-Exactly. lol

The effect was excellent, with both summoned players and viewers all focused on the additional reward.

"Well then, let's all return now."

Clap. Clap.

As Seong Jihan clapped his hands,

Flash!

The summoned players began to be reverse-summoned all at once.

"Then I'll see you next week. Everyone."

Seong Jihan was about to end the broadcast while looking at the chat window.

'The reaction to giving one more stat is good.'

Seeing comments in the chat about regretting missing the first week,

He added one more thing.

"Ah, and if you break the first week's record on the second week's scoreboard, I'll give a bonus like today."

-Oh?

-Breaking the record means +2 stats?

-This... I need to mobilize everyone?

-Everyone will go all out this time, there probably won't be a bonus in the third week.

-I'll leave breaking the record to first place and just aim for top 100. lol

The viewers' atmosphere started heating up at Seong Jihan saying he'd give more stats.

'Well, let's see how much White Light comes in.'

Seong Jihan looked around as he turned off BattleTube.

"I'll use this place every week, so I'll leave it as is."

[Then, has a space for me been created in the Tower?] freewēbnoveℓ.com

"Well, I guess so."

This hell of fire was created by modifying one of the Tower's floors.

Since he would need to distribute the Red stat every week, he might as well leave this place.

'Anyway...'

Seong Jihan looked at the message window that had been floating to one side, ever since he received the glove from the Black Administrator.

It said,

[Stat 'White Light' reaches 200.]

[You can expand your light authority one more level.]

A message saying he could expand his light authority had appeared.

* * *

'Now that I've sent all the players back, I should properly gain the authority.'

He needed to gain one more light authority today and handle the server management device too.

There wasn't much time to spare.

As soon as Seong Jihan confirmed no players were left in this hell of fire, he immediately proceeded with the authority expansion.

Then,

Zing...

[Loading list of expandable authorities...]

The pure white background message window disappeared then reappeared.

['Device Proficiency' - 100% success rate]

['Protection' - 71% success rate]

['Observation' - 55% success rate]

['Time Reversal' - 42% success rate]

Four options appeared before Seong Jihan's eyes.

'Except for Device Proficiency, the other three are authorities possessed by light clan members I've encountered...'

Id with the protection authority, the light clan member using the divine eye and even Urd's time reversal.

Perhaps because he had experienced their authorities a lot, it seemed he could learn these too.

However,

'The success rates aren't very good.'

Especially the chance to gain Urd's time reversal was 42%, quite a low percentage for gambling.

'Protection has a high success rate... but I'm not sure if I really need to master it.'

The observation authority also seemed somewhat ambiguous to aim for.

In this case, Device Proficiency seems the most certain to obtain.

'Somehow I feel like if I master this authority, I'll be able to operate the server management device too...'

Whether it was because he possessed the server management device, or because of the New Humanity skin received from the Black Administrator, he wasn't sure why it had a 100% success rate.

'Since I need to operate the server management device today, it's better to choose this.'

Seong Jihan chose Device Proficiency among the four options.

Then,

Flash...!

Light gathered in his body.

[You have gained the light authority 'Device Proficiency'.]

A message saying he gained the authority appeared.

'Well, I don't feel anything particularly different here.'

He'd have to touch the server management device to feel if this was working properly.

Seong Jihan immediately moved to the top floor of the Tower of Martial Gods where he had stored it.

And as he placed his hand on the server management device lying on the ground,

Zing...

['Device Proficiency' activates.]

[Stat 'White Light' is not consumed.]

The server management device turned on immediately without consuming ability points.

'Oh... This is useful.'

It was good he chose this over the other low probability traits.

After opening the server management device, Seong Jihan,

"The void control authority is..."

Tried to solve the most urgent problem first.

And as he spoke those words,

[Calling up void control authority.]

Swish.

The screen reacted according to what he said.

'How convenient.'

So could he just retrieve the void control authority from here?

As Seong Jihan tried to change Urd's name,

Swish...

[Do you want to retrieve the authority given to the target?]

[Through 'Device Proficiency', you can designate the target as an auxiliary authority holder.]

With that message, another column appeared in the void control section.

For primary authority holder and auxiliary authority holder.

'Hooh... Instead of taking it away from Urd immediately. There's also this method.'

This... If used well, he might be able to bait Urd?

Seong Jihan's eyes lit up as he looked at the two divided columns.
