The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2-Chapter 639:
Chapter 639:
[The power of Observation is too weak for accurate observation.]
Seong Jihan chuckled at those words.
Hadn't Observation been significantly strengthened after failing to enhance the 'Manifestation' power?
Yet it still couldn't observe properly.
'Was the Blue stat such an unusual ability?'
As he was thinking this.
[Comparing to similar abilities...]
[Shows over 70% similarity with the 'Nullification' power of the President of Humanity.]
'...President of Humanity?'
A completely unexpected title popped up.
'The title of President must refer to the supreme leader... Then, is he the one who turned the new humanity into the Transcendent?'
Even though the solar resources were depleting.
Despite there still being time until complete depletion, the leadership that proceeded with the 'Transcendent' fusion regardless of the new humanity members' wishes.
And weren't they the ones who wrote their names in Yggdrasil's registry, intending to be revived first after the Transcendent's formation?
To think that the power possessed by the supreme leader among that leadership showed over 70% similarity with the Blue stat... ƒreewebɳovel.com
'Something feels off.'
Seong Jihan's eyes darkened deeply.
70% similarity was actually an ambiguous figure, but.
He had to consider that the current Blue was an ability combined with Martial Soul.
'If we only consider the ability Ashoka passed on to me before... The similarity might be even higher.'
The power of Nullification.
Just hearing the name certainly evoked the abilities Blue had shown.
'Could there possibly be some connection between Ashoka and the President...?'
Considering Ashoka's sacrifice for humanity, it seemed unlikely he'd have any connection to the new humanity's President.
But now that it's been revealed that even Dongbang Sak was a being from the 2000-range servers.
He had to consider all possibilities.
However.
'There are just too few clues...'
It was the first time he'd even heard that the leader of the new humanity government was called 'President'.
How could he figure out if he had any connection to Ashoka in this situation?
As Seong Jihan was pondering this.
[More accurate comparison is possible if you upload the current data to Ark.]
A voice in his mind suggested uploading for more information.
'Uploading doesn't seem right. I should look into information about the President when I re-enter Ark...'
Passing information about the Blue stat to Ark felt very uncomfortable.
Seong Jihan decided to look into the President with 'Nullification' later and withdrew the Blue energy.
Swish...
As the power was being stored back in his body.
"Oh, Uncle. What are you doing there?"
"Ah. I just had something to check..."
"Huh? But... Why is your face glowing so much?"
Yoon Seah, who had come out of her room, was startled when she saw Seong Jihan.
And for good reason.
Seong Jihan's eyes, neck, and even his right hand were currently glowing with light.
"Didn't it emit a little light before too?"
"Before? It was so faint then I thought I might be imagining it... But this time the light is so much stronger?"
"Is that so?"
Seong Jihan checked his appearance in the mirror again.
He hadn't noticed it much when he was only observing the Blue stat with Observation.
But looking again now, his appearance had clearly departed from the human category.
Especially his right eye, which was actively using Observation.
It was glowing like a fluorescent light, to the point where it would be dazzling for others to look at.
'It seems the light has gotten stronger after absorbing the artificial organs and the White Light stat increasing significantly.'
If Urd saw him in this state, she'd immediately realize he'd been to Ark.
Seong Jihan felt the need to hide this light.
'I'll have to block it completely with Blue, like in Ark.'
Swish...
He immediately began testing.
Blue energy replaced the light in both eyes, neck, and hand.
The white light was certainly blocked, but.
"Uncle... Wouldn't it be better to spread that blue energy all over your body?"
"Why?"
"It looks kind of strange with just the eyes and neck."
"Hmm..."
As Yoon Seah pointed out.
With only the eyes and neck flickering with blue energy, it did look quite strange.
And it could give the impression that he was only covering those specific areas.
'If I'm going to do it, I should cover the whole body.'
Seong Jihan spread the energy throughout his entire body.
The light was blocked by the blue energy in all other areas, but.
"I can still see a little light from your right eye."
"Really?"
The right eye, which was activating Observation, was emitting light through the Blue.
He'd need to concentrate more Blue there to block this light.
Swish...
"How about now?"
Seong Jihan asked, with Blue energy concentrated in his right eye.
"Yeah. Now I can't see it."
Yoon Seah confirmed that no more light was leaking out.
'Hmm. The current Blue is sufficient to cover it, but if White Light gets stronger, the blockage might be broken.'
Of course, it was because he spread Blue throughout his body right now.
If he just blocked the areas where light manifested, like in Ark, it would probably be fine even if White Light got much stronger here.
'Still, I've learned that Blue's blocking ability isn't omnipotent.'
White Light suddenly rose to 1450 during this re-entry to Ark.
It was manageable now, but White Light might suddenly increase at any time.
He needed to raise Blue whenever possible steadily.
'For that...'
The only meant to raise Blue right now was, as expected, leveling up.
As Seong Jihan walked to the kitchen.
"Uncle. Are you going to make that again?"
Yoon Seah followed closely behind him.
"Yeah. Because of this light in my eyes, I have more reason to level up now."
"Ah... But why is it suddenly glowing so much? It was fine until yesterday."
Seong Jihan smiled bitterly at Yoon Seah's question.
To explain this truthfully, he'd have to start with explaining about becoming a light being.
'There's no need to tell her that much.'
She didn't need to know that the world she was living in was actually a world simulated by the new humanity.
"Um... I'll tell you when all the problems are solved. It's not sorted out yet."
"Okay! I was just curious. You don't have to answer later if you don't want to."
Yoon Seah nodded, indicating it was fine.
Seong Jihan looked at her intently.
Come to think of it.
When he pressed 'Update Server Change Data' in Yggdrasil.
[Modified Gift, Fusion Vessel has been added in Server 4212.]
[Data on the Gift Fusion Vessel is incomplete. Update is not possible.]
Not only Seong Jihan's Blue stat.
Yoon Seah's Fusion Vessel was also listed as one of the major changes.
'I should take a look at Seah's Fusion Vessel with Observation too.'
Who knew.
Like with the Blue stat, it might match with an unexpected counterpart.
"Seah. Let me take a look at your Fusion Vessel."
"Ah. Okay."
At those words, Yoon Seah was about to roll up her clothes, but.
"You don't need to do that. I can see it all."
Flash...!
As he said this, Seong Jihan's right eye glowed white.
[Observing Gift 'Fusion Vessel'...]
[The power of Observation is too weak for accurate observation.]
[Comparing to similar abilities...]
[No similar abilities exist.]
Unlike the Blue stat.
This time, the answer came back that there were no similar data.
'Hmm... So the Fusion Vessel isn't related to the President or other new humanity abilities.'
The Fusion Vessel, created by mixing Blue stat and Void.
He had left it alone to observe as it kept regenerating when he tried to destroy it.
He hadn't expected there to be no similar abilities at all.
Does that mean the Fusion Vessel is that unique of a gift?
Flash...!
Even after hearing the response, Seong Jihan continued to use his power to observe the Fusion Vessel, but.
[The power of Observation is too weak to understand the structure.]
The voice saying the power of Observation was insufficient was heard again.
Even after being strengthened so much, it was still not enough?
'Hmm. I shouldn't think it's completely useless even if Observation gets strengthened in the future.'
Observation, Tower Manifestation, and Time Reversal.
There was not much to regret now among these three abilities, whichever got strengthened.
No, rather.
'Can I observe inside Ark now?'
[The power of Observation is too weak to observe inside Ark.]
To watch inside Ark and gauge when to re-enter.
It was essential for the power of Observation to be strengthened.
For that.
'I need to grow White Light to enhance the power.'
In Ark, White Light had stopped growing at 1500.
However, Seong Jihan felt that after obtaining the new power 'Time Reversal', the growth limit had increased.
Now, he might be able to raise it to 2000 or more.
'Well, if I just absorb the light from artificial organs in Ark, reaching 2000 would be quick...'
But the Infinite Sword might still be roaming inside Ark.
He shouldn't rashly enter before being able to observe Ark with the power of Observation.
'Until I can look inside Ark, I should gain White Light here for now.'
He couldn't gain 1000 White Light at once like in Ark.
But he could steadily acquire small amounts of White Light here too.
"I should level up when I have time."
Although he heard that the Blue stat might be related to the President's 'Nullification'.
Still, for now, there's nothing better than this ability, so he needs to keep upgrading it.
"Level up... You mean drinking that?"
"Yeah..."
Seong Jihan sighed softly as he looked at the large pot filled with Void EXP potion.
He didn't think about the consequences when making the recipe with the server management device.
'I'll try drinking it first, and if I get sick of it, I'll have to make a new potion.'
Having made that decision.
Swish.
He picked up the entire pot.
* * *
Two weeks later.
"You still haven't found him?"
[Yes. Yes. We're doing our best to search but...]
"With the entire Void mobilized, you still can't find him..."
[W-we really are doing our best!]
Urd frowned at the starfish-like 'Messenger' floating beside her.
She thought they'd find the White Administrator quickly if they mobilized the Void forces.
This delay was unexpected.
And somehow.
'It feels like there's even less trace than when we chased him before.'
Until recently, she thought they were close to finding him by tracking the 'traces of light' that the White Administrator would naturally emit.
But since mobilizing the Void, even those traces of light had disappeared.
It was like searching the universe blindly without any clues - how could they find him?
Urd, realizing how things had gotten complicated after cooperating with the Void.
Glared at the Messenger.
"You. You're not siding with Id, are you?"
[How dare we... Even the Black Administrator is personally searching, putting everything else aside!]
"I wonder? If you searched so diligently, you should have found him by now."
[We really are doing our best. Not finding the White Administrator is entirely due to our incompetence...]
So they were saying they couldn't find him because of incompetence.
But please acknowledge that they were doing their best?
As Urd was considering tearing the Messenger's body to shreds.
Beep. Beep.
On her BattleTube.
An alert arrived saying that the Blue Administrator, 'Seong Jihan', was about to start broadcasting.
'Hmm... I was planning to retrieve the server management device and reclaim his abilities.'
But with the White Administrator hiding without leaving a trace.
Maybe she should change the order of things for a moment.
'I wonder if he's grown enough for me to use my powers now.'
Last time in the Tower of Martial Gods.
Seong Jihan was too weak for her to display the light clock.
'If his growth is as slow as before, should I help him level up?'
If Seong Jihan hadn't grown until now.
She could sacrifice myself a bit to help him level up.
Urd smiled and said to the Messenger.
"You continue the search. I'm going to refresh myself a bit."
[R-refresh yourself...?]
"Yes. I'm going to Earth for a while. I have something I'm raising there."
As she opened a portal.
[To Earth... Understood. I will relay that.]
The Messenger repeated her destination with a meaningful voice.
