The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2

Chapter 670:

A world made of pure white light.

Seong Jihan carefully observed his surroundings.

'Is this the inside of the Transcendent Being? There's not much here.'

In the past, just touching that light would have made him lose his mind with the desire to merge with the Transcendent Being.

But since Seong Jihan imbued Nothingness with the power of mixed defiled world...

Ziiing...

A faint dark blue light flowed from his entire body, successfully blocking the light of the Transcendent Being.

'Well, let's walk around a bit.'

Step. Step.

With each step he took...

Swish...

The dark blue energy spread beneath his feet.

It remained uneaten by the Transcendent Being's light, leaving traces of Seong Jihan's footsteps.

After walking for about an hour...

'The light's power clearly intensifies at this boundary.'

Swish...

Seong Jihan's expression hardened as he felt the power of mixed defiled world being suppressed more strongly than before.

He had subdued Mitra more easily than expected, but the Transcendent Being was different after all.

'I'll have to summon the sword directly.'

As he stopped walking and tried to create Nothingness...

Flash...!

A massive cluster of light gathered before his eyes.

A system message appeared in front of Seong Jihan.

[The target has been identified as a new 'Mitra divine race'.]

[Creating a new body for the Mitra divine race.]

And then...

Fwoosh...!

The light spread strongly in front of Seong Jihan's eyes.

Within it, a human figure appeared.

What emerged was...

"...Why are you appearing here again?"

It was Urd, shimmering with light.

Her form, made of pure white light, looked beyond beautiful—almost sacred.

[Will you abandon your existing body and accept a new one?]

When the system message appeared, suggesting he take Urd's form...

Seong Jihan frowned.

"Are you crazy?"

That Mitra bastard.

All that talk about companions and mates and divine races...

Was the mate he was trying to create a female form identical to his own daughter?

'What a disgusting guy, really.'

As Seong Jihan showed genuine disgust...

Swish swish...

The message window that had appeared before his eyes disappeared.

"Why do you reject it so strongly?"

The female form that looked like Urd spoke directly.

"This body is the most suitable for you."

Swish.

As she said this, she had already approached and grabbed Seong Jihan's hand.

Then...

Flash...!

Urd's hand that touched Seong Jihan shone brightly.

'What's this?'

From where their hands touched, sensations began to be shared.

Whoosh.

Seong Jihan quickly pulled his hand away from the female form, but...

Ziiing...

The part of his hand that had touched her was still shimmering, resonating with her.

And then...

"Now. Look."

As she spread her hand...

Ziiing...

A large screen appeared above it.

It soon showed a planet.

'Isn't that... the World Tree Elves' planet?'

As he thought he had seen it before when confronting the World Tree Elves...

"I will immediately realize what you desire."

As she said this and pressed on the planet with her hand...

Fwoosh...

The planet was engulfed in light and began to change in real-time.

'...Is this Earth?'

The World Tree Elves' planet, changed to resemble Earth with just a simple touch closely.

Seong Jihan quickly realized that this change wasn't just happening on the screen.

It was actually occurring.

He knew the Transcendent Being's power was tremendous, but...

To completely transform a planet to be like Earth with just one touch.

'This is on a different scale...'

It wasn't over just because Mitra had disappeared.

Rather, the Transcendent Being was an overwhelmingly powerful opponent.

As Seong Jihan thought this and raised his guard...

"Materializing the data from Server 2101."

Tap. Tap.

As the female form's fingers touched the planet that had changed to resemble Earth...

Light flashed from the planet again and the screen began to zoom in.

And there...

-Huh...? I'm sure I died...

-Your Highness! Are you alright?

The youngest daughter of Jiang Shang, examining her body in confusion.

And her guards approaching her.

The scenery of a planet where buildings were already constructed.

People with memories of dying couldn't believe their resurrection and were bewildered.

-Ah... Could this be the Emperor's doing?

-That's right. He must have succeeded!

They were praising Emperor Jiang Shang.

Seong Jihan, who had been quietly observing this scene, turned his gaze to the female form that looked like Urd.

"...You're saying this is what I wanted?"

"Yes. Didn't you feel indebted to Jiang Shang?"

A sense of debt.

Seong Jihan smiled bitterly at those words.

He remembered when the Red Administrator tried to sow discord...

Jiang Shang directly cut him down and gave up on reviving Server 2101.

Even after that, for 100 years...

Jiang Shang had taught Seong Jihan about Nothingness wholeheartedly, without imposing any conditions.

So, a part of him had always felt sorry.

But to catch that exactly and immediately resurrect them...

'However, I don't feel much...'

The realm of 'creation' that he had been so wary of, fearing he might change like Mitra.

But after holding hands with this female form, not only creating an Earth-like form...

Even after resurrecting all the people from Server 2101, he didn't feel like he had changed particularly.

Was his previous worry perhaps unfounded?

"How is it?"

"I thought I'd feel quite strange using manifestation to create... but it's not much different."

"You already have the qualifications to become a god. Using manifestation won't change you."

As the female form with Urd's appearance asserted this confidently...

Ziiing...

She turned off the screen she had displayed and showed a new planet.

"I will fulfill your next desire."

Tap.

As she touched the screen, the planet began to change to resemble Earth again.

"What are you trying to do this time?"

In response to Seong Jihan's question...

Ziiing...

The screen zoomed in.

And there...

-Se... Seah...!

At a hospital, looking at Yoon Seah's corpse...

The figure of Seong Jihan, fallen into despair, appeared.

"...This is."

"You tried to forget the scene you saw when entering the Prison of Time. But forgetting wasn't easy, and in your heart, a desire to change that past arose."

Swish.

As she said this, the female form pointed at the screen with her finger.

"That planet is the stage to fulfill such a desire of yours. Achieve what you want there to your heart's content."

At those words, Seong Jihan twisted the corner of his mouth.

The world she created was one where Yoon Seah had already died.

But to tell him to achieve what he wants there...?

'I could understand reviving the humanity of Server 2101.'

It was true that he felt sorry towards Jiang Shang, who had silently helped him for 100 years.

When she read that emotion and recreated Jiang Shang's world like that...

Although surprised, Seong Jihan partly thought it was for the best.

'But this is different.'

With Yoon Seah alive and well in the current world...

Why revive a world where she's dead?

Of course, with Seong Jihan's current abilities, he could easily resurrect the dead Yoon Seah, but...

'Then there would be two Seahs in the server, which can't be left like that...'

Seong Jihan looked at the female form with a hardened face.

"Do you really think that's what I wanted?"

"Yes. That's how I read your desire."

"My desire... That's strange."

Swish...

As Seong Jihan said this, he summoned Nothingness.

"What I want most is the complete annihilation of Mitra."

* * *

Nothingness, a sword of semi-transparent form.

The female form with Urd's appearance looked at this and slowly opened her mouth.

"...Mitra has already been annihilated. Therefore, there's no need to fulfill that wish."

"Hmm. Is that so? Then I'll tell you the next wish. Let's annihilate the Mitra divine race."

"The Mitra divine race, you say?"

"Yes. Delete all data related to it. Let's not even have the word 'Mitra' appear here. That's my greatest wish."

The female form, who had been looking at him silently after Seong Jihan's words,

Swish.

Pointed at him with her finger.

"The Mitra divine race includes you too, Seong Jihan."

"Why me?"

"The definition of the Mitra divine race refers to beings who possess 50% or more of Mitra's authority. So you are now the only remaining member of the Mitra divine race in the world."

These guys, they were desperate to include him in the Mitra divine race somehow.

Seong Jihan smiled slightly at those words and replied.

"Then let's eliminate everything except me."

"Why... why do you insist on doing that?"

"Just mentioning Mitra makes me sick. Can you erase it? Right now?"

As Seong Jihan said with a slight smile,

"..."

The female form with Urd's appearance glared at him, then,

"How regrettable that you think that way."

Her tone changed abruptly, and the atmosphere shifted completely.

"You, are you Mitra?"

"I am, and I am not."

"Hmm."

What nonsense was he trying to spout now, with such an answer?

"Enough."

Whoosh!

As Seong Jihan moved the semi-transparent sword, Nothingness,

The form of Urd was instantly split in half.

Then,

Swoosh...

The light female form vanished in an instant.

[Seong Jihan. How was it, handling the power of the Transcendent Being?]

Although Urd's form had disappeared,

Her voice could be heard from all around.

[We recreated heaven and earth in an instant, and resurrected humanity. This all happened when you and I, members of the Mitra divine race, joined hands. If we join hands to use that power...]

Mitra went on and on about how good it would be if they joined hands, but,

"How can I trust someone who tried to transform me into the image of his daughter?"

Seong Jihan already held extreme contempt for Mitra, who had tried to transfer his body into Urd's form.

Rather than work with such a being, he'd rather overturn everything.

[Hmm... Very well. I'll concede. I'll remain in Urd's form. Will that satisfy you?]

"..."

Seong Jihan felt it wasn't even worth responding to those words anymore.

He just,

Whoosh...!

Raised blue flames to their maximum and advanced forward.

As he charged ahead like that,

[Fine.]

[Then is this female form to your liking?]

[If you were imprisoned in the Prison of Time, she must have been a woman you cherished that much.]

[I'll live in this form.]

Mitra revealed himself in Yoon Seah's form, only to be cut in half instantly by Nothingness.

How many of Mitra's illusions had he cut down like this?

[Stop.]

[Don't go any further.]

[If you do, you won't be able to control the Transcendent Being!]

Mitra's voice, which had always been composed, became urgent for the first time.

Seong Jihan smiled wickedly.

"Oh really? Then I must go in."
