The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2

Chapter 642:

Flash!

Urd tried rewinding the clock a few more times after that.

"It's useless."

The light still couldn't penetrate Seong Jihan's blue energy.

Seeing this, Urd's eyes darkened.

"That blue energy... its blocking ability is impressive. To think it could stop my light."

"It's nothing special."

"...To block the power of light like this. Hmm. Is it similar to a 'protection' ability? No, but... Last time I was clearly able to rewind time too."

She had shown bewilderment when her power was blocked by the blue energy earlier.

Urd was staring intently at Seong Jihan.

"Hmm. What is it most similar to...?"

Since it was not the power of 'Observation',

It seems she couldn't find any connection to the 'Nullification' of the President.

"This is troublesome. Should I use the Void after all? But if I'm not careful, he could die..."

Not knowing Seong Jihan had control over the Void, she was first worried about his life.

Then.

"Ah, right. It doesn't matter if he dies here since it's not real death, right? I'll just get ownership of the Tower?"

"So?"

"Hehe. Then it doesn't matter if you die, right?"

Swish...

As the Void quickly tainted Urd's body, a thick purple mist began to fill the top floor of the Tower of Martial Gods.

'She's accumulated quite a lot of Void.'

He had seen it through the screen when she fought Dongbang Sak and Urd, but seeing it directly, he could feel how strong the power she possessed really was.

How much Void had she stored in that small body?

The strongest Void he had seen so far was endlessly pouring out.

However.

'The Tower of Martial Gods is based on the weaker side, so it's clearly weaker than against Dongbang Sak.'

The Tower of Martial Gods had different ability evaluation criteria than the 'Tower' Dongbang Sak was in charge of.

In the Tower, Urd as the challenger could use her full power.

But here, since Seong Jihan with lower stats was the standard, there was a limit to how much Void she could emit.

'This makes it easier to deal with.'

Looking at when Dongbang Sak and Urd fought, she clearly wasn't very precise in handling the power of the Void.

She just unleashed all the infinitely accumulated Void.

So now that her abilities were recalibrated to Seong Jihan's standard, her Void was no longer infinite, so fighting was quite possible.

Of course.

'I can't let her know I have control over the Void, so killing Void Urd will be difficult...'

Urd combined with the Void was theoretically in an invincible state where she couldn't be damaged.

To inflict fatal damage on her, he would have to use the Void control authority to strip away her Void completely.

Or use Dongbang Sak's Infinite Sword.

'Both methods can't be used right now.'

However, besides these two definite methods, Seong Jihan had one more tactic he could use.

'Last time her Void clearly burned in the Blue Flame.'

When Urd had invaded the Tower of Martial Gods before, as she burned in the Blue Flame,

-Blue Administrator. I take back what I said earlier. Even if your stats didn't increase much, you've been steadily growing in your own way.

-Still, I hope you grow your stats more next time.

At first she had been quite relaxed, but when her Void form started burning, she showed a serious expression.

-Oh no. This will disrupt the balance... This won't do. I need to say goodbye quickly.

Then, didn't she burst her own heart?

If it weren't for the 'Admin-42$@12!@' ID that was revealed then, it would have been impossible to enter Ark.

'Right. Let's use the Blue Flame like back then.'

Swish.

Seong Jihan raised Blue and Red and pointed it at his opponent.

On Urd's side, already consumed by the Void, a wave of purple mist was surging towards him.

"Now then, Blue Administrator. Don't die right away. I want to analyze your abilities a bit more."

"The Void seems quite merciless for that."

"I'm not very good at controlling my power. Please endure it on your own~"

As she said this, an enormous amount of Void poured out.

Even when facing Dongbang Sak, she had just crudely spewed out smoke.

This attack also lacked any finesse.

It seems she was not very skilled in combat.

'I guess Urd is similar to you in a way.'

[The Isolates weren't combat personnel to begin with. How could they keep up with war machines like you or Dongbang Sak?]

'I suppose so.'

Since she had lived like an absolute god on the server, she probably didn't have many occasions to fight.

Seong Jihan smiled wryly as he opened Blue and Red.

Infinite Annihilation God

Opening the Blue Gate

Blue Flame

As the blue border disappeared from Blue-Red,

Whoosh!

The Void that had been pouring out like a tidal wave began to burn in blue flames midway.

"That power does all sorts of things, really. Blocking the power of light, and even burning the Void..."

Frowning at the momentum of the Blue Flame, Urd fell into deep thought while counting the powers that Stat Blue had shown.

"Last time when I rewound time, I'm sure I envisioned the wheel using Siddhartha's power... Is the origin of that power purely from Buddha?"

"Who knows? I'd like to know too."

"Hmm... No, nothing like this ever came out before..."

Whoosh!

As the Void rushing towards Seong Jihan burned and the Blue Flame spread even more fiercely, Urd stopped pouring out Void and just stared blankly at the flames.

"Yes... There definitely wasn't. Not even once until now..."

As the blue flames stretched towards Urd, the target herself made no attempt to emit more Void.

She just muttered to herself as if entranced by the blue fire.

At this rate, the Blue Flame would soon consume her body...

'Is she deliberately defenseless to experience it?'

Since dying in the Tower of Martial Gods just meant dying as a challenger, was she planning to analyze Blue by directly experiencing it with her body?

At first Seong Jihan thought this as he watched the motionless Urd, but.

"Ah. What is this... Why is it so strong? When did it get this far?"

Urd, who had been staring at the blue fire with a blank face, finally came to her senses when the flames approached close.

"Hmm... This won't do. Let me take another look."

Flash!

As the light clock appeared behind Urd's back,

She quickly moved her hand behind her.

"Time reversal may not work on you... but I can use it on this 'space'."

So she was going to rewind the time of this top floor?

'I have a bad feeling about this.'

Seong Jihan felt an inexplicable unease at her attempt and put more power into the Blue Flame.

Then, even as the clock hands turned backwards, the Blue Flame continued to burn, unaffected.

The Void that had been burning reappeared as the time of the top floor was rewound,

But since the blue flames were already fierce, they began to touch Urd's body.

"What? Why even the fire..."

Whoosh!

As the Blue Flame quickly consumed her body, Urd's expression twisted as she looked at her burning form.

Not only Seong Jihan, but even the Blue Flame resisted the time reversal.

What on earth was this?

"...This really doesn't make sense. Your power. Where did it suddenly come from..."

Sizzle...

Urd engulfed in Blue Flame with even her Void body burning.

'This... was easier than expected.'

He knew the Blue Flame would work from last time, but he didn't expect her to be this vulnerable to the blue fire.

Looking at the opponent who was subdued without even using the Void control authority,

Seong Jihan spoke,

"So, are you not going to commit suicide like last time?"

Seong Jihan said this meaning she should just level him up and leave rather than burn more here.

But,

"...If I go back like this, I'll gain too little, won't I?"

Urd, covered in Blue Flame, forcefully pushed the hands of the light clock in that state.

Then,

Whoosh. Whoosh...

The clock hands spun backwards several times in an instant.

At the same time, the scenery of the top floor began to rapidly change.

* * *

"...What are you doing?"

"Dying is dying, but I should at least get some information about you before that."

As soon as those words ended,

Swish...

Near where Seong Jihan was, a translucent form of Seong Jihan appeared.

-She’s here already? I wish you luck.

And soon Dongbang Sak's voice was heard.

Seong Jihan's expression hardened upon hearing the voice.

'This is... from earlier, isn't it?'

Before entering battle with Urd, wasn't this the communication scene where Dongbang Sak was giving Seong Jihan points to be careful of and encouraging him?

For this to be replayed...

'Don't tell me. Using time reversal on the space... can even do this?'

Even if time reversal didn't work on Seong Jihan with Stat Blue or the Blue Flame, could Urd's power be applied in this way to the top floor of the Tower of Martial Gods?

But if so, could it possibly go back to scenes before this...?

'That would be bad.'

Seong Jihan hurriedly tried to stop this, but the clock hands had already turned back.

Zing...

The translucent form of Seong Jihan that appeared

Perfectly replayed in reverse what he had done here.

-Where is Urd now?

The scene of him asking the Red Administrator about Urd's whereabouts appeared.

And further back,

-Urd will go crazy when she sees this.

Thud.

The scene of the 'server management device' lying on the floor of the top floor of the Tower of Martial Gods merging with Seong Jihan appeared.

"..."

Urd's face hardened.

"...I didn't expect this."

The composure she had shown until now completely disappeared, replaced by an icy aura.

"No wonder... I couldn't find it... even using the Void."

She muttered this, then

Stab!

She quickly brought her hand to her own chest.

Now that she knew the server management device was in Seong Jihan's hands, Urd realized she had been played and attempted suicide.

Even if dying here was just a 'death in the Tower of Martial Gods',

'...Now that Urd knows the truth, she'll commit suicide as soon as she gets out.'

Seong Jihan instinctively realized that she would choose death once outside.

Then the Ark main body, seeing its avatar die, would close the door to Server 4212.

'...I wasn't planning to enter just yet.'

Stab! Stab!

Seeing Urd frantically tearing at her own chest to commit suicide without saying a word, Seong Jihan immediately activated the server management device.

He hadn't even seen inside Ark with the power of Observation yet, so he didn't know if the Infinite Sword was floating there or stuck back in place, but

'...A server rollback takes priority for now.'

It was better to face the Infinite Sword than have Server 4212 explode.

Making that judgment,

Zing...

Seong Jihan connected to Ark right there on the spot.
