The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2

Chapter 654:

At first, Seong Jihan thought about immediately activating the power of protection when facing this light.

\'Unlike when the transcendent being\'s light came from Ashoka\'s body, I don\'t feel that comfortable sensation.\'

Surely the light coming from here must also be from the transcendent being.

Unlike with Ashoka earlier, here he didn\'t feel the comfort that could captivate people.

It had made Ashoka emit such a special light when summoned earlier.

Somehow, it doesn\'t seem to have much power here.

\'By the way, where is Urd?\'

As Seong Jihan was about to seArkh for Urd in the light.

"Hmm...!"

After taking a light breath, Jiang Shang slashed the air with the Infinite sword.

Then.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, hundreds of explosions occurred in the air.

Shattered golden clocks began to reveal themselves from within the light.

\'Were Urd\'s clocks hiding their presence in the transcendent being\'s light?\'

At first, Seong Jihan thought this while looking at the clock fragments.

"This... Be careful! It\'s changing to that light from earlier!"

Whoosh...!

As the white light intensified right after destroying the clocks, Jiang Shang urgently warned Seong Jihan.

While saying this, he raised the Infinite sword.

Swoosh...!

He absorbed the light bursting in all directions into the sword, but.

\'The transcendent being\'s light... As expected, it\'s not easy. Even the Infinite sword can\'t absorb it all.\'

Convinced that the light would reach him too, Seong Jihan prepared to counter it with all his might.

As he was about to raise Blue and Red while activating mental protection,

Flash...!

Suddenly, a golden clock appeared before his eyes.

[Is it you? The one who damaged my sword?]

Urd\'s voice was heard from within it.

At the same time.

Tick. Tock...

As the clock hands began to turn, the surrounding light started to distort all at once.

The mass of transcendent being\'s light, which had shown fatal power at the slightest touch, was now stopped by the light clock.

[Well then... Shall we take a look at the troublemaker in person?]

Whirl...

As the clock hands rapidly spun backwards, the surrounding environment, which had been nothing but light, changed in an instant.

\'This is...\'

When the light disappeared, what was revealed was a world full of golden clocks.

The floor, ceiling, and even the air, clocks of light floating everywhere as their hands turned, it was enough to make the viewer feel dizzy.

\'Did I get separated from Jiang Shang?\'

He was not sure what method was used, but it seemed like Jiang Shang was isolated, and only he was brought here.

As Seong Jihan thought this while surveying his surroundings,

Swish...

From one of the countless clocks, Urd appeared with a calm face.

"Hmm. I\'ve never seen someone like this among the isolates... Who are you?"

She looked at Seong Jihan with interest.

It seemed she didn\'t have much information about him, as she didn\'t even consider that he might be a server entity.

\'She\'s not an elf here.\'

Although she looked exactly like Urd\'s avatar, which was the prototype of elves, Urd with only different ear sizes.

As Seong Jihan examined her without answering,

"Can\'t you speak? Well, I guess there\'s no need to ask."

Snap.

Urd snapped her fingers.

Then,

Swish swish swish...

The golden clocks floating all around began to fly towards Seong Jihan at once.

"If I put you in the prison of time, you\'ll spill information on your own."

Having already brought him this far, Urd thought Seong Jihan was captured prey.

Certainly, looking at the surrounding environment full of clocks, it was natural to think so.

However,

\'Golden clocks... I didn\'t destroy them in the Ark\'s passage for fear of waking Urd.\'

If he had been willing to risk her waking up and tried to burn them, he could have burned them as much as he wanted.

Seong Jihan raised Blue and Red.

Infinite Annihilation God

Opening the Blue Gate

Blue Flame

He unleashed the power contained within.

The blue flame that spread immediately as the blue border of Blue and Red disappeared.

It burned all the golden clocks rushing to surround Seong Jihan, and began to scorch even this space full of clocks.

"...? What?"

Seeing this, Urd opened her eyes wide and,

"You... Who are you to be using Father\'s power?"

She said something unexpected to him.

* * *

"...Father?"

Father, she said.

Seong Jihan unconsciously repeated after hearing Urd\'s words.

"Finally, you speak. I thought you couldn\'t talk."

"You... What connection do you have with Mitra?"

"Oh my. You know where your ability originated from."

Then Urd opened her mouth willingly.

"Mitra is my father."

"On what grounds?"

"Huh... But it\'s strange? Impersonating Mitra\'s daughter would be nothing short of blasphemy. You don\'t seem to care much about that."

Seong Jihan\'s eyes darkened at those words.

To the new humanity, Mitra was the absolute being who created the light body system.

Was she saying that as a new human, he should have been upset from the moment Urd called herself Mitra\'s daughter?

\'Still, it seems she doesn\'t know my identity as a server entity yet... It\'s probably better if Urd doesn\'t know that until the end.\'

Thinking he should be more cautious in dealing with her, Seong Jihan recalled when Id talked about Mitra.

\'If Mitra had a daughter, Id, who even knew Mitra\'s old name Jackson, would have known...\'

And he definitely said he remembered Urd\'s existence because she was pretty.

If Urd was really Mitra\'s daughter, he wouldn\'t have not mentioned it.

Seong Jihan combined the information he had heard before and slowly opened his mouth.

"...I\'ve never heard that Mitra had a daughter."

"Hehe. Of course. I didn\'t know either. Until I touched the transcendent being."

Saying this, Urd sat comfortably on the light clock and pointed at Seong Jihan.

"And, you probably have some connection to Mitra too. Since you have the nullification ability."

"Huh. What nonsense... The daughter story was just random talk after all. Why don\'t you just say all new humans are Mitra\'s children?"

"Hehe. Then think of it as a delusion. Would you like to hear a story?"

A story.

It seemed this woman was trying to buy time.

Listening to her story here would only benefit Urd.

"No. I won\'t listen."

Seong Jihan answered like this and.

Whoosh...!

He ignited blue flames from Blue and Red once again.

Then, as the blue flame spread in all directions, it began to erode the space full of golden clocks in an instant.

"Hmm. This... is really hard to deal with."

As Urd spoke with difficulty while looking at the blue flame, Seong Jihan went further and slashed at Urd\'s body sitting on the clock.

Then,

Whoosh...!

Her body seemed to burn immediately, but.

Tick...

As the hands of the clock she was sitting on turned, Urd\'s body reappeared far away.

"Ah. Really. So impatient...! If you kill me, you\'ll be absorbed by Father too. Don\'t you know about being discarded after use?"

"That doesn\'t mean I can trust you."

"Ah. This is frustrating. Really!"

Slash...!

Ignoring Urd\'s words, Seong Jihan continued burning the space full of clocks.

Every time he burned the clocks,

Whoosh.

"No, really, we\'re all going to die! At this rate?"

From various burning clocks,

"I\'m barely holding back the transcendent being with the light clocks... What are you trying to do if you burn these?"

Urd\'s heads popped out, urgently speaking.

However, as Seong Jihan continued to color this space with blue flames without responding,

"Ah! Little brother! Please listen to your sister!"

She even started calling Seong Jihan her little brother.

"...Who are you calling little brother?"

"Phew. Finally, you answer."

Relieved at Seong Jihan\'s response, she began to speak rapidly.

"Little brother. Please listen. You don\'t need to kill me so quickly. Because I can never beat you! Your power is completely opposite to mine."

"Then you should just die quietly."

"But! If I die, you die too. Come on... think of rock-paper-scissors! If I\'m scissors, you\'re rock. And the transcendent being is paper. If I die, you\'ll be caught by paper and die too!"

Seong Jihan listened to Urd explaining the power dynamics using rock-paper-scissors and quietly replied.

"Call me little brother one more time and I\'ll burn everything, transcendent being or not."

"Huh? Wasn\'t this to your liking?"

Whoosh...!

As Seong Jihan ignited the blue flame without answering,

"Ah. Okay. I won\'t call you little brother anymore. Come on, let\'s negotiate. We\'ll split the transcendent being\'s power half and half."

"Split the transcendent being\'s power...?"

"Yes."

As Seong Jihan seemed to show interest in this, Urd, not missing this chance, spoke even faster.

"I have a way to control the transcendent being. And this would be easier if you help."

"What kind of method?"

"Well, that is..."

As she got to the methodology, Urd paused for a moment, looking at Seong Jihan with meaningful eyes.

"It\'s a method using the server."

"The server?"

"Yes. The current server number is... what was it? In the 4000s. We keep resetting this and creating new ones."

"Renewing and creating servers..."

"Yes. And while doing that, we drain the transcendent being\'s power. Until he reaches a level we can control."

And every time she mentioned the server, she closely observed how Seong Jihan reacted.

"First, we\'d probably need to create and destroy servers up to about the 7000s... For that, we\'d need to close the current server, right?"

Seong Jihan, watching Urd specifically mentioning servers, recalled the vision he had seen earlier with the power of observation.

Surely back then, regarding the server...

-...Ha. Haha. What? The server is really the weakness?

She had laughed maniacally, saying she didn\'t expect this threat to work.

Even now, she kept mentioning the server and watched for changes in his expression,

\'She seems to suspect I\'m a server entity.\'

But she didn\'t seem to have definitive proof, given her uncertainty.

-A being who climbed up to the Ark showing attachment to the server... I thought it couldn\'t be, but hehe. Hehehe... How did such a stupid person come this far?

-...Stop.

-Stop? You should speak properly. Master. Please stop. I beg you. Like that.

Recalling that vision, Seong Jihan smiled slightly.

For now, should he play along a bit?

"I see... Can the transcendent being\'s power be divided just by closing a mere server? Tell me the detailed method."

As Seong Jihan said this, acting as if he didn\'t care about the server at all,

"...The method is..."

Urd began to speak while closely observing him.
