Chapter 384
Chapter 384
"...Geumnyun? What is that?"
Gilgamesh furrowed his brow.
He didn't clearly understand what it meant.
But he instinctively felt a strange sense of unease.
"This has nothing to do with our contract. I have no obligation to inform you."
After hearing this, Hana Mousin informed Gilgamesh.
"Asoka, bring out the Sung JiHan right now."
He commanded Asoka once again.
Then...
Sss...
Behind the ice wall created by Pithia, Asoka revealed herself.
She looked at the Mousin and his servant with a calm expression and slowly spoke.
"It is difficult to carry out that order right away."
"What... Are you defying my words?"
"The Administrator's attention is more focused than ever. If we hastily turn the Geumnyun, their intervention may lead to failure."
"Don't talk nonsense. The Administrator's gaze will be more concentrated here as time goes on. Now is the most opportune time. Asoka, turn it immediately. If you continue to resist... I will do it myself."
As Mousin's eyes flashed red, a deep red light surged from his body.
And it soon reached the Mugu floating in the sky.
Aaaah!
Mousin's power began to amplify greatly.
Connected to the deep red light, it was a weapon of the Seat that amplified Mousin's power.
"What is this..."
Gilgamesh, who was about to say something to Mousin, closed his mouth when he saw it.
The Mugu embroidered in the sky.
He didn't think Mousin just left it there as a memento, but he didn't know it would directly enhance him like this.
"...If he has this level of power, I can never win."
After humanity grew to a lower level.
He thought that as the ruling Seat, he could exert influence over them and grow in power.
But seeing the current Mousin, that was a complete misjudgment.
Even if he absorbed only a part of the Seat's Mugu, it was to this extent. If he absorbed all the Mugus that were filled...
"I need to find another way to defeat Mousin..."
As Gilgamesh observed Mousin's true power one more layer and got lost in thought.
Asoka calmly looked up at the surging energy of Mousin.
"Do you know? The filled stars... They haven't increased in number for a while."
"..."
"Mousin. Your plan has been effective so far, but now it has reached its limit."
"It's not yet at its limit."
"But at this rate, we will have to turn the Geumnyun infinitely... You also know that you are in a state of stagnation, and you have helped in the evolution of humanity, haven't you?"
"...That's right. And I have come to realize that the Administrators have been paying attention to this place all along, even though they haven't intervened because they considered humanity to be the lowest."
The three Administrators who appeared on the Holy Channel.
It wouldn't be strange for the Green Administrator to appear actively since he was an active Administrator.
But the White and Black Administrators rarely revealed themselves.
As soon as humanity became an inferior race, they had to face their own reflection.
The reason they revealed themselves was supposedly because they wanted to draw attention to Sung JiHan.
[The administrator's attention is merely a formality. In reality, they must be investigating the situation through Sung JiHan. Since there is no evidence, it is impossible for the administrator to directly investigate this place.]
"You know it well. So we must be careful now. We have to wait until their gaze disappears."
[Once the administrator's surveillance begins, it never stops. They will relentlessly scrutinize this place. We have to reset everything. We are not fully prepared yet.]
"Reset?"
Reset, you say.
Gilgamesh caught a significant word from the words of the god.
Turn the wheel of karma.
So everything must be reset...
"...What does this mean? Could it be?"
When Gilgamesh lowered his gaze.
"If Sung JiHan, who serves as the administrator's eyes, disappears?"
[...If we eliminate him, it will only invite greater intervention from the administrator.]
"What if he is killed after becoming the Seat?"
[That was the original plan, but since the administrator's eyes have been bestowed upon him, there is no need to delay.]
"Then, what if he is killed by the hands of a third party?"
Hwarr...
As such, flames rose in front of Asoka.
And within the blazing red flames, the figure of a giant was revealed.
A giant with red eyes embedded all over its body, a purple giant.
Unlike the purple body, its head was made of wood.
"The master of the Abyss. He will kill Sung JiHan."
[...He fights against the master of the Abyss?]
"Yes. His relatives are being held captive by the master of the Abyss. And I had a proposal. If he defeats him, he will reveal information about the gods."
[...]
Although Asoka said that he sold his own information.
The power of the gods had become even calmer than before.
The master of the Abyss.
He also knew how powerful his power was.
No matter how strong Sung JiHan became, he could not defeat the master of the Abyss.
Shuuu...
The crimson light that was connected to the Seat's weapon disappeared, and the power of the gods was reduced to its previous level.
[He fights against the master of the Abyss and dies...]
"The administrator's eyes will disappear, and their intervention will become more difficult. And this time, there was a special individual like Sung JiHan."
Asoka looked up at the sky.
"The number of special stars will increase even more next time, won't it?"
[In exchange for bearing the danger, the rewards will be great, I suppose.]
"That's right."
The god's eyes flashed red, and he stared intently at Asoka.
And soon, Gilgamesh also felt an intense aura that made his spine tingle.
But even in such an atmosphere, Asoka smiled and slightly lowered her head.
[...It's good. However, this is the last time. I won't tolerate recklessness next time.]
"I appreciate your advice."
[In my heart, I want to seal you again... but now is not the time to waste energy.]
The form of the deity gradually became faint.
[Just like when you were sealed, stay quiet.]
"I will do so."
"Don't wander around and stay still."
While saying that, the deity's eyes glanced at Gilgamesh.
Gilgamesh frowned and questioned him.
"What are you planning to do?"
"I will block the administrator's surveillance."
Ssshhh...
While doing so, the deity completely disappeared.
Asuka silently stared at the spot where he disappeared.
'I have gained... time.'
A wandering deity.
He was full of suspicion and caution.
Even though he possessed such immense power.
To the point where he could use the Golden Orb to turn back time with just a small variable.
The reason he was convinced by Asuka was because she said that the opponent Sung JiHan had to fight was the owner of Abyss.
'Can Sung JiHan's talent surpass the Taeguk's Mandate?'
It's ambiguous.
Asuka recalled the Taeguk Sword that Sung JiHan had drawn.
Only the handle of the sword was visible, but it showed some potential.
'...No. Now that I think about it, no one of that caliber has appeared so far. It will be difficult for anyone to appear in the future. I have to somehow bring this to an end this time.'
While he was lost in thought.
Step. Step.
Three of the deity's subordinates approached Asuka.
'The variables that can help Sung JiHan...'
Asuka carefully observed them.
Among them, what he scrutinized the most was neither Pithia nor Dong Bangsak.
'He will be the one.'
After seeing the power of the deity, Gilgamesh's momentum was weakened.
* * *
[Sung JiHan, who has risen to the Star League. Continues to walk the path of the unknown.]
[The arrival of the administrator that shocked the aliens. The one who suppressed the conspiracy theory was the 'Eye of Light'.]
[The upgraded functions of the Sung JiHan channel? The options that viewers can choose from have become more diverse.]
[The identities of the three people who revealed themselves as the rulers of humanity. The most suspicious person is still Pithia.]
Even though a day has passed since the promotion match to the Star League and the 'Succession Ceremony' ended.
The interest of the people involved in this game was still high.
-All the aliens were manipulating everything, but now that the Eye of Light has appeared, they all shut their mouths lol
-But is the administrator really that amazing?
-Aren't they just the gods of Battle.net?
-But there were gods on Battle.net too. Like the Brain God from before.
-They must be a few levels higher than them, considering how those aliens are causing such a commotion, lol.
The human viewers, who do not perceive the presence of the administrator as much as the aliens do.
Instead, they focused their attention on Sung JiHan's channel change or the seat of power for humanity.
-Did you see Sung JiHan's channel? It was upgraded and sparkling white all by himself, lol.
-But the Eye of Light and the channel options... I can't really feel any significant changes.
-We'll have to try broadcasting to find out, yeah.
-But weren't the rulers of humanity a bit out of place?
-Asoka King is one thing, but Pithia... They say it's just what the Greek prophet pointed out. The prophet is ruling over the kings, wow.
To the viewers, Sung JiHan's channel seemed to only have a shiny exterior and a few additional features.
Although the Eye of Light mark appeared on the screen, they couldn't perceive its impact.
Unlike the viewers who didn't feel such a big change.
"Wow, there are so many additional features."
Sung JiHan frowned as he looked at his upgraded BattleTube channel, which the white administrator had upgraded.
He thought there wouldn't be anything special about a channel upgrade.
From the perspective of the channel creator, there were now too many options to choose from.
Sung JiHan tried to study the channel a bit.
"...I should leave the details to Ha Yeon."
He gave up on analyzing it after seeing the continuously popping up detailed options.
It's better to leave the complicated stuff to the guild master.
"But the most important thing is still the Eye of Light."
Yesterday, Sung JiHan couldn't receive the Star Buff because the viewing was blocked in the game.
With the disappearance of the +80% stat boost, he definitely felt its absence during the process of creating the Taegeuk Sword.
"It must be because of my lack of talent..."
Asoka, who said Sung JiHan's talent was ambiguous.
At the time, he didn't feel good hearing those words.
But after a day passed, he accepted it positively and found a solution.
"Unless I have an innate talent like Dong Bang Sak, I have to make up for my lack of talent with other means."
The orthodox method to raise a lacking talent would probably be training.
But the reality in front of Sung JiHan wasn't that simple.
The owner of the Abyss, Dong Bang Sak, and the Divine Beings, etc.
There were plenty of formidable opponents to deal with.
Even if he trained, he needed means to bridge the gap with them.
"The most basic of those means would be the Star Buff. I want to test the Eye of Light to see if it won't be blocked like last time..."
Even if he wanted to experiment, he needed the channel viewing to be blocked.
While Sung JiHan was thinking about how there might be no way,
[The owner of the Arena has sent you a message.]
-The repair of the Void Training Ground is complete. Would you like to come and see?
"Oh."
A suitable place to test had been given to him just in time.
