The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 410

Beyond the Abyss in Pyongyang.

There, the emptiness of purple haze filled the air, and at the very back, the owner of the massive abyss sat hunched over.

And there were two beings standing in front of him.

One was the spirit of Taegeuk, who took on the appearance of Sung JiHan, and the other was Sung JiA in a statue-like state.

"So that fatso is still here. Haven't completely taken control yet?" Sung JiHan spoke as he saw the giant figure, and the spirit of Taegeuk tilted his head.

"No. I can absorb it, but the efficiency is not good. Instead, its power will be used when opening the door of emptiness."

Thanks to Taegeuk installed by Dongbangsak, they had gained the upper hand, but the power was only meant to be used for escape, according to the spirit of Taegeuk.

He glanced at Yoon SaeA, who had fallen asleep with blood marks.

"Judging by her appearance, it seems persuasion didn't work."

"Yeah. I marked her with blood because she said she definitely won't go."

"Blood... she was fed that. Even SaeA must be a powerful player."

"What Dongbangsak taught her has been effective."

"...I see. Dongbangsak."

The spirit of Taegeuk frowned as if he didn't like that name.

"Thanks to him, I regained control, but I don't know what side effects will occur from Taegeuk installed. Let's proceed quickly."

"How do you plan to proceed?"

"First, we need to undergo a racial transformation."

As the spirit of Taegeuk said that while looking at Sung JiA, she held out her palm.

[Summon.]

Ssssshhhh.

Then, a huge glass test tube popped out of the purple floor filled with emptiness.

"...What is that?"

[Racial transformation kit. Sold at the auction house.]

"They have such things at the auction house..."

"You won't find it even if you search. It can only be searched on the side of emptiness."

Sung JiHan furrowed his brow as he looked at the test tube, which was the size that could fit ten people.

"Is that safe?"

"It's for SaeA's use, so safety was the priority. It's the best quality even among the top-tier ones."

Sung JiA opened the door of the test tube and started taking out items from her inventory.

"...What is that?"

"It's an item that increases the default success rate set in the racial transformation kit to 95 percent. It increases the probability even more."

Thump. Thump.

Starting from the skull and flesh of an unknown organism.

Various items, from gemstones to ores, were put into the test tube.

The items that went in like food in a blender.

And they were quickly shredded, changing the color of the glass tube.

"It's done. It's 100 percent now."

"What did you put in just now?"

"It's a material that increases the success rate of reinforcement. It looks good for the body."

If it's good for the body, I've been grinding things in a blender since a long time ago, even in my current state as a high-ranking witch of emptiness.

Sung JiHan thought that Yoon SaeA did well to mark her blood.

Even if she decides to escape, she probably wouldn't want to go into that blender.

"Now, shall we begin?"

"...Sure. If anything seems strange, I'll destroy it immediately."

"Of course. If there's a problem, I'll destroy it first. But it's a verified company's product, so there shouldn't be any issues, right?"

Sung JiA confidently opened the door of the glass tube.

"Since Nuna guarantees it to this extent, I can't help but trust it."

If anything seems strange, Sung JiHan thought he should detonate it immediately, but for now, he sent the sleeping Yoon SaeA into the test tube.

Then, as soon as she entered, water began to fill up inside.

Beep!

[Subject conversion, species identification... Identified as 'human'.]

[Humans included in the 'prohibited conversion species' list with the latest update. Species conversion not possible.]

A warning message appeared on the test tube.

Chiiiiing...

The door opened on its own, pushing Yoon Sae-ah back outside.

***

"No... it's prohibited? They were definitely a cautionary species before..."

Sung JiHan approached the glass tube where the message appeared, as if unable to believe it.

"This can't be... if they were a cautionary species, they could have been changed if they were in a partially evolved state, right? I bought this because it's genuine!"

"Do they have genuine and non-genuine versions of that kind of thing?"

"Well, I bought it for Sae-ah, so I made sure it was genuine!"

If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have bought the genuine one, right?

No, it would have been dangerous then.

Sung JiHan muttered to himself, unable to believe the reality unfolding before his eyes.

"To be blocked by the latest update... is humanity a species that can't even undergo conversion?"

When the plan to evacuate to another world after species conversion went awry from the beginning, Mang Hon looked at the test tube as if dumbfounded.

What on earth was humanity, that even with the latest update, they couldn't change their species?

However, Sung JiHan had a clue.

"With the latest update, the judgment of being unable to convert... now that I think about it, the green administrator also determined that the red administrator had infiltrated humanity after species evolution."

Traces of the red administrator discovered in humans after species evolution.

If they had known this, they could have taken sufficient measures to prohibit conversion.

"Where exactly is the place that made that?"

"...The Void Species Research Institute."

"So they've also grasped the Void?"

"What?"

"That humans are involved with the red administrator."

"What kind of nonsense is that?!"

When Sung JiAh was startled by those words, Sung JiHan calmly replied.

"The green administrator said that the red one is humanity itself. I didn't fully trust those words, but seeing that they even made it impossible to convert in the Void... it seems like it might be true."

"Humanity... is the red administrator?"

"Yes."

"That's what they said..."

After hearing Sung JiHan's words, Mang Hon seemed to have caught onto something.

For a while, he only muttered about the red administrator.

"...If species conversion is also blocked, then the Void's door must be even more tightly sealed."

"So, escape is impossible in the current state."

The giant behind them.

And Mang Hon, who looked back at Sung JiHan and Sung JiAh, bit his lip.

"...Now that this method is blocked, there's only one way."

"What is it?"

Thump. Thump.

In response to Sung JiHan's question, Mang Hon approached the seated giant's body.

He reached out his hand towards the giant's body.

And then.

Crack!

The giant's body split open on its own.

Mang Hon stepped into it himself.

Swoosh...

Mang Hon's body soon disappeared into the giant's flesh.

And one of the red eyes in the giant's body flickered.

A voice flowed out from within.

[Sung JiHan... As long as we exist individually, we cannot escape from this world. To break through the golden barrier, we must unite our strength.]

Roar!

At the same time, the giant's body split once again.

Sung JiHan silently gazed at the crack.

"By uniting our strength, do you mean I should also go in there?"

[That's right.]

"I see... If I were to go in, how would we proceed?"

[Break through the sealed void door with force and leap through space to reach our destination.]

"The method itself seems simple."

[However, to actually execute it, we will need much greater power than we have now...]

Flash! Flash!

The eyes embedded in the giant's body began to open one by one, emitting a dense aura of emptiness.

"If you join forces with us, you will be able to harness the power of the Red Administrator. Then humanity will become a sufficient source of energy."

"You plan to use humanity as a source of energy for escape..."

[That's right. Since the existence of the Red Administrator has been revealed, humanity's fate will be quickly decided... If we're going to die anyway, it's better to at least save our family of two.]

"The scale is large, perhaps because I have experienced the destruction of humanity scenario," Sung JiHan thought, recalling when the owner of the Abyss activated the Taegeuk.

Sung JiHan drew his sword from his left hand.

He knew what the Taegeuk's spirit was trying to achieve.

"It will fail. This method will."

Sung JiHan was certain.

The plan to break the void door and teleport through space.

The current actions of the spirit were nothing more than a deviation from the original plan.

When he saw Sung JiHan draw his sword, the spirit sighed.

[As expected... You have no intention of cooperating? You still don't understand that two are more precious than 7 billion...]

"No, it's not like that. I can understand that feeling."

Sung JiHan accepted the spirit's calculation that two are more valuable than 7 billion, but...

"I have a strong feeling."

[A feeling?]

"If I merge with you, I have a strong feeling that this will be the end."

He completely rejected the spirit's proposal.

"Jihan! A feeling? Are you still talking about that?"

"Well, I felt it strongly."

"Don't say that, let's find another way. How about testing a non-genuine species conversion kit? And there must be a way to go to this world without necessarily going through the void door."

While Sung JiAh tried to find a way to stop the two from fighting, Sung JiHan asked, "What do you think, Nuna?"

"...It's impossible. After searching for various methods and coming to a conclusion, that was it."

In response to Sung JiHan's question, the spirit immediately answered that it was not possible.

Sung JiHan sighed.

The spirit, who had firmly rejected the question, restored the body that had been split.

[Your feeling... It has been the optimal choice until now.]

"Yes."

"...I understand. I will respect your choice."

The giant slowly stood up.

Kururur!

The Abyss space shook violently.

The dense emptiness began to engulf Sung JiHan in an instant.

"In the end, you will end up joining us."

Giving up on persuasion, the Taegeuk's spirit decided to use force.

Cheonma Shin Gong (Heavenly Demon God Technique)

The sword breaks through the sky with a single strike.

As Sung JiHan's sword pierces through the point.

The dense emptiness that was pressing in suddenly scatters in all directions.

Seeing that, the giant's body trembles for a moment.

"That... is this the Eastern Dagger of Dongbangsak?"

"Yes. I learned a lot from him."

"...Think about unleashing that sword from this body. Then, could even a god defeat it?"

Sung JiHan smirked at those words.

Although the owner of the Abyss, the giant's body was powerful.

"It won't be enough."

"It won't be enough..."

"Yes. If it could be ended so easily, I would have switched a long time ago."

It was impossible to surpass the wall of the gods.

The lost soul, who thought that the reason for such an answer was because he didn't want to enter the giant's body, said.

"You've shown that it's not lacking."

Sss...!

He tried to show his true strength.

Before the battle could truly begin.

"It's good to show, but..."

Swoosh.

Sung JiHan pointed at the two with his finger.

"Are you going to leave Nuna and SeA here? They will be swept away by the aftermath of the battle."

"That won't do."

Since the fight was originally to save the two, they couldn't let them get involved here.

Ziiing!

A portal opens to the outside.

"Take SeA with you, Nuna."

"...No, are you really going to fight each other? There must be another way...!"

"We're not fighting, our opinions are being unified."

"Still!"

"...The owner of the Abyss commands it. Take SeA and keep her in a safe place."

"That... Fine, I got it."

As Sung JiAh couldn't be persuaded with words, she gave the order.

"SeA... Are you going to keep her in a state of being bloodied?"

"I'll release her."

Snap!

When Sung JiHan moved his finger.

Yoon SeA, who was in a collapsed state, suddenly regained consciousness.

"Huh? Where is this... Oh, Uncle! I said I'm not going...! There's no way you can knock me out and bring me here for real!!"

She looked around and assessed the situation, then shouted in protest.

"Oh, sorry. But you're not going. Everything has changed."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Just wait outside with Nuna."

"Huh? Huh?"

"...Let's go, SeA."

Sung JiAh carried her like a burden and headed towards the portal.

She looked around, not understanding English.

And when the two entered, the portal disappeared.

"It... went well."

The lost soul waited until the portal was completely closed.

"Then, let's begin."

They started to move in earnest.
