The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 197

"Prophecy doesn't work? Not even with your power?"

Dongbangsak raised an eyebrow as if surprised.

The prophet, Pithia.

Her prophecies date back to ancient times.

As the fourth priestess of the Delphic Oracle in Greece, she displayed a chilling ability to predict the future through divine inspiration.

Rulers from various countries wanted to possess her, to the point where her personal safety was threatened by their schemes.

Suddenly, a wandering deity appeared and took her as his own seed.

"The fact that she was taken by the deity is the final prophecy."

Thus, becoming the deity's seed, she lived an eternal life.

Sometimes as a man, sometimes as a woman.

The greatest prophet in human history, who appeared and made a name for herself in various names throughout history.

However, as she became the deity's seed, there was one prophecy she could not fulfill.

That was the "last" prophecy.

She was deprived of the right to witness the end of humanity by the deity.

"Maybe... it's related to the 'last'."

"Really? Hm... this guy is actually preventing the end of humanity. He even maintained his ranking on the Battle.net this time."

"The end of humanity and the end you're talking about are different. The punishment of the Void Witch this time will be carried out through the penalty of Battle.net. The end of humanity has more diverse possibilities."

"What are they?"

"I don't know either, I can't see it. Ask the owner who took away my abilities."

I would really ask the deity such a thing.

Longinus frowned.

"...Isn't it just because that guy has a soul and can't be seen? He has the power of the stars."

"A soul? Does this person have a soul too? That's impossible. Hm..."

Pithia observed Sung JiHan with an interested gaze.

"If it's because of the soul, maybe the prophecy will work if I see it for myself."

"You can't see it for yourself. Even if the tutorial is over, it's impossible for us to directly intervene on Earth."

"Is that so? Isn't there any way? That's a shame..."

Perhaps she wanted to try it herself because the prophecy didn't work in the photo.

Pithia couldn't hide her regret.

Seeing her like that, Dongbangsak spoke up.

"There is a way."

"What is it?"

"As the Sung JiHan, we just need to find a sponsor who will unite with us."

"Oh... Unite? Is that possible?"

If there is a target that aligns well with our characteristics, it is possible. I found one in Taiwan, and Longinus found one in Russia."

"Did you say Berserker Vladmir? I want to merge with that guy quickly and give him a proper education."

Woodduk.

When Longinus clenched his fist and smiled slyly, Pithia understood the situation.

"Ah, so you're planning to see it in the Battle.net National Championship. Hm... If we see it through Battle.net, it might be possible to predict. I should also try to find a target for unification."

While saying that, Pithia closed her eyes.

Then, a bright white light flickered near her forehead.

A cluster of light emerged, resembling a third eye.

Sueuk.

The white-eyed pupil of light looked around the room.

Then she opened her eyes again.

"We need to find someone who resonates with us in the Northeast Asia League, right? To meet that person's country."

"That's right."

"The person who resonates with me is in the eastern island country."

"No, have you already found them...?"

"Well, I used the Divine Eye."

As she said that, Pithia slightly raised the corner of her mouth.

"Then, shall we make a bet on who will strike first?"

"...Are you planning to fight too?"

"Well, it's frustrating that the prophecy doesn't work. I want to educate them too."

Dongbangsak stroked his beard.

Even though she has the ability to predict, can she also fight well?

"She has experience with activities in Zandark, but..."

At that moment, Longinus interrupted.

"But what about the Void Witch?"

"I already sent a message about that. They should monitor the witches well."

"...Is that all?"

"If they're like that, then I should prepare as well, right? It'll be easier for me to handle the witch than it is for you."

"True."

Having lived through countless battles and hardships, Pitiabo knew that it would be easier to manipulate the newly emerged witch of the void.

"Well then, I'll leave that problem to you and go take care of the education."

"Sounds good."

And so, the three disciples began to actively intervene in the Northeast Asia League.

* * *

The fourth dungeon.

"Finally, the last one..."

Christoph found the core of the final giant dungeon with a serious expression.

"In the second one, we had Yun Sae-ah, and in the third one, there was a fantasy related to the Sword King... I wonder what will come out this time."

"Will Sung JiHan appear? But so far, the fantasies have been like a bad ending list. Maybe it's better if he doesn't show up..."

"Hmm, let's see. Sae-ah."

"Yes."

What scene will unfold?

Yun Sae-ah summoned the Void Arrow with a tense expression.

And then, the spreading purple light, just like before.

The final fantasy appeared to everyone.

"Here is..."

A desolate land swallowed by darkness.

This was a sight that Sung JiHan could never forget in his lifetime.

"There are no more lower leagues."

"You have been expelled from the Space League."

"NO.4212. Humanity has been classified as a worthless species. Deletion will commence."

Humanity being demoted and deleted after losing in the relegation match.

"P-Please save us..."

The comrades of American First were quickly consumed by darkness.

"All of humanity has been deleted."

"You have become the last survivor."

The final moment.

When Sung JiHan, whose limbs were consumed by darkness, was lying alone on the ground.

"It's over."

Flash!

In front of him, a brilliant being appeared.

Filled with iridescent light, an opponent whose form could not be discerned.

But when Sung JiHan saw him, he instinctively felt it.

"Is he a god...?"

As soon as he saw him, a deep-rooted sense of enmity boiled up from within his chest.

This feeling was even more intense than when he saw Shizuru, who had caused him so much suffering in this life.

Why am I feeling like this? It was surprising even to himself.

"This is it, then."

Sung JiHan looked down at the being of light.

He slowly extended his hand.

"Seed. Enter my body."

And then.

Shuuuuu...!

In an instant, Sung JiHan's body transformed into light and was sucked into his hand.

The wandering god clenched his hand, made of light, tightly.

He raised his finger towards the sky.

And then.

The sky, which had been shrouded in darkness, split completely.

As if the sunlight that had been obscured exploded, it poured down.

In an instant, with a single movement, the world was illuminated.

Sung JiHan, witnessing the power he had unleashed, recalled a certain skill.

"...Could it be, the Hwangsogeon of the Hwangsogeon?"

The basic skill of the Nameless Divine Art, the Hwangsogeon that sweeps through thousands of troops with a single strike.

The divine art that the god unleashed with a single movement of his finger.

"I really... have become strong."

The difference between them was still like night and day, and even more so.

When Sung JiHan was thrilled by the power of the Sung JiHan.

[...Still not enough.]

He said discontentedly while looking at the completely open sky.

[But... I see the end.]

Flash!

With those words, he disappeared.

And thus, the fantasy came to an end.

"There was a reason my sister called him a monster...."

The power of the Sung JiHan, which opened the sky again.

Among all the opponents he had seen so far, it was undoubtedly overwhelming.

Fighting against such an opponent over the soul?

It was nothing more than an act of suicide.

"...Strange. My appetite hasn't gone away."

Sung JiHan was surprised by his own emotions once again.

Whether it was a difference in power that could make him give up everything.

Somehow.

He felt like he could fight against him.

"Yes, let's win."

Sung JiHan made up his mind like that.

He summarized the differences between this fantasy and his previous life.

"...There was no vote this time."

The vote that gave him a chance to challenge again.

The event where he went back to the past with 3 votes in favor and 1 against did not appear this time.

What was the difference between that time and this fantasy?

While Sung JiHan was thinking about this.

"Uh... Is this one about the extinction of humanity?"

"If JiHan was the last survivor, then I must have died too."

"No... But if you get expelled from the Space League, does that mean humanity will be extinct?"

"That's what I'm saying. Oppa, Battle.net... Was it that dangerous?"

"This fantasy... I hope it was just a fantasy."

People who had seen the fantasy together began to talk about it one by one.

Perhaps because they saw a future of the extinction of humanity, their expressions were the most serious they had ever been.

But.

"In the end, it just flashed and ended... What happened?"

"Uncle, did you see anything else?"

Except for Sung JiHan, no one had seen the actions of the Sung JiHan properly.

"I don't know."

"But this fantasy looks like a bad ending list. Damn... Is Mom trapped just by watching this kind of thing? It doesn't seem good for her mental health."

A fantasy where their home was destroyed and humanity was extinct.

If you watch something like this, even a person who was fine would go crazy.

"We didn't get any clues about Jia, but... since we destroyed all the giant dungeons, we can now enter the Abyss."

"That's right. Let's get out of here quickly. Mom must be there, right?"

"But before that, wait a minute, Ariel."

Sung JiHan called out to Ariel, and the Shadow Sword disappeared, revealing her figure.

"Tell me about the Abyss."

"I don't know much about the Abyss either. It's an area controlled by the Void, so the changes are quite diverse."

"Hmm. Really? Is there nothing to prepare?"

"We cleared the surrounding dungeons, so we should be able to enter. How about going for a reconnaissance? With you and the Sword King, you should be able to handle any enemy that comes out."

"Right. That's a good idea. We don't know what will come out of the Abyss, so my brother-in-law and I will go first to assess the situation."

Even if strong enemies come out of the Abyss.

With Sung JiHan and the Sword King, they were more than capable of dealing with them.

Just like when the exploration team first explored the giant dungeon, Sung JiHan and the Sword King decided to enter first.

"As for me..."

"You stay here."

"Tch, I have to become a diamond quickly then."

Thus, Sung JiHan also kept Yoon Se-ah waiting from a distance and went to scout the Abyss with the Sword King.

Unlike the dungeon portal, the Abyss was located in a cracked ground.

Powerful monsters were popping out of the cracks in the crimson rift, but...

"What a hassle."

Sung JiHan followed the imaginary Hwangsosheon Army of the martial god he had seen a while ago.

He mowed down the monsters like fallen leaves.

"As expected, I'm still not at that level."

Unlike the martial god who split the sky with his fingers,

Sung JiHan's full power could only take down hundreds or thousands.

Of course, to others, taking down hundreds or thousands was an incredible feat.

But compared to a martial god, Sung JiHan felt that his martial arts were lacking more than ever.

"I need to train my basic skills again."

With that in mind, Sung JiHan led the way, sweeping away the monsters as they arrived at the entrance to the Abyss.

Sung JiHan looked at the crack beneath the ground, where a crimson energy surged.

"Let's go in, hyung."

"Alright."

Swoosh!

Sung JiHan and Geomwang both jumped into the crack, but...

"The owner of the Abyss has changed the entry conditions of the Abyss."

"Only players belonging to the Grand Master League can enter the Abyss."

"You are in the Platinum League."

"You cannot enter the Abyss."

Thud!

Both of them were blocked by a crimson barrier and were thrown back.

"...What? The Grand Master League?"

The Master League and the Grand Master League were added to the game when the Battle.net came.

The Abyss required being in the Grand Master League to enter, completely blocking them from even entering.

"Are they... joking?"

Geomwang swung his white sword with all his might, pouring it into the crack, but...

Ping! Ping!

The barrier blocking the crack deflected all the sword strikes.

"Due to the sudden change in conditions, the activity range of the Abyss has decreased."

"The appearing monsters in the Abyss have weakened."

Due to the sudden change in conditions, the Abyss received its own penalty.

From the perspective of Korea, it was good that the number of monsters coming from North Korea had decreased.

But for Sung JiHan and his party who were trying to rescue Sung JiAh, it was a bewildering change.

"Brother-in-law... Can we break through that together?"

"Sure. Let's try to break it."

They poured all their power into striking the crack, but...

The barrier didn't even flinch.

After striking for three hours...

"What... What is this? We can't enter?"

Yoon SaeA and her party, who had come after hearing the situation, looked at the crack with a bewildered expression.

Only the Grand Master League could enter.

What kind of condition was that?

"Ah, seriously... Mom! I'm back! Open the door! Void Arrow!"

With Sung JiHan and Geomwang's fierce attacks,

Yoon SaeA also contributed by shooting arrows.

Although their attacks were much weaker compared to Sung JiHan and Geomwang's,

Swoosh...

Perhaps due to its Void attribute, the arrows didn't bounce off like other attacks.

"Oh... Is it working?"

Yoon SaeA continued to shoot Void Arrows, but...

"...It's not working."

The Void arrows were continuously absorbed, unable to break through the barrier.

After investing several days, Sung JiHan and his party didn't achieve any results.

"...It's not working. Let's retreat for now."

"...Alright."

And so, Sung JiHan and his party were forced to retreat in front of the barrier blocking the entrance to the Abyss.

"We need to level up."

"Sigh... That's true. The Grand Master League..."

Everyone felt disappointed and was trying to meet the entry conditions.

"...Wait. I, the Holy See..."

Yoon SaeA, who had been gloomy beside them, opened her eyes as if she couldn't believe it.
