The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2

Chapter 666:

[Stripping the authority of the Ark, the system, and even the Transcendent Beings... The intention is good, but is that possible?]

The Red Administrator pointed in the direction where the Transcendent Being was.

[How can you strip their authority when we can't even resist the light of the Transcendent Being now? If we meddle carelessly and can't even maintain the status quo, that would be more dangerous.]

"...This guy. You suddenly pop up and seem quite eager to maintain the current system."

[Shouldn't we prevent the destruction of Server 4212?]

After learning that the server was not a virtual world but reality.

Jiang Shang, who wanted to take revenge on the remnants of the Black Administrator left in the server connection device except for the helmet, and the Red Administrator, who urged a more realistic response.

Rationally speaking, the Red Administrator's words were correct.

If they responded emotionally here and the server was reset, everything would be over in the end.

"If we continue like this, I won't be able to hold out."

[You?]

"Yes."

[Why can't you hold out? Haven't you prepared some means to stay in the Ark?]

"If I just endure, I'll fall for Mitra's intentions."

Mitra, who tried to control the Transcendent Being by creating several beings equal to himself.

He was firmly convinced that even if he left Seong Jihan alone, he would eventually join him.

"Ever since the analysis was activated, my view of the world has changed. If time passes like this, I'll end up thinking like Mitra."

[Like Mitra...]

"I'll start seeing my own kind as insects, and perceive the world that appears as code as something I can overturn at any time without caring."

Except for a few beings that the system couldn't understand, a world that appeared completely as code.

Seong Jihan thought that it wasn't just about seeing the code.

If additions and modifications were made through the system, he could create anything similar to it.

'If I completely copy the code of my sister that I saw earlier and create a new one, maybe a perfect replication could be achieved...'

Of course, he had no intention of doing this.

If he succeeded in creating or modifying through code, he would truly become a being completely detached from humans.

He would become like the 'Mitra divine race' that Mitra spoke of.

[So in the end, you need to deal with things here before your own kind starts to look like worthless insects.]

"Well, to put it simply, yes."

[Hmm. I don't quite understand why you place such high value on your old kind rather than ascending to a higher level of existence...]

Seong Jihan quietly observed the red giant at those words.

Come to think of it, this Red Administrator also used the 'enemy race' for his own needs.

In a way, Mitra and this guy were similar, just on different scales.

"Hey. If you're going to follow Mitra, say it quickly. I'll annihilate you right away."

[No. I was overwhelmed by him and the New Humanity's technology before, but it's different now. Even that excellent system of the New Humanity couldn't fully grasp me, right?]

He seemed so pleased that he wasn't perfectly analyzed.

The Red Administrator, whose spirits had lifted since then.

"So?"

[If you collapse the current system, I'll help actively. And later, I'll create my own system. A more perfect system through my abilities that even the system couldn't grasp...]

Quite ambitious, wasn't he.

Jiang Shang frowned as he watched the Red Administrator openly reveal his ambitions.

"Wouldn't it be better to kill him now? Such a person is likely to become a problem later."

[Don't worry about that. I'll go far away, not getting involved with you. I don't want my system to be ruined by monsters like you either.]

"Hearing that makes me think we should nip this in the bud even more..."

"We need his help right now. Let's leave him be for now. We can deal with him anytime."

"Hmm..."

At Seong Jihan's words, Jiang Shang glared at the red giant but sheathed his sword.

"Fine. But if he does anything foolish, I'll cut off his head immediately."

"Yes. Please do so."

"Then... what do you plan to do now?"

Seong Jihan smiled at Jiang Shang's question.

"For now, I'm thinking of doing things that the Black Administrator would hate."

"Things he would hate?"

"Yes."

Then Seong Jihan recalled when he encountered Urd's main body before.

-First, we need to saturate the server's data.

The method Urd first mentioned when trying to tempt Seong Jihan to share the Transcendent Being's power.

Before, he thought it was just nonsense to catch Seong Jihan off guard, but.

'It's suspicious that the Black Administrator specifically called himself a data management AI.'

Honestly, if he was pretending to be an AI, there were many names he could have chosen.

There must be some reason for specifically saying 'data management'.

Thinking this, Seong Jihan opened his mouth.

"Let's try saturating the data."

* * *

At the center of the Ark.

Beep. Beep.

Seong Jihan was skillfully handling the New Humanity's machinery.

Unlike when he first encountered it, his movements were now like those of an expert.

[It seems I won't need to give advice anymore.]

The Red Administrator, who had obtained the red giant's body and followed him, watched Seong Jihan with his arms crossed.

Indeed, since absorbing Mitra's authority, unlike before, Seong Jihan's operation of the devices was incredibly skillful.

"No. It's still not enough. So don't get distracted and help with the work."

[Understood.]

As the Red Administrator discussed device-related matters with Seong Jihan, Jiang Shang quietly observed the light-bathed machines and stroked his beard.

"...I don't understand at all. What are you doing now?"

"We're trying to saturate the BattleNet system's data."

"The data?"

"Yes. For now, we're removing the defeat penalty."

"The defeat penalty..."

"When you're relegated from the lowest Bronze League, doesn't the world end?"

"I've heard about that... But did that really happen?"

Jiang Shang expressed doubt about the world being destroyed when relegated from the Bronze League.

Well.

Unlike the current humanity, the humans in his Martial Arts Empire had reached the Platinum League.

He wouldn't know the fear of being 'deleted' when relegated from a league.

"Hmm... But I don't understand what that has to do with data. What is data here in the first place?"

To Jiang Shang's question,

Beep. Beep...

Seong Jihan answered while reconfiguring the device settings.

"It's everything included in the BattleNet system area."

"Everything?"

"Yes. It includes not only the races participating in BattleNet but also the information data of the planets they live on."

"Is it that extensive...?"

"Yes."

"Huh. But can you exceed the data just by preventing relegation?"

[This guy, he's so curious while we're busy.]

The Red Administrator, who was assisting Seong Jihan, commented on Jiang Shang's continuous questioning.

[Even if you learn about the data, you won't be of any help, will you?]

"...What? Are you saying that to me?"

[Yes. I don't know why a mere weapon couldn't be analyzed... But in the end, you're just a sword, right? If you're a sword, just stand guard quietly.]

Unlike the Red Administrator, who was more than half analyzed by the BattleNet system, the Infinite Sword wasn't analyzed at all.

The Red Administrator seemed displeased by this and wasn't showing a cooperative attitude towards Jiang Shang.

"Huh... This guy. May I cut him?"

"Hmm. We need him right now. Please bear with it for a while."

This Red Administrator guy.

It was good that his spirit had risen, but it rose too much.

'No matter how strong the body he's in now is, honestly, it would be annihilated in one hit by the Infinite Sword...'

They say a day-old pup doesn't know to fear a tiger.

The Red Administrator had been excessively displaying confidence since entering the red giant's body.

While Hephaestus's body was indeed well-crafted, it would still be annihilated in one strike if Jiang Shang lost his temper...

"You too, stop picking unnecessary fights. If you're annihilated, we can't bring you back."

Despite Seong Jihan's warning,

[No. I have the right to do this.]

The Red Administrator continued to maintain his current attitude.

No.

What was he relying on to act like this?

As Seong Jihan looked at the Red Administrator with incredulous eyes,

"Alright... As my son-in-law said, I won't kill you. But I can't leave you like this. It seems you need some education."

Jiang Shang's eyebrows twitched as he started to draw his sword.

If it were Dongbang Sak, it might be different.

But the Emperor wasn't the type to quietly endure.

"For my son-in-law's sake, I'll just cut off your arms and legs."

As Jiang Shang was about to start his "education", the Red Administrator opened his palm.

[Are you sure you want to do that? I have important data here.]

Then,

Whoosh...!

As his hand burst into flames, above it, a shining sphere of light appeared.

"What's that?"

[It's the backup data of humanity from Server 2101.]

"What...?"

Jiang Shang's eyes widened at those words.

Seong Jihan, also surprised, opened his mouth.

"What? Why do you have that?"

[Urd backed it up inside this body. At first, I didn't know what this light cluster was, but as I assisted you here, I figured out its identity.]

"The backup data of our empire...?"

[Yes. Of course, due to Hephaestus's limited capacity, it seems only humanity's data was saved.]

As the Red Administrator said this, he tapped his body.

Ziiing...

A massive cluster of light floated up in front of him.

Was that the collected information of humanity from Jiang Shang's world?

As Seong Jihan was closely observing this, Jiang Shang spoke with a subdued expression.

"...If that's real, then you do have the right to pick a fight with me."

[You're quick to understand.]

"What do you want from me?"

[I don't particularly want anything from you. Ah, I'd like you to keep your mouth shut. It's hard to concentrate.]

"...Huh?"

As Jiang Shang's face reddened at being told to just shut up,

Tap. Tap.

The Red Administrator tapped the light cluster and said,

[Blue Administrator. How about we install this backup data in our server?]

"...This?"

[Our goal is to exceed the data limit, isn't it?]

Grin.

The red giant smiled deeply.

[If that's the case, stopping deletions is good, but... installing would be faster, wouldn't it?]
