Chapter 515
JiHan looked at the screen Id brought up. After humanity was disconnected from Battle Net, they returned to being a lowest-ranked species; all of the benefits they enjoyed through the evolutions were stripped away.
The players, whose levels were all reset, caused massive chaos; the world was in utter disarray. The screen displayed the most extreme situations.
'So they locked me up here and were doing that on Earth…'
They used the Battle Net invitation to disconnect humanity? The Red Administrator was truly good at everything except fighting.
"You're being too blatant about it… What's the Black Administrator doing?"
“You should give up on the idea of receiving help from him.” Id's voice echoed from within the screen. “Now that the connection between humanity and Battle Net has been severed, the Black Administrator cannot directly intervene.”
"Compared to you, the Black Administrator sure has a lot of restrictions."
“Instead, he possesses power…”
Between the White and Black Administrator, the Black would most likely win in a direct confrontation.
JiHan fell into thought. 'It's good that Sae-ah has the hat for now, but if I stay trapped here for any longer, things will only get worse.'
He had gone to the Fight Star to finish off the Wandering Martial God and the Red Administrator, but due to the White Administrator's intervention, he'd been completely tied down.
JiHan turned his gaze away from the screen and looked at the veil that had sealed off the Fight Star.
'No matter how I look at it, there's no way to break through that.'
Although Id said it was the embodiment of the White Administrator's instincts, part of her, the power of a permanent administrator was no joke. That light veil seemed unbreachable with his power.
“This chaos, in the end, was caused by you. Everyone could be happy with the sacrifice of just one person… Can't you see humanity is suffering?”
"Yeah, I see it. Isn't this going exactly as you planned? I don't understand why you're trying to make me sign the contract by even giving up on part of your share."
“That's true. If things continue like this, the netherworld will be established, but I'm looking beyond that.”
"Beyond that?"
“The Red Administrator isn't easy to control. He needs a countermeasure. Someone like you, his polar opposite.”
"So you're planning to use me to keep him in check…?"
“That's right.”
Did everyone become like that once they became an administrator? White, Red, Green—none were sane.
"Hey, but couldn't I cooperate without having Sae-ah's hat taken off?"
“That's not possible.”
"Really? So, in the end, there's a reason you need it removed."
Id didn't respond, which was as good as an affirmation.
'They need Sae-ah for something too.'
If they were truly confident, they wouldn't have pushed the contract so much. JiHan's eyes grew cold. In that case, he needed to get back to Earth as soon as possible.
'Is there only one variable I can gain more power from?'
JiHan cast the screen aside and approached the serpent, who was being sucked into the Yin-Yang.
"Hey, since you're going to die anyway, can't you just hurry up and get sucked in?"
Perhaps, because he hadn't completely vanished yet, the serpent was still holding onto the title of 'Wandering Martial God'.
In response to JiHan's urging, a head popped out from the half-body. “It seems that my death will increase your power… I see. Are you after the title?”
"You are quick to catch on."
“Contrary to your expectations, that title is nothing more than an honor… If you’re expecting power, you'll be disappointed.” The serpent's eyes gleamed as he spoke. “But there's something better than that title…”
"What is it?"
“Let me enter your body.”

"You're saying that you want to become a parasite?" JiHan asked in disbelief.
“That's right. I only need a small space. About the size of a bug. That's enough to hold my consciousness.” The serpent declared his intention without hesitation.
"No thanks…"
“If you accept, I'll transfer the ownership of all of my remaining constellation equipment.”
"How many are there…?"
“I can transfer 51 of them.” Out of all the constellation equipment he had, only those remained?
'Getting them would certainly strengthen my power.'
Since he didn't have a way to break through the light veil, the serpent's offer was quite tempting, however, he'd placed a restriction on Dongfang. That's why accepting his offer carelessly came with significant risks.
He remained silent, lost in thought.
The Wandering Martial God urgently said, “There's no condition. Just let me bite you once.”
"You just need to bite?"
“Yes. I'll even transfer some of the artifacts beforehand.” Perhaps because his main body was still being sucked into the Yin-Yang, the Martial God offered to hand over some of the equipment first.
"Give it to me then." JiHan nodded.
[The Wandering Martial God wants to transfer 'Constellation Equipment #174'. Will you accept?]
[The Wandering Martial God wants to transfer 'Constellation Equipment #2217'. Will you accept?]
Multiple message windows appeared in front of him.
When JiHan accepted, the shattered fragments of the constellation equipment began gathering around him.
"Aren't these just broken pieces floating around?"
“The shape doesn't matter. What's important is the power contained within, and there's still a significant amount of energy left inside them… isn't that right?”
"Hmm." Just as he had said, the constellation equipment he'd transferred contained immense power, but before having them transferred, he wasn't able to feel such energy from the fragments.
Could it be that he needed to have them transferred to properly use them?
'With this, I can definitely amplify my power.'
Looking at the five constellation equipment connected to him by a red light, JiHan gauged his power. Since they were broken, energy leaked from them, but they seem good for one-time use.
“How about it?”
"Not bad…"
“Then, may I bite you now?” The serpent's head popped out from its nearly consumed body. Seeing that his main body had almost entirely been sucked in, he pleaded, truly on the verge of death.
"No."
“Why…?! Didn't you need power?!”
"Yes, I do need power." JiHan stroked the red light with his hand. "But I think I can use them without having you transfer them to me."
“What…?”
"Like this." A red light rose from JiHan and started to connect to the remaining constellation equipment. "This is fundamentally a modification of the Red's abilities."
JiHan, as the polar opposite of the Red, quickly grasped the nature of the power.
'It's good that I left some Red behind.'
He'd kept Red just in case, and it would be best to take the opportunity and use it. He connected the light to the rest of the constellation equipment.
“This was also Red…?” The serpent let out a laugh in disbelief. The only means of bargaining.
"Thanks. I never imagined there was still some power left in those fragments."
“You probably have no intention of sparing me.”
"Of course not." JiHan gestured toward the Yin-Yang. "Stop resisting and just go."
“Wait. Please… Hear me out!” Even though he had nothing left to bargain with, the Wandering Martial God desperately tried to cling to life.
The Yin-Yang, spinning in the correct direction, swallowed the serpent's tail.
[You have eliminated the 'Wandering Martial God.']
[You have defeated the Wandering Martial God and inherited the title of 'Wandering Martial God.']
A system message appeared, informing JiHan of the Wandering Martial God's demise.
[Will you equip the title of 'Wandering Martial God'?]
* Note - Once equipped, the title of 'Wandering Martial God' cannot be removed.
A warning about the title and its implications also appeared. The system felt that he needed to be warned since it would take up one title slot.
"Equip."
[You have equipped the title of 'Wandering Martial God.']
[The effect of the Gift 'Ultimate Wandering Martial God Slayer' has been greatly amplified.]
[Martial talent manifestation has increased.]
Dongfang Shuo's martial talent, which the Ultimate Martial God Slayer couldn't fully contain, started to take clearer image within JiHan.
'This…'
JiHan looked around. Thanks to his newfound power, the world was distinctly different from before.
'So this is how different the world looked to him…'
Before the Wandering Martial God transferred some of the constellation equipment, JiHan couldn't feel any power from them. After the change, just by looking at them, he could feel the hidden energy.
The light veil, which seemed impossible to breach earlier, had several weak points he could exploit.
'The parts of the barrier that sealed the ends of the Galaxy Sword Scar are noticeably weaker.'
The Galaxy Sword Scar, which had completely split the Fight Star in half, was also encompassed by the light veil, but the seal there wasn't perfect.
'Okay, I'll break through there.'
Red light erupted from JiHan, spread in all directions, and began connecting to the remaining constellation equipment floating around the Fight Star.
“Blue Administrator… Are you perhaps trying to go through the veil?” Id turned off the screen and reappeared.
It began moving its lips fast. “Even if you're a temporary administrator, can't you see the difference in power? That isn't a veil that I, 'Id' made. It was spread by the White Administrator. The only one who can break through it is the Black Administrator.”
No wonder the light veil felt so powerful. A permanent administrator had spread it.
'If it weren't for the parts touched by the Galaxy Sword Scar, breaking through might have been impossible…'
That's how overwhelming the power was, but since he could draw power from the constellation equipment, he could definitely break through that veil.
'I need to not only break through it but also return to Earth in one go.'
He would have to use the same method he used to get there.
A Yin-Yang rose from behind JiHan, and the black Yin-Yang Demon Sword appeared behind him.
“Good. Go ahead and try. That way, you'll understand the difference in power.” Id watched with a sense of satisfaction. He thought that, only after feeling the wall of a permanent administrator, JiHan would know his place.
His tone quickly changed his tone upon seeing the power contained within the constellation equipment. “Not bad…”
Even for someone like Id, who knew the absolute power of light, the energy in the Yin-Yang Demon Sword was quite threatening.
Even so, Id believed that JiHan wouldn't be able to break through the barrier—or that's what he thought until he saw JiHan being sucked into the sword.
Ultimate Wandering Martial God Slayer Unity of Body and Sword Technique: Sword Commanding Heart.
PAAF—!
JiHan's figure vanished, and the sword began following the trajectory of the Galaxy Sword Scar before reaching the veil of light.
“What…?!”
It pierced through in an instant. Then, the light enveloping the Fight Star flickered for a moment. The veil started to crumble.
“S-stop…!” Id frantically tried to stop the shadow sword, but by then, it had already disappeared.
