Chapter 255
Chapter 255
Sung JiHan frowned as he read the message from Pithia.
"What's this? You already lost?"
No matter how much defeat was expected from a god, it wasn't over so soon, right?
"I still have a lot to gain."
Summoned to the control space of the Brain God, Sung JiHan's acquired brain stat was 120.
Even though this alone was a tremendous reward, it seemed like there was still a lot to gain from the Brain God, so he felt regretful that it ended like this.
However.
"Oh. Were you the one supplying the red current? No wonder... because of you, the Brain God's barrier wasn't easily broken."
As Pithia's message came to mind, Sung JiHan was able to feel relieved.
Perhaps continuously blowing up the enemy wasn't in vain.
It seemed that the barrier protecting the Brain God's throne had not been breached yet.
"Well, the Brain God is one of the strongest among the gods, after all."
Meanwhile.
As Sung JiHan remained silent without responding, Pithia's message began to transform strangely.
"Is it a situation where it's difficult to respond? Then try sending this."
Shuuu...
Then, below the message window, a translucent keyboard appeared.
"Well, there's everything."
Sung JiHan placed his hands still.
With the power of his soul, he tapped on the keyboard.
"Alright. I came to watch your fight."
"...You should be careful. Contrary to the predictions of the Divine Council, the barrier hasn't been breached, so the owner's mood isn't good."
"The predictions of the Divine Council? Was it you?"
"No. The owner also has his own predictions."
It seems like he has all the abilities of the gods.
Sung JiHan added the prediction ability to the wandering god's abilities and continued the conversation with Pithia.
"The owner's predictions are stronger than mine, so there's almost no chance of being wrong... I asked you to find out how things turned out this time because it went completely off track."
"You're a scout, huh."
"That's my role during conquest. Anyway, you. If you're discovered by a god, it won't end well, so it's better to run away quickly. You saw the red current and understood some of the connections, but..."
"Just log out."
"Well... if you're caught by a god, it might not work. If you think the barrier is broken, run away immediately."
Sung JiHan recalled the black hand that directly intervened in the battle with Dong Bangsak and the BattleNet map.
The power of a god was enough to destroy the rules of BattleNet.
It wouldn't be surprising if a god prevented Sung JiHan from logging out.
"If things go wrong, I should log out immediately."
While thinking that, Sung JiHan continued typing.
"Aren't you a god's servant? You're worrying about me quite a bit."
"There's no one else but you to determine whether the god is Gilgamesh or not."
"Hmm. But is that really important?"
"Yes. From my perspective."
"Why?"
"That... I can't tell you right now. Let's talk about it after awakening Gilgamesh."
"You have a lot of secrets."
"...There are circumstances. Anyway, I'll report that the god hasn't discovered you yet. Then..."
Beep!
Then, Pithia's message window disappeared.
Sung JiHan thought as he saw this.
"Anyway, if it hasn't been breached yet, there's still more to gain from the Brain God."
In that case, he should hurry and urge action through his actions.
Thud.
Sung JiHan let go of the strands of brain electricity he was holding in his hands.
"Log out."
He immediately logged out.
Thud.
"Uncle! Where were you? I was about to go to Sophia's house."
"Oh. I was summoned by Sung JiHan."
"Wow, you were summoned by Sung JiHan?"
As Sung JiHan opened the door and came out, two women approached him.
"Yes, Sophia. Are you going home?"
"Um... JiHan. If you came, can you stay a little longer?"
When Sung JiHan returned, Sophia tried to sit down again, but...
[Sung JiHan's 'Brain Core' asks urgently why he logged out.]
[The Brain Cores were expending energy, why are you in such a hurry to come back?]
As soon as Sung JiHan logged out...
From the Brain Cores, messages were pouring in.
"Oh. But I have to go back again. I logged out temporarily to regain my composure."
"...Composure? For Sung JiHan?"
"Uncle, how do you regain composure for Sung JiHan? Isn't it the opposite?"
Yoon SaeA and Sophia.
Both were players with supporting Sung JiHan, so they knew how ridiculous it sounded to regain composure.
"There are cases like that. The side that is originally regretful loses."
[Sung JiHan's 'Brain Core' says that it looks like the barrier is about to break, and asks you to come quickly.]
"This time, I'll display the screen carefully and prepare recovery items, so please give me one more chance."
"Do you also hate the Brain Cores? Are you going to let me die like this?"
With Sung JiHan gone, the vacant seat seemed even more urgent to the Brain Core than when it first made the call.
He smirked and nodded his head.
"Really? I was going to rest at home, but if you prepared like that... come again. Then."
Rumble...
As if waiting for those words, a small lion appeared from thin air.
"Wow, a little lion."
"So cute."
They found the reduced form of the Brain Core adorable, but...
"Cute? Ha. A lowly race... utterly worthless!"
Zap! Zap!
The lion got angry at those words and released electricity in all directions.
Sung JiHan prevented it from spreading further and said a word.
"Hey. Don't get angry at someone for no reason."
...Kuk. The barrier is already weakening! The lightning is disappearing rapidly! This is really too much!
"Too much? What? Don't tell me it's me?"
Cough. Cough... No. Anyway, let's go again. I'm ready!
"You displayed the screen and prepared recovery items?"
"Recovery items? Uncle looks completely fine..."
"No. I'm a bit tired. I need some rest."
Sung JiHan shook his head and brought his finger to his forehead.
"Ready... done..."
With his teeth clenched, the lion replied with great effort.
"So, do well when you have the chance."
...
"Open the window. Put the logout option like before."
"Understood..."
Flash!
As Sung JiHan disappeared into the Brain Core's control space again.
Yoon SaeA and Sophia looked at each other.
"That... seems like Sung JiHan, right?"
"Yeah. JiHan even bullies the Brain Core."
"Sophia, when did you learn the word 'bully'?"
"It's one of the most commonly used adjectives for JiHan."
"People are so harsh. Uncle is being unfair..."
Yoon Sae-ah was momentarily irritated by Sophia's words.
"...It's not entirely wrong, is it?"
Thinking about Sung JiHan and the top guild's position at the top, which had an impact on the world's battle net industry.
I understood why the issue of unfair treatment came up.
"Well then, Sae-ah. I'm going home!"
"Yeah, go ahead."
As Sophia returned home like that...
Sung JiHan, summoned again in the control space of the brain, had a glint in his eyes.
"It's definitely different from before."
It was a place where electricity was sparking just a while ago.
Now, there were giant screens everywhere.
There were also tables and delicious-looking fruits on top of them.
Although the current was still flowing strongly, the control space had transformed into a place where people could live.
Creak...
Sung JiHan grabbed two strands of red current that shot up as soon as he arrived.
With one hand, he pointed at the fruit.
"What is this?"
[Didn't you say you lacked stamina? It's the flesh of life.]
"Ah, I see. I'll eat it well."
Thump. Thump.
The fruit floated in the air and entered Sung JiHan's mouth.
At first, seeing the multiple fruits, I thought my stamina would increase by about 1 or 2.
"Oh... This is..."
Unexpectedly, the fruit contained the vitality that was inherent in the World Tree Union.
It wasn't comparable to the seed of life I had eaten before, but still, when I put the fruit in my mouth, I felt like the vitality that had disappeared permanently with the use of the Heavenly River Divine Power was being replenished.
"Is this fruit related to the World Tree Union?"
[Uh, um... Yes. How did you know?]
"I've eaten the seed of life before."
[Oh, really? Didn't you say you lacked stamina? So, I just brought something suitable for mortals.]
In response to Sung JiHan's question, the brain rambled on.
In fact, this fruit came from the World Tree Union, which was incredibly ominous.
It had been stored in the warehouse for a long time without being consumed.
But since Sung JiHan kept asking for more, it was provided to him with a feeling of being overwhelmed.
"This guy... He even consumed the seed of the World Tree? He really did everything."
However, the person who received the fruit was happily putting it in his mouth.
That was to be expected.
"I was disappointed because I didn't have a source of vitality. This is great."
As Sung JiHan, it was an unexpected opportunity to replenish vitality from an unexpected source.
He put all the fruits on the table into his mouth and shook the empty plate.
"Hey, if there's more left, bring me more."
"Alright, alright. But shouldn't you start working again for now...?"
"Ah, right. I should do what I received."
Since his stomach was full and he had gained a considerable amount of vitality.
Sung JiHan began to infuse his own lightning into the shallow lightning.
"I should infuse it more powerfully to make him feel the worth of giving me more fruits."
Creak...!
The lightning shone more intensely than before.
The enemy, seeing that, relaxed his expression.
"You've become stronger than before... Thank you! Then, let's go back to defense. Please put in a little more effort!"
"Yeah. If I bring more fruits, I'll use more power."
"If you can use more power, use it now. Don't save your strength!"
"No, this is just fruit power."
[...I understand.]
Crackle...
The enemy disappeared after taking a deep breath.
"Now, where should I go sightseeing?"
Sung JiHan looked at the screens floating around in all directions.
Among the ten or so screens, the largest one displayed a wandering warrior.
His face was hidden in darkness.
He stood still with his arms crossed.
[Is this all the power you have, warrior? Die!]
And in front of him.
A hole began to appear in the massive wall of lightning.
And what emerged from there was a space filled with bright white light.
[Astrophe!]
Crackle...
A huge window of light appeared within it.
And it flew towards the warrior.
Zeus' power, the divine lightning Astrophe.
It aimed at the warrior with much greater force than when it came at Sung JiHan.
Especially.
"Unlike when it was used on me, it seems to be mixed with explosive power. Did the supply to the wall go that way?"
Zeus' Astrophe was much stronger than before, with red currents mixed in.
However.
With a simple movement of his finger.
The window of light split into hundreds of branches and exploded in mid-air.
"What...!"
And.
"That's quite useful."
As the warrior opened his palm.
Flash! Flash!
Circular holes appeared around him.
Dozens of them.
And they began to appear, surpassing hundreds.
"Could this be... my Astrophe...!?"
"Go."
Kwakwakwakwak!
A brain spear much larger than Zeus' lightning.
It struck the wall of lightning forcefully.
"Hmm. So this is how the Heavenly Thunder God's Judgment was born..."
The warrior's Heavenly Thunder God's Judgment was similar in appearance to what Sung JiHan used.
But the scale itself was different, perhaps because the user was a warrior.
A brain spear that seemed to cover the entire world.
However.
"But... something's strange."
Sung JiHan frowned as he saw the warrior's brain spear striking the wall of lightning.
"Zeus' Astrophe was clearly mixed with explosive power, but there's no explosive power in the warrior's stolen version."
If he's going to take the technique, shouldn't he also take the explosive power?
But the warrior was displaying the same power as Sung JiHan's Heavenly Thunder God's Judgment - Heavenly Thunder God's Judgment that he learned in his previous life.
Clearly, Zeus' Astrophe was not in that form.
"Hmm..."
Why didn't he take the explosive power?
As Sung JiHan pondered this question.
"..."
His subordinate, Dong BangSak, silently watched the warrior from a distance.
