Martial Arts Returnee's Game Broadcast-Chapter 366: The Return of Mark 2
In the early days of the gate emergence, humanity was more obsessed with the existence of Awakeners than the gates themselves. They loved using the superhuman abilities bestowed upon them by the gods to act as heroes or villains, running rampant.
Then, a monster wave broke out, and a few countries collapsed. Maritime and aerial trade were blocked, and the world economy collapsed.
What followed were continuous national disappearances.
Countless coastal nations ventured out to the sea to survive, only to meet their doom there as well.
“You guys. Do you even know where you are?”
“We know. Ocean World Guild’s private property.”
The Ocean World Guild, one of South Korea’s top teen guilds, was formed by a group of Awakeners and exiled government officials carrying the legacy of a fallen nation.
Zwei, a high-ranking member of the Ocean World Guild, stepped out in defiance of the Black Faction’s invasion with a look of disbelief.
Following Zwei, the Taiwanese Prince, who had returned Taiwan to a monarchy under an Awakener’s influence, came the Taiwanese Royal Knight Order.
Of course, Taiwan was not originally a monarchy.
It was forcibly returned to a monarchy by power.
The knight order was a group of Awakeners who prioritized violence and were one of the criminal hotbeds.
“And a den for drug addicts.”
“You should learn to watch your words, woman.”
Jessica, a new member of the Black Faction, joined the mission to rescue Mark 2 with high hopes.
Admiring the Gwang-Ak Sword, Lee Jeong-woon, she had joined the guild to prove herself.
“I’m so annoyed! I’ve already failed to meet Gwang-Ak Sword senior, and now I’m falling behind Whisper’s underlings!”
Gwang-Ak Sword was no weaker than Whisper.
Jessica wanted to prove herself by outperforming Whisper’s minions in the Mark 2 rescue operation, but reality was harsh.
Despite the excuse that they were on private property, the only thing waiting for them were drug dealers and foreign criminals.
<Awakener Ability - Knife Holder>
<Evolutionary Trait - Multiple Creation (E)>
<Evolutionary Trait - Regen (C)>
Dozens of knives appeared above her head, and the Ocean World Awakeners were horrified.
“Clean them up.”
The knives flew through the air with a sharp “ping,” as if shot from a tightly pulled bowstring.
A flurry of blood began to spill, and the battle started.
Beep. Beep.
As Jessica was cutting through enemies with her subordinates, she felt the vibration on her wrist.
“It’s me.”
“Jessica, we found Mark 2.”
“Is it close?”
“Well, we’ve gathered all the necessary data and powered up, so there’s no need for Mark 2 anymore... The Mecha Elephant handed over Mark 2.”“What’s that? You’re saying there’s no need to fight anymore.”
The subordinates, who had been fiercely battling, subtly lowered their weapons and looked around at Jessica with awkward expressions.
After the call ended with a terse “Okay,” Jessica snapped her smartwatch shut and looked around.
“What are you all doing?”

“Uh... Jessica, isn’t it over? Shouldn’t we stop fighting now?”
“So, are we just going to leave the drug dealers?”
With a cold sneer, Jessica scattered daggers on the ground.
<Awakener Ability - Knife Holder>
<Evolutionary Trait - High-Speed Creation (D)>
<Evolutionary Trait - High-Speed Movement (B)>
The daggers buried into the ground shot out from the ceiling and pillars, decapitating Taiwanese Prince.
“Respectable senior, I can’t just leave without doing something to save face.”
The average skill of Ha Eung Eung’s Awakeners was extremely high, but that didn’t mean she was weak just because she had suffered the humiliation of being defeated by Dashman in the Internal Conflict.
Black Faction attacks continued until Jessica, like her, had defeated all enemies.
Ha Eung Eung swung a branch she had picked up from the yard like a whip against the ground.
Whoosh!!
With a deafening noise, dust rose from the ground.
[Hurry up.]
If it hit her skin, her limbs would be severed, and her organs would be shattered. The three members of the Maid Squad turned pale.
“Sorry, Jiwoo... Did I hurt your feelings by teasing you about spilling too much broth? I won’t make any more jokes about drowning in broth, and I’ll help you with sea rescue from now on...”
“I’m sorry, sympathy. I teased you, thinking that a grown-up who can’t even meet a woman must have some mental issue. I was too hasty, I won’t tease you again.”
“The school bullying culprit shouldn’t be part of the School Girl’s clique... I’ll try to improve my mindset and follow proper professional ethics from now on...”
Jiwoo was still looking sad.
“Wait, this is an apology, right? Not some roundabout criticism, right?”
[Please reconcile now, it’s getting annoying.]
As Jiwoo was about to speak up with a hurt expression, a black hole suddenly opened in the nearby wall, and with a loud crash, a long nose slammed into Jiwoo, sending him flying outside the building.
“Pwoooo─!”
As the three members of the Forgiveness Squad and Ha Eung Eung stepped outside, the Mecha Elephant opened its speakers.
“Ahh. Ahh. The sound’s coming through well. Hello, Silent Swordsman.”
Dr. Johann II.
The disgusting messenger of the entity appeared.
“I saw your broadcast, it was quite impressive. From surviving the Monster King’s blow in the Boss Rush to improving the techniques of the Demon General along the way, truly incredible. Did you modify the Demon General’s technique midway?”
[You recognized it well.]
“Heh heh. I have a good eye.”
[Too bad you can’t remember the warning to stop messing around.]
“Don’t ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) be too mad. If Mark 2 gets stronger, it’ll benefit you too, won’t it?”
As Ha Eung Eung’s mood calmed, the ground around her visibly froze.
The Silent Swordsman, an Awakener with elemental freezing powers, was said to lower the air temperature with every breath, causing extreme cold.
With each step, the ground crackled with freezing sounds.
The Frog Man was particularly terrified.
“That person... Is he going to do what he did in Gladiator Training again?”
The Cold Law Swordsman who turned the capital of Daehan Cheolguk, Neon Han-yang, into a Blizzard Hell during a cold wave... How could they not be horrified at the ominous signs of him repeating his past hellish acts at the Ha Nam Pa headquarters?
Back then, it was just a game, but here, it’s reality.
If you freeze to death, you die for real.
“Mother, don’t get too angry. Mark 2 was just playing at Papa’s house.”
[Mark 2?]
“It’s the honey candy Papa gave me. I can’t give it to anyone, even if they want it.”
Dr. Johann II, fully satisfied after enhancing Mark 2 and completing the power-up, opened a warp gate and crashed into the wall.
Mark 2, who had been sitting on the Mecha Elephant’s back, waved her hand, munching on the honey candy.
“Did you really just play around?”
The people involved in the search for Mark 2 couldn’t hide their frustration.
Mark 2, concerned for her, showed off her new feature in front of Ha Eung Eung’s team.
“It’s the costume creation feature.”
Pop. Pop. Pop.
“Oooh.”
“From a pure country girl dress to a white tee and jeans casual girlfriend look, and even a two-tone frilled blouse work outfit, this is really amazing!”
“Sir, Dashman... Why do you know so much about women’s clothing?”
“Don’t misunderstand. I just looked at a women’s magazine, Maxim, a little during my army service.”
“Ah, I see. Well, it can’t be helped, army service.”
Realizing that he wasn’t interested in women’s clothing because of relationships, Eve’s expression softened, and she approached Mark 2 with a more relaxed face.
“Child Mark 2, come here.”
“Aunt Eve?”
Mark 2, with an innocent look, ran over.
Eve placed both her fists on Mark 2’s crown.
“It’s a punishment.”
“Ahhahaha-!”
Like a mischievous child being teased, Mark 2’s head was spun around with Eve’s fists.
Her pitiful cries made it look sad, but recalling all the struggles from before, everyone thought it was deserved.
For Mark 2, who had only ever been showered with love, it was a shocking experience.
“Shock. Why is no one helping me? Mark 2 is in pain and misery.”
“That’s because Mark 2, even after being kidnapped by Papa, calmly donated and made us suffer.”
The lecture continued as Eve’s spinning punishment on Mark 2’s head did not stop.
Mark 2 struggled to escape her fists by activating all kinds of miscellaneous features, but Eve blocked the gaps with magic, keeping her composure.
For Eve, a war hero who fought in one of humanity’s toughest frontline gate wars, a flashbang-level distraction or fire extinguisher smoke was nothing.
Even as her body began to rise, Mark 2 stomped on her foot, and the pain caused her to tremble and return to the ground.
“Isn’t all this new functionality worthless?”
“Why is everything that came out from the Boss fight like this?”
“She’s cute, so I guess it doesn’t matter.”
“That’s true.”
While the spectators were enjoying the warmth, Eve was dead serious.
“Since there’s no sign of repentance, 1 minute extension.”
“Confusion. Fear. Please save me, Mama.”
Ha Eung Eung sighed lightly and opened her notebook.
[This is enough.]
“Sister Ha Eung Eung, you’re too lenient.”
[If she had been injured, I’d understand, but she came back unscathed.]
Mark 2 ran over to Ha Eung Eung and hugged her.
Though they looked alike, the atmosphere between them felt distinctly like that of a parent and child, making those around them clap with warmth.
Clap clap clap.
Ha Eung Eung gently stroked Mark 2’s head.
“Fear. Is Mama scolding Mark 2 too?”
[Eve Auntie already scolded enough, I don’t need to.]
“Happiness.”
[But next time, if Papa kidnaps me like that again, please resist.]
“Confusion. Why should I? Dr. Johann II is Mark 2’s creator and Papa.”
The mental level of a child is profound.
Using too complex adult language would only confuse her and lead to repeating the same mistakes.
How could she explain things at her level?
After much thought, Ha Eung Eung carefully chose her words.
After tearing several pages from her notebook, she was finally able to show her without tearing any more.
[Papa can’t be Papa anymore.]
“Confusion. Why?”
[Because I will take away his parental rights.]
Using Dr. Johann II’s Awakener ability, Mark 2’s life had been extended.
In order to avoid causing the same chaos again, she had to find another way for Mark 2 to live.
Ha Eung Eung had one solution in mind.
[Shall we go visit Grandma together?]
“Confusion. Does Mark 2 have a grandma?”
[Yes. She flies on clouds and is very strong, just like me.]
Ha Eung Eung thought to herself.
Azishahb would probably be happy to see her grandchild, right?
