The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2-Chapter 633:

Flash. Flash...!

Light continued to flicker from Yggdrasil, the metallic tree.

[Fragment of the Key of Life detected.]

[Secondary authorized user of 'Yggdrasil'.]

A screen appeared on the metallic surface,

Once again recognizing Seong Jihan as a secondary authorized user.

Seeing this, Noah,

[Secondary authorized user... How can you, a being from the server...]

Her Divine Eye sparkled in disbelief.

"Well, thanks to that, I also found out about the criminal rehabilitation in the organs you gave me."

"Criminal rehabilitation...? No. That was only used for death row inmates sent on stellar exploration..."

So it was something used on death row inmates.

No wonder the name didn't sit well with him.

[...So that's why you didn't fully accept the light organs earlier.]

"Well, something like that."

As he said this, Seong Jihan looked at the screen that had appeared on Yggdrasil's surface.

It was good that Yggdrasil recognized him as a secondary authorized user.

But after that, nothing else appeared.

Wondering what to do next, Seong Jihan tapped the screen.

[Call up the available authorities. Something should come up then.]

The Red Administrator, who had been watching his actions, spoke up.

As expected of someone who mainly dealt with this kind of thing, he didn't hesitate.

"What authorities can I use?"

[Calling up list of available authorities...]

The number of authorities that appeared was too many to count at a glance.

'Server creation? Was Yggdrasil involved in creating servers too?'

Seong Jihan tapped on 'Server Creation' which appeared at the top of the list.

Then,

['Server Creation' requires main authorized user permission.]

The answer came back that he couldn't execute this as he wasn't the main authorized user.

For this and others, whenever he pressed something, a message appeared saying it was impossible without being the main user. freewebnoveℓ.com

He frowned.

'Nothing seems to work.'

Was the main authorized user Urd at the center of Ark?

If everything was locked down like this, there was no place to use secondary authority.

As Seong Jihan was clicking his tongue,

[Yggdrasil's main authority holder is still Urd. Don't give her a reason to detect something unusual by fiddling around. Take your hand off quickly.]

The Divine Eye sparkled, speaking faster than usual.

[Yes. I was wrong earlier. I couldn't fully trust you, a being from the server, so I tried to install minimal safeguards.]

"Criminal rehabilitation is a minimal safeguard? A brainwashing function used on death row inmates?"

[...I apologize for that again. But touching Yggdrasil like this is suicidal. The Infinite Sword might come here after detecting an anomaly in the outer area!]

"The Infinite Sword is coming?"

[Yes. Didn't you experience it in the Southern Sector? If an anomaly is detected within Ark, the Infinite Sword will move. So, stop this pointless attempt. From now on, I won't deceive you and will cooperate sincerely.]

Noah was suggesting they cooperate again, saying not to keep trying and risk calling the Infinite Sword when he couldn't use secondary authority anyway.

Seong Jihan raised the corner of his mouth at her proposal.

"I see... So Yggdrasil's authority operation is tightly controlled by the main authorized user. You can't do anything, right? So don't do anything foolish and let's cooperate."

[That's right. So...]

"But isn't it strange? How did you do it when you're not the main authorized user?"

[That's...]

When Noah couldn't answer Seong Jihan's question,

Tap. Tap.

Seong Jihan tapped Yggdrasil and changed his question.

"What can a secondary user do without the main authorized user's permission?"

Then,

The countless authorities that had appeared all disappeared,

Leaving only one item.

[Revoke Lower Authorized User's Authority]

So you can revoke the authority of users lower than secondary?

As Seong Jihan was about to press it,

Ziiing...

Below it, additional items appeared in semi-transparent letters.

[Modify 'Yggdrasil's Registry']

[Update Server Change Data]

[Create Photonic Organs]

The color of these letters was gradually fading compared to the authority revocation.

Somehow, it felt like these weren't authorities that could always be used, but items that could be used temporarily.

And,

"The additional authorities that appeared, Noah. These are functions you've used or were planning to use here, right? How did you do it?"

[...]

Noah remained silent at Seong Jihan's question, then,

Ziiing...!

She suddenly tried to fly towards Yggdrasil.

But,

"Where do you think you're going?"

Seong Jihan expanded his Blue domain to block her movement.

The Divine Eye couldn't budge in mid-air.

[Ugh. I knew you could dominate space but... to even catch my eye...?]

Noah, who had been sparkling like that,

[Id! What are you doing? Come here and protect me!]

She scolded Id, who was just rolling his eyes in the corner, unable to grasp the situation.

"No, why should I...?"

[Are you going to just watch the server being reckless? He's lost his judgment over a minor function addition!]

"Criminal rehabilitation isn't exactly a minor function...? I don't particularly want to get involved."

[No. Id, you stupid...]

"Oh. I'm too stupid to understand the situation. So I'll just stay put."

That Id.

He must have taken it to heart being called stupid by Noah so many times.

Seeing that the one with the Power of Protection wasn't likely to intervene, Seong Jihan,

'I need to act quickly before the temporary authorities disappear.'

He immediately started using the authorities.

* * *

'First, modifying Yggdrasil's registry isn't much...'

Among the temporary authority items, the topmost 'Modify Yggdrasil's Registry'.

Names and data were listed here.

These must be the highest-ranking power holders among the new human government.

'In the end, because of these guys' greed, innocent new humans were merged into the Transcendent Being.'

Thinking about that, he was tempted to delete names from the list and let them fail, but,

'If I change too many things, the Infinite Sword might be dispatched as Noah said.'

Seong Jihan decided not to touch this list for now.

Then he pressed the next item, 'Update Server Change Data'.

[Checking major changes in Server 4212...]

[Stat 'Blue' has been added to Server 4212.]

[Data on stat 'Blue' is incomplete. Update not possible.]

[Modified Gift, Fusion Vessel has been added to Server 4212.]

[Data on Gift Fusion Vessel is incomplete. Update not possible.]

[Game type 'Tower' has been added to Server 4212.]

[Game type 'Tower' is being updated to the database.]

Yggdrasil, which had pinpointed Blue, Fusion Vessel, and Tower as major changes,

Immediately updated the game type 'Tower' on the spot.

'If I had registered stat Blue too, it would have been registered in this way.'

It was good that he kept Blue thoroughly hidden.

But that aside,

'To think even the Fusion Vessel would be considered a major change.'

The Fusion Vessel created by the mixture of Blue and Void within Yoon Seah.

He thought it might have special power since it wasn't easily analyzed but he didn't expect it to be noted as one of the major changes.

'When I go back, I need to look into it properly.'

Thinking that, he pressed the last authority item, 'Create Photonic Organs'.

Then,

[Do you want to create organs?]

[Please register player data to create optimal organs.]

A message appeared saying to register data if he wanted to receive good ones.

"That won't do. Just give me plenty of standard organs. Without any strange functions."

As soon as Seong Jihan finished speaking,

Thud. Thud. Thud.

More than dozens of light spheres started falling to the ground.

"Inventory."

Seeing this, Seong Jihan habitually said that, but unlike in the server, the inventory didn't open.

"Ah. Inventory doesn't work in Ark?"

"Right. Only 'normal people' can use that."

"Normal people could use inventory too?"

While the humans in the server were under BattleNet's control, so that made sense,

The normal people of the new humanity could do all sorts of things.

'There's a reason they treat us like primitives.'

Thinking this, Seong Jihan made all the light spheres float.

"Aren't you going to absorb those?"

"I'll absorb them right before connecting to the server."

It didn't feel right to change all his internal organs here.

After Seong Jihan gathered what he needed,

Swish...

The three authority items written in faint letters disappeared.

Then,

[...You. You weren't as greedy as I thought. Good. The Infinite Sword won't move immediately.]

Noah, still bound by the Blue domain, spoke as if relieved.

[But if we stay here too long, we'll be detected by the Sword... Let's leave quickly before the Infinite Sword comes. And please release my bindings too.]

"No. There's still one thing I haven't done."

As he said this, Seong Jihan pressed his finger on the authority that secondary users could use,

[Revoke Lower Authorized User's Authority]

Ziiing...

[Do you want to revoke the authority of secondary authorized user 'Noah'?]

Noah's name appeared there.

"I thought it was strange how you skillfully controlled Yggdrasil when we entered this sector. So you were a secondary authorized user too? Urd left you alone? Don't tell me you're on the same side?"

[...As a former supervisor, I just had some hidden methods.]

The Divine Eye flashed strongly.

[More importantly, I warn you. If you revoke my authority, the Infinite Sword will come here soon. Can you handle that?]

"The Infinite Sword will come..."

[Yes. Authority revocation is a major issue. Of course, the Sword will intervene.]

Seong Jihan frowned.

This Noah.

She had been threatening with the Infinite Sword since earlier.

Whether this was fake or real, he wasn't sure yet.

But one thing was certain.

'If it weren't for that damn sword, it would be easier to act.'

He thought of Dongbang Sak.

The original owner of the Infinite Sword,

He said he'd find a way if he could just be summoned to Ark.

Saying he might figure something out if he could see it with his own eyes.

'But summoning is the problem...'

Even in the server, wasn't Dongbang Sak the one who couldn't be taken out of the Tower?

How could he bring him out here?

"It's not like I can summon the Tower..."

As Seong Jihan muttered this,

Ziiing...

[Based on the updated database, implementing game type 'Tower'.]

A message appeared on Yggdrasil where he had his hand.

Flash...!

Light flashed beneath Seong Jihan's feet.

And,

Whoosh...

From the floor, extending up to his knees,

A semi-transparent form of a tower began to take shape.

'...No way. This is the Tower?'

As Seong Jihan was looking at this in disbelief,

Flash...!

At the top floor of the Tower,

"Hmm...? Where is this..."

A finger-sized Dongbang Sak appeared.
