"Kill Gilgamesh?"
"That's right."
Seong Ji-han frowned.
Gilgamesh.
He is the 5th servant of the God of War and has the constellation name 'King of the Beginning'.
Judging from what appeared on the surface, he was friendly to Seong Ji-han.
Not only did he warn me about Longinus, but he also taught me how to use the God of Heavenly Arms – Enkidu.
Of course, I couldn't know his true intentions, but I couldn't just listen to what the owner of the arena said and be hostile towards him.
Seong Ji-han slowly opened his mouth.
"… … Does this mean that as long as Gilgamesh is alive, I will receive an invitation even if I clear Battle.net?"
"That's right."
Jiyiing.
The face of the cosmic arena owner changed again.
The face revealed this time.
[Inviting Earthlings to Battle.net.]This was the invitation humanity received from Battle.net in 2010.
"Humanity is terribly weak. Sending them a Battle.net invitation means the extinction of the species. We are careful about that. "As a species, we have to go far beyond the line we have set for an invitation to be given."
"And the one who crossed that line was Gilgamesh? However, he is from a long time ago. If you're going to send out invitations, shouldn't you have done so a long time ago?"
"He has not been detected until now. He stayed hidden, avoiding the eyes of the Void. However, it was revealed that he was alive and that he was a traitor. The invitations will continue to fly."
"If you want to catch a traitor like that, you can go to the castle where Gilgamesh is. "Why are you attacking Earth?"
"Muttering… … ."
The face of the owner of the arena turned grim this time.
Let's look at that bleak planet with countless constellations floating around.
Seong Ji-han noticed that the owner of the arena was also aware of Tuseong.
"We cannot intervene there. "There is an agreement between the 'Wandering Martial God', the owner of Tuseong, and his superiors that we are not aware of."
"So Earth?"
"yes. Gilgamesh's foundation is ultimately humanity on Earth. If they are exterminated, he will also lose his base and lose his power."
"… … "How do you know all this?"
Drurr.
At Seong Ji-han's question, purple chains appeared behind the arena owner's back.
Compared to the chains of the Heavenly Armed God, the energy of life is not felt.
A chain that feels much more powerful than that of the void.
"'Void Restraint'. This is the power I taught to Gilgamesh. Unlike the prototype, it suits him. Although it has undergone special transformation. "Because I have this connection, I know something about him."
"So you are on the Void side."
"you're right. That's a pretty high-ranking position, too. "Because I'm managing the arena."
The owner of the arena who introduces himself as a high-ranking official of the void.
Those words reminded Seong Ji-han of his older sister, Seong Ji-ah.
"Then, do you know how the Void Witch can return to normal?"
"Void Witch?"
When the Void Witch suddenly appeared while talking about Gilgamesh, the owner of the arena, who had remained silent for a moment, changed his face again.
It was the petrified form of Seongjia.
"Witch of Earth… … You're a witch with some pretty good talents. "At this level, it will be of great use even in the Void."
Sigh.
When the owner of the arena stretched out his hand, a purple key was created in the air.
"If you take care of Gilgamesh, I will give you the key under my authority."
"The key?"
"That's right. "If you remove the witch's lock, things will go back to normal."
'In an unexpected place, I found a clue to free my sister.'
Seong Ji-han quietly looked at the key.
To the liberation of humanity and the return of my older sister.
The reward given for dealing with Gilgamesh was considerable.
but.
'The question is whether you can believe that.'
Everyone had to listen to the words of the beings that came out of the Space League at least once.
In particular, the owner of the arena, whose face is in the background of space, looks very suspicious even from the outside.
I couldn't completely trust those words.
Seong Ji-han showed a reserved attitude for now.
"I am now just a player moving up from Diamond to Master League. "It's still hard to fight against him."
"Hehe. Of course, I'm not saying you should kill them right away. "With your abilities, you won't be able to kill him."
Step by step. Step by step.
The owner of the arena nodded and stepped back.
"If you want to liberate humanity from Battle.net, and if you want to return the Void Witch to her original state... … "Please remember this."
"I won't take note."
"Not to believe carelessly. "This is good posture."
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssss… … .
The body of the owner of the arena is slowly immersed in darkness.
"And I will turn a blind eye… … From now on, please be careful about revealing the capabilities of red managers. "If you are noticed by the Great Constellation, you will be in quite a bit of trouble."
"Thank you for the advice."
"It was nothing. "I hope it survives for a long time and continues to be a 'variable.'"
With those last words, the owner of the arena disappeared.
[The promotion match ends.] [Player Seong Ji-han is promoted to the Master League.] [You will be logged out.]* * *
[The first master, Seong Ji-han.] [The result of training is fire? Seong Ji-han's abilities were different from before.] [Seong Ji-han's promotion battle where more than half of the game video was not visible.] [Why can't it be translated? Viewers' complaints about Battle Tube are flooding in.]When Seong Ji-han went up through the Master League promotion match alone, all the news covered the news of Seong Ji-han's promotion.
The spotlight is so enormous that it's hard to believe it's falling on one player.
However, considering Seong Ji-han's proportion of humanity's Battlenet power, this was by no means excessive.
-Why can't I see the screen?
-The broadcast was stopped every time something transcendental appeared.
-Is Seong Ji-han stopping?
-Probably not? I'm sure all my loyal opponents are blocking the video.
-Even talking to the fire couldn't be translated.
-ㄹㅇ I always listen to things that are automatically translated, but when I see an alien language coming out, I thought something haha.
"This promotion match was a bit harsh."
Yoon Se-ah, who reads only the most important news when it comes out, also nodded while looking at the reply.
"what?"
"The only thing that comes out is the uncle wiping out random mobs. There was almost no video at the very end. "I can't even translate what that fireball says."
"I didn't hear what he said at first either."
The language of the Avatar that could only be heard after absorbing the power of the Avatar.
Seong Ji-han eventually listened, but viewers continued to hear Hwa-shin's words without translation.
Seong Ji-han played his Battle Tube video in rapid succession.
The video was completely deleted, starting from the scene where the remnants of the Avatar revealed their true bodies.
And on the black screen.
[This video was deleted by the owner of the arena.]Purple letters were secretly engraved.
Seong Ji-han asked Yoon Se-ah next to him.
"Do you see those letters?"
"huh? "What letters on the black screen?"
"It's concealed by the power of void. Look closely."
"Into the void? uh. wait for a sec. Inventory."
Yoon Se-ah took out a bow from her inventory.
He raised his empty energy.
Compared to before, the power definitely feels stronger.
'Hey, he's gotten pretty strong.'
Seong Ji-han sees his nephew's growth and his eyes light up.
Yoon Se-ah brought out all her strength.
"ah!"
Only then did I see the letters and was so surprised.
"It says it was deleted by the owner of the arena? and. "Were these letters hidden?"
"uh. "If you don't have the Void ability, it's an invisible text."
"that's interesting… … uh?"
Yoon Se-ah, who was looking at the letters on the black screen in fascination, suddenly opened her eyes wide.
"My mom asked my uncle if he met the owner of the arena?"
"I saw it. "He selected me as the arena's rookie."
"uh… … .'The owner of the arena. He is an absolute being in charge of one axis of the void circulation system. Are you asking, 'Isn't it possible that you went against his wishes?'"
The owner of the arena, was he an absolute figure with that much weight in the void?
Seong Ji-han thought about telling Seong Ji-ah a story about her liberation.
'It's still too early.'
He decided not to tell me about this right now.
Even if I told Seong Ji-ah, it was obvious that she would object and say it was not necessary.
There.
'The first thing to do is to find out more facts about Gilgamesh. 'It hasn't been confirmed yet whether they are enemies or not, so we can't show hostility.'
How can I trust even the words of the owner of the arena I saw for the first time?
In a situation where you don't know who is your friend and who is your enemy, you first have to watch the trend.
So instead of talking about Gilgamesh, he brought up something else.
"What is there to go against the wishes of the owner of the arena? "They just selected me as a Space Arena rookie?"
"Rookie? What's good about being a rookie... … ? ah. "Mom says the cost of attending the arena is getting cheaper."
Discount on arena participation fees.
Is that the end?
'It's too unremarkable to be an epic quest reward.'
This epic quest reward shortens the constellation candidate period by 100 days and selects you as a rookie in the Space Arena.
Since there was no actual information about becoming stronger, I thought the real reward was absorbing the Avatar and raising the enemy's stats.
Still, I thought the epic quest rewards had some side effects.
But it ends with a discount on the arena participation fee.
Is this too salty?
"Mom wants to see how much it costs to participate in the Space Arena?"
Jihan Seong heard those words and opened the system window.
Then, a new space arena item was created there.
Let's go to the Space Arena section.
[Would you like to participate in Space Arena?] [I am a rookie in Space Arena. Obtain rookie benefits.] [Space Arena rookie benefits.]-Once every 100 days, free access to the player-only arena is provided.
-Always 30% discount on participation fee.
- Exemption from one loss penalty, however, if you lose, you will lose your rookie status.
Along with the message asking if I would like to participate in the arena, the benefits of being a rookie came to mind.
There is no ability score or growth correction.
Rookie benefits only related to arena participation.
'If it's only for players, I can't sell it anywhere.'
At first, Seong Ji-han had doubts about whether these conditions were good.
'Participation fee… … 100 billion GP?'
My eyes widened when I saw the participation fee.
A participation fee of the same price as the entrance ticket to the Palace of Delight, given by the Succubus Queen.
Even with a 30% discount, it costs 70 billion GP to play one game.
What's so expensive?
"… … "What are the benefits of participating in the arena?"
"They say rapid growth is possible. Sometimes it gives you special abilities. However, there is a high probability that a strong enemy will appear, so I am told to participate with caution."
A strong enemy.
Seong Ji-han thought about the game a little while ago.
Everyone seemed to have some semblance of success in their own world.
These bland enemies were instantly ignited by Seongjihan's fire.
'At least the remnants of the Avatar held on.'
Of course, when he tried to devour Seong Ji-han, he also ended up becoming a traitor.
Anyway, the opponents in the arena were just like regular game mobs to Seong Ji-han.
'It's not a small burden, but the participation fee is a burden.'
Although Seong Ji-han once had unrivaled wealth by robbing the Thunder God of GP.
After I swept up all the fire attribute items in the Battle.net auction house to raise my dragon flame stat, I didn't have the same amount of GP left as before.
"I should go to the arena when I get a free pass."
"How much is the participation fee?"
"100 billion GP."
"… … "GP?"
"huh. "If you discount it, it's 70 billion won."
"Let's just go for free. uncle."
Yoon Se-ah came to a conclusion right away due to the exorbitant participation fee.
Seong Ji-han nodded and closed the Space Arena window.
I looked at the newly added item in the system window, below it.
[Battle.net Community]Features and communities that were locked because humanity was in the Bronze League.
After seeing this function partially unlocked while clearing the 5th round of Space Arena, Seong Ji-han asked Yoon Se-ah.
"Do you also have a community function in your system?"
"What is it?"
"Open the system window."
"I don't have any?"
Is it only you who cleared the arena that has the community function unlocked?
'I'll have to take a look.'
Seong Ji-han clicked on the Battle.net community.
