Chapter 425
At the Martial God’s star, Tuseong.
The Martial God looked down at Ashoka from his position.
[As you said, I allowed participation in this tournant, but… Ashoka. Can I entrust you with finishing the job?]
“Yes. If the hand can be retrieved, I will retrieve it. If not, I will seal it.”
[Good. I trust you won’t go against the prohibition.]
“This aligns with my purpose as well… I will faithfully carry it out.”
The Martial God looked down at him bowing faithfully and recalled the past.
Long ago, the sage of humanity who interfered with him at every turn along with Dongbang Sak.
Because of that guy, he once tried to burn all of Earth and start anew on a different planet.
However, the situation changed when Ashoka, who realized his intention first, proposed “infinite regression”.
‘Until now, he has been the most helpful to …’
The fact that the Martial God could gather such imnse power in Tuseong and aim for the Administrator position was also largely thanks to the infinite regression Ashoka established.
He was once the worst enemy.
But since he bowed his head and claid to be the Martial God’s disciple, he beca more helpful than anyone else.
However.
‘We’ve regressed together countless tis, but I still can’t figure out his true intentions…’
In the past, the Martial God successfully carried out all his plans.
Although he had to avoid and run away from Dongbang Sak, who possessed transcendent nothingness, and couldn’t face him head-on.
He had to seal the World Tree, so his range of action was limited.
Like that, there were minor variables in everything, but overall, it was within the Martial God’s grasp.
However, Ashoka.
No.
[…It was Siddhartha. Your old na.]
When Siddhartha interfered with him, all the things he sched were blocked.
If the power gap between him and himself wasn’t overwhelmingly large.
Or perhaps, if Dongbang Sak wasn’t bound to the World Tree.
He would have been killed by Siddhartha and Dongbang Sak long ago.
“Siddhartha is a na I forgot long ago.”
Ashoka recited that na with an expressionless face.
The Martial God’s eyes flashed.
Yes.
That unreadable expression was always a burden to him.
The sage of humanity who toyed with him.
In the end, he beca his disciple with all sorts of prohibitions, but.
No matter how much ti passed, trust didn’t go to him.
Rather, he only worried about when this guy would backstab him.
The red light in the Martial God’s eyes deepened further.
[I rember my promise with you. In exchange for postponing humanity’s destruction, you infinitely move the shackles of ti.]
“You promised to save humanity when you beca a transcendent being.”
[Yes. I will keep my promise. If I beco the permanent Administrator, I will save humanity. I will extinguish all the sacred flas.]
“…Thank you for your words alone.”
[So, I trust you won’t act rashly. If our contract is twisted, humanity will be annihilated.]
The Martial God made Ashoka affirm it again and again.
The most difficult to control, the Martial God’s disciple Ashoka.
It was an action that arose from the underlying distrust towards him.
“I will accept your order.”
And in front of such a Martial God, Ashoka knelt down and bowed his head.
With a strange smile on his lips.

[5 wins and 0 losses in the Beginner’s Arena! The triumphant human representative team, at the forefront is Yoon Seah playing the warrior role.]
[Is this year the right ti to go to the interdiate race? It is known that evolution bonuses also co from Seong Jihan’s tournant.]
[Sovereign Constellation Ashoka ends all matches in 1 second.]
[What is Ashoka’s true na? The gods of Indian mythology are all listed.]
These past few days, the topics that received the most attention were the Beginner’s Arena and Seong Jihan’s tournant.
At first, the Beginner’s Arena, which could bring evolution bonuses to humanity, had more attention.
However, as Sovereign Constellation Ashoka showed the feat of ending every match with a flash, people’s curiosity about who this person really was grew.
“Ah, it’s a sha I couldn’t go watch uncle’s match today. It had to be scheduled at the sa ti as the Beginner’s Arena.”
“You can just finish quickly and co watch.”
“But doesn’t it end with a flash from the Wheel-Turning Sage King?”
Yoon Seah, who no longer called Ashoka as Ashoka.
“Are you pushing the Wheel-Turning Sage King theory?”
“Yeah. Uncle said it seems related to Buddhism. But Buddha… doesn’t seem like he would summon that skull.”
“I’m going to ask him straight if he’s Buddha.”
“Oh, really? Why?”
“Just got a feeling.”
“Oh, is it uncle’s intuition activating?”
Yoon Seah, who had watched how accurate Seong Jihan’s intuition was, opened her eyes wide upon hearing those words.
The person who turns the terrifying skull wheel is Buddha?
[But Jihan. Did you find a way to deal with his skull thing? What if the hand gets taken?]
“Right. Co to think of it, whether it’s Buddha or the Wheel-Turning Sage King isn’t important. What if uncle gets turned back into a baby?”
Ashoka’s ti reversal that turned the opponent back to the mont of birth.
They needed to find a way to resist that overwhelming power that had been doing 1-second cuts until now.
“Well, I did so research on counterasures for that in the training room.”
“Oh, uncle prepared everything even while going to comntate.”
“Yeah, I can’t lose the hand like this, right?”
Although the reason Ashoka appeared in the tournant was to receive Total Annihilation, Seong Jihan didn’t fully trust those words and prepared for the worst case.
It would be big trouble if he went into the match without any preparation and got his hand taken away due to ti reversal.
‘I could resist ti reversal through Return of the Light.’
The martial art Annihilation God’s Secret – Return of the Light, which still doesn’t make sense and has many questions.
However, seeing Ashoka’s power, Seong Jihan realized that Return of the Light could be a ans to counter it.
Of course.
‘This is also an intuition without basis though.’
The ‘intuition’ that always showed Seong Jihan the way to survive.
That instinct, which he had already relied on many tis until now, was telling him that Return of the Light was the key to counter Ashoka’s power this ti as well.
At that mont.
Zing…
[You will soon be summoned to Space Arena.]
A ssage window appeared in front of Seong Jihan’s eyes.
Was it starting now?
“I’m going. Seah. Continue your winning streak.”
