chapter 311

"What day is it now? Has the Space League match started?"

"no. "It's in two days!"

"Luckily the time was right."

Inside the Void Training Ground, it was not easy to understand the flow of time.

I was wondering if I might have exceeded the game schedule, but I didn't.

Seong Ji-han felt fortunate and asked the staff.

"What happened to the people trapped in the connector?"

"Oh, that's… … ."

"You're still trapped."

"is it so?"

"huh. And the situation is the same for the US national team. So… … ."

Director Noh Young-jun looked as if he was in trouble, looked at Seong Ji-han's eyes, and spoke.

"There continues to be talk about returning the treasure of the beginning to the king."

"is it so? But I've already absorbed that."

"Is that so?"

"ah… … ."

People sighed at Seong Ji-han's words.

I thought I would somehow persuade him and wake up the players, but everything went in vain.

"But, thanks to absorbing it, I think I have a plan to deal with it."

"Well, do you have a plan to deal with it?"

People were startled by Seong Ji-han's words and looked at him.

In the game, the king of the beginning who captivated the world's best rankers.

Seong Ji-han has a way to deal with this?

"Yes, I'm not sure yet, but I might give it a try. Is the player connector still in that room?"

"Yeah, that's right."

"Then let's go."

Let Seong Ji-han take a light step first.

Director Noh Young-jun and the coaching staff looked at each other in disbelief and followed him.

and.

'I understand now. 'I can feel traces of life energy.'

Seong Ji-han felt the energy rising from the connector and raised the corners of his mouth.

Gilgamesh's trick of treating players like his servants, claiming to be the power of the king of the beginning.

After gaining the stat Eternal, I could vaguely see it.

Slurp.

Behind Seong Ji-han's back, a chain protrudes.

Shush!

It all flew towards the Battlenet connector.

"Ji-Jihan, if it breaks… … !"

Director Noh Young-jun hurriedly shouted as the chain flew so violently.

Clap. Clap.

The chain just wrapped around the connector.

Shoooooo… … !

The energy of life that resided within it was extracted.

The energy of life disappears along with the complex magic drawn inside.

Seong Ji-han looked at this and thought.

'Gilgamesh, you haven't made everyone yours yet.'

Other rankers at the pinnacle of humanity.

Brainwashing them was not an easy task, even for Gilgamesh.

You wouldn't know it from the game map, which is 'strewn'.

In the real world, getting someone who was not sponsored by the Holy See to be completely on your side was a complicated process.

'So even though they went in and out of the training room, the players were still trapped in the connector.'

If we made them loyal like in Tuseong, there would be no need for the players to be locked up.

Rather, it might have had a bigger effect if they had come out and incited Seong Ji-han to lay down his roots or else he would not participate in Battle.net.

In this way, Seong Ji-han dismantled Gilgamesh's technique, which clumsily followed the ruling code, inside the connector.

OK.

It's shaky… … !

Electricity bloomed from the Battlenet connector.

Cheeeeeek… … .

One by one, the doors began to open.

"Oh oh… … !"

"no way!?"

The staff, who had been worried when Seong Ji-han took out the chain, looked there in surprise.

and.

"eww… … Ugh… … ."

Players emerge from there one by one.

Although he felt dizzy and stumbled, there seemed to be no major problems with his body.

"The players are out!"

"Please check the status!"

Medical staff who had been waiting in advance were deployed.

Seong Ji-han began to release the remaining connectors in succession.

"ah… … "It's the head."

"Ugh, I even remember what became Gilgamesh's chains… … After that, what happened?"

"king? king… … I forgot... … ."

Most of the players were freed, and there were two connectors left.

"Who is left?"

"Only Sejin Yoon and Yeonju Ha remain!"

"Among the trapped players, the two with the highest level are taking a long time… … "Is Ha Yeon-joo's sponsor constellation also the king of the beginning?"

"I heard that's not the case… … ."

Although South Korea won the Champions League final.

Among the national team players, there were not many who could be called world-class.

Led by unrivaled player Seong Ji-han.

Except for Yoon Se-jin and Ha Yeon-joo, who are currently trapped, and Yoon Se-ah and Sophia, who came out in advance.

None of them were at a level where they could not even be selected for the Space League national team.

'Strong players, do they hold on longer?'

When Director Noh Young-Jun was thinking that way.

Cheeeeeek… … !

Another connector opened, and Ha Yeon-ju came outside with a tired face.

"King, king… … I'm so sick of this. "What kind of king is this in this day and age?"

"Ha Yeon-ju, are you okay?!"

"Yes, ah… … Was it really Jihan who released it? "Thanks to you, I survived."

She glanced at Seong Ji-han, who was focusing on Yoon Se-jin's connector with the remaining chain.

He bowed his head in that direction and came out with the support of the medical staff.

There is only one player left like that.

Let Seong Ji-han's heavenly spirit come together in Yoon Se-jin's connector.

Flashing… … !

There, golden light twinkled.

* * *

"Uh, uhm… … Fire, gold... … "

"Mo, don't look at everyone!"

"Avoid eye contact!"

Now, the players who make the game happen just by looking at the golden light.

The coaching staff and medical staff both sat down and avoided eye contact when they saw it.

and.

From within, Gilgamesh's voice flowed.

[I wrote the extinction code, and my alter ego... … Did you overcome it as expected?]

"There was nothing special. "Your alter ego."

[I only used up one precious root.]

At the same time, the golden light shone more intensely.

[This person is sponsored by me. Unlike others, loyalty will not be easily removed.]

Indeed, as Gilgamesh said.

Unlike other players, Yoon Se-jin's problem is not solved by extracting life energy.

'Is it because my brother-in-law's patronage constellation is Gilgamesh? 'That's tricky.'

Still, there is no way.

Seong Ji-han stretched out his heavenly hand to the eternity within.

[The seal on the stat 'Eternal' is temporarily released.]

Then the seal is released.

Based on the life energy flowing in from there, Seong Ji-han wrote a control code in the connector.

When I used it on Gilgamesh's clone in the past, I couldn't even finish it due to lack of strength.

'It's as far as I can go this time.'

While I was at it, I thought about writing the last letter.

No matter how much life energy was used, it was impossible to write the letter for 'ship'.

Still, did writing 'Ji' have a big effect?

The technique within the connector that had bound Yoon Se-jin began to disappear.

and.

[No, even using this code... … !]

Even the intensely sparkling golden light began to slowly be absorbed by this pattern.

[I guess I should step down for now.]

As was the case during the time of self-immolation, Gilgamesh shows weakness towards the ruling code.

The golden light was disappearing quickly, as if running away.

and.

Cheeeeeek… … !

Finally, Yoon Se-jin's connector opens.

There, Yoon Se-jin appeared, staggering with a gaunt face.

"Ah, Dad!"

Yoon Se-ah, who came from the Sword Palace after receiving the call that Seong Ji-han had returned, saw the sight and quickly ran over.

but.

Before she could even help Yoon Se-jin.

"main… … "Innim!"

He staggered and fell to his knees towards Seong Ji-han.

"… … Oh, Dad?"

"From now on, I will be loyal to my master… … !"

Seong Ji-han frowned as he looked at Yoon Se-jin who was about to bow.

'Is it because of the ruling code?'

A ruling code written with only one letter.

However, the effect was outstanding.

"What kind of master are you, uncle?!"

Yoon Se-ah quickly ran over and grabbed his body.

[The constellation 'Witch of the Void' tells us to just leave it as is.]

['The Witch of the Void' says that this guy is always being brainwashed somewhere, so it would be better for Seong Ji-han to just be in charge.]

[The 'Witch of the Void' asks you to convey her words to Seong Ji-han, emphasizing this two or three times.]

A constellation message from a Void Witch who had lost her composure flashed before her eyes.

Following Shizuru, to Gilgamesh.

It happened to me not once, but twice.

If it's so frustrating, should I just leave it that way?

"Hey, you can't do that though! Uncle, Dad, can't you get me out of this situation? "Can you let me go?"

"… … Yes, let's solve it."

Seong Ji-han, who was silent for a moment, raised his finger again.

Like his older sister Seong Ji-ah, he also had similar thoughts for a while.

'But that doesn't mean you treat your brother-in-law like a servant.'

Seong Ji-han had no intention of playing king like Gilgamesh.

So let's unlock the ruling code.

Yoon Se-jin tried to bow somehow, but suddenly stopped.

dump.

He sat down and took a deep breath.

"eww… … No shame. "Brother-in-law, I am indebted to you every time."

"How is it. "The status is."

"I'm fine… … and. Gilgamesh is missing from the sponsorship constellation... … he ran away "I think that code my brother-in-law used is his weakness."

"You canceled the sponsorship constellation?"

"okay… … "This will never happen again."

It seems that Gilgamesh is really weak in the control code, to the extent of abandoning the patronage constellation.

Seong Ji-han nodded and looked towards Director Noh Young-jun.

"Director. Please contact us. "We need to liberate those players too."

"Ah, I understand!"

There are 2 days left until the match against the World Tree Alliance.

Humanity desperately needed the power of the U.S. national team players.

and.

"They say there's already a plane on standby at the U.S. military base."

"Is that so? "The preparation is thorough."

After hearing the news that Seong Ji-han had liberated the national team players, the United States had already completed preparations for departure.

"All you have to do is physically come, so they ask you to come as quickly as possible. I will give anything in return... … "The American limousine is already here."

"Won't you be late if you take the limousine? "Let's just run."

"run… … ."

"yes."

Although the director questioned Seong Ji-han's words with a blank expression.

'Ah, when I was catching Shizuru in the past, I also ran around Japan... … .'

Seong Ji-han has become much stronger than before.

It seemed like it would be much faster to use light speed than to actually ride a car.

"then. You can go to the US military base in Pyeongtaek... … ."

"All right. "You go first."

Swish!

Seong Ji-han disappeared as soon as he said those words.

Everyone in the audience looked at the spot where he had disappeared with bewildered expressions.

* * *

Two days later, Battle.net Center in New York.

"Everyone, everyone has been liberated…" … !"

"Fortunately, the. Fortunately, the! "Space League, you can join the war!"

When Seong Ji-han freed the American players from the Battle.net connector, the American staff went crazy.

"My Lord!"

Meanwhile.

Seong Ji-han frowned when he saw Barron coming out of the connector and kneeling towards him.

How many times have I heard the loading sound?

Unlike the Korean national team, the United States had many players who had Gilgamesh as their sponsor.

To unlock that much, a lot of governing code had to be written.

'This guy Gilgamesh… … You definitely put a lot of effort into the US national team.'

Compared to the Korean national team, the U.S. national team had superior average skills.

Is it because there are a lot more talented people here?

Gilgamesh's demonic beasts were also spread out further here.

Seong Ji-han wrote and eliminated control codes for each of these people.

"Uh, uh. Thank you… … Seong Ji-han, forget what I said earlier."

"Thanks to the castle, I almost got dominated, but I survived."

Loyalty received from American players has been disabled.

"There are only 3 hours left until the Space League match!"

"After the medical team checks my condition, I'll have to go straight into the game… … ."

"Is that possible?"

As soon as you get out of the connector, you have to go back in.

Some of the US national team players were reluctant to do so, perhaps because it was a trauma.

"I will go."

"This is what we will do. "Of course."

Most were willing to go back into the connector.

The American coaching staff is busy preparing.

There, Davis, the coach of the district team, approached Seong Ji-han.

"Sungjihan player. I think it's too late to go back to Korea and compete... … Would you like to do this here?"

"At the American center?"

"Yes, we will provide the best convenience."

"All right. "I don't have time, so let's do it."

There are only 3 hours left in the battle against the World Tree Elves.

It was impossible to go to Korea and play this game.

Seong Ji-han decided to play the game at the Battle.net Center in New York, where he had been for a long time in his last life.

So, in the Space League game I participated in in the United States.

"Humanity, we have only one goal."

The representative of the World Tree Elves said with a stern expression.

"Your number one. "I will definitely execute you today."
