Chapter 914 – Ruler of the Game
『Alright, let everyone return at once.』
Seong-il returns all the Eden Hunters remaining on Earth to block any possible variables. After finishing everything, he looks at Ilax again and asks about the ark.
‘Hmm… Normally, the ark couldn’t be operated with the amount of psionic energy possessed by humans, but it was possible since it was as powerful as mine.’
In fact, it seems that Seong-il was able to operate the ark because he already had superpowers so powerful that he could hardly be called a human. Illax tells us that if a normal human tries to operate the ark, not only will it not budge no matter how hard they try, but in extreme cases, they will become mummified by being sucked in psionic energy, or the excessive amount of information can overload the brain and cause a disaster such as exploding.
“Anyway… I understand, so I’ll see you in 5 minutes.”
After sending Illax away, Seongil summons several branches of Withgrasil that were kept in his inventory to the ark.
‘That’s a problem… In the past, I would have had someone set themselves on fire to get the job done, but…’
Due to the fierce battle that took place a little while ago, all of Seongil’s self-immolation clones were destroyed. Therefore, he needed a considerable amount of time to recover the Jinshin clone he had used this time.
『I’ll take care of that!』
“Hmm? You?”
Seong-il is puzzled when Dana, who was suddenly processing the enormous amount of data coming from the ark instead of him, gives an unexpected answer.
『My abilities are enough? I have already taken control of the Ark’s main system and succeeded in clearly understanding its interior?』
Dana asks him to use his spatial abilities to open the rift since he will imprint the exact coordinates in Seong-il’s head.
“Oh!”
Thanks to Dana, Seong-il no longer had to run around, and she was able to quickly place the special branches of Weed Grassil she had throughout the ark.
‘Unlike regular branches, this branch is filled with the essence of Withgrasil… Perhaps it can move this huge dimensional line to the Inner Plane…?’
Seong-il makes a rant and worries that he might not be able to teleport the ark to the inner plane.
『What are you worried about? The response didn’t give any particularly negative feelings, right? It will be enough.』
Dana comforts me on this holy day. Seong-il, who had lost some faith in her since he was caught by the Transcendent Church’s trick during the battle a little while ago, gains courage from her advice and boldly unlocks the power of her branch.
Wow…!!
A gigantic dimensional power begins to radiate from the branches of Withgrasil planted throughout the Ark. Nevertheless, it was difficult to move this huge structure with that force alone, but fortunately, the ark itself was a structure with dimension-related power. Also, since Dana was able to easily understand and take control of the Ark’s system with the help of Illax, the Ark fortunately amplified the dimensional power emanating from its branches and began to transport itself to another dimension.
Wooooow…!!
『Are we’re going dimensionally?』
“Maybe. Let’s wait for now. Anyway, that ark is already so damaged that it cannot be used during the final escape operation.』
『That’s right…』
And the guardian of reason watches as Seong-il transports the ark. In the past, they would have invested time and labor in somehow trying to repair the ark, the great legacy of their ancestors, but now, for the guardians of reason, time is absolutely lacking. Therefore, they have complicated expressions as they watch the legacy of their great ancestors, which would have never been passed over in the past, crossing dimensions.

“Whoa… Shit… I barely succeeded.”
Seong-il sweats as he realizes that the teleportation could have failed if even one Weedgrasil branch had been lacking.
‘The Eden Hunters… Have all returned.’
Fortunately, Seong-il, who realized that he was the last to return, immediately used his power to stop real time.
“First… We have to analyze the ark.”
In preparation for the final battle, Seong-il entrusted the Ark, the great relic of the Isuin, to Eden and analyzed it thoroughly, hoping to give humanity a chance to wander the dimension and survive even if he were gone. It’s a bonus that he refines his combat skills during his analysis period.
‘If I die, the Inner Plane might collapse. So, in preparation for any possible disaster, we analyze the ark that has the ability to travel between dimensions, create a duplicate, and use it to protect people.’
Originally, it would have taken a huge amount of time to analyze a great building like the Ark, but Seongil currently has the power to accelerate a specific world of reality at 10 times the speed. Therefore, he decides to use all of Eden’s scientists, as well as the Gaia System and G.E.C.R., To analyze and repair the Ark to extract its technology.
“First… Let’s call the executives…”
Seong-il wanted to lie down in bed and rest immediately because of the fierce battle that took place today, but due to his sense of responsibility as a leader, he suppressed his desire to rest and desperately moved his body to check the progress with the executives.
‘The damage is not small.’
Seong-il looks bitter after hearing the report that although most of them were faceless hunters, quite a few of them died during the operation. Of course, although most of the administrators were missing, the difficulty of this human rescue operation was still enormous. Therefore, it could actually be said to be a miracle that only about 5% of the total troops suffered damage and most of the remaining human beings were rescued.
‘Still, being bitter is being bitter.’
No matter how urgent the situation was, it was probably not safe to leave a large city as is. The Transcendent Church had assigned about one manager to each city, and thanks to that, there was quite a bit of damage among the S-class hunters who had to deal with them. .
‘But I have no intention of sending any more hunters into the operation…’
During the final battle, Seong-il did not need to participate in any more dangerous operations because he planned to mainly use the newly acquired skill ‘Master of the Game’, and based on that, he decided not to feel guilty.
***
“Is the analysis going well?”
For the past 15 days, Seong-il has been concentrating on managing his physical condition by creating a separate spirit in a secret room. He travels to the world of the Gaia System, accelerated 10 times, and asks about the analysis of the Ark with the doctors from Pocket Girls.
“Oh, you’re here. How are you?”
“I’m feeling better now. I drank the regenerated elixir…”
After confirming that Seong-il is in good condition, Dr. Woo begins to brief him on the extent to which he is currently analyzing the ark he brought.
“It was confusing at first. It wasn’t easy to even get a clue as to how advanced the technology of this huge ship was.”
However, the ultra-high-performance AI Gaia system, which absorbed all the otherworldly technologies that Seongil brought to him while traveling around various worlds like a sponge, began to gradually unravel the secrets of the Ark after about a month, and an additional two months were needed. Explain to Seong-il that the Ark is now being analyzed faster than before based on the data accumulated over the years.
“Hoo… It’s okay.”
“I think so too. Perhaps, if we add about a month of time here, we will be able to completely uncover the ark’s mechanism. Of course, it is only ‘analysis’. Making a replica is a bit different.”
“I understand that too.”
Seong-il never thought that he would be able to replicate the Ark in just four months using only human technology, so he looks skeptical at Dr. Woo’s report.
‘Four months in real time… Is the Gaia system a little over three years?’
In any case, Seong-il also needs time to regenerate his soul and prepare for the next battle. Therefore, Seong-il shows an optimistic attitude after hearing the report.
‘I guess I’ll have to flirt with my lovers while making a split marriage.’
Seong-il decides to spend his final moments playing with his child, whom Eun-wol is raising, and caressing his lovers from another world, who are now quite full. During the day, Seong-il prepared for battle by creating separate souls, and at night, he spent time traveling around various worlds and meeting lovers. Finally, four months after his return, Seong-il received a call from the scientific group that they had succeeded in analyzing and repairing the ark. Receive.
“In reality, four months… Is a little over three years, right? It’s faster than you think, right?”
Although the three years in which all the new human technology and the super-intelligence of the Gaia system were attached were qualitatively different, the transcendental structure called the Ark was worth daring to describe that period as fast.
“It will be faster in the future.”
Before we knew it, the research center established in Eden had begun to be replaced by professors from the Poke Girls world, with scholars raised in reality little by little, and the leader of the group had already been replaced by Eden’s genius scientist, Dr. Howard Wren.
“That will be the case. After we bring this ark back to reality, we will continue to bring other types of arks.”
“Oh! That’s great. You’re looking forward to it. Repairing and analyzing the new ark you’re bringing will take less than a month here in our time. I’m also excited. I’m excited to be able to research a new type of ark.”
Rather than finding Seongil’s request for repairs difficult, Dr. Ren seems happy to hear that he has been able to analyze various types of the great structure called the Ark.
‘Okay… Then let’s go.’
Seong-il leaves the delighted doctor alone and orders her subordinates to prepare to operate the now neatly repaired ark.
『It’s been a while. Master.』
“Oh. Did you do well studying the Ark?”
“Sure. It can be said to be perfect.』
Dana has been analyzing the Ark with the Gaia system for the past few years in a world accelerated 10 times. Through that experience, she seemed to be able to perfectly operate the ark.
“Okay. Let’s go.”
