'He said I'd get a sense of White Light through BattleTube...'
Seong Jihan recalled what the White Administrator had told him.
He was told always to be conscious of the light, as he'd get a sense of it while gaining abilities through BattleTube.
He had heard this, but until now he had no idea how it would work.
This time, White Light was activating on its own on the Tower of Martial Gods icon for the first time.'I have no use for it right now anyway, should I try using it?'
Seong Jihan brought his glowing white hand to the Tower of Martial Gods icon.
Then,
[Do you want to bestow the power of light on the Tower of Martial Gods?]
A message window with a pure white background appeared before Seong Jihan's eyes.
When he pressed yes,
Flash...!
The light shining from Seong Jihan's hand transferred to the Tower of Martial Gods.
The half-glowing tower icon became completely enveloped in light.
[The invitation function through BattleTube is immediately activated.]
[Participation costs based on distance are removed, and all players can directly enter the Tower of Martial Gods through BattleTube.]
[From now on, you can keep the Tower of Martial Gods icon activated on the player's channel main screen.]
'This eliminates the need to register Earth's coordinates.'
The Tower of Martial Gods, was enhanced with convenience as White Light entered it.
Not only did distance restrictions disappear, but originally, the invitation function required Seong Jihan to turn on BattleTube.
Now, even without activating BattleTube, people could enter the tower just through the channel's main screen icon.
This meant there was no need to keep BattleTube on to use that icon.
However,
['White Light' is fully invested in activating the Tower of Martial Gods.]
[Due to insufficient stat value, the invitation function is only activated for 6 hours a day.]
It seemed 20 stat points weren't enough.
With current abilities, it could only be open to alien beings for 6 hours a day.
'Considering that distance restrictions have completely disappeared, this level of limitation is practically nothing.'
Rather, now that the tower has grown rapidly, it would be better for him if it were only open for 6 hours to organize the interior.
As Seong Jihan was thinking this,
-Oh, the tower icon is activated?
-Should we try entering... Oh, there's no entry fee?
-Really? Let's go, with 100% adjustment we should be able to win.
-I'll watch the advance party get crushed first.
As soon as the icon was activated, alien players entered the Tower of Martial Gods individually.
[This... There are too many challengers, from humanity and now aliens? The tower is empty from the 10th floor up, we need to redeploy players quickly.]
'Ah, that. It was said that phantoms of players I subdued would appear on empty floors.'
[Is that so? Then the 500 life prisoners and Urd will appear randomly...]
At those words, the Red Administrator suggested redeploying personnel.
[How about deploying all 500 life prisoners on the 1st floor?]
'Can that many fit?'
[With the tower expanded, it's certainly possible. And let's not have battles on the 1st floor, just send them straight to the floor above.]
'So have them fight the phantoms.'
[Right. Challengers fighting low-level life prisoners won't yield much experience anyway.]
Seong Jihan gained experience in various ways through the Tower of Martial Gods.
While directly battling challengers on the top floor was the primary route,
Some of the experience generated from challengers fighting on lower floors also went to Seong Jihan as the tower owner.
So while the experience Seong Jihan gained from fighting challengers on the top floor might be more right now,
'Once the Tower of Martial Gods becomes more established, what's earned on the lower floors will be more.'
The level down penalty challengers pay when defeated.
The experience lost here went to the tower owner.
This penalty was applied weakly to humanity, so not much experience came in when humans lost on lower floors, but,
'It's different for alien challengers.'
These VIP guests would earn experience for Seong Jihan in the Tower of Martial Gods.
'Well then, shall we look at the tower situation?'
Ziiing...
Seong Jihan brought up the Tower of Martial Gods in his system.
After all the life prisoners were deployed on the 1st floor,
Challengers were battling phantoms from the 2nd floor up.
[What? This is too easy.]
[Enough fighting these insignificant ones, I want to face the Martial God quickly.]
Unlike human challengers engaged in fierce battles with life-prisoner phantoms once stats were adjusted,
Alien beings easily trampled them and swiftly climbed up to the 20th floor.
Of course, some of them,
[Tch. Unluckily it's the circular elf phantom...]
[Ugh, not even taking a scratch...!]
[Wh-what is this power... It didn't seem this strong earlier?!]
Unluckily encountering Urd's phantom,
Their bodies were exploding after taking her punches.
Even if Urd had lost weakly to Seong Jihan earlier because White Light was sealed,
That was just because she met the wrong opponent.
To an ordinary player, she was no different from a grim reaper with just her physical abilities.
And,
-Why is the elf ghost so strong?
-She's a 5-star constellation... Her head is lightly smashed.
-When fighting the Martial God earlier she burned for 30 minutes before self-destructing...
-She only seemed weak because her opponent was the Martial God, isn't she actually extremely strong?
-Then how strong is the Martial God who subdued that elf?
-I'm glad I sent the advance party first.
The alien viewers watching along with Seong Jihan,
Observing alien beings easily crushed by Urd, began to reconsider challenging the Tower of Martial Gods.
Urd showed overwhelming performance even with stats adjusted.
Then how strong must Seong Jihan be, who subdued her?
At that moment,
[Challenger 'Gersh' has entered the top floor.]
Flash...!
Opposite Seong Jihan,
A huge gray wolf with seven eyes appeared.
* * *
[Player 'Gersh' challenges Martial God 'Seong Jihan'.]
[Gersh's abilities are significantly weaker compared to the Martial God...]
[Both players' abilities will be 100% adjusted based on the weaker one.]
Stats were adjusted based on the challenger.
As Seong Jihan's power was weakened, and the wolf's seven eyes flashed.
[Certainly... you've weakened.]
With killing intent intensifying,
Grrrr!
The giant wolf opened its mouth.
[Hand over... the title of Martial God!]
The giant wolf was quite arrogant, with stats adjusted.
It was understandable, as it seemed to be a race several grades stronger than humans, but,
'Not much even with adjustment.'
Seong Jihan briefly examined the giant wolf and then looked at the tower's status board.
Alien players were rapidly climbing up, except where they encountered Urd's phantom.
This wolf was the fastest, but there were many players waiting to fight Seong Jihan behind it.

"There's too much of a queue. Let's end this quickly."
As Seong Jihan looked at his opponent,
[Kuk...?! Gr... Grrrr...?]
The giant wolf's body seemed to tremble, then
It exploded all at once.
Even with stats adjusted,
The spatial dominance of Blue, which replaced Martial Soul, was still intact.
Gersh exploded helplessly within Seong Jihan's domain, unable to resist at all.
-...What?
-Is it over already?
-That Gersh is the 'Seven-Eyed Predator', a 6-star constellation...
-Wasn't this supposed to be adjusted...?
-It was adjusted, the message appeared.
-I'm glad I didn't press the tower after all.
And as viewers' motivation to challenge decreased after seeing this,
"Then, next please enter."
[Martial God! I am...!]
Bang!
"Next."
[Martial God...]
Bang! Bang!
"Next."
Challengers exploding as soon as they entered the 20th floor.
Gersh had at least managed to talk with Seong Jihan for longer.
From the next opponent on, they were exploding miserably before even finishing their words.
-...At least let them finish introducing themselves.
-Oh, Gersh-nim came back to the chat room. What's the defeat penalty?
-My level dropped by 2...
-You don't mean constellation level?
-No. The level on my original status window.
-That's not too bad, then.
When Gersh, who had died to Seong Jihan, returned and informed that his level dropped by 2,
Alien players evaluated the penalty itself as light, but,
-What's not too bad about exploding as soon as you enter ??;
-Even if the challenge only costs 2 levels, it's disappointing to explode like that.
-But isn't there anyone who can withstand one hit?
-The circular elf lasted 30 minutes.
-That one's an administrator;
-Looks like we shouldn't enter the Tower of Martial Gods...
As Seong Jihan kept exploding challengers as soon as they entered,
The desire to fight him for the Martial God title rapidly disappeared.
Additionally,
-Oh, it seems the ones who just died are also popping up on the phantom floors?
-The circular elf used to be the only trap card, but now there are more...
-The ones who exploded in one hit from the Blue Administrator are bullies on the lower floors. lolol
Until just now, they could easily climb to the 20th floor if they just avoided Urd, but,
As the number of those defeated by Seong Jihan increased, strong beings rapidly appeared on the phantom floors.
It became difficult to even climb to the 20th floor, and even if they did, they'd explode in one hit in the Tower of Martial Gods.
-Is this... worth challenging?
-Feels like we'd just get our heads smashed for nothing...
Alien viewers slowly regaining their composure.
-Hey, where else can you fight a Martial God?
-If you're constellation level, you can quickly recover from the original level penalty.
-It's not like constellation level drops... Even losing like this is experience..
Even at this point, many still thought it was a rare chance to fight an administrator, but,
After about 2 weeks,
-No... It's hard even to climb the tower?
That merit was rapidly disappearing too.
* * *
[Isn't the Tower of Martial Gods a trash content?]
In the beginning it was worth sacrificing 2 levels for a chance to fight the Martial God,
But these days it seems hard to even reach the top ??;
Yesterday it looked like the Martial God didn't even fight 10 times
As losers increase, it seems harder to climb...
? Honestly there's no experience gained from fighting either ?? Head explodes in one hit.
? I don't even know why I exploded... It just ended as soon as I entered.
? Humans seem to use it a lot as a leveling method since they don't lose much exp even if defeated, but there's no benefit for us...
? I'd be fine with exploding in one hit if I could meet the Martial God, but I can't even climb to the top, Damn monsters keep randomly popping up.
? I tried challenging to see the Martial God once, but my level already dropped by 10 so I quit.
A trending post on the BattleNet community.
There, negative reactions to the Tower of Martial Gods revealed by Seong Jihan continued.
"The public opinion is really bad."
[Indeed, the queue has been shrinking rapidly these days.]
"We need to prepare some incentives to challenge the tower soon."
[Even if we prepare rewards, the tower needs to expand to 50 floors to apply them.]
50 floors.
Over these 2 weeks, as the Tower of Martial Gods received numerous challengers, the 20-floor tower had expanded to 40 floors, but,
After reaching 40 floors, the tower wasn't growing as rapidly as before.
'I guess we'll have to maintain this system until it reaches 50 floors for now.'
The total levels gained through the Tower of Martial Gods over these 2 weeks was 10.
It was a small number compared to the 60 levels gained from subduing Urd alone, but
Still, the steady supply of experience was quite nice.
Additionally,
'It's encouraging that human players' levels have recovered considerably.'
Male rankers who were reset when becoming male half-elves.
They were rapidly raising their levels by continuously challenging the Tower of Martial Gods.
Of course, they hadn't yet reached their former ranker levels, but they were recovering at a far superior speed
Compared to leveling up from scratch in the existing system.
However,
[NO.4212 'Humanity' is reassigned to the Space League...]
'The time was too short to recover their previous levels fully.'
Seong Jihan smiled bitterly as he looked at the message window that appeared before him.
Humanity was reassigned to the Space League as July 1st arrived.
[Humanity is assigned to the Gold League.]
The league they were assigned to was Gold.
