All Master of 100 Floors Episode 236
The Second Universe Quest (2)
[You have successfully cleared the first Universe Quest! While some of you may not be entirely satisfied, it wasn’t bad at all! I hope you continue forward with this momentum!]
[At the end of this lies the salvation you all desire! I urge you to challenge it with your lives on the line.]
[Well then, enough idle talk! Let us begin the second Universe Quest!]
[The second Universe Quest will proceed with three planets joining forces!]
[Each planet will be designated at random!]
Unlike the first Universe Quest, the Players had no choice in the matter.
Kang Jun-hyeok remembered the two planets that would accompany Earth.
They were hardly remarkable worlds. Ordinary planets scattered everywhere, with no survivors making it to the later stages.
This time would be no different. Or so I thought in that moment.
[The following three planets will proceed with the Quest together!]
[Representative of Holonia Planet: Ariel Won.]
[Representative of Casain Planet: Bultar.]
[Representative of Earth Planet: Kang Jun-hyeok.]
“Hm?”
Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes widened.
The representative of Holonia Planet. Ariel Won.
That name existed in my memory. I could not have forgotten it.
‘The Saintess?’
Ariel Won was indeed the renowned Saintess.
‘It’s different from my previous life.’
Well, I had accomplished countless things. With such fundamental changes to the overall flow, it was hardly strange that randomness would be affected as well.
As my thoughts crystallized, the world warped.
[I shall grant you three days. Exchange information and converse with one another. And then designate a representative to proceed with the second Universe Quest!]
Whoooosh!
Kang Jun-hyeok’s body was transported to a Medieval Grand City.
I could see the Players who had been transported alongside me.
“Phew.”
“Finally the second one.”
“We can win this. We can definitely win….”
They rose to their feet, each steeling their resolve. Some who turned their gaze caught sight of Kang Jun-hyeok, and their faces brightened.
“It’s Kang Jun-hyeok!”
“Kang Jun-hyeok!”
Their expressions were suffused with profound hope.
They were filled with the belief that if it was Kang Jun-hyeok, he could accomplish this.
[Divine Power + 1]
[Lost God’s Divine Radiance proficiency has risen slightly.]
[Lost God’s Divine Sanctuary proficiency has risen slightly.]

* * *
Kang Jun-hyeok gathered the Top Players and organized their information.
Overall, they had reached the early-to-mid 60th Floor.
The pace itself had slowed compared to before. But Kang Jun-hyeok did not rebuke them.
“It seems they’re climbing with focus on each individual floor.”
“Yes.”
Olivia Turner nodded.
Kang Jun-hyeok showed them something.
What they could obtain by raising the Clear Rate of each floor.
The other Players who witnessed those achievements began to focus on each floor rather than rushing through with speed.
It was a good development. They needed to grow as strong as possible before reaching the 70th Floor.
“You’re doing well.”
“Thank you.”
At Kang Jun-hyeok’s recognition, they exhaled sighs of relief inwardly. It felt like being students evaluated by their teacher.
“Then let’s begin moving.”
A Medieval Grand City of immense scale.
At its very center stood a single building.
And within it, a round table was positioned as if inviting them to gather and converse.
There were thirty chairs in total.
Kang Jun-hyeok and the ten Top Players from Earth took their seats. Soon, the Top Players from other planets began entering one by one and sitting down.
This movement was far swifter than the first Universe Quest. It was because they had actively exchanged information and engaged in dialogue since then. Soon the final seat was filled.
A beautiful woman with blonde hair and blue eyes smiled softly and spoke.
“Then shall we begin our discussion?”

* * *
Everyone here was among the top ten strongest individuals from their respective planets.
They regarded one another with gazes brimming with curiosity.
Yet among them, two Players commanded particular attention.
The first was the beautiful blonde-haired woman with blue eyes who had spoken first.
Her appearance was flawless, like a sculpture descended from the divine itself.
But what truly drew the eye was not her beauty.
A powerful aura emanated from her.
A sacred presence, one might say—holy and sublime. Instinctively, one felt compelled to bow and observe proper courtesy in her presence.
Yet the one receiving the most attention was naturally Kang Jun-hyeok.
The one and only Perfect Player. The one who had transformed the attitude of Touvalt, the Universe’s top-tier Player, in a single moment.
Most gazes were fixed upon Kang Jun-hyeok. He spoke with indifference.
“Stop staring at people’s faces and let’s proceed with the discussion.”
“Ahem.”
“Hmm, hmm.”
They cleared their throats and deliberately averted their eyes. Soon, the red-haired man spoke.
“I’ll speak first. I am the representative of Casain Planet. Bultar. A 59th Floor Player.”
“59th Floor….”
“Mm.”
People from other planets let out sighs.
It was far too low a floor for a representative. Nor did he appear to be a skilled fighter who transcended floor levels. Bultar offered a bitter smile.
“You’ve noticed, I see. Our planet is weak. But we will do our best. For our shared victory, I will not spare myself and will stand at the forefront as your shield.”
“Well then.”
“We appreciate your support.”
Next to speak was the blonde-haired woman with blue eyes.
“Then it’s my turn next. It’s a pleasure to meet you all. I am the representative of Holonia Planet. Ariel Won. A 66th Floor Player and the Saintess of God.”
“…God?”
“Huh?”
People were bewildered. Olivia Turner asked cautiously.
“If you mean God, then….”
“I understand what you’re implying. But the God known on your planet is likely not the one I serve.”
Ariel Won placed a hand over her heart.
“I am the sole Saintess who serves God, the sole Apostle, and the sole Believer.”
Ariel Won smiled enigmatically as she spoke.
At such peculiar words, people wore bewildered expressions. Kim Ha-young cautiously raised his hand.
“I am an Apostle of Yulsir, the God of Law. My name is Kim Ha-young. Should I consider myself of the same standing as your God?”
“No.”
Ariel Won shook her head.
“The one I serve is the One True God. The God of Gods, one might say. Yulsir is certainly a great being, but cannot be compared to the one I serve.”
“Pardon?”
Kim Ha-young flinched.
As a believer of Yulsir, he would naturally regard such dismissive words toward a god as an insult.
Not only Kim Ha-young, but the others too wore expressions of incomprehension. They all knew that countless gods existed throughout the Universe.
And they understood that each possessed their own territory, and though their power might differ, they held equal dignity.
But a god among gods?
It was an extraordinarily strange notion.
Only Kang Jun-hyeok grasped the meaning contained within those words with absolute clarity.
The Saintess. Ariel Won.
She who was called the Avatar of Gods.
My comrade who fought alongside me to the very end.
And the one who conducted the Holy Sword transfer ritual with me for Yu Jin-ha.
‘I never expected to meet her so soon.’
A peculiar sentiment washed over me. Ariel Won tilted her head at my gaze.
Then came my turn at last.
“Earth Planet’s representative. I’m Kang Jun-hyeok. A 51st Floor Player. Known as the Perfect Player.”
“The 51st Floor!”
“I’d heard rumors, but to think he’s actually at such a level.”
“And he defeated a Player from the late 60s?”
Murmurs rippled through the crowd. Shocked gazes fixed upon me. I drummed my fingers against the table with evident irritation.
Uuuuung.
“Hah!”
A sharp wave of force swept over them. The power contained within it made everyone hold their breath.
“Enough with the tedious chatter. We have three days remaining. Let’s proceed.”
“Ah. Yes.”
“Understood.”
They hastily nodded their heads.

* * *
After that, the Players gathered and conversed with one another.
They discussed the floors each had reached, the characteristics of their abilities, their strength, and other details as they devised methods for cooperation.
And I refrained from intervening, watching quietly from the rooftop of the city.
In my previous life, things had never proceeded so smoothly.
Each had erected their pride, none trusted one another, and they engaged in constant Ki clashes to establish dominance.
But now, not a trace of such behavior was visible.
The sight was not entirely displeasing.
And then, someone approached me.
“Hello?”
“Ariel Won.”
A blonde-haired, blue-eyed beauty stood behind me. In her gaze fixed upon me, a deep curiosity gleamed.
‘The one and only Perfect Player.’
To have achieved a Perfect Clear through all floors up to the 52nd Floor—I couldn’t even fathom how it was accomplished. He was undoubtedly special.
But.
‘I am even more special!’
I, the one and only Saintess of God, could not be compared to him.
That thought was immediately readable in her expression. I laughed inwardly.
‘Her nature remains unchanged.’
Ariel Won possessed a strong pride in her own uniqueness. Unlike Touvalt, she didn’t deviate, but she always made a fuss about that aspect.
It wasn’t entirely wrong either. She was indeed unique, and moreover, she was special.
[…I was skeptical when I heard the story. But it’s true. The Gods have employed quite a subtle means.]
[Fascinating. Can a mortal of such a form truly exist?]
Eldyria and Manbyeonggi also murmured in astonished tones, as if they had noticed.
Ariel Won asked with a smile.
“I have one question for you.”
“What is it.”
My attitude was not particularly poor. The Saintess was a perfect Player; I had received nothing from her. Rather, I carried a slight debt of gratitude toward her.
Ariel Won opened her mouth.
“You achieved a Perfect Clear on the 24th Floor.”
A city corrupted and ruined, steeped in poison.
That was a floor she too had achieved a Perfect Clear on.
“I resolved it by covering everything with Divine Power. How did you resolve it?”
To her question, laden with deep curiosity, I answered lightly.
I awakened the Mayor and repaired the equipment that had been spewing poison.
And I treated the poisoned people with medicinal herbs.
“I see….”
He is not one who boasts of strength alone. Indeed, had he been, he would not have achieved the miracle of a Perfect Clear through all floors. Ariel Won, organizing the information, tilted her head in puzzlement.
“Then how did you awaken the Mayor at first? And how did you descend to the Underground in a city drenched in poison?”
Instead of answering, I showed her directly. I raised my hand.
A sharp ringing sound.
Brilliant light gathered above my palm.
Ariel Won’s eyes widened.
“…Divine Power!”
Her pupils flashed with divine radiance in that instant. A gaze as if observing from above swept across my entire form. Soon, Ariel Won’s eyes trembled.
“You don’t have one?”
“Did you think I was some deity’s believer?”
“…So you’re saying no. But how do you wield Divine Power?”
“What do you think?”
I spoke leisurely. Ariel Won bit her lip.
“You certainly keep many secrets.”
“You’re no different. The God’s one and only Saintess. One who wields Divine Power without any followers.”
I spoke playfully. Ariel Won’s expression grew complicated. Inwardly, I smiled at that look.
Ariel Won took pride in being special above all others. That was precisely why she had always grumbled about me in solitude.
It was a nostalgic current. Ariel Won gritted her teeth. No. She was special. She would absolutely uncover my secrets.
Ariel Won clapped her hands as if struck by a brilliant idea.
“Then how about we make a wager?”
“A wager?”
“Yes! Until the second Universe Quest ends, we search for each other’s secrets! And whoever uncovers the answer gets one wish granted!”
Her face was brimming with confidence as she spoke.
She didn’t know how I wielded Divine Power, but she was the God’s Saintess. The God’s one and only Saintess. There was no reason she couldn’t uncover it given enough time.
Through this wager, she would show me her own uniqueness. That was the intention behind her proposal.
But there was one problem—the other party was me.
“So the winner’s wish gets granted? Whatever it may be?”
“Yes! Anything at all!”
“That’s not bad.”
I murmured.
