All Master of 100 Floors Episode 237
Second Universe Quest (3)
“Wonderful. I accept! No takebacks!”
Ariel spoke with unbridled enthusiasm.
Tuvalt Shadowstar, who had always been critical of Kang Jun-hyeok, posted a message of deep recognition and admiration toward him on the Community after the first Universe Quest concluded.
It became quite the topic of discussion. Ariel herself had read the content with considerable impression.
Because of this, Ariel’s wish had been predetermined from the start.
‘I’ll make him write about my specialness on the Community!’
She would make Kang Jun-hyeok himself write about his own uniqueness and greatness on the Community.
The Perfect Player expressing admiration. That would make her even more special.
That was the extent of her thinking.
But Kang Jun-hyeok was different.
‘This works out perfectly.’
There were several things he needed to ask of her.
He had been deliberating on how to propose matters she would likely reject in shock, but now that she was directly offering him this opportunity, there was no reason to refuse.
Had Ariel known his true intentions, she would have recoiled and rejected them outright.
But unfortunately for her, she did not. Kang Jun-hyeok smiled pleasantly.
“Then I’m counting on you.”
“That’s my line!”
Three days passed in this manner, and the basic exchange of information concluded. Now it was time to select the representatives of the three planets, something that had been determined from the beginning.
“I’m entrusting this to you.”
“Do not indulge in greed and yield to others. That is one of the Great God’s teachings.”
The representatives of each planet handed over the position of representative to Kang Jun-hyeok.
Kang Jun-hyeok accepted without refusal.
[Second Universe Quest Representative: Kang Jun-hyeok.]
The moment the representative was decided, Earth’s Administrator burst forth. People gasped and retreated.
“Ahahaha! Of course you should be the representative! Yes! That’s how it should be!”
The black-haired Administrator’s face was beaming with delight. It couldn’t be otherwise. Kang Jun-hyeok’s existence had significantly elevated her standing among the Administrators.
On top of that, he had become the representative of the second Universe Quest. If he cleared this Quest brilliantly, her position would grow even further. She cheerfully patted Kang Jun-hyeok’s shoulder.
“Hmm?”
The delighted Administrator seemed to notice something odd and snapped her fingers.
Then a rectangular box appeared in the Administrator’s hand.
“I never gave you this. How do you have it?”
It was a Mothership Control Device.
The Administrator, briefly puzzled, soon shrugged her shoulders.
“I don’t know. You must have obtained it somehow!”
The Administrator paid it no further mind. More precisely, she was incapable of doing so. Instead, she seemed pleased and tightened her grip on the Mothership Control Device.
“This was created by my Authority, so I’ll remake it into something more useful!”
The form of the Mothership Control Device wavered and transformed. Upon receiving it, its name and effects had changed.
[Planet Control Device]
[For your Mothership or any Planet where you can exercise influence, you may control and regulate it within the designated range.]
Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes widened.
“…Is it possible to make modifications in this manner?”
“I told you, didn’t I? I created it with my Authority. It doesn’t matter!”
“I will use it gratefully.”
“That’s the spirit! I’m counting on you again!”
The Administrator left with a laugh.
Then the System Window appeared.
[Now the Quest begins in earnest.]
Uuuuuuuung!
An intense wave swept across the Planet. The Players could instinctively feel it—a Territory had been formed centered on the massive Medieval City where they stood.
[The second Universe Quest is none other than defending the land!]
[In one week, a tremendous and powerful entity will begin launching raids against all Players.]
[The raids will continue for a total of one month.]
[Defend your Territory during that time!]
[If you do not lose all your Territory, the Quest is a success!]
[Then everyone, do your best!]
The Quest window ended there. The Players were bewildered.
“Huh? What?”
“There are no allies this time?”
In the first Universe Quest, various allies had assisted the Players.
But this time, not a single ally appeared.
“L-let’s move quickly.”
The Players moved swiftly, gathering information.
From their findings, they learned that the Territory extended roughly 200 kilometers from the city center.
It was quite vast. The Players needed to be deployed efficiently.
And when a Player entered the Territory range, the space turned blue; conversely, where no Player existed, it turned red.
Likely that was the criterion for determining whether the Territory was secured. They managed to gather that much information.
But that was all.
What was the enemy?
How would they attack?
What preparations should the Players make?
Everything remained unknown. With no allies to aid them, they had to rely solely on their own strength. The Players were anxious and uneasy.
And then, Ariel Won spoke with confidence.
“Do not worry too much, everyone. I am here.”
Ariel clenched her fist and raised it high. Divine Light gleamed in her eyes.
“O Ground of Glory! Encircle this place!”
Kiiiiiing!
Brilliant light descended upon the Planet. The Players gasped in shock.
“Heavens!”
“What?!”
200 kilometers.
Brilliant light spread across the entire Territory.
It meant Ariel had exerted her Influence over the entire Territory. But Ariel didn’t stop there.
“Territory of Protection! Spread across the Ground of Glory!”
“Mercy of Healing! Spread across the Ground of Glory!”
“Barrier of Rejection! Spread across the Ground of Glory!”
“Hammer of Punishment! Spread across the Ground of Glory!”
Effects began to layer across the expanded Territory one by one. Players’ Abilities enhanced and Health Regeneration activated. On top of that, a Hammer materialized—one that repelled enemies and struck anything that dared breach the Territory.
“This is impossible!”
Kim Ha-young was stunned.
He was an Apostle of Yulsir, the God of Law. Because of this, he understood better than anyone what Ariel had just accomplished, and he couldn’t help but be astonished.
“What kind of Divine Authority range is this?!”
A God dominates a single Concept. Within that Concept, they wield power approaching the absolute, but outside that range, they become considerably powerless.
You could see it from the very first Universe Quest—the Guardian God Vibrahm, who had aided them, couldn’t exclude the Black Humans and could only mount a Defense.
But now Ariel was completely defying that Law.
Healing and Physical Enhancement. Exclusion of Hostility. And even a Hammer of Counterattack.
That wasn’t all. Exerting considerable power across a range of 200 kilometers, and she still seemed to have room to spare. Kim Ha-young muttered without thinking.
“Just how high is her Divine Power stat…?”
“Once it exceeded 300, I stopped checking. It rises just from breathing.”
“…!!”
Kim Ha-young’s jaw dropped.
Captivated by the Miracle unfolding before his eyes, he failed to grasp one crucial fact.
Ariel hadn’t borrowed the name of any God to do this.
[Hmm.]
[Even the Gods made quite an effort. Granting such power to a Mortal Being.]
Manbyeonggi and Eldyria murmured with interest.
‘As expected of the Saintess.’
The Avatar of the Gods and the Saintess of the One and Only God. Not yet fully blossomed, yet still formidable.
“Impressive.”
“Mmm.”
Hearing Kang Jun-hyeok’s murmur, Ariel made a pleased sound.
‘Self!’
I am special.
If you show me a specialness that rivals mine! Then I’ll acknowledge you!
At that gaze brimming with such emotion, Kang Jun-hyeok lightly raised a finger.
[Sanctuary of the Lost God.]
Kyiiing!
A Territory of Divine Power unfurled. Not as expansive as Ariel’s, but roughly the size of a large building. Ariel’s eyes widened like a rabbit’s.
“A God’s Sanctuary!”
It was also a sacred realm of the Divine—something no mortal could manifest. Kang Jun-hyeok spoke without acknowledging her astonishment.
“Two Divine Territories overlapping has strengthened this considerably. When your Health Points drop below half, enter here to recover. It should take roughly an hour to restore everything.”
“Ooooh….”
“Understood!”
The Players exclaimed in wonder, nodding their heads.
Ariel snapped back to her senses.
‘I-impressive, but still!’
At best, it was the size of a building. It couldn’t compare to her Domain, which stretched across a 200-kilometer range.
The moment she thought this, Kang Jun-hyeok produced a cubic box.
[Planet Control Tool]
[If you possess your Mothership or a Planet with a Territory where you can exercise influence, you may control and regulate it within a designated range.]
An item obtained from achieving a Perfect Clear on the 74th Floor.
‘Will it work?’
Kang Jun-hyeok lightly channeled his Will into the Mothership Control Tool. The Planet began to tremble.
Kuguguguguung!
“Ahhh!”
“Wait!”
The Players cried out in alarm and collapsed from the massive tremor. Moments later, the vibration subsided, and they gaped at the transformed landscape.
A colossal Castle Wall stretched before them.
A Castle Wall so immense it encircled the entire Territory.
‘It works.’
Kang Jun-hyeok’s expression shifted with intrigue.
Through the Administrator’s intervention, the Mothership Control Tool had become a Planet Control Tool.
And he had become the Representative to protect the Planet in the second Universe Quest.
It meant he possessed the Qualification to exercise Influence.
As a result, the Control Tool activated without significant issue.
‘This is good.’
One might wonder why the Planet Control Tool wasn’t provided from the start, but it was likely that Earth’s Administrator on the 50th Floor had no deep Connection with Kang Jun-hyeok. They probably hadn’t felt the Necessity to go this far.
In contrast, the current Administrator held profound Favor toward Kang Jun-hyeok. That difference seemed to have created this change.
Kang Jun-hyeok continued channeling power into the Control Tool.
Kuguguung!
The Planet’s terrain was being reshaped for easier defense.
The Players couldn’t close their mouths.
“The world… is!”
“The terrain is transforming!”
Defensive formations were being created across the 200-kilometer Territory.
It was nothing short of a Divine Miracle, and the People were shocked. Ariel was no exception. Especially since Kang Jun-hyeok wasn’t wielding Divine Power, making it all the more astonishing.
‘H-how is this possible?’
[Spirit Summon. High Grade Flame Spirit—Ultira.]
The shock didn’t end there. As Kang Jun-hyeok waved his hand, a Flame Lizard burst forth. Ariel flinched.
‘A high-grade spirit? Quite formidable!’
Ultira’s power stood at the cusp of the 2nd Tier, just before the 3rd Tier. In terms of individual strength alone, she possessed a clear advantage over the spirit.
[So we’re finally fighting?]
“That’s right. In a week, I’ll be facing the Victor in combat. Survey the territory and reinforce the weaker points.”
[Understood. I’ll move immediately.]
Ultira’s form transformed into pure flame.
Ariel quietly reflected on the powers Kang Jun-hyeok had demonstrated.
‘Pure divine sanctuary. The ability to reshape a planet’s terrain. And a contract with a high-grade spirit.’
…A secret. Could I uncover it?
A wave of profound unease washed over her.
