Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 152

[Level Up with God Episode 152]

Haha-.

I felt a warm feeling in my cheeks.

That feeling opened my eyes again. At that moment, I felt the warm feeling of the tongue on my face again.

licking-.

“…is that you?”

Yuwon pushed Ceroberos’ face away with his palm.

The sticky smell of saliva made me frown and come to my senses.

‘What happened?’

It’s been a long time since I felt this dazed.

Kiing whining-.

Three heads approach Yuwon at the same time. Although it was annoying, it didn’t seem hostile.

but.

If there was hostility, you probably would have woken up to the feeling of teeth biting into your face rather than the feeling of it being licked.

‘ocean.’

The fragmented memories came back quickly.

I was sucked deeper than this underground and experienced a world where I had no idea where I was.

Literally pure darkness where nothing exists.

The message referred to it as ‘hell.’

‘I guess I didn’t really go there.’

The place where Yuwon woke up was the same as before he fell into ‘there’.

There was no change in the surrounding terrain to say that it had fallen deep underground. It was probably not a physical phenomenon, such as a hallucination or a movement of the mind rather than the body.

‘But why…’

The car was puzzled by the sudden situation.

“Is it because of this?”

Yuwon looked down at the Quinae he was wearing in his hand.

He clearly remembered activating the Quinae at the last moment.

Moreover, hell was the name of a skill that Quinae possessed.

Near-infinite dark attribute mana that forms a sea full of darkness.

It was somehow similar to Quinae’s power.

‘A place that becomes the source of the power of the Black God Stone.’

I’ve thought about it a few times.

Where on earth does the power pouring out through Quine come from?

There is no item that creates infinite power. Skills attached to items are usually used using the player’s mana.

But Quinet was an exception.

A unique method of releasing the mana it possesses.

In this case, the item must have its own power or the power must be supplied from somewhere.

‘If that’s true…’

Yuwon thought of a huge sea of darkness made up of huge mana.

“It was bigger than I thought.”

The next day.

Yuwon went downstairs.

A place to leave after saying hello.

Hades sat down with Hargan inside the cave.

“I don’t know if I can really trust you.”

“But there’s nothing wrong with what you said, right?”

“Of course.”

eve.

Hades, who had originally planned to say hello briefly, ended up having a rather long talk with Yuwon.

Destroy Olympus.

It was a plan between Poseidon and Hades to join hands and drive out Zeus.

Although their goals were different, their goals were the same.

“If everything that guy says is true, there is a possibility…”

As Hades trailed off, Hargan sighed and shook his head.

“After all, it’s absurd, isn’t it?”

Assuming that the information Yuwon knew was true, it was not impossible to draw Hercules to this side.

But the prerequisite for that was a problem.

Yuwon left for that purpose, but it was difficult to have high expectations.

“If that were the case, I wouldn’t have sent it in the first place.”

“yes?”

“It won’t be impossible.”

“What makes you think that?”

“Who do you think is responsible for Olympus becoming like this?”

Hargan was speechless for a moment at Hades’ question.

The answer came without me having to think too long.

Yuwon Kim.

Because of the existence of that one person, many things changed in Olympus.

But I don’t know.

Even if that fact is recognized, no one can easily say that Olympus is being overturned because of it.

That’s something that just one player, even a high ranker, can’t do.

“I saved Hephaestus on the first floor and fought and won against the Olympus exam proctor. By taking over the Sea God Stone, Zeus kept Poseidon in check and Poseidon separated from Zeus.”

Even if you look at it one by one, it is not an easy task.

But as those events overlapped and overlapped, Olympus gradually began to collapse from within.

And that was half a year ago.

What happened was that one of the three pillars collapsed.

“The plan to destroy Asgard also failed due to his intervention. Zeus cut out a large part of Poseidon to avoid an all-out war with Asgard, but his own position is also shaking.”

An all-out war with Asgard was not what Zeus wanted.

His original goal was to destroy Asgard using the giants and demons.

However, since that became impossible, Zeus had no choice but to take passive action while keeping an eye on Asgard for the time being.

“One player cut out one of the three gods and tied Zeus’ feet.”

“After hearing that… it’s amazing.”

“That’s why I tested him. Rather than testing, I wanted to see it with my own eyes. “I wanted to know if the results he created were because he really had that level of skill.”

Of course, the result was disappointing.

Yuwon had nothing to show while subduing five Cerberus.

The only thing I showed was that I was learning how to become a giant as I heard.

“Whatever the result, I decided to invest in the history he was making. Regardless of his skills, his achievements are not something to ignore.”

“So you think this will be possible?”

“That’s the way it is.”

A simple sense of uncertainty.

However, the evidence has been sufficiently demonstrated so far.

“Well, for now, let’s just trust and do our job well. “You meet the Apollo siblings.”

“Then uncle…”

“I…”

Hades stood up right then and there, as if he couldn’t waste any more time.

“I’m going to Asgard.”

40th floor.

A world completely opposite to the 42nd floor, known as the world above the clouds.

Jeopuk-.

A white expanse of land.

No sky.

Yuwon muttered while looking at the white clouds spread out in the distance.

“It’s pretty.”

The buildings built on the clouds and the people living within them looked bright and busy.

Contrary to hell, in this world where night does not exist, misfortune seemed to not exist.

A world so beautiful that it is unrealistic.

This 40th floor was also the floor where Olympus’ influence was strongest.

-What are you feeling all of a sudden?

I looked to the side at Yuwon.

A companion wrapped in a robe and covering his face.

It was Arthur.

-Have you forgotten where we are going?

He was already setting the tone and raising the spirit. It was an ambiguous reaction, whether he was excited or nervous because it had been a long time since he had fought.

“Have you ever been here?”

-After the founding of Britain, I visited when meeting an Olympian ranker.

“Then I guess I know the way.”

-well. It’s so old…

it’s not really helpful in the end.

There was nothing more to say. For now, all we can do is find our way through limited information and enjoy the beautiful scenery, unlike hell.

Yuwon continued walking with Arthur and asked a question that suddenly occurred to him.

“Where do the dead go?”

-yes?

“Do you remember anything?”

It was a question I was curious about, but had never asked before.

The Arthur Yuwon knew was undead before he was a ghost.

[The dead worship you.]

The message I heard when I was summoned to Hell.

There was no way to answer the message, but if you think about it, Arthur in front of you was also one of the ‘dead men.’

Maybe he knows something?

Perhaps Arthur has also been to that sea?

But expectations were shattered in an instant.

-I have no memory.

“No?”

-Immediately after my death, I was bound by Susanoo and found myself in a border between this world and the afterlife. Maybe that’s why I don’t know what happens after death.

“…okay?”

Yuwon sighed and shook his head.

“That doesn’t help.”

-…sorry.

After hesitating for a moment, Arthur opened his mouth after thinking about it.

-Still, I vaguely saw something that looked like the sea.

“ocean?”

Yuwon’s eyes sparkled.

Although it may be temporary, it is probably certain as it is a direct experience. Moreover, the image Arthur described was quite similar to what Yuwon experienced.

-yes. But I can’t be sure because it was so short-lived.

“no.”

Yuwon shook his head.

“That’s enough.”

ocean.

Just that vague answer gave me confidence in my vague guess.

And that was enough.

Even if they think the same thing, there is a big difference between guess and certainty.

in between.

-I can see it over there.

Above the wide spread clouds.

I saw a towering temple.

No, it had no walls and was more like a large castle than a temple.

Hundreds of stairs.

Low ceilings and a large area reminiscent of the Colosseum.

Yuwon hurried his steps to a place that was just beginning to come into view.

Jeopuk-.

I stepped onto the first stairs.

To the left and right of the stairs, countless players were lined up with their backs turned.

“There are so many people.”

-Because it’s Olympus.

The gaze of the players lined up on the stairs of the amusement park was unusual.

No, to be exact, it was because of Arthur who was with Yuwon.

“It looks suspicious.”

-Do you mean me?

“It’s bound to look suspicious since everything is covered from head to toe.”

just as expected.

“Stop for a moment.”

Meanwhile, the player who had been watching Yuwon and Arthur closely approached and blocked their path.

“I don’t think they are our believers. What’s going on here?”

Yuwon looked at the players looking down at them from the top of the stairs.

Those who were dressed like priests and were armed with swords and spears that did not match their clothes.

The presence of a player carrying a weapon in the temple, the symbol of Olympus, meant one thing.

“You’ve come to the right place.”

“what?”

“This is the temple of Ares, right?”

“What…”

“How dare you call his name in vain!”

“It is an unforgivable sin!”

“Reveal your name and identity right now! Otherwise, you will have to pay for your sins!”

Chaang Chang-!

Players each take out their weapons and aim.

This is why fanatics were scary.

The returning repertoire was all the same. Yuwon sighed and looked up at the temple.

A temple resembling the Colosseum.

I thought it was a truly Ares-like temple.

“Olympus has a lot of money. “Let’s build all these buildings for a guy who just became a high ranker.”

It wasn’t something I couldn’t understand.

Ares is a direct descendant of Zeus and Hera.

In terms of lineage alone, he was the highest pureblood among Zeus’ descendants.

It was natural that Ares would be given the position of the two most influential high rankers in Olympus.

Also, Ares was the one who reached the rank the fastest in Olympus until Hargan and Hercules appeared.

In other words, he was born with the so-called diamond spoon.

“If you don’t want your master to be insulted like that, go upstairs and tell him.”

The players under Ares had something in common.

All of them are belligerent and have strong pride.

“To the throne of war and struggle-.”

also.

“Kim Yu-won said he would take on the challenge.”

They never shied away from a fight.
