Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 165
[Level Up with the Gods Episode 165]
* * *
Even if his mental strength was once broken, Ares’ soul did not disappear immediately.
Above all, the problem was the length of time Yuwon could sustain the summoning of hell.
‘This is the first time I’ve maintained it this long.’
Yuwon looked at Hercules, who was punching the soul of Ares that had not yet been fully regenerated.
He swung his fists almost to the point of madness.
It was natural.
Even though the fundamental cause lies with Zeus, Hercules had only just seen the memories of the necklace.
Ares’ sword pierces Alcmene’s body.
Now that Hercules had seen that scene with his own eyes, it would not have mattered how many times he tore Ares to death.
‘I won’t be satisfied with this much, but…’
The sound of breathing becomes heavier.
Wow-.
Hercules’ fists gain strength again.
‘I hope it lightens the load a little.’
Kwaang-!
Ares’ body explodes again.
A soul torn beyond recognition.
[The soul of the ‘warrior of war and struggle’ is in danger.]
[Rest is needed.]
[Magic power is insufficient.]
Ares’ soul and Yuwon’s magic power are slowly reaching their limits.
Hercules stood still and waited for Ares’ soul to return to its original state.
at that time.
“Hercules.”
Yuwon approached Hercules, who was half unconscious.
“Finish it now.”
“It’s still a little…”
“It’s hard for me now.”
Tsutsutsu-.
The summoned space shook unstably.
Only then did Hercules realize that Yuwon had been using skills to maintain Ares’ soul and allow him to remain in this state.
Moreover, if Yuwon was a necromancer, Yuwon’s mana was needed to restore the torn soul.
“You held on too long.”
“Tell me later if you need to. “I’ll let you hit me again.”
Ares, who was gradually being restored to his original form, trembled at those words.
But Hercules shook his head at those words.
“No, it’s okay. “That’s enough.”
“Is it enough?”
“no. “It’s not enough.”
Hercules still had a hot glow in his eyes.
He glanced back at Ares, who was trembling, and continued speaking while clenching his fists, which naturally gained strength.
“But he’s not the only one I’m going to hit.”
“…but.”
Ares was the one who killed Alcmene himself, but that was only a very small part of what caused her death.
Many people were involved in her death.
Ares, Zeus, Hera, and other rankers from Olympus, Zeus’ limbs.
“I don’t think it will be resolved until we destroy all their heads. “I did everything I could to that guy.”
“Do you want me to help you?”
“done. “What are you helping with your skills?”
“I know a lot.”
Hercules’ eyes brightened.
If you think about it, the only way to help yourself is not necessarily to fight together.
“What else do you know?”
“Who is attached to whom?”
Information that would tempt Hercules.
“And who joined in killing Alcmene.”
Of course, all that information was learned through the mouth of Hercules himself.
“Whether you listen to the story and believe it or not is up to you. But wouldn’t it be worth checking?”
“…Let’s hear it.”
Yuwon explained enemies and allies to Hercules.
It would have been difficult to let Hercules, who had turned his head, recklessly attack Olympus. In fact, after the end of the Second Gigantomachia, Hercules learned of Alcmene’s death and recklessly attacked the Olympian rankers.
What Hercules needed now was to identify his enemies.
“So, just in case, don’t go to attack Zeus first. “You still can’t defeat him alone.”
Hercules could not guarantee that he would be able to win against Zeus.
No, even if you thought it was worth competing, they would have stopped you.
Because Hercules, who could not obtain an immortal body like Son Goku, could not be involved in such an uncertain fight.
“Destroy Olympus….”
A plan centered on Hades.
By changing Hercules’ mind, the plan was more than halfway advanced. It was an absurd name, but after hearing Yuwon’s story, Hercules did not think it was impossible.
but.
“I know the plan, but that doesn’t mean you have to wait patiently just in case, right?”
“no way.”
Yuwon shook his head.
If that were the case, he probably would have stopped it first.
“Now, destroy it as much as you want. “Everything without a reason.”
Sigh-.
The corners of the mouth go up.
Hercules turned around and looked at Yuwon and asked.
“Can you come up by yourself?”
“Go first.”
“It’s good that you are quick to notice.”
Kwaduk-.
Hercules’ legs, which were standing on the ground, gained strength.
“Then I’ll go first.”
“I won’t contact you.”
Kwaang-!
Hercules jumped up with strength in his feet and climbed up onto the open ceiling.
The floor caved in and the ground shook like an earthquake.
Hercules went out through the hell summoned by Yuwon and climbed up onto the ceiling he had broken through.
“It’s the same noisy thing when it moves.”
Knock-.
Is it because of the shock just now?
Yuwon’s mana surrounding him shook. Ares felt relieved as the summoned Hell was in danger.
at that time.
“We still have something left to talk about, right?”
Sigh-.
Yuwon made eye contact with Ares and bent down.
Then, a terrifying light emanated from Ares’ eyes.
-I forgot you were a necromancer.
“Relax your eyes. “When you say something nice.”
-How dare you….
“Hey Heracle….”
-Wait!
Ares shouted urgently.
Emotions felt through the soul.
He, who was not even afraid of death, was completely cowering and afraid at this moment.
It was natural.
Just moments ago, he was neither alive nor dead, and had felt the pain of his body being torn apart and torn apart by Hercules several times.
Even though he returned thinking that his revenge on Ares was over, Hercules would swing his fist at Ares whenever Yuwon asked him to.
“for a moment?”
Yuwon looked at Ares as if that was the end.
I had something to add.
The hesitation was brief.
-…Hang on.
“That’s right.”
The desired response came immediately.
It seemed like he was quite scared of Hercules.
but.
Even if it wasn’t just the pain, you would feel a lot of fear just by facing Hercules with his eyes wide open.
“If I’m going to use you as a mindless undead anyway, I can do that.”
Ares’ head fell down.
Necromancers, who were rare even in the Tower, had the ability to bind the souls of their opponents and turn them into undead without thought.
The same goes for the amusement park in front of you.
“But wouldn’t it be better to fight with your own will rather than with someone else’s will?”
-Are you asking me to swear an oath of allegiance?
“Then at least you can swing the sword with your own will.”
The souls of high rankers were precious.
Especially a talented high ranker like Ares.
Yuwon wanted to turn him into a complete undead if possible.
-I refuse.
Answer as expected.
-You are the enemy of Olympus. No matter how scared I am of Hercules, I cannot point my sword at my father and mother of my own will.
To Hercules, they were all people whom he did not mind killing, but to Ares, Zeus and Hera were the parents who gave birth to him and raised him.
No matter how much they feared Hercules, it was difficult to think of a high ranker like Ares pointing his sword at them.
It was a natural result.
In this case, we should have negotiated rather than threatening and persuading, which did not work.
“Then I guess I’ll have no choice but to use you in the war like this.”
Ares’ eyes wavered.
Perhaps he was thinking about his future.
Now that you’ve beaten the whip, it’s time to give the carrot.
“But if you will help me, I will at least leave you out of the fight against Olympus.”
-…Really?
It was a late question, but it caught my eye.
You have to catch it here.
“I promise to bet on the system. “Let’s make a contract with me.”
[A pledge contract has been requested.]
[When the contract is concluded, the soul becomes ‘completely’ vested in the player.] [
If the contract is not kept, the soul becomes free.]
A contract between the undead and the necromancer.
A promise safer than anything else bound by the system.
“Are you going to accept it?”

77th floor.
The temple of Hera, a high ranker and first wife of Zeus.
It was known as the place where the most rankers stayed in Olympus. The luxury of the temple was the highest among the tribes of Olympus, and the wealth it had accumulated over a long period of time knew no bounds.
Excluding the Three Gods, he is the being with the most power and authority in Olympus.
She was Hera.
A garden and gate as wide as a castle.
While walking there, the rankers enjoyed the leisurely weather and peace.
“Is Hera still here?”
“There is no news.”
“This outing is going to be a bit long.”
“I’m a little confused these days. “Even if the loach muddied the water, it was still very cloudy.”
There were quite a few rumors about Kim Yu-won.
Although I don’t know the details, it was known to rankers that Zeus and Poseidon were separated because of this.
One axis of the three gods collapsed.
The rankers who followed Poseidon disappeared or left the guild, and an unusual atmosphere arose between the other three gods, Hades and Zeus.
“Who would have thought that the three gods would be scattered like this…”
“Who would have thought that the other person would come out like this too?”
“I heard that two other people joined hands and worked together in advance.”
“that’s right. “There was a story like that.”
Rumors just abound.
But even if the rumors were true, there was no big problem.
“Still, it’s a fight with an obvious outcome.”
“but. “Because there are war heroes here.”
The three gods Zeus and Hercules.
In addition, Poseidon was imprisoned in Asgard.
Zeus’s power was still strong and he was still like Olympus itself.
“But if a fight breaks out, it will be a big war.”
“I know.”
A ranker looked up at the sky.
Clouds floating quietly.
“It feels like the calm before the storm.”
Was that the beginning?
Kwaang-!
“What is it?”
“Is this an intrusion?”
The wall of the fence surrounding the temple collapsed, and cloudy smoke rose upward.
On top of the collapsed fence.
The silhouette of a fairly large man appeared.
“one person?”
“Without fear, I asked where this place was….”
The moment the angry ranker was about to step forward.
“for a moment.”
The oldest ranker blocked his path with his hand.
“That silhouette…”
It was an unforgettable sight.
A hero who roamed the battlefield wearing a lion mask and carrying a club.
Kwaang-!
He shouted, smashing the temple fence again with his fist.
“Where are you Hera?”
Woooooo-.
A voice so loud that it seems as if it will explode your eardrums.
Mantheus, a ranker from the Temple of Hera who knew him, muttered.
“He Hercules?”
The hero of Gigantomachia stormed into the temple of Hera.
