Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 166

[Level Up with God Episode 166]

* * *

Kwaaang-!

The walls of the temple were broken.

Collapsed fence.

Bodies on the floor and the ground turned upside down.

Patter-patter-.

Several rankers gathered inside the temple, which was shaking precariously.

Among them, Mantheus, a ranker from the temple of Hera, faced Hercules.

“Why are you doing this?”

He looked like he was almost crying.

There were dozens of rankers around, but the opponent was Hercules.

There was no way to stop him with this number of people.

“Bring Hera.”

The answer was still the same.

This is probably already the third time I’ve heard it.

Bring Hera.

Looking at the burning eyes and the way they were destroying the temple, I could tell that it was not just a greeting.

“He is not here.”

“okay?”

Hercules thought for a moment and nodded.

“Then they will come when the temple is completely destroyed.”

Simple and clear answer.

Jeopuk-.

Hercules took a step toward the gathered rankers.

“Thirty-two people. “If this is all, it would be better to get together more.”

As the distance got closer, Mantheus felt a shiver run down his spine.

“If there are about 300 people, it might be bearable.”

Three hundred people.

Those were all numbers mentioned with rankers in mind.

Some people would snort and say he was bluffing, but Manteus did not consider these words mere bluff.

no.

Rather, this was humility, not bravado.

‘Just because of the performance we showed in Gigantomachia, the rankings here will be over in an instant.’

But does that mean we should surrender?

No, even if I surrendered, it was a problem.

‘What on earth happened to open your eyes like that?’

It was bloody eyes.

An atmosphere that feels like they will never be seen.

The Hercules in front of him looked just like the one Mantheus had seen in Gigantomachia.

gulp-.

That was when Mantheus gave up the fight halfway.

“War heroes are a thing of the past.”

chuck-.

Hector, a new top ranker in Olympus, stepped forward.

“Times have changed. “This relic of an old world that has not been active for a thousand years should now retreat to the back room.”

Hector, covering his head with a helmet and wearing silver armor all over his body, approached Hercules.

He was clearly a fairly high ranking player.

Moreover, there are thirty rankers around him.

“Look.”

Mantheus quickly tried to dissuade Hector.

“Now we need to resolve things through dialogue rather than fighting. “The opponent is Hercules.”

“No matter how much we call Hercules, there are over 30 rankers here.”

number.

There must have been many people who died after being fooled by that trap, but Hector seemed not to have learned it.

“I requested support from Olympus. More people will probably arrive shortly.”

“It’s nice to hear that.”

Hercules folded his arms after hearing the whisper to Mantheus.

As if asking for more to come.

“…How could you bear to see something like that?”

Hector approached Hercules with his sword and shield.

“Of course, even if I die, I have to hit it….”

Buung-.

Quite a distance away.

Hercules’ fist stretched forward.

And that moment.

Tsk-!

The air cracked and Hector’s armor shattered.

Pow-!

Hector flying into the sky.

There was no time to say a will or anything else. The other rankers gaped as they watched Hector fly away as a single star.

“How far did you fly?”

“With one shot….”

A high ranker who is closest to a high ranker.

Hector was a highly anticipated prospect in Olympus recently. Even without blood ties, there was talk that if he did well, he might be able to create a tribe in the future.

But Hector flew away with just one hit.

Ttduk-.

“Now let’s get started.”

Kwaaang-!

Quad quaddddd-.

As soon as I stepped on the ground, the temple, which was already cracking, began to collapse.

“Destroy Olympus.”

* * *

[The contract has been completed.]

[You will receive the allegiance of the ‘Warrior of War and Struggle.’]

[The power of the ‘Warrior of War and Struggle’ will be restored.]

[The soul will participate in the fight against players belonging to Olympus. You cannot participate in the war.]

Chuck-.

After completing the contract, Ares knelt down towards Yuwon.

An Arthur-like pledge of allegiance.

‘As I live, days like this always come.’

Ares, who is famous for being a total idiot, bows down to himself instead of Zeus.

Even though he cannot be brought into the fight against Olympus, Ares in an intact state will be of considerable help to Yuwon at this point.

Yuwon regained his lost mana after a short rest and climbed up to the ceiling.

A few days have passed since I returned from my errands on the 38th floor.

yes-.

The player kit in the inventory vibrated.

[Hargan: Did you really succeed?]

Yuwon, who had just woken up, sent a reply.

[What’s going on?]

[Hargan: Hera’s temple was attacked. To Hercules.]

[I told him to hit that side first. He’s on our side now.]

After replying, Yuwon tried to put the player kit back.

That moment.

Ji-ing-.

[Hargan: What? Really?]

[Hargan: What did you do? Crazy Hercules? Really?]

[Hargan: I knew you were crazy, but how on earth did you persuade Hercules?]

A message that rings without stopping.

He seemed quite surprised.

Yuwon was about to reply but stopped.

It wasn’t a very productive conversation. Since Hercules attacked Hera’s temple, it wouldn’t be difficult to figure out what was going on without any further explanation.

‘It has begun.’

The first target was the Temple of Hera thanks to the information provided by Yuwon.

All beings related to Alcmene’s death.

Among them, the person most related to Alcmene’s death, excluding Zeus and Ares, was Hera.

‘If it’s Olympus, it’s better to intercept them one by one rather than going around killing them all. I also sent the approximate location to the player kit.’

The only ranker in Olympus who can stop Hercules is Zeus. No, there won’t be many rankers who can stop him even if you search this entire tower.

‘The destruction of Olympus has begun. Now there is only one preparation left….’

Jiing-.

The vibration started again.

It must have been the same vibration, but this time it felt different. Yuwon took out the player kit and checked the message.

[Hades: Preparations are complete.]

The message I was waiting for.

After confirming this, Yuwon sent a reply to Hargan’s message that he had just ignored.

[We will begin now.]

Hargan.

As the son of Zeus, the player who will later become the person who led the destruction of Olympus.

[Hargan: Start? Hasn’t it already begun?]

[That’s not it -]

The time has finally come to recoup the investment made in Hargan.

[There is something you can help with.]

* * *

The sky is hazy and cloudy.

The sky, which is never cloudy all year long, has turned unusually cloudy today.

Jump and jump -.

throne of heaven.

Temple of Zeus, king of Olympus.

Athena, the throne of war and wisdom, visited there and found her father.

“I was waiting.”

The rankers guarding the temple stepped aside during Athena’s visit.

Even if they were the three gods, Poseidon, there was one reason why they allowed Athena to visit, as they prevented unilateral visits.

‘Was it already announced?’

This situation felt unfamiliar.

A sense of crisis that I have never felt before.

I thought that maybe the tower called Olympus, which had been built solidly for thousands of years, might collapse.

‘The sky is hazy.’

Kurung boom!

Even a sky full of thunder.

It was Athena’s first time seeing a sky like this in this world.

‘Are you very angry?’

gulp-.

Even though she was the father who gave birth to her and raised her, she was afraid of Zeus at this moment.

no.

It was as scary as it was originally.

Zeus was the strongest and bloodiest of all the rankers she knew.

But compared to now, he was no different from a normal sheep.

Athena walked down the hallway and arrived at the exact center of the temple where Zeus was staying.

The back of Zeus looking down at the pond.

“Are you here?”

The pitch of the voice was no different from usual.

But Athena could tell that he was in quite a bad mood.

The sky above the open ceiling, bigger than his expression or voice, was telling that.

“Ares is dead?”

“…yes.”

“Hercules is destroying temples?”

“…yes.”

“You’re in trouble.”

Of course, Athena was very surprised.

I can’t believe I’m in trouble.

This was something he did not say even when his relationship with Asgard broke down and he personally put Poseidon in their prison to avoid war.

no.

Those were words that Athena had never uttered in any history she could remember.

Zeus of the world is in trouble.

“I will summon the troops immediately. Gather Dionysus and the Apollo siblings, Hermes…”

“The Apollo siblings are not my team.”

I knew that the Apollo siblings were in contact with Hargan.

I thought it would be like that up to that point.

However, the story has changed recently when Hargan met Hades.

“Are you talking about their contact with my uncle?”

“okay.”

“Does Hercules’ turning back have something to do with it?”

“At first I thought so.”

Zeus’ gaze turned to the side.

“But you didn’t have to go that far.”

“yes?”

“Do you know who killed Ares?”

I know.

After hearing the news, I personally saw the temple of Ares collapsing.

You don’t know how shocked she was.

A player who has just reached floor 40. I’ve heard a lot of stories before, but he already has the power to take on one of the tribes of Olympus.

But…

“Is it related to Jecheon Daeseong?”

Athena still did not rate Yuwon that highly.

Rather, I was just concerned about the self-immolation of Jecheon Daeseong next to me.

Although she already had the power of a high ranker, she was confident that she could take on any number of Yuwons.

Even more so, what would it look like in the eyes of Zeus?

however.

“I guess Jecheon Daeseong is the same as Hercules.”

“What are you talking about?…”

“There is such a thing.”

Ares died and Hercules changed his mind.

There was only one causal relationship between two people who had never seen each other before. As he returned, Zeus was able to understand why Hercules changed his mind.

‘Was this an underpinning to attract Hercules?’

I don’t know how I learned the information about Alcmene, but I thought I was quite clever.

Olympus has already suffered irreparable damage.

It was a situation that could no longer be tolerated.

“Athena.”

A serious call.

chuck-.

“Yes, my king.”

Athena knelt before him like a loyal servant awaiting orders.

But Zeus wasn’t looking at Athena.

What he was seeing was just the surface of the well, calm despite the wind.

“Strike the Heavenly Demon Church.”

Athena’s eyes shook.

Church of the Heavenly Demon.

It was the only guild associated with Yuwon that was known to the public.

“You mean…”

“Yes.”

At this point, there is only one reason for Olympus to be associated with the Heavenly Demon Church.

“We will bring in Kim Yu-won first.”

It was the moment when he became Zeus’ target.
