Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 167

[Level Up with God Episode 167]

* * *

Athena was silent for a moment.

It was difficult to answer.

“There is a Heavenly Demon in the Heavenly Demon Church.”

He was clearly a high ranker who had not been active for a long time.

However, he was a high ranker long before Gigantomachia.

“Also, behind Kim Yu-won is the alter ego of Jecheon Daeseong.”

Cheonma.

And Jecheon Daeseong Fortress.

Moreover, Kim Yu-won alone must be seen as having better skills than Ares.

In such a situation, fighting against the Heavenly Demon Church as an enemy was not a very good choice in terms of military power.

“We need at least four high rankers here, including me.”

“Take Hermes with you. “I will decide on the other one by tomorrow.”

“If it’s just one person…”

“It’s time to take her out, too.”

Athena’s eyes brightened.

When I see the phrase ‘take it out’, only one person comes to mind.

“Is that true?”

“He’s probably waiting. “You’ll want to come out on a roll.”

“She’s not really suited to the battlefield.”

“know.”

Zeus got up from the pond and stood up.

He looked away from the pond and walked away.

“So, when you fight with her, you should step aside for a moment.”

Athena turned her head and looked at the pond where Zeus was looking.

Calm sleep.

‘What were you looking at?’

After becoming the king of Olympus.

Zeus, who severely restricted his outside activities, saw the world he wanted to see through this pond.

Times like these days when Olympus is shaking.

What was he really looking at?

Now that Zeus is gone.

Athena saw her reflection on the pond as if she was drawn to something.

* * *

42nd floor of hell.

In the deepest part of it all, Hargan was able to meet the person he had been waiting for.

“I call from far away.”

The deepest place underground.

It was a place where all the most dangerous monsters that inhabit Hell, including Cerberus, appeared.

The two met in a place that even rankers were reluctant to enter.

“late.”

Yuwon, sitting on a stone, was looking at the time displayed on the player kit.

“I ran hard. “The road from top to bottom must be blocked.”

“What kind of traffic jam is this?”

“Traffic jam? “What is that?”

“There is such a thing.”

Yuwon shrugged and stood up.

As it is the lowest space, it is dark everywhere.

Hargan asked, looking around, where even the faint light was precious.

“But isn’t it dangerous here? I guess it’s too low….”

It’s so scary!

A brightening background.

Several shining spheres of electricity appeared around Yuwon.

That moment.

“uh…?”

Hargan discovered the corpses of monsters that had been hidden in the dark until now.

‘Why are there so many?’

A few hundred.

No, it seemed like there were probably a thousand of them. It seemed like they had gathered to eat Yuwon and smell blood.

It seems like all the monsters nearby have gathered.

In this empty plain where not even a single blade of grass grew and there was nothing, Yuwon cleared out all the monsters and waited for him.

“…I don’t think I invited you to have a private conversation.”

Yuwon nodded at Hargan’s words.

“I heard you have something to help with.”

“So what is it?”

“What floor did you go up to now?”

“now? “61st floor.”

“It’s fast.”

“It’s quick then. “If it wasn’t so busy these days, it probably would have gone up faster.”

Unlike Yuwon, Hargan focused on climbing the tower as fast as possible. Yuwon alone climbed the tower at an unprecedented rate, but in terms of speed alone, Hargan was faster than Yuwon.

“You too, right? this.”

Pajijik-.

A sphere of lightning floating in the air.

Yuwon pointed with his eyes at the ‘piece of lightning’ he had created.

“Okay then.”

Pajik-!

A yellow electric shock began to flow through Hargan’s body.

Unlike Yuwon’s, which was obtained as a reward from the test, it was an ability mixed in Hargan’s genes.

A purer, more complete skill.

Simply looking at the quality and quantity of magical power, Yuwon’s power was stronger, but the mastery of his skills was incomparable.

“But why is this?”

“Are you prepared to fight your father?”

Hargan’s eyes widened for a moment and then returned to normal.

Yuwon said that his fight with Zeus was a fight with his ‘father’.

The question was whether he was ready to take a different path from his father.

“Why are you asking that because you think I’m worried about it?”

“I’m asking just in case.”

“It doesn’t mean it isn’t. That’s the same even if it’s your father. And I’m grateful that you gave birth to me, but it’s your mother who raised me.”

Hargan, who answered without hesitation, looked a little bitter.

“Even if you look at Hercules, his older brother…”

Hercules.

An Olympian war weapon planned and created by Zeus.

After Hercules’ change of mind, Hargan asked Yuwon about Hercules, and after hearing the answer, Hargan was overcome with complicated emotions.

I wonder if that might be the case for me too.

“The Olympus I see is a place where purpose and results are more important than cause or justice. “Whatever the means for that purpose was, I moved without knowing the extent of it.”

“Are you going to change that?”

“At least that’s what my mother taught me.”

The corners of Yuwon’s mouth rose.

It wasn’t a very long conversation.

But at least this conversation was enough to convince me.

‘It hasn’t changed.’

I wondered what if my intervention had made a difference between the Hargan I knew in the future and the Hargan I knew now.

But he didn’t change.

no.

Rather, he quickly grew into the Hargan that Yuwon knew.

Now there was something else that was lacking.

“I have something for you to help with.”

“I? What?”

“Your father. “Fight with Zeus.”

Hargan’s pupils grow bigger in an instant.

“You participate there too.”

“Are you crazy?”

Hargan’s voice grew louder.

It wasn’t a question of whether life was a waste or anything like that.

“Why am I wearing that? You and me… no, except you. This is a mistake. Anyway, is there anything I can do to help in that fight?”

The corpses of monsters scattered around. And his record of winning the fight against Ares.

Hargan quickly remembered two things and started talking in gibberish.

But the conclusion was no different.

“Are you not confident?”

“…You have to think about your pride. Myself? “How dare you do that in front of anyone?”

This is completely understandable as the other person is the other person.

Zeus.

The king of Olympus and a being himself.

In the fight against him, Hargan was nothing more than a handful of dust.

“Zeus. King of Olympus, throne of heaven, master of thunderbolts. There are many names. “At the moment, the ranking is 9th.”

Yuwon recited general information about Zeus.

Ranked 9th.

Of course, that’s only at this point.

‘Later, I went up to 5th place.’

A rare rise among high rankers who have entered the top tier.

Although the power of Olympus weakened in the future, Zeus’s power itself is said to have become stronger.

“I know. No, you don’t know? “How high is it to be ranked 9th on this tower?”

“I know, me too.”

You probably know better than anyone else.

In this era, there are few people who have met as many top-level high rankers as Yuwon.

“so? “Are you saying you can’t fight face-to-face because you’re no match for me right now?”

“It’s not that I can’t do it, it’s that it’s a meaningless fight…”

“It’s meaningful.”

It’s so scary!

Yuwon’s electricity soared and mixed with Hargan’s.

“certainly.”

“…I know you’re not the type to talk nonsense.”

Hargan let out a long sigh.

I know it’s nonsense.

But the Yuwon in front of me has done that ridiculous thing every time.

perhaps.

I really thought that maybe it would be like that this time too.

“What is the basis?”

“There are two things. Which one would you like to hear first?”

“Does order matter?”

“there is. Because the basis for the second is created because of the first.”

“Then you just have to say it in that order, right? “Why do you even ask?”

“Because you will be shocked. “Prepare your mind and listen.”

“Am I shocked? why?”

“Because you….”

One of the two reasons why Yuwon chose Hargan.

“Because you are the only child Zeus loved.”

For that reason alone, he was the key to controlling the fate of Olympus.

* * *

Those were cruel words.

I have to fight against the father who loves me.

Hargan was more surprised than ever by Yuwon’s words and denied what he said.

But it didn’t matter whether I believed it or not.

Even if that were true, the fact that Zeus was going astray was an unchangeable fact.

but.

‘I guess I’ll have to wait and see whether I’ll make the same choice even knowing this.’

Yuwon looked at Hargan, who was sitting in the middle of the monsters’ corpses.

Pajijik pajit-!

Electric shock that shakes unstablely.

This was proof that Hargan’s emotions were not being controlled.

Yuwon could not answer Hargan’s question ‘Why?’

But it was definitely true.

Hargan is probably thinking about all sorts of things right now, including the truth of what Yuwon said.

“I’m going crazy.”

Hargan scratched his head and spoke for the first time in hours.

Yuwon approached Hargan again and asked.

“Are your thoughts organized?”

“There’s nothing to clean up. “I don’t even know if what you say is true or not.”

“If you don’t believe me, I have nothing to say.”

“no. Actually, I believe it. “Because what you said is surprisingly true.”

“That’s usually the case.”

“Boasting. “Did you come from the future or something?”

Yuwon gave a vague answer by shrugging his shoulders. Of course, I was a little stung inside.

“Anyway, let’s say you believe me.”

“Does anything change? “The only thing I have is my heart.”

“So, the question is, how has that feeling changed?”

“We will fight. “That hasn’t changed.”

The results also did not change.

“It’ll still hurt. If my father loves me “If only I could help bring down that father.”

Hargan’s tone was calmer than expected.

Maybe I’ve organized my thoughts well, or maybe I just haven’t realized it yet.

Anyway, his answer remained the same.

“But there is no war. “Hundreds and tens of millions of people cannot die in a meaningless war.”

“Then that’s a good thing.”

“Then let’s hear it now.”

The flow of conversation was interrupted for a moment.

“What’s the second reason you need me?”

That was when Hargan forced the flow to continue again.

Ji-ing-.

The player kit rang in Hargan’s arms.

“wait for a sec.”

There was a lot of important communication recently, so Hargan hurriedly checked the player kit.

The moment I checked the message that arrived.

“…hey.”

Hargan’s expression hardened and he turned the player kit to show Yuwon the screen.

“Look at this.”

And in it.

[Apollon: My father ordered an attack on the Heavenly Demon Church.]

[Apollon: I heard your friend is the head of a small church there?]

There was more urgent business for Yuwon than for Hargan.
