Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 173
[Level Up with God Episode 173]
* * *
Three eyes resting on the pond.
In the midst of the long silence, a small voice was heard loudly.
“You lost.”
It was Apollo who broke the long silence and opened his mouth.
Above the pond, Athena was seen dropping the Aegis to the ground, and Cheon Moo-jin was pointing a sword at Athena’s neck.
The fight is over.
It was a result no one expected.
“Why don’t you tell me now? “Why did you call us?”
“….”
Zeus was speechless.
It was the most terrifying silence.
Zeus, who did not even change his expression, always made those who were close to him fear him.
“father?”
Artemis’s Call.
At that moment, Zeus’ head turned.
“I guess I’ll have to look at it again for three thousand years.”
“yes?”
It was an answer that had nothing to do with the question.
Apollo was nervous. He asked again, preparing to leave at any moment.
“What do you mean, three thousand years?”
“Once again, giving birth to and raising several children. They become rankers…”
Zeus trailed off as if he was disappointed.
“It is time for the shattered power of Olympus to be restored.”
Apollo got goosebumps at those words.
It was also the answer to my first question.
“Are you planning on cutting us off too?”
“Don’t you know better?”
“Because it’s no longer needed?”
“okay.”
Apollo and Artemis did not participate in Gigantomachia, contrary to Zeus’ wishes.
It started after that.
The Apollo siblings fell out of favor with Zeus.
‘I was wondering why now…’
Apollo’s eyes turned to the pond that had been illuminating the battlefield just a moment ago.
‘Was it to tie us up?’
Did they know that they were in contact with Hargan?
Before destroying Olympus in earnest, the two were contemplating whether to get involved in the fight.
But it seems that Zeus knew that.
“It’s all messed up.”
Zeus stood up.
It’s so scary!
A huge bolt of electricity erupted around where Apollo and Artemis were standing. As if he was very angry, Zeus’ magic energy surrounded the surroundings, making a loud noise.
‘We must run away.’
Definitely made a decision.
Apollo’s eyes glanced upward.
Although he wasn’t prepared for times like this, he had already brought the sun chariot.
‘If only I could ride the carriage…’
No matter how much Zeus was, he wouldn’t be able to catch up easily.
however.
Flash-.
Clouds were hazy in the sky.
A group of bright lights emanated from it.
“It’s been a long time since we had a father-son reunion, and I’m sad that it’s already gone.”
Patter patter patter-.
Charred remains of something fall from the open sky.
The moment Apollo saw it, his eyes widened as if torn.
Apollo immediately knew what this wreckage was.
‘The sun chariot…’
is one of the most popular means of transportation in the tower created by Hephaestus over the years.
It was reduced to ashes by the power unleashed by Zeus.
“I will ask you one more question.”
Jeopuk-.
Zeus approached the Apollo siblings.
“Which side are you?”
* * *
Athena and Hermes were imprisoned in the deepest prison of Wulin. His magical power was suppressed and his body was tied with a rope that even a high ranker could not break.
Heavenly Mountain collapsed.
Although the battle was won, the Heavenly Demon Church lost its home.
“I guess I’ll have to completely move my headquarters.”
“Where?”
“What about Hapbi, where the Namgung family is located?”
“There are still many people in Murim who are afraid of the Heavenly Demon Church. “It is premature to move headquarters.”
“But you can’t stay here forever, right? “Now is the time to ask Moorim for cooperation.”
“I agree too. This is how it happened….”
People from the Heavenly Demon Church gathered in a village or barracks near Cheonsan and held a meeting.
There were two topics.
The treatment of the captured Olympian rankers, including Athena and Hermes, and the relocation of the Heavenly Demon Church’s headquarters.
Since both were important matters, the meeting did not end even though it lasted all day.
And that time.
Yuwon was sighing, lying in the barracks he had obtained from the Heavenly Demon Church.
“It takes a long time.”
Knock-.
Another increase in gold.
The egg looked like it would shatter if struck.
Of course, if they were going to hatch it that way, they would have broken the eggs or fried them a long time ago.
[Hatching.]
Boring message.
Yuwon took out an egg, not knowing when it would hatch, and watched it quietly.
Perhaps because the hatching rate was full, the purple patterns were everywhere. Instead, the surface of the egg became completely purple and other parts disappeared.
‘It’s fascinating.’
[The ‘Hwa Eye’ can see the inside.]
Just in case, Yuwon used the Hwa Eye again to examine the inside of the egg, which had a lot of cracks.
but.
‘I can’t believe I can’t see anything like this.’
Still nothing was visible in the egg.
Even when using the Fire Eye, the egg still only appeared as a purple sphere.
‘This side is also this way…’
Yuwon turned his head and looked at the woman sitting on the bed across from him.
‘This side is also in trouble.’
Pandora.
She was looking at Al with blank eyes, just like Yuwon.
Unlike when we first met, his expression showed no trace of emotion.
‘The only thing that consumed it was the power of the outer. There was not even a small scratch on the body.’
It was an amazing thing.
It certainly looked like the egg had been eaten, but in reality, Pandora seemed unharmed.
What the egg ate was really just the ‘Outer’ that was in Pandora.
‘An empty doll with no emotions.’
That was the current state of Pandora as concluded by Yuwon.
She had a huge, uncontrollable mass of emotions consumed and her expression was literally empty.
“What are you doing?”
At that time, Hargan, who lifted the cloth and poked his head into the barracks, asked Yuwon.
In response to that question, Yuwon pointed to the egg with a nod.
“why? “Do you want to eat?”
“no. “I think I’ll wake up soon.”
“Ah, is it a divine beast? that?”
Hargan’s eyes sparkled as if he was curious and he stepped inside.
But then.
“Ahh! ah! “Surprise!”
Hargan screamed in surprise when he discovered Pandora in the amusement park’s barracks.
He was a person who had been an enemy until just a day ago.
Moreover, Hargan was scared of seeing Pandora, as just being nearby made him feel uncomfortable enough to want to commit suicide.
“What what what? “Why are you here?”
“Even if I tell you to go, I won’t go. “Not even talking.”
“Then you can just kick me out?”
“I want to do that too.”
Yuwon shrugged his shoulders and looked at Hargan and asked.
“But can you do that?”
“…no.”
Pandora stayed next to Yuwon and did not move.
There was no use pulling his hand and he had no will to get out on his own.
It was impossible to pull it out by force.
Not only did the Holy Fire no longer work, but simply in terms of strength, she was superior to Athena.
‘Unless Hades comes directly, I don’t think there is anyone on this side who can bring out Pandora.’
For that reason, Pandora stayed close to Yuwon.
Actually, there was no need to kick him out.
Because she really didn’t do anything by Yuwon’s side.
“I can’t stay here anyway. Goes.”
“why?”
“Unlike you, I have weak courage. “I still feel a little sick.”
Hargan left the barracks as if running away.
It was a good thing since I was planning on sending them out anyway.
Knock-.
Gold opens again.
It seemed like the time had come.
Slurrr-.
A human image emerged from Yuwon’s shadow.
An undead with the face of Lancelot.
“Arthur.”
Arthur knelt in front of Yuwon.
-Please speak.
“Guard the entrance to the barracks. “Don’t let anyone in.”
I don’t know what will happen from now on.
The power of the outerwear that I had learned so far was not something such a small barracks could handle.
Maybe someone will come in here and get caught up in it, or maybe a really dangerous monster will come out.
That was the reason Yuwon called Arthur to guard the barracks.
however.
-Yes, I understand….
Sigh-.
One step ahead of Arthur, there was a person standing in front of the barracks after listening to Yuwon’s words.
“Pandora…?”
Pandora was sitting across from the amusement park just a moment ago.
She was standing as if guarding the entrance to the barracks, with her back to Yuwon.
“What are you doing?”
“I told you to stop it.”
“I didn’t say that to you.”
“I heard it.”
It was reckless.
When they told me to get out, I thought I was deaf, but I heard things like this too, so it was a problem.
“Oh yeah.”
Yuwon knew from what had just happened that there was no use in saying anything hurtful.
Besides, there was no need to decline.
If Pandora stands guard, the opponent, whether Heavenly Demon or Athena, will not be able to enter here.
‘I don’t know what happened, but…’
A change occurred in Pandora.
What it was like would have to be found out later.
‘This one goes first now.’
So so so so-.
Gold increases on the purple surface of the egg.
I felt a familiar energy as purple light leaked out between the cracks that had expanded.
‘also.’
Orochi’s head and Lancelot Pandora.
This one ate the remnants of the outer and increased the hatching rate.
Of course, I thought that its identity would also be related to the outerwear, and with this, that guess turned into certainty.
Now there is one problem.
Outer God.
The question is which of these so-called external gods is the one inside.
Blah blah blah.
Gold cracking faster and faster.
It was really an instant compared to the long wait for it to spread throughout the egg and crack the surface.
Kang-!
Hwaaaaaaaaaaa!
A group of lights emanating from inside an egg.
Yuwon looked at it without avoiding it.
And that moment.
[‘?’s egg’ hatches.]
[Starts contract with ‘…?’]
“…What?”
I understand hatching, but it’s a contract.
This was unexpected.
The group of lights did not disappear easily. The energy emanating from me grew stronger and stronger, to the point where it became difficult to stand close to me.
Before I knew it, Pandora had turned and was looking this way.
Tsutsu Tsutsu-.
A swarm of light and energy emitted from the broken egg begin to surround Yuwon and enter his body.
The incomprehensible power that exists outside the tower.
The moment Yuwon accepted that power, he realized.
‘Is this a contract?’
This power was originally possessed by eggs.
The process of contract was to share, rather than share, that power.
Shoot ah-.
The power emanating from the egg gradually decreased over time.
Also, the light gradually weakened, revealing the inside little by little.
And then.
[‘…?’ hatches successfully.]
[‘…?”s growth rate is 0%.] [
Please name ‘…?’.]
[‘…?’ The level of is 1.]
“Level?”
An absurd message appeared in front of Yuwon.
