Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 180

[Level Up with the Gods Episode 180]

* * *

“But where on earth is the lightning?”

The king of another world who knows Zeus.

Odin asked.

“Unlike Poseidon and Hades, he doesn’t have anything on his body.”

Zeus does not step forward unless it is for something very special.

The last time he fought properly using the power of lightning was when the destruction of Olympus was in full swing.

No matter how much he was Odin, he couldn’t find the location of the thunderbolt against Zeus, who didn’t even use his strength.

“Maybe we should find the hidden lightning first….”

“My father has never hidden the lightning. Rather, he was always showing us.”

Thunderbolt was the strongest item that Zeus had.

It was Olympus itself and was known to have the greatest power in the entire tower.

I can’t believe you’re always showing off such a powerful item to the outside world.

However, not many people knew what Zeus’ thunderbolt was.

“In order to succeed in destroying Olympus, we must take away his thunderbolt.”

It was a necessity, not a choice.

Without taking away the thunderbolt, it would not be possible to defeat Zeus just by combining Hercules, who is still in an incomplete state, with the other two gods.

Therefore, taking away the lightning was the most important role of the person who returned to the past.

Hercules also knew this, and he might be the one to return to the past.

“My father’s thunderbolt…”

That’s why he confessed.

own father.

Where on earth is Zeus’ thunderbolt hidden?

* * *

A fleeting moment.

Zeus’ eyes looked at Yuwon.

An anxiety like I’ve never felt before.

Both hands were held by Hades, and the power of the thunderbolt was temporarily sealed.

Plus.

Sigh-.

From behind, Hercules’s hands grasp his shoulders.

I couldn’t move.

Because without the thunderbolt, there was no way for him to escape Hercules’ grasp.

‘No way…’

Yuwon’s hand approaches.

Zeus closed his eyes tightly to where the hand was pointing.

no.

I tried to close it.

That moment.

Fuuk-.

Sigh-.

The ape that emerged from the darkness of Hades passed by Zeus. After a few seconds that felt too long, Zeus lost half of the world.

Facet-.

Electricity begins to erupt from Zeus’ body.

Kwarung-!

“Huh…”

Hercules let go of the hand he was holding on to the huge pillar of electricity rising above.

A thrilling electric current passed through my body.

As the thunderbolt, which had been sealed for a while, was reopened, Hades and Poseidon frowned.

“It was a brief opportunity.”

Poseidon mutters in regret.

Hades also sympathized.

For some reason, Zeus was unable to use the thunderbolt, and that short period of time was only a very short period in which they had an absolute advantage.

‘Maybe the problem was that I trusted that guy too much.’

That short gap.

Seeing Yuwon looking like he was aiming for something, Hades decided to help him.

Since Yuwon was the one who created the gap in the first place and Yuwon was the one who tried to utilize that time, it was decided that it was right to help him.

but.

The result that followed was disappointing.

‘Is it just one eye?’

One eye.

In some ways, it was a great achievement.

However, it did not occur to me that Zeus’s field of vision would be narrowed just because he had no eyes.

There was no way that making him close one eye would have changed his chances of winning.

at that time.

“With this….”

Wow.

Yuwon, who had taken one of Zeus’ eyes, held it tightly.

“70%.”

“…70%?”

I’m sure just a moment ago, I would have said that the odds of winning were only about 10%.

Hades looked puzzled at the golden light emanating from Yuwon’s hand.

Unusual magical power.

There was no way that kind of magic could leak out of simple eyes.

That moment.

“no way…?

An assumption crossed Hades’ mind.

“Is that a lightning strike?”

What is Zeus’ thunderbolt?

No one knew that.

Hephaestus, the person who created the item, also said that its form was not set.

Moreover, Zeus, the owner of the thunderbolt, always lived with a cloth wrapped around his body, so he had no idea what the thunderbolt was.

But what if lightning struck your eye?

“yes.”

Facet-.

Yuwon responded to the enormous power running wild in his hands.

Heavenly Stone.

The last and largest of the three pieces.

An item that made Zeus what he is today.

thunderbolt.

‘I never thought he’d actually put this in his eye.’

Zeus always hid his thunderbolts in his eyes.

It became the eye of Zeus and at the same time a source of power. That’s why he hid the lightning in a place where no one else could know.

Right in his right eye.

‘Did golden eyes refer to lightning?’

Like Hwaan Geumjeong, eyes that look far into the distance and see through the truth.

Apparently, that was one of the effects of having lightning struck in the eye.

And Yuwon finally got it.

“Then what about that?”

Passit pasisisit-.

Hades asked at the electricity emitting from Zeus’ body.

It didn’t seem much different from before. No, in fact, it looked even scarier than before.

“It’s a kind of protest.”

Burning magic.

“I’m screaming that I’m still alive and well.”

Although the thunderbolt has been lost, the properties of Zeus’ magic power do not change.

The power of the lightning burning around him was the original magical power he possessed.

However, Zeus’ power without the power of the item was bound to drop significantly compared to before.

‘If you look at the rankings… mid to late 10th place. Maybe 20th place.’

It’s amazing how much of a difference can occur due to the difference in one item.

But that was the estimated range of Zeus’s ability after losing his thunderbolt.

And to that extent, the scales of this fight are clearly tilted in this direction.

just as expected.

“I don’t know why…”

Buuung-.

Hercules approached Zeus and raised his cracked club high.

“You look much smaller than before.”

Hahahaha-!

Blah blah blah-!

Zeus’ lightning and Hercules’ club collided.

The cracked club did not break. Also, it didn’t bounce back like it did the first time it hit.

The power is Baekmidae.

Meanwhile, Hercules stretched out his other hand toward Zeus.

Puzzle-!

Zeus’s fierce resistance.

It was once again wrapped around Zeus’ body and became a solid armor of lightning.

But what?

Falling in love -.

Unlike before, Hercules’ grip tore the armor to pieces with much ease.

“Didn’t you tell me?”

Wow!

Hercules’ foot kicks Zeus in the chest.

“I heard you got smaller.”

“Hmm….”

It was my first time.

A small moan came out of Zeus’ mouth. Zeus, pushed back by the shock to his chest, stumbled for a moment and looked around.

Before you know it, darkness surrounds you and the waves of the sea rise into the sky.

The tip of Poseidon’s spear was aimed at him, and the darkness of Hades had already enveloped the entire area.

Hercules pursued him tenaciously. Originally, these three people could be driven out with one shot, but now the situation has changed.

bang-!

The fist wrapped in electricity collided with Hercules’ fist.

You lose by strength versus strength. Only by pouring in a lot of magical energy can one achieve equal numbers.

Hercules did not become the hero of Olympus for nothing.

He was the strongest member of the Gigantomachia he had planned.

Shootaaa-.

Sigh-!

The baptism of water pouring down from above weighs down Zeus’ body.

Zeus lost his balance.

Zeus barely stretched out his hand and unleashed a bolt of electricity, imitating a thunderbolt.

‘I didn’t know that the absence of one item would be this big.’

Opening his one remaining eye, Zeus pushed away the water, sweat pouring from his forehead.

It felt like if I relaxed even a little, my body would be crushed by the strong current.

strong.

This was the power of Poseidon, who had at least half of the power of the Sea God Stone on his back.

On the contrary.

‘I never thought losing the lightning would be this big.’

Having been robbed by lightning, he was literally naked.

Shootaaa-.

Kwaang-!

A fist stretched out between the split waters.

Zeus’ body, which was barely holding on, stumbled, and at the same time, Poseidon’s current engulfed Zeus.

with a splash-.

The water pressure of the sea was truly mysterious. It was just water, but when I got into it, my whole body felt like it was being contracted and crushed.

In this situation, it feels impossible to move with simple force alone.

In it, Zeus found Hercules slowly walking towards him.

‘That body is truly ignorant.’

Is it possible to walk in this strong current and pressure?

It wasn’t that big, but it felt like I was standing right in front of Gigantes.

After losing the thunderbolt, I know more clearly.

How great is the Hercules you see before your eyes?

What kind of being would he turn into if he had a spear as powerful as a thunderbolt in his hands?

‘I was raising a monster.’

Perhaps, if he were not in this position now, he might have become a title that could oust him in the future.

Pajijijik-.

Pow-!

The electricity emitted from Zeus’ body once again created a large hole in the sea of Poseidon.

Immediately afterwards, the darkness of Hades covered Zeus.

Tsutsutsu-.

Skin that is black and rotting as if it is burning.

It means that the darkness of Hades is piercing through Zeus’ armor.

but.

‘I still have one eye left.’

The thunderbolt that served as the eye was taken away.

However, this does not mean that this darkness cannot be seen.

Huaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Zeus stretched out his hand.

It was aimed at Hades’ neck. You definitely had to have feeling at your fingertips.

however.

hook-.

What is captured is nothing but empty space.

“It’s slowed down a lot.”

Sigh-.

Weak grip felt at the nape of the neck.

The energy of Hades, known as the god of death, enters through the back of the neck grabbed with a broken hand.

“Cough!”

I cried and vomited blood from my mouth.

Kwajajajajajag-!

I hurriedly turned my body and fired a burst of electricity, but it was one beat too late.

Tsk-.

A small wound appeared on Hades’ cheek.

That was it.

As if he had already anticipated Zeus’ counterattack, Hades once again disappeared into the darkness.

Zeus did not have enough power to break through this darkness and attack Hades.

“Huh…”

Zeus was drooling.

It was only a short moment, but the feeling of helplessness and loss of strength came over my whole body.

thunderbolt.

If only I had that….

Pajijik-.

It was then.

A familiar flow of mana was felt in the sky above the sea.

At the same time, a shape is clearly visible through the one remaining eye.

Qarring-!

An amusement park above the clouds.

And in his hand was a long spear of lightning that was about ten meters long.

[Thunderbolt]

The thunderbolt in his hand absorbed the electricity he emitted and created the strongest spear -.

Flash!

Now the tip of the spear was pointed towards him.
