Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 185

[Level Up with God Episode 185]

* * *

“It ended up like this.”

A self-mocking voice flowed from Zeus’ mouth as he fell to the floor.

Asgard.

The strongest guild that can’t be helped no matter how hard one struggles.

Zeus gave up fighting them. Asgard was an inevitable place for Olympus.

That’s why he thought of Ragnarok.

The power of the giants to defeat Asgard.

But in the end, he lay down on the ground and Asgard came here to take him away.

But in the end, it was like this.

“It’s ugly, it’s ugly…”

Zeus’ eyes look up at the sky.

This is the place where he was up until not long ago.

And from there, numerous spears fell.

Puff Puff Puff -.

Dozens of pure white spears were thrust into Zeus’ body.

I felt all the magical energy draining out of my body. There were dozens of items that restricted the high ranker’s magic power, so even if Zeus was there, there was no way to escape it.

Hercules, who was fighting him, stopped moving for a moment and looked at the Valkyries coming down to the ground.

“Are you Hercules?”

A bronze-skinned female warrior approached.

Hercules responded with a sharp voice to the leader of the Valkyries armed with silver armor.

“I don’t think this is a problem in Asgard.”

“If you want to dispose of Zeus, you can use your own hands. “This happened inside Olympus.”

This fight belongs to Olympus after all.

The Valkyries and Asgard were clearly aware of that fact.

Therefore, it was inevitable that Hercules would be the first to deal with Zeus.

but.

“But if you don’t want to kill him, I would like you to hand over the new soldier to us.”

“wherefore?”

“Because Asgard is the only one who can control the living Zeus.”

Hercules’ eyebrows twitched.

It wasn’t wrong.

Even after his death, the living Zeus was a being who could become a major problem for this tower at any time.

Because he had the power and knowledge to do so.

“It’s your choice whether to kill him or not Hercules.”

At Valkyrie’s words, Hercules’ gaze turned to Zeus, who had dozens of spears stuck in his body.

“What would you like to do?”

* * *

The battlefield was cleared little by little.

Poseidon was once again taken to Asgard by the Valkyries.

Zeus’s troops, rendered incapable of battle by Hercules, returned to their original positions.

The war is over.

“You did a great job.”

Thor approached Yuwon and smiled, putting Mjolnir on his shoulder.

Eyes full of curiosity.

It seemed like I had already heard quite a bit of news about the amusement park.

‘There is nothing good about being involved.’

Thor was the son of Odin.

A welcome face. Yuwon went through quite a few battlefields with him.

But it was not the face I would encounter now.

“I did it because it was necessary. “There is nothing to praise.”

“I need? what?”

Thor’s eyes turned to Yuwon’s hand.

“Maybe that?”

thunderbolt.

An item similar to the symbol of Zeus.

Yuwon did not deny it. Thor smiled as he saw Yuwon nodding his head and making eye contact.

“Don’t be too guarded. “Asgard is not shameless enough to covet the spoils rightfully taken.”

Know.

I don’t know if it was anywhere else, but at least Asgard wouldn’t covet lightning.

It is said that the water below is only clear if the water above is clear.

In that respect, Asgard was the ‘clearest water’ that Yuwon believed in.

There was just something else to worry about.

‘Clockwork is something Cronus and Odin created together.’

Although Kronos had the ability to control time, clockwork was not something he could create on his own.

Because the difficulty of the item was too high for that.

‘It won’t be a problem if I find out…’

The meeting with Odin was clearly planned.

Moreover, it was impossible to proceed with the work without meeting him. For that to be the case, the influence of Odin in this tower was too great.

only.

‘It’s better to have no variables if possible.’

It’s not the time.

Contact with Asgard came a few days later.

For now, it’s better to just pass by like this.

“I’m tired from fighting. “I wish I could just keep things simple.”

“I’m just curious. “I wonder who the player is that my father is interested in.”

“father…?”

Yuwon’s eyes narrowed.

“Odin?”

“It would be best not to call that name too carelessly.”

chin-.

Kuuuk-.

The strength of his hand on Yuwon’s shoulder became stronger.

I forgot.

Later on, I realized that I had called him too carelessly, but in Asgard, the name Odin was like a sanctuary.

“got it?”

“Remember that.”

“good. “It makes sense, my friend.”

Tuk Tuk-.

Thor patted Yuwon’s shoulder, which he had grabbed, and raised the corners of his mouth again.

Immediately after that, he reached into his arms, took out a badge, and held it out.

“This is from my father. “Take it.”

Yuwon looked at the badge Thor handed him.

It was a familiar-looking pattern.

A badge that looks like a compressed version of a large palace sparkling in gold.

‘This is…’

I had only heard the name, but it was my first time receiving it in person.

The sign of the golden castle.

A type of entrance ticket to enter the sanctuary Valhalla.

“Why are you giving this to me?”

“It’s an invitation.”

“invitation?”

“You said you wanted to see me once if I survive this war.”

It was true that it was a noteworthy incident.

This is because Olympus, one of the largest guilds like Asgard, was turned upside down.

Moreover, surviving a major war involving Zeus, a high ranker within the top 10, was enough to completely overturn Yuwon’s reputation until now.

“It’s going to come up soon anyway, right? Come up and stop by. “I will treat you without regrets.”

“I wouldn’t be happy if it was a recruitment offer.”

“I just want to welcome you as a guest. “Respectfully.”

Even after saying this, it’s not polite to keep refusing.

Above all, this way, you could decide when you would meet.

“Sure.”

Yuwon received the badge and took it.

There is still a long way to go before we get to where Valhalla is. At times like this, I was thankful that Odin’s butt was heavy.

‘Is this the second one?’

I remembered getting a similar item.

Diablo’s Horn.

It was an item obtained after passing the test on the 41st floor. Yuwon passed the test on the 41st floor and promised to meet Diablo’s alter ego again.

‘How can I use this again…’

The Golden Castle Token is a kind of reward obtained from Asgard after solving the problem of Olympus.

As it was not a simple item, it was entirely up to Yuwon how to use it.

“See you later then.”

After finishing his business, Thor turned around.

From afar, Valkyries were taking Poseidon away.

“friend.”

Jeopuk-.

Thor, who was in charge of organizing the battlefield, walked towards the Valkyries.

Yuwon looked at Thor’s spacious back and then looked at the golden castle symbol in his hand.

‘Friend…’

On his own, it might have been an expression of friendliness, but Yuwon couldn’t have felt that awkward.

‘I’ve heard all these things from Odin’s son.’

When I came back to the past, all kinds of strange things happened.

Yuwon thought so and put the token into his inventory.

* * *

The sinking of Olympus spread throughout the tower faster than any other means of transportation.

The main story was the treason of Hercules against Hades and Poseidon.

The division of the three gods.

Hercules, the bloodline of the king who inherited the throne.

Flesh and skin were attached to the bone of rumor, creating another form where facts and lies were mixed.

They say that the division of the Three Gods is Asgard’s plan.

It is said that Hercules is not actually the son of Zeus.

Or, in fact, all of this is another picture of Zeus.

But regardless of those rumors, Olympus quickly found stability.

“So you ended up sending him back alive?”

Yuwon sat across from Hercules over a cup of tea.

The location was a small house on the 32nd floor where the war took place. It was a place far away from the battlefield and untouched by the aftermath of the fighting.

A small, shabby place like the hut where Hercules originally stayed.

Therefore, Hercules chose this place to stay for a while.

“okay. “That’s how it happened.”

“I guess I couldn’t kill him.”

“I don’t know. Maybe there wasn’t enough time to make a decision? Or are you still saying they are rich? “They took me away because I couldn’t make a choice.”

It must have been a difficult choice to make in one moment.

The father who ordered his mother to be killed.

She was clearly an indispensable enemy to Heracles, who was deeply attached to his mother Alcmene.

But at least Zeus was a father to Hercules for thousands of years.

It was bound to not be easy to make a choice in such a short time.

“It’s you.”

“what?”

“Indecision.”

Hercules burst out laughing at Yuwon’s words.

“I am a giant slayer. Killed a million giants. “Indecisiveness doesn’t suit me…”

“So, was it okay?”

Hercules’ eyes widened.

Was it okay?

Yuwon added to Hercules, who did not respond for a moment.

“I’m asking if you felt relieved from continuing to kill giants.”

“…Relief?”

“Probably not. “When I first saw you, you didn’t look like that.”

“What did it look like?”

“It seemed like he wanted to finish everything quickly and run away from this hell.”

Alcmene’s revenge.

It was a task that Hercules must accomplish.

But in the process, Hercules continued to break down.

“Gigantomachia was not just a war. “It was also the stage for the completion of the giant slayer.”

“What do you mean?”

“If it weren’t for the war, would you have moved?”

In response to Yuwon’s question, Hercules recalled himself when he was called a giant slayer.

At that time, my eyes were rolling.

A desire for revenge against Alcmene. Hostility towards giants.

As a result, the reason giants would have swung their fists without hesitation was probably because it was a ‘battle field’.

‘Was I still being created at that time?’

War.

Hercules was able to gain justification from it.

This fight isn’t just revenge.

The giants are the enemies of Olympus, and they are the ones who will one day bring about greater disaster to the tower.

That’s why Hercules was able to swing his fist at the giants.

I was finally able to practice revenge.

Zeus used Gigantomachia to use a tool called Hercules.

“Do you have any regrets? “Why couldn’t you kill Zeus?”

“any.”

“Then go find it now. “Maybe even now, Asgard will hand Zeus’ head to you.”

“done. “A man who has already lost his strength, his dreams, and his future.”

Hercules no longer called Zeus father.

The last remaining feeling between father and son.

Hercules finally cut it out from within.

“I want to end here. “Just up to here.”

Zeus lost everything.

If revenge does not require death, then it is already a success.

“I’m going to live my life without thinking about such things from now on. “I’m too tired for that.”

“Is that so?”

Yuwon looked at Hercules’ expression.

He was not as expressive as Son Goku.

But still, after watching him for a long time, I was able to understand to some extent what he was thinking.

Complex face.

But at least there was a little bit of relief mixed in there.

‘That’s enough.’

Whether Zeus lives or dies.

Yuwon didn’t really care about that.

What was important was Hercules’ heart. Yuwon hoped that he could shake off the baggage he had packed inside.

Because he was his friend.

“you? “What are you going to do now?”

Hercules asked after remembering that Yuwon had been fighting Olympus for quite some time after entering the tower.

The long fight is over.

I thought that perhaps this tower might shake again depending on Yuwon’s actions in the future.

“I have to meet you first.”

“Uncle? Brother Hephaestus?”

“okay.”

For a moment, Yuwon thought of the lightning bolt he had put in his inventory.

All three pieces were collected.

Near the end of the discussion about destroying Olympus.

Hephaestus suddenly said something.

“If you collect all the pieces, be sure to bring them to me.”

Yuwon still could not forget the look in Hephaestus’ eyes at that time.

Greed and desire as a blacksmith.

Those fiery eyes were something Yuwon had never seen before.

“I promised.”

Although he is not the Hephaestus of this era.

“I will make you the best item.”

“You and me.”

It was time to keep that promise, even if only in this era.
