Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 243
[Level Up with God Episode 243]
* * *
“Ragnarok must be brought forward.”
This was something Yuwon suddenly said while preparing a meal.
At those words, Son Goku’s hand that was preparing the fire stopped.
“As much as possible.”
“What kind of bullshit is that?”
Son Goku, who learned the word ‘sucky’ from Yuwon, tilted his head with a puzzled expression.
Bringing Ragnarok forward.
Aren’t they trying to bring about Ragnarok themselves when it’s not enough to stop them?
“What is Ragnarok?”
thud-.
King Uma arrived just in time and asked as he put down the huge wild boar he was carrying on his shoulder.
“I’ve lived a long time, but I’ve never heard of it.”
It’s been quite a while since I spent time with King Uma.
The only person who knows about Yuwon and Son Goku.
Therefore, the two people talked without paying much attention to King Uma.
Yuwon thought for a moment and nodded.
“Of course you don’t know. “It hasn’t happened yet.”
Ragnarok.
It was definitely an unfamiliar word in this era.
But in the distant future.
It becomes a huge event that everyone living in this tower must know about.
“It was a battle in which half the tower died.”
“…Are you kidding me?”
“I’m serious, bro.”
When King Uma was suspicious of the unrealistic story, Son Goku supported Yuwon’s words.
King Uma still looks back at Son Goku with an expression of uncertainty.
But King Uma nodded at that expression.
“It’s true.”
“Why are you doing that when you look at my face?”
“You can’t lie, right? A lot of that too.”
“…I don’t think it means anything good.”
Chi-ik-.
King Uma took off the skin of the wild boar he was carrying and placed it on the fire.
King Uma, who had taken a seat, asked with a more serious expression than before.
“so? Then why does Ragnarok have to be brought forward? Rather, it might be better to block it.”
“therefore.”
Son Goku was already drooling and agreed with King Uma’s words.
The meat was cooked golden brown.
It seemed like it would take quite some time for it to fully cook.
“Do you remember the stories we talked about back then?”
A question asked while looking at Son Goku.
Goku shook his head.
“no.”
“no?”
“If it’s about Ragnarok, how many days have you been talking about? Do you remember it all?”
“…you fell asleep, didn’t you?”
Yuwon thought to himself that he was really lucky that he came back first.
What if one person could go back and it was Son Goku?
He probably forgot most of the story and moved on blindly.
“Oh no. It’s not?”
My voice trembled.
also.
He was a guy who couldn’t lie.
“done. “I remember anyway.”
Yuwon sighed and shook his head.
“Ragnarok cannot be prevented. No, you won’t be able to stop it.”
“Try to speak clearly.”
“Foolish chaos will hasten the plan. “A little bit rushed.”
“why?”
“Because Olympus and Heaven have fallen.”
Son Goku tilted his head as if he didn’t understand Yuwon’s words yet.
Strictly speaking, the two large guilds had not completely collapsed.
The two guilds still had the size to belong to a large guild.
However, the reason why many of the tower’s rankers spoke of their downfall was because of the absence of Zeus and the Jade Emperor, the core and leader of the guild.
“The guy lost the hand that allowed him to hold and shake the tower. “The Gigantomachia and Heavenly Demon Wars were virtually canceled.”
“Anyway, Ragnarok is next?”
“okay.”
“Then it can be prevented, right? Ragnarok too.”
Yuwon shook his head.
“Do you remember what the beginning of Ragnarok was?”
“The death of Baldur. How can you forget? “I’ve never seen Odin so angry.”
Baldur.
As the son of Odin, he is one of the high rankers representing Asgard along with Odin.
The highest high ranker ranked 35th.
His death aroused the wrath of Asgard’s rankers as well as Odin.
And that was the trigger of Ragnarok.
-“Prevent the death of my son. “If we do that, we will be able to prevent Ragnarok.”
The sight of Odin, his eyes flashing fiercely as he said those words, was clearly visible.
Odin rarely got angry, was sometimes mischievous, and sometimes seemed like an old child.
The time when Odin was most angry in front of everyone was when he mentioned Baldur’s death.
Yuwon recalled his conversation with Odin at that time.
-“Ragnarok happened because of me.”
It was strange.
Even though it was not yet confirmed, Odin continued his words while looking at Yuwon.
-“So, when you go back, be sure to stop me.”
Yuwon’s answer to that was simple.
-“Why don’t you go back yourself?”
Go back yourself.
If we do that, Ragnarok will not occur due to Odin’s rampage.
Really simple answer.
And Ragnarok was an important event in the Tower’s long history, enough to reconsider the decision on ‘who will return’.
but.
-“…no.”
Despite that simple answer, Odin shook his head.
-“Even if I go back, I won’t be able to stop it.”
When asked why, Odin answered with a smile.
-“I don’t have the confidence to endure it.”
Be patient.
It meant that if Baldur died again, he would make the same choice.
Everyone thought that way at the time.
Except for one person.
“Baldur’s death was the beginning of Ragnarok. The death of High Ranker Baldur was a pretty big event at the time, but no one thought it would become a great war like Ragnarok.”
And that one person was Yoo Won.
“Do you really think it’s because of that one reason?”
Tapping, crackling-.
Meat starting to get charred.
Son Goku, who had been lost in thought for a long time without answering, asked again.
“Ragnarok wasn’t because of Baldur’s death?”
“okay.”
Yuwon nodded and looked up at the smoke rising into the sky.
“I can’t stop it anyway. Even if Odin doesn’t move.”
“Uhm…”
The tendons in Son Goku’s forehead twitched as if his head was about to explode.
Goku, who soon stopped his head, changed his question and asked.
“That’s right. “What does that have to do with causing Ragnarok quickly?”
“Ragnarok began due to a conflict between races.”
Yuwon talked about the beginning of Ragnarok that he remembered.
“Giants and Men. That long-standing conflict finally exploded. Baldur’s death was just the cause of the festering conflict exploding…”
Even if it wasn’t Baldur’s death in the first place, it would have happened at some point.
Rather, the longer the past conflict lasts, the bigger the scale of Ragnarok will become.
“Giants and Men. “Ragnarok cannot be prevented unless all the conflicts are resolved.”
“So how do you stop that?”
“There is no way.”
“doesn’t exist?”
“There is no way for us to undo what happened in the past. That’s something only people like Kronos or Odin Mimir can do…”
Yuwon and Son Goku were different beings from them.
What you can do in the first place is different.
Unless I could make a clockwork again, I had to find something I could do here and now.
“What we have to do is cause Ragnarok. no.”
That’s why Yuwon couldn’t miss Ragnarok.
“We are using Ragnarok.”
After that, Yuwon’s story continued for quite a long time.
Every time the story continued, Son Goku recalled the story of Odin that he had forgotten and was amazed.
“If I had come alone, I would have been in big trouble.”
Son Goku scratched his head with a puzzled look on his face.
Perhaps he would have stopped short of finding Baldur and sticking close to him.
I thought that if I did that, Ragnarok wouldn’t happen.
But that wasn’t it.
“There are any number of cases. “I’ll have to meet Odin for more details.”
“Odin is the king of Asgard.”
King Uma said, tearing off the golden brown meat and handing a piece to Son Goku.
“He’s probably in Valhalla. “It won’t be easy to meet.”
“There is no way.”
Yuwon put his hand into his inventory and took out the golden castle token.
“It’s a kind of pass into Valhalla.”
“Where did you get it?”
“I got it from Thor.”
“Thor…”
The Demon King grinned and took a handful of meat.
“That kid did a great job.”
To the Demon King, who has existed in the tower since ancient times like Odin, Thor is also just a child.
Still, thanks to that, I was qualified to enter Valhalla.
“I’ll have to move as soon as I eat everything.”
Yuwon started eating, clutching the golden castle certificate in his hand.
Jiik-.
“To Asgard.”
* * *
Asgard.
It was not made up of one floor, but of several floors.
To be precise, Asgard was the name of one world, but the world ruled by ‘Guild Asgard’ was made up of five layers.
Alfheim, where small dwarf rankers and players like errand boys live.
The opposite is Jotunheim, where the giants live.
And Midgard, the world located in the very center.
Asgard, the world that serves as the core headquarters of Guild Asgard.
And across all of those worlds, even within Asgard, to Valhalla, where the golden castle is located that only the greatest warriors can enter.
Asgard, which rules over five floors, was the guild that owned the largest and most land in the tower.
‘From the 60th to the 65th floor.’
10 floors ahead.
And there were 15 floors remaining until Valhalla, where Odin mainly resides.
The battle with Heaven is over, and the brief rest is over.
From now on, it was a race against time.
‘Just in time…’
Yuwon looked at himself and looked around at the players who were buzzing in the distance.
‘I’m glad I had a test.’
Players surrounding the amusement park.
They were wary of Yuwon and watching each other.
[A crystal ball appears randomly every 30 minutes.]
[Acquire a crystal ball.]
A test to secure an item and protect it.
The number of items was limited, and there was only one crystal ball that appeared at the moment.
Jeopuk-.
Everyone was watching to see who would move first.
Yuwon was the first to take a step toward the crystal ball.
And soon.
[The crystal ball was obtained.]
The first crystal ball was in Yuwon’s hand.
‘There’s nothing to gain by fighting that guy.’
‘I don’t mind one thing. Anyway, as time passes, the crystal ball comes out again.’
‘I just need to secure it.’
Everyone thinks the same way.
As time passed, a second crystal ball appeared.
however.
“I’m sorry.”
Yuwon put the crystal ball he was holding in his hand into his arms and opened his mouth for everyone to hear.
“Everything that’s left is mine.”
“What what?”
“Where is such a crazy law!”
“Damn. I knew this would happen!”
The atmosphere suddenly became harsh after Yuwon’s words.
The players joined forces to fight Yuwon.
The results were disastrous.
No matter how many there were, there was no way the whale would fall to the attack from the shrimp horde.
“…also.”
And one person was watching the scene.
“I heard that a ranking of that level is not even close.”
The director of the organization on the 50th floor bit his lip with an expression like that.
And that day.
For the first time in TOP’s long history, the rankings given to players have been made public.
