Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 247
[Level Up with God Episode 247]
* * *
“What now?”
One by one.
Speak with force in your words.
There is probably no one who knows the name Ragnarok that well and understands its weight.
“Do you know what that is and say it?”
“know.”
“A catastrophe that will cause the tower’s destruction. A war that later led to the deaths of half of the players and rankers living in the tower.”
“Ha…”
Odin sunk into the chair and touched his forehead.
“As expected, it really happened.”
Odin, who had closed his eyes in silence for a moment, looked at Yuwon again.
“But why? “Why does something like that have to happen?”
“History that has already occurred cannot be changed, and Ragnarok cannot be avoided.”
“no. “It can be avoided.”
“Do you really think so?”
“That’s right…”
Odin couldn’t answer right away to Yuwon’s words.
rather.
The anxiety that had been hidden inside for a long time was revealed on my face.
Yuwon knew the identity of that anxiety.
“You don’t want to fight. I thought I could stop it. But what do the giants think?”
Giants and humans.
Fights between races were a different matter than simply fights between guilds.
The gap between the two races was already growing deeper. It was also the karma accumulated by Odin.
“Surtr’s thoughts will be different. How many children were lost in the fight against Asgard? Are you confident you can persuade him?”
“We will make it.”
“You probably want to do it.”
Odin’s eyes sparkled at his corrected words.
And at that reaction, Yuwon felt like he was suffocating for a moment.
It wasn’t really a threat.
But his presence alone filled the room and made it feel like it was clogged.
“Because I don’t want to fight. “Because I don’t want to shed blood.”
“can do.”
Answer repeated once again.
In response, Yuwon looked around the room sparkling with gold that contained Yggdrasil.
A rich and peaceful country.
Asgard created and maintains this country.
but.
“That easy pacifism is what ruined this country.”
The ending was far from peaceful.
“You keep neglecting the festering wound because you’re afraid of opening it? Are you expecting it to get better on its own if you just leave it alone?”
Odin did not open his mouth.
On the other hand, Yuwon’s words continued.
“The giants are preparing for war. “We are stockpiling more power to ensure victory, and Asgard is also preparing for that fight.”
“…You know everything.”
“That’s what you told me.”
Odin’s eyebrows twitched.
Since he said he had said it himself, there was nothing else to say. Moreover, Yuwon’s words pinpointed exactly what he had been worried about.
“The more perfect the preparation for the fight, the bigger the scale of the fight will be. If that happens, more blood will flow. “If it’s an unstoppable fight, shouldn’t it end with minimal damage?”
“So now… you want me to start a war?”
Doubt appeared in Odin’s eyes.
They come here at random times and start a war.
Yuwon is instigating a big war like Ragnarok.
“If we leave it like this, the fight will only get bigger.”
“I know that much. But it’s also a fight that may never have started in the first place….”
“You’re all good, but that’s the problem. “It fell apart.”
Yuwon crossed his arms and sighed.
“The inevitable fight must be fought. “Otherwise, your country will just be destroyed in the end.”
Yuwon turned his head and saw a withering leaf from Yggdrasil.
“Because there is someone who wants that.”
Odin’s gaze moved along Yuwon.
Yggdrasil.
The largest and greatest tree in this tower that penetrates the world.
It was only a few hundred years ago that a leaf on that tree began to rot.
“Are you saying someone is controlling Ragnarok behind the scenes?”
“I heard you know who that someone is.”
“I don’t know your name. “But I know he planned Gigantomachia.”
“The same goes for Ragnarok.”
End of long worries.
Odin eventually nodded.
“I think I need to think about it a bit.”
There will be a lot to think about.
Is Yuwon really the owner of Clockwork?
If so, is your side right?
Is it really a better choice for Ragnarok to happen early?
Yuwon also did not expect Odin to make a decision right now.
Still, it was enough to make me worry.
“do whatever you want.”
The conversation I had to have with Odin right now is over.
From then on, it was the stories that had to be told after Odin’s decision.
Druk-.
Yuwon gets up from his seat.
Odin opened his mouth to Yuwon.
“Stay here while I collect my thoughts. “Don’t go anywhere.”
“I can’t wait long.”
If foolish chaos began to set in motion, each day from now on would be more precious than gold.
The more time is wasted, the more blood will flow.
“What if…”
Odin continued, expressing his concern to Yuwon, who was just about to leave the room.
“What will you do if Ragnarok happens?”
“We will fight.”
It was obvious.
“Because that’s what I came here for.”
“In Ragnarok, each of you is like a small stone thrown into a lake. Do you have the ability to change the course of this great war?”
“does not exist.”
The answer came out so easily that it seemed absurd.
Although he knew, Odin felt like his expectations for Yuwon had been dampened a little.
however.
“Not yet.”
Yuwon’s words were not finished yet.
“It’s going to be big in this game. Enough to be able to stand in front again.”
Squeak-.
The door opened and Yuwon came out.
The room became quiet again.
For a while.
Odin looked at Yuwon’s door for a long time and muttered.
“‘Again’….”
* * *
Ugh-.
As Yuwon was walking down the hallway, his player kit rang.
In the distance, he could see the guard and lead waiting for him. Yuwon checked the number called in the player kit and answered the phone.
“why.”
-Have you met Odin?
It was Son Goku.
It seems like there were a lot of questions about how things were going.
Even so, you don’t know how difficult it was to leave Son Goku, who had promised to follow him to the Golden Castle.
“met.”
-What happened?
“You seem to be worried. Quite a lot.”
-Anyway, you suck. If you have too many useless thoughts.
“It’s better than nothing.”
-…You’re telling me to listen to this right now, right?
“I know.”
For a while, Son Goku’s angry voice could be heard through the kit.
Yuwon blocked the player kit with his hand for a moment, afraid that the sound might leak outside.
How long has it been like that? Son Goku’s rampage has come to an end.
-How can that little brat make a decision so easily?
Now I’ve finally asked the right questions.
Yuwon leaned against the window frame and looked down at the beautiful village scenery of Valhalla outside.
“It won’t be easy.”
-Then, it seems like I should focus more on Baldur…
“What I need to change is not preventing Ragnarok from happening.”
Repetition of what was said.
But it was such an important part that it had to be said again and again.
There is no way to prevent Ragnarok.
The best that is impossible is simply impossible.
That’s why Yuwon thought of another way.
“It changes the winner.”
Change the winner of Ragnarok.
Asgard was destroyed after losing the battle.
The outcome of that fight must be transformed into victory.
And that was many times more difficult than preventing the fight from happening in the first place.
-Is it possible?
“It must be difficult. “But I’m not alone.”
There is Pyeongcheondaeseong Fortress in Jecheondaeseong Fortress.
At least these two people were clearly on their side.
“There are many ways. “I have to go for it.”
-What are you going to do again?
“Just worry about that for now. “So we can move right away as soon as we contact you.”
-…Ah yes.
“Hang up.”
Keep your calls as short as necessary.
After finishing the story, Yuwon put the player kit back.
As I approached the guard and lead who were waiting, the two opened their mouths with stiff faces.
“Have you been there?”
“Did you really come to meet King Odin?”
I guess I’m curious as to whether Yuwon really met Odin.
Odin was such an absolute presence in this tower that not only players but even rankers wished to meet him at least once.
“I’ll be staying here for a while.”
Reed asked in response to Yuwon’s answer.
“Is it the Golden Castle?”
“Permission was granted. “Probably not for long.”
“Wow…”
Receiving permission means meeting Odin.
Yuwon turned his head at the burdensome gaze of the two people. Even if I encountered it for no reason, it would only be burdensome.
Where I turned my head like that.
Sigh-.
Yuwon’s eyes met with the rankers passing through the hallway.
It wasn’t by chance that our eyes met.
All the rankers passing by were just looking at Yuwon.
“You saw it too, right?”
“uh. saw.”
“I thought you were going to kill someone with your eyes?”
As if he was unaware of this, the guard and lead also noticed the gazes of the rankers glaring at Yuwon.
If there was even the slightest quarrel, the look in his eyes looked as if he would draw his weapon and attack at any moment.
‘It must be pretty crazy.’
From now on, Yuwon had to stay in this castle for a few days.
And during those few days, Yuwon had to keep encountering those rankers.
Having to stay in the golden castle for a while meant that there would continue to be arguments.
‘It actually went well.’
Even so, I was wondering how to put the first button on.
“What do you keep looking at?”
As Yuwon did not avoid his gaze, the ranker, who had been glaring at Yuwon for a long time, finally opened his mouth.
She was a fierce-looking female warrior with many scars on her face.
A wing pattern carved above the collarbone.
She was one of the Valkyries of Asgard.
‘I’m not some kind of local gangster.’
It seems like he was looking for an opportunity to start a fight.
And Yuwon had no intention of avoiding the controversy.
no.
“If I start a fight, will I end up alone?”
On the contrary, I had no intention of being satisfied with such a small dispute.
“Bring some more friends, kid.”
Ppajik-.
A tendon appeared on Valkyrie’s forehead.
Behind them, Guard and Reed were trembling as they watched the two people.
An unusual air filled the hallway. Even so, the rankers who were paying attention to Yuwon’s visit quickly noticed the commotion.
Gathering gazes and footsteps.
Yuwon thought about them, conscious of them.
‘Ragnarok is ultimately a battle centered on Odin’s Asgard and Surtur’s Muspelheim.’
Glancing-.
Before Yuwon’s eyes, he saw several Valkyries with the same wing patterns as the Valkyries in front of him.
‘In the end, in order to be at the forefront of the fight and raise your voice, you have no choice but to receive recognition from the Valkyries.’
Ranking given unintentionally.
And the resulting backlash and curiosity from rankers.
At first, it was useless and rather burdensome.
but.
‘In order to do that…’
Rather, thanks to that, this stage was created more naturally.
Yuwon raised the corners of his mouth as the atmosphere in the golden castle began to heat up.
‘I guess we should start by sorting out the ranks.’
