Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 301
[Level Up with God Episode 301]
* * *
The sky appeared before my eyes.
The sky covered in hazy dark clouds. Yuwon felt dazed by the pitch black clouds that filled his vision.
I felt like my mind was shaking for a moment, wondering what had happened.
“…ah.”
After a moment, I remembered what had happened.
Fight with Zeus.
It was a very short and paradoxically long fight.
When Yuwon faced Zeus’ thunderstorm, he thought of a way to block or avoid it.
At that moment, many thoughts came to my mind.
The results came quickly.
‘How can I stop something like that?’
It was a lightning strike of a level I had never seen before.
The power is several times greater than the lightning that struck Camelot. In the face of overwhelming power, no matter how hard we tried, we couldn’t come up with an answer.
So Yuwon saw it with his own eyes.
To see through that enormous power. To grasp its power as much as possible.
Then the lightning struck and Yuwon fell to the ground.
“As expected, he’s not dead.”
A voice came from the bedside.
Yuwon turned his head and looked up at Zeus.
Looking at the electric shock wrapped around my body, it seemed like I couldn’t control the overflowing power.
“Did you shoot him to kill him?”
“I believed I wouldn’t die.”
“I believe it.”
“If he’s going to get killed in a place like this, it’s better for him to die now instead of bothering me right in front of him.”
Those were pretty cold words.
There is no need for half-baked colleagues. If something like that exists, it would be better to die.
Can we really call ourselves colleagues because of something like that?
At least in Yuwon’s mind, the answer was ‘no’.
but.
‘This side is more Zeus-like.’
A self-righteous tyrant.
To him, everyone but himself was below, there was no side or above.
A friend to Zeus.
I don’t know how incongruous the word is.
At the very least, Zeus will regard him as a comrade as long as he is judged to be worthy.
That’s enough.
After all, that was what Yuwon wanted.
“so? Did you gain anything?”
Yuwon shook his head in response to Zeus’ question.
For a moment, my mind was blown, and my physical condition was indescribable.
“I knew for sure that you had become a huge monster.”
“That’s not it….”
“Confirming that is also a harvest for me.”
Zeus’ eyes narrowed at Yuwon’s answer.
Soon the corners of his mouth curl up.
“It seems like you are thinking the same thing as me.”
“The method may be the same, but the purpose is probably the same.”
Zeus is self-righteous.
Rather than pulling the whole together, he decided to fight against outside forces, including foolish chaos, with his own strength.
I thought it was possible and he had the strength to have that confidence.
of course.
That’s because he still doesn’t know what’s outside of this tower.
Tuk Tuk-.
Yuwon stood up, shaking off the dust from his clothes.
Yuwon quickly came to his senses, and Hwaan Geumjeong appeared again in his eyes.
Within.
The image of Zeus was reflected in the eyes, which were colored gold and red, respectively.
“You must become stronger. “Me too.”
“You are certain of something.”
Just in case, this is something that comes to mind.
Normally I would have just passed it over, but this time it was different.
Kwa-reung-kwa-reung-!
A tremendous amount of electricity erupted from Zeus’ body. Along with the sound of thunder, a tremendous amount of magical energy was felt from him, surprising even Yuwon.
Reincarnation of Indra?
no.
I thought maybe it was more than that. Zeus, who was looking for a replacement for the thunderbolt, obtained the heart of Indra and through it, he was far beyond his prime.
“Are you saying this isn’t enough?”
Kurung Kurung-.
It is truly a threatening force.
It’s hard to even get close. Yuwon felt his body go numb as he encountered the power of Zeus up close.
In my heart, I wanted to at least give him a thumbs up and say he was great.
but.
“long time.”
The opponent was not very good.
Many, not one.
no.
Perhaps they are trying to fight against a huge world that they have never experienced or even thought about.
And Yuwon has had many fights with them.
Among those companions, there was one who had the same power as Zeus now.
“It’s still far from enough. “It’s hard to be satisfied there.”
This was the reason why I insisted on saying something that I would normally have glossed over.
Zeus still needs to become stronger. I wasn’t satisfied with where I was now, I had to become much stronger.
Therefore, Yuwon had to put Zeus on notice.
It’s still not enough, so don’t be conceited.
And did you understand the intention?
“Hmm…”
Zeus raised the corners of his mouth and looked at Yuwon.
“The intention behind the words is arrogant.”
Tsutsutsu-.
The electricity emanating from Zeus’ body gradually stopped.
“You’re not wrong.”
Jeopuk-.
He turned and walked away.
It was to prepare to clash with Yuwon once again.
“As expected, you are fun. “More than anyone I’ve ever met in my life.”
“It’s unexpected.”
“What do you mean?”
Zeus stopped for a moment and glanced back at Yuwon.
“I thought you were going to get revenge on me.”
Zeus was the king of Olympus.
He was taken down by Yoo Won and imprisoned. Of course, Yuwon thought that he was vowing to take revenge on himself.
However, when they met again, Zeus did not show any ill feelings towards him.
Why?
Although I only saw clear results rather than reasons, I was curious about what kind of change of heart it was.
“Do you have anything to complain about?”
Jeopuk-.
Zeus walked again and looked back at Yuwon.
He widened the distance and raised his electric strike again as if he was wasting time.
The flow of magical power that began to surround Zeus’ body entered Hwaan Geumjeong.
“The reason I lost to you was because I wasn’t good enough. “It was due to lack of preparation or lack of strength.”
The reason why Zeus did not blame Yuwon.
It was simple.
From the beginning, his mindset was different.
“There is nothing more ugly than passing on to others the cause of defeat or the object of resentment. “You were my enemy from beginning to end, even if you were betrayed by someone you trusted.”
Although he was a tyrant, Zeus created one huge guild. Moreover, since Olympus had a much shorter history than Asgard, it grew rapidly in a short period of time.
indeed.
I felt like I now knew why Olympus was able to grow so quickly.
“So don’t hesitate and take the plunge again.”
Stop it!
“This time, I’ll do it at eye level.”
Maybe Zeus also thinks the same way.
It’s difficult to do alone, so let’s form a team.
Yuwon was already planning the team. And Zeus in front of me was a new member of the originally planned team.
‘When it comes to lightning attributes, there is no one as powerful as Zeus.’
It was Zeus who had handled the thunderbolt for a long time, over a thousand years.
Unlike Hades or Poseidon, he would have the best understanding of how to use the Heart of Ouranos.
I lost my mind just now.
This time had to be different.
Hwareuk-.
[‘Hwaan Geumjeong’ captures the essence.]
“Please again.”
* * *
“Lightning is known to be the most destructive type of magical power, along with fire.”
Kwarung-!
Lightning struck Yuwon’s head.
Although I moved ahead and escaped the center of the lightning, I was unable to dodge it all because the range was so wide.
Stop it!
Yuwon’s body, caught in the range, staggered.
The skin that had been burned by the electric shock was blackened and the strength of the body was gradually lost, but the eyes were clear.
“But what matters is speed.”
Chijiji-.
Electricity moves along the tips of Zeus’ fingers.
And according to those words, Yuwon’s eyes followed the flow of electricity that gathered at the tip of his finger.
It’s definitely faster than destructive. Unlike fire, it had a speed that was difficult to follow with the eye.
“And that soon turns into destructive power.”
Flash!
It was visible to the eye.
But it wasn’t fast enough to react.
Whoa!
“…!”
A ray of electricity piercing the solar plexus.
I felt my consciousness slipping away. I barely gritted my teeth and held on, but I couldn’t help but bend my knees.
dump-.
“I lasted a long time.”
Zeus’ voice came from close by.
Thinking that it was over, Yuwon lost strength and lay down on the floor.
Chijiji-.
A subtle electric shock flows through Yuwon’s fingertips.
It was a lightning strike that was used without using Uranus.
“You learn quickly.”
It was only two days.
Meanwhile, Yuwon repeatedly fought Hades and Poseidon and learned from Zeus how to use magic power of the lightning attribute.
Is it to shorten the time as much as possible?
Yuwon chose to confront the Samsin head-on rather than relying on Uranus.
Continue without stopping.
The results were being revealed little by little.
“Well… it’s thanks to this.”
Yuwon lay down on the floor and pointed to his slightly opened eyes.
Hwaan Geumjeong.
An eye that grasps the essence of all objects and phenomena, including magical power.
In addition, Zeus understood the nature of the magic he controlled better than anyone else and taught it through words.
It would be even weirder if it didn’t increase quickly.
“Tomorrow it’s big brother’s turn. “Take a rest.”
Sssssssssssssssssssss-.
Yuwon’s body sank into the ground, as if he was waiting for the words to fall.
The darkness of Hades engulfed Yuwon. Yuwon will probably move to his accommodation like this.
“….”
Zeus stood there for a moment and turned his head.
Golden eyes peered into the dense forest. Zeus, who had been looking at the spot for a while, soon turned into a ray of golden light and disappeared from the spot.
* * *
The place where Zeus disappeared.
Jeopuk-.
A footprint was left in a remote area far from the city.
A face and features as blurry as a ghost. Blades of grass and trees dying around the tip of one’s toes.
Foolish Chaos muttered as he looked at the land dying like that.
“It’s dangerous as expected.”
There was no error in the way he was looking at himself just a moment ago.
At first, I wondered if it was possible.
However, the glances that glanced once in a while soon changed to a clear recognition of himself.
Zeus found himself.
The growth was steeper and faster than expected.
“So it’s his blood after all?”
One of two outside of his own plans.
And it was Zeus who had the power to pose a threat to his current self.
The other side is also a target of caution, but if you consider priorities, there is no need to think deeply about it.
Zeus.
He was the horse that created Gigantomachia and until a few years ago was considered one of the greatest horses of all time.
But now.
The tip of his spear was aimed at his own throat, not the giant’s.
And with a sharp spear powerful enough to pierce his own neck.
“I can’t give you time.”
It was a bit of an extreme choice, but I couldn’t help it.
The eyes of foolish confusion were dyed purple from black to white.
“Clean it up right now.”
Within.
At the sound of his voice, the beings outside the tower began to squirm one by one.
