Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 316
[Level Up with God Episode 316]
* * *
Being able to change forms brings quite a few advantages.
This was especially true for items with nearly infinite strength, such as the heart of Uranus.
Convenience and efficiency.
When choosing an item, it was as important a factor as the power of the item.
For example.
Chijijiji-.
The light of the glove that had been shining in my hand diminished.
Uranus’ heart changed into the shape of a ring. Rings were the most preferred item among all players, excluding weapons.
This was because it was the most convenient and light to carry.
‘What you need is imagination. It’s not difficult to use.’
It was a familiar form of usage. Changing the form was as easy as flipping the palm of your hand, and now all that was left was how to use the form change in battle.
It was the first time for Yuwon to have an item that could freely change its shape.
‘Now all that’s left is power.’
Phage support -.
Wow-.
The magic that flowed from the ring formed a spear, and Yuwon’s hand grasped it with all his might.
And the next moment.
Flash!
The spear left Yuwon’s hand and flew up into the sky through the clouds.

There is the biggest event in the demon world.
It was such a large event that it could be said that demons existed for that day.
“This time, let’s kick it all out.”
“Is Michael fully healed?”
“It looks like he’s gritting his teeth after hitting Zeus.”
“Anyway, archangels. “He doesn’t have the slightest skill, but he has a lot of pride…”
“Who will we bet on who will kill more this time?”
The demons raised their spirits a lot.
Unlike the demon world where they usually lived, the sky they were standing in was blue and clear without a single cloud.
The 93rd floor of the world sky.
Demons were gathering there one by one.
And in between.
“This Battle of Heavenly Demon is special.”
Behemoth was more motivated than ever.
“Michael’s injuries are fatal. In addition, the sky suffered an irreparable blow due to Ragnarok.”
Sigh-.
Behemoth smiled, raising the corners of his mouth, and opened his arms wide towards the demons.
“Follow me! Then I will let you drink as much angel blood as you want! “This is the perfect opportunity to increase your ranking!”
“Waaah-!”
“Behemoth!”
“Behemoth! “Behemoth!”
hot enthusiasm.
Behemoth, who was speaking while looking down at the demons from the cliff, nodded cheerfully.
It was then.
“How is it that there is no progress in that cringe-inducing speech?”
There was a voice that poured cold water into the heated atmosphere.
Behemoth turned his head and frowned. Because of his temperament, he wanted to swing the hammer he had in his hand right away, but he couldn’t do that.
“You must take some responsibility for your position, Diablo.”
“We, the demons, are a race that grows stronger when given freedom rather than forming a group by nature. “Why don’t you stop doing this nonsense?”
It was Diablo, reclining on a chair I didn’t know where he had gotten it from, and lying down at an angle.
The two people’s thoughts were completely opposite.
Behemoth says that demons need to move more systematically, and Diablo says that they are not demons.
The two people’s ideologies clashed every time, and because of this, the two forces never merged into one.
“Why are you doing this useless thing in the first place?…”
Diablo clicked his tongue as if he was pathetic and slowly raised his body from where it was lying at an angle.
“The fight will end once we catch Metatron. But it’s always so needlessly grandiose.”
“It’s not just Metatron. “The whole race of angels are our enemies.”
“Behemoth.”
Behemoth was startled by the ragged voice.
At that moment, a reddish aura seemed to appear in Diablo’s eyes.
“How about being a little more honest?”
“…What do you mean?”
“It’s because of the rankings, right? “Your ranking will change depending on whether you win or lose this fight.”
For rankers, ranking was honor and power.
It was also the most certain number to prove one’s worth when applying for a guild or job.
And this figure became more valuable in the demon world.
The rank of demons was determined by ranking. Diablo, who had the highest ranking, became the leader of the demons.
“Aren’t you planning to somehow create a group to increase your contribution and raise your ranking?”
At Diablo’s words, Behemoth secretly avoided his gaze.
“I’m not interested in that.”
Behemoth completely turned around and began to look at the other demons again.
And in response to Behemoth’s reaction, Diablo clicked his tongue as if he was pathetic and leaned back into his chair.
“I’m not interested.”
Behemoth.
Of all the demon lords, he was the one I liked the least.
He was ranked third, after himself and Baal, but his personality was completely opposite.
A guy who tries to use the power of the group rather than his own power.
Diablo didn’t like Behemoth the most.
“How can a guy as big as a mountain be so scared?”
Diablo muttered in an indifferent voice and looked up at the clouds stretching far away.
A layer dominated by the sky.
It’s been 20 years since I came here.
‘It’s almost now.’
The battle between the Demon World and Heaven returns once every 10 years.
At first, they showed their teeth out of hostility toward each other, but now the meaning has changed.
At some point, the administrator intervened in the fight, a system was imposed, and the young demons began the Heavenly Demon War as if it were an event.
For a moment, scenes from the Heavenly Demon War that took place in the past flashed through Diablo’s mind.
‘Compared to back then, it’s just child’s play now.’
The demons down there did not know about the Heavenly Demon War at that time.
It wasn’t just them.
The same was true for some demon lords, including Behemoth.
The Great War of the Heavenly Demons that they experienced was nothing more than a party to express the anger of the demons that had accumulated without being resolved and to see the blood they so desperately wanted.
Struggling to survive?
revenge?
That probably doesn’t exist for them.
“I’m bored.”
“I agree too.”
Diablo craned his neck and looked at the back of the chair.
Someone was looking down at him, wondering when he had come this close.
And over his shoulders.
“Baat-.”
There was a small child waving his cute round hand at him.
* * *
Diablo invited Yuwon to a hastily built barracks with demons.
For something that was built in just a few minutes, the barracks looked quite large and sturdy. There were quite a variety of chairs inside, so you could sit facing each other.
Yuwon looked around the quickly built barracks and nodded with the same smile on his face.
“They say demons learn magic from the time they are toddlers. It seems to be true.”
“Kids these days are like that. “In my time, there were quite a few guys who used magic before babbling.”
“Are you talking about me?”
“then.”
Diablo, who shrugged his shoulders and showed off, asked Yuwon who was sitting across from him.
“How did we get here?”
“I came up after taking the test.”
“I guess that’s right. Still, it’s not like we ran into each other by chance, right? “The 93rd floor is not a small world.”
The 93rd floor was a world about half the size of the Earth where Yuwon lived. It couldn’t be said to be very big, but it wasn’t a small world either.
It was an unexpected encounter to say that we met by chance. Moreover, Yuwon came straight to Diablo among the many demons.
“I came because I had some business to do.”
“Like during Ragnarok?”
“okay.”
“I guess I brought something interesting again this time.”
Diablo smiled, showing his teeth.
Ragnarok was the most interesting thing he had experienced recently. Among all the boring and uninteresting things, the most interesting thing was Ragnarok.
“And you’ve changed a lot too.”
When Diablo looked at Yuwon, Lee Chae looked young.
Even when Yuwon first appeared, there was a feeling that something had changed. However, I couldn’t tell right away at first, and after some time passed and I continued to see it up close, I became convinced.
Something has changed.
It wasn’t just the atmosphere or the look in the eyes.
The flow of mana surrounding Yuwon itself has changed. So much so that even if I tried to hide it, I couldn’t.
“Are you the one who killed Indra?”
Yuwon’s eyebrows twitched at the unexpected question.
It can’t be a secret forever, but I never thought it would reach Diablo’s ears so quickly.
Diablo shrugged his shoulders when asked how he knew.
“The ranking went up.”
“What is the ranking?”
“what. “Didn’t you see it?”
Unlike other rankers, Yuwon did not really care about rankings. I had already mastered that kind of thing for a long time, and I was already familiar with the rankings of most rankers.
But the ranking went up in a short period of time.
I felt like I could see once again how reliable the ranking management bureau was in handling its affairs.
“Your story is a hot topic among demons these days. How did the rankings rise so quickly? “Maybe if I become a real ranker, my ranking will rise again.”
Despite Diablo’s words, Yuwon’s reaction was sour.
Normally, when I heard that my ranking had risen, I would immediately take out my player kit and check it, but this was an unexpected reaction.
“You don’t like it that much?”
“You can confirm later.”
“Anyway, it’s a different species.”
Diablo grinned.
As expected, talking to Yuwon was much more fun than the other guys shaking in front of him. I was already looking forward to seeing what else they would do this time.
Those who don’t know the details might think that Odin or Surtur were the main characters of Ragnarok, but Diablo knew.
No matter what anyone said, the Yuwon in front of me was the one who caused Ragnarok.
“so? What brought you here again? “Something fun is happening?”
“Are you asking what else could have happened that would have brought us here?”
“Is it because of the Heavenly Demon War?”
“okay.”
I did it just in case, but still.
This time, my expectations were not wrong. The reason Yuwon came here was because of the Battle of Heavenly Demon.
Among the rankers living at the top, this is an event that everyone knows about if their ears are just a little open.
Yuwon came with interest in that very thing.
“It’s a boring fight. “The goal is to kill, but neither side has the intention to win.”
I lost interest a little.
When it comes to the Battle of Heavenly Demon, I have experienced it hundreds of times. However, to Diablo, the recent Heavenly Demon War was nothing more or less than children’s play.
That was the reason why Diablo was interested in Ragnarok.
Because the recent Heavenly Demon War was really not fun.
“If you want to participate in the Heavenly Demon War, do so. But you probably won’t be very happy about it. “Like the angels, we also find this fight noble.”
“I’m not trying to fight.”
A question mark appeared above Diablo’s head.
The Cheonma War was a war. Although it has only recently changed its form and become a trivial event, its form was clear.
A fight that kills and kills.
However, Yuwon was saying that he would not fight in the Battle of Heavenly Demon.
“What do you mean?”
“There is work to be done here.”
“A thing to do?”
“From this moment on….”
The biggest event on the 93rd floor.
Cheonma Daejeon.
In this battle that took place once every ten years, Yuwon’s job was completely opposite to that of the angels and demons.
“Stopping the Heavenly Demon War.”
