Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 332
[Level Up with God Episode 332]
* * *
Early morning.
Wasak-.
Yuwon took a bite of fruit.
It was still bright outside the window. Unlike the Demon World, the night in the sky passed in the blink of an eye.
After a good rest, my body and mind felt refreshed. It felt like it had been a while since I had a leisurely meal.
It was thanks to the hospitality from the Demon King’s Army. Yuwon sat down in the city in the sky and rested for a few days.
‘I guess I’ll have to move later today.’
We ran quickly for this Battle of Heavenly Demon. In order to meet the schedule, I took the exam without stopping and eventually successfully solved the Cheonma Daejeon.
eat and sleep Eat and sleep again.
After spending a few days like that, my heavy head felt a little lighter.
As the last leisurely meal was coming to an end.
Ugh, huh-.
The player kit left on the table rang.
[Hargan]
Yuwon thought for a moment at the name that appeared on the kit.
I was afraid that if I received this call now, the leisure I had gained so long would be shattered.
A ringing sound that continues without interruption. Yuwon finally answered the phone.
-hey! What’s going on?
I thought it was a good idea to keep the kit away from my ears.
As expected, Hargan raised his voice from the beginning.
“What is the job?”
-Your ranking. Have you checked it yet?
“ranking?”
Yuwon reached for the player kit.
“Hang up.”
Tick-.
Yuwon quickly hung up the phone and began searching for information using the player kit.
It was the second time Hargan had made such a fuss.
The first is when the amusement park’s ranking was first registered.
It was quite surprising that Yuwon, who was not even a ranker, was registered in the rankings.
However, even though Yuwon’s ranking went up after that, Hargan did not contact him or anything.
As if this wasn’t even more surprising.
But that wasn’t the case this time.
‘What on earth did the rankings look like?…’
Uncharacteristically, Yuwon froze in his seat for a moment after searching the rankings.
This was because the rankings had risen so high that it was hard to believe it.
[Kim Yu-won: 53rd]
53rd.
It was a ranking that was only two points different from the current king of Olympus, Hades.
No matter how much Yuwon’s skills improved, the increase in ranking was too much.
Yuwon’s previous ranking was 67th.
It has been raised by a whopping 14 levels.
Even when Ragnarok was finished, Yuwon’s ranking did not soar as it does now.
‘Is it because of the title?’
Having an affiliation somewhere means more than strengthening one’s personal power.
It was the same for Raguel right now.
He, the Prime Minister of Heaven, was ranked within the top 100 even though his skills were at the level of a mediocre high ranker.
This was because, in terms of power, he was the second in command in heaven.
If it were any other ranker, he would have danced at the higher ranking, but Yuwon actually felt dizzy.
Related articles appeared next to Yuwon’s ranking.
[Misjudgment by Kim Yu-won’s ranking rise management bureau?]
[The truth of ranking is skill?]
[The devil’s second-in-command. Is the devil behind Kim Yu-won?]
[Analysis of Kim Yu-won’s actions. [His tutorial motivation…]
I felt like I could roughly understand what it was about just by looking at the title.
Some articles had provocative titles, as if they were completely convinced that Yuwon had joined the Demon King.
“Anyway, those reporters…”
He was a Yuwon who had no interest in what was going on in the world.
It was natural.
Yuwon already knew not only how the world worked, but also how it would work.
I knew much more than the reporters who were running around eagerly, and I couldn’t help but be uninterested in their information.
But still, maybe it was because I was bored.
Yuwon began to find and read several major articles, starting with speculative articles about himself.
Meanwhile.
“…uh?”
An article caught Yuwon’s eye.
[Strife for power within Olympus. Conflict between Hera and Hades?]
[Hercules at a crossroads of choice. Other siblings include Apollo and Artemis.]
[There is no power struggle between Dionysus and Olympus, the high ranker of Olympus. Olympus has already stabilized… What is the truth?]
Olympus, where Zeus retreated.
It was Hades who took over the vacant position of king.
He was the highest ranked player in Olympus except for Zeus, and everyone considered him a suitable successor to Zeus.
Because when Zeus was purged, there was no Poseidon in Olympus.
but.
Aside from the Three Gods, there was another high ranker within Olympus who could threaten him.
‘Hera…’
A high ranker second only to Zeus as his wife.
She was moving to take over Olympus.
‘Did this actually happen?’
I searched my memories, but it wasn’t there.
A change occurred in the history we knew.
There was a smell.
“If you change the cases one by one, there will definitely be some change.”
“Then we’ll have to dig into that part. “The fact that there has been a change means that there is a high possibility that there has been intervention in some way.”
I wasn’t sure yet.
Still, I felt like I needed to check.
‘Then…’
Yuwon turned the screen and called Hargan again.
A brief reception sound.
And just a moment later.
-Why did you hang up the phone so unilaterally?
Hargan’s angry voice returned.
“sorry. “Just checking and calling immediately.”
-ranking?
“okay.”
-but. It’s worth wondering. I ran a lot, but really.
Fortunately, Hargan was not overly displeased. Not only was this the first time Yuwon hung up the phone like this, he also had another purpose.
-Seeing as you don’t even check the rankings, I guess you don’t even know about us?
Hargan spoke first.
For Yuwon, who was about to bring up a story related to Olympus, it was a welcome start.
“It looks like they’re in the middle of a fight.”
-It’s not at the fighting level. Now…
the voice is cut off for a moment.
The conflict was felt beyond the kit. Thinking that he could hear the sound of his head rolling up to here, Yuwon slowly waited for Hargan’s next words.
-No, no. Can we meet and talk first? We’ll find it for you.
It seemed like there was something I needed help with.
It probably won’t take long.
Because Olympus had the best means of transportation called the sun chariot.
“Where am I now…”
* * *
It took only four hours for Hargan to come to the amusement park.
I spoke on the phone after breakfast, and it arrived around lunch time.
Yuwon was sitting in a cafe outside the dorm. In a deserted cafe with few customers, there was nothing to be concerned about.
“You came early.”
“Because it was only two floors away.”
“Sit down first.”
Druk-.
Hargan sat across from Yuwon. As he sat in an empty cafe and looked out the window, his eyes widened as if in wonder.
“It’s awkward. “Because there are demons roaming around here.”
“Everyone should get used to it now. “Because we are in the same guild.”
“Is there really no problem?”
“Of course, right now, it looks like nothing much is happening due to Diablo’s orders. “No one knows when and what kind of problem will arise.”
“It’s dangerous.”
“It was a problem that had to be faced at least once. “It has been decided that way since the Great War of the Heavenly Demon began.”
“All kinds of strange things are happening…”
Normally, I should have been surprised with my mouth agape.
The Battle of the Heavenly Demons was a fight that lasted as long as the history of Olympus. Perhaps it was a fight with more meaning than Gigantomachia.
However, Yuwon ended the Heavenly Demon War.
It was absurd, but I thought I would do it now.
‘This isn’t the first time something like this has happened.’
He reorganized Olympus and brought down the Three Noble Men. He brought about Ragnarok and destroyed Muspelheim, and this time he ended the Great War of the Heavenly Demon.
Now I don’t think I’ll be surprised no matter what happens.
When Hargan arrived, the drinks Yuwon had ordered in advance were brought out. Hargan’s was a sweeter drink than coffee.
“Anyway, congratulations. The ranking has gone up. And we finally settled into one place.”
“It didn’t settle down.”
“huh?”
“It’s a misinformation. “Reporters said something strange.”
“…A false report?”
Hargan tilted his head and scratched his head, wondering what was going on.
The article said that he had clearly become the devil’s second-in-command. Otherwise, it was difficult to understand Yuwon’s unprecedented rise in ranking.
But Yoo Won himself says that’s not true.
“Well, you’re probably right. “You’re not the kind of person who would lie about something like this.”
Hargan adjusted his posture and sat down.
Hargan, who bent forward, said, “Anyway,” and changed the topic of conversation.
“I feel like I’ve only heard about the news going on in the world these days. “Do you know what’s going on in Olympus these days?”
“Dionysus was interviewed and said it was no big deal.”
“You don’t believe that, do you?”
“no way.”
Hargan nodded as if he was glad.
“that’s right. “Something special happened.”
A face that suddenly becomes serious.
He knew that Olympus was a mess, but it was the first time Yuwon had seen Hargan react so seriously.
“Is it really because of Hera?”
“okay.”
Hargan shook his head and covered his head with one hand, as if his head was pounding when he recalled recent events.
“I don’t know if he was carrying on Uncle Poseidon’s back or whether he was recruiting many other rankers in Olympus. “It seems like Hera has been keeping uncle Hades in check lately.”
“Maybe a force outside the guild was involved.”
“That would be the worst. “It’s not a problem within the guild, but it could escalate into a war.”
“What about Hercules? “What are you doing?”
In some ways, it was the simplest problem.
Hercules, the giant slayer.
He was the highest power in Olympus without Zeus and a high ranker with unparalleled power.
Moreover, after obtaining a club made from the branches of Yggdrasil in Ragnarok, he had enough power to face Olympus alone.
“If Brother Hercules helps us, we have nothing to worry about. No, Hera wouldn’t have been able to do something like this in the first place because of that older brother.”
Hargan sighed.
“That’s the problem…”
That was actually the reason Hargan came to the amusement park.
“For some reason, Brother Hercules can’t contact me.”
“Contact me?”
“I don’t think anything would have happened to my brother due to his skills. “Because the rankings are still the same.”
That was correct.
Hercules wasn’t too worried about Yuwon either. Unless Hera joins hands with Zeus again, there will be no way to threaten Hercules.
However, Zeus is currently on the 100th floor.
There was no time to hold hands with Hera.
“Then what are you so worried about?”
“The problem is, from what we have figured out, it looks like Hera has proposed a bet.”
“bet?”
With those words, Hargan whispered softly to Yuwon.
“Twelve tasks. “It seems he has accepted that.”
