Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 339
[Level Up with the Gods Episode 339]
* * *
Apollo’s exclusive property that sends hot heat all the way to the inside.
One of the objects known to be the fastest means of transportation in this tower.
Sun carriage.
Yuwon and Hercules were traveling on it.
Grumble-.
Hercules fell asleep.
How can you sleep so well under these circumstances?
This is probably to store up stamina even at times like these.
‘but. The task is not easy.’
The same goes for fighting Hydra and killing the wild boar of Erymanthus.
None of the tasks were easy. Moreover, Hercules worked tirelessly to end his bet with Hera as quickly as possible.
The fatigue that has accumulated so far is probably considerable.
I left it alone for now.
Because the key to this fight was this guy.
‘It’s rare for Hercules to be this sincere.’
He was naturally reluctant to fight.
Hercules did not use his fists unless it was absolutely necessary. That is why we have been doing nothing but trees in the forest for the past thousand years until Gigantomachia started again.
Even if it was necessary, it was the same.
He didn’t use his fists excessively. It was because he knew what power his fist had and what would happen because of it.
however.
This time the case was different.
‘The problem is over there.’
The story would be different if Hera took control of Olympus.
There was no way that foolish chaos would have left Hercules out of the equation. He must have started work with Hercules in mind.
In that case, Hercules was no longer the all-powerful key that could solve all cases.
Sigh-.
Yuwon stared at the floor of the sun carriage.
lang syne.
Just like when he was making plans, Yuwon started drawing on the floor using the sheath of his knife as a brush.
‘We need to find the key.’
In an individual fight, strength and weakness are everything, but in a big fight like now, there is bound to be a key.
‘This guy completely redesigned the game.’
Swoosh swoosh-.
Olympus.
Hera.
Stupid chaos Hercules.
And even the dead Hades.
As he drew detailed relationships, each of them became chess pieces and appeared before Yuwon’s eyes.
‘I also have to redraw the board.’
The strongest piece was Hercules.
However, the opponent’s pieces were difficult to see, as if they were covered in thick fog.
‘A variable is needed.’
What is the strongest hand that can be used in this situation?
Slowly searching his mind, Yuwon continued to draw.
* * *
Boom-.
The sun chariot landed on the ground.
When the heavy weight fell, Hercules, who had been sleeping, came to his senses.
How long did you sleep?
Hercules, who was looking around his head with half-open eyes, opened his mouth wide and yawned.
“Has it arrived already haaam?”
It felt like I had slept soundly for the first time in a long time.
but.
It felt like I hadn’t had a proper rest since I started the task.
Once again, I thought that the sun carriage was good.
‘That guy…’
Hercules woke up and went to the amusement park first.
People around you who don’t seem to be popular.
I thought Yuwon was also asleep.
however.
“What are you doing now?”
Yuwon was sitting with his arms crossed, his back turned to Hercules.
Hercules, who asked a question, immediately closed his mouth.
I wanted to move as quickly as possible to complete the next task, but I felt different from usual.
Yuwon called, but there was no answer.
I wasn’t even sleeping.
It means that you are thinking about something.
How much more time has passed like that?
“Contact Athena.”
Yuwon, who was staring at the player kit in front of him, opened his mouth.
“First of all…”
Yuwon’s words continued for a long time.
Hercules, who was waiting for the words to end, pressed his finger between his eyebrows and asked.
“Will that really happen?”
“Right now, this is the most likely option. “I don’t think they would want to take that much time.”
“That’s true.”
“You won’t lose anything by trusting me. “There is no harm in having insurance.”
“but.”
Hercules nodded at those words, took out the player kit, and left a message to Apollo.
A letter written slowly with clumsy fingers. After leaving the message, Hercules stood up.
“Let them take care of that. “Are you still going to stay here?”
“okay.”
“I’m not going to help you anyway, so why bother? If you really want to help, I think it would be better to help that side.”
Although he had just finished the fourth task, Hercules was confident.
I believe that I will be able to complete this task on my own.
So he felt that Yuwon’s accompanying him was an unnecessary waste of manpower.
but.
“You don’t regret saying that?”
“…?”
Hercules looked puzzled at Yuwon’s words, which seemed somewhat confident.
Then, with a confident expression on his face, he patted his chest with one hand.
“Say the obvious.”
“okay?”
Those were meaningful words and expressions.
“Be sure to keep those words.”
Yuwon got up from his seat and started walking with a somewhat happy expression on his face.
And half a day later.
Deeply…
Hercules, holding a shovel the size of a house with his arms full of strength, muttered with a frown on his face.
“Well, there are all these ordeals….”
Mmm-eh-.
The huge cows mooed. Even at this time, they were eating food equivalent to their body size and pooping abundantly.
And Hercules, who cleans up the poop that those cows make and that hasn’t been cleaned up in a thousand years.
It was a task I could never get used to.
Cleaning up this amount of poop would not have been easy unless you were someone with such ignorance and super strength, but the problem was not strength but the ‘smell’.
It’s only been less than half a day since we started.
Hercules was experiencing hell for the first time in his life.
And then Hercules’ kit rang.
[Kim Yu-won: Is it really okay if I don’t help you?]
Quick-.
A message as if everyone knew about this situation.
“This bastard…”
Hercules felt angry at someone for the first time in a long time.
If Yuwon was in front of me, I would want to punch him right away.
But I couldn’t help it.
Because the words were already spoken and I couldn’t pick them up.
Deeply…
Eventually, Hercules started digging again.
I just hated the cows that kept defecating right in front of me.
And Yoo Won watched Hercules like that from a distance where the smell could not reach.
‘Anyway, I persisted.’
It was his will to stop Hera by somehow completing the task.
After Hades died.
Hercules’ will became stronger. I thought that if things continued like this, Olympus might end up in catastrophe.
That’s why I became obsessed with tasks.
Yuwon secretly hoped that he would choose to fight Hera, even if it meant some sacrifice, rather than making an uncertain bet, but… ‘
That’s not like that guy.’
Hoping for the best results even when taking risks.
That was Hercules, and it was also the reason why Hercules was called a hero.
Because he always sacrificed himself to create results that were beneficial to everyone.
Deeply…
Yuwon looked at Hercules, who was quickly scooping up shit with a shovel the size of a house.
It was truly an incredible speed.
The venom of Hercules, who even used giant boots to lightly move a shovel, was terrifying.
‘This is the fifth time.’
Along with the third test, this was the task that Hercules said was the most arduous.
‘If it moves…’
Yuwon looked at the scene happily and thought about the remaining tasks in his head.
The sixth task of the task was to catch three swarms of Stypalos.
Kill the seventh Cretan bull.
….
Bringing back alive the red cattle of the tenth Geruones.
And the eleventh.
‘I guess it’s the eleventh time.’
Among a total of twelve tasks.
Yuwon remembered the eleventh task.
Retrieving golden apples from the Garden of the Hesperides.
That was the purpose of the eleventh task.
But Yuwon was not interested in golden apples.
Instead, there was something I had to get from that garden.
“My mother Thetis wanted to make me immortal.”
Achilles.
He was a high-ranking member of Olympus and had a high ranking compared to his skills.
There is one reason.
It was because of one trait he possessed.
“So upon my birth, my mother dipped my body in the River Styx and smeared it with ambrosia.”
His tough vitality.
The vitality of Achilles, who never gets tired and never dies, was enough to make one wonder if he was immortal.
but.
“The result was a failure. What is immortality? Is it possible that just applying it to the body can be effective? It’s a little stronger, but it’s not immortal. Everyone take note. “No matter what elixir you use, always put it in your mouth without giving it to your skin.”
As he said that, Achilles glanced at Goku.
He seems to be envious of Son Goku, who, unlike himself, is truly immortal.
“So where did you get it?”
So he revealed his secrets one by one.
“I don’t know either. “Except it’s next to the golden apple tree.”
“Golden apple tree?”
A murmur burst out in a surprised voice.
At those words, everyone’s eyes turned to the owner of the voice.
He said that he was talking quietly to himself, but Hercules’ voice was so deep and loud that he couldn’t hear it.
In such a focused gaze.
Hercules opened his mouth in a much quieter voice than before with an embarrassed expression on his face.
“I’ve been there…”
* * *
Castle above the clouds.
Hera arrived at Olympus, the most sacred castle.
Thousands of players and rankers on flying carriages followed her.
Jeopuk-.
Hera stepped onto the castle above the clouds and took a deep breath.
The wind blew through the red cloth wrapped around her body, and the refreshing air stimulated the tip of her nose.
“It’s been a while, here too.”
It used to be a place that was like home.
But after Zeus was purged.
She never came here.
Jeopuk-.
Numerous rankers and players in the capital city blocked her path.
Hera, who was about to enter the castle, opened her mouth to the blonde man at the front.
“I came to find my place.”
“Please go back.”
Hargan.
He said, glaring at Hera.
“We haven’t even had a funeral yet.”
“I guess the order doesn’t matter, right?”
“Please go back.”
That moment.
chuck-.
At Athena’s gesture, the royal side’s rankers took a stance.
It looked as if he would pull out his weapon and use his skill at any moment.
“Otherwise I will consider you an enemy.”
“Is there any way to stop me?”
Sigh-.
Hera’s gaze turned to Athena, who was holding the Aegis in her hands.
“It must have been difficult with that one child.”
Hargan intuitively felt what she said.
Hercules was away and Hades died.
The Apollo siblings refused to fight with her, their biological mother. Their position was that no matter how much they became enemies, they could not attack the mother who gave birth to them.
The only remaining power is Athena.
Olympus’s power was weakening.
And Hera took advantage of that opportunity.
“yes.”
It was really amazing.
“there is.”
Suddenly, I thought it was really amazing.
‘How did he convince himself of this situation?’
Hargan took a step to the side.
A beautiful hair color that looks like it has been dyed orange.
White and fair skin and much clearer focus than before.
I only saw his face once, but it was an unforgettable face.
“…Pandora?”
lang syne.
When I opened the box, the girl who had been cursed appeared here.
