Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 363
[Level Up with God Episode 363]
* * *
Yuwon quickly finished preparing to head to Asgard.
There wasn’t much to prepare. Before leaving, all I had to do was briefly say hello to Hades, the representative of Olympus.
“Are you going to Asgard?”
These were the words that Hercules gave to Yuwon, who had just met Hades.
I don’t remember being told where to go.
Yuwon noticed that Hercules’ gaze was directed towards Thor, who was waiting for him at the end of the hallway in the distance.
“Did you think I wouldn’t notice for this long?”
“Since when?”
“I had a hard time waiting in that humid cave. “It smelled better than I expected.”
From the time Mimir and Yuwon talked, it was said that Hercules had already broken his illusion.
but.
It may be Hargan, but if it’s Hercules, it wouldn’t be impossible to break Mimir’s illusion.
Moreover, the time given to him was only half a day.
“Who are you? so.”
of course.
Although he recognized the illusory being, he did not seem to recognize the identity of Mimir, who had transformed into Thor.
For some reason, the way Hercules looked at Mimir the whole way back to the castle seemed unusual.
“It’s Mimir.”
“Mimir?”
Hercules pondered the name for a moment and asked.
“King Odin’s friend?”
“okay.”
“Why is he here?”
Mimir was a friend of Odin who was said to awaken once every hundred years.
It seems that it took a while for Hercules to remember his name because he was so inactive that the name was almost forgotten by the world.
But rankings aside, his position in Asgard was never low.
Odin instructed everyone in Asgard to treat Mimir the same way they treated him.
“Do you want to know why?”
“I’m curious.”
“It’s because of Kronos.”
“Kronos?”
A brief pause.
Hercules nodded and opened his mouth.
“Right. I get it. Have a nice trip.”
In other cases, who is Kronos and why are we going to Asgard because of him? He asked me every question, but he passed it off as if it was no big deal.
I knew it.
‘I did it just in case.’
There were some things I knew would happen so I didn’t bother to bring up the story.
Anyway, even if I spoke, Hercules wouldn’t understand.
And that was true not only for Hercules but for anyone else.
‘We can’t move together on this matter anyway.’
Yuwon stopped for a moment and looked at Hercules.
Although it feels a little early.
“That guy back then…”
“That guy?”
“Atlas.”
Yuwon decided to hurry up a bit.
“There is a way to win.”
Hercules’ eyes twitched slightly.
Even so, Hercules had been replaying the fight with Atlas countless times in his mind recently.
A guy who had a much stronger body and strength than himself.
The image of Atlas smiling heartily and biting his arm was still clearly visible.
“…What?”
“Go up.”
“stomach?”
To Hercules, who was wondering what he was talking about, Yuwon told him the exact same things he had said to Zeus and Poseidon.
Hades had already heard the same story.
However, he had given up because he could not leave Olympus for long.
“The choice is yours. Either live as a carpenter without any intention of fighting any longer. Or go higher.”
When there was no war, Hercules introduced himself as a carpenter.
He was always like that.
He loved peace rather than fighting, and liked lazy, boring days.
Therefore, Yuwon did not force Hercules to participate in this fight.
of course.
I already knew which way the choice would lead anyway.
“see you later.”
Yuwon headed to the sun carriage with Mimir.
According to the original plan, we should have started climbing the tower right away.
‘How do I find that guy?’
Other things were more urgent now.
* * *
Asgard.
The richest and most beautiful country in this tower.
An absolute kingdom ruled by the strongest high ranker, Odin.
After Ragnarok, Asgard experienced unprecedented peace and prosperity.
And that time.
“It’s not good. It’s not good…”
King of the kingdom of Asgard.
While enjoying lunch, he looked out the window and muttered.
“Kr… kr… kra… lo?”
A name that vaguely comes to mind.
But it was a name I couldn’t remember.
It was strange.
“Cro-da.”
Even though Mimir had told me that name, I immediately forgot it. They said it was due to a side effect of Clockwork, but no matter how many times I heard the name over and over again, I quickly forgot it.
no.
It wasn’t just a matter of forgetting.
Throbbing-.
When I tried to force myself to remember the name, my mind became dizzy and I got a headache.
It felt like something was preventing me from recalling that name.
‘Is it about halfway now?’
I remembered that name.
A distant image outside the window came into Odin’s field of vision.
Scenery of a peaceful country.
People didn’t know anything.
This country.
No, what kind of swamp is this tower falling into?
“That’s not good.”
Dalgak-.
Odin stood up, putting down the coffee cup in his hand.
It has been fifteen days since Mimir left the kingdom.
He is back again.
* * *
Jeopuk-.
In the middle of a busy street.
People cheered, moving to the left and right of the road.
“Thor! Thor!”
“Thor!”
A prince walking down the street receiving cheers from people.
A true warrior of this era whose entire body is made of muscle.
‘That’s me.’
Although they had a solemn face on the outside, they were cheering on the inside. With his chest stretched out, Thor accepted the citizens’ handshakes.
“If you have any difficulties, please talk to me at any time.”
“Is farming going well?”
“It’s a very tasty bread. “I will eat well, thank you…”
Communicate with people without being formal.
That was Thor’s idea of the ideal king.
So, as he left the royal castle and mingled with people, people naturally cheered when they saw him.
“Thor! Thor!”
Not too far away.
The voices of citizens shouting their voices were heard.
‘Can you see me too?’
How did he know that he had come and that they were already cheering his name?
I thought I had to go quickly. Naturally, my steps became faster.
however.
“Thor!”
“Long live Prince Thor!”
The cheers were not directed at him.
‘what?’
A man with a face that looks exactly like him.
It seemed like people had mistaken the author for himself.
no.
“…It’s me, right?”
What on earth happened?
While Thor was so confused.
“Thor, what on earth is this guy doing?”
“Didn’t you say that? “If you’re trying to get in without being suspicious, you’ve chosen the wrong person.”
Yuwon and Mimir have been in this state ever since they arrived in Asgard.
Cheering citizens. People reaching out to shake hands.
It was a difficult situation for Mimir, who wanted to come in quietly.
“It can’t be helped. “If they find out I’m coming out, they won’t stay quiet.”
“So you chose Thor?”
“I thought Thor wasn’t that bad. “I won’t get caught up in unnecessary arguments, and I can go somewhere and be treated appropriately.”
It was a target chosen so insignificantly.
But now.
Mimir had no choice but to regret his choice for the first time in a long time.
“I never thought you would cause trouble like this. “Eh.”
It’s been about 50 years since Thor began wandering outside the castle.
Mimir, who was in a long sleep, couldn’t help but think that Thor would receive this kind of attention.
There was no need to use his eyes to find out about Thor.
There it is.
“Things are getting a little tricky.”
Yuwon is among the crowd surrounding them.
I noticed a familiar face approaching through the crowd.
“You guys-!”
A loud voice.
“How dare you pretend to be real on a fake subject?”
Thor stepped in front of Yuwon and Mimir. Even though he had a very angry face, he still held his head upright without the slightest shame, as if he was proud.
Gathered people’s gaze.
I could see his shoulders rising by an inch.
‘That’s that guy’s biggest weakness.’
Yuwon sighed at the sight of Thor like that.
Excessive sense of justice.
And my love for Asgard.
All of those things are great, but Thor had one serious drawback.
‘Sickness of interest.’
He craved their attention as much as he cared for his people.
And because of that, despite his high status as a prince, he made eye contact with them and received their enthusiastic support.
In the end, it was fortunate that the benefits outweighed the losses.
It was a little disappointing in the current situation.
“This guy is an idiot!”
“How rude is this to the prince!”
“Can’t I hurry up and apologize!”
Puck poop-.
puck-!
“Uh huh?”
Thor widened his eyes in confusion.
The citizens around him got angry at the shouting he had just heard and threw fruit and small objects they were holding at him.
An unexpected situation.
Yuwon glanced at Mimir.
‘Did you do this?’
‘There’s nothing we can do about it.’
In people’s eyes, Thor probably looks like a completely different person.
Mimir’s illusion did not just change Mimir’s appearance. Perhaps by now, in their eyes, Mimir looks like Thor, and Thor looks like a completely different person.
‘What on earth happened….’
And then.
“omg!”
When Thor saw Mimir in front of him again, Mimir’s original appearance appeared in his eyes.
“Uh uh uh…”
“Be quiet.”
A small whisper.
Thor, who made eye contact with Mimir, swallowed his saliva and nodded.
Odin’s only friend who awakens once every hundred years.
also.
The eldest adult in Asgard who changed Thor’s diaper when he was young was Mimir.
Jeopuk-.
Mimir took another step and opened his mouth.
“Know that you will be scolded when you return.”
“Yes…”
The answer was much quieter than before.
Thor and Yuwon’s eyes met. At the same time that Mimir’s original appearance was revealed, Yuwon’s original appearance was also revealed.
It had been a long time since we had reunited, but we did not say goodbye. Instead, Yuwon had to receive a look of resentment from Thor.
Thor is begging me to follow him.
Yuwon glanced at him and asked.
“How do you plan to find Kronos?”
Anyway, no one knows the story about Kronos.
Among countless crowds.
Mimir answered Yuwon’s question.
“Finding it is not the problem.”
“then?”
“The problem is who will deal with him.”
Jeopuk-.
Outside the royal castle.
A particularly large presence walked towards Mimir among the busy people.
If people cheered at Thor’s arrival, this time it was the opposite.
People cheering for Thor and people going their own way as if wondering what was going on.
Even the kids who didn’t know anything were talking loudly.
“Odin, you idiot.”
Jeopuk-.
When he came out, everyone quieted down and began to put their hands together.
“I guess some of my memories have come back.”
