Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 370
[Level Up with God Episode 370]
* * *
Dozens of ships dotted the sky.
Each one was a huge warship that could accommodate hundreds or thousands of players.
“What a minister.”
Agni, a high ranker from Veda, stuck out his tongue at the sight that unfolded before his eyes.
He walked out onto the bow, his red hair flowing. As soon as I arrived at the first floor, the scenery that unfolded before my eyes was something that even I, a high ranker who had lived for thousands of years, had seen for the first time.
“I know. How many guilds are gathered?”
Jeopuk-.
A woman with brown hair came up behind Agni.
Kubera, another high ranker from Veda, looked up at the sky in wonder.
“If you include the small and medium-sized guilds that barely managed to get a ship, I think there are more than ten.”
“Were there this many guilds that were dissatisfied with the manager?”
“At least because of Asgard, only a small number of people gathered.”
“Well, an official letter came from Asgard.”
Asgard’s influence was strong.
A guild that is considered the strongest in this tower. Asgard was a force that no one could laugh at, even though it claimed to rule over the order of the tower itself.
Since an official letter was sent from Asgard not to cooperate with Poseidon, it is natural for guilds to be fearful.
of course.
“You guys are such cowards.”
Veda was not a guild that would be scared by such an official letter.
Agni laughed as he looked at the guilds spread out in front of him.
“No matter how Asgard it is, it can’t turn a guild like this into an enemy.”
Veda was one of the leading guilds among the large guilds.
Of course, if we went to war with Asgard right away, we wouldn’t be able to win, but at least we had enough power to not easily lose.
The same was true for other guilds here right now.
Even excluding small and medium-sized guilds, there are some guilds that have the influence to dominate one floor.
In addition, another large guild, the Zodiac, was also coming here.
Shoot ah-.
It was from then on that the flow of magical power changed.
The magic power flowing in the air began to flow in a certain direction. The movement of magical power became faster, like the rapid water of a bright blue river.
‘what?’
Something was unusual.
Agni was a high ranker who ruled this tower for thousands of years. The ranking is 191st. That meant that in a single world, there could be no more than two people with a higher influence than Agni.
And Agni’s sense was telling me that.
Just because the current is weak does not mean the sea is small.
That was exactly the magic I was feeling right now.
“Agni.”
And Kubera also felt more than that.
“Hey…”
“Okay.”
gulp-.
Sweat ran down Agni’s forehead and dried saliva rolled down his face.
“I know.”
A face clearly visible from far away, as if looking through a telescope.
Odin was holding Gungnir in his hand.
“Gunggnir is coming! “Get ready!”
“Gunggnierda-!”
Veda’s rankers began preparing for defense.
Agni’s flame spread and the ground rose due to Kubera’s magic, creating a wall.
Other guild ships also noticed Odin’s presence.
“Stop it!”
Hundreds of thousands of rankers began to demonstrate their individual skills.
The rocks came together and an intangible curtain appeared in the air.
Magical powers of all kinds, such as fire, water, and wind, blocked one direction.
Only one.
It was to block Odin’s spear, Gungnir.
Pajit Pajigi-.
Magical power that shakes violently.
But Agni was not worried.
‘I’ve heard many rumors about Gungnir, but he is alone.’
Most of the people here are players from the highest level.
And among them were tens of thousands of rankers and dozens of high rankers.
Can an individual break through the defense created by the combined strength of this many people?
I dare say that even if he were a god, it would be impossible.
‘Still, I’m glad.’
Paget Paget-.
Odin’s body bent and assumed a javelin throwing stance.
‘Because I can’t see any other Asgardian rankers.’
And just like that, the moment Odin was ready to throw the javelin.
Kwa-reung-kwa-reung-!
The form of Gungnir in Odin’s hand began to change.
[‘Gungnir’ starts up.]
A message that appears in the minds of everyone watching Gungnir.
The message was enough to upset hundreds of thousands of players.
“uh?”
“What is it?”
“It hasn’t started yet?”
The surprise was short-lived.
Gungnir started to fly, devouring all the magic power in the world.
Flash!
* * *
Kwauuuuu-!
A line embroidered on the sky.
And Odin stepped onto the wreckage of the ship that fell below.
“A large number is not everything.”
Jeopuk-.
Among the fallen rankers.
“A defense that is not properly put together is no different from a shabby house that blows away when the wind blows.”
Grumbling-.
Toduk, toad, toad –.
Odin looked at the pillar of fire and the giant golem made of rock that rose up before his eyes.
“Is it Agni and Kubera? “As expected, you survived.”
Odin, who threw Gungnir, was empty-handed.
However, Agni and Kubera could not easily approach him.
Knock-.
Blood flowed from Agni’s shoulder and fell to the floor.
The giant rock golem summoned by Kubera was also significantly smaller than the size she could originally create.
It was an aftereffect of the wounds suffered while blocking Gungnir.
Glancing-.
Agni looked at the wreckage of the ships on the ground and the rankers who began to stagger to their feet.
Most of those caught in Gungnir’s reach disappeared without a trace or died instantly.
It almost makes me wonder if being alive like this in itself is a miracle.
‘20% of the force was lost in one blow.’
Gungnir.
I’ve heard the name a lot.
This is the strongest spear in the tower, and is said to have enough power to fly beyond one floor and pierce the tower.
Even though rumors tend to be exaggerated, I thought it was too extreme.
But that wasn’t it.
‘I can’t believe it was this bad….’
There was a story that was known as established theory among rankers.
The difference in skill between the top high rankers is not that big.
Their rankings are only based on power and achievements, and their skills are only a page apart.
And Agni completely agreed with that idea.
Even though Kubera, who was right next to him, was ranked lower than him, their wins and losses often depended on their condition.
I thought there would be no difference just because it was Odin.
however.
‘It was a monster.’
This was beyond my imagination.
In a single blow, it swept away more than a few rankers and tens of thousands of players.
I was almost thrilled.
“It would have been nice to have used that power for our players.”
Agni’s voice gained strength.
What would it have been like if the monster in front of them had been next to them?
I thought there was nothing more reassuring than that.
of course.
“For the sake of the players…”
From Odin’s point of view, these were unthinkable words.
“Managers are our enemies. “It sounds like you’re saying that.”
“Isn’t it?”
“What they want is order and balance.”
“For what is order and balance? “What good does that do for us?”
Wow-.
Agni tightened his hands.
“Isn’t that the case right now? Even though we are at the bottom of this tower, the penalty is gone.”
penalty.
Constraints that constrain the power of players in the upper tiers.
In the world of the first floor, those restrictions disappeared with the death of the manager. The rankers who came down felt a lightness no different from that of the upper stairs.
It felt like I had actually encountered their own world.
But as expected, Odin could not accept that opinion.
“Because they are no help, I will kill them and take away the power they had. “Is this what you mean?”
“It’s not like that-.”
Agni kept his mouth shut.
It was because I had nothing to say. What he said wasn’t really wrong.
A world ruled by managers.
The guild’s desire to share the authority of that world among itself.
It was clear that that was the core of this fight.
“There is no need for further argument.”
Grumbling-.
Agni’s flame was the signal.
The surviving Vedic rankers began to surround Odin.
“After using Gungnir, you are no longer scary.”
Gungnir starts once. It took quite a long time and a lot of horsepower to start it up again.
Even though it is ranked 2nd, that is because it contains Gungnir, the symbol of Odin.
Odin had already used Gungnir, and they still had over a thousand rankers.
Asgard was a gateway that must be passed in order to surpass the Administrator.
Because, like the administrators, they were a representative guild that governed the laws and order of the tower.
If so, here.
Now was the opportunity for Odin to use Gungnir from the beginning.
“Today will be remembered as the day the throne of Asgard changed hands.”
Agni’s hostility that does not disappear.
No matter how much the power of Gungnir was weakened by breaking through the defenses and destroying the ship, Odin sighed as he saw the rankers of various guilds still trying to fight back.
“It looks like I took a long break.”
I wanted to make him step down with the least amount of sacrifice possible.
“It’s amazing to see all these little ones sticking together.”
* * *
Kwasik-!
Yuwon’s foot hit the remaining ranker’s head.
The surrounding area was filled with the corpses of fallen Zodiac rankers and players. Yuwon let out a long, tired breath.
“Whoa-.”
Although I said I was in a hurry, it took longer than expected.
This was because there were a lot of them and they were systematic.
“The other guys…”
I looked around with Hwaan Geumjeong just in case, but there didn’t seem to be anyone hiding and preparing for a surprise attack.
It was one of two things.
Either he’s lying here somewhere, or he gave up the fight and ran away.
“Finished.”
With this, the remaining small items have been cleaned up.
I had to get another ride.
I had something in mind.
This is why I know money.
I had to earn points.
“Hey, errands….”
The world of the 4th floor.
The moment I was about to call an errand boy working in that world.
Tick-.
“A trickster…?”
Yuwon’s eyes widened.
With that thought in mind, Yuwon stopped looking for the errand boy and hurriedly searched through his inventory.
It was an item that I had forgotten about for a long time because it was buried somewhere deep at the beginning. I had no particular use for it, but I couldn’t bear to throw it away.
As I searched through my inventory, the sound I had heard at first became clearer.
Tick, tick, tick.
The item I wanted was at my fingertips.
Sigh-.
I was startled as my hands gained strength without me even realizing it. Yuwon was so shocked that, unlike usual, he was unable to control such a small amount of force.
Take your hand out of your inventory.
Yuwon checked the broken watch he took out from inside.
And that moment.
“Ha…”
Something similar to a laugh came out of Yuwon’s mouth.
It was real.
Tick-.
The second hand starts to move.
It was certain.
The clockwork that had stopped started working again.
