Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 376
[Level Up with God Episode 376]
* * *
Among about 20 people.
Familiar faces were having a conversation.
“Is this really the last time?”
“I didn’t think about saying goodbye like this.”
“That’s right. “It will end one way or another…”
Hercules, the Olympian hero known as the slayer of giants.
Son Goku, a traitor to the heavens and a high ranker with the high reputation of Jecheon Daeseong.
Brunnhilde, the head of the Valkyries who leads the war of Guild Asgard.
Besides that, all of them were well-known high rankers.
“What are you ruining? “It’s not over yet.”
While everyone is in despair.
There was only one who still had courage.
Jecheon Daeseong.
Hercules answered the words of the man who was completely injured with wounds all over his body.
“You speak well on a subject that is all dying.”
Hercules was also not in good condition.
He, too, had one of his arms fallen off and his face had turned white.
What on earth happened?
Kronos’ eyes turned to the old man sitting on one side with his eyes closed.
You look noticeably older than before.
‘I… am I.’
A noisy Son Goku and Hercules. While each person fought with pessimism and fighting spirit, his future self closed his eyes and watched.
As if waiting for something.
Jeopuk-.
It was then.
Yuwon, looking haggard, appeared.
Hwiik-.
Cheolpuk-.
A pure white lump appeared from nowhere.
Goku and Hercules, who were growling at each other, turned their gaze to Yuwon.
“You’re back.”
“I thought I was going to die.”
Yuwon, who sat down on the chair with difficulty, lowered his head.
As he spoke about the deaths of other colleagues, the room became solemn.
Right after that.
“Who is this guy?”
“Foolish chaos.”
“what?”
An incredible conversation came to Kronos’ ears.
‘He… died?’
I couldn’t believe it.
Stupid chaos.
Kronos saw his essence closer than anyone else. It was difficult to even imagine him dying, let alone winning.
And everyone thought the same thing.
It was then.
Future Kronos, who was sitting in a corner with his eyes closed, woke up.
“You can’t win. “For now.”
A clockwork held in the hand of Kronos.
He answered Yuwon, who asked for another way, with a negative look.
“Go back to the old world line. And start again.”
“Is that really possible? “It wasn’t just theory…”
It was impossible.
At least the current Kronos was sure of that.
of course.
It wasn’t that there was no way.
“I wouldn’t have been able to do it alone. Mimir and Odin helped.”
If you can’t do it alone, then together.
If two people can’t do it, three people can do it.
Time is much more complicated and delicate than we thought, so intervening in another timeline on our own was virtually impossible.
But even if that were the case.
It was difficult to believe that he, who was already old and decrepit, had the ability to do so.
‘No way…’
It started from then.
Kronos began to anticipate the next scene in his head.
just as expected.
“I will probably be gone on the world line you returned to. “It is the only way to turn back time and twist the world line, and it is a worthy price.”
After all, this was the only way.
To squeeze out any remaining power and pay the price for intervening in another timeline.
“It’s a lie…”
It was hard to believe.
And that foolish chaos is dead.
That he made this choice for them.
It was still too difficult to believe in this short moment.
“ha-.”
Yuwon sighed as he saw Kronos denying what he had seen with his own eyes.
I thought it would be like this.
Yuwon put his hand into his inventory.
It was an item that had been sitting in my inventory for a long time.
Lately, I feel like I’ve been bringing it up often.
Tick-.
A broken-looking clock that is still moving without stopping.
Clockwork.
The moment he discovered it, Kronos couldn’t help but believe it.
Kronos stretched out his hand toward the clockwork as if possessed by something.
That moment when I hold the clockwork in my hand again.
Tick, tick, tick.
Hwaaaaa!
The memories of him that remained in the clockwork came into Kronos’ mind like a strong wave.
‘If you want to use Clockwork to intervene in the Tower’s laws, you have to bear an excessive penalty.’
‘If that happens…’
‘Maybe I’ll end up in the same situation as them.’
Expulsion from the tower.
Will the result be death or will I end up like those foreign media?
Kronos had been making up his mind for quite some time.
“…It was real.”
It had already been used anyway, so the remaining magic power was nothing more than a thin lump of scrap metal.
Kronos could feel the magic power of himself and Odin Mimir contained within it.
Your own object from the future.
There was no evidence that gave more weight to Yuwon’s words than that.
Tsutsutsu-.
Soon after, the scenery seen by the two people through Hwaan Geumjeong disappeared and the original world appeared.
Kronos, who came out of the past, had a somewhat blank expression on his face.
Sigh-.
Dalgak-.
Yuwon retrieved the clockwork from Kronos’ hand.
Yuwon continued speaking again as he put it back into his inventory.
“Twisting a world line and intervening in another world line is different from simply intervening in the lower level. “Out of all of us, you and Mimir Odin knew that best.”
The three of them were the ones who created the clockwork themselves.
Of course, he would be most knowledgeable about its side effects.
And especially among them.
“Especially you.”
Kronos was the person who contributed most to operating the clockwork.
From the completion of the clockwork to its use, the process was very hasty. Therefore, Yuwon could not properly think about what would happen to Kronos by using it.
That’s why Yuwon wanted to know.
“Let me ask you one question, mister. “Did you really not know this would happen?”
Did Kronos really expect this result?
As a reward for breaking the tower’s laws, they disappear from existence, are expelled from the tower, and are thrown outside the world line.
Did he really not know that he would be forgotten by everyone?
The Kronos in front of him was different from the Kronos Yuwon knew.
But I don’t know.
Yuwon didn’t think he would have anticipated this result when he first designed Clockwork with Odin.
“Slow down and think carefully.”
Sigh-.
There was no need for any more persuasion.
Yuwon passed by Kronos and tapped his shoulder.
“What do you really want?”
“….”
Kronos, who was left alone, seemed to be deep in thought.
Where did the difference come from?
Was it really his own choice to end up like this?
And –
where should I be from now on?
‘It must be confusing.’
Before meeting Kronos for the first time.
Yuwon was planning to do nothing boldly if he was completely outside.
That’s why he contacted Zeus first, and if they really couldn’t communicate, he was even thinking of using him as food for a predator as a last resort.
However, Kronos was now in an in-between state, belonging nowhere.
So, there was still a possibility that he would return.
‘This is all I can do for you.’
From now on, it was up to Kronos’ choice.
The moment when Yuwon passed by Kronos.
-Me-ah-.
Far away.
A type of crying that shouldn’t be heard was heard.
And the moment you hear it.
Ji-ing-.
Yuwon’s head hurt like it was going to explode.
“Crazy….”
Strongly.
I was hoping something like this wouldn’t happen.
Yuwon turned his head and looked beyond the collapsed wall in the distance.
“…Fucked.”
* * *
The mother of the goats howled beyond the wall.
dump-.
Jureuk-.
The rankers who were fighting the mountain goats sat down one by one and fell unconscious.
“Why all of a sudden…”
Slurp-.
There was a difference in time, but most people lost consciousness and fell down.
Meeee-.
Meeeeeee-.
The mountain goats turned around.
Cubs responding to their mother’s cries.
The rankers who were still conscious muttered as they watched the goats returning to where they came from.
“Are you running away?”
“Okay, you idiots. “Where…”
My body was shaking, but my mouth was still open.
The rankers, whose lives were on the line, sighed with relief that they were alive and were saddened by the deaths of their colleagues.
But even for a moment.
“It’s a mountain beyond a mountain.”
Agni, a high ranker of the Vedas, swept back his hair that had become a mess from the fight with the mountain goats.
Meeeeeee-.
Mountain goats running towards the wall.
At the sound of the goat mother’s cries, Agni lost consciousness for a moment and almost fell.
That cry had a lot of power.
I heard it with my ears, but I couldn’t understand it or hear it clearly. The number of rankers who fell unconscious due to that single cry exceeded a thousand.
A being that can defeat a thousand rankers just by howling.
I had never even dared to think that such a thing existed.
Wow-.
Me-.
Odin grabbed the horn of a mountain goat.
The goat wanted to go outside with him, but he was caught by Odin’s cruel grip and couldn’t do so.
Of course, Odin was not interested in the mountain goat that was already in his hands.
Odin’s interest has always been about beings out there from the beginning.
“Are you coming?”
A being bigger and greater than all these mountain goats combined.
As long as he was around, it was difficult to say that this fight was over.
That was why.
Until now, Odin had not used Gungnir.
but.
Now I could no longer just cherish Gungnir.
Wow-.
Odin held Gungnir in one hand.
I prepared my javelin so that I could start it at any time and looked at the back of the mountain goats moving away.
And it was the same for Zeus.
“What happened to your father?”
Jeopuk-.
Zeus asked Yuwon approaching from behind.
Yuwon, like Zeus, answered while looking at the Great Mother from outside.
“The story is roughly over. Now he will choose.”
“okay?”
Although he is said to be his father, it was only recently that Zeus remembered Cronus.
Even that was just a fragmentary memory and the bond between father and son did not survive.
instead.
Zeus’s interests lay somewhere else entirely.
“Then now that guy is the only one left.”
It was Zeus who had entrusted Kronos with him to kill the goats. However, his attention had long been focused on the goats of the Black Forest outside.
It’s already been a while since the guy’s eyes started shining when he looked at me.
However, simply shining his eyes and starting to influence this area through his cries were completely different things.
“We need to prevent them from coming in as much as possible.”
-Ma-ah-.
The sound of crying got closer.
Meeting this guy wasn’t something Yuwon had planned.
“Because the moment you come in, it will really be over.”
Wiggle-.
The goat of the black forest began to appear through a crack that was too small compared to its size.
