Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 383

[Level Up with the Gods Episode 383]

* * *

Goku looked at the teeth behind his back with a bewildered expression.

It was prepared to pierce Goku’s neck at any time.

If Goku hadn’t noticed and had taken the egg into his mouth, he would probably have tried to chew it up.

“Try to put this away.”

“Before that, let go of the egg first.”

“Oh right.”

Goku glanced at the egg located close to his mouth.

If it was original, it should have been cleaned up right away.

Son Goku curled up the corner of his mouth, perhaps out of amusement.

“…?”

Yoo Won looks at Son Goku’s expression with a puzzled expression.

Sigh-.

Goku gently took the egg out of his mouth and then returned it to its original state.

Wiggle wiggle-.

Behind Goku’s back, he could see the predator’s teeth twitching slightly.

If Son Goku threatens the egg at any time, it is ready to bite, but since Son Goku does not take his hand off the egg, it is unable to do this or that.

Swoosh- Swoosh-.

Goku brought the egg close to his mouth and then moved it away again.

The predator could neither do this nor that. Yuwon ended up laughing at the continued jokes.

“Stop it now.”

“Isn’t it fun?”

Even when told to stop, Son Goku did not stop.

but.

If Goku were just a little more intelligent and knew how to listen to others, his ranking would probably have risen at least one or two levels.

“Don’t be like that. I don’t think he knows what to do either. And then it can be really dangerous.”

“If you get hurt, why don’t you lie down next to that old man for a while?”

“Didn’t you see it? That’s what happened to Shub Niggurath.”

“Shub Nigguras…”

An image of a predator biting the back of Shub Niguras’ neck appeared in Goku’s mind.

I glanced over and saw that it was still behind Goku with its mouth open.

I felt a strange sense of foolishness as someone seemed to be watching me, but the predator was clearly a dangerous being.

Sigh-.

In the end, Goku carefully placed the egg back on the table. The predator watched Goku’s actions for a moment and then quietly disappeared again.

A brief happening.

Still, thanks to this, I was able to understand one thing.

‘It’s not that threatening as long as you don’t touch the eggs.’

The moment when Goku touches the egg and he accidentally tries to eat it.

The predator did not attack Son Goku until the last moment, but kept an eye on Yuwon.

There is one reason.

This was because Son Goku was Yuwon’s colleague.

‘First of all, it’s friendly.’

When I first got the egg.

Yuwon once swung a knife at Al in a threatening manner.

This was because he had to stop hatching the egg in case it attacked him.

But fortunately, Al was kind to Yuwon.

The same was true for autumn leaves.

And the same was true for the newly transformed egg, which was larger than the first one.

‘First of all…’

Yuwon looked down at Al.

suddenly.

I remembered the day I blocked Shub Niguras.

* * *

Black Forest.

In it, the autumn leaves approached Shub Nigguras, who raised his head.

Total Total -.

The steps were light. Just like always.

However, Yuwon did not dare to follow behind him.

Kaaaaaa-!

I felt a huge, indiscernible force from the round back of the autumn leaves, which was the same as usual.

What the heck.

It was at that time that a predator appeared, covering Shub Niguras’ body.

Predators have also been seen many times by Yuwon.

His presence did not come as much of a surprise to Yuwon.

but.

‘What the heck is that…’

Ujikkeun-.

Quad quaddddd-.

The size of the predator devouring Shub Nigguras’ body was a world away from anything Yuwon had ever known.

Not Shub Niguras.

A huge mouth swallowing the entire black forest.

Even though he could have easily resisted, Shub Nigguras did not do anything, as if what was happening was natural.

quaddddd-.

A predator devouring the black forest.

And while looking at the autumn leaves in front of him dealing with that predator, Shub Niguras said.

-An amorphous being that endlessly repeats destruction and creation.

-Now he will find his form and appear before us…

-I hope you will take away your teeth from us.

Goats of the Black Forest.

The mother of all things closed her purple sparkling eyes.

In the black forest where I was taken by Shub Niguras.

Kwasik-!

Yu-won learned about the true nature of autumn leaves.

* * *

‘An amorphous being that has found its form…’

All Outer Gods had nicknames that replaced their real names.

To be precise, it was a fake name created by the top players.

I couldn’t bear the name of the Outer Gods, so I created a name by borrowing their characteristics and symbols.

However, what Shub Nigguras said was like explaining a certain Outer God.

“I think I picked up something amazing.”

Yuwon shook his head at Son Goku’s words while looking at the egg.

“It’s closer to something I grew rather than something I picked up.”

“Can you be the father?”

“We are raising them with a similar mindset.”

“What doesn’t suit you?”

“Umm….”

A groan was heard during the conversation.

Yuwon and Son Goku’s heads turned at the same time.

Closed visit.

Yuwon got up from his seat and opened the door.

Kiyi-.

When the door opened, I saw Kronos slowly opening his eyes in the bed on one side of the wall.

Little by little, his dazed eyes began to come into focus, and Kronos’ consciousness slowly returned.

“mister.”

“Hey old man. Are you out of your mind?”

The titles were different.

However, Kronos responded to both men’s calls.

“What year is this…?”

“What year is it suddenly? “Have you gone senile?”

“Twelve thousand and twenty years old.”

At Yuwon’s answer, Son Goku looked back at him.

An answer without any doubts.

And in response, Kronos muttered the same words repeatedly in his mouth.

“Twelve thousand, twenty-two thousand, twenty years…”

I must have muttered the same words about ten times.

Yuwon opened his mouth.

“If you have anything to say, say it. “Whatever it is.”

No matter what is said, it is better than continuing to listen to the year.

If you’re going to mutter the same thing non-stop instead of calming down, it would be better to at least say what’s on your mind.

Kronos’ mouth stopped for a moment.

Soon another word came out of his mouth.

“I traveled through time.”

Time travel.

We are not simply talking about regression using clockwork.

Yuwon saw several people with the same face through his eyes.

“I met many ‘me’s.” “Living many lives in many worlds.”

He was not the Kronos he was a few days ago. Through Clockwork, he became a collection of numerous Chronos and became one.

Various futures, pasts, and even present.

Kronos went through many experiences and found one thing in common.

Sigh-.

Eyelids that close and open slowly, as if sleepy.

Eyes that moved with difficulty looked at Yuwon and Son Goku, and a cracked voice came out with difficulty.

“You are in my future.”

Yuwon and Son Goku.

Kronos saw and experienced the two people and other colleagues through various time periods.

“Everyone did that except me. “They all fought with Outer.”

“Why only here?”

Yuwon answered Son Goku’s question.

“I guess it’s because of us.”

we.

Two people who returned to the past using clockwork.

The fact that Kronos was banished outside the tower and forgotten by everyone was a side effect of that and the cost of breaking the tower’s laws.

“No, it’s probably because of me. “You came in exchange for Mimir’s eyes.”

“It’s not about who is responsible. “I’m saying I didn’t know myself.”

Second sacrifice.

Kronos’ barely opened eyes turned an earthy color. He was already well past his lifespan.

It’s just that I’m holding on with the physical and mental strength of a high ranker that I’ve trained for a long time.

Puzzle-.

Yuwon gritted his teeth without an expression. I clenched my fists so hard that my nails dug into them.

Kronos opened his mouth at Yuwon’s reaction.

“This was my choice and it is just the result. So don’t be sorry.”

“I actually knew.”

Kronos’ time was finite.

I knew this was what would happen if he spent all his time.

I really hoped it wouldn’t end up like this, but I thought it couldn’t be helped.

“…But the worst thing was that he fell.”

What would have happened if Shub Nigguras had crossed over?

Not only Yuwon, but also Son Goku, Odin, Kronos, and tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of players may have died.

Shub Niguras was such a being.

Worse than any disaster that humans can think of. A god with incomprehensible power.

Yuwon could only think of a way to stop this guy.

There was no other way.

Once Shub Nigguras crosses the wall, it will be a time that cannot be undone even by Kronos’s power.

“So I handed it over to you. “I knew it would end up like this…”

“You’ve been like that for a long time. Save some time. “It’s more precious than gold.”

Yuwon’s eyes wavered.

Yuwon had definitely said something like that. And that too many, many times.

But that wasn’t the case, at least not in this timeline.

A very distant future.

So, that was after the fight with Outer started.

“Save your time, man. “Then I will hear my real grandfather.”

“How many times have you said that?”

“I’ve only done it a few times.”

“I remember more than 10 times. Where should I turn? “How many times have I said it?”

“It’s been less than a minute since I told him to save his time.”

The words that were always nagging.

Still, the words weren’t enough.

Kronos was mentioning those words now.

“I know you’ll be sorry. “I didn’t just do it to make you feel comfortable.”

Rattling-.

The closed door was reopened.

Son Goku, who couldn’t hear anything, went outside. When a scream that was almost like a scream was heard, Kronos smiled slightly.

“That guy looks pretty pissed too.”

Passsss-.

Kronos’ skin dried and twisted. Kronos continued to speak, with a face similar to that of a mummy and eyes that had lost all focus.

“Do you remember? “The day you first used clockwork.”

A difficult voice flowed from a parched mouth.

Even though his voice began to crack little by little, Kronos’ speech did not slow down at all.

instead.

Yuwon did not answer.

Even that short time to answer was now more precious to him than a thousand gold.

“I planned to fight them that day, risking my life. But no matter what, he didn’t die as a result. So nothing has changed.”

I tried to die, but I didn’t die.

If he had come back to life, he would have wanted to live again, but Kronos chose to die again.

That was his choice.

“This is just an extension of that time.”
