Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 424
[Level Up with the Gods Episode 424]
* * *
Zeus looked up at the sky.
A clear sky without a single cloud in sight. The clouds behind it sparkled in the moonlight.
Sreuk-.
My closed eyes slowly opened.
It was as if he had made a promise.
The customer he had been waiting for came to see him.
“You’re here.”
Contrary to his soft tone, his eyelids were peeled and his eyes were full of hostility.
Pajikpaji-.
A golden electric current began to flow around Zeus.
Kwarung-!
Thunder rumbled in the clouds, and unseasonable showers poured down below.
Either that or not.
Zeus stood on the cloud. When I turned around, I saw someone standing with me in the sky where there was no one else.
“I thought he might come.”
A faceless guy with a robe over his head.
Stupid chaos.
He faced Zeus and put his hands together in greeting.
“As expected, you are above my head.”
“It’s gotten smaller.”
“Because this is the only thing I can come across right now.”
In the eyes of Zeus, foolish chaos looked as small and shabby as a dwarf. It was almost like a candle, as if it would disappear before our eyes with just a simple gesture, without creating a thunderbolt.
“But the assortment isn’t that bad, right? “I didn’t come here to fight anyway.”
“How long do you plan on hiding behind that fake appearance?”
“If I really come before you.”
Sigh-.
Foolish Chaos approached Zeus and stuck his head out.
“Are you confident you can handle it?”
“….”
Inside the black robe.
It might have seemed like it at first glance, but it wasn’t like that.
The face of foolish confusion was hidden under those robes, as if it were empty and empty inside.
Although it was within reach if I stretched out my hand.
“You’ll find out when you get there.”
“As expected, confidence is the best.”
“I wonder if it would float if I cut its mouth off and placed it in my water.”
“ha ha ha.”
A sense of foolish confusion passed by Zeus along with an awkward laugh.
“Is there something you wish for?”
“If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have waited to see you again.”
“this. It would be awkward to talk for a long time. “Then speak quickly.”
The two talked with their backs to each other.
As soon as Zeus finished speaking, foolish Chaos opened his mouth in a voice filled with laughter, as if he had expected that to happen.
“You or him. “You tell a very interesting story.”
“Him?”
Swish-.
Zeus turned and looked back at foolish chaos.
There is someone who told the same story as you. There was only one person that came to mind.
“Is it Kim Yu-won again?”
“I think you’ve become very close friends. “I see you calling my name so friendly.”
“I guess that’s right.”
“You care so much for the man who toppled you from the throne you once cherished so much. As expected, Seonggun twenty….”
Kwarung-!
The foolish words of confusion were drowned out by the sound of thunder.
In an instant, the foolish and chaotic body caught up in the bright lightning turned into steam and dispersed.
A single finger from Zeus.
It became difficult for the once incomplete alter ego to maintain its form any longer.
“Stop talking nonsense. “Tell me whether you will do it or not.”
“Of course we both have the same desires.”
“Are you saying you’ll agree?”
“That’s right.”
I received confirmation.
Then there was no more business.
Sigh-.
Zeus’s finger snapped once again.
Kwaung-!
The body of foolish chaos was covered in a halo of golden light.
“When you’re done talking, stop talking dirty and get out.”
“…What you do is similar.”
“Keep your promises.”
“No problem.”
Sssssssssssssssssssss-.
The foolish chaos that has no story to tell also no longer has any reason to maintain an alter ego.
“Would it be possible?”
And so the foolish chaos disappeared.
After that.
“There are a lot of guys who bother me when I try to get some rest.”
A new customer came without any reward for climbing up to the clouds.
“Thanks to you, I had a hard time finding it.”
chin-.
Yuwon stepped on the clouds and came up.
Zeus checked Yuwon’s feet to see how he was standing on the clouds like him.
White frozen clouds.
Thanks to this, Yuwon and Hercules, who came with him, were able to float on the clouds just like him.
“You found me?”
“okay.”
“Why? “If I wanted to say hello, I would have done it earlier, not now.”
“We’re not that friendly. “You two should say hello.”
Yuwon said that and looked back at Hercules. Hercules frowned and shook his head slightly, as if asking why he was saying such nonsense.
That moment when Yuwon and Hercules made eye contact.
“That guy went there.”
Zeus immediately got to the point.
No matter how much they held hands, Zeus had no intention of exchanging trivial greetings with Yuwon. He may have been a trustworthy comrade to fight with, but he was not yet a close friend.
Just a brief matter. It was what Yuwon also wanted.
“What did you talk about?”
“I heard you said the same thing.”
“…Then you too?”
Yuwon’s eyes narrowed.
I don’t know how many times the Zeus in front of me is re-evaluated.
How many people gathered together to plan this project?
It was an idea that even my colleagues came up with after thinking for a while. Moreover, I don’t know how many people worked together to review the plan and decide to implement it.
Zeus, on the other hand, was alone.
He was the only one who succeeded in coming up with a plan up to this point.
but.
“We had the same thoughts, but the timing was a little different.”
“You mean different?”
“I was thinking much further in the future.”
Saying that, Yuwon looked at the place where the foolish chaos had just disappeared.
“But it looks like that wasn’t the case.”
The deal with foolish chaos was established by having the same purpose.
However, there was no agreement until that process.
“Does this mean the schedule was suddenly moved forward?”
“okay.”
“Is it because of me?”
Yuwon shrugged his shoulders.
“Not necessarily. “If it weren’t for you, that guy would have acted the way he did anyway.”
With the same plan, foolish Chaos met Yuwon and Zeus separately.
I felt like I had a rough idea of what the intention was.
“But I guess they wanted to confuse me about when to start.”
Disruption of information at different times.
And the aggravation of damage through it.
The foolish chaos was intended to cause Yuwon and Zeus to know the time and prepare, but to deviate from each other.
“It means you failed.”
“okay.”
“Then what should I do? Should I delay the timing as you wish?”
Yuwon shook his head in response to Zeus’ question.
The future seen through foresight.
It didn’t occur to me right away that I could change the future with such shallow moves.
‘If you can’t change the future right now…’
Yuwon has one resolution.
“It goes as scheduled.”
If you can’t avoid it, you’ll hit it.
It was a straightforward theory, and Yuwon has always survived this way.
“Are you going to be okay?”
“Of course, we have to prepare to reduce the damage here.”
After saying that, Yuwon looked at Zeus with narrowed eyes.
Unlike himself, who thought about it later, Zeus was planning on seeing the showdown tomorrow.
That’s right.
“I’m sure you’re ready too, right?”
This meant that Zeus had prepared another move.
just as expected.
“there is.”
Zeus answered Yuwon’s words without hesitation.
I was curious.
What on earth did Zeus, who was trying to move ahead of himself, come up with?
And to Yuwon’s question:
“It’s this guy.”
Zeus gestured at Hercules, who was standing blankly to one side.
OK.
“…Hey?”
Yuwon made an unconvincing expression.
There was no explanation.
Zeus nodded as if he just knew that and then turned around.
“For now, mind your own brat. “Your face is half rotted.”
Yuwon’s face was considerably paler than usual, perhaps due to excessive use of Yejian.
In this condition, I was so tired the next day that I wondered if I would be able to fight properly.
“Something made me a little tired.”
“Are you okay?”
“You’ll be fine after a day’s sleep. “It’s just that I ran out of magic once.”
“If that’s the case.”
Zeus’ worries ended there.
His body slowly descended into the clouds. Now that I finished my business, there was no reason to stay here any longer.
“Then we’ll see you tomorrow at Hwahwa.”
“okay.”
Suuuu-.
Yuwon nodded, looking at Zeus slowly disappearing under the clouds.
“Tomorrow in unity.”
* * *
Meeeeeee-.
Mee- mee-e-.
Without fail, the cries of mountain goats could be heard in the forest.
Anyone who entered without permission would become deaf and crazy just by hearing the cries.
However, foolish Chaos kept walking, ignoring the gazes of the goats glaring at him.
Gooooo-.
In a black forest that swallows up even the light.
Inside, two purple eyes opened, emitting light.
A huge goat raising its head.
-I’m thinking about visiting here again.
The giant goat appeared without even a cry, blinking slowly as it looked down at the foolish chaos.
-Did you not heed the warning?
Foolish Chaos politely greeted Shub Nigurath’s threat with both hands together.
He was the king of this forest. Shub Niguras was an absolute presence in other places, but even more so in this forest.
“Don’t be so wary.”
-boundary? Do I mean you?
Meeeeeee-.
Mee me-.
As if it was funny, the other goats howled on behalf of Shub Nigguras. In response to the blatant ridicule, foolish Chaos smiled faintly under his robe.
“Weren’t you doing it?”
Point your finger at your own face.
Foolish Chaos spoke words that struck Shub Niguras’ heart.
“Ever since I got this name.”
Shub Nigurath was silent.
Foolish Chaos felt more anger in that silence than any other words.
Did I say something for no reason?
Shub Niguras raised his head and howled at the purple sky.
-Maaaaaa-.
Gugugugugu-.
It felt like my body was being crushed and broken. Foolish Chaos barely managed to hold on without bending his knees.
It was indeed Shub Nigurath, and indeed it was the Black Forest.
Here, just the sound of his crying changes the world.
-Why do you come to me and say things like that?
“I would like to ask you a favor.”
-ask? Are you talking to me?
“yes. Instead, when the work is done, I give you what you want.”
It was an unconventional proposal.
After hearing those words, only one thought came to Shub Niguras’ mind.
-You probably don’t know what I want, do you?
“yes. I know.”
Foolish Chaos bowed his head towards Shub Niguras.
Now is the time to bow your head.
“I will give you this name.”
-Name…
Shub Niguras’ voice trembled slightly.
Meeee-.
Meeeeeeeee-.
Meeeeeeeeeeeee-.
As if fitting in, the mountain goats of the Black Forest howled.
The goats are another aspect of Shub Niggurath.
Through their cries, Stupid Chaos could tell how passionate he had become.
And the foolish and confusing suggestion just now.
-good night.
It was an offer that Shub Nigguras could never refuse.
-I’ll hang out with you for a while.
