Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 433
[Level Up with the Gods Episode 433]
* * *
In a dazed mood, Shiva had an expression on his face as if time had stopped.
I don’t know what kind of situation this is. I wonder how Vishnu and Brahma, who must have lost their minds, are awake.
“What?”
The mouth is opened unnaturally, as if the jaw has fallen out.
Vishnu and Brahma woke up and looked at Shiva with the same eyes.
“I believed we were one.”
“I guess everyone is thinking the same thing.”
Brahma naturally takes over Vishnu’s words, as if one person were talking.
“But it wasn’t.”
“Why did you do that?”
The moment when three people become one.
Shiva’s darkness swallowed up Vishnu and Brahma. The minds of Brahma and Vishnu were sucked deep into the darkness, as if they had been preparing for it for a long time.
If I hadn’t come to my senses after listening to Yuwon’s words.
If only I had completely believed in Shiva and not tried to resist it.
By now, the minds of the two people might have been completely eaten by Shiva.
‘I thought it was my space….’
Saaaa-.
The hazy smoke that had been blooming in the dark space cleared away.
A blue sky appeared in the world where they stood, and a clear river flowed beneath the ground.
Shiva’s world changed.
‘That wasn’t it.’
This world has already ceased to be mine.
From the moment Vishnu and Brahma slowly came to their senses.
This world belonged to all three of them.
Wow-.
Shiva’s hand holding the sickle gained strength.
The idea of consuming the minds of two other people and becoming one completely went awry.
Vishnu and Brahma did not believe in Shiva. Thanks to this, the moment Shiva’s darkness consumed them, they were able to resist it and regain their full spirit.
The reason why was so obvious.
Shiba glared at Yuwon.
‘It’s because of that guy.’
Yuwon did only two things.
Vishnu and Brahma.
Planting doubts about Shiva in the minds of both people.
And to protect the two people here for a while so that Shiva’s darkness cannot forcibly consume their minds.
It wasn’t that difficult.
“After all, rankings can’t be trusted, right?”
Shiva’s pupils, who had been frowning at Yuwon’s words as if wondering what he was talking about, widened.
It was just the day before.
This was what Diablo, who was in the same place as Yuwon and Shiva, said.
“You are nothing without those two.”
Three people who were one.
But the smallest part of all was Shiva.
Yuwon’s words touched Shiva’s disgust.
Jiiiing-.
In an instant, the space where Yuwon and Shiva stood was distorted. The distance between Shiva and Yuwon was narrowed through techniques such as Chukjibeop.
And that moment.
“When the distance gets closer-.”
Sigh-.
Shiva felt a sharp, hot sensation penetrating his chest and shoulders.
“How did you think you could win?”
Sigh-!
“…!”
A long scar extending from the chest to the shoulder.
Shiva raised his hand and touched his shoulder. I don’t know when the knife started digging in.
No, rather than that.
‘How would you react…’
Shiva turned his head and looked at Yuwon, who was standing behind him.
And the moment our eyes met.
‘golden yellow?’
Shiva was able to find Yuwon with eyes other than those of Hwaan Geumjeong.
Eyes sparkling gold. There was a sense of mystery in it that was one level higher than Hwaan Geumjeong.
Precognitive eye.
Eyes that insight into the desired future.
“The fact that the distance is narrowing is the same for you and me.”
If he didn’t know, there was no reason for Yuwon not to use Foresight as long as he knew the existence of the skill.
“I wondered when I would use it. “That skill.”
The day before.
Yuwon saw Diablo and Shiva colliding.
To subdue Diablo, Shiva used a skill to fold space using darkness, and Yuwon was able to know the skill he had in advance.
If you know what kind of skills you have.
And if that’s a skill in the same vein as Chukjibeop, which instantly narrows the distance.
It wasn’t that difficult to use the narrowed distance in the opposite direction.
Jeopuk-.
Vishnu approached Shiva.
He faced him with his usual soft voice.
“Why did you do that?”
“….”
Stopping the blood flowing from his shoulder with his hand, Shiva glared into Vishnu’s eyes.
OK.
Wow!
A hand as small as a fern struck the back of Shiva’s head. Brahma could not bear it anymore and hit Shiva on the head.
“What did you do well, Mr. Kwak?”
Papdeuk-.
Shiva gritted his teeth and raised his head again. Instead of Brahma hitting his head, he saw Vishnu doing nothing.
And then.
“Because…”
“what?”
“Because you… are real.”
He continued speaking in a low voice, as if he was crawling.
“I thought about it for a long time. Which of us is real? “What would it have been like for us to be one?”
Shiva’s eyes were filled with resentment.
“To find out, I went back to where we were. Somewhere in this wide tower, under the skyless ceiling. “That place.”
“So… did you find it?”
“found. Actually, I didn’t have high expectations. “It was just curiosity and a useless obsession.”
The true self that has become one.
At first, I was just curious about it.
“It was only then that I realized. “We were originally one, but we were not one.”
“What are you saying?”
“We just got away from you.”
Vishnu’s eyes wavered.
All three of them had no memory of the time when they were one. I thought that the memories of that time would probably come back only after we became one.
“Do you know why out of the three of us, only your ranking is so high? Have you ever really thought it was strange?”
At Shiva’s words, Brahma’s eyes turned to Vishnu.
Now that I think about it, it was strange.
It was clearly three people divided from one, but their rankings were different.
Brahma was the least active, followed by Shiva.
However, Vishnu’s ranking was particularly high compared to those three.
3rd place.
The seat right next to Odin.
Therefore, most of the rankers said that Vishnu’s ranking, which did not show much activity or ability, was a bubble.
however.
“The management bureau knew. “We are nothing more than fragments that fell from you, Vishnu.”
The truth was a little different.
In the first place, they were not three divided from one.
It was just ‘two’ derived from one.
“Do you understand now, Brahma?”
Shiva grinned and frowned at Brahma.
“We are not one. Just getting eaten by that bastard….”
“That’s a lot of dirty talk.”
Back-up -.
Brahma picked his ears.
As if I heard something I couldn’t hear.
Perhaps because this was an unexpected reaction, Shiva looked blank for a moment.
OK.
“that’s right. “That’s the only vessel you’ve had since long ago.”
Brahma denied Shiva’s ideas that had persisted for ten thousand years.
“The two of us came from Vishnu? So what is it? “At least I should understand?”
“of course-!”
“Of course you thought so. I don’t want to disappear. So what? “Are you feeling unfair?”
Googoo coogu coo-.
Shiva’s knees buckled.
A feeling of weight weighing down the body. The power radiating from Brahma’s small body overwhelmed Shiva.
“What you’re saying is that you tried to take something that wasn’t yours in the first place.”
“Ugh…”
There was blood in my mouth and it tasted fishy. At the moment when he was about to rush at Brahma out of frustration, a sharp knife came to the side of his neck.
“Stay still.”
Yuwon’s sword.
When on earth did the tip of the knife come this far? Shiva’s eyes wavered.
I think it’s really over now.
Slurp-.
The strength supporting his legs loosened and Shiva fell to his knees.
“Tsk.”
Yuwon looked at Shiva as if he was pitiful.
This guy was also a side of Vishnu.
‘but.’
Yuwon’s gaze turned to Vishnu, whose face was still calm and emotionless.
‘No matter how clean a person is, there is always a dark side to them.’
When Vishnu, who was one, created the other two, he wanted to make each of them friends and brothers with different sides.
“Brahma was an innocent friend like a child. “That’s why I didn’t grow taller.”
Vishnu became one.
It was his story about another side of himself.
“Shiba was my shadow.”
“shadow?”
“Everyone has an evil side. Me too. Shiva was like that.”
“I’m not sure.”
“Because not everyone who has an evil side reveals it. Just as everyone has a bad side, everyone also has a good side. “It just looks different depending on which one is bigger.”
Even at that time, it was difficult to fully understand what he was saying.
But now, seeing it with my own eyes, I felt like I knew it.
‘The smallest and most insignificant.’
Shiva was small compared to Vishnu and Brahma. It meant that the size of his presence felt rather than his size was small.
Everyone lives with various aspects, but not all aspects are the same size.
Because there is no such thing as a perfect square person.
And among them, Shiva was the smallest aspect of Vishnu.
“What do you plan to do now?”
Yuwon withdrew his attention from Shiva and looked at Vishnu and Brahma.
Once the two people came to their senses, there would be no more trouble from Shiva. All the darkness that Shiva had prepared had already disappeared, and he was much smaller than the two of them.
Now there was no longer any room for Yuwon to intervene.
And the answer to Yuwon’s question was already decided.
“Things went a little wrong, but….”
“We have to become one again.”
The opponent was Shub Niguras.
Originally, he was someone I should have met and dealt with much later.
Fortunately or unfortunately, Shub Niguras entered the tower alone.
And Vishnu’s power was needed to stop him.
The power of the greatest being in this tower.
“okay. “Then please hurry.”
“you? “What do you plan to do now?”
“Are you going to go fight right away?”
Yuwon shook his head in response to Vishnu and Brahma’s questions.
“Not immediately.”
“then?”
“I have one more thing to do.”
With those words, Yuwon removed the sword that was aimed at Shiva’s neck.
“Let’s talk about the details later. “If we were all still alive then.”
Vishnu and Brahma nodded as they saw the sight of Yuwon slowly fading away.
That was correct.
Now was not the time for leisurely conversation. Even at this moment, the fight with Shub Nigguras was in full swing outside.
Yuwon looked at the three devas, including Shiva, who had a despairing face.
‘With this, the first condition is completion.’
One of the conditions for catching Shub Niguras.
The existence of Vishnu who has become completely one.
With this, one of the conditions has now been met.
And now.
‘I’m sorry for forcing you to wake up, but…’
[‘?’s egg’ is silent.]
An egg with autumn leaves sleeping.
Yuwon, who had been quietly waiting for hatching, began to look inside.
‘Now we need at least one more insurance.’
