Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 438
[Level Up with God Episode 438]
* * *
Above the purple colored clouds.
It’s a bit expensive-.
Hargan’s eyelids slowly peeled off, revealing golden eyes.
“Have you decided now?”
Chiji chiji-.
Magic power that begins to move regardless of one’s will.
It was my first time feeling this way. It felt like someone else was using the magic power in my body.
And at the center.
[‘Thunderbolt’ starts.]
That fell from Zeus.
And there was the power of lightning that had been in his body since he was born.
Under golden eyes.
The battlefield was in shambles.
And Shub Niguras and Hercules stand at the center.
“It took you so long.”
Although they said it was a long time, the feeling was the exact opposite.
I wondered if time had ever passed so quickly. As the tension continued for a long time, time naturally passed.
“Keep in mind.”
Zeus’ voice passed through my mind.
“If you lose concentration the moment you move the seeds, your life is in danger.”
Tsutsutsu-.
Hargan looked down at his body. An explosive electric shock that I have never felt before passes through my entire body.
This moment.
Hargan had only one sentiment.
“It doesn’t hurt as much as I thought.”
* * *
[The power of ‘thunderbolt’ is in the arm.]
Kwarung boom!
Hercules thought as he looked down at his arms wrapped in golden lightning.
“You were originally one.”
These were the words of Zeus, who called Hercules and Hargan together.
“No, to be exact, it was planned as one.”
“Isn’t it time to be ashamed of planning and having children?”
“It’s definitely not an honorable thing to do. “But I didn’t call you here to argue about right or wrong.”
“Now that…”
Hercules, who was about to protest, soon stopped and kept his mouth shut. Clearly, the current situation was not leisurely enough to waste time discussing what was right and wrong.
“so? What do you mean it was one?”
“I wanted the perfect successor to surpass me. “The ideal being who will stand tall at the top of the tower that will raise Olympus to a higher level.”
Zeus looked at Hercules and Hargan in turn and asked.
“What about you? Do you have any thoughts of becoming king?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“there is.”
Hercules and Hargan’s answers differed.
And in response to the two people’s answers, Zeus closed his eyes for a moment as if he felt sorry.
“…I see.”
“Now speak up.”
“okay. “That’s how it should be.”
The conversation continued with difficulty.
“While looking after my many children, I realized that I had to give up my greed.”
“greed?”
“If the container is too strong, the seed cannot grow, and if the container is weak, the seed will not be able to use its full strength even if it grows larger.”
“What does that mean….”
Sigh!
It was then that Hercules grabbed Zeus by the collar.
He glared at Zeus with eyes burning with anger and asked in an unusually growling voice.
“two of us! “Do you mean that vessel?”
“…uh?”
Only then did Hargan realize what the vessels and seeds Zeus had spoken of were.
Hercules, a container for seeds.
And Hargan, the container where the seeds will grow.
That was the role of both of them.
“okay.”
“How can you say that so easily!”
“Whether it’s easy or difficult, you have to say what you have to say. “Especially in situations like now.”
Tuk-.
Hercules let go of the hand he was roughly holding. Zeus patted his messed up clothes and continued speaking again.
“The seed has grown sufficiently. The thunderbolt within Hargan’s body was already fully ripe. Now it is time to move the land.”
“Are you telling me to take something from this guy?”
“okay. That’s what it says.
“…Nothing has changed about you.”
Zeus raised his head at Hercules’ sharp words.
Purple sky.
Under the sky of Shub Niguras, he opened his mouth.
“What was meant to happen happened.”
Unlike usual, his voice was devoid of confidence.
This was the first time Hercules had seen Zeus like this. With just one word, Zeus made me feel deep in my bones that the situation was so hopeless.
Hercules sighed and asked.
“Is there no other way?”
Zeus nodded to Hercules’ question.
“At least for me.”
“ha-.”
It meant that Hercules and Hargan had the means.
The moment Hercules glances at Hargan next to him.
“I’ll do it.”
Hargan nodded and made a decision.
Chiji chiji-.
Hercules clenched his fists as the power of the thunderbolt filled his body.
This was something I found out just a few hours ago.
That he was originally made as a vessel to contain lightning.
It didn’t really feel that way in words.
but.
‘I understand why you said that.’
Because of this incident, I felt like the distance between me and Zeus, who I thought had become a little closer, had become further apart again.
-It looks like it’s finally been completed.
Kwa-rung, rumble-.
Shub Niguras opened his mouth as a stream of electricity exploded from Hercules’ hand.
-I really want it….
“It doesn’t feel real to me yet either.”
Chijiji-.
Hercules appears behind Shub Niguras.
“What do you mean, I’m complete?”
He thrust his fist into Shub Niguras’ back.
Buuung-.
Kwarung-!
The fists collided and a golden lightning swept through Shub Niguras. Shub Niguras, caught in the thrill of electricity with the impact of the fist, stumbled within it.
In a golden halo of light that cannot be easily extinguished.
Paaa-.
Hercules, who had sent Shub Niguras flying away, caught up with him and swung his fist again.
Kwaung-!
The sound of lightning erupted from beneath the ground. A fist containing the power of an attribute emitted several times more power than a fist that was simply loaded with power.
Shub Nigurath’s body was torn to pieces and exploded.
Hercules’ sudden change.
“…What is that guy?”
Mimir looked at this from a distance with his mouth wide open.
Although he was cursed with knowledge.
Even he couldn’t easily understand what Hercules looked like now.
Naturally, Mimir had no choice but to turn his attention to Odin.
What on earth happened to Hercules during the hundred years he was asleep?
“It’s… very different from what I heard.”
Odin was equally difficult to explain.
Hercules was definitely a great ranker. He was the hero of Gigantomachia and the best of the children raised by Zeus.
But no matter what, it wasn’t like this.
From his first appearance, he was unusual. He, who was not even in the top 10, faced Shub Nigguras head-on with his strength alone.
It wasn’t easy even for Odin.
But now, he had gone beyond that and was using the thunderbolt like Zeus and was pushing Shub Niguras.
Odin opened his palm and held it in front of his eyes.
For some reason, the wrinkles on my palms seemed to increase more today.
‘It’s been a while.’
How long was it when you were at the top? It was impossible for him to reign over the world forever under the name of king.
It probably started when a young boy named Zeus first ruled Olympus and called himself king.
I realized that as time goes by, my time will come to an end.
And as he looked at the scene unfolding before his eyes, Odin finally became convinced.
‘Times have changed.’
* * *
“Maple!”
“Maple…! ah.”
Yuwon turned his head at the weak voice.
Zeus, who was following behind, was shaking his head with a rare sigh.
“Why are you doing that?”
“I wonder what they are doing now.”
“It’s only been ten minutes.”
“It’s been ten minutes.”
Two people who raised their voices and looked for autumn leaves. It was natural for a playwright to look for the lost autumn leaves, but Zeus had no choice but to feel the limits of his patience.
But so what.
“If you can’t bear that much, do it yourself.”
Autumn leaves!
Yuwon heads deeper into the forest again and searches for autumn leaves.
Suddenly, a tendon sprouted from Zeus’ forehead. Zeus, with a rare expression of annoyance on his face, walked closer to Yuwon.
“How on earth did you know where that guy was and were so relaxed? “Just a little while ago, wasn’t it you who was worried about the outside world, not me?”
“It did.”
“But why?”
chin-.
Yuwon, who was walking, suddenly stopped.
Did I even discover something?
Yuwon, who stood there in silence for a moment, gave an answer one beat late.
“It’s not that far away.”
“what?”
Zeus turned his head.
A dark forest.
The black forest of Shub Nigurath seemed to get darker as we went deeper into it.
What on earth is around here?
“Where do you mean?”
“Just follow me.”
Yuwon took a quick step forward.
It was a different movement from before, where I followed my feet in any direction.
A step that gives a certain sense of certainty.
Jeopuk-.
Zeus walked behind Yuwon. If I found the person I was looking for, I should hurry. I thought to myself, counting the time.
How much longer did I walk like that?
Meeeeeee-.
The sound of a mountain goat was heard.
“…It’s close.”
Meeee-.
Meeeeeee-.
Me-.
The goat’s cry was not one.
Zeus, who had already met the goats of Shub Niguras twice, could not just ignore them.
What’s more, the crying was coming from where Yuwon was heading.
Chijiji-.
Zeus increased his electric power little by little. At this distance, mountain goats might run in and attack them at any time.
“Is this the right direction?”
An obvious question.
Even if they escaped in a hurry, it wasn’t enough, so they were now entering the middle of enemy territory on their own.
Moreover, why is this guy called Maple in the middle of those mountain goats?
“right.”
“From the sound of it, I don’t think so.”
“no.”
Yuwon shook his head.
“It’s more certain because of the sound.”
“What are you talking about?”
A series of incomprehensible words.
Anyway, there was no other way now than to follow Yuwon.
As expected, it was different from where I followed.
Meeee-.
Me-.
dozens.
No, hundreds of mountain goats were gathered in a line.
“…also.”
Padit chijijiji-!
As if he knew this would happen, Zeus stretched out his hand and created a thunderbolt in his hand. The plan was to wipe out the mountain goats at once as they were gathered together.
however.
“Stop it.”
“You probably don’t know that now is your chance, right?”
Zeus frowned at Yuwon, who was blocking his path, as if telling him not to interfere.
It was clear that if those guys were to scatter in all directions, it would be quite a troublesome situation.
however.
“Look over there.”
Yuwon pointed to the middle of the mountain goats. Zeus looked in the direction Yuwon’s finger was pointing without erasing the thunderbolt in his hand, wondering what was there.
And that moment.
“…Is that what you were looking for?”
Zeus again had doubts about the existence of the ‘autumn leaves’ that Yuwon had been looking for.
In the middle of a group of mountain goats.
What a blah blah-.
Ugh-.
The heavily cracked egg was shaking precariously, as if it might break at any moment.
