Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 440

[Level Up with God Episode 440]

* * *

An empty conference room.

The space, which had been bustling with activity, was quiet without a single sound of breathing.

A strange air filled the room. It was then that the sound of footsteps was heard in the conference room, where even the air seemed to have disappeared.

Jabak-.

Slow, deep footsteps.

The black-haired man lightly landed on the ground and opened his closed eyes.

“…I’m dazed.”

Vishnu has black hair and green eyes.

He blinked his eyes slowly a few times, as if he was about to fall asleep.

I just wanted to collapse from exhaustion. The process of becoming one brought quite a bit of fatigue.

-Maaaaaa.

It was then that I heard crying.

A cry that seeps into the heart of Valhalla. And a presence of unknown size contained within.

Through the sound, the image of a huge black goat appeared before Vishnu’s eyes.

It seemed like I could roughly guess how it came to be and how it was eaten just by its cries.

Vishnu picked his ears.

That wasn’t the only sound ringing loudly in my head.

“…I get it. okay.”

Vishnu responded to the unknown person’s words and began to trudge along as if he was annoyed.

Steps toward the outside of the conference hall.

The moment I passed through the door, Vishnu’s appearance disappeared everywhere.

* * *

Flutter-.

Slurp flutter-.

The rankers who were fighting the mountain goats lost their minds and fell down one by one. These were people who lacked mental strength or were exhausted from a long fight.

“Hey hey! Wake!”

“If you suddenly collapse….”

“Damn. “Someone come here and fill the position!”

With a single cry, the situation on the battlefield changed again.

With the joining of the Lee Rangjin Army, the rankers who had barely been able to push back the mountain goats were shaken again.

There was no suitable way to fill that position.

In the end, the Lee Rangjin army came forward.

Quaut-!

Lee Rang-jin jumped into the middle of the battlefield, wielding a heavy scimitar with one hand.

Meeeeeee-.

The goats headed towards the Lee Rangjin Army. Lee Rangjin’s army swung the scimitar at the mountain goats running from three directions.

Kwakagak-!

Mountain goats flying with their bellies split.

Meeee-.

However, there was one guy who couldn’t see the direction.

‘Should I give up my shoulder?’

Wow-.

Instead of dodging, Lee Rang-jin added strength to the hand holding the scimitar.

Rather than half-heartedly trying to dodge, he decided that it would be better to rely on the armor and solid body around him, give up his shoulder, and then deliver a solid blow.

The moment when Lee Rang-jin gave up his shoulder and was about to swing his scimitar.

Seaaaaagh-.

A red line was drawn over the body of the mountain goat that was rushing toward the Lee Rangjin Army.

Puhwaak-!

Ji-Ik-.

The mountain goat’s body was cut into dozens of pieces, leaving a small scratch on Lee Rang-jin’s cheek. The sharp sword strike that penetrated the mountain goat’s body even affected the Lee Rangjin army.

‘This sword strike looks familiar.’

There is probably no one among the warriors of heaven who does not remember this sword strike.

Although it was over several hundred years ago.

‘Asura.’

The ghost in front of me had once challenged the heavens and destroyed the heavenly armies one by one.

Toduk, toad, toad –.

Pieces of cut goat flesh fell to the ground. Asura lowered his four swords and looked around.

He doesn’t seem to have much interest in Lee Rang-jin.

This meant that this battlefield was full of strong enemies.

“If I did it wrong, my head would have been cut as well.”

“It’s okay to say thank you.”

“If this sounds like a thank you, it’s a little creepy.”

“So.”

“Why are you so late?”

“I have a lot of enemies.”

At those words, Lee Rangjin looked at Asura’s attire.

There was human blood on his body, not goat blood. It looked like there had been a fight somewhere.

‘That temperament is still the same.’

Asura had no distinction between enemy and enemy. He risked his life fighting against the strong and always forced his opponents to fight.

How many resentful relationships have been created like that? Among the guilds that participated in this reconciliation, there were several that had a grudge against Asura.

Even when he invaded the heavenly world, if it had not been for the intervention of the Lee Rangjin Army, Asura and the heavenly world might have become enemies.

‘But thanks to you, I was able to take a breather…’

-Maaaaaa-.

For a moment, I thought that with Asura’s support, I could barely fill the void left by the fallen rankers.

Lee Rang-jin’s head cried again and he dropped the scimitar he was holding at the sight that unfolded before his eyes.

“…What is that?”

* * *

Sreuk Ssur-.

The color of the ground changed.

The ground made up of the rankers’ blood turned black. The seed nourished by their blood grew into a small tree, which soon grew into a huge tree.

A huge forest spread out. In it, the goats bleated repeatedly with their eyes sparkling.

-Maaaaaa-.

The cries of Shub Nigurath.

Upon hearing that, Hercules felt like vomit was coming out of his stomach.

Hercules frowns.

“You seem very tired.”

Odindi tapped Hercules on the shoulder.

“Just rest for a little while. “I still need to get used to that power.”

“You can’t do that.”

chin-.

Hercules shook off Odin’s hand.

“Didn’t you say it’s just the beginning?”

“You take after your father in being stubborn.”

“Don’t compare yourself to him.”

With a sharp retort, Hercules began to walk in the direction from which he heard Shub Niguras’ cries.

But soon.

Beetle-.

Hercules seemed to have lost his balance and lost his balance.

“So what did I say? “I told you to rest a little.”

“…it’s okay.”

“Tsk.”

Odin clicked his tongue briefly and looked at the forest spread out in front of him.

Black Forest. It was a place that perfectly fit the name of Shub Nigguras, known as the ‘Goat of the Black Forest who leads a thousand mountain goats’.

In this short time, a forest large enough to cover an entire country was spread. The trees covering the forest gave off an ominous energy.

“Blame me….”

-Maaaa-.

With the cries that followed.

Geuggeukgeuk-.

A huge goat appeared through the black forest.

thud-.

It was a presence on a different level than before. Only then did Hercules realize why his body had suddenly lost strength.

It was also the first time I used lightning in my life, so my energy was exhausted.

‘Is it because of that goat?’

A huge goat with purple eyes.

It was because I felt an instinctive fear of that being.

Jeopuk-.

Odin walked towards Shub Nigurath.

Hercules stretched out his hand as he looked at Odin, who was heading towards Shub Niguras alone, just like he had just moments before.

“It’s not possible.”

Sigh-.

Hercules shook his head, holding on to Odin’s feet.

He, too, is exhausted. There was no good result from trying to do something on my own.

“What do you plan to do alone?”

“You were alone too.”

“Me and you….”

“I am Odin.”

Hercules’ words of ‘different’ could not continue.

Odin, as if he had anticipated Hercules’ words, spoke in a laughable tone.

“King of Asgard. “The great sky that rules over the five worlds.”

No matter what anyone says, Asgard was the guild that ruled the largest world in this tower.

And Odin is the ranker who founded Asgard. The moment he uttered words that may have been conceited to some, they became pride and confidence.

And because Hercules knew that, he could no longer stop Odin.

furthermore.

“It’s a useless worry.”

A friend closer to Odin than anyone else.

Even Mimir seemed to come to Hercules’ side and stop him.

Jump and jump -.

Hercules could no longer stop Odin from approaching Shub Niguras.

‘You must recover as quickly as possible.’

I am confident that I am not inferior to anyone when it comes to physical strength.

Hercules planned to quickly regain his strength and join Odin.

And Hercules’ true intentions were clearly revealed through the expression on his face.

“Tsk. “There is no need to be so hasty.”

Mimir shook his head at Hercules’ expression.

Hercules couldn’t understand.

The opponent was Shub Niguras. Moreover, by revealing the main body, it showed off a presence of a higher level.

On the other hand, Odin.

“You can only throw Gungnir with one shot at most.”

Although he took a short breather, he had already fired two Gungnir shots.

It was clear just by looking at his back that he was very tired.

“Even then, I would have to buy time to start up Gungnir.”

“Is Gungnir the only thing that guy has?”

“That’s not true…”

“That guy didn’t get that ranking for nothing.”

Mimir knew Odin better than anyone else.

We climbed the tower together, raised our rankings, and built Asgard on this tower. The two people who climbed to the top together knew each other better than anyone else.

Odin is Mimir.

And Mimir and Odin.

“My magic skills are worse than mine, and my physical abilities are not as good as yours.”

And the Odin that Mimir knew was not such a great being worthy of reverence.

Who knows, it’s been over 10,000 years since I ascended to the top.

Until then, he was someone who was far from worthy of being called a king.

“But still, that guy was great. “Do you know why that is?”

A question that makes no sense.

It was then that a cool feeling passed through Hercules’ skin as he waited for the next answer.

Shoot-.

‘The smell of wood.’

The smell that permeated the bright, nose-popping air was clearly that of a living tree.

It was a familiar smell to him, who had been chopping wood in the mountains ever since Gigantomachia ended.

Hercules looked around. I was wondering where the smell was coming from.

But all that is around are the dead trees of the Black Forest created by Shub Nigguras.

Even though I washed my eyes and looked for the tree that gave me this cool feeling, I couldn’t see it.

“A lot of people who don’t know anything say that. “The reason Odin is truly great is because he is qualified to activate Gungnir.”

Mimir snorted as he said that.

“no. “That’s just one of the many great things about that guy.”

“What do you want to say?”

“Look at that.”

chin-.

Odin, who was walking towards Shub Niguras, touched the pillar of a black, dead tree.

And that moment.

Shrrrrrrrr-.

Color was cast over the blackened tree trunk.

A brown column soaked in moisture. Tree branches that raise their heads in search of vitality and green leaves blooming on top of them.

Hercules’ pupils dilated at the sight unfolding before his eyes.

A dead tree was given new life again. In the middle of the black forest, a tree that had regained its strength after being chosen by Odin was showing off its colors in the black forest.

“That’s why Odin is great.”

Odin, King of Asgard.

The reason he was able to get to this point was not because of his strong body or the tens of thousands of magic he learned from Mimir.

That’s why.

Tsuru Tsutsutsu-.

“It’s because Yggdrasil grows inside that guy’s body.”
