Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 441
[Level Up with God Episode 441]
* * *
Yggdrasil.
The largest and greatest tree in the pagoda, also called Uju Tree.
There is a saying that the life of all the trees and grass in the world comes from Yggdrasil, so Yggdrasil was the source of life.
“Mimir.”
“huh?”
“I had a dream.”
It was one day.
Odin, who was climbing the tower as usual, said something unexpected on the 65th floor.
“What kind of dream is this?”
“There was a huge tree.”
“tree?”
“It was huge. So much that I can’t explain it all in words. “I don’t know exactly, but it’s probably enough to penetrate several layers.”
“That’s nonsense. “How can you capture it all with your eyes?”
“That’s right. “I’m also amazed.”
At first I thought it was just a dream.
Isn’t that so?
It is common for things that cannot happen in reality to appear in dreams through imagination.
“But the roots of that tree were planted in my body.”
“Sounds good. Now it will grow and branch out through your nostrils.”
Mimir smiles and drinks coffee.
However, in response to the usual joke, Odin spoke with a serious face.
“I’m not kidding.”
“what. “Why are you reacting like that?”
“You probably don’t know. A feeling I can only describe as a dream. “That dream was more vivid than the reality of having tea with you right now.”
I thought it was no big deal.
The conversation at that time was quite intense even for Mimir. A huge tree penetrating the tower. And Odin is said to have had a dream that seemed more realistic than reality.
But is it because he is not a party?
Mimir soon forgot the conversation. He was probably just about to conquer the tower and become a ranker.
“It was Yggdrasil.”
The tree planted in Odin’s body took root.
* * *
-Maaaaaa-.
The goat of the Black Forest raised its head.
The life of the dead forest was imbued with each step Odin took as he approached Shub Nigguras.
The closer I got, the more I felt it again.
How big of a disaster is that?
“They say this is déjà vu.”
The moment he first encountered Shub Nigurath’s body came back to Odin’s mind.
It may not have been that long ago, but even so, it was a scene I remember very vividly.
“Things are different than back then. “You and me.”
[‘The roots of Yggdrasil’ dwell in the body.]
A feeling of vitality welling up within the body.
It’s been a really long time since I felt this way.
This also meant that it had been a long time since Yggdrasil had been used.
thud-.
Plant both feet firmly on the ground and stand in front of Shub Nigguras.
With a body that rose as high as a mountain and eight horns that were sharper than those of the Demon King Diablo, it was more threatening than any monster Odin had ever seen.
but.
bang-!
In front of Yggdrasil, all living things were nothing more than infinitely small and shabby dust in the universe.
“Whoop-!”
A regime that pushes forward.
Tuk-.
The moment it reached the spot between Shub Niguras’ eyebrows.
Tsk-!
-Maaaaaa-.
Shub Nigurath shook his head, writhing in pain. Odin did not stop there and swung Gungnir held in his other hand with all his might.
Buuung-.
Jjoaaaa-!
Shub Nigurath’s upper thighs cracked like sheets of paper. Odin’s fist, which jumped deep into the arms of Shub Nigguras through the blood rising upward, was filled with magical power.
Ugh wow wow-.
Dozens of layers.
No, hundreds of layers of magic circles.
“Big guys like you…”
The attributes of those magic circles were unified.
Open palms wide.
And the moment it hits Shub Nigguras on the head.
“The weight of that body is its greatest weakness.”
Guuuung-!
Soooooo-.
The body fell to the ground, unable to overcome its weight, crushing the forest.
gravity.
Even if the force was the same multiple, the heavier the body, the greater the force. The countless magics in Odin’s hands weighed down Shub Nigurath’s body the moment they touched his head.
thud-.
Standing on the head of Shub Niguras like that.
“Don’t act in vain.”
Odin asked, pressing him down with both feet.
“Isn’t this guy everything?”
Uuuuuung-.
Magical power dissipated in Odin’s hands. Some force intervened in the countless overlapping magic circles and forcibly scattered them.
-Maaaaaa-.
-Maaaa-.
Shub Niguras’ cries rang out repeatedly.
A tree began to rise above the body of Shub Nigguras, which lay beneath Odin’s feet. Odin clicked his tongue thinking that was the case and struck his fist again.
Kwaang-!
Trees broken by their roots.
Odin’s body was overflowing with green magic. The power of Yggdrasil began to resist the power of the Black Forest.
“…also.”
Wow-.
The forest is sucking life out. He said that Yggdrasil was preventing it, but the others were not.
“Off-.”
“Somehow… I can’t breathe…”
“I have no strength in my body…”
The rankers trapped in the forest were losing their minds one by one.
Shub Niguras’ cries materialized and appeared.
Sreuk seuu-.
The trees of the Black Forest stretched out their branches toward Odin. Odin struck them away with his hands and turned his head in the direction from which he heard Shub Nigurath’s cries.
thud-.
The sound of heavy footsteps.
Another goat appeared in the black forest. Shub Niggurath was not one.
no.
‘To be exact, those are just a part of him.’
The Black Forest was not just the home of Shub Nigguras.
The goats in it. And even the giant goat shape was all Shub Niguras themselves.
Parts that make up Shub Niguras.
The body did not exist.
That’s why I was even more afraid.
Odin recognized this fact the moment Shub Niguras appeared in this world.
bang-.
“I will destroy everything.”
It was a fact I already knew anyway. Nothing changed.
Shub Niguras approaching from beyond the Black Forest.
Yggdrasil began to shine against them.
* * *
Boom!
Odin’s fist struck Shub Nigurath’s head.
It was almost at the same time. Another Shub Nigurath’s tail fell on Odin’s head.
Tsk-!
Odin flies away after being hit by the tail and falls to the ground. The green energy surrounding his body gradually faded.
“Hmph!”
Gungnir held in Odin’s hand radiated light.
It took no time to start the car. The tip of the spear left his hand and pierced Shub Nigurath’s chest.
Wow!
It was already the fifth start today.
Mimir, who was watching the fight from afar, was starting to get worried.
“Are you okay?”
This was the question Hercules had been holding back.
Odin, standing alone in the middle of the Black Forest and fighting Shub Niguras, was definitely amazing. It was almost amazing.
It seemed like I could understand why he had never once fallen in ranking.
However, the opponent was not as good as today.
Tsutsutsu-.
The forest was the problem right away.
It was Hercules who was trying to recover and become more accustomed to the power of the thunderbolt. However, ever since this forest appeared, he felt that recovery had become somewhat difficult.
The black forest sucked up the living life force. Those with weak mental powers not only lost their strength, but also made strange nonsense and complained of hallucinations.
If things continue like this, time is on whose side?
I expected it would never be on their side.
Mimir probably knows that much too.
but.
“We need a room.”
Mimir’s thoughts were a little different from Hercules.
“What will be different now that you go out? “A guy who can’t even handle that power properly yet?”
“Shouldn’t you at least help out with one hand?”
“yes. I need to help. “You should help out.”
“Then what on earth…”
“Not yet.”
What on earth are you waiting for?
At some point, Mimir continued to frown with his hand on his head.
It was as if I had an unbearably painful headache.
“Odin, that guy will endure. “Just wait a little longer.”
Mimir’s words ended there.
Hercules nodded and placed his hand on his thigh. If I didn’t, I felt like I would run forward at any moment without realizing it.
Whoa!
Shub Nigurath’s horn became lodged in Odin’s body.
Blah blah blah-.
Cracks appeared in the golden armor surrounding his body. It was a top-quality item made by mixing half adamantium, the hardest material in Asgard, and half mithril.
“Cough!”
Blood burst out from Odin’s mouth.
Fortunately, the trauma was not that serious. As the armor shattered, the body was only avoided being penetrated by the horn.
However, many of the magics wrapped around the armor were broken, and the magic flowing in his body flowed backwards. And it was no different from blood flowing backwards.
[‘Root of Yggdrasil’ stabilizes the flow of magical power.]
[‘Black Forest’ infects ‘Root of Yggdrasil’.]
Messages that may be fortunate or unfortunate.
I felt like the end was slowly approaching. It didn’t seem like it would take long before the roots planted inside my body rotted away and my strength ran out.
Sigh-.
Grab the horn that broke the armor with both arms. He lifted Shub Niguras with all his might and threw him upwards and far away.
Buuuuung-.
Toward Shub Niguras, who rose high above.
Pazuz-.
Gungnir radiated light once again.
Wow!
Gungnir’s spear strike pierced the body of Shub Niguras.
This was already the sixth startup in one day.
‘Thanks to Yggdrasil, the startup time was greatly reduced, but…’
Less rattling.
The arm that threw the spear is shaking. Now the limit is really approaching.
‘Six times a day.’
When was the last time you threw so much Gungnir? Considering that three times was the maximum in the fight with Surtur a long time ago, it was a truly ridiculous number.
But it was still not enough.
Gungnir has returned to Odin’s hands. Odin calmed down the shaking arm with his other hand and glared at the black forest.
“There is still a long way to go.”
He could still fight more.
Yggdrasil too.
I will never lose to a black forest like this.
With that thought in mind, Odin was about to take his next step.
Quack quack-.
The trees of the Black Forest grabbed Odin’s arms and legs.
I thought they were all dead trees.
“Sigh….”
Shrrrrrrrrrrrr-.
Trees rising from beneath the ground bound Odin’s body. I would have been able to get out of these dry trees without using my hands, but I couldn’t.
‘Power…’
Odin’s eyes wavered.
[‘The Root of Yggdrasil’ has been infected.]
At least the power that supported Odin’s body has disappeared.
Shuaaaaak-.
The trees of the Black Forest pierced Odin’s eyes.
And that moment.
Kwarung-!
A golden thunderbolt flew from somewhere.
It blocked the tree that was reaching toward Odin.
“Your people should have seen this scene.”
A tone of ridicule.
If it were any other time, the way he spoke would have gotten stuck in my throat and been very annoying.
At this moment, I couldn’t be more trustworthy.
Jeopuk-.
Two people walking out from inside the black forest.
“…It’s late.”
Odin muttered as he looked at Yuwon and Zeus.
