Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 491
[Level Up with the Gods Episode 491]
* * *
“I guess you made a deal too.”
This was what Mimir said when he came to see Zeus one day after the fight with Shub Niguras.
What on earth did you know and how did you come here?
“Why don’t you do it with me? transaction.”
“Just hearing the word ‘deal’ makes me angry. “Get out of here.”
“It won’t be any damage. “How about I just listen in and see?”
The energy that had entered my body was already consuming my body and magical organs, so I was extremely sensitive.
Meanwhile, Mimir’s outstretched hand made Zeus’ nerves more sensitive.
“There is probably no way to survive.”
Paget-.
At those words, Zeus almost dropped a thunderbolt on Mimir’s body.
However, I managed to endure it, remembering my relationship with Odin and Mimir’s abilities.
He had such outstanding intelligence that he was nicknamed the Wise Man. Worst of all, because of his outstanding ability, is he trapped in the curse of knowledge and wasting most of his life?
Zeus regained his composure.
“What do you want to say? “What kind of deal are you talking about?”
“I will teach you how to live.”
“You said earlier that there wouldn’t be any.”
“Because it wouldn’t be here.”
It was a word whose meaning I could not understand. Where is there, where is this, and what does place have to do with life and death?
“There is nothing for you to do. Just keep this.”
Sigh-.
Before even solving that question.
Mimir immediately pulled out his one remaining eye with his hand.
Despite the somewhat hideous behavior, Zeus did not frown. Instead, he asked with an expression why he was giving me something like this.
“Are you saying I should just keep it?”
“okay. “Just keep it.”
Zeus took Mimir’s eye and held it in his hand.
The feel wasn’t as strange as I thought. Rather than an eyeball, it felt like I was holding an eyeball-shaped bead in my hand.
I also had a strange feeling.
The eyes of Wise Man Mimir.
I remembered a rumor going around in the world.
It is said that Mimir’s wisdom resides in his eyes, not his head.
Zeus had also heard the rumor, but he didn’t pay much attention to it. In the case of rumors with poor basis, there was a nine out of ten chance that they were false rumors.
however.
“Is it really possible to gain your wisdom with just these eyes?”
“Do you believe that rumor?”
“I didn’t believe it. “But now that I finally get it, I’m looking forward to it.”
“Don’t use it when it’s useless, just keep it. “He doesn’t seem like such a foolish person.”
“It’s a useless worry. “This isn’t really a deal at all.”
“instead.”
As expected, it seems like there is something he wants.
When it comes to one eye, Mimir also gave something quite big. Zeus was prepared to give quite a bit in return.
however.
“Become a human being, you.”
“…Are we going to fight?”
Zeus raised his double wick at Mimir’s words.
To become a human being. It was because those words were really annoying to my ears.
Mimir did not react to the creeping magic power of Zeus. He turned around, closing his lost eyes.
How far can I go in that condition?
‘The eyes were of no use.’
After the fight against foolish chaos.
Zeus felt like he was floating somewhere. Strangely enough, there was no strength in my body and only thoughts appeared in my head.
Meanwhile.
The first thing that came to mind, and the thing that came to mind the most, was of course the snow that Mimir gave me in my hand.
‘There’s no way it’s useless.’
Mimir was the wisest man in the tower.
In fact, is it possible to say that the reason Asgard was able to become the strongest guild in the tower was due to Mimir’s wisdom rather than Odin’s power?
Zeus also recognized Mimir’s abilities.
Therefore, Zeus even more hoped that the usefulness of these eyes would be as he expected.
‘Because it won’t be here.’
It was probably only after some time that I had a vague clue about what he was saying.
Boggle-.
Little by little, my mind became clearer, and a feeling of suffocation rose up into my throat.
When did you last feel this way?
There was one face that came to mind.
‘…Are you a little brother?’
There was a time when my relationship with Poseidon was not very good.
He had submerged himself in water a few times. Although I often escaped from it, the memories of that time clearly remained.
Suuuu-.
My vision slowly returned.
Obviously he was dead.
In order to destroy even one more name of foolish chaos, I poured out all my strength, squeezing my body like a rag.
It must have been like that.
Although I was out of breath, I didn’t feel particularly distressed or afraid of being in the water.
Rather, I was more interested in the fact that I was alive.
‘Where are you?’
Pang-.
I felt like something was pulling me.
There is no strength in my body yet.
Instead, Zeus’ gaze turned to the thin thread in the water, which had become cloudy with impurities.
‘line?’
Shootaaa-.
The moment he realized, Zeus’ body was pulled upward through the water.
Gradually, a faint light appeared. Someone pulled the thread and pulled Zeus’ body up.
with a splash-.
“I caught it!”
“…He’s a human?”
The voices of the two people I heard first.
dump-.
Zeus was rescued by a fishing hook and fell to the ground. Perhaps because I fell face first on the floor, I was quite shocked.
“Cough!”
I coughed because I drank too much water. I tried to get up, but my body still wouldn’t move.
Did he drink water all the way to his body? My whole body felt heavy, my magic power was low, and I felt empty.
But fortunately there was no pain.
‘Is he still alive?’
Confidence that I lived.
More than anything else, the damn energy that had entered my body and wouldn’t go away was gone.
‘You survived.’
The lost magic power will gradually be restored.
I somehow managed to give my body strength, but I was able to get enough strength into my arms to get up.
Jeopuk-.
at that time.
Two people walked closer towards Zeus. These were people who heard voices but could not clearly see their faces.
No one got out of the water.
Zeus, who was pulled out of the water, first looked at the appearance of the two people.
“It was real.”
“….”
They were familiar faces.
Of course, it wasn’t exactly the same.
Odin had more gray hair and wrinkles than Zeus remembered.
But that was all. The broad back was still there. Above all, other than himself, there was no other king with such dignity in this tower.
Hercules next to him had lost one arm and his eyes had become quite fierce.
“This place…”
I thought it couldn’t be possible, but it was real.
Zeus, who was speechless for a moment, looked up at the sky that had completely turned purple and continued speaking with confidence.
“To the future.”
* * *
Odin and Hercules doubted the existence of Zeus.
It was natural for a person who had suddenly died to come back to life. Even Zeus agreed that it was hard to believe.
But fortunately, that part was resolved fairly easily.
“Mimir’s eyes?”
I didn’t completely understand it, but that didn’t mean I couldn’t understand it.
If it’s Mimir. Odin nodded.
They sacrificed Kronos to send Yuwon to the past, and through the results of that research, Mimir was going to use the eyes to take over the next player, Son Goku, and send him back to the past.
However, Mimir of the past found out about this through Son Goku.
If so, the opposite would also be possible.
‘The question is why this guy…’
Odin looked at Zeus and was lost in thought for a moment.
In the past, there were many more people alive than there are now.
Not only Asura Vishnu, who died in a recent fight, but also King Uma, who does not exist now, will be there.
But why?
‘I guess the fact that Mimir sent this guy means it was worth it.’
Mimir was only awake for a short time, but as long as he was awake, he was a more reliable ally than anyone else.
At least Odin had never seen anything wrong with anything he had done so far.
I had no intention of doubting it.
Because the living witness was himself.
And that’s it.
Glancing-.
It was the same with Hercules.
“I know you hate me.”
Perhaps because he had rested a little while speaking, Zeus’ complexion seemed much more relaxed than before.
“Still, put off fighting me until later. “I have a different enemy now.”
“I have no intention of fighting. “You are nothing to me.”
“Then it’s better.”
Hercules’ expression wavered for a moment at Zeus’ answer.
okay. After all, he was this kind of person.
I don’t even care about myself. Father, but not family.
It was wrong to expect it in the first place.
“sorry.”
A word suddenly uttered.
Hercules’ eyes fluttered once again.
For a moment, I couldn’t believe my ears.
Whose mouth did this come from?
‘Isn’t it Zeus?’
The Zeus he knew was never a great man who would apologize or anything.
I thought it might be fake. Hercules looked into Zeus’ eyes again.
It’s definitely true.
he is real
“…That’s it.”
It didn’t take long to get an answer.
“I killed my father here. “My father was taken down from the throne and lost his life because of me.”
If it’s revenge, it’s already been done.
At that time, all my anger had already blown away.
All that remained was the regret that I should not have killed him.
“My father and I were done with that.”
“…I see.”
It was also the first time Zeus had apologized.
It was a thought that occurred to me only after I died.
Hercules was forced to live a life he did not want according to his own plans. And the terrible things that were done to him in order to ‘create’ such Hercules.
A thought suddenly occurred to me that I should have at least said I was sorry about that.
It is already too late. This is the future, not the present you lived in. The Hercules in front of me had no idea how many years had passed since then.
but.
“I feel relieved.”
I lost my pride a little and felt refreshed.
It didn’t feel bad.
‘Is this what Mimir meant when he told me to become a man?’
But that feeling lasts only for a moment.
“Hey Odin!”
A familiar voice came from somewhere.
“What, Hercules was there too?”
Goku came to visit Odin.
He spotted Odin and Hercules and waved.
Considering that he had come this far, it seemed that he was also saying goodbye to his other colleagues in his own way.
Jeopuk-.
Goku came closer.
Zeus did not turn his head. It was because I didn’t expect to meet him like this already.
Naturally, Son Goku’s eyes turned to Zeus.
“Who is this guy?”
“This guy…”
Odin, who was asked a question, trailed off for a moment and shook his head.
It was a story that was difficult for even them to understand and accept.
But I was already at a loss as to how to make this stupid monkey understand such a story.
When I couldn’t answer for a while.
“It’s Zeus.”
Zeus stood up and introduced himself first.
Of course, Son Goku looked puzzled.
“Zeus? “You mean that guy’s dad?”
“okay.”
“I thought you were dead.”
“I got it wrong.”
An extremely shameless answer.
Zeus looked back at Hercules.
“It sounds strange to say that I am dead. Isn’t that right?”
“…?”
“…?”
This time Hercules and Odin’s expressions were different.
What should I do?
