Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 509
[Level Up with the Gods Episode 509]
* * *
The Death God Beast finally gave in.
The existence of Jecheon Daeseong, which was not an alter ego, was enough to wipe out an entire large guild.
“Ha ha ha… If it was the main body, shouldn’t you have told me in advance?”
“That’s right. “If we had that much sincerity, we would have just pretended we didn’t win.”
White tiger. And blue dragon.
The two high rankers came next to Goku and smiled awkwardly.
Son Goku sighed at the sight of him being so servile and even pathetic.
“Are there only fools in the Four Gods of Death?”
“….”
The Death God Beasts were speechless.
Goku scratched his head in frustration.
Just because of my temperament.
With that thought, Son Goku got on Geunduun.
‘I’m putting an annoying condition on it.’
“Never kill anyone.”
Yuwon’s warning was not just unfounded.
In the future, Son Goku went around to guilds that refused to cooperate, like now, and used quite strong force against guilds that did not listen.
In the end, the guilds did not move in the end. These guys cowardly hide behind other guilds and plan their own safety with the blood of others.
Son Goku didn’t just leave those guys alone.
but.
“The fight has just begun. “Keep that in mind.”
This was what Yuwon warned the most.
The tower’s ranked players and even its residents. Guilds that did not move until more than half of all races flew away.
But now, the fight against Outer had just begun.
Goku knew that much too.
However, the heat only spread.
“It’s just a temperament…”
Fiercely burning eyes.
The Death Beasts that made eye contact flinched and trembled.
Son Goku, riding Geunduun, began to move. When I looked down, I saw the injured rankers coming to their senses and getting up one by one.
Still, no guild members died as a result of this riot.
“Tsk…”
Son Goku ate his appetite as he started moving to the next location.
In the past, he may have caused a ruckus out of anger, but as expected, moderate words or violent demonstrations were no fun.
Moreover, since there was one that I was more interested in, I couldn’t help but feel more disappointed.
“I should have followed you.”
* * *
Crackling crackling-.
Hercules cut off a dry tree and threw it into the burning fire.
Every time I took a breath, breath came out. I thought I wouldn’t be able to feel the cold anymore after becoming a ranker, but it seems I was mistaken.
“It’s chilly.”
“…cold.”
Pandora had borrowed the ‘clothes of the four great spirits’ from Yuwon.
The cold was several degrees below zero.
Outside the tower, at night it became cold enough to freeze the skin, bones and soul, and during the day the atmosphere became as hot as hell.
It’s a cold that even Pandora can’t withstand.
It was a really strange place.
“I told you not to follow me like that.”
Yuwon sighed as if he knew that would happen.
White breath exhaled thickly. Yuwon, who was shaking his head, took out the coffee powder from his inventory and warmed it up by adding it to water.
“Drink. “It will get better.”
“thanks.”
“No, not you.”
Instead of holding out his hand like a bowl, Yuwon put coffee into Pandora’s hand.
Seeing Hercules looking embarrassed, Yuwon drank another cup of coffee. The cup seemed to be a miniature as it was held in Hercules’ hand.
“I think we’ve come a long way. “I can’t see anything.”
Hercules finished the coffee in one mouthful and then looked straight ahead.
An empty desert with nothing to see. Unlike the inside of the tower, there was no civilization here.
“It’s probably one of the two.”
“two?”
“Either they ran away, or they are planning to join forces and fight somehow.”
Even though I moved for over a day, I couldn’t see anything. The guys already knew they were coming.
It was worth it.
Sigh-.
Yuwon raised his head and looked up at the sky.
Unlike the purple sky that appeared at the tower, the stars were very visible in the sky here.
As much as I knew the identity of the star, I couldn’t just see it as beautiful, but it was an undeniable fact that it was beautiful.
‘Did that guy tell you?’
The eyes of Sothos were everywhere, both inside and outside the tower.
I could tell by feeling that the guy was watching me. In that case, it was understandable that the other guys were avoiding it in advance.
‘I guess I’ll have to hurry up a bit.’
This moment will probably be the last time I rest.
Yuwon looked across the vast, endless desert.
“I used to walk here a lot. “To the point where I’m sick of it.”
Long ago, Azathoth walked this desert.
There was nothing else to do in this world where there was only sand and sky. Sit still or walk. There were only two options.
Hercules asked Yuwon’s sentimental words.
“What kind of toss do you mean when it’s that guy?”
“okay.”
“now?”
A moment’s hesitation.
However, the hesitation was really only ‘for a moment’.
“…Kim Yu-won.”
The answer he gave while nodding his head as if making a promise.
Hercules narrowed his eyes.
“Have you thought about it?”
“no.”
“But why are you hesitating?”
“I’m delaying my response without realizing it. “It’s as if you have to think about this obvious thing to come to a conclusion.”
Yuwon was equally uncomfortable.
Consciously, he continued to think that he was Kim Yu-won, but despite this, the strong name ‘Azathos’ that settled in his subconscious did not disappear.
I’ve lived so many years, but I can’t believe I’m getting older and reflecting on myself.
“Anyway, I’m glad that’s the conclusion.”
“Is that so?”
Hercules looked at the blazing bonfire.
The fire was burning with Yuwon’s magic power. Hercules, who had been looking at the fire in silence for a while, opened his mouth.
“I was born and raised in Olympus.”
“…?”
“When I was young, I trained to become an outstanding ranker and rose to the top. “The process was smooth, and I ended up participating in Gigantomachia and being called a hero.”
Hero Hercules.
He was embarrassed to be called by that name.
Nevertheless, the fact that he uttered the word hero meant that it was not a simple complaint.
“After the war, I worked as a woodworker. Strangely enough, the blood on my hands, which had not been erased even by the pouring waterfall, seemed to be erased while I was chopping wood.”
“That’s why you did it like that.”
“So I’m going to become a carpenter.”
Hercules, who said that, looked as excited as a child.
“It was an idea I had been thinking about for a long time. “Strength is one thing, so you can probably become the best carpenter in this tower.”
He was assuming after this fight was over.
A carpenter.
Hercules has already been cutting trees for a long time. All the way until Gigantomachia ended and the name Hercules was forgotten. He made it a point to collect wood from the forest and help needy residents.
“What are you going to do?”
Hercules alternately looks at Yuwon and Pandora.
He asked about their dreams.
“we?”
“okay. Don’t you guys have something you want to do too? “Especially…”
Hercules asked while looking at Yuwon.
“You originally lived in a separate world.”
The original world.
Yuwon thought about those words for a moment.
What kind of place was it? I had a brief stay a few years ago when I used Clockwork to go back in time, but I don’t really remember.
What did the house look like?
“I forgot.”
Hercules looked puzzled at Yuwon’s answer.
“forget?”
“I was an orphan. “My first memory is of neither my mother nor my father.”
orphanage.
These were the words that pierced Yuwon’s heart the most.
Having to live alone in this difficult world was even colder than the current cold.
“I grew older as I lived in Yeongbuyeong. I don’t remember the process very well. It’s been a while. “It wasn’t a good memory.”
“…Why didn’t I tell you about the past?”
“There was nothing to talk about. Even if it is a special incident, people are bullied or fight because they are orphans. Because it was one of two things.”
Yuwon, who said that, shrugged his shoulders.
“For me, this is home. Even if I could go back, I have no intention of going back.”
The original time in the world was at most 20 years.
On the other hand, the time spent fighting with colleagues such as Son Goku, Hercules and Odin was dozens of times that amount.
It no longer mattered where my hometown was. Yuwon’s world had already changed.
“What do you want to do when everything is over?”
“That’s what I want to do…”
Yuwon’s words trailed off.
It was a question I had never thought about.
What do I want to do?
After thinking for a moment, Yuwon shook his head.
“nothing.”
“nothing? really?”
“okay.”
Hercules looked disappointed at Yuwon’s answer.
There’s nothing I want to do.
It was because Yuwon’s answer felt very unfortunate.
however.
“The best thing I want to do is do nothing.”
Yuwon’s words were more sincere than any other answer.
“Either enjoy something leisurely or get a good night’s sleep. Without planning anything, without being busy…”
A thousand years after the end of Gigantomachia.
Unlike Hercules, who was chopping wood while losing his purpose, Yuwon has spent most of his life running toward one goal.
To survive.
“For a long time, I fought harder than anyone else. That’s why I came to hope that, if possible, there would be nothing left after passing through the long passage.”
As I spoke, my thoughts slowly came together.
What you really want.
Yuwon summed it up in one word.
“I just want to get bored.”
“I was bored…”
The moment Hercules realized that Yuwon truly wanted it, he smiled without regret.
“It’s simple.”
“But it was that difficult.”
“It’s difficult. “But it’s not far now.”
Hercules smiled broadly as the desert went away and then looked back at Pandora, who had a somewhat determined expression on his face.
Judging from the look in his eyes, it seemed like he could get a tremendous answer just by prodding him slightly.
“Pandora you-.”
“I’m going to get married.”
“texture…?”
Wide-eyed.
Hercules looked back at Yuwon, wondering if it was possible.
“With him?”
“Yes, with Yuwon. “I will definitely do it.”
These were words that made Hercules’ heart sink.
On the other hand, Yuwon, the person who heard the story, looked somewhat calm.
“You have just received a confession.”
“know.”
“I’m not surprised.”
“I am quite surprised. “Maybe not as much as you.”
“…Why am I more surprised?”
The party involved was Yuwon. But what was more surprising was Hercules.
Yuwon seemed to have expected that to some extent.
Pandora.
If the most beautiful woman in the tower was discussed, she would be mentioned along with Tsukuyomi and Aphrodite.
However, I received a confession from Pandora.
Hercules, dumbfounded, laughed and asked.
“What if this guy doesn’t accept it?
“I will do it anyway.”
Pandora didn’t seem to like the question at all and muttered with a grumpy face as if she were promising.
“Unconditionally. must.”
“Wow.”
Hercules scratched his head as if the answer was absurd.
“After going through the long passage, what? “He said he hoped there would be nothing…”
At the end, something truly incredible was waiting.
Crack, crack, crack-.
The bonfire continued to burn.
Yuwon did not respond to Pandora’s confession. Pandora also seemed to be no different from usual, as if she did not specifically expect an answer.
Pandora slowly drinks coffee while blowing it.
Yu-won is lost in thought while stirring the bonfire with kindling.
Hercules thought.
‘I’m not sure if those two will connect or not…’
Looking up at the sky with twinkling stars.
‘I hope that day comes.’
