Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 516
[Level Up with God Episode 516]
* * *
Quaddeuk-.
Kwajik Ododog-.
Black chaos enveloped Yog-Sothoth’s body.
Soon, a sound like sharp teeth chewing skin and bones came from within the black cocoon. Nyala Totep showed her greed by devouring Yog-Sothoth.
Features appeared on the white, empty face.
This guy was different from Yog-Sothoth.
He was not afraid of Azathoth’s name, and as such, he was naturally unaffected by it.
‘Even though he calls Azathoth his father, he neither elevates him above himself nor fears him.’
Nyala Totep was someone who followed Azathoth more than anyone else.
From a scrawny, faceless kid to now.
His world was filled with Azathoth.
‘That guy…’
This moment was possible because it was Nyala Totep.
‘Have you been waiting for this moment?’
How far into the future did they foresee?
He believed Azathoth was alive. I was certain that one day he would appear and threaten Yog-Sothoth with his name.
So he waited for this moment.
A chance to take on the names of Yog-Sothoth.
“…He’s the same guy, both here and there.”
Yuwon’s eyes changed.
The tone of voice was the same.
Yuwon was no longer looking at him as Azathoth.
Foolish chaos Nyala Totep.
This guy was the enemy who caused the most hardship to himself and TOP, not only in the future but also in the present.
Jureuk-.
Drip, drip-.
Nyala Totep raised her head with unfocused eyes and blood dripping from the corner of her mouth.
“You are not the father I knew.”
Yuwon sighed at the words of Nyala Totep, who recognized his eyes at a glance.
I don’t want you to become attached like this. Maybe it was because of Azathoth’s memories, but I felt like I was feeling hateful toward that guy I hated so much.
“You’re the same guy I knew.”
Yuwon, who had blurted out the words without thinking, soon sighed.
“…No, isn’t it?”
Although it was still sinister, its outward appearance had changed a lot.
The atmosphere it gave off was the same.
Yuwon’s eyes sparkled.
“Since when?”
Jeopuk-.
As Yuwon took a step towards Nyala Totep, he chewed up his words and spat them out, feeling betrayed.
“Since when did you plan this moment?”
Feeling betrayed.
It was a feeling I could never have.
But Yuwon asked now as Azathoth.
I promised myself not to get lost in the middle, but I couldn’t help it.
Azathoth loved Nyala Totep more than any other name, and Yuwon hated her more than anyone else.
Sigh-.
Nyala Totep wiped blood from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve.
He looked at Yuwon with a complex expression, just like Yuwon.
“This is it. “I’m confused.”
A worried expression.
What an expression on Nyala Totep’s face. Yuwon once again realized that he had lived a very long time.
Just look at that guy’s face.
“Which side should I consider you…”
“Either way, the outcome will not be different.”
“If that’s the case…”
The corners of his mouth rise up to just below his ears.
“I think it’s more convenient.”
This guy was definitely different from Yog-Sothoth.
Is it because he achieved his goal, or is it because he had no respect for Azathoth from the beginning?
Nyala Totep, unlike Yog-Sothoth, did not raise Yuwon.
“Since when? well. Actually, this is a difficult question to answer. “It’s not even clear when it started.”
After thinking for a moment, he answered as if he had just remembered something.
“Is it since I first saw your back…”
“Your back?”
Yuwon’s expression hardened as he thought about when that happened.
It was long before Azathoth gave him the name ‘Nyala Totep’ that he first turned his back on him. Azathoth had led him since he was a scrawny, nameless child.
I wonder if it started from then.
Yuwon asked, wondering if something might happen.
“You mean from the beginning?”
This guy trusted and followed Azathoth more than anyone else. Since it was such a betrayal from that guy, Yoo Won thought he would have been worried and conflicted until the end.
But that wasn’t it.
“To be exact, it was when I was sure that his back trusted me. I thought this moment would come. “Because my father will never die.”
“-It was you.”
Yuwon was convinced by those words.
The beginning of all this was right in front of my eyes.
“Connect Sothos with the prostitute and make them distrust me. “The one that started it all.”
“It’s too late to know.”
Nyala Totep raised her head.
Then, he quickly spoke out the words he had buried in his heart toward his father.
“My foolish, foolish, foolish father-.”
It was something I always said as a habit.
Last time, no one understood what that meant.
No, everyone was mistaken.
Foolish father.
Nyala Totep’s words are a rebuke of Azathoth’s foolishness in loving the world so much that he lost it.
but.
“I won.”
This was not the ‘foolishness’ that Nyala Totep spoke of.
He had been deceiving the man he called father for a long time.
The reason he did not stab Azathoth, who trusted him and turned his back on him like Shub Nigguras did, was to create a more certain time.
Coo coo coo coo-.
The sky was distorted. The lights that had gone out came back one by one, and the name of Yog-Sothoth once again appeared in the sky.
Stars shining brightly.
[‘The sky of the world’ forms a nebula.]
Yuwon slowly opened his mouth as he looked at Nyala Totep, who had begun to control the stars.
“…You know what?”
Swish-.
Yuwon lightly swung the knife he was holding in his hand.
It wasn’t an action of any particular significance.
It was just an action taken to evoke this atmosphere by confirming with the sword that he was a Yuwon and not Azathoth.
“I tried killing you once.”
Wiggle-.
A crack appeared in Nyala Totep’s expression.
“You mean from the future you were in?”
“Did you know that Mimir’s eyes were taken?”
Yuwon nodded as if it didn’t matter.
If anything, it was even more fortunate if the story went well.
“Contrary to what you were waiting for, Azathoth did not appear there. So… this is a change that occurred when I came back.”
In the future where the amusement park was located, Nyala Totep died and Yog-Sothoth survived.
The result is completely opposite to what it is now.
But because of that, Yuwon didn’t think the current situation was too bad.
“But nothing will change. “Because you will die by my hands again.”
Hwareuk-.
[‘Sense zone’ is activated.]
[‘Hwaan Geumjeong’ is activated.]
[‘Yejian’ is activated.]
Yuwon’s eyes changed.
Yuwon Kim and Azathoth. This time there was no need to be torn between the two.
What was in front of me now was not Yog-Sothoth.
Even if I got his name, my real name didn’t change.
His name is Nyala Totep.
It was an opponent he had defeated once.
So –
[‘The Adversary of the Other World’ confronts ‘Nyala Totep’.]
-Now was the time to fight as Kim Yu-won, not Azathoth.
“We will win this time.”
“You have a difficult dream.”
“You said you already tried it.”
Nyala Totep’s brow frowns at Yuwon’s mocking words.
As if responding to Yuwon’s words, Nyala Totep scowled at Yuwon.
“It won’t end if you beat me here, right?”
At those words, Yuwon’s eyes wavered this time.
“I understand because I’ve been through it. No, even if you don’t know, I know. “I have lived there longer than any of you.”
How long does it take for Azathoth to die and be resurrected from an egg?
And how long did Nyala Totep enter the tower and search for Azathoth?
That was something that neither Yuwon nor Azathoth could know. But, as expected, that time will never be shorter than Odin’s age.
“Even if you defeat me, it won’t be your victory. “It will be your victory.”
Nyala Totep said with certainty.
“You think we’ll win this time? It sounds absurd. ‘You’ can’t beat ‘us’.”
Yuwon closed his eyes for a moment.
okay.
His goal was not just to defeat Nyala Tortep and Yog Sothoth here.
Save as many comrades as possible and win this fight.
Since that was the ultimate goal, even if he somehow succeeded in defeating Nyala Totep here, if he lost the battle at the tower, it would have been a meaningless victory in the end.
but.
“-I will win.”
Yuwon’s thoughts were different.
Past battles unfolded in Yuwon’s mind. Outers fill the sky, and colleagues who have been defeated by them are barely hiding, waiting for an opportunity.
A world of the future that has been destroyed.
I came here after going through that world. The same was true for Son Goku.
Hercules too. Odin too. Mimir too.
Everyone has developed their own strength to avoid repeating the same thing.
“My thoughts remain the same.”
Even if I put all these thoughts aside, I can’t let that snake-like tongue mess with my mind.
So –
“‘We’ will win.”
Now I have no choice but to believe.
* * *
The blood and screams on the battlefield did not stop.
Amidst the bloody smell and the unidentifiable stench flowing from the corpses of the Outers, the screams of energy and pain and fear continued continuously.
“Aaaah-!”
“Aaaah! Save me…!”
“injury! The injured are this way…”
“It’s time to take care of the injured now!”
Little by little, the battlefield tilted in an increasingly difficult direction.
And the one who felt this fact earlier than anyone else was none other than Odin.
“…A lot of people died.”
He commanded this battlefield by borrowing the power of his mythical ‘King of Asgard’.
Is that why?
Odin felt with his own skin who died and who survived this fight.
Half of the demon kings were dead, and Diablo was wounded and running rampant, burning off his remaining life force.
Half of Michael’s wings were torn off. The scimitar of Lee Rang-jin, the head of the heavenly world, was broken in half, and he was wielding a sword of unknown origin.
Asura had one of his four arms cut off.
Artemis cried out in the middle of the battlefield at the death of her brother Apollo. Hades circled around to protect her, who was half-conscious and embracing Apollo.
Kuuk-.
Odin held Gungnir in his hand.
He too had reached his limit.
‘All that’s left is one shot.’
This one shot is probably the last one he can throw.
The moment when Odin was about to throw his last spear towards the middle of the battlefield.
Flash!
The sky turned golden.
Kurung-!
A familiar sound of thunder.
The moment the light and sound stimulated the eyes and ears, Odin stopped Gungnir.
“It’s hard to be late at a time like this…”
The corners of his mouth rise, contrary to complaints.
It was truly a soothing sound.
Buuuuung-.
Quauuuung-!
A huge thunderbolt fell on the battlefield.
Chiji chijiji-.
Golden eyes and hair.
From a distance, you might think it’s Zeus, but when you see the rugged muscles all over his body, you realize who it is.
“It’s too late.”
Kwaung-!
He appeared with thunder and began to move.
“Hercules.”
