Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 521
[Level Up with the Gods Episode 521]
* * *
When Azathoth first discovered Nyala Totep.
The nameless guy was scrawny and starving because he couldn’t eat anything.
Nyala Totep has long hated this world.
It’s a world where everyone is hungry and unhappy.
So he blamed Azathoth.
Even though it has sufficient power, it does not move and is neglecting this world.
“Just like me…”
Yuwon pondered Nyala Totep’s words in his mouth.
And at that moment, Yuwon could not answer for himself whether he was Kim Yuwon or Azathoth.
“Well, the fault was here from the beginning.”
Yuwon’s gaze turned to the desolate desert.
This was a world that had been ruined a long time ago. Naturally, no one could survive in a world without a single drop of water flowing.
Azathoth wanted other life to live in such a place.
So he handed out the names and this was the result.
In the end, the one who would settle all of this was myself.
‘Still, should I call this a blessing?’
One of Yuwon’s eyes reflected the scene inside the tower.
“Who is this beauty? “Aphrodite, go away.”
“It’s Pandora. “Kim Yu-won’s girlfriend.”
“…Does Kim Yu-won have a girlfriend?”
“How can a guy who’s going to go home soon anyways still be bothering women? “Go search.”
“No, I just…”
“And he’s stronger than Baruna and you? “It’s because we couldn’t see it from where we were.”
In front of Pandora, Son Goku’s alter ego burst into laughter. Pandora, who received help in an urgent situation, reacted in confusion, wondering what kind of situation this was.
Colleagues from the future.
Yuwon was able to confirm their existence through Pandora’s eyes.
‘Mimir.’
It seemed like I didn’t have to think too much about what kind of sacrifice Mimir had made to create this moment.
“But thanks to you… it’s a lot easier.”
Originally, I had planned to defeat Nyala Totep here and return to the tower. I thought that if I hurried, I might be able to arrive in time before the fight ended.
But thanks to Mimir, a big variable arose over there.
Odin and Hercules came over here with their companions.
There was no need to worry anymore. Outers without Yog Sothos and Shub Nigurath Nyala Totep could be left alone.
They are warriors who fought against the Outers for a long time and survived.
then.
‘There is no need to save your name anymore.’
All reasons for hesitation disappeared.
“Niala.”
Nyala Totep’s response to Yuwon’s call was a little delayed.
The guy answered belatedly, wondering what he was thinking.
“Yes father.”
The guy was looking at two people from Yuwon.
With one player named Kim Yu-won, who has been competing against him for a long time.
Azathoth, the father who gave the name to the starving child wandering the desert.
Of the two, Nyala Totep responded by considering Yuwon as Azathoth.
“Please speak.”
And Yuwon asked this time as Azathoth.
“Are you sure you don’t plan on stopping here?”
“Would you at least forgive me if I stopped?”
“If everyone goes back….”
“You’re a step higher than I thought.”
The corners of Nyala Totep’s mouth turned up in a sneer.
“My foolish father. Don’t you know now? “I made all the names you loved stab me in the back.”
“Nevertheless, please go back now.”
“You speak as if you are looking out for me.”
Nyala Totep’s arms were spread wide.
“You have less name than I have. Do you think that amorphous chaos alone can handle all these names?”
[Ender of the incident]
[Void without existence]
[Sky of the world]
[Foolish chaos]
[Goddess of black abundance]
[Unpronounceable being]
[….]
Only the name that Yuwon can see Even so, it was well over a hundred. Even among them, names such as ‘foolish chaos’ and ’emptiness without existence’ were names of as high a rank as the names of amorphous chaos.
It looks like they have been steadily collecting names for some time.
In addition, he had devoured the name of Yog-Sothoth, so he was definitely confident.
but.
“You make the same mistake she did.”
In the end, this guy was under the same illusion as Shub Nigguras.
“The power of the name has disappeared, and only the shell of the true name remains.”
Shub Niggurath and Nyala Totep.
I was so obsessed with the name that I forgot the most important thing.
“Jinmyeong is the substance, not the shell. “The names you cling to are nothing more than a beautiful shell.”
There is no mistake in saying the same thing.
That’s how much they had the same mistake.
“I am Azathoth.”
The moment you hear that name.
Hwaaah-!
The world surrounding Nyala Totep suddenly changed. The purple sky and the sky that had been torn apart by the fight.
The entire world surrounding Nyala Totep turned pitch black, like black ink spreading over a painstakingly drawn picture.
And in that pitch-black darkness.
“I am the unholy king who sits on the throne in amorphous chaos and prepares for great chaos.”
Yuwon, who was sitting on the throne with his chin resting on his head, looked down at Nyala Totep.
“There is no name greater than Me.”
Nyala Totep’s eyes widened.
I can’t believe I have to look up at him like this again.
I felt like my stomach was already turning.
“-That’s far-fetched.”
“It might seem that way.”
Jeopuk-.
Yuwon came down from the throne.
Leisurely steps.
Nyala Totep used her name to devour such amusement parks.
however.
“There is nothing here.”
Nyala Totep’s name did not respond.
“Not a name or anything.”
Jeopuk-.
Yuwon, who had completely come down from the throne, seemed much taller than before.
When I looked down to see if anything, I saw that my hand had suddenly turned into the skinny palm of a child.
“What happened….”
“Didn’t you tell me? “The name you cling to is nothing more than a beautiful shell.”
Yuwon looked down at Nyala Totep.
The small child, whose height was only around Yuwon’s waist, had lost even the face he had acquired.
“Did you say you wouldn’t neglect this world like I did?”
And Yuwon.
“Wrong.”
I brought out the truth that I had not told Nyala Totep until now.
“It is I, Nyala, who created the world you hated so much.”
“…!”
Nyala Totep’s slender arms trembled as if in shock.
“Aja-toss-!”
Googoo coogu coo-.
Nyala Totep’s anger echoed throughout the space.
The throne Yuwon was sitting on shook from that anger, but that was all.
“How could you!”
“It’s not about how that can happen. “It’s just that you trusted me.”
This was what surprised Yuwon the most about Azathoth’s memories.
Azathoth loved the world so much. In the distant past, unknown even to the Outers, it was a being that turned this world into a wasteland.
“So I have no intention of criticizing you for betraying me. “If I criticize you, it will only be because of what you have done to others.”
“Why… no, how…”
Nyala Totep despaired.
“Are you that big yet?”
Unlike himself, who had become thin and small, Yuwon seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. Even though he obviously has many more names.
Knock-.
A crack appeared on the throne where Azathoth, not Yuwon, was sitting.
“No matter how many names you have-.”
Blah blah blah-.
The gold on the throne increased more and more.
“In the end, if I want to, I will just turn into dust.”
“…Are you planning on disappearing?”
Nyala Totep asked as she looked at the throne with more and more gold.
I knew full well the meaning of that throne.
That was not just a piece, but the power of Azathoth itself. Azathoth always sat on that throne, ruling his power.
But now the throne was about to be destroyed.
Azathoth.
The very essence of the name.
“No matter how much it is you, if you try to use that much power after losing all your names…”
“All names came from Azathoth.”
A devastated world. Nyala Totepdo. Even the greed of other names started from that.
Since Azathoth was the birthplace of all problems, Yuwon had this ending in mind.
“Then it’s natural for me to carry it.”
Gugugugugugugu-.
The sight of Yuwon in Nyala Totep’s eyes grew bigger and greater.
This was not the powerless and dwarfed Azathoth before they were robbed of their remaining name.
When I first met him.
It was the image of Azathoth, an almost omnipotent being who had all names.
What a blah blah-.
Yuwon glanced back at the throne of Azathoth behind him.
“I originally didn’t plan on doing it this quickly, but-.”
Hwaaaaa!
All the surrounding air enveloped Nyala Totep’s body.
It took a while to react to the sudden change in air flow.
Kwaduk-.
Nyala Totep was surprised by the teeth biting her legs and quickly lowered her head.
“What…”
Before I knew it, Nyala Totep’s legs were being sucked into the endless abyss below.
I tried to struggle somehow.
But it was a futile resistance.
In this, Azathoth was omniscient and omnipotent, and his names had no power.
“Because time is running out.”
Quack, quack, quack-.
More than half of Nyala Totep’s body was gone.
It may have been just a body, but the abyss that dragged Nyala Totep into it caused his very essence, his name, to disappear.
As she disappeared from existence, Nyala Totep uttered one last curse.
“I… hate you.”
Nyala Totep remembered the time when she had wandered hungry and lonely.
“I curse you. “Your powers, your name, everything—everything!”
“…okay.”
Yuwon nodded.
“Do whatever you want.”
Quad de-.
Just like that, Nyala Totep completely disappeared from the world.
Yuwon quietly watched the scene.
Nyala Totep.
A young, starving child who barely survived in a destroyed world.
A guy who hated that world and wanted to change it.
For that purpose, the enemy took over and destroyed Yuwon’s world.
I had no intention of blaming that guy for being the problem. In a way, the result was crooked and he was just a victim.
‘All problems are…’
Yuwon closed his eyes for a moment.
Now it was time to decide who I was.
‘It’s Azathoth.’
Originally, I wanted to delay this moment as much as possible.
However, an unexpected variable arose.
Knock-.
The gold on the throne gradually increased.
There is approximately half a day left until the name of Azathoth is completely extinguished.
No matter how belittling it was, the current Azathoth had lost most of its names.
In such a state, in order to use the same power as in the prime of life with just one true name, there are many difficulties.
‘There will still be time.’
Perhaps the destruction of that throne and my own disappearance will go together.
‘Until the door closes.’
