Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 541
[Level Up with God Side Story Episode 17]

“What is your name?”
He rolls the brush with his finger with a puzzled look on his face.
The soldier filling out the list of participants for the Celestial War looked up and down at the new participant in front of him.
‘You have a handsome face.’
A rare black-haired man.
His face seemed familiar to me, but I couldn’t remember him, so he didn’t seem like he was that great of a guy.
He probably looked like a low-level ranker who was active in a small guild on the outskirts.
“Kim Yu…”
The participant who paused for a moment continued,
“This is Kim Yu-hoon.”
“Kim Yu-hoon?”
Thinking it was an unusual name, the soldier wrote it down in the list:
“That’s ok. The competition starts at noon tomorrow, so don’t be late.”
“yes.”
Looking at the man who turned his body like that, the soldier tilted his head.
This time too, he thought he had seen it somewhere else.
* * *
‘It’s the Great War of the Heavenly World.’
Yuwon, who had just finished filling out the list, looked at the sign for this competition and thought,
‘The heavens have changed a lot, too.’
The world of heaven, which was once proud, has changed a lot.
There were two starting points where the world of heaven began to change rapidly.
One was the death of the Jade Emperor. The second was the war with Outer ten years ago.
Through that experience, the world of heaven began to change. sought change.
Yu Won believed that Lee Rang Jin-gun would do it well, but he did not expect it to be like this. The
Battle of Heaven was a shame that he wanted to erase in Heaven, and more than anything, the position that came with winning was unconventional.
“The position of general . La….”
General.
It was clearly a very symbolic place in heaven, along with the place of mourning.
The position of General was one that had great authority to command up to a thousand heavenly generals and command up to a million heavenly soldiers.
also.
It was also the same as the seat of Irangjingun, who can be said to be the current head of the heavenly world.
‘Have you decided to accept it in the end?’
Ten years.
It was not a very short time.
It was an absurdly long time to think about just one thing.
Irangjin-gun.
The fact that he was resigning from the position of general meant that he had made up his mind to become the next Sangje.
The kit in Yuwon’s pocket rang.
It was a message from Son Goku.
[Son Goku: Are you having fun alone?]
This was a text message I sent after learning that Yuwon was participating in the Battle of Heaven.
If he was someone who liked fighting, he would have naturally wanted to participate, but Yuwon had come here alone, separated from Son Goku.
“What do you mean, returning to the battlefield?”
“I’m thinking of changing my name again.”
“name?”
“I need to come up with a different name than Kim Yu-won.”
In order to return to the battlefield, you had to first make your name known.
However, the name ‘Kim Yu-won’ could not be used.
If you try to use that name and it gets forgotten in people’s minds again, you could end up back at square one.
then.
“How about Kim Yu-hoon?”
A new name that was similar but different was needed.
Of course, everyone will remember the name Kim Yu-won someday.
But there was no guarantee as to when that would happen or who would remember it.
“It’s a little strange.”
“The two letters are the same.”
“How can I make a name for myself again?”
“I did some searching while I was here.”
Yuwon took out the player kit and showed the screen.
Son Goku’s eyebrows furrowed when he saw the words ‘Great War in Heaven’.
“Do you want to rummage?”
The Celestial War was a dark history that even Celestials wanted to erase, but it was actually a more sensitive word to Son Goku.
In any case, unlike Heaven, who was recorded as the winner, Son Goku was known as the loser in that war.
“Look carefully. Because that’s not it.”
“then?”
“It’s a new competition being held in heaven. “Like the Murim War.”
“Competition?”
The face becomes more wrinkled.
Now, Son Goku, who was even taking out the Hwaan Geumjeong and widening his eyes, muttered.
“How dare these bastards give this competition a name like this?”
“Shouldn’t you be happy?”
“What are you happy about?”
“The fact that Heaven used this name in the competition means that it is proud of its history of fighting and winning against you. In a way, it means I recognize you that much.”
Yuwon thought that if things were left like this, Son Goku might attack heaven and swing the female baton, so Yuwon gently comforted him.
Son Goku, who was fuming, soon seemed to calm down and nodded.
“Anyway, so? “You want to participate in that competition?”
“okay. “You can participate regardless of whether you are a ranker or a player.”
“If you see that it is being hosted in heaven, it will probably attract quite a few people. But is it possible to suddenly make a name for yourself by participating in such a crappy competition?”
“It’s not a sloppy competition.”
“What amazing people are participating in the first competition?”
“The winning prize is five million points and the position of general.”
“…General?”
No matter how stupid Son Goku was, he had no choice but to understand the position of general.
Now and in the past, there was only one great general in the heavenly world.
Irangjin-gun.
Excluding Tusin and the Jade Emperor, he was the strongest general in the heavenly world and one of the few strong men recognized by the Emperor of Heaven.
“Why that bastard?”
“I guess he’s thinking of moving up to the position of Sangje now. “Because there is no suitable owner.”
“There’s also Taesangno, right?”
“That guy stopped his activities a long time ago. Wouldn’t it be strange to suddenly entrust the position of Sangje to a high ranker who hasn’t been active for over 5,000 years?”
Taesangno.
He was a high ranker in the heavenly world with a ranking comparable to that of Lee Langjin.
However, his relatively low ranking was only because he had not been active for a long time, and in reality, his skills were known to be comparable to those of the Jade Emperor.
“You’re doing something out of character.”
“I guess it’s Rangjin-gun’s own determination. “I will now sit in the position of a king who rules over the heavens, not as a general protecting the heavens.”
“Do you think that guy would hang out with Sangje?”
“Whether the place creates the people or the people change the place, they all fit together somehow. There’s nothing for you to worry about. “The important thing is that the title of general is at stake in the prize of the Heavenly World War.”
The position of general was one of the top three positions in heaven.
Excluding Taesangnogun, who is virtually absent, he is a position of power and strength next to Sangje.
There were many rankers aiming for that general position.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t receive the position of general. “As long as that prize is at stake, the winner of the Heavenly World War will be able to gain a reputation comparable to that of the General of the Heavenly World.”
This is exactly what Yuwon was aiming for.
An honor comparable to that of a general.
The power of words comes from honor and power.
And now Yuwon needed to have that power.
“It’s a little strange.”
“what?”
“Something isn’t like you. “The guy who made sure to go back seems to be in a hurry.”
“You really are a bit strange.”
“I? why?”
“Why are you so uncharacteristically sharp?”
Boom-.
As soon as Yeouibong came flying at him, Yuwon casually twisted his head to avoid it.
“Is it that urgent?”
“There is a reason for that.”
“And that’s why?”
Those were meaningful words.
A nuance that seems to have a purpose other than simply participating in the competition and winning.
Son Goku, whose head was in a mess, scratched his head in his typical manner and asked.
“You said you knew something, right? “About managers.”
“okay.”
Although it was Azathoth’s memory, Yuwon clearly knew about them.
That’s why Son Goku said it wasn’t like usual, but he was able to say it clearly.
Now was the time to sprint.
Ugh-.
The kit rang once again.
Another message arrived from Son Goku.
[Son Goku: Is it fun?]
It was a message that didn’t require a reply.
It couldn’t have been fun.
Because the competition will be boring.
More than anything.
‘It’ll probably be a lot more fun that way.’
* * *
The day of the Great War of Heaven dawned.
The tower is in chaos due to Vishnu’s death.
The atmosphere on the 50th floor was heated as if it had nothing to do with such a complex issue.
“It’s huge.”
“They say the fighting arena in heaven has been expanded several times.”
“Does this mean that the entire inside of these walls is the venue?”
A huge screen floating in the sky was prepared for spectators who could not enter the venue.
The size of the venue was five times that of the Asgardian duel hall, so a war could be fought within it.
Inside a stadium with high walls like the Colosseum.
The first seeded participants were on top of the stadium amidst hundreds of thousands of spectators.
“There are many prominent faces.”
“There are a lot of them.”
Participants were kept at a distance from each other.
Once the match begins, it is impossible to know when the two will become enemies.
In order to avoid damage from a sudden surprise attack, a certain distance had to be maintained.
Tiring-.
It was then.
When a message arrived in my kit, I saw a number appear in the sky above the stadium, along with a familiar notification.
[1071 / 1071]
1071.
This was the number of 1st seed participants.
[The rules will now be revealed.]
The participants were amazed by the message they heard in their heads.
“Has the system already been involved?”
“I guess heaven is amazing. “If the system is already in motion after just the first competition.”
There were two cases in which the system worked.
The first was artificial intervention by managers.
In this case, it took a lot of time and points.
A huge amount of points were consumed when moving managers and errand boys.
And the second time was when an ‘incident’ occurred that was large enough for the tower to coordinate.
The tower had an arbitrary will.
An infinite and great power that sustains a hundred worlds.
It sometimes moved with will to maintain a certain order.
And although the reasons may be different in both cases, they formed a common pattern.
As long as the system is involved, the stage will take the form of a ‘test’ in some way.
[Out of 1071 participants, only 8 can advance to the next test.]
[If you faint or die, you will be eliminated from the test.]
[If you declare ‘giving up’, you will be automatically summoned out of the stadium.] [
This test does not include There are no fouls.]
[The match begins.]
Ding-!
With a sound like a bell ringing.
The participants realized the first condition for passing this competition.
There are no fouls.
That means.
‘Eight people will form a team.’
It meant that I didn’t have to take this test alone.
“Who wants to team up with me…”
“There’s no need for that.”
A
clear sound rang out.
The participants’ eyes turned to the floor where the sound came from.
A beautiful and shiny gold coin was rolling around on the floor.
And the person who dropped the expensive gold coin on the floor was.
“I will live this test.” “Are you thinking?”
In fact, he had numerous participants on his left and right with arrogant expressions and voices.
