Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 546

[Level Up with the Gods Side Story Episode 22]

* * *

The highest place in Olympus.

There was a person walking towards a foggy temple above dreamy clouds.

Chuck Chuck-.

The heavy armor shook with every step.

Holding the strengthened Aegis in her hand, Athena looked at the great structure that had appeared before her.

“It’s been a while.”

The one who ascended to the throne of heaven.

The palace where Zeus resides.

It was bigger and more luxurious than the castle of a fairly large guild, so it was a place for just one person.

Zeus, the owner of that palace, had long placed great importance on his dignity.

And the grandeur of the palace was the starting point for that.

“Wait here.”

“yes.”

“Please come back.”

chuck-.

The two rankers, wearing armor with the same design as Athena, each put their weapons in their inventory and waited in front of the palace.

Even if a thousand of those rankers gathered together, they would not be a threat to Zeus, but it was against etiquette to enter the palace with an armed ranker.

So Athena returned to Zeus’s palace after nearly ten years.

“Are you here?”

The center of the palace.

The sky was wide open and there was a small pond and koi fish below.

Zeus was sitting on the edge of the pond, leisurely throwing food to the carp.

Who would believe it?

That this leisurely figure is the greatest being in a tower made up of 100 worlds.

“Yes father.”

“The fact that you came here again means that the peaceful times are over.”

“Is it because I am a symbol of fighting?”

“It is a symbol of keeping peace.”

An unexpected answer.

Athena, who was kneeling down on one knee and bowing politely, raised her head and looked at Zeus.

The words were blunt as usual, but somehow felt warm.

‘Is it comfort?’

She knew it too.

The fact that he came here to meet Zeus again was a sign that another big fight would begin.

That’s why Athena’s step was important.

The world trembled with anxiety as she took her steps.

It was like that until now.

Very few people in Olympus know that she visits this place.

That was the reason why there were only two rankers accompanying him.

“Is it because of the manager?”

“Vishnu is dead.”

Not long ago, Zeus visited Deva to pay tribute to Vishnu.

“I guess you can say the sword has already been drawn.”

“I don’t think an all-out war will break out right away.”

“Everyone is scared because the opponent is strong. “If everyone calls you a manager, doesn’t that make you want to hide in a rat hole?”

“Since Lord Vishnu has passed away… it has to be that way.”

Vishnu was once the king who ruled this tower.

Vishnu’s death was enough to make many guilds shrink.

“Just do what you want to believe. “Vishnu’s death was just a personal feud between the manager and Vishnu.”

“If you want to believe it, you have to let it happen.”

“Aren’t you going to convene the guilds again?”

“Your brother will take care of that. “Once is enough for me.”

Zeus was the king of a large guild called Olympus, but he had quite individualistic tendencies.

Zeus thought he had done enough just by convening the guilds once.

It was their fault if they were not alert to what was going to happen from now on.

“Then the reason you called me…”

“Tell this to the others. Be ready to fight at any time.”

Olympus enters a state of war.

No matter when and where a fight breaks out, thousands of sun chariots will be dispatched, and the rankers of Olympus and their affiliated guilds scattered throughout the country will join forces. And the one who commands them is Athena

.

He was a high ranker who symbolized ‘war’ in Olympus.

“I will follow your orders.”

Athena’s eyes burned fiercely as she lowered her head and raised her fist to her chest.

If the previous 10 years had been a more peaceful time than ever, now was the time to prepare for war again. Just like that,

at Zeus’ command, Athena When I was making up my mind,

‘Are you laughing?’

Zeus, who was looking at the kit, saw the corners of his mouth turn up.

He rarely smiled, but he smiled, which was rare.

“Is something fun happening?”

“ah-.”

Zeus answered without turning his eyes to Athena,

“It’s been a while since I contacted you from Hargan.”

“To Hargan?”

It was an answer that didn’t make much sense.

Zeus was far from being a fool like his son.

To him, his children were just excellent bloodlines to keep Olympus strong. No matter

how much Hargan has been rising in the rankings at a rapid pace recently, the same is true. That

would mean that the content of the contact was more interesting than the subject of the contact.

“I understand that he is currently participating in the Celestial War.”

“It looks like they are keeping an eye on the youngest.”

“Aren’t you a strong candidate to succeed your father along with Hercules?”

“Have you given up?”

“I know my craft well. I am not greedy.”

“Right.”

The next generation of Olympus.

Hargan and Hercules were clearly the best lineage that Zeus created for that purpose.

However,

none of them caught Zeus’s eye yet.

“If they are better than me, I should pass it on. That day.” “I don’t know if it will come.”

In terms of strength alone, Hercules was already a passing score.

However, he had a personality that was too gentle to be a king.

Hargan was the complete opposite.

He was born with the qualities to become a king and resembled Zeus more than anyone else.

However, he was still a ranker . Hargan, who had not been born for a long time, lacked strength. It would have been

great to just mix the two half and half, but that was not a wish in vain.

“I got a call from that guy. To be precise, I have a favor to ask from the guy next to me. Even more.”

“A favor? To your father?”

The moment I heard the story, I thought Athena was such a big guy.

Even though it was through Hargan, he asked a favor from Zeus and no one else.

“It’s a nameless guy named Kim Yu-hoon. I looked up the rankings and it didn’t even have a name.”

“Then the guy who isn’t even a ranker yet… to my father…”

I couldn’t close my mouth due to the absurdity.

I wondered what had happened to this guy’s liver, but the contents were even more shocking.

“He asked me to drop lightning on the Celestial War Stadium.”

“yes?”

“Are you surprised? I had the same reaction as you at first. It was absurd. “I wonder if he’s crazy.”

If it had been a half-hearted request, it would have been rather unpleasant.

He wondered if he had dared to speak to him through Hargan just to ask for such a favor, and he might have even tried to drop lightning on the guy’s head.

However, the request embarrassed Zeus.

I want you to drop lightning on the stadium where the Celestial War is taking place.

Who else in the world would ask such a crazy request?

“But I like this guy. Bold and fearless. “I don’t mind any means.”

I thought that even if he didn’t show up in the rankings, he would definitely become big.

I haven’t even seen his face yet, but I’m already lusting after him. It’s been a while since I became curious about someone.

“Now all that’s left is the result.”

“Why do we need lightning?”

“I didn’t ask.”

“Do you believe him?”

“no.”

“Then…” “

Isn’t there a Hargan over there?”

Hargan’s text message sent to the kit.

The text, which contained every detail of the situation, showed signs of having been erased and rewritten several times.

“I plan to test both on this occasion. In any case, it was Hargan who conveyed this request to me. Ini.”

“It’s impossible.”

Athena shook her head resolutely.

“It is not only the rankers in the arena of the Heavenly World War. It also includes players from lower tiers and the inhabitants of the heavenly world who live there.”

The Celestial War was a kind of festival.

A festival in which all players and residents from the 50th to 100th floors could participate.

Throwing a lightning bolt at that place was tantamount to antagonizing them all.

And the result was-

“No matter what , “Even if you were my father, you would be subject to a penalty if you threw lightning there without any conditions.”

It immediately leads to a penalty.

Of course, there was no way Zeus would be scared by such a trivial penalty.

However, if the number went beyond hundreds or thousands to tens of thousands, the story was different.

“That’s a problem that Hargan guy has to solve. ”

“If you say it’s resolved….”

“This is a situation where there wouldn’t be a problem even if I threw a thunderbolt. “If he asked me this favor without even considering that, it must be because he lacks eyesight.”

From Zeus’ words, Athena realized what he meant by ‘test’.

If Hargan lacks the ability to see people, that is a problem.

This is because they escalated the matter without even checking how trustworthy the player named Kim Yu-hoon was.

Also, if they couldn’t create a situation where they could throw lightning after making this request, it could be seen as a lack of ability on their part.

“If the situation is created and Hargan is being used by him, what will you do?”

Athena wanted to stop Zeus somehow.

No matter how you think about it, dropping lightning in the middle of a heavenly war was a dangerous thing that could easily lead to the death of many rankers.

but.

“If that happens, the damage will be suffered by Heaven. Unfortunately.”

Zeus wasn’t the type of person to think about such things together in the first place.

“But isn’t that none of my business?”

“….”

Athena could say nothing more.

If there was a situation where he could throw a thunderbolt, Zeus was the one who could throw the thunderbolt at the center of the heavens without hesitation.

The damage that would occur and the people who would die as a result were not subjects of much consideration to Zeus.

Athena had forgotten.

The fact that his roots were tyrants.

* * *

[Zeus: I understand.]

Short answer.

Yuwon smiled after checking the text through Hargan.

‘The fundamentals don’t change.’

This was a request that could not be made to anyone else.

It was natural.

How many people have gathered here at the Grand Battle of the Heavenly World?

Normally, if you were asked to attack a place like this, you would definitely be pointed at as crazy.

But Zeus was not ordinary.

His roots are tyrants.

For him, who was willing to use any means necessary to achieve his goal, the limitations of being at the heart of heaven did not seem to matter much.

“I really didn’t know this would work.”

Hargan, who actually sent the text, reacted in a dazed way, as if he had no idea that permission would be given.

She couldn’t believe her father, who, to put it mildly, wouldn’t move, could move so easily.

Hargan looked at Yuwon with a complicated expression.

With this, Yoo Won convinced two people at once.

“Do you have any faith now?”

“…okay.”

Now that it was like this, I couldn’t help but believe it.

“You can’t say it with just one mouthful.”

From the beginning, he had promised to believe Yuwon’s words if Zeus gave him permission.

Otherwise, the story seemed too absurd to believe Yuwon’s words.

Hargan sighed and looked up at the ceiling.

Heavenly War.

A great festival that determines the general of heaven, one of the main axes of a large guild.

It’s still hard to believe it all, but if Yuwon says it, this competition is.

“…I really don’t know if an administrator will show up at this competition.”

It was going to be a mess soon.
