Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 548
[Level Up with the Gods Side Story Episode 24]
* * *
The location where the main battle of the Heavenly World War begins.
Lee Rang-jin muttered in a space overlooking the stadium.
“A great guy participated.”
Participants appear one by one.
The selection of participants, which consisted of a total of 64 people, was based on who survived until the end.
The only criterion for winning is strength.
But in Lee Rang-jin’s eyes, the winner was already clearly visible.
“Are you talking about Asura?”
Lee Rang-jin nodded to the question of another general standing next to him.
“of course.”
“Even though it’s at the end, it’s a single-digit high ranker.”
Asura’s ranking, which was originally 10th, rose one level to 9th with the death of Vishnu.
Even though the increase in the ranking was created because one position was vacant, the meaning of a single digit ranking was different.
Moreover, the meaning of the ranking held by Asura, who did not belong to any force, also meant that he had a power equivalent to that of a large guild through his individual power.
“The problem is his violence.”
Asura.
His name was used like a pronoun.
Whether on a bloody battlefield or to a murderer who kills people like a demon.
The name Ashura was suitable for a place with such a violent scent.
“I wonder if it will be beneficial or detrimental when the author becomes general…”
“It doesn’t matter, does it?”
Jeop-.
Lee Rang-jin turned his head at the unexpected sign of popularity.
A voice that was thick and scratchy in some way.
A benevolent, soft, yet firm voice underneath.
I had forgotten it for a while.
It had been so long.
“Taesangno-gun…?”
“You don’t even kneel anymore.”
An old man with a long white beard and supporting his body with a cane.
He gave off an air that made one think that a immortal had come down from the sky. He was Taesangnogun, who did not appear even during the Great War of the Heavens waged by Jecheon Daeseong and Pyeongcheon Daeseong. “He will soon become Sangje, but he is not yet
. “I guess.”
“Meet Taesangno.”
“Meet Taesangno!”
The general next to him along with Lee Rang-jin also knelt down.
Because he had been silent for so long, there were currently more people in heaven who did not know the face of Taesangno than those who knew him. The
general who knelt along with Lee Rang-jin’s reaction I glanced up and looked at Taesangno.
‘Is that him, Taesangno?’
He was a legendary figure.
If he had not been registered in the rankings, most people would have been certain that he had already died.
Nevertheless, Taesangnogun’s status in the heavenly world was not much different from that of the Jade Emperor.
“It’s been a long time. “Elderly.”
“That kid has grown up a lot. It seems like only yesterday that he became a general…”
“It was the past.”
“Hold your head up so stiffly. “It’s something to live for a long time.”
It was just a few words.
Lee Rang-jin lifted his head from his kneeling position and immediately began to read Taesangno’s intentions.
How did he get here?
Whether the intention will be beneficial or detrimental to heaven, etc.
Time had passed so quickly that Taesangno could no longer be seen as benevolent as before.
“How did you get out?”
“The museum is closed.”
Closed.
Taesangnogun did not hold any official position.
Nevertheless, the reason why he had as much influence in heaven as the Jade Emperor was because he was the teacher of the previous Jade Emperor.
He had been in the closed room for a long time.
There is only one purpose.
It was to transcend one’s limitations and rise to a higher level.
“Have you had satisfactory results?”
“okay.”
A faint smile appeared on Taesangno’s lips.
“You have crossed the border.”
“…Did you?”
Lee Rang-jin took a moment to read Taesangno’s energy.
He couldn’t feel anything around him.
If anyone sees him, they will never see him as anything more than an ordinary old man.
“When I came out and looked around the world for a while, I found out that there was something called the Great War in Heaven.”
As soon as Taesangno came out, he looked back at the past world.
What happened while he was in the closed building?
“That was funny. The heavens are turned upside down by just two monsters, and the Jade Emperor dies. “Now, you have been chosen as the next Jade Emperor.”
“…It’s because I’m not good enough.”
“okay. Not enough. It was far from enough. “But the Jade Emperor is the one who is not good enough to be a general?”
The sound of laughter filled the room.
Taesangno soon turned around and left the place.
‘We should be happy about the old man’s return…’
Prince Lee Rangjin’s gaze follows behind Prince Taesangno.
‘Why am I so anxious?’
Lee Rang-jin felt strangely uneasy at the sight of Taesangno, who seemed to have become a completely different person.
This is when the finals of the Heavenly World War, which determines the next general, begin.
Prince Lee Rangjin had no idea whether to welcome the sudden appearance of Prince Taesangno or not.
“General.”
When you are momentarily mesmerized by the appearance of Taesangno.
“You must go now.”
Before we knew it, the start time for the finals was fast approaching.
Lee Rang-jin nodded and started walking towards the bottom of the stadium.
Whatever it is.
Only after successfully completing this competition will there be a next time in heaven.
* * *
The group, including Yuwon, came up to the stadium of the Heavenly World War.
The stadium was noisy.
This was due to the cheers of the numerous spectators who filled the place.
“Asura-!”
“I bet everything on you!”
“I’m all in with Tsukuyomi!”
“Milk-colored Tsukuyomi! buy! with! sun! yo. this! Tsuku….”
As with any competition, the most enjoyable part of the game was betting.
The money that was wagered on each participant.
From Asura, the strong candidate for the winner, to Tsukuyomi Iye, there were overflowing voices cheering for them.
“There are so many fans.”
Most of the voices were cheering for Ashura and Tsukuyomi.
Even though Ashura was a strong candidate for the championship with a single-digit ranking, Tsukuyomi seemed to have more simple fan support. It was
natural.
She, who was a mystic to begin with, would appear at an official event like this. It was almost the first time that I showed my support.
“I’m embarrassed to cheer.”
Slowly, Lee Ye came to Yuwon’s side.
Sigh…
Putting his arm around her shoulder, he asked in a quiet voice.
“Isn’t that right?”
‘Is it a threat?’
There was no particular sense of hostility.
Yuwon released Lee Ye’s arm from around his shoulder and replied,
“I guess they’re not particularly popular.”
“You don’t know me very well yet. It doesn’t really matter.”
“You must be young.”
“Should we finish talking about what we said before?”
“Elixir?”
“okay.”
Lee Ye’s eyes changed.
Elixir.
If only he could obtain it, Lee Ye was ready to risk his life.
“I don’t know what the conditions are, but as long as you tell me the method you know…”
“I’ll tell you when the competition is over.”
“uh?”
Is it because it was an unexpected answer?
Lee Ye felt a moment of doubt at the answer that he would so obediently hand over information about the elixir.
‘Was it a lie?’
What is elixir?
There was no way I could just tell you how to obtain that heavenly elixir.
I thought there must be some different conditions for Lee Ye.
“Doesn’t that sound like a lie?”
Yuwon’s words seemed to see right through my heart.
“Anyway, when it’s all over, you’ll realize it’s not the case. “Just try to survive first.”
“what?”
“I’ll let you know if I can survive. Of course, if you want to do that, you can’t run away.”
“What on earth do you mean?”
Ignoring Lee Ye’s urging for an answer, Yuwon glanced down at the kit.
‘Did something go wrong? ‘Why is there no news?’
Several days have already passed.
There was no news from Son Goku, who was said to contact me as soon as he arrived.
It wasn’t every day or two that he didn’t keep his promise, but I thought this was a bit harsh.
Until now, I wasn’t too worried because it was Son Goku and no one else.
‘If something goes wrong…’
The vibration of the kit rings at that moment.
Yuwon hurriedly checked the text message that had arrived in the kit.
[Son Goku: Oh, sorry. It was late.]
Yuwon sighed in relief.
The fact that the text message arrived meant that the situation wasn’t that urgent.
In order for the kit to operate, the surrounding horsepower had to be stable.
[Son Goku: We will arrive there soon. Get ready. Oh, and this is also pretty fun?]
It seemed like I could hear Son Goku’s giggling laughter through the text message.
‘After looking at the details, it looks like they’ve already started…’
The call came too late.
Thinking that he was a fool for trusting Son Goku, Yuwon looked around the stadium, including the stands.
‘I guess this is also starting soon.’
Giiing-.
Golden, sparkling eyes.
With his foresight eyes shining.
* * *
Dust clouds formed in the otherwise clear sky.
On top of a tall hill.
Goku picked his ears and put the text-sent kit back into his inventory.
“Did I play around too much? “I think it’s a little late…”
Son Goku was worried for a moment that Yuwon might scold him, but soon erased the complicated thoughts from his mind.
“No problem. I’ll take care of it.”
Son Goku, who had been dissatisfied until just yesterday, looked in a good mood. It was
natural.
He couldn’t even remember how long it had been since he last had such an exciting fight.
“Off…”
At the bottom of the hill where Son Goku was sitting.
Goku’s ears perked up when he heard a faint groan.
A pile of corpses of errand boys sitting on their butts.
Son Goku stood up and asked with a happy expression.
“What are you alive?”
A manager-level errand boy of the management bureau.
His name was Horan.
A management bureau where the manager has not left.
More than 10,000 errand boys remained there.
Goku fought them alone.
Horan, a general manager-level errand boy, brought other errand boys to try to stop Son Goku, but despite the fight lasting for two days, Son Goku showed no signs of getting tired.
“Suddenly… what… is this…”
“You guys were the ones who started the fight first, right?”
Hwareuk-.
Son Goku’s eyes, burning with Hwaan Geumjeong, were sharply curved.
“Why did you kill Vishnu?”
Vishnu’s death ignited a fire in Son Goku’s heart that had been extinguished for a while.
The moment he heard the news, unlike in the future, the thought of protecting his comrade was completely shattered. The thought of taking out his anger on
someone made his body itch day after day, and he could not bear it.
“I don’t know what you want. Yuwon will think about that. But that’s true.”
Sigh.
With sharp bristled nails, Goku grabbed Horan’s head.
“Since you have touched us, you will all die by my hands.”
“Now… soon… he… will… come… then… “You too…”
Pww!
His head was crushed by the force of his grip.
Son Goku muttered as he threw his head and body, which were shattered like crushed flesh, on the floor.
“So.”
At the same time, Son Goku’s head rose upward.
The blue light of the sky, which had been hidden by a dust cloud, shined down on Son Goku.
With the wind blowing away the dust cloud, a knight riding a horse wearing steel armor appeared. The
managers’ appearance . Everyone said they were different.
Grinning.
The corners of his mouth naturally went up due to excitement.
Through the Hwaan Geumjeong, I could clearly see the flow of mana surrounding his body.
Mana flowing leisurely like a living creature.
You can clearly tell by looking at that. “You’re here
, manager.”
