Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 563
[Level Up with God Side Story Episode 39]
* * *
Asura, who had been sitting there until dawn, suddenly disappeared at some point.
Yuwon didn’t think the guy would have made up his mind.
Anyway, the guy lost the bet with himself.
“If you lose to me, promise me that you will not kill without my permission. “I will accept the challenge about 100 times.”
Asura was the one whose pride would have told Son Goku to go away.
The Asura Yuwon knew was a man who was willing to give up his promise even if it meant his own life.
So maybe the promise will be kept.
‘It’s surprising that it disappeared. Since you can’t kill without my permission, I thought you would accompany me for a while.’
There was no guessing where Asura went after he disappeared.
However, there was a place where I could guess the guy’s destination.
‘Is it a practice?’
The guy became discouraged from fighting himself and gave up the challenge.
It was a final defeat, but this guy is a person who walks the path of survival.
He is a guy who never stops learning and becoming stronger, so he may have learned something during this fight.
anyway.
Tsutsutsutsu-.
The sky splits apart.
I went outside to get some early morning air, but I was greeted by an unexpected guest.
“The news is quick.”
A cloud of pure white light poured down through the dark sky at dawn.
The rankers of Olympus appeared on the sun chariot.
And the warrior who leads them and sits on the throne of war and wisdom appears.
Athena.
Yuwon did not avoid her eyes looking down at him.
‘Are you here to see Hercules? Or me?’
I didn’t know what her purpose was.
Still, looking at the number of rankers accompanying them, it didn’t seem like they had any intention of fighting.
‘It doesn’t seem like there’s any hostility at all.’
but.
Yuwon felt quite a bit of doubt in her eyes as she looked at him.
‘I don’t think I came here without knowing anything.’
Thump thump-.
Heavy footsteps felt from behind.
Pandora was seen rubbing her sleepy eyes next to Hercules.
“This is my first time seeing so many customers.”
“I’m sleepy…”
Pandora, who had been dozing off while standing, leaned into Yuwon’s arms.
Feeling more comfortable now that she had a place to lean on, she closed her eyes again and fell asleep. Amid all the noise.
Hercules lifted his head to relieve his stiff body. He lifted his gaze and looked at Athena.
“Please come down, sister.”
Yuwon was startled by Hercules’ words and turned his head.
Looking at Yuwon with a surprised expression, Hercules asked,
“Why?”
“That’s right. It was my older sister.”
“Do you know that now?”
“No. I knew it originally. I forgot about it for a moment because of the face value.”
A crumpled expression.
Hercules also knew
that his face looked older than that of his other siblings, including Aphrodite and Athena.
The two seemed friendly.
Athena looked down at them for a moment and lifted the reins of the horse they were riding. He grabbed it and brought it down.
“I had a bit of trouble finding it.”
Athena looked around at the trees around her.
A world on the 38th floor filled with trees tightly packed together.
Finding Hercules there was as difficult as finding a needle in a sandy desert.
That was probably why he had a tired complexion.
“Why did you come all the way here? ”
Hercules’ eyes turned to the rankers lined up behind Athena.
“Drag the armed women over there.”
The limbs of Athena.
They were playing the same role as the Valkyries of Asgard within Olympus. A
military group made up of female warriors.
Although their numbers were small, the fact that they moved meant that it was quite a serious matter.
“I guess it’s because of them. You are like this.” “The reason for being on guard.”
“If only you had come, I would have welcomed you. As you know, I am a child given away by Olympus.”
“Don’t worry. If I was going to fight you, my father would have come himself, not those guys.”
“If you come.”
Chiji-.
A golden aura appeared in Hercules’ eyes.
“What if you come?”
Zeus.
It was Hercules who reacted particularly sensitively to that name.
And Athena said with a bitter expression on Hercules’s way of life,
“…It looks like they haven’t reconciled yet.”
“I’m not reconciling, I’m forgiving. I’m trying, so don’t rush me.”
Alcmene, the mother of Hercules.
He lost his life to Zeus’s trick a long time ago.
Although the reason was to create a complete body called Hercules, he could not easily accept Zeus as he was involved in his mother’s death. Forgiveness, not reconciliation
.
The relationship between father and son requires effort.
That was Zeus and Hercules.
“Yes, I understand. If I can, I will apologize.”
“You did it yourself.”
“Father?”
Athena’s eyes were shaking.
How long had it been since she had doubted her ears like this?
It was that much harder to believe Hercules’ words.
Zeus, who was no one else.
He was offering something like an apology to his own son.
“Otherwise I would have been stuck in Olympus somewhere. Do you want to?”
“Well, I guess so.”
“I’ll stop talking about things that aren’t pleasant. What brings you to this corner?”
“It’s not good to say it with a smile.”
Athena muttered with a bitter smile.
Even though she wasn’t treated like a guest, I thought she would welcome me a little, but
things went astray from the first meeting. It seemed like I made a mistake by not coming alone and mentioning Zeus’ name for no reason.
What’s more,
“…my father said, “He is calling.”
The words that were to be told from now on could not help but stimulate Hercules even more:
“And with interest.”
As Athena pointed to the amusement park with her, Hercules’ excitement grew.
Chijichijiji-
“What’s wrong with this guy?”
“friend?”
It didn’t feel like a simple title.
It was the same in the conversation I had with Yuwon just now.
Hercules, who had been cutting wood in the mountains without any friends, treated him like a very comfortable person.
What’s more,
“Calm down.”
Chiji Chijiji-.
Kurrrrrr-.
I can’t believe he
got this excited just by saying that he was looking for him. “I can’t do that. From today, I’m not a woodcutter, but a warrior.”
“As of today?”
The gaze shifted to Yuwon.
Seeing that gaze, Yuwon patted his forehead and sighed.
‘What is this? Are you saying you want to hide it or not?…’ He
shows a sensitive reaction to the reactions of Athena and Zeus who are looking for him. I was grateful
that he thought of me that much.
But Hercules’ words just now were no different from admitting that he had been affected by Yuwon to that extent.
Moreover,
“There is no need for that.”
Yuwon stretched out his hand and touched the shoulder of Hercules, who was standing between him and Athena.
“I was going to go anyway.”
“Where?”
“On Olympus.”
The reason he came to see Hercules was not just to borrow his power.
“Zeus, I need to see that guy’s face.”
Hercules has the second highest status in Olympus after Zeus.
He thought that entering Olympus with Hercules rather than Hargan would be more helpful in raising his voice.
“Zeus? That guy?”
Athena’s forehead twitched.
The words that came out of Yuwon’s mouth were irritating to her ears.
Their father was no different from the king of this world.
If she got away with talking carelessly about Zeus, it was no longer Athena.
“She speaks a little carelessly . “I see.”
At Athena’s point, Yuwon glared at her eyes,
“You know who I am, right?”
“Well, I haven’t really heard that name.”
“You’ll be hearing that a lot now.”
Athena glared at Yuwon with narrowed eyes.
Yuwon looked into her eyes and asked,
“Both father and daughter are suspicious.”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s okay. What should I do if I talk so long that it hurts my mouth. But…”
Ttuk-.
I loosen my knuckles and put my hand into my inventory.
“I’m going anyway, but my attitude needs to change.”
In line with Yuwon’s reaction, Athena also took out the Aigis.
“I guess that’s not what we’re talking about here.”
With that, Athena looked back at Hercules.
This fight required his permission before anyone else’s.
No matter how much Athena occupied the next position among the three gods in Olympus, she could not carelessly take out a weapon in front of Hercules.
Because he was an absolute being that even Zeus, the king of Olympus, could not do anything to.
“Do whatever you want.”
Hercules nods.
Soon, as Athena defeated the surrounding warriors and began to confront Yuwon, he smiled faintly and added,
“If I can.”
* * *
Athena stands against Yuwon.
She raised her organ, the Aegis Shield, upward.
‘Is it really interest? Kim Yu-hoon.’
On the outside, it didn’t seem like anything special.
As expected, no face came to mind even when I saw it in person.
Even after looking at his previous movements, no traces could be found.
Therefore, Athena could not easily believe it even after hearing the news about the man in front of her.
‘A ranker other than the ranking. No, he might not even be a ranker.’
It was the first time that I had encountered an opponent shrouded in mystery like this in a tower where rankings exist.
Is that why?
Zeus was even more interested in him.
“There were rumors.”
When I first heard about Hargan, I thought he was just an extraordinary guy.
Administrators will appear in the Celestial War. So I need Zeus’ help.
Ask for a thunderbolt to fall on it.
Zeus did not like such recklessness.
no.
Rather, I liked it.
A ranker cannot be anything other than an extraordinary being, but Zeus has seen countless such rankers to the point of kicking them in the foot.
However, no ranker dared to ask him this.
So Zeus wanted to know him more.
however.
“Even though he was at the lower level, he knocked down managers. Isn’t it funny? “This is a guy you can’t even find in the rankings.”
Contrary to first thought, the guy who seemed to be nothing more than a gem turned out to be no different from a fully formed star.
Defeated the manager.
That’s as many as three.
There was even an eyewitness account of Hargan, but Zeus did not believe it unless he had seen it with his own eyes.
“Is it a manager or an outer. “Or maybe it’s one of the rankers that even the management bureau couldn’t find… Or maybe it’s all just rumors.”
I need to know his identity.
So Zeus gave Athena an instruction.
“Find a guy named Kim Yu-hoon. According to Hargan’s words, his next destination will be the 38th floor.”
“What can I do when I go?”
“Bring it here.”
I will see Kim Yu-hoon in person.
Athena could not understand Zeus’s intentions at all.
“You mean as a guest? Or…”
“It doesn’t matter how or how you treat me. I’ll leave it to you to decide.”
And by all means,
Zeus would reveal his true intentions only at the end:
“It would be better if I could find out if the rumors were true.”
