Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 566
[Level Up with the Gods Side Story Episode 42]
* * *
[The activation of ‘Hand of the Thief’ is cancelled.]
Hermes captured by Yuwon.
With this current action, Yuwon has regained the godhood of Hermes, known to the world.
‘Was it a vagabond of freedom and thieves?’
Was he a thief or a thief?
I was confused for a moment, but it didn’t really matter.
What mattered was that this guy was trying to steal his item.
Wow-.
“Ugh…”
A moan escaped Hermes’ mouth due to the pressure he felt from his wrist.
“Should I break this?”
“Hermes!”
“Hey you bastard!”
Aphrodite and Dionysus jumped up from their seats due to the sudden situation.
Aside from breaking his wrist, what Hermes did just now was not something he should do to a guest, as Yuwon said.
“No matter how many shoes you were looking for, why would you do something like this to your father’s customer?”
“Yeah man. “I just broke my wrist and apologized!”
Just break your wrist.
They were a very friendly family.
Hermes screams as he is crushed by Dionysus and Aphrodite.
The two of them were busy keeping an eye on Yuwon and Hercules.
Yuwon came as a guest of Zeus.
And even Hercules, who ranks second in Olympus, or in the entire tower.
Hermes’ actions just now were enough to offend those two people.
“Zeus is inside.”
At that time, Hades, who was drinking tea in one corner, pointed to the inside of the temple with a nod.
“Go and meet him.”
Hercules finished his greeting by briefly bowing his head and passed by.
The same goes for Yuwon and Pandora, who weren’t particularly interested in wrists.
As Yuwon walked like that, he looked back at the place that had become noisy due to Hermes.
‘The high rankers of Olympus gathered in one place.’
Like most rankers, Olympus high rankers had particularly strong individualistic tendencies.
Even though they were connected by a single blood line, there was only one case where they came together.
It was only when Zeus summoned him.
‘There are only a handful of times that Olympus has gathered in one place, including Gigantomachia. But that’s because it’s now.’
It’s probably not a coincidence.
Yuwon walked inside with Hercules.
Jump and jump -.
Only the sound of footsteps echoed in the hallway with the high ceiling.
Pandora, who was slowly following next to him, tugged on Yuwon’s collar.
Feeling that his fingertips were trembling, Yuwon turned to Pandora and held her hands.
“Do you want to stay here?”
“…no.”
“Are you going to be okay?”
Pandora nodded.
The reply was a little late. It seemed like it was quite difficult to make a decision.
I tried to persuade him, but stopped. Because she has already made her decision.
It wasn’t just a moment ago.
All the way here.
She remained silent even though she knew she would meet Zeus.
It was a decision I made after thinking about it for a long time.
It was impossible for him to shake that.
Tweet Tweet-.
I heard birdsong while going to the center of the temple.
And the sound of water and the cool breeze passing by my face.
‘We’ve arrived.’
I only heard about it, but it was Yuwon’s first time coming here.
Zeus’s abode.
A place where the sky is clear and a pond flows with grass.
“Are you here?”
Zeus asked, sitting on the edge of the pond.
With his still golden hair and handsome middle-aged face, Zeus looked at Yuwon and greeted him.
“Kim Yu-won.”
* * *
It was early morning on the 90th floor.
Under the window where the moonlight falls.
Varuna sat for a long time, lowering his head and pressing the area between his eyebrows.
His mind was filled with the stories he shared with Yama.
“You mean Kim Yu-hoon?”
Kim Yu-hoon is Kim Yu-won.
Yama looked in disbelief at Varuna’s explanation.
“…That really happened?”
“Have you ever thought it was strange?”
“You think it’s strange?”
“but. So did I. “It’s not that strange, I’ve never even thought about it.”
If you think about it, traces of Yuwon remained throughout the tower.
Unlike Daeva, who was relatively unrelated, there were many incidents related to him in Olympus and Asgard.
but.
No one tried to remember or think about Yuwon.
“Probably, even if I say this now, no one will think of it. “Until you get beaten to death once.”
“No matter what, I still can’t believe it.”
“You probably won’t believe it until you see it with your own eyes.”
“Can we meet?”
It was a difficult question.
Strictly speaking, Varuna only knew who Yuwon was, but they were not that close to him.
Fortunately, I received a reply to my text message asking if I could visit.
Do whatever you want.
‘I guess I’ll have to meet him first.’
Just today.
Varuna decided to go see Yuwon even if it was by herself.
The destination has been decided. It was the 66th floor where Olympus was located.
‘Are you trying to meet Zeus?’
It was a good move.
Even if the world didn’t remember him, if he was as talented as Yuwon, Zeus had no choice but to recognize him.
Moreover, Olympus is a guild known as the best among existing guilds.
The influence of its owner, Zeus, extended throughout the tower.
‘In that case…’
Daeva should also lend a hand there.
Sigh-.
Varuna, who had been lost in thought under the moonlight, stood up.
From now on, I couldn’t just chase after women.
That peaceful era was over, and now that peace had to be fought and won again.
The resolution is over.
I am prepared to have all my future actions stained with blood.
Just like that.
The moment Varuna gets up from her seat and goes out the door.
“Where are we going?”
A familiar voice reached Varuna’s ears.
“Varuna.”
Varuna raised her head and saw a man in white sitting on a tree.
“Bayu?”
“You’re moving early. “It doesn’t suit you.”
This is something I can say because I know Varuna’s personality of sleeping a lot.
However, it was quite strange for him to be here at this time.
“Then why are you here?”
“I just can’t sleep.”
“Don’t say anything gross. “I can’t sleep, why are you in front of my house-”
While speaking, something stuttered.
A word passed through Varuna’s head.
“There is a traitor inside the deva.”
A traitor.
A Deva ranker who leaked Vishnu’s information to the administrator and helped lead to his death.
‘Perhaps?’
The question mark that appeared in his mind quickly expanded in size.
At the same time, cold sweat began to flow down Varuna’s face.
Sigh… Just
as he was thinking about what might happen, Varuna moved one hand behind his back and began to slowly increase his magic power.
“Bayou.”
“huh?”
“Just in case. I’m really asking just in case-.”
Varuna’s eyes sparkle blue in the moonlight.
“Are you planning on just going back?”
At that question, Bayu smiled.
With a face I had never seen before.
“No.”
Whoa!
The wind blew towards Varuna and hit him.
“Nothing at all.”
Grrr-.
The water curtain raised by Varuna shook.
If I hadn’t prepared in advance, it would have been difficult to react.
“…I blocked it.”
“Bayu-!”
When what seemed unlikely turned out to be true, Varuna created a water bow, aimed it at him, and asked,
“Why on earth are you doing that!”
“Why are you asking what you know? “Didn’t Yama already say that?”
“So you’re saying it’s really true?”
Wow!
Toukagagak-.
Due to the impact of the collision between Varuna’s arrow and Vayu’s regime, the tree on which Vayu was sitting shattered and disappeared.
Varuna moved by stepping on the roof, and Bayu quickly closed the distance.
Geuggeukgeuk-.
A bowstring pulled tautly.
The moment I was about to fly it toward the bayou, my fingers hesitated for just a moment.
And that moment.
Huuuk-.
“You’re so back, Baruna.”
Vayu’s hand, which had narrowed the distance in front of our noses thanks to the wind, came into close contact with Varuna’s body.
Tuhwaak-!
The wind that passed through Varuna’s body pressed down on the ground.
At the same time as he let out a scream, Varuna snapped his fingers.
Left!
A column of water rising above the ground.
Pushing away Vayu’s magical power, Varuna quickly climbed up the water pillar and soared high into the sky.
“Huu hu-.”
Sweat broke out on Varuna’s forehead.
Because I suddenly used a skill that consumed a lot of magical power, my stamina dropped sharply.
A moment of hesitation caused a lot of damage.
“But I got out of it alright.”
“Why you, Bayou?”
“Why? “Is there anyone among us who has not received grace from Lord Vishnu?”
“At that time, you stopped me when I was angry with Yama. “We were all angry at the manager!”
“I enjoyed it. “Because it was sincere.”
“But why!”
“Varuna.”
There was bitterness on Bayou’s face.
“Even though we are high rankers and all, we are also nothing more than accessories to the tower. Even if its lifespan is infinite, it is still a tiny creature that will die someday.”
“so?”
“It means that being on the side that wins is a natural instinct for survival.”
“Does this mean that you betrayed Lord Vishnu just because you wanted to live now? “Who saved your life when you were already dead!”
lang syne.
The ranks of Devas, including Varuna and Vayu, had been saved by Vishnu.
Ananta.
It was Vishnu who saved Varuna and Vayu, who lost their family and friends from the monster.
Because of this, Vayu and Varuna together swore allegiance to Vishnu.
Deva was their home and family.
At least Varuna thought so.
“I am grateful. but.”
however.
“But that doesn’t mean we can all die together?”
Apparently, that was Varuna’s only idea.
Jeopuk-.
Vayu approaches towards Varuna.
He continued speaking with a bitter expression and voice.
“The tower lost King Odin in a fight ten years ago. “The Demon King and Sky lost half of their power, and Daeva lost several high rankers, including Kubera.”
I couldn’t forget it.
That day ten years ago.
It was the first war in the tower’s long history where several large guilds joined forces to fight.
How many high rankers died at that time, including Odin?
After that day, about 30% of the rankers registered in the rankings disappeared, so there was no need to say anything about the devastation.
“We have been continually weakened by the fight against the Outers and by foolish schemes of chaos.”
“What do you want to say?”
“About five years ago? The manager came to see me. “Now they are trying to find what is theirs again.”
As if recalling the events of that day, Bayou raised his head and looked at the sky somewhere and continued.
“We cannot win. “With only us remaining…”
But.
“What? Five years ago?”
Varuna was actually more concerned about something else than Bayu’s next words.
‘Five years. Five years…’
How long had it been since they had forgotten him?
When their thoughts reached that point, they snickered.
Laughter burst out in a way that did not suit the situation.
” hey.”
To Vayu, who was in the midst of reciting something from the past, Varuna said with a hint of laughter,
“You calculated wrong.”
Probably no, I’m sure.
Bayou didn’t remember him.
