Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 568
[Level Up with the Gods Side Story Episode 44]
* * *
Cryrrrrrr-.
The teacup was filled.
The clutter from just moments ago disappeared somewhere and a leisurely tea time spot was created.
Hercules looked shocked as he looked at Zeus brewing and pouring the tea himself.
“Drink.”
“Did you… like the car? “I remember you enjoyed drinking more.”
“I don’t enjoy drinking that much. “You drink it because you need it, not because you like it.”
Zeus, who savors the scent of tea.
It was a sight you wouldn’t believe if you hadn’t seen it in person.
Hercules sat down in a cramped chair and reached out to pick up a teacup.
A teacup picked up with a finger.
Since it looked just like a miniature toy, Hercules put down the teacup again.
Zeus looked around at the three people, including Hercules.
Apart from himself, none of the other three people drank tea.
“Don’t you all drink it? “It smells good.”
“I’m afraid it might have been poisoned.”
“The glass is small.”
“Tsk.”
Zeus put down his teacup as Pandora timidly pretended to spit.
“I should have brought alcohol instead.”
“Is the spot where you were hit okay?”
When Hercules asked, Zeus answered by stroking the spot where he had been hit by the avenger.
“There was some bleeding, but it’s okay. “I don’t feel very good, though.”
“Honestly, I’m surprised. “I thought you would be very angry.”
“It’s not a bad business for just one car. “It’s a hundred times, a thousand times better than turning on a guy like that.”
The reason why Zeus did not get angry despite the unexpected punch.
That was because Pandora ‘calculated’ her own hatred and Yuwon’s anger.
He was a more calculating person than anyone else.
He weighed the profits and losses and controlled his emotions more rationally than anyone else.
Yuwon appears with Pandora.
Zeus thought after confirming the relationship between the two.
It wouldn’t be a bad idea if Yu-won’s anger could be alleviated by giving him a gentle slap.
In response to Zeus’ answer, Hercules looked at Yuwon, who poured the tea in Pandora’s cup onto the floor.
He told me not to eat these things and instead gave me the chocolate I was carrying in my inventory.
‘Does that mean you acknowledge this guy that much?’
A person who does not want to turn even Zeus, who had more subversive tendencies than anyone else, into an enemy.
The only being who brought Zeus, the king of Olympus, down to earth.
‘but.’
It wasn’t an unconvincing story.
‘Of course it has to be that way.’
Zeus was not stupid enough to turn him into an enemy just because his pride was slightly cracked and crumpled.
Next to him was Hercules. There was Jecheon Daeseong and there was Pandora.
And above all, Yuwon was stronger than anyone Hercules knew.
Even if the entire Olympus moves, there is no way to be sure what can be done about him.
one.
It was only one.
If Yuwon’s mood could be eased to that extent, Zeus was a person who would gladly welcome him.
Of course, Yuwon knew that too, so he waved his fist freely.
“It was like treating a guest. “Tell me what you called me for.”
“Didn’t you come to see me on some business too?”
The words of Yuwon and Zeus clashed.
A situation where both parties have business with each other.
After the conversation stopped for a moment, Yuwon finally shrugged his shoulders and said.
“Well, the order doesn’t matter. Do it first.”
“How much do you know about managers?”
A question that came to me as soon as I could get the words out of my mouth.
Yuwon frowned at the reaction that seemed like he had been waiting.
“Why is it so dark all of a sudden?”
“You definitely know. Otherwise, there’s no way you’d show up like this first.”
I couldn’t hide it from his know-it-all tone.
“I know.”
Of course, I didn’t intend to reveal everything.
“At least those guys are not as big a deal as I thought.”
“Are you planning on hiding it?”
“Neither you nor I are the type to work as a team. “I will give you the information you need, but I have no intention of solving everything.”
Zeus is a dangerous being.
That’s a lot more than any number of managers.
There was no harm in being cautious, as even Mimir, who was no one else, judged him as incapable of knowing everything that was going through his head.
“The most important thing is, of course… the nature of the magical power they possess.”
“Property?”
“Long ago, managers made a contract with a being. That’s how they gained the ability to use mana like limbs.”
A total of one hundred and one managers.
They lured players into this tower and used the system to drag them to higher parts of the tower.
Therefore, most players regarded their existence as if they were gods.
but.
“Other than that, there’s nothing special about being a manager. “It’s just that they are a little stronger than the average rankers.”
It’s not like God.
no.
All beings who have achieved godhood and divine status by creating their own myths should be considered gods.
If so, the top rankers should already be considered to be on the same level as managers.
“That might be the problem. “For those guys.”
“Right.”
“…?”
“…?”
Hercules and Pandora looked confused.
The two did not understand Zeus, who nodded, saying, ‘I see.’
‘What on earth does that mean?’
For the two people who couldn’t understand what was being said at once, Zeus put down the tea cup and added,
“As time goes by, the players’ power has become stronger. Even though I’m the only one right now, I’m not that scared of the managers, so they’re feeling it too. “I guess.”
“Ah…”
Hercules nodded at that explanation.
“The player is surpassing the managers…”
Those who had been under them until now began to feel like a threat.
Even Hercules himself felt the same way.
At what point did it start?
Hercules was a manager who felt like heaven. I didn’t think it was that big of a deal.
“Is there a different strategy?”
“It’s not like they don’t exist at all. Anyway, the abilities they have are ultimately in the form of skills.”
“How do you know that?”
“I have that too.”
Giiiiing… A
light sky-blue mana bead appeared on Yuwon’s outstretched palm.
Magical power tightly packed together like a smooth glass bead.
[Manapo]
It was too basic of a skill to be seen now.
Like Lee Seong-yoon, Manapo is a talented player. There were times when he learned it from a ramen tutorial.
But what Yuwon wanted to see now was not a simple mana cannon.
“Light sky blue. It is the most basic color of mana. And as you know, mana cannons can change into any attribute depending on the nature of magical power. “Yes.” A sphere of
magic
burning like a flame.
“Fire or something.”
Chijijiji-!
Lightning layered on fire.
“Either lightning.”
Gooooo-.
Bubble-.
“Be it darkness or water.”
“Wow….”
“It’s pretty-.”
Unlike Pandora, whose eyes sparkled, Hercules and Zeus opened their mouths at the scene unfolding before them for different reasons.
Manaphorani is a mixture of magical powers of four attributes.
Just two things are surprising, but the magical powers of four properties that cannot be mixed together were mixed together.
‘Is it the property that water and fire can mix with each other?’
Unlike other rankers, Hercules was not very well versed in the properties of magic.
But even Hercules could understand how great what was unfolding before his eyes was.
Paang-.
The mana cannon exploded and the magic of the four attributes scattered and rose into the sky.
Zeus was equally surprised.
“It’s roughly like this. Of course, their skill level is much lower than those who have been dealing with this their entire lives.”
Ordinary rankers, no matter how much they had, could only handle two attributes of magical power.
Moreover, even he is not very efficient, so most of the time, like Zeus or Surt, he only sticks to one attribute of magical power.
Nevertheless, Yuwon has been able to use several magical attributes at the level of a top high ranker.
“I was wondering how to handle all the magic of so many attributes… but now I understand.”
Magic power used by managers.
If you know how to use it, you can understand the understanding and control of magical power that Yuwon has shown so far.
“There are definitely limits to the type of skill. “The last fight confirmed that too.”
“The last fight was in heaven?”
“okay.”
“so? “What did you check?”
“Skills that strengthen weapons or the body are more effective. If you release magical energy directly and shoot it out, the effect will be halved. And that means.”
Yuwon’s eyes turned to Hercules and Pandora.
“It means that close combat is more advantageous in fighting against these guys.”
At those words, Hercules looked back at Zeus, hiding his surprised expression.
‘If the form of shooting magical power directly is disadvantageous, it is my father’s natural enemy.’
Zeus’ position was that of a spear keeper.
He was a high ranker who could throw a more powerful spear from a greater distance than anyone else.
On the other hand, Hercules was capable of stronger close combat than anyone else.
‘There’s a reason why this guy came to me right after the battle in Heaven.’
Anyway, not so good news for Zeus.
But unexpectedly, Zeus’ reaction was quite calm.
“Good information. “I’ll pass it on to you.”
“Don’t just share it with Olympus, pass it on to other guilds as well.”
“I guess I’ll figure it out somehow. Rather, how do you know about something like this?”
“I knew it when I hit it myself.”
“I don’t think that’s all.”
“If you’re curious, find out for yourself.”
Zeus grinned at Yuwon’s attitude, saying,
“As expected, I like this because it’s so annoying.”
While reigning as the king of Olympus, Zeus met many rankers.
Among them, there were those who could exchange words and actions on an equal footing with Zeus.
Great beings such as Odin and Vishnu.
However, none of them were Yuwon. It didn’t give off the same feeling as
‘As expected, you are different.’
The same kind.
It was the feeling Zeus got from Yuwon.
I didn’t
feel frustrated when I talked to him. It was the first time since Odin that I felt like we could communicate.
Everyone in this world felt like a doll.
Ignorant and the same.
Intelligence and ego. There seemed to be no difference between the falling monsters and the rankers standing at the top of the tower, except that they both knew how to speak. So Zeus
sowed his seed.
The great kingdom he founded on this tower
was named Olympus. In order to create descendants to inherit.
These were the greatest masterpieces created.
Hercules and Hargan.
However, there was a work in front of them that was even more outstanding than them.
‘Just one. ‘There’s something missing.’
Zeus’ gaze turned to Pandora, who was standing next to Yuwon.
The difference between yourself and Yuwon.
What should I do to fill it?
When Zeus was lost in thought for a while.
“Now it’s your turn.”
This time, Yoo-won told me the reason why he came here.
“However much.”
“Rather than asking questions, let’s ask a favor.”
“ask?”
“I need to use Olympus’ information network.”
“Is it because of the traitors planted by the manager?”
Zeus smiled mischievously as if he knew everything.
“If that’s the case, there’s nothing to worry about. I’ve already figured it out.”
“You mean in Daeva too?”
Vishnu.
More than anything else, Yuwon wanted to uncover the secret of his death first.
“It’s crispy that way.”
And it seemed like he even knew the question.
“I might be a little late because of you.”
Zeus had already moved his hands and feet.
