Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 577
[Level Up with God Side Story Episode 53]
* * *
Varuna, facing Yuwon, cried for a while.
I don’t know what happened, but crying with snot dripping down my face wasn’t a very nice sight.
“hey.”
“You know I am… ugh… for so long… how long… huh-.”
“Bury your nose. Let it drip…”
I wanted to kick him, but I couldn’t.
Dirty is dirty, and you can’t believe you’re kicking a guy who’s crying so sadly.
“…I can only endure it for one minute.”
Let’s hold on for one more minute and if it doesn’t fall even then, let’s blow it back to where it came from.
After counting to just 60 seconds, Varuna immediately let go of Yuwon’s leg and wiped away the snot with the back of his hand.
dirty.
Varuna seemed to have finally calmed down and stopped sniffling.
“I missed you, brother.”
“Since when on earth am I your older brother?”
“Isn’t it from the moment you remembered your brother?”
“under-.”
For some reason, I felt like I had had a similar conversation before.
Still, he was once a colleague.
Even though there was a large difference in skill, Varuna survived until the end in the fight with Outer.
‘You’re my younger brother.’
A friend is better than that.
“Don’t call me brother.”
“but-.”
“Treat me as a friend instead. “Because it’s much more comfortable.”
“friend…?”
Round-open eyes.
Soon, with tears welling up in his eyes and sparkling eyes, he knelt before Yuwon.
“I’m touched that you think of me so much, brother! But would you dare? “I am…”
Varuna was unable to speak properly. He
seemed quite moved when told to treat him as a friend.
“I will treat you as an older brother for the rest of my life!”
“I’m going crazy.”
No amount of words could convince him.
In the end, Yuwon gave up and turned to Zeus.
“What’s wrong with him?”
“I desperately searched for you and brought you here.”
“I guess that’s not the only reason?”
There were not many people qualified to set foot in this place.
In Olympus, there were only Hades and Hercules, and other people could only do so with the permission of Zeus.
However, just because he was looking for himself, Zeus entered the deepest part of the heavenly palace. There was no way they would invite an outside ranker to this place.
“They said I had a favor to ask.”
“ask?”
Yuwon looked at Varuna.
When their eyes met again, Varuna must have thought that this was the right time and hurriedly knelt down.
“Please save the deva.”
It was an expected request.
Deva.
A huge guild that had lost its focus due to Vishnu’s death.
There was no need to find out what the situation was like there.
“I had Athena bring me here. Just listen.”
“I think I know it even if I don’t hear it. It must be shit.”
Varuna’s eyes wavered at Yuwon’s words.
Shit.
It was a somewhat vulgar word, but there was no word that described the current Daeva better than those words.
“Vishnu’s absence. There is no place that administrators can dig into more easily than a guild whose leader has disappeared.”
Vishnu was the god of the Devas.
The mythology of Vishnu was deeply embedded in the Devas.
Vishnu, Shiva, and Brahma.
Three absolute beings derived from one individual, Vishnu, controlled the rankers of the Devas, each with their own inclinations.
Overwhelming. The power of an individual oppresses a group.
This world was a place where such a thing was fully possible.
And that also meant that without Vishnu, the devas could not be controlled.
“Are you saying they were targeted?”
“That will be true. This time it has been proven.”
Varuna nodded at Yuwon’s words. It was
thanks to the support of Olympus, but Varuna would not have been here in the first place.
Due to Vayu and Surya’s betrayal, Varuna and Agni were in crisis.
“There may be more.”
Surya and Vayu were in shock.
Just the two of them?
It was nonsense.
“…Yes, I think so too.”
Varuna also had the same thought. Just
the two of them would not have shown such a bold act.
Even if Vishnu was not there, they were confident that they could devour the deva.
There was someone else.
The deva was truly a mess, as Yu-won said just now.
“Did you miss it?”
“I caught Surya. I missed Vayu.”
Zeus shrugged,
“I didn’t know anything.”
“Is the interrogation over?”
“I asked my brother for it. You can tell for sure by seeing that it didn’t blow.”
Now that Poseidon is gone, Zeus only has one older brother.
Hades.
The second-in-command of Olympus and the king who rules the 42nd level of hell.
Although he belongs to Olympus, he walks a completely different and independent path.
The forces of hell all belong to Hades. He had the ability to make people experience death while alive.
“Then that’s right.”
“There is nothing more to be saved from there.”
The way I looked at Yuwon.
I could guess what he was going to say. I had a feeling that something tiring would happen.
“You go.”
As expected,
“You’re asking me to do something troublesome.”
“Get away from Pandora for a moment. She’s too eye-catching.”
I knew why he was asking me to do this.
There was no one better suited for this job than me.
‘It’s only natural that no one would recognize me.’
It was clear that the deva was rotten.
After Vishnu died, he became the first target of the administrators. The
question was where the rot was and how big it was.
“This guy was brought in for this purpose.”
There was no way Zeus would have brought Varuna here just because Varuna had a favor.
The guy’s request matched what he wanted, so he brought Varuna here.
In other words, this was Varuna’s request as well as Zeus’ request.
Of course.
“Hesitate .” “There’s nothing wrong with that, right? If it weren’t for Ananta, your next destination would have been there too.”
Zeus also knew Yuwon’s purpose, so he brought him.
Yuwon let out a deep sigh.
It wasn’t because the work was difficult or tiring. It was
something he was going to do anyway . In fact
, there was a separate problem.
“If Pandora finds out, there will be an uproar. …”

Shadow under the tree.
Yama, who was sleeping inside, was silent for quite some time, waiting for Varuna to contact him.
When I found out about Surya and Vayu’s betrayal, I wanted to cut off the traitors’ heads right away.
I couldn’t even move because of one message.
[Varuna: Wait a little longer. I will take my brother with me.]
My brother.
I don’t know when they became older brothers and younger brothers, but I could vaguely understand who the ‘brother’ that Varuna was talking about was.
‘Kim Yu-won.’
It was difficult to believe what I heard about his identity from Varuna.
The one who took the lead in the fight against the Outer and led the Inner to victory.
Nevertheless, the world forgot him.
‘It’s hard to understand.’
If Varuna had suddenly said something like this one day, he would have been treated like a crazy person.
but.
‘Even if Vishnu didn’t care…’
Tiring-.
A message arrived at Varuna.
[Varuna: Do you trust me?]
A word like a common work comment.
Yama stared at the message that had arrived in the kit and forced his crumpled expression to straighten his eyebrows.
‘Will I trust you?’
He was a lecherous and evil-minded guy.
Normally, if it was an idea that came out of his head, it would have been better to do the opposite.
But this time was an exception.
‘I believe in Vishnu and I believe in the guy named Kim Yu-won that Vishnu was looking for.’
Currently, Kim Yu-won was working under the name Kim Yu-hoon.
I heard about what he did in heaven and knew about it.
There were still quite a few people who doubted him.
Most people said that there was no way a player who wasn’t even in the rankings could defeat the manager, and that it was a false rumor made up in heaven.
It was natural.
Because the name ‘Kim Yu-hoon’ has not yet been registered in the rankings.
‘By the way, that guy named Kim Yu-won….’
Buk-buk-buk-.
Varuna approaches from afar towards the promised location.
And behind them, as expected, a black-haired man with a face I had never seen before was accompanying me.
‘Are you seriously thinking about doing this?’
Although I was informed in advance, I really had doubts.
I somehow didn’t know if that was possible.
‘Can I really trust you?’
Slur-.
Yama, who had been hiding in the shadows, appeared.
Varuna, who had not noticed, looked startled, but Yuwon’s eyes were fixed on Yama all the way from under the shade of the tree.
“It’s called Yama.”
“Kim Yu-won and Kim Yu-hoon. Which way should I introduce it?”
“As convenient as possible.”
Yama holds Yuwon’s hand.
He looked around to see if there were any other eyes around.
“Do you notice?”
“The eyes of the management bureau are everywhere. “As long as our enemies are administrators, there is no harm in being careful.”
It wasn’t wrong.
Managers with numerous errand boys.
The number of eyes and ears they had spread throughout the tower was countless.
“It would be nice if we could hide in the shadows together…”
“Then that’s it.”
“…?”
What happened?
It was right after a question mark appeared in Yama’s head that black light appeared in Yuwon’s hand.
Stop it!
What the heck.
Space opens up.
A pitch-black world where nothing is visible but where countless things exist.
“Follow me, both of you.”
“What….”
Left aaaaa-.
That space sucked Varuna and Yama in.
[You are invited to ‘Tartaros.’]
[You cannot refuse.]
Everything around was black.
But that didn’t mean there was nothing.
‘Dead? Or are they alive?’
Those people who you can’t tell if they are alive or dead.
Every single one of their eyes is looking at them.
Even if each one is not that big, it was impossible to count how many there are. I wonder
if they are aware of those gazes or not.
” “Do you know how to do something like this? I wouldn’t even be able to find a manager here.”
Varuna just looked around in amazement and nodded happily.
‘Are you sure you can’t see it? Can’t you feel it?’
Unlike Varuna, who knew nothing and simply followed the Yuwon,
this space had a different meaning to Yama.
‘This is my first time experiencing such deep magic.’
Since Yama was a man who wielded dark magical power, he felt as if he would suffocate at any moment from the near-infinite magical power felt in this place.
And Yuwon, who actually led them to Tartarus, said,
“That’s right. You can’t find it here.”
He agreed with Varuna’s words and answered casually as if it was no big deal,
“Even the errand boy. “Managers too.”
After saying that, Yuwon’s eyes turned to Yama.
Yama’s face turns blue.
Actually, there was no need to do this.
Even if you don’t have to come all the way to Tartarus, you won’t be discovered by the administrator, as Yama feared.
Even if their eyes were all over the tower, wouldn’t they be able to avoid the gaze of errand boys and the like?
Nevertheless, there is one reason why Yuwon invited Yama here.
‘You needed proof, right?’
That was precisely what Yama wanted.
-Uuuuuu-.
-The living…
-The unauthorized…..
The infinite number of sinners of Tartarus gather around Yama.
Yama became thoughtful.
Soon his eyes, consumed by Tartarus, turned white.
“uh? llama? Hey! Hey, what’s wrong with you?”
Varuna quickly grabbed Yama and shook him.
It will probably take some time to wake up.
‘Maybe it was a little excessive.’
Yuwon sighed at the thought of wasting time on something pointless.
