Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 579
[Level Up with the Gods Side Story Episode 55]

Quaduk, quack, quack-.
Teeth biting down on a giant who had fallen to the ground.
Ananta muttered as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth over the dying body of the manager, whose eyes had lost all life.
“Manager Nauri has a strong taste, as expected.”
Chiji chijiji-.
The remnants of the shock caused by the fight remained and flowed throughout the management bureau.
Tens of thousands of errand boys.
And a new manager who rules over them.
Ananta looked ecstatic as he ate them.
“It has to be like this.”
The manager’s taste was amazing.
I realized that when I ate the manager right after waking up from the seal.
The power they have.
And beyond that, pure magical power.
The ecstasy of savoring the taste was truly the best.
gulp-.
Soon, Ananta’s head, which had eaten the manager’s body, had an appetite.
“It’s over.”
Chiji chijiji-.
Uncontrolled electricity flowed from Ananta’s body as he stood up.
It feels like the empty space in my head is being filled again.
There’s still a long way to go to fill it all, but if you eat managers like this, it’s definitely not like before.
You will be able to have more brains and strength than that.
And when that time comes.
‘I didn’t know the name, but I memorized the face.’
Ananta remembered the black-haired man who cut off hundreds of heads at the last moment.
A man who used the power of Tartarus.
There was a dangerous feeling about him.
‘It’s still not enough.’
The Tartarus I saw at that moment would not be everything.
I felt more of an invisible power in that man.
If not, I wouldn’t have tried to avoid it by throwing away hundreds of heads on the spot.
‘More more. Even more than now.’
Sigh-.
I raised the corner of my blood-stained mouth and walked down a hallway stained with the blood of errand boys.
‘You need to eat more.’
Jeopuk-.
Ananta escapes from the administration.
After filling his stomach like that, Ananta slowly headed to the next floor.
“I really enjoyed the meal. “It’s better, manager.”
* * *
95th floor.
The world is in shambles due to Vishnu’s death and the fight between him and the administrator.
Now, one by one, new people have appeared in a world where players have stopped visiting.
“I didn’t know I’d come here again.”
The person who arrived this time was Soma.
She frowned as she studied the map.
“It’s all there, but where on earth is it?”
A forest full of trees.
Even if I had a map, it didn’t seem like it would be easy to find my way.
When Soma was looking at the map he received from Varuna.
“Have you ever lost your way?”
A man hanging upside down from a tree like a bat.
“Dhruva?”
“It’s been a while, Soma.”
He, one of Deva’s high rankers, also came here after receiving Varuna’s message.
There is quite a bit of time left until the appointed time.
Nevertheless, Dhruva seemed to have been here much earlier.
“You too are very wise. “How can you not find it?”
“There are only trees everywhere, so what should I do?”
“Can’t you see that?”
Hearing Dhruva’s words, Soma turned his head to follow his finger.
A tall tree.
Just in case, I noticed that the thick pillar of the tree even had ‘here’ written in large letters.
“What are you wearing your eyes for?”
“…Noisy.”
Soma and other Daeva rankers gathered on the tree.
A tree with numerous thick branches.
Soma gazed at the tree in fascination, which was reminiscent of the world tree Yggdrasil.
“what’s the matter?”
“Are we really supposed to say it’s Vishnu?…”
A deep magical power still remained in the tree rising through the clouds.
“He might really be alive.”
Even though his name disappeared from the rankings, there were still some among the Devas who believed that Vishnu was still alive.
Soma was different.
She had her doubts. There was no way that Vishnu was alive.
Even if he was Vishnu, he would not be able to escape the eyes of the administration. But
…
the air around Soma froze.
The
temperature of the air changed depending on her mood as she ascended to the ranks of high rankers.
As she was walking ahead, Dhruva looked back at Soma.
“Soma? ”
Soma suddenly came to his senses at his call.
“Uh, yes.”
“Aren’t you going? I had time left…”
“Let’s go.”
Soma shows an expressionless expression as if something has happened.
“…I have to go.”
She climbed the tree,
thinking
that
maybe Vishnu was waiting for them up
there
.
The Daeva rankers are gradually approaching.
“Is this really okay?”
“What if you ask me that?”
Yama frowned at the sight of Varuna being afraid despite the work being done.
In fact,
even Yama himself had no idea whether this was really true or not.
‘You are selling Vishnu’s name.’
My conscience is pricked and I feel like someone is stabbing a dagger in my chest.
I couldn’t help it.
It’s no one else, it’s Vishnu. I have served and respected him my whole life.
Yama and Varuna used Vishnu’s name as bait to bring the rankers of the Devas here. He called them together and asked,
“Where is your brother?”
“I don’t know.”
“Don’t you know? You were supposed to be here, right?”
Yu-won was the one who planned this incident.
Whether it was cold or hot, he first called all the Deva rankers together.
As bait for him, Yu-won sold the name of Vishnu.
But Yu-won did not show up at the appointed place.
“He kept saying , Are you planning to lean on me?”
“No, that’s not it….”
“Then come to your senses. “If we don’t come to our senses, we’ll get eaten.”
“Keuung…”
Varuna lowered his head while groaning.
Either way, Yama closed his eyes and focused on the signs around him.
‘It won’t be long.’
A huge tree created by Vishnu.
At the top of this tree, which is closest to the sky, Varuna and Yama were standing without a chair.
And the first to arrive there was a white-haired woman with her hair cut short.
“It’s been a long time, Deva.” Hootie.”
“Hey Yama?”
Devahuti, a Deva ranker who discovered Yama, opened her eyes wide.
Although she could not reach the high ranker level, she was a high ranker close to it and knew about the news of Yama’s disappearance. She thought
she might be able to meet him here, but was surprised when she actually met him. “Is this your first time here, Yama?
”
“okay.”
“I knew you would come… but so soon…”
Devahuti was speechless.
‘How much I miss Vishnu…’
My heart was pounding.
Varuna and Yama do not have a single conversation.
Devahuti, who was watching the two people, asked Varuna, who sent the message.
“Is Vishnu not there?”
“Huh?”
Varuna opens her eyes wide.
Devahuti sensed something strange in his bewildered expression.
“I’ll tell you later.”
“You mean to ‘speak’?”
If Vishnu is really alive, all he has to do is show himself right away.
Varuna’s reaction created another thought in Devahuti’s mind.
‘Are you planning on showing up when everyone gets together?’
Subtle anticipation.
Since there was no place to sit, Devahuti took notice and took a seat.
Due to her relatively low ranking, she chose to remain silent.
But on the contrary.
“Hey Varuna-!”
Shuaaak-.
Sigh-!
A hand reaches out as soon as it appears.
Hanuman, who instantly grabbed Varuna by the collar, did not hide his temper.
“What happened? “Is Lord Vishnu really alive?”
“Ha Hanuman. “Let’s leave this alone for now.”
“If you lied, you will definitely get it with my own hands!”
“Hanuman.”
Seaaaa-.
A shadow comes over Hanuman’s body.
Feeling a chill around his neck, Hanuman stopped shaking his hand by the collar and looked back at Yama.
“Shut up and stand there quietly. request.”
“Hey Yama…”
Besides Vishnu, Hanuman is the only person he fears.
Yama is his shadow and is known to be the most cruel among the demigods.
“If you are asking me for a favor…”
When it comes to Vishnu, the eyes are It was Yama who didn’t know what would happen if he flipped over.
This could simply be the reason why this place is an eyesore.
Now was the time to take care of myself.
“Whoa-.”
Varuna, who had barely escaped Hanuman’s hands, breathed a sigh of relief.
If it weren’t for Yama’s support, this place would have been overflowing with people roasting him.
From then on, Yama became Varuna’s shield.
The stage prepared by these two people was full.
Numerous rankers who were part of Daeva gathered.
‘All the guys came. Not only high rankers, but also all rankers from mid-sized guilds that have a relationship with Daeva.’
Rankers who are the core of the guild.
The number seemed to be well over 200.
‘It’s amazing to come together like this.’
I felt the influence of Daeva once again.
Even if they are reeling from the recent death of Vishnu, a deva is still a deva.
It was one of the strongest guilds that dominated this tower, along with Olympus Asgard.
Varuna secretly broke into a cold sweat as he worked under the ever-increasing gaze.
They all seemed curious to Varuna about the news of Vishnu’s survival.
‘Varuna. You can do it. ‘Make sure you look as presentable as possible.’
As if there was some serious secret that couldn’t be revealed right away.
Maintaining that expression was Varuna’s job now.
however.
“what?”
“Why is that guy here?”
Confused voices.
Jump and jump -.
An unexpected guest came to the gathering of Daeva rankers.
“There are a lot of people gathered together.”
A man in white greeting the Daeva rankers gathered around him with a bright face.
He looked around, found Varuna and Yama, and waved his hand.
“how have you been doing? Varuna. llama.”
Burr-.
Yama’s hands trembled.
He was overcome by the urge to lunge at the man who appeared in front of him and break his neck at any moment.
It had to be that way.
“…Bayu?”
He is the one who attacked Deva together with Surya.
Because he was a traitor to the Devas who tried to kill Varuna but failed and escaped.
* * *
And that time.
Far away from the tree, Yuwon was looking at a face similar to Varuna.
A man in white.
As soon as he appeared, the air around him changed.
‘Is it Bayou?’
I have memorized the faces of Daeva’s core rankers.
Moreover, he also knew through Varuna that he had betrayed the Devas.
‘It’s going to be fun.’
Hwareuk-.
Yuwon’s eyes burned.
[‘Hwaan Geumjeong’ determines truth and lies.]
As the field of view expanded, I could see at a glance the Daeva rankers who were embarrassed by Bayu’s appearance.
His expression was much more colorful than before.
Various emotions such as embarrassment, anger and surprise were seen.
‘It’s rather fortunate.’
Bayou.
A Daeva traitor who sided with the currently confirmed administrators.
‘Thanks to you, it’s easier to read facial expressions.’
It seemed that his appearance would make things easier.
