Chapter 612
Leveling with the Gods
[Level Up with God Side Story Episode 88]
* * *
The giant flame giant was a nightmare for Asgard.
The king of Muspelheim who fought against Odin.
Surtur, the strongest giant and the worst demon, had his entire body covered in flames.
Hwa-rak-!
Flames soared from the giantâs body.
The fist hit the ground and the golden star shook.
Ujikkeun-!
The ground caved in.
Hercules withstood the giantâs fist and opened his eyes.
âItâs different from what I heard from that monkey.â
Before coming here.
Goku shared information about the manager with Hercules through his alter ego.
âmanager? That wasnât a big deal. âWhen I hit him like this, he fell down.â
He was a guy who always seemed a bit strong.
There must have been quite a bit of leap in what he said.
But even taking that into account.
ââ¦Itâs definitely not that bad.â
The manager he confronted was said to be the manager on the 20th floor.
If the level of managers varies depending on the floor, it would be a fairly low level manager.
It is understandable that Son Goku was able to subdue him without much difficulty.
then.
âWhat floor are you on?â
Hercules asked, embracing the giantâs body with both arms.
The flame giant answered.
-Ktuga is the manager of the 97th floor.
âKthugaâ¦â
I remembered the name in my head.
It was Hercules who had been particularly obsessed with names since he had forgotten Yuwonâs name ten years ago.
âIâm sorry to meet you like this, Kthuga.â
Kuuuukâ¦
Herculesâ arm, which was supporting Kthugaâs body, swelled.
Muscles swelled and green tendons sprouted.
Chijit chijiji!
[The complete power of a giant resides in the arm.]
[The power of the thunderbolt. It dwells in this arm.]
[It has surpassed the power of a giant.]
[âGiantizationâ recognizes the opponent as a âgiant.â]
An arm filled with lightning.
Hercules, who was struggling to support his body with both arms, struck Ctu with one arm. I lifted it up. And
right
after that.
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
, however, she strike the soles of his
feet with her free hand.
Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
A part of his ankle was hit by a fist filled with lightning, and a piece of flesh fell to the floor.
And between the cracks.
Saaaaâ¦
A huge snake covered the sky.
âPear snake?â
âWhat is thatâ¦â
âIt covered the skyâ¦â
As if the flame giant Cthuga was nothing.
The snake blocked the sunlight shining down on the Golden Castle and covered the entire sky with its body.
It was like the world . A snake floating long in the sky as if trying to wrap itself around.
It had two heads and glared at Hercules with eyes that sparkled red like jewels. -All
the power you wield came from us.
Saaa-.
The snake with its tongue lashing out. Poison leaked out of his mouth.
-How dare you aim that power at us?
Hit me.- Hit me-.
Hercules felt the power of the thunderbolt flowing through his body open up. He felt
uncomfortable, as if he were wearing stuffy, uncomfortable clothes.
It was as if his magic power was being released. It felt like he was refusing to confront the manager.
âThis too⦠feels like what the monkey said.â
âItâs a bit annoying. I kept feeling nauseous while fighting with those guys. It must have been a sudden poop.â
âItâs probably because of the control over magical power. Administrators have special powers.â
If it werenât for Zeusâs explanation, it would have been difficult to understand.
He would have thought that he was really in the middle of a fight when he suddenly needed to poop.
âItâs the control over magical powerâ¦â
If thatâs what he said, it was a truly deceptive ability.
The power of the thunderbolt was immediately there. I can feel this level of discomfort just by being in it myself.
How do other rankers feel?
âI donât think this tactic will work.â
I thought I knew why Zeus didnât prepare another army for Olympus.
Numbers are of no use to them.
âHmm.â
I inflate my lungs and take a deep breath.
I push away the uncomfortable feeling inside me and increase my concentration.
What should I do at this time?
I already told this to Goku.
âIn the end, itâs a race against time. Increase your concentration and resist the discomfort as much as possible. âIf itâs a long-term war, Iâll stop you.â
âI canât believe what he says other timesâ¦â
Herculesâ eyes lit up.
âNo one can match this.â
Monkey, Stone-headed, Thunder-nakedâ¦.
There were many words meaning âfoolâ to refer to Son Goku.
However, in one situation, he turned into a genius who was smarter than anyone else.
It was when he was fighting.
âI believe, monkey.â
In this way, Hercules raised his concentration to its peak.
He resisted the power of the manager who upset his stomach and strengthened his legs.
Toward that huge snake floating in the sky.
Boom!
He kicked the ground and jumped high.
Grasping. -!
I pulled out a club made from a branch of the World Tree that was hanging on my back and grabbed
it. When I jumped up to the eye level of the huge snake floating in the sky.
âDuring the mission given by my stepmother, I hunted a nine-headed snake.â
Although he is much larger,
there is a myth about Herculesâ club that subdued him.
[â12 Laborsâ appear.]
[âThe Hunter of the Nine Serpentsâ appears.] The
one who caught the Hydra. The myth was put into a club.
What was in front of me now was a bigger snake, but I forgot about it.
Hydra, the lord of the swamp.
Hercules swung the club, remembering the feeling of crushing the nine-headed creature.
â Dare . !
Puhwaaa!
The two-headed snake spewed venom from its mouth.
Black smoke with an acid that could melt any hard metal attacked Herculesâ body.
One.
Flash!
A golden lightning flashed through the smoke. It exploded.
Kwa-rung-!
With a sound of thunder, Hercules struck down the snakeâs head.
* * *
Zeus, who had been standing staggeringly, fell to the floor again.
It was because he had relaxed for a moment.
âHere you come.â
In Zeusâs blurred eyes, Yuwon and Pandora were reflected.
Pandora, who was always scared or sulky when she saw him, looked shocked.
Well,
it was the first time she had seen her bleeding and hurt like this, so it was natural. .
âItâs late.â
âI came early. As soon as possible.â
Yuwon replied and checked the time on the kit.
âItâs been a little over a year. Itâs later than I thought.â
It was a shame because I found the autumn leaves earlier than expected. The time axis was more distorted than I thought.
I know it was late,
but I didnât show it on the outside.
I didnât know what more complaints that guy would complain about.
âIâm covering my ears. âDonât listen to nonsense.â
Zeus was wounded and weak.
As his body weakens, his mental power also weakens.
He knew this, so he targeted this moment.
He thought that the current Zeus would be able to penetrate his dreams.
â âWhat is it? That.â
âA voice that should not be heard. What is happening now is because of that.â
âDo you know what the situation is?â
âI saw it on the way. In Muspelheim.â
âRight.â
Zeus seemed to understand Yuwonâs words and began to stop the bleeding from the wound.
It seemed like he would lose his sanity if he bled more.
âThatâs strange.â
There was curiosity in Zeusâs eyes as he looked at the purple haze.
Just
after hearing that guyâs voice, he started thinking about something he normally wouldnât have done.
It felt different from the hallucinatory hypnosis skill.
The process that led to that thought was It was so natural that I didnât even suspect it.
Above all, I didnât feel any magical power.
Thatâs why
it felt even more dangerous.â
Originally, what you donât understand is the most fearful.
The same goes for the beings from outside the tower.
Their power and existence, derived from their names, were beyond the awareness of the players inside the tower.
But now,
from that purple haze that appeared before their eyes, they were I had a similar feeling.
Blurry.
My vision wavered a little.
My thoughts became shallow and all strength drained from my body.
It was getting difficult to stay conscious.
âPandora.â
Yuwon looked back at Pandora with an apologetic face.
It was a request that was difficult to put into words.
To protect the person who had imprisoned him for over a thousand years.
When he hesitated to speak for a moment.
âItâs okay.â
âBaa-.â
When Pandora nodded, the autumn leaves above her head raised their hands.
It seems like heâs asking me to just leave it to him.
At that sight, a grin escaped from the corner of Yuwonâs mouth.
I wouldnât be so reluctant.
No, she obviously didnât want to do it, but she granted his request.
then.
âInstead, when you wake up, grab it yourself.â
Later, after Zeus is healed, he can give her another chance.
A chance to release the anger that has been building up inside for a long time.
âItâs a reward for saving my life, so I guess thatâs okay.â
Jeopuk-.
Leaving Zeus to the two of them, Yuwon walked towards the purple haze.
It was confused as it stared at Yuwon in the fog.
-What are you?
The guy didnât know himself.
You wonât even be able to remember the name âKim Yu-wonâ, let alone what your name is.
To find out, more time, contact, and strong shock were needed.
Originally, I was planning on hiding a little longer.
As Zeus said, his existence was the key to winning this fight, and the more confused they felt, the more they would gain.
but.
âThere is no need for that anymore.â
The plan only worked until the leaves were found.
âIâve waited a long time.â
This thing in front of me was just a small fragment of this thing.
Rankers lying on the floor.
It is nothing more than small fragments planted in their bodies that come together to form a temporary form.
âEating away at other peopleâs dreams. âI crawled on the floor of the highest place to avoid the sky of the world.â
As Yuwon continued to speak, the haze shook more violently.
The guy hid in the haze and looked at Yuwon with hidden eyes.
It was as if he was trying to figure out who the being that appeared before his eyes was.
-Do you know who I am?
âknow.â
Yuwon answered without hesitation.
âHe who dreams great dreams. The one who sleeps in the deep sea. âThe one who crawls on the floor of the high world.â
Those names were all names that belonged to him.
âIsnât this enough to describe you?â
It was a warning.
I know you.
So keep crawling on the floor like you always did.
Stop here now.
-What are you? Are you Kim Yu-hoon?
Kim Yu-hoon.
The fictitious name Yu-won created seemed to have found its way into the managers as well.
Asking questions. Looking at it, it looks like someone among the famous rankers may have created a fake name.
âThatâs also true. And again.â
I wasnât very happy to be known by that name anymore.
There was only one thing I needed from the guy in front of me right now,
and that was-.
âWho do you think killed Yog-Sothoth?â
It was a fear of myself.
