Leveling with the Gods

Chapter 610

[Level Up with God Side Story Episode 86]

* * *

“I didn’t intend to become king from the beginning.”

Not that long ago, more than ten years ago.

Zeus recalled the time he met Odin and had a drink.

“There were many wars in Asgard. I had many enemies. Jotunheim and Muspelheim. “All the giants were our enemies.”

“It seems like we didn’t get along well with the giants.”

“okay. It was the same for both of us. haha!”

Unlike Zeus, Odin was quite a drinker.

He was already pouring several cans of strong rum into his mouth.

“At that time, I was just a soldier.”

“King Odin is a soldier.”

“Can’t you imagine?”

“I guess.”

“I’m rather unfamiliar with who I am now. “No matter how much time passes, I can’t get used to it.”

Odin looked at his face reflected in the wine glass.

A huge country and guild that rules over several worlds.

Asgard.

“I am a king…”

On the surface of the clear glass of wine was reflected the king representing that great country.

“There is a big difference between what you are good at and what you like. Some people say that. I am a great ruler.”

Zeus nodded.

Odin, the king of Asgard.

He was one of the few people Zeus recognized, along with Vishnu.

No,

it wasn’t that long, but I had admired him when I was young. I

hope he will become a great king like him. No.

“Everyone is saying it in unison, so what’s the point of denying it alone? Also, if it’s something you have to do, it’s better to do it well than to do it poorly.”

“What do you want to say?”

“I sometimes dream of that time.”

A dream.

Just talking about it made Odin’s eyes burn brightly.

“The dream of throwing away everything I was carrying on my shoulders and fighting for my country to my heart’s content.”

I never remembered him or missed him.

I wasn’t that close to him, and our meeting was short-lived.

But why?

After his death, I started thinking about a lot of things.

Kwarung-!

I threw a thunderbolt at the manager with the hunched back.

All over his body . He was full of power.

The temple where the thunderbolt resided was the world of Zeus.

‘A meaningful death…’

Odin achieved his dream.

In the fight for the fate of Asgard,

he fought against countless Outers and was at the forefront of the battlefield. He stood up and faced death as a warrior, not as a king.

At first, I wondered what that meant.

After all, if you die, everything is meaningless, right?

It was difficult for the cool-headed Zeus to understand.

But,

‘Maybe there is.’

When I saw the final moment of Odin’s death,

my thoughts changed a little when I saw that he died smiling.

A warrior.

Zeus has never been in that position yet.

Maybe they are beings that are not much different from a ‘king’.

[‘Temple of Thunderbolt’ resists ‘Master of Mana’.] [

‘Temple of Lightning’ successfully resists ‘Master of Mana’.] [

The magic power of all lightning attributes is amplified by 200%. ]

The energy of the thunderbolt within his body exploded.

With the sensation of his entire body’s muscles being twisted, Zeus spread his arms wide.

Cry!

A thunderbolt struck the space inside the temple.

Administrators were moving around to block and avoid it. I moved my body and soon.

Lightning

rained down from the ceiling of the temple.

“Jesus!”

Pajigi-!

Jotakua, with a distorted face, rushed at Zeus again.

As if the small rain of lightning didn’t matter.

‘It looks like he’s very angry.’

If so, it’s actually good.

When a fight is dominated by emotions, everything about attack and defense becomes linear and obvious.

Thanks to Yuwon’s killing of Chatagua, the most difficult opponent became easy.

Zeus, holding a spear in his hand, looked at her and looked at her. It

was light.

Boo

–

woong-

.

“This way too!”

A temple filled with lightning.

The administrators were unable to use their power as usual, wondering what on earth had happened.

‘Are they preparing for this?’

No matter how much Zeus was, he couldn’t deal with the four administrators, including Jotakua, alone. The

administrators’ power was to take away control over magical power, and all the players in front of them couldn’t properly use even half of their power.

However,

this space . He had the power to oppose the power of those managers.

This was the source of his confidence.

He created a space to oppose the power of the managers and on the contrary, he doubled his power.

From the beginning, Zeus had dug a trap here and was waiting.

‘I thought complacently. No, I thought it was okay to be complacent.’

It had to be that way.

There were as many as four managers,

including Jotakua, the manager on the 95th floor.

I thought that no matter how long Zeus could fly, there would be no other variables unless Hercules or Jecheon Daeseong were with him.

However, there was no way to overcome their power . I never thought I would have created a space where I thought,

‘I have to get out of this space first.’

“You won’t be able to escape easily.”

A cool voice.

The moment the surprised manager turns his head.

Puuuk-.

Chijit chiji-.

The thunderbolt spear that started from Zeus’ fingertips pierced his chest.

“Otuyeg!”

Another manager shouted.

Jotakua was already pinned against the wall of the temple.

It seemed like she had been pushed out of the battle just

now. The manager, who soon felt a sense of crisis, revealed his true self.

Hwa-

blah-blah-blah-.

Gray A flame blazing with light. Exhaling

a cold chill, his eyes glowed in the flame.

-Zeus!

He roared.

Frost from the cold chill settled on the temple filled with thunderbolts.

Either that or not.

Shoot-.

Feeling the magic quickly burning within him, Zeus looked at the corpse of the manager he had cut through.

“…Just one thing.”

* * *

63rd floor.

A place once called the center of the world, where the golden castle of Asgard is located. The

soldiers of the brilliantly shining castle were very nervous due to the appearance of an uninvited guest.

“What on earth is that? That.”

“Shh. That’s it? Are you crazy? What are you going to do if you hear it?”

“Are you sure you can hear it on this street?”

“Don’t ignore the sixth sense of the top high rankers. They are monsters we can’t even imagine.”

His superior broke into a sweat as he heard the words of a new soldier who had just entered Asgard.

Far away, at the entrance to the Golden Castle,

there was a large man sitting cross-legged, his back covered in scars.

“Why on earth did Hercules come here? Guernsey….”

Hercules.

Ranked 2nd.

The second-in-command of Olympus and a high-ranker ranked second only to his father, Zeus, in the top rankings.

He was known to have enough power to destroy a fairly large guild on his own.

Unlike Zeus, the ruler of the huge guild called Olympus, he was the one who achieved the ranking solely through force.

“It’s not you guys. “Even if I ask about your business, you remain the same.”

“I thought I was going to pass out when we made eye contact. What kind of bastard’s eyes are…”

Puck-.

“I told you not to do that bastard, you bastard!”

Clearly, Hercules’ personality was known to be quite gentle.

No, beyond being gentle, he was famous for not even using his fists, let alone killing.

He was immediately called a hero in Gigantomachia, and lived as a woodcutter for quite a long time in the countryside. There was no doubt that there were rumors.

But,

‘Can we really believe those rumors?’

The look in Hercules’ eyes that I actually saw felt somewhat different from the rumors.

It wasn’t particularly bloody or scary.

‘Somewhere, I could see the spirit of a battle ahead.’

Although he was just a soldier, he was a player who protected the Golden Castle.

Although he did not become a ranker, he was a skilled person who succeeded in climbing to the 90th floor.

As such, one could sense something through the spirit felt from Hercules.

“Soon… there will be a big battle.”

The news of Hercules had already been delivered to Thor and the Valkyries, the owners of the Golden Castle. They

would probably respond soon.

And the enemy for the fight that would begin later was one of two.

“Either Hercules or a bigger enemy.”

* * *

Hercules, sitting cross-legged, increased his concentration.

A big battle was about to take place.

Now that there was no Zeus, Goku, or Yuwon, he had to become a strong gate.

“What on earth is that? That.”

A soldier’s voice came from afar.

It was a small voice, but it felt particularly audible because of the word ‘that’.

‘That’s too much, though.’

Disrupted concentration.

Hercules smiled awkwardly and scratched his cheek with one hand.

‘I chose this one out of the two.’

“Where should I go?

Before coming down to the Golden Castle.

When Zeus asked Son Wukong to use his clones to ensure the safety of other guilds, Hercules asked him about his role.

He had the many eyes of Hermes.

Also, he knew the situation of the tower more than anyone else. A person who sees the world as a great nation.

Hercules offered to use him as a chess piece.

But,

“It’s one of two things.”

Contrary to what I expected, his answer was not very clear:

“This place and Asgard. That’s where you should be.”

In the temple in the sky, Zeus was troubled.

If he were the manager,

which side would he fight first when this fight begins in earnest.

“My body is one.”

“Yes. One.”

“Please explain. What do you mean?”

When there was no clear answer, Hercules pressed for an explanation.

What on earth was going through his mind?

Zeus, with a still worried expression on his face, expressed his thoughts.

“The players cannot leave out Olympus and Asgard. Among them, Olympus is especially important. Even more so.”

Maybe it was when Odin was alive.

In the current tower, Olympus was the strongest guild in name and reality.

Of course, Asgard was still alive and well.

Thor, who holds Gungnir in his hand, will become the second Odin as time goes by and the ruling layer. However

,

the absence of the giant called ‘Odin’ was clearly a painful loss.

“They have one of three options. Either attack this place where I am, or attack Asgard, which is weakened and without Odin – .”

“Why are there three choices when there are two: Olympus and Asgard?”

“Does being impatient make you resemble a monkey? “You made the wrong friends.”

Hercules kept his mouth shut after being scolded by Zeus.

I was so anxious that I cut myself off mid-sentence.

If you think about it, you will quickly know what the next option is.

“The final option is to hit both at the same time.”

“Both of you…”

Only then did Hercules understand why Zeus was saying these words to him.

“That’s right. Your bodies are one.”

He realized something he had long forgotten.

Hercules.

Aside from Zeus, he was the second most powerful person in the tower.

“So you choose. Which way you will go.”

The fact is that tens of thousands of lives have been lost or saved depending on where one is and what one is doing.
