Leveling with the Gods

[Level Up with the Gods Side Story Episode 79]

* * *

‘…Have you grown a little taller?’

The maple tree sitting on the small throne had grown taller since it had been a long time since I had seen it.

Although I lost much more strength than before.

The maple leaves, which were about the size of a span, had grown about a finger length longer than before.

Still, it didn’t change the fact that he was still a small kid.

‘It’s still the size of the palm of your hand.’

but.

Thinking about it now, it seemed like he had grown up a little bit.

of course.

Despite his height, his strength had become incomparably smaller than before.

Sigh-.

Yuwon bent down and looked closely at Danpung.

The hand that was about to reach forward paused for a moment.

Moment.

He remembered the time when he erased his name and destroyed the throne he was currently sitting on.

“You’re late.”

[“Ungh.”]

Each word lacks strength.

For a moment, my chest throbbed.

I was the one who made him like this.

“…Sorry.”

[“Gwaana.”]

It’s okay.

[“Abba, take care.”]

This little guy comforts himself.

The autumn leaves were connected to him.

He was an amorphous chaos, and that was one of the names he had.

So of course he would have known.

What was Yuwon thinking when he destroyed the throne?

“Why are you here?”

[“Put it out.”]

“It’s comfortable?”

[“Ungh.”]

Azathoth was a being outside the tower.

Ironically, the air here where Tsukuyomi shivered was the most comfortable for him to breathe.

dump-.

Yuwon sat down in front of the maple tree.

Once we were roughly at eye level, we brought out our true feelings.

“It was scary. Azathoth.”

It wasn’t that long, but Yoo-won definitely became him.

I had even one hundredth of the power he had.

He destroyed the throne even a tenth of the time and recreated the power he had.

and.

Through his memories, I learned why the war occurred ten years ago.

[[“I will not abandon this world like you did.”]]

Nyala Totep.

The starving and sick child said.

Azathoth.

You abandoned them. You neglected them.

But they did not know.

Yuwon left the world for a while. Even if his anger, which led to destruction, was not enough, he felt that it was far from enough.

[[“Did you say you would not neglect this world like I did?”]]

Knowing the whole truth.

[[“I am the one who made the world you loved so much like that. “]]

Nyala Totep was angry and Yuwon felt fear. The original

sin of this devastated world

and the war that broke out ten years ago was all on Azathoth.

“Wouldn’t I become him again? I “I wonder if he’ll change his mind.”

Yuwon, who had closed his eyes and lowered his head, opened his eyes again.

In front of him, the autumn leaves were suddenly looking at him with clear eyes.

“You, too, will become an adult someday.”

[[“Even the phoenix, a mere creature, is resurrected from the extinguished ashes.”]] This

is the amorphous chaos that was reborn after Azathoth died. Just as the

phoenix that brightened the sky died and was reborn from an egg and became a chick. There is no difference.

Perhaps, if you keep it like this, you may become Azathoth someday. Whether

that will be you.

Or whether you will become Azathoth, I don’t know. But…

Yuwon

decided to take an adventure.

“Please take care of me. ”

Place your hand on the head of the maple leaf and infuse it with divine power.

[Grants divine power to the ‘formless soul■’.]

[The ‘formless soul■’ restores It begins.]

* * *

The face of the autumn leaves that had turned white has returned.

The small, broken throne is slowly being restored. The

divine power is the power of the Outers, and the power of all Outers came from Azathoth.

Yu-won took it with him . The divine power he had was injected into the maple.

Pasrak.

The restored throne was not that big.

This was the limit of Yuwon’s current power.

Drop.

Drops of sweat fell to the floor.

His entire body was drenched in sweat. My vision was shaking dizzyingly.

There was no more strength left to hold on to.

[“Baa-!”]

Perhaps with a little more strength than before, Maple raised both arms as before.

And at that moment.

[‘Amorphous shape] ‘The soul of ■’ has been acquired.]

Along with the notification, a name that has not yet been fully recovered appears as a message.

Along with that,

“Please take care of me again.”

Chin.

Yuwon placed his hand on the maple’s head.

The guy seemed to be tired and fell asleep quickly.

With a tired face, he took the maple leaf with one hand and sighed.

‘I guess that’s a good thing…’

Azathoth’s name is Sarah. He lost.

The true name has disappeared, but not all traces of him have disappeared yet.

The small collapsed throne where the autumn leaves were sitting was the proof.

Amorphous chaos. The

nothingness from which Azathoth awoke in the beginning.

It was unknown whether Azathoth would be born again as a result.

‘If that happens…’

The color of the bird’s juice.

Maple fell asleep comfortably.

Yuwon looked down at the guy and muttered,

“For real this time . “I will disappear with you.”

Yu-won’s body slowly rolled over to the side.

Immediately, the world went dark, as if he was falling into a deep sleep.

* * *

In the deep abyss.

Yu-won turned around and saw a maple sitting alone.

‘It’s big.’

The round back was clearly autumn leaves.

The only difference was that, unlike before, it had grown a lot more.

The guy that was the size of a palm had turned into a child.

And looking at the size of the autumn leaves, Yuwon could tell what time of year it was.

This was before Azathoth’s name disappeared.

[[“I am Azathoth.”]]

Someone spoke.

It was the first time he had heard the voice, but he knew whose it was.

Yuwon raised his head with wide eyes.

Autumn leaves . In front of the eyes.

Azathoth, not Kim Yu-won, continues speaking with his back turned.

[[“I am the unholy king who sits on the throne in amorphous chaos and prepares for great chaos.”]]

When is this moment? .

Even if 100 or 1,000 years pass, I probably won’t forget it.

[[“There is no name greater than mine.”]]

‘This is the moment when I eliminated this guy’s name.’

At this moment,

Yuwon used his power to win the fight and to eliminate the name Azathoth, the beginning of all problems. [[

“All names come from Azathoth.”]] [[

“Then it is only natural that I take it. [It’s a thing.]]

Yuwon looked at the autumn leaves looking at Azathoth’s back.

At this moment.

What was that guy thinking?

Sigh…

Azathoth turns around.

He sees the autumn leaves looking back at him from behind. He said to the.

[[“Please help.”]]

Tsutsutsu.

The appearance of the autumn leaves became blurry and slowly began to decrease in size.

Azathoth looked at the autumn leaves as if he were sad.

[“…Ungh. ”]

Maple nodded.

[“Arasseo-.”]

The name that was born not that long ago answered.

For such a long time.

Maple was gradually losing its strength here and disappearing.

Until he came.

* * *

‘One Yuwon-.’

A small voice.

Once I started hearing the voice, I quickly came to my senses.

“Yuwon-!”

Pod…

Yuwon opened his eyes as if he were startled.

Long orange hair was seen on the left and right of his brightened field of vision.

And right in front of his nose.

Pandora’s pale face appeared within a distance where the tips of his noses could touch.

“Are you awake?”

“…uh.”

Sigh…

Pandora raised her head.

Rising up her stiff body, Yuwon looked at her face. She

seemed very worried.

“How long did you sleep?”

“day.”

“…day?”

That long?

Yuwon looked surprised as more time had passed than he thought.

When he looked around, Susanoo had disappeared and only Tsukuyomi and Pandora remained.

‘I guess he fell into such a deep sleep that his magic power was lost.’

Yuwon was surprised to think that he had been sleeping for a day and asked,

“What about food?”

“Are not you hungry.”

“No way.”

“…I’m not a pig.”

Pandora’s eyes widened at Yuwon’s decisive words.

She usually ate a lot and snacked frequently. I can’t believe

she starved all day because she was worried about herself.

Although she could only tolerate hunger, she still felt sad for some reason.

“When I get back, there will be delicious food . “Let’s eat that first.”

“huh.”

Pandora must have liked those words, nodding her head and smiling brightly,

and looking between the two,

“Since you’re so cold, do you guys want to go back and have sex on your own?”

Tsukuyomi, whose side was cold, said in a sharp, bristling voice,

“What are you looking for? “Did you find it?”

“uh.”

Yuwon said that and looked back at the maple lying next to him.

“…I found what I was looking for.”

“Is that guy Maple?”

A small child falling asleep.

The name ‘Autumn Leaves’ brought to mind a cute image, and I thought it was a pretty good name.

“You do look cute.”

Still, all the questions that remained in my mind did not disappear.

‘But did you come all the way here to look for that guy?’

A little child who looks like a fairy, smaller than the palm of your hand.

I don’t know why this guy was outside the tower, but it was absurd to move this far away just to find this guy.

“So are you going back now?”

She wanted to go back to the tower as soon as possible.

At this moment outside the tower, every second was out of breath.

“no.”

“then?”

Tsukuyomi asked regretfully at Yuwon’s objection.

Yuwon shook his head and looked around the huge cavity they were in.

“I want to find out one thing.”

“what is that?”

“What were they doing here?”

Pandora looked at the sleeping maple leaf in wonder and placed it on top of her head.

Perhaps because her hair was fluffy, Maple turned over and showed her belly to the sky, falling into a deeper sleep.

Sigh-.

Yuwon’s eyes turned to Azathoth’s body hanging on the wall.

‘I thought I ate it all, but I guess the skin was left behind.’

It was impossible to contain all of Azathoth in such a small body.

The only thing they ate was Azathoth’s names.

Azathoth, the father of all things, lost both his name and his true name, and only his shell remained here.

‘What’s strange is why I kept my shell…’

Pod-.

Yuwon, who had entrusted the autumn leaves to Pandora, jumped high.

Deeply…

The blade that held Azathoth’s body in place was pulled out.

They picked up Azathoth’s body, which had fallen down, and brought it down.

Tsukuyomi looked puzzled at Yuwon’s actions.

“Why are all the dead bodies…?”

A body that is not alive.

I couldn’t understand why I was interested in it when I had already found what I was looking for.

She didn’t know that Yuwon had memories of Azathoth, who lived here.

Yuwon laid Azathoth’s body down.

A body so clean that it does not appear to have been dead for a long time.

If I didn’t know Azathoth’s face, I couldn’t feel anything enough to just pass it by.

‘It contained the name of the broken autumn leaf. That’s where it called me.’

Yuwon examined Azathoth’s body.

‘It won’t be a simple imitation.’

A strange feeling of discomfort came over my whole body.

The name of the autumn leaves flowed into this place that Yog-Sothoth protected with many names.

It absolutely couldn’t have been a coincidence.

just as expected.

“…You damn Sothos.”

Yuwon, who was examining Azathoth’s body, soon realized what he was preparing.

“What did you dare try to make?”
