Leveling with the Gods

[Level Up with God Side Story Episode 84]

* * *

‘It’s like this.’

On the outside, Behemoth was fine.

Nonetheless, his behavior was clearly different from usual.

Of course, Behemoth was a greedy guy.

But just as greedy as that guy was, he was also very scared.

A tree that cannot be climbed.

To Behemoth, that ‘tree’ was Diablo.

‘This guy’s dream… is to become the king of demons.’

The word ‘dream’ is used in several meanings.

It is a word used when dreaming while asleep, but also when desperately wishing for something.

The fragments of this name amplify such dreams.

To make the fruit look sweeter.

To make the tree that seemed impossible to climb look low.

It is tempting.

-What are you doing?

The whole area was full of teeth.

Behemoth got scared and began to resist.

It twisted its huge body to try to escape from the surrounding teeth.

But what the amorphous chaos was targeting in the first place was his dream.

Kwaduk-!

[‘Amorphous soul■’ feasts on ‘fragments of old dreams.’]

Teeth biting into Behemoth’s body.

-Kwaaaa-!

Gwaaaaa-!

Behemoth screamed.

The huge bull roared so loud that it hurt my ears.

Yuwon frowned as Behemoth’s cries continued to shake his ears.

“It doesn’t hurt and it kills you.”

-Kwaaan… Huh?

Behemoth, who was screaming, suddenly felt something strange.

Obviously, there are countless teeth surrounding you chewing on your body, but you don’t feel any pain.

It’s as if they are chewing on something other than their own bodies.

-what?

“I told you. “I’m not trying to eat you.”

Quack, quack, quack.

The teeth of chaos ate the fragments of the dream contained within Behemoth.

Although it was small in size, it took quite a while to prey on it because it was so large.

But that doesn’t last long.

[‘Amorphous soul■’ has devoured the ‘fragments of an old dream.’] [

‘Amorphous spirit■’ is complaining of hunger.]

The name that was in it is gone. disappeared without

‘It’s an empty gangjeong.’

Yuwon frowned at the name, which was smaller than expected.

I stopped while I was busy climbing, but instead of my stats increasing, my disappointment only grew.

The amorphous chaos whose name was damaged was feeling even hungrier than before.

‘To fill this guy’s stomach, I’ll probably…’

A great dreamer.

For now, we will have no choice but to eat up his name.

Passu-.

The dark chaos and teeth surrounding Behemoth disappeared.

Behemoth, who felt fear and struggled for a while, blinked his eyes with a dumb expression on his face.

“Are you awake?”

-Nothing has changed in my mind or anything…

wow-.

That moment.

Diablo, whose patience had reached its limit, unleashed his magical energy.

“Five minutes have passed.”

A growling voice.

Before he knew it, he was holding the knife he had dropped on the floor in his hand.

-Hey!

thud-.

Behemoth, frightened by Diablo’s demonic energy and life, hit his butt backwards.

The memory didn’t suddenly disappear.

Apparently, just a moment ago, he was preparing to use other demons to drive out Diablo.

but.

‘Why do I do such a stupid thing?’

This was a stupid idea to collect eggs and try to break rocks.

Even if other demons didn’t know, Behemoth definitely knew.

What kind of monster is the Diablo in front of you right now?

“Now can I just hit that guy’s head?”

On the surface, it may seem that nothing has changed.

Diablo raised his sword, thinking that whatever it was, Yuwon’s plan had failed.

I’m thinking of cutting off Behemoth’s head right now.

but.

“There’s no need for that.”

Fit:-.

Yuwon jumped off of Behemoth’s back and blocked Diablo’s path.

“That guy will surrender.”

“surrender? Do you think I will accept that?”

Diablo snorted.

“He who shows his teeth once will show them again.”

I knew it before.

Behemoth, who has a strong greed for power, has been coveting his position since taking over one side of Muspelheim.

To become the king of a race.

That was the greatest greed that Behemoth, who occupied the position just below Diablo, could harbor.

“You have to kill me here and now. “Only then will this fight end.”

“It’s the opposite.”

“the opposite?”

“If what’s here are the demons of Muspelheim that follow Behemoth, then only Behemoth can stop them.”

The wrinkles between Diablo’s brows twitched at Yuwon’s words.

“so?”

“Anyway, make sure to put it down there. Take a pledge and spare my life. At this point, you can even put Muspelheim under you.”

“To Muspelheim?”

Diablo scratched his head as if he was troubled and looked depressed.

“It’s annoying, but…”

“The one who continues to rule is Beemot. Instead, Beemot comes under your control.”

“Are you asking me to forgive that guy?”

“What about forgiveness? They keep it under you and manipulate you.”

-Hi!

Behemoth let out a brief scream as if he thought it would be better to die.

Diablo, who was lost in thought while stroking his chin for a moment, noticed something strange and asked.

“What was that just now?”

“It ate up the dream that was in that guy.”

“Dream? What do you mean?”

“It’s true that he wanted to be king, but he wasn’t the type of person who originally wanted to go this far. So, if you’re going to punish him, punish him only half.”

A puzzling story.

As expected, thinking about things in a complicated way did not suit Diablo’s temperament.

“Okay, let’s do that.”

Clap.

Diablo hung the great sword he was holding on his back again.

“There will be no next time. If you block me again, I will slit your head first, so just know that.”

“Of course. There won’t be any more misbehavior.”

That was also a rejection from Yuwon’s point of view.

They weren’t in any special relationship, and Yuwon had no reason to save Behemoth twice. He

was just there to check on Behemoth right now.

“Behemoth!”

Behemoth’s large body flinched at Diablo’s shout.

“Did you hear that? What are you going to do?”

-Ha, surrender! Surrender unconditionally!

Right now, I wasn’t confident that I could win even with Diablo alone.

Moreover, with the unknown guy who suddenly appeared and Pandora next to him. If I

insisted on fighting any more now, it would be the same as committing suicide.

‘ Rather, I don’t know why I did this crazy thing!’

Thanks to this, it became clear that Diablo would be harassing him to the point of death for a while in the future.

However, Behemoth may have felt aggrieved or not.

Yuwon, who stopped Behemoth while passing by for a while, had to go up again.

Before that,

he watched Diablo for a while . Yuwon’s eyes sparkled.

“Then there’s nothing to do now, right?”

“Huh? What to do?”

In response to Yuwon’s question, Diablo scratched his head with one finger and answered,

“Well, I’m always the one with the limit.”

“The answer seems to understand why that guy rebelled.”

“Are you going to fight?”

“If there is nothing to do, let’s go together. We would have ended up fighting and the excitement would have been ruined.”

Diablo’s eyes sparkled at Yuwon’s words.

Diablo was a fighting fanatic like Son Goku.

He wasn’t happy because he was fighting with members of the same race, but he had to stop in the middle of the fight anyway, which ruined his excitement.

“Do you think there’s anything fun going on?”

“There is. Instead, if possible, don’t kill him.”

“Isn’t that fun?”

“You can kill managers and messengers. The only ones you shouldn’t kill are players like us.”

There was a condition of non-killing.

Diablo, who looked dissatisfied when told that he had to take matters into his own hands, quickly nodded.

“I understand. Well, there’s nothing to do if I stay here anyway.”

Behemoth, who had accepted Yuwon’s companionship, asked,

“But what does this mean?

How far do we have to climb?”

“You only need to go one floor.”

“If it’s the 66th floor… was your business Zeus?”

Diablo looked at Behemoth, wondering if it was possible.

“It was Zeus who told me about that bastard’s betrayal.”

From those words, Yuwon was able to understand how this situation was created.

‘Are they also the eyes of Hermes?’

Zeus’ goal was to have information power at the same level as the Management Bureau.

Considering that, it was natural that he was the first to notice the internal strife that occurred throughout the tower.

The power of Olympus and Zeus’s personal power,

and his intelligence power was as excellent as that of the Management Bureau. Until.

‘You will become a target.’

Even Zeus would not know this.

When a full-scale fight begins, he will be the first target of the managers.

Nevertheless, Zeus did not hide his appearance. Rather,

he used the eyes of Hermes to resolve internal strife that occurred in various places first. Because I was going to do it.

‘Either I have the confidence to stop them, or…’

He was trying to gamble.

Yuwon’s steps became hurried.

“Let’s go.”

* * *

Chijit-.

Zeus, who was sitting in his seat, slowly opened his eyes. He

had enough rest.

It was thanks to Son Goku’s alter ego.

“When a monkey is like this, he does his job properly.”

Sigh…

I slowly got up from my seat.

I couldn’t be so droopy when greeting guests.

That was an embarrassing posture for the king of Olympus.

Boom!

The door to Zeus’s room broke down, revealing a group of people. In front of them

were the heads of several guilds, including

Branil. The guild leader of the Zodiac.

“Please come.”

I had just woken up, so I felt somewhat tired.

My condition was at its peak.

However,

“I welcome you, but I think you may have come to the wrong place.”

“Sorry, but you’ve come to the right place.”

Branyl

, looking nervous, stepped forward.

“Please understand. We too chose a side in search of our own way to live.”

“It’s a way to live…”

Zeus nodded.

“I understand. I also understand the desire to rise higher.”

Branyl, who hesitated for a moment as if he had hit the nail on the head, stared into Zeus’ eyes.

That was correct.

survival.

If that was simply the goal, I might have sided with the players rather than the administrator.

But Branil knew.

Olympus and Asgard. This means that as long as there are several large guilds like Veda, the Chinese Zodiac can never be the main character in this world.

“I don’t hate people like you. No, I don’t like it. “Greed is the energy that is absolutely necessary to move upward.”

Chijit-.

The energy of thunderbolt resided at the tip of Zeus’ finger.

“But this stage is too early for you.”

It was a mistake commonly made by rankers at the bottom.

They live without knowing that the power gap among the top 100 high rankers is completely different from that of general rankers.

Regardless of rankings, this is something you can know if you have been in a large guild for even a short time.

“You do not yet know the higher world.”

At best, if you feel confident that you have surpassed something like Jecheon Daeseong’s self-immolation.

“So I’ll tell you that from now on.”

Just let me know.

To those idiots who work in small guilds and think numbers are everything.

Who Zeus himself is.
