Leveling with the Gods

[Level Up with God Side Story Episode 85]

* * *

Flash!

The world turned white.

All sound and color disappeared, leaving only Zeus alone.

Jeopuk-.

All the screams and cries are drowned out, and only the sound of his footsteps is heard.

Branyl closed his eyes and sat down on the floor.

Zeus approached him and said:

“After all, I don’t hate people like you.”

Chiji chijiji-.

A place where a pure white lightning swept past.

The colors slowly return, and various rankers begin to appear around Branille.

“A greedy person is beautiful. “The only difference is whether you achieve it or not.”

Zeus snapped his fingers toward Branil’s forehead.

Tuk-.

dump-.

Branil’s body flinched as he fell backwards.

I remained conscious but could not move my body.

My whole body was paralyzed and I couldn’t even lift a finger.

“I achieved it. That’s how he ascended to this position and became the ruler.”

“Knock….”

“Knock-.”

“Uk uweeh-.”

Sporadic breathing and vomiting sounds were heard everywhere.

Zeus looked around at the rankers squirming as they tried to move their bodies and continued,

“It is still too early for you to reach this stage. No, you may never be able to reach it.”

“Hey!”

Branil, who had finally come to his senses by summoning up all the magic power in his body, fell to the floor and quickly exhaled. Although his strength had not yet returned to his body,

he was able to slightly twist his head.

He lay on the floor like that and looked up at Zeus.

‘What is going on? ‘What happened?’

In an instant, my entire memory was gone.

For a split second,

it seemed as if magic had formed on Zeus’ fingertips, and after that, all memories disappeared.

“So, I’ll tell you that from now on.”

It was like he heard a sound.

From his fingertips.

The sound of thunder that could only be heard in the sky.

‘

It was a blow.’

They couldn’t even see it.

When they just stretched out their hands toward the door they had broken through, this scene unfolded. A

higher world they didn’t know about.

Zeus showed it to them.

‘Is this… a heavenly god?’

Heavenly God.

It was a modifier attached to the name of Zeus for thousands of years.

One of the three gods of Olympus.

The owner of a huge guild who sat on the throne of heaven.

It was also another name for the strongest player.

“Go away .” .”

Sigh.

Zeus ignored Branil and other rankers and raised his head and looked up at the sky.

“I wasn’t waiting for brats like you.”

No one died.

It wasn’t that they showed mercy.

They decided it wasn’t worth killing them in the first place for fear of being a threat.

Above all, the biggest reason they got here was the intervention of the administrators.

Sure enough.

Spot-.

Pupupuk. -.

The swords plunged into Zeus’s back.

Zeus’ stomach, chest, arms and legs were pierced at the same time. The

four messengers who appeared from behind opened their mouths with clown-like smiles.

“I guess you were waiting for us?”

“This is enough as a welcome greeting.”

Paget-.

At that moment.

Kwarung-!

Zeus’ body exploded and the messengers were swept away by the blue lightning. The

blue lightning was Indra’s lightning, which had the most destructive properties.

The bodies of the errands were instantly charred

. Immediately after.

Sigh.

Behind the statue erected at the edge of the pond.

Zeus appeared and smiled.

“I tried imitating a monkey.”

Zeus asked, looking at the messengers who fell after being caught in

the alter ego created by lightning ,

“Are you okay?”

“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

…

” “

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

”

That means-.

“So I said it wouldn’t work, right?”

“I just wasted errand boys for no reason.”

“He is not someone you should take lightly. Why would he beat Vishnu for no reason?”

-It meant that the managers above them had also come.

Managers wearing robes.

From giant-like figures to silhouettes so delicate that one might think they were women.

Each of the four managers gave off a different feeling even though they were covered in robes.

Parak -.

The images of managers who had taken off their robes were reflected in Zeus’s eyes. A

manager who looked like a beggar looking like the manager in the tutorial.

A short old man with a stooped waist. A

beautiful woman with a narrow waist and tall stature.

And even the gender was unknown. Even faceless people.

“A lot of people came.”

Four people.

It was the largest number within the expected range.

There was no reason to despair just because there were so many.

They were the ones called by Zeus in the first place.

“Isn’t that too arrogant?”

“I did all the provocation by myself.”

“I expected it, but I was really alone. Hercules wasn’t there.”

The administrators moved the rankers, including Branil, to find out whether Zeus, who had been provoking them, was alone.

They became the eyes and ears of the administrators and searchers to see if there was anyone else in the temple in the sky.

“But still . “Be careful. Your opponent is Zeus.”

“Didn’t the management bureau say that too? That guy is number one.”

Ranking first in the management bureau.

Zeus thought to himself when he heard those words.

‘Is that the basis for the ranking?’

Players were curious.

What on earth is the standard for ranking?

There was no single definition. However, one guess was that the standard would never be just one.

Power, influence, wealth, influence, achievements…

and all kinds of other criteria were included in the ranking. It was applied in a complex manner

to the ranking of the ranking management country.

However, the reason for the existence of the ranking was precisely this.

‘Judgment on whether or not there is a risk.’

Something like today couldn’t have been prepared in a day or two.

Zeus also knew

that they were now being torn apart by the old beings of the tower called administrators.

If they were truly the owners of the tower , If they thought so,

they should have helped them

ten years ago, or even longer than that, when foolish chaos was running through the tower.

“They said the Bureau has the best intelligence network, but it seems they were wrong.”

Zeus’s words drew the attention of the managers to him. Their

expressions asked what kind of nonsense that was.

Zeus’s next words were arrogant, as befits him.

“Otherwise, there’s no way there were only four of us.”

It means that he would have had to have brought more than four people to deal with him.

Some managers scoffed at those words.

Even if he was Zeus, it didn’t make sense for him to be this confident against four managers.

In fact,

it was different from the confidence he showed on the outside . Zeus’s eyes were slowly looking at the managers one by one.

‘They are not from the lower levels.’

In particular, there was a particularly striking manager among them.

‘Especially that woman…’

Zeus’ eyes narrowed and he looked at the manager standing on the far right.

‘I have a bad feeling.’

She had a different feeling from the other managers.

Not only did she have ominous magical energy that wavered irregularly, but she also had a murderous spirit from the moment she appeared.

What on earth was she angry about?

The reason was immediately clear from her words.

“It’s him, right? “For killing my sister.”

Sister.

I don’t know what kind of person she was, but if she was the manager’s sister, there was a high possibility that she was the same manager. A

fairly high-level manager at that.

If there was someone who could kill someone like that, there was at least one person that came to mind in Zeus’s head.

‘That’s what he did.’

Floor 94.

In the realm of Deva, Yuwon captured the manager.

After returning from there, Yuwon shared information with Zeus,

saying that he had discovered the manager who killed Vishnu.

‘I said he was that guy’s younger brother.’

That means,

‘It’s him.’

A manager who was angry at herself.

Her anger made three other managers say,

“This is just speculation.”

“It’s a highly probable guess.”

“Zeus wasn’t on the 94th floor at that time.”

“But it’s not Hercules or Jecheon Daeseong.”

Administrators were unable to find the person who killed Chatogua, the manager on the 94th floor.

It was natural.

Because it was Kim Yu-won who killed him.

“What about this guy named Kim Yu-hoon?”

“It’s a name that has never caught the attention of the management bureau. “That guy is fake.”

Yoo Won worked under the pseudonym Kim Yu-hoon.

But no one believed that he was a person who fell from the sky.

It will be confusing.

The more people trusted their own information network created under the name of the Ranking Management Bureau, the more the confusion would inevitably grow.

Because he was truly a person who fell from the sky.

“If Kim Yu-hoon is correct, the question is who used that name.”

“The strong candidate is that guy, now!”

“Calm down, Jotakua.”

“My sister died, but now she’s calmed down!”

Kiyeeee-!

“Kwaaaa-!”

“Aaaah-!”

The voice of death shakes my eardrums.

The rankers who were lying on the ground screamed in pain, and some of them lost consciousness.

Zeus, who was nearby, was also not in a very happy mood.

“I will kill them all! That guy, Hercules, and Jecheon Daeseong! “Everyone who might have killed my sister!”

A face distorted horribly.

All kinds of ominous magic filled the surroundings.

The administrators reached out and even the rankers who had come here trembled at her anger.

But actually.

Zeus laughed at Jotakua’s anger.

“that’s right.”

Jotakua’s face is distorted like a monster.

“I killed him.”

And the moment those words fell.

“Zeus-!”

Two hit!

Jotakua lost his temper and rushed towards Zeus.

It was a short enough moment that it could be said to be a moment.

The movement of the charging Jotakua was so fast that everything seemed to have stopped.

But it didn’t matter how fast it was.

Because she couldn’t reach Zeus from the beginning.

Kwaung-!

A curtain of lightning rises from the ground.

Jotakua, who was rushing, hesitated and stopped.

Is it a trap?

Before the question in my head could be concluded, the pillar of electricity rising from the ground quickly expanded its range.

Quaung, quauuung!

Flash!

A pillar of electricity rises from the ground.

Its scope encompassed the entire temple where Zeus resided.

“Jotakua!”

“It’s not unusual! Joining….”

I couldn’t hear what was said later.

It was because the voices of the other managers were drowned out by the sound of thunder around them.

Kwa-rung-rumbling-.

Kwaung-!

A thunderbolt struck the ground and rose into the sky.

The entire temple was struck by lightning . [The ‘Temple of Thunderbolts’ is temporarily activated.]

“The Temple of Thunderbolts?

”

This is a name I’ve never heard of before.

Perhaps this is Zeus’ unique technology that the managers don’t know about.

“You managers always think that all the magic power is theirs.”

Chisit-.

On the stage where lightning was shaking.

Zeus was literally like a fish out of water.

“I’m curious.”

“…!”

Paget.

Zeus suddenly appeared before my eyes.

His palm covered Jotakua’s face.

“The owner of the magic power here is me or you.”

Kwarung-!
