Leveling with the Gods

[Level Up with the Gods Side Story Episode 89]

“Who do you think killed Yog-Sothoth?”

The eyes of the great dreamer in the fog widened as if torn.

I felt a coldness as if my soul was freezing.

Perhaps no one knows better than you what that single question means.

-You… I guess

not.

I thought so. Because he is already gone.

Because Azathoth was a being that no longer remained in this world.

-Don’t be bluff.

if.

Even if the probability is one in tens of thousands, if it is true.

-You can’t be him. he disappeared

The very thought filled the Great Dreamer with fear.

The one who killed Yog-Sothoth.

He was one of the two feared by the Great Dreamer.

“Do you really think so?”

That moment.

Cheok-.

[‘Amorphous spirit■’ complains of hunger.]

[‘Amorphous spirit■’ drools.]

Numerous teeth appeared.

A name similar to the heart of Azathoth.

The monster in chaos that ate all names drooled as it watched the dream.

“Is this still the case?”

-This is…

As the amorphous chaos appeared, the voice of the dream fragment trembled.

A voice mixed with fear and confusion.

Yuwon was certain that the guy was feeling fear through the writhing haze.

but.

-Imitate his name.

As much as I know Azathoth better than anyone else.

The name of Broken Chaos was not enough to fool him.

“If you think like that, you can’t do it.”

Scott-.

Yuwon pulled out a sword from his belt.

[‘The Adversary of the Other World’ opposes the ‘Fragment of the Great Dream’.] [

‘The Sword of the Other World (2nd)’ reacts to the ‘Fragment of the Great Dream’.] The

sword that cuts the Other World and the name begins to run wild. do.

When I showed off my opponent from this world with this sword.

“If you really want to fight, you have no choice but to kill everyone.”

He was only a Yuwon.

Spot-.

The tip of Yuwon’s sword cut through the purple haze.

If it had been the original, there was no way it would have been cut down.

It’s just a collection of unrealistic dreams.

It wasn’t something that could be cut with a knife or anything.

Even the Great Dream, looking beyond the fog, knew it.

but.

Knock-.

It was eventually cut down.

On Yuwon’s sword. And it was the power of Yuwon’s deity.

-You are our natural enemy.

He was rather relieved.

The power to oppose the other world.

It was because I thought there was no way Azathoth could have this kind of power.

“It’s cut into bite-size pieces.”

Cheok-.

The teeth of chaos opened their mouths.

“Eat it up.”

[‘The amorphous spirit■’ feasts on the ‘fragments of the great dream.’]

Enemy-!

It eats up formless dreams.

More delicious than any other mountain and sea food.

Even as it was devoured by its teeth, the great dream spoke as a warning to Yuwon.

-Who are you? We will definitely find out.

Please wait.

Munch-.

It was nothing more than a fragment from the name, not the main body.

The meal ended quickly.

Yuwon put his sword back into its sheath.

‘Find out.’

He knew that his name was infinitely insignificant compared to Azathoth.

Azathoth, the father of all things and the origin of names.

I thought if I showed him his name he might stop, but that wasn’t the case.

‘You don’t want to believe it.’

To be clear, he was not Azathoth.

Even though he had his memories and some of his abilities, that didn’t mean they were the same being.

The difference was clear.

It’s big.

‘There is no one who can compare to him. Even if it’s Sothos.’

Yog Sothoth. Shub Niguras. Nyala Totep.

Even they, who could be considered the leader of the Outers, were mere insignificant figures compared to Azathoth.

In the first place, Azathoth could not be seen as someone who killed him, as he was just killed.

Even after dying like that, he was showing signs of resurrection regardless of his will.

‘Are you saying it’s not enough?’

I understand.

This guy is not himself, but a being who has experienced the real Azathoth.

I decided that I couldn’t trust it and that even if I did believe it, I could fight it.

“it’s over?”

Pandora’s voice was heard nearby.

I asked for Zeus, who was obviously down.

Quality-.

Yuwon turned his head and realized that she had not ignored his request.

She was dragging Zeus, who was unconscious, by his collar.

Zeus being dragged on the floor.

It was a rare sight.

“It’s over.”

Yuwon said that and looked at the autumn leaves sitting on Pandora’s head.

“Autumn leaves.”

“Abba-?”

“We were ignored.”

The little guy’s cheeks swelled.

Maple, assimilated by name, shared Yuwon’s feelings.

The medicine probably went up quickly.

“Honae.”

Although the pronunciation was incorrect, I could clearly understand what was being said.

“okay.”

Sigh-.

Yuwon raised his fist and held it out to Danpung.

It was his first time doing this, but he knew what Yuwon wanted, so he curled his fingernail-sized fist and held it out.

“Let’s scold you.”

Tuk-.

* * *

Boom-.

The flame giant knelt on the floor.

Cthuga’s body, which had lost one foot and had both arms broken, was slowly extinguishing the flame that had been burning so brightly just a moment ago.

-It seems… too late.

He looked at Hercules standing below him.

Although his body is charred and he is breathing heavily.

Unlike himself, Hercules’ fighting spirit still remained unquenched.

-You should have moved earlier before you got any bigger. No, I should have been weaker with them ten years ago.

Hercules was strong.

Ranked 2nd.

That meant that the management bureau assessed his level of risk to be second only to Zeus.

It was as he said.

He wasn’t as smart as Zeus or had special skills like Son Goku’s self-immolation technique.

The strength of his body collision was strong enough to overcome everything.

chuck-.

Hercules took a step toward Cthuga and looked up at the sky.

Empty clear sky.

The huge snake that was blocking the blue light had already left its spot.

‘Did he run away?’

He was a clever guy.

As soon as you decide that victory is in your favor, you abandon your colleagues and run away.

bang-.

Hercules jumped high, hitting the ground, and landed on the back of Cthuga’s neck.

The fight is over.

Kthuga no longer resisted.

They would rather face a clean death than struggle in ugly resistance.

Buuung-.

Tsk-!

The club struck Kthuga in the neck.

Wow-.

Cthuga’s body fell forward with a cracking sound.

thud-.

When the giant fell, the battlefield stopped.

The other manager ran away, and Asgard’s Valkyries took over and sorted out the messengers.

Now with this.

Asgard was briefly restored to safety.

chuck-.

“We won!”

“Asgard-!”

“Long live forever!”

The Valkyries, starting with Brunnhilde, cheered.

Long live Asgard.

It was a cheer like a spell that had been passed down since the kingdom was first founded.

And one person among them.

There was only one person who couldn’t cheer.

“There might be a world like that somewhere.”

He smiled bitterly in response to Kthuga’s words.

In a fight where there are winners and losers, someone always dies.

It was the same this time too.

“No, it should have been that way.”

That day ten years ago.

Hercules used Clockwork to meet himself from the future.

“It’s like looking in a mirror.”

A body that feels as if steel is alive and moving.

Although his face did not look old on the outside, his eyes had changed over time.

It was his future self who had been fighting the Outers for a long time.

‘If it was original.’

This world was destined to be like that.

Let alone fighting and winning, they would have been defeated and the world taken away.

‘We are saved. To that guy.’

You must not forget it.

That guy.

* * *

A half-broken temple.

Yuwon found a relatively clean room and laid Zeus down.

“But there was a decent room.”

Cracked wall.

Many rankers, Zeus, and administrators fought, but it was fortunate that only this much was destroyed.

of course.

This was only possible because Zeus separated the fighting space from the administrators.

Mulberry-.

I opened the cap of the potion I took out of my inventory and poured it into the wound.

A high-level potion that you carry with you at all times.

I used the points without hesitation because I knew I could get them back twice as much later.

Zeus swallowed his sleep, perhaps feeling the coolness of the potion while he was unconscious.

He used a high-level potion and had good recovery ability, so he would wake up soon.

Yuwon, who had finished treating Zeus, looked back at Pandora.

“Shall we go?”

“why?”

Pandora blinks and tilts her head.

The expression on his face asked where he was going this time.

“It’s not like I have anywhere to go. “I’m afraid it might be uncomfortable.”

“me?”

“uh. “It’s not a very welcoming place.”

More than anything else, Yuwon was most concerned about Pandora’s past.

When we first met her, she was traumatized by her long confinement.

It’s gotten a lot better now, but I couldn’t feel at ease with the main culprit right in front of me.

but.

“are you okay.”

Pandora shook her head.

“Just stay next to me.”

For her, who she was next to was more important than where she was.

“Uh…”

In response to Pandora’s answer, Yuwon hesitated for a moment and nodded.

“Yes. That… “If that’s the case…”

Pandora’s answers like this once in a while greatly embarrassed Yuwon.

Why

on earth did he depend on himself so much? At first, he thought it was a burden and simply because he thought he had received help, but that wasn’t the case any more.

Maybe it was himself . Do.

You might be feeling the same way now.

“Abukoreri-.”

A voice with a muffled pronunciation was heard at that time.

Above Pandora’s head, the autumn leaves were looking up at Yuwon and smiling.

Although I couldn’t tell what was being said in words, the meaning was conveyed.

‘Erlericolleri?’

Yuwon’s expression crumpled.

What does a little guy know?

He clenched his fist for a moment, wanting to hit that little guy on the head, but sighed, wondering if he was acting like a child. “Then, just

until Hercules comes back.” “Let’s stay.”

“huh.”

Zeus might wake up first.

Or Hercules might come back first.

But neither of them would take that long.

‘But we can’t take a nap here together…’

Yuwon glanced at his hand. I looked down at the cold ring.

“Pandora.”

“huh?”

“Please wait a moment.”

There was no need for detailed explanation.

Pandora nodded at Yuwon’s words and told him to go.

Now she was also a colleague I could trust more than anyone else.

Hit it-.

A ring that sparkles in your hand.

The magic power contained within it began to move in response to Yuwon’s magic power.

[‘Heart of Uranus’ is activated.]

[Look into ‘Tartaros’.]

When I activated the ring, countless souls contained within it were visible.

Tartarus.

At the bottom of hell, in the sea of the dead.

‘I’m trying to be quiet.’

[Entering ‘Tartaros.’]

Yuwon jumped into the sea to meet the guy inside.
