Leveling with the Gods

Chapter 173

* * *

The three eyes that stayed on the pond.

In the midst of quite a long silence, a small voice was heard loudly.

“You lost.”

It was Apollo who broke the long silence and opened his mouth.

Above the pond was Athena, who dropped Aegis on the floor, and Chunmujin, who held a knife to Athena’s neck.

The fight is over.

It was an outcome that no one expected.

“Why don’t you say it now. Why did you call us?”

“…….”

Zeus was silent.

It was the most frightening silence.

Zeus, who had not even changed his expression, had always frightened those close to him.

“Father?”

Call of Artemis.

At that moment, Zeus’ head turned.

“I’ll see you again for three thousand years.”

“What?”

It was an answer that had nothing to do with the question.

Apollo was nervous. He asked again, preparing to leave his seat at any moment.

“Three thousand years, what do you mean?”

“Another childbirth and raising. They become rankers…….”

Zeus blurring the end of his speech.

“It’s time for the lost Olympian power to recover again.”

At that, Apollo got goosebumps.

It was also the answer to his first question.

“Are you thinking of cutting us down, too?”

“Don’t you know that?”

“Because you don’t need it?”

“Yeah.”

Apolon and Artemis did not participate in Giigathomachia, contrary to Zeus’s will.

It was after that’s all.

The Apollo brothers and sisters were out of Zeus’ sight.

‘I was wondering why now… ‘….’

Apollo’s eyes turned to the pond that had been shining on the battlefield until just now.

Was it to tie us up?’

Did he know that Hargan and they had contact?

Before breaking the Olympus in earnest, the two were considering whether to intervene in that fight.

But apparently Zeus knew that.

“It’s all messed up.”

Zeus got up from his seat.

(sighs) (sighs) (sighs) (sighs)

A huge battle erupted around Apollo and Artemis. As if angry, Zeus’s mana surrounded himself with a loud noise.

‘You have to run away.’

I’ve made a definite decision.

Apollo glanced up, looking up.

It was not in case of this, but he had dragged a sun wagon.

‘If only I could get on the wagon… ‘….’

No matter how Zeus, he won’t be able to catch up easily.

by the way

Flashing.

Over the sky, cloudy clouds.

A bright crowd of light gushed out of it.

“It’s been a long time since I met a rich man, and I’m sorry to leave already.”

Crack, Crack, Crack, Crack, Crack, Crack.

The debris of something burned black falls over the open sky.

As soon as he saw it, Apollo’s eyes were torn apart.

What this wreckage is, Apollo immediately recognizes.

“The sun’s wagon… “.’

Hephaestus’s favorite means of transportation in the tower over the years.

It has become ashes of Zeus’s power.

“I’ll ask you one more time.”

That’s right.

Zeus approached brother and sister Apollo.

“Which way, you guys?”

* * *

Athena and Hermes were imprisoned in the deepest prison in Murim. It contained mana and tied itself with a rope that could not break the high ranker.

The heavens have fallen.

The fight was won, but the Catholic Church lost its place.

“We’ll have to move completely.”

“Where?”

“How about Hapbi with Namgoong Sega?”

“There are still a lot of people in the herd who are afraid of Catholicism. It’s too early to move home.”

“But you can’t stay here all the time, can you? Now is the time to ask for cooperation from Moorim.”

“I agree. At this point, I’m here we are.….”

Cheonma Protestant figures gathered at a village or a temporary barracks near Cheonsan to hold a meeting.

There were two themes.

The treatment of the Olympian rankers, including Athena and Hermes captured alive, and the migration of the Catholic home.

Both of them are important, so the meeting didn’t end even if it lasted a day.

And at that time.

YuWon lay in a barracks from the Catholic Church, sighing.

“It takes a long time.”

Like this.

Another stretch of gold.

The egg looked as if it were going to fall apart if you hit it.

Of course, if you were going to hatch it like that, you’d break it or fry it to eat it.

[Hatching]

Boring message.

YuWon took out an egg that might hatch, and watched it quietly.

Perhaps because of the full hatching rate, the purple pattern was nowhere to be found. Instead, the surface of the egg was full of purple and the other part was missing.

I mean, it’s amazing.’

[Hwa An understands the inside.]

YuWon once again used the fire to examine the inside of the cracked egg.

but

I can’t believe I can’t see anything like this.’

Still nothing was seen in the egg.

The egg was still visible only as a purple sphere, even if the eye was used.

This way, but…….’

YuWon turned his head and looked at the woman sitting on the opposite bed.

‘This side is in trouble, too.’

Pandora.

She was staring at the egg like YuWon with blank eyes.

Unlike when we first met, there was not a speck of emotion.

All I’ve eaten is the power of Outer. There was no little scratch on the body.’

It was a novelty.

It looked like it was being eaten by an egg, but Pandora didn’t care on the outside.

The only thing that the egg really ate was “Outer” in Pandora.

Emotional, hollow doll.

That was the current Pandora state YuWon concluded.

Having eaten up all the huge chunks of emotion that she couldn’t control, she had a literally empty expression on her face.

“What are you doing?”

Then, Hargan walked through the cloth and looked into the barracks, and asked YuWon.

YuWon pointed at the egg with his head.

“Why? To eat?”

“No. I thought I’d wake up soon.”

“Oh, is that Shinsu? That?”

Perhaps curious, Hargan glistened his eyes and stepped inside.

But then.

“Argh! Oh, my gosh!”

Hargan, who found Pandora in YuWon’s barracks, screamed in surprise.

He was an enemy just a day ago.

Moreover, Hargan was scared to see Pandora, as he felt uncomfortable enough to want to commit suicide just by being nearby.

“What, what, what? Why are you here?”

“I won’t go even if you tell me to. Without saying a word.

“Then we can kick him out, right?”

“I wish I could.”

YuWon, who shrugged, looked at Hargan and asked.

“But you, can you do that?”

“……No.”

Pandora stuck next to YuWon and didn’t budge.

There was no point in pulling hands, and there was no willingness to go out on his own.

It was impossible to draw by force.

Not only did the torch no longer work, but she was more than Athena simply by force.

Unless Hades comes in person, there’s no one on this side who can pull Pandora out.’

For that reason Pandora was stuck next to YuWon.

In fact, it didn’t have to be kicked out.

Because she really didn’t do anything next to YuWon.

“I don’t think I can stay here. I’m coming.”

“Why?”

“Unlike you, I have a weak nerve. I still feel sick.”

Hargan ran out of the barracks.

Even if he came in anyway, I was going to let him go, so it was a good thing.

Like this.

Gold happening again.

It seems like it’s really time now.

Slowly.

YuWon’s shadow raised a human image.

Undead with Lancelot’s face.

“Arthur.”

Arthur knelt down in front of YuWon.

– Please speak.

“Protect the entrance to the barracks. Don’t let anyone in.”

I don’t know what’s going to happen from now on.

Outer’s power, which he has known so far, was not something this small barracks could handle.

Maybe someone will come in here and get caught up in it, and a really dangerous monster will pop out.

That’s why YuWon called Arthur to guard the barracks.

by the way

Yes, I understand…….

Sneak-.

One step ahead of Arthur, there was a man who listened to YuWon and stood in front of the barracks.

“Pandora…?”

Pandora, who was sitting across from YuWon just now.

She stood guard at the entrance of the barracks, showing her back to YuWon.

“What are you doing?”

“I told him to stop it.”

“I didn’t mean it to you.”

“I heard it.”

It was reckless.

I thought you couldn’t hear me when I told you to go out, but you were too good at this.

“Oh, yeah.”

YuWon knew from what happened just now that there was no point in speaking ill of himself.

In addition, it was not necessary to decline.

If Pandora is standing there, the opponent won’t be able to get in here.

I don’t know what happened, but…….’

The change that happened to Pandora.

It wasn’t until later to find out what it was like.

This is the first place for now.

Whoosh, whoosh.

Gold increases on the purple surface of the egg.

A purple light leaked through the growing gold, and I felt familiar.

‘As expected.’

Orochi’s head, Lancelot, Pandora.

He ate the remnants of Outer and increased the hatching rate.

Of course, I thought the identity was also related to Outer, which turned the speculation into conviction.

Now, there’s one problem.

Outer Gods.

Among them, called foreign media, what kind of person is in here?

Oh, my god.

Gold cracks faster and faster.

It spread throughout the egg and broke the surface, which was really quick compared to the long-awaited time.

GANG-!

Whoosh!

A flock of light emitted from the egg.

YuWon looked at it without avoiding it.

And at that moment.

[?’s egg’ hatches.]

Start your contract with ‘……?’]

“…what?”

I know about hatching, but a contract.

This was unexpected.

The pack of lights didn’t go away easily. The energy was getting stronger, making it difficult to stand close.

Before I knew it, Pandora turned and looked this way.

Tsk, tsk-.

The light and energy emitted from the broken egg surrounds YuWon and begins to enter the body.

The force of the inexplicable, which exists outside the tower.

The moment YuWon accepted the power, YuWon realized.

You’re saying this is this a contract?’

This force was originally possessed by the egg.

Sharing that power, or sharing it together, was the process of the contract.

Shoot.

The power emitted from the egg gradually decreased over time.

Also, the light slowly weakened, revealing its inner appearance.

And then.

[“…?” hatches successfully.]

The growth rate of ‘…?’ is 0%.]

Please name ‘…?’]

The level of ‘…?’ is 1.]

“Level?”

A ridiculous message came up in front of YuWon.
