Leveling with the Gods

Chapter 500

* * *

Crack, crack, crack.

Surrounded by countless Outers, the fear of being torn alive was an unforgettable memory.

Fortunately, I didn’t get sick or anything.

In the first place, it was not ‘experience’ but ‘memory’.

There was no pain in my memory, and there was no cold, frosty feeling in my teeth even though I could hear the sound.

I thought it would stop.

It was then that Azatos’ voice was heard.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

The surrounding landscapes quickly reversed. As if all the purple waves from the sky were distorted, the first black forest appeared.

“…….”

YuWon looked down at his hand.

Thin, thin, but callous hands.

It was his original hand, different from the white one he had just seen.

And in front of YuWon.

You have a pretty dumb face.

Someone was standing.

YuWon’s eyes shook.

This is the inside of “an amorphous chaos.”

The unauthorized, or unqualified, could not step into this place.

Pandora, that’s why she was surprised when she suddenly appeared.

That’s not true.

“Azatos?”

This man is probably the one who just became YuWon.

Glance-.

YuWon looked at Azatos.

If maple becomes an adult, will it look like this?

Neat white hair, pale face as hair color, and black clothes surrounded by body match black and white to create a mysterious atmosphere.

What’s the point of asking even though you know?

“There was something I wanted to ask you when we met.”

What is it?

“What are the autumn leaves?”

I was curious all along.

What were the autumn leaves? Why did he come out of such a small egg?

And why, he suddenly disappeared from his side.

“Is that you? Or a name that came off you? Or simply…….”

YuWon stopped talking while asking questions.

A lot of speculation on my own.

However, since he met Azatos anyway, the speculations he had alone were no longer meaningful.

He’ll have all the answers anyway.

– He was Azatos.

Azatos opened his mouth.

And it was the same as YuWon first expected.

only

It almost happened.

Such Azatos’ words were overturned in an instant.

“Brazen, what are you doing?”

– I’m not going to die. It just looks like it’s going to die, it just feels like it.

Something that doesn’t feel strange to me.

Even the phoenix, a mere delicacy, is revived from the ashes of the fire. Can’t I say that?

YuWon, as expected, had heard of this.

‘Is this the same time?’

It was Azatos who slit Shub Niguras’ throat and took her name again.

He told YuWon the story he shared with Shub Niguras. And YuWon recognized what Azatos was trying to say with that.

“Was the egg a medium for your resurrection?”

Azatos smiled faintly.

Is the meaning of laughter positive or negative?

Azatos smiled like that and raised his head. The black sky here was different from the purple sky outside YuWon knew.

You asked, didn’t you? Why did you do that?

It certainly was.

For a moment YuWon became Azatos and hung his memory on it. His life didn’t make sense throughout, and the last was even more incomprehensible.

Why did he do that?

Azatos must have had names that would overwhelm all those Outers.

As I said earlier, I thought it would stop. I thought I’d be satisfied if I took all the remaining names from me.

“To stop?”

You just sacrificed yourself for it?

“Why did you have to do that? If that happens, you’ll lose your power.”

You don’t know me yet. No, you’re asking even though you know.

That was to the point.

I knew the truth. Why Azatos made such a decision.

I just wanted to hear it again through his mouth.

Why did I give them names?

“Because they’re your children, you gave them their names.”

You know it well.

I had no choice but to know.

For a moment, he became Azatos. I had his memories and shared his thoughts.

His only weakness, born in terrible chaos and with God-like power.

It was a heart of love for the things that he named.

– Azatos won’t die.

He spoke as if he were calling someone else’s name.

But it’s just a rebirth.

Azatos’s eyes turned down YuWon’s feet.

YuWon’s eyes followed Azatos’ eyes to see what he was looking at. And there was a familiar guy reaching out for YuWon.

“Abaaa-.”

“Autumn leaves?”

YuWon lifted up the autumn leaves reaching for him. Somehow I felt a lot more weight than before. He seemed to be a little taller, too.

– amorphous chaos It was my first name.

“Maple leaves?”

I really don’t like that lame name.

“It’s much easier and cuter than the weird and difficult names you make.”

The name “Maple” came to mind without much thought.

An amorphous chaos, a black forest goat with a thousand cubs, the unborn…….

All sorts of complicated, difficult, vague names.

YuWon and Azatos’ names were made in a completely different way.

“Don’t you think?”

“Right away…”

At YuWon’s question, the autumn leaves raised their cute hands and nodded.

Fall foliage had already fallen into his name. Since birth, other names that have never been called have never been heard.

YuWon looked at Azatos as if to look at it. Azatos dodged his eyes and turned his head.

A look of displeasure somewhere.

It doesn’t matter, you’re going to have to carry anything, not me from now on.

“Did I?”

As I said before, Azatos will not die. It’s just a rebirth.

It was the same thing, but the feeling of acceptance was completely different.

YuWon looked at the autumn leaves in his arms.

It seemed like he didn’t know anything, but he was definitely the next Azatos.

– Azatos is a name that does not disappear even if it disappears. A new body is revived with a name again with previous memories. I was like that, too.

Memory meant Pandora. What she showed YuWon was clearly the past that Azatos had gone through.

Then a new body is also.

‘Is that him?’

Fall foliage asking me to swing my arms down because I feel uncomfortable hugging them.

YuWon listened to Azatos as he lowered the autumn leaves below.

He was the next Azatos I planned. Until you’re here.

“Why me?”

This guy was worried about you.

“Me?”

It wasn’t a surprise.

Fall foliage was worried about him, not the first thing he knew.

He advised himself that it was dangerous to help him fight Shub Niguras.

It was clearly a word of concern for YuWon.

I wanted you to be Azatos.

“That’s why?”

– I didn’t worry, but I also think you’re better.

“Why?”

Because unlike me, you hate them.

Them

I’m talking about Outers.

YuWon nodded at Azatos’ eyes, saying, “Isn’t that so?”

I got hit.

He hated them himself.

I didn’t expect my planned body to fall into the hands of a guy like you. A man who knows what’s out there. A man who will confront them. Coincidentally, the conditions are just right here.

A situation that even Azatos didn’t expect.

That was YuWon’s existence, and Azatos’ first name was put in his hands.

It was embarrassing, but it didn’t hurt.

If this is fate.

As fate dictated, Azatos was willing to comply.

“He’s back off.”

YuWon now knows Azatos.

How great he is. Even how weak they are inside.

Azatos laughed when he must have been cursed.

He did not deny YuWon’s words.

At the end, the little boy told me something. My stupid, stupid father.

A skinny, faceless little boy who followed Azatos.

Nyala Toteb, a traitor who stole the name “Foolish Chaos” from Azatos.

He cursed Azatos for being foolish. Perhaps the folly he says is that Azatos has put down all his names.

– That’s true. I was foolish. I couldn’t eat my heart out, and I had a false expectation that they would stop.

“Because you had the power from the beginning. But most of them are different.”

YuWon entered the tower, passed the test and became a ranker.

I saw countless players in the process. Those who first passed the tutorial and arrived on the first floor and shed tears. Those who have resolutions and resolutions.

Apparently they are much stronger than they were in the beginning. Nevertheless, he climbed the tower.

I was…… the same.

I remembered the first time I entered the tower.

YuWon certainly climbed the tower at a tremendous speed, if not now.

He quickly made a name for himself by changing the ranking on each floor. By the time he became a ranker, YuWon was already standing shoulder to shoulder with the high rankers.

And there’s one reason why I was able to do that.

It was because of the desire to rise higher.

“Once you have power, you want more power. If you have more power, you want more power, and then you don’t know where to stop.”

Words from experience.

Azatos nodded his head.

He was perfect from the start.

That was Azatos’ biggest flaw, so he didn’t know that the beings who gave out the names were different from him.

“I don’t know about anything else, but he did a good job. A stupid, stupid father. It looks good on you.”

Wouldn’t you be different?

Expectation from Azatos to YuWon.

It was because of YuWon’s purpose, which is the opposite of himself.

-You have a goal.
