Leveling with the Gods

Chapter 304

C304

Fwoosh-.

It was another way to use the Golden Cinder Eyes.

Although it made distant objects appear close enough to grasp, the principle was different from that of a telescope.

YuWon felt as if Foolish Chaos was right in front of him.

'We've come this far.'

Kak!

He sweated on the hand that held Nir.

He wished to throw the spear he had in his hand with all his might, but he couldn't do it in that situation.

-This is an interesting scene.

Foolish Chaos's voice resonated directly in his head.

Undoubtedly, he was self-aware. He had probably been for a long time.

-This is the first battle between the Outer Gods and the Inner Realm (Insiders).

Foolish Chaos declared the battle.

These were not words to be taken lightly.

He had made a decision. From now on, the real fight would begin.

Probably, the intervention of the Outer Gods would be much more intense from this moment on.

No...

It was already much more intense than the future that was originally destined.

'It must be something urgent.'

The Gigantomachy, Ragnarok, and the Great Celestial War.

Most of the predicted events had failed. Instead, their nakedness was exposed, and Zeus, who should have been on their side, turned against them.

Many things had gone awry. If the foundation had become a mess, what was to come was destined to change.

"So, you will take the initiative first, won't you?"

YuWon looked at Zeus, who was fighting in the distance alongside a massive Outer in the sky.

Despair That Reaches The Skies.

Originally, revealing its figure in the Tower would be something that would happen much later.

But Despair had already shown itself.

YuWon saw clearly with his own eyes what kind of disaster would occur if it was unleashed upon the world.

So, the fight was also inevitable on this side.

'Don't get too excited.'

YuWon's gaze turned to Son OhGong, who was looking at Foolish Chaos with fiery eyes.

At this moment, YuWon called upon Son OhGong for this occasion.

He had sensed Foolish Chaos's presence from a similar moment to when Zeus felt it. OhGong already knew that Foolish Chaos was preparing something, moving around.

Therefore, YuWon had to act accordingly.

OhGong's presence was one of them.

The problem was that he didn't know what spontaneous action OhGong would take.

'Confronting that guy here is not a good choice.'

Foolish Chaos was the axis of the Outer Gods. He had long infiltrated the Tower and caused countless incidents.

Despite that, Foolish Chaos had never shown his true form or used his power.

The reason was simple.

It's not that he didn't want to, but he couldn't.

It was evident that he was subject to some restriction. Foolish Chaos had never presented himself directly or acted until the boundaries of the Tower collapsed and disappeared.

But if the issue jeopardized his own safety, the story would change.

'I know what kind of thoughts you have...'

So, the enemy they had to fight now was not Foolish Chaos.

'Don't provoke me too much.'

------------

Fwoosh-.

Sparks danced in their eyes.

Son OhGong and Foolish Chaos stared at each other for a while.

Son OhGong restrained himself several times from wielding the staff he had in his hand.

If it weren't for YuWon's advice, he might have acted immediately.

"Why do you hate me so much?"

When you have an enemy you must face, it's natural to have some animosity toward them, no matter how powerful they are.

But now, what Son OhGong reflected was not simply a common enemy.

It was the determination born of resentment and grudges.

In response to Foolish Chaos's question, Son OhGong tightly gripped the staff.

"I don't want to tell you the reason."

"You don't want to tell? Is there a reason?"

Foolish Chaos's question made Son OhGong's expression become confused.

He realized that his response was incorrect in the end.

And Foolish Chaos's reaction to that was also predictable.

'It seems calling him Stone Monkey before he became Great Sage, Heaven's Equal wasn't in vain.'

Indeed, Foolish Chaos had shown a certain caution toward Son OhGong in the past.

His talent and sense of battle, his powerful companions known as the Seven Heavenly Demons, and his cheat ability of Immortality would be a great threat at any time. (Note: These Heavenly Demons have nothing to do with the Murim World)

That's why Foolish Chaos severed Son OhGong's hands and feet.

He eliminated the Seven Heavenly Demons and imprisoned the immortal Son OhGong in the heavenly prison.

He thought that was the end.

He thought he no longer had to worry about Son OhGong, but...

'I never thought I would face him in this way.'

Even a fool could see who was behind Son OhGong.

Kim YuWon.

He was moving behind Son OhGong.

'This is not good.'

Son OhGong and Kim YuWon.

While one may not know the power of Kim YuWon, even Foolish Chaos seemed cautious of Son OhGong's abilities.

Above all, he possessed the power of immortality. It didn't mean there was no way to kill him, but achieving that result immediately would not be possible.

In this situation, avoiding the fight was the best option.

"I'm sorry, but I don't feel like fighting you in particular."

Suuhhh-.

Foolish Chaos's body became transparent.

His presence vanished from the place. Foolish Chaos intended to leave like that.

However...

Zas!

As if to show that he wouldn't let him go, Son OhGong ran directly toward him.

'There's no way.'

Great Sage, Heaven's Equal could never catch him.

No, no one could.

'When I get out of here, first...'

However...

Thwack!

Son OhGong's fist struck Foolish Chaos's head.

Crack, crunch!

The branches he stood on broke, and the ground sank. Foolish Chaos, trapped inside, realized that he had overlooked something important.

"The Golden Cinder Eyes?"

The power to see through everything.

He had heard rumors about it. The Golden Cinder Eyes were the most dangerous ability Foolish Chaos had perceived from Great Sage, Heaven's Equal.

Crackle-.

Son OhGong's eyes still looked at him from the top of the tree.

The momentum was quite sharp.

"Shall we give it a try?"

It was complicated.

He couldn't simply avoid the place, but he couldn't confront it carelessly either.

And it didn't seem like Son OhGong would let him go easily.

But above all...

'It's not just him, right?'

Behind Son OhGong was Kim YuWon.

The spear he was activating had power comparable to Odin's Gungnir.

Tsutsu, tsutsutsu...

The spear began to emit considerable force from afar.

If it struck directly, he wouldn't come out unscathed.

'It's complicated, it's complicated...'

Purple eyes blinked from beneath the robe.

In an instant, Son OhGong's and Foolish Chaos's eyes met.

"Grow-"

Son OhGong pointed his Ru Yi Bang at him.

"Ru Yi."

Boom!

---------------------

BANG-!

Hargan's two fists collided in the center.

A thunderous sound erupted between their fists, and in the next moment, the lightning-charged fist descended toward the ground.

Twack!

The purple waves rushing toward Hargan dispersed in all directions.

In this final attack, Hargan unleashed a large amount of Arcane Power, staggering for a moment before standing up again.

"Whew..."

He exhaled an exhausted breath as he looked around.

There was no end. He didn't even know what he was fighting against, and the mental fatigue was intensifying.

"My Father..."

Crack!

The thunder in the sky didn't cease.

His strike pushed Despair back, shattering its arms and legs. The demonic form in Hargan's vision screamed.

Zeus had nothing to worry about.

The problem was himself.

"Cha!"

The purple waves enveloped him once again from behind.

Though he knew it, Hargan, who wanted to rest a little longer, turned around.

Pazhizhizhik!

He had been gathering power in advance.

He couldn't expect these guys to stay idle while he remained still.

Kwauung!

The lightning that surged from his hand repelled the enemy again. For a moment, the joy faded, and dizziness overcame Hargan due to the Arcane Power flowing out of his body.

Kak-.

"Damn it..."

Every moment was a crisis situation.

Since these guys were difficult to kill, he had to release a large amount of Arcane Power over and over again.

Even enduring with his mental strength had its limits.

Hargan reached out his hand toward the tentacles directly approaching him.

Chijik-.

The lightning that had accumulated in his hand dispersed. It was a discharge.

Now he truly had no energy left.

"It's over..."

"You've grown quite well."

Fweok-!

The tentacle aimed at Hargan's neck fell to the ground. A spear flying from somewhere had pierced the tentacle.

There was no need to ask whose spear it was.

The shadow of a giant, at least one head larger than Hargan, covered him.

A High-Ranker with blue hair who appeared alongside the damp air.

Poseidon.

"Whose son do you think he is? It's obvious."

Tsu-tsu-tsu-.

The shadow of Poseidon twisted, and the figure of a man emerged from it.

Hargan turned his head to look at Hades, who appeared alongside Poseidon.

"Hargan, the successor of Olympus..."

"We'll save strict formalities for family gatherings."

Tsu-tsu-tsu-.

Hades's gesture caused the ground to turn black.

"For now, it seems we must deal with these things first."

Fwooosh-!

In an instant, the world's time shifted to night. At the same time, Poseidon raised his spear, and water surged from the ground to form a river.

Both changed day to night and altered the landscape. The approaching Outer Gods were crushed by the water's pressure and vanished into darkness.

The power of the two extended to distances beyond Hargan's sight. The Outer Gods, who had been relentlessly advancing, could no longer approach and hesitated.

Truly, they were the Three Gods.

The first encounter where the Three Gods joined forces to fight.

"Now the situation has changed in our favor."

The most dangerous enemy was blocked by Zeus.

Now, the situation was stable enough that either Poseidon or Hades alone would be more than enough for the few stragglers remaining.

But now that the two had joined forces, it was safer than ever.

"Can you finally show a relaxed expression?"

Poseidon scolded Hargan with a stern voice.

"Ha, ha, ha."

Hargan smiled satisfactorily, his face illuminated by relief.

Poseidon had always been known for his severity, even within Olympus.

Of course, it was all the more reassuring now that he was.

"Yes. It's not over until it's over."

"Tsk..."

Poseidon looked at Hargan with a contemptuous expression.

Then he abruptly turned his head, bewildering Hargan with his reaction.

And then...

"It's not over; now it begins."

Hades turned his head and looked toward the sky.

Naturally, Hargan's gaze followed the direction.

And there...

"As that guy said."

Gruuuu-.

The mouth of the Despair That Reaches The Skies opened, and something small twisted and emerged from it.

A being that showed a presence far greater than Despair itself.

"Someone else is inside."

"I see it too."

Hades opened his mouth with concern.

"Don't move recklessly, do what was agreed upon."

"You're the one who should least tarnish the name of Olympus. That brat is also fighting well."

"That guy has always been superior to us."

Although they were the three rulers bound by the name of Olympus, they rarely gathered in one place, let alone fought together.

Unlike other grand alliances, Olympus was known for its individualistic approach due to the influence of its three rulers.

But now, the Three Gods were gathered in one place.

"If we lose here..."

Hades opened his mouth as another Outer God revealed itself from Despair.

"Consider it the end of Olympus."
