Leveling with the Gods
Chapter 487

C487

"Azatho... Azatho..."

The moment he heard that Name, YuWon murmured the Name as if possessed by something.

He couldn't pronounce the last letter.

Unlike Pandora, YuWon felt the weight of the Name on his body.

It was the name of Danpung, the name of Shub-Niggurath, the name of Foolish Chaos.

It was the beginning of all Names.

"I found a young goat..."

Pandora's words continued, but her voice no longer entered YuWon's ears.

Why?

After hearing the name "Azathoth," YuWon's eyes started to read the small letters written on the slab.

I found a young goat.

She has been following me for days. Will she know who I am? She is quite adorable. Should I take it with me? This is an important decision. Once I give her a Name, I won't be able to go back.

After much contemplation, he gave a name to the young goat. The name was Shub-Niggurath. He also started to grow fond when he gave her a Name.

Following the place where Shub-Niggurath bleated, a small and insignificant child appeared. Strangely, I recalled when I encountered Shub-Niggurath. The strange, skinny child followed me again.

I won't give him food or anything like that. Will he still follow me? I wanted to see how far he would go. Though it was touching, it was also astonishing that a child who seemed to die at any moment had so much strength. Where does he get that strength to follow me?

Finally, he gave a Name to the child as my servant.

Nyarlathotep.

That will be your name from today.

...

That's how he gave Names to everything. Not having a Name is something sad. Even if it's just a beast, a small spark, or a small stone on the ground, all Names have meaning.

He divided his own Name and gave it to them. He didn't mind, as he had many Names. And all of this was precious to him.

But that turned out to be a problem...

YuWon's eyes, reading the tiny letters descending on the slab, gradually widened.

Records on the slab.

Stories of the entity called Azathoth.

YuWon immersed himself in those stories.

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

Goooo-.

Under the collapsed mountain.

Hercules, standing on a cloud, held a spear in one hand.

Suddenly, the golden pillar disappeared.

In its place, a dense mist rose over the collapsed mountain.

Hercules kept looking down.

His fingers were ready to throw the Lightning Bolt he held at any moment.

The strongest force in the Tower.

Free handling of the power of electricity.

Both in close combat and from a distance, with the spear, covering all distances.

Hercules became perfect without even realizing it.

Craack-.

Hercules's eyes, which had been looking down for a while, suddenly flashed.

And the next moment...

Flash-!

Once again, the Lightning Bolt that escaped from Hercules' hand fell under the gap where Foolish Chaos was.

An explosion that expanded in all directions along with the Lightning Bolt.

Hercules seemed to be standing unaffected, observing whether Foolish Chaos moved or not.

To make sure he didn't escape, Hercules was defending this place.

Kuuuu-.

As the Lightning Bolt faded away, something slowly leaked out.

Did it finally start moving?

"Yes. He should come out now."

Anyway, he didn't think this guy would die so easily.

Regardless of what others say, this guy was the one who led Zeus to death. Moreover, according to what he heard from YuWon, half the reason the Tower would eventually fall into destruction was because of Foolish Chaos in front of him.

This fight won't end easily.

And Hercules, who hates fights despite his great power, accepted that reality for the first time.

In his current state, he couldn't endure it without venting somewhere.

Bang-!

Kicking the air, Hercules, flying upwards, slowly jumped into the black mist rising.

Whatever was there, it didn't matter at all.

His body was restless, and he couldn't bear it. He couldn't contain himself without mercilessly striking Foolish Chaos's body at that very moment.

Just as he rushed toward Foolish Chaos...

Zzap!

A creepy, cold sensation ran through his body as he felt a chill.

No matter how much anger heated his head, his instincts and intuition did not disappear. Hercules kicked the air, descending to the ground, only to jump back up one step higher.

-What a pity.

Zzz!

The remaining Lightning Bolt in the air was devoured by the shadow.

At the last moment, Hercules saw the sharp fangs hidden in that shadow. Sᴇaʀᴄh the NøvᴇlFirᴇ(.)nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

-It would have been good if you took one more step.

Thud!

Zzzzzz, zzzz.

As if it no longer had intentions of hiding, the shadow devoured the entire surrounding ground.

A shadow that devours everything in sight. And within it, a nameless monster with sharp fangs.

Hercules had already witnessed something similar not long ago, in the fight with YuWon.

'Faintly... that's the same.'

Inside the body of Ubbo-Sathla.

The strength YuWon showed in that fight was similar.

The difference was in scale. Foolish Chaos's strength was much larger and showed an overwhelming scale compared to what YuWon had shown.

Hercules's body, facing that gigantic shadow, shivered eerily.

But it was only for a moment.

Crack!

'No.'

Clutching his fist tightly, Hercules opened his eyes.

'It's not completely the same.'

Surely, what was in front of him was similar, but it was a different kind. If the strength YuWon showed was small but unattainable, Foolish Chaos's strength was not so overwhelming as to be dominant.

Once he overcame the fear within him, the tremor in his body quickly stopped.

And so it began...

Tsu, tsu, tsu.

The Lightning emitted from Hercules' body began to push Foolish Chaos's shadow.

["Gigantification" confronts "Foolish Chaos"]

["Lightning Bolt" confronts "Foolish Chaos."]

[The power of Yggdrasil manifests in your body]

[The power of the Giant manifests in your body]

Hwaah!

The darkness dissipated, revealing the hidden figure of Foolish Chaos.

The first thing that caught attention was the "mouth" of the being.

He couldn't help it.

The individual, who had always been hidden by his robe, was a strange mass of black color, without eyes, nose, or ears.

Still, it didn't seem so strange.

'Quite decent compared to what I thought.'

Most of the Outers were like that.

From the beginning, they weren't humans. Moreover, many Outers had forms stranger than the creatures inside the Tower.

Compared to those things, being completely dark, without eyes or nose, seemed almost human, exaggerating a bit.

"Do you think what you see is everything?"

"I hope it isn't."

The longer the fight would last, the better.

At least, that's what Hercules thought.

With a step, Hercules entered the teeth of Foolish Chaos and raised his club.

"Please, please."

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

On the ground, the war was raging.

Son OhGong's clones stood in front of Ubbo-Sathla. The Nibelung Rankers fought against the Outers emerging from Ubbo-Sathla's body, spreading blood in the battle.

Thud!

Son OhGong landed on Ubbo-Sathla's body.

He held the Ru Yi Bang with both hands.

"Grow..."

Kiiing!

Arcane Power permeated the Ru Yi Bang.

Son OhGong shouted louder than usual.

Ruyi!

Baaang!

The Ru Yi Bang, now enormously large, descended onto Ubbo-Sathla's body, crushing it.

Ru Yi Bang.

Originally a pillar used to measure the depth of the ocean, it was a column of great weight.

The weight of that pillar pinned the gigantic body of Ubbo-Sathla to the ground.

Crunch, crunch.

Ubbo-Sathla's body twisted under the pressure of the Ru Yi Bang.

Ubbo-Sathla was an entity the size of an island holding Nibelung. No matter how large and heavy the Ru Yi Bang was, it couldn't crush Ubbo-Sathla indefinitely.

"Stay still..."

Kwaaack!

Son OhGong's eyes narrowed vertically.

Veins on the back of his hand burst as he lifted the immense Ru Yi Bang.

Boooom.

The immense Ru Yi Bang cut through the clouds.

"Come on, man!"

Son OhGong lifted the Ru Yi Bang with the palm of his hand and swung it with all his power.

Swoosh!

Ubbo-Sathla, which had been moving before, sank back into the ground. Son OhGong, who had already swung the Ru Yi Bang several times, stopped on top of Ubbo-Sathla's body to take a breath.

"Huf, Huuh..."

They were just five hundred clones. Some of them joined the Nibelung Rankers to contain the Outers, while the rest moved to face Ubbo-Sathla.

To Son OhGong, who enjoyed the fight, it was starting to get boring.

No...

This was far from the exciting fight he expected.

"It's the first time I've had such a boring fight."

Ubbo-Sathla couldn't be defeated by external power. Even the most powerful object in the Tower, Gungnir, had the same problem.

Perhaps for that reason?

As he fought, Son OhGong felt like he was hitting an unbreakable wall.

It was really a boring situation.

Of course...

That doesn't mean the situation was difficult.

Rather, it was positive.

'The fact that this guy is still alive means interpretation is possible.'

Others would have already secured the slabs. That's why Ubbo-Sathla was unleashing this chaos. YuWon brought Pandora to interpret the writing on the slabs, with the small possibility that she could read it.

And now that that assumption had been confirmed.

Son OhGong was also eager to find out what secrets were hidden within.

'Everything is fine except...'

Crunch.

Ubbo-Sathla twisted again as it stood up.

The simple fact that a whale the size of an island was moving was already a catastrophe. Every time it moved, more clones appeared, being swept away by its movements.

"Aren't you moving a bit slow?"

Swooosh.

Leave him with this boring job while he dealt with more exciting things.

With that in mind, Son OhGong grabbed the Ru Yi Bang again.

Just as he was about to slam the Ru Yi Bang back into Ubbo-Sathla's back...

Swoosh.

Zap!

The world around Son OhGong turned black.

Ubbo-Sathla's body, covered by darkness, and Son OhGong, standing on that body, stood frozen in confusion.

"...eh?"

Ubbo-Sathla's body was swallowed by an enormous shadow.
