C301
Before him appeared the sky.
A sky darkened by hazy clouds. YuWon felt a sense of dizziness as he looked at the black clouds filling his field of vision.
He didn't know what had happened, but his mind was trying to figure out what was going on.
"Ah..."
After a mont, he rembered what had occurred.
The fight with Zeus.
It was a very short fight, and paradoxically, it felt long.
When faced with Zeus's Lightning, YuWon thought of ways to stop it or dodge it.
In that instant, nurous thoughts passed through his mind.
The answer ca quickly.
"How can I stop that?"
It was a level of lightning unlike anything seen before.
A force several tis more powerful than the lightning that struck Calot. Faced with overwhelming power, no matter how much he thought, he couldn't find an answer.
So YuWon watched it with his own eyes.
To comprehend that imnse strength. To understand it to the fullest.
And thus, the Lightning fell, and YuWon crashed to the ground.
"You're not dead after all."
A voice resonated near his head.
YuWon turned his head and looked at Zeus.
Seeing the Lightning enveloping his body, it seed that he couldn't control the excess power.
"Did you shoot to kill ?"
"I figured you wouldn't die."
"You figured?"
"If you're going to die miserably here, instead of being a nuisance in front of , it would be better for you to die right now."
Those were quite cold words.
He didn't need a diocre companion. It would be better to die than to be like that.
Can soone like that really be called a companion?
At least in YuWon's mind, he wasn't.
But...
"That's just how Zeus is."
An authoritarian tyrant.
To him, everyone except himself was inferior, there was nothing beside or above him.
Calling him a companion was sothing that didn't fit.
But at least Zeus would consider soone a companion as long as he deed them valuable.
That was enough.
That was what YuWon had hoped for anyway.
"So, have you gained sothing?"
In response to Zeus's question, YuWon shook his head clumsily.
His mind had gone blank in an instant, so his physical condition wasn't good.
"I only know that you've beco an incredible monster."
"I didn't an that..."
"To confirm that is also a harvest for ."
Zeus's eyes narrowed at YuWon's response.
Soon, the corners of his mouth lifted.
"So, you think the sa as ."
"I don't know if we'll have the sa thods, but we probably have the sa goal."
Zeus is authoritative.
Instead of raising everyone together, he decided to confront external forces, including Foolish Chaos, with his own power alone.
He believed that was possible, and he had enough power to have that confidence.
Of course.
That was still based on Zeus not knowing what lay beyond this Tower.
Pak, pak.
YuWon quickly got up, dusting off his clothes.
As he hastily regained his composure, his eyes regained their calmness.
Soon...
In his golden and red pupils, the figure of Zeus reflected.
"You have to beco stronger. I will too."
"You seem to have so certainty in yourself."
It was a phrase that was probing.
Normally, he would have let it pass, but this ti was different.
Kwang, kwarrung!
An enormous Lightning burst forth from Zeus's body. Along with the sound of the Lightning, YuWon could feel a colossal force that even surprised him.
The reincarnation of Indra?
No.
Perhaps, even beyond that. Zeus, who sought sothing to replace the Lightning, obtained the heart of Indra and had surpassed his heyday.
"Even this isn't enough? Is that what it ans?"
Kwung, kwarrung.
Even approaching was difficult. YuWon felt his body numb as he faced Zeus's force up close.
From the depths of his heart, he wanted to give a thumbs up in recognition.
But...
"It's still far from enough."
The opponent (Outer Gods) they would face was not an easy enemy.
And it wasn't just one Outer God, but many.
And YuWon had fought against them nurous tis.
Among those enemies, there were those who possessed a power similar to Zeus's at that mont.
"There's still a long way to go. We shouldn't be satisfied with this."
That was the reason he decided to express it, even though he would normally have avoided it.
Zeus still had to beco stronger. He should not be satisfied with his current level but strive much harder to beco even more powerful.
That's why YuWon had to instill a sense of urgency in Zeus.
He must not beco arrogant with that little ability.
He wondered if Zeus had understood his intentions.
"Hmm..."
Zeus lifted the corners of his mouth as he looked at YuWon.
"Although your intention mixed in your words is arrogant..."
Tzz, tzz, tzz...
The Lightning emanating from Zeus's body began to dissipate slowly.
"You're not wrong."
Zeus turned around and started walking.
Once again, he prepared to face YuWon.
"You're truly interesting. More than anyone else I've ever t in my life."
"Unexpected."
"What do you an?"
Zeus paused for a mont and glanced at YuWon.
"I thought you would be seeking revenge against ."
Zeus was the King of Olympus.
YuWon had brought him down and imprisoned him. Naturally, he thought Zeus would be determined to take revenge on him.
But the Zeus he encountered again showed no resentnt towards him.
Why?
He wasn't sure of the motives behind that, he only saw the clear results, but he was curious about the change in his attitude.
"Is there sothing you hold grudge against?"
Zeus started walking again and looked at YuWon once more.
He kept his distance and raised his Lightning as if impatient to waste ti.
The current of energy began to envelop Zeus's body, sliding into his serene gaze.
"I was defeated by you because I was inadequate. Because my preparation was insufficient and my power was lacking."
The reason Zeus didn't resent YuWon.
It was simple.
From the start, YuWon had had a wrong thought.
"There is nothing as ugly as blaming defeat or resentnt on soone else. Except when soone you trusted betrays you, but in your case, you were my enemy from the beginning to the end."
Zeus may have been a tyrant, but he had built a giant guild. Moreover, Olympus had a much shorter history than Asgard, but it had grown very rapidly in a short ti.
Indeed.
Now it seed he knew why Olympus was able to grow so fast.
"So don't hesitate and co fight again."
Crackle!
"This ti, I will allow you to fight on an equal level."
Perhaps Zeus also had similar thoughts.
Since it was difficult to do it alone, they would form a team.
YuWon had already planned such a team, and Zeus in front of him was a new mber of the original team.
"There is no one more skilled in the Lightning attribute than Zeus."
Zeus had been handling Lightning for over a thousand years.
Unlike Hades or Poseidon, he was the one who best knew how to wield the Uranus Heart.
A mont ago, he lost consciousness.
This ti it had to be different.
Woosh-.
[The 'Golden Cinder Eyes' capture the essence]
"Let's go."
---------------------------------
"Lightning is known as the most destructive form of Magic along with Fire."
Kwang!
A Lightning bolt struck YuWon's head.
Although he moved in advance to get away from the center of the Lightning, he couldn't avoid the damage due to its wide range.
Crackle!
YuWon's body was enveloped by the reach of the Lightning. Although his skin burned by the Lightning turned black, and his body gradually lost strength, his eyes remained clear.
"But what's important is speed."
Chi, Jik, Jik-.
The Lightning moved along Zeus's fingertip.
And according to those words, YuWon's pupil followed the flow of the Lightning gathering at the tip of his finger.
It was definitely more fast than destructive. Unlike Fire, it was difficult to visually track due to its speed.
"And that becos its destructive power."
Flash!
He saw it with his eyes.
But he wasn't fast enough to react.
Peww!
"…!"
A bolt of Lightning pierced his spine.
He felt his consciousness fading. He barely managed to endure it with gritted teeth, but he couldn't prevent his knees from giving in.
Thud.
"You've held on for a long ti."
Zeus's voice resonated nearby.
Feeling that everything was over, YuWon dropped completely to the ground.
Chi-ji-jik-.
A subtle Lightning flashed at the tips of YuWon's fingers.
It was Lightning that didn't use the power of Uranus.
"You learn fast."
Only two days had passed.
During that ti, YuWon fought repeatedly against Hades and Poseidon and learned from Zeus how to handle Lightning Attribute Magic.
Was it to shorten the ti as much as possible?
YuWon chose to directly face the three gods without relying on Uranus.
Without rest, he continued.
The results began to gradually appear.
"This... is thanks to this."
Yuwon pointed with his finger at his eyes that were faintly shining as he lay on the ground.
Hwa Ang Geum Jeong (Golden Cinder Eyes).
Eyes that comprehend the essence of all things and phenona, including magic.
Furthermore, Zeus understood the nature of his magic better than anyone else and taught it with words.
If he didn't grow quickly, it was even more peculiar.
"Tomorrow is the elder brother's turn. Rest a bit."
Ssshhh...
As if eagerly waiting for the words to fall, Yuwon's body slipped to the ground as if seeping in.
The darkness of Hades swallowed Yuwon. He would probably lead Yuwon to his accommodation this way.
"..."
Zeus, who stood in that place for a mont, turned his head.
His golden eyes pierced through the dense forest. After contemplating the place for a mont, Zeus disappeared in a single beam of golden light.
---------------------------------
The place where Zeus had disappeared...
Thud-.
A single footprint appeared in the distance, far from the city.
A blurry, ghostly face with barely distinguishable features. Grass and trees withering as he walked.
Foolish Chaos looked at the dying land like this and muttered.
"As expected, it's dangerous."
The gaze that had been watching him until a mont ago had not a single error.
At first, he doubted.
But the gaze that hesitated from ti to ti soon turned into a clear recognition.
Zeus had discovered him.
His growth was faster and more pronounced than he had anticipated.
"Could it be because of his lineage after all?"
One of the two outside his original plan.
And Zeus had beco a threat to his current self, who also possessed a power that could be a threat.
The other side was also a target to be wary of, but if you looked at the priorities, there was no need to think deeply.
Zeus.
He was the pawn that would provoke the Gigantomachy and until a few years ago was considered one of the most outstanding pawns.
But now...
The tip of his spear was aid not at the Giants but at his own throat.
And not only that, he carried a sharp spear with the ability to pierce his own throat.
"I can't afford to give him more ti."
It was a sowhat drastic choice, but he had no other option.
Foolish Chaos's eyes turned purple, from the black part to the white part.
"I will eliminate him imdiately."
Imdiately.
And with his voice, the presences outside the Tower began to twist one by one.
