[Level Up with the Gods Side Story Episode 90]
* * *
There was almost infinite magical power in Tartarus.
The great sea of hell is entirely made up of dark magical energy, and the souls of the dead are floating in that sea.
And if the living entered into it, they would beco prey for the dead.
but.
Chiji chijiji-.
Just one person in the nearly eternal history of Tartarus.
A person who was not the owner of Tartarus entered there and was alive.
-You ca late.
Chijiji-.
A huge dragon that brightens up the dark Tartarus.
Its nurous heads were chewing on the souls of the dead.
Ananta, the king of monsters.
The modifier in front of the guy’s na was never excessive.
“I guess you were waiting?”
-I waited. It’s so boring and boring here that there’s nothing to do.
“Didn’t the other guys play?”
-They are insignificant ghosts who have died and wander here. Where would I fit in if I wasn’t up to par?
Ananta’s voice was polite.
Yuwon felt that Ananta’s attitude towards him was different from before.
“Have you always been this polite?”
– Because I didn’t know you back then.
The eyes of countless dragons looked at Yuwon.
In the sea of Tartarus.
I could feel the countless souls floating there being afraid of him.
– Where are you? I found out that all the souls serve you. That must an you deserve it.
“So? You will be one of them?”
-Please don’t treat like these bastards.
Tsutsutsutsu!
Ananta unleashed a bright bolt of electricity.
It must have been quite a short period of ti, but Ananta’s lightning was dazzling, as he may have been devouring the dead in Tartarus during that ti.
-I He is the king of all monsters.
A voice that exudes pride.
In response to Ananta’s determination not to submit to anyone, Yuwon left one person behind.
Although he is now wounded and lying down,
he is proud of himself more than anyone else in this tower. The guy who calls himself ‘King.’
‘He looks like that guy.’
Zeus, the king of Olympus.
The way he spoke was different, but Ananta, who was full of pride, seed to overlap with him.
One thing was different.
Unlike Zeus, who was now an ally, he was still an enemy.
“No.”
That’s why Yuwon ca here.
Anyway, if we leave it like this, he will be trapped in Tartarus forever and soday he will beco a handful of magical power.
“You will beco one of them.”
That was a bit of a sha.
He was the king of monsters.
He ruled over hundreds of millions of monsters spread throughout the tower.
There would be no more waste than consuming such a thing as re food for the sea.
-Are you here to provoke ? ? Or did you co to mock him?
Ananta’s eyes lit up.
Ever since Yu-won ca here, the guy has been showing hostility. He was
polite in words, but he was sharpening his sword inwardly.
Perhaps now he is thinking that Yu-won is making fun of him. It seed like he had co here to mock.
But that was wrong.
“I ca to make a bet.”
He hated wasting ti, such as ridicule or provocation.
Yu-won liked betting.
You can win by risking sothing.
Unlike gambling, where you have to rely on luck, Yu-won liked betting.
“I’ve never lost a bet .” .”
No matter what he risked or did, Yuwon always won.
Ananta was now in front of .
King of monsters.
A being with more power than Zeus.
It ant that if such a guy was the opponent of the bet, there was a lot to be gained.
-What bet?
“Isn’t it unfair?”
Instead of answering the question, Yuwon asked Ananta in reverse.
“If I were alone. And if you had other colleagues, you wouldn’t be like this now.”
-Are you feeling unfair?
Klarara-.
Several heads opened their mouths and burst into laughter.
It was a strange crying sound.
Because Tartarus had no walls, the sound did not echo and spread endlessly.
It was a slightly different reaction than expected.
-I have no regrets or resentnt about my choice. That’s what losers do.
“So you ran away? at that ti.”
-Isn’t it foolish to continue fighting a fight you know you’ll lose? Calling yourself a loser is also not the virtue of a wise king.
also.
‘They really look alike.’
If you change the way he speaks just a little, you’ll wonder if Zeus is in his body.
Is that why?
– Still, one thing is certain.
Perhaps because of his pride, he added a word at the end.
-If it’s one-on-one. There will be no stronger creature than in this tower.
A voice full of confidence.
Yuwon smiled at Ananta’s words.
I wondered how words couldn’t convince , but that didn’t seem to be the case.
‘This is different.’
Zeus doesn’t say anything that doesn’t have to be said.
Zeus had stronger pride than anyone else, but he cared more about utility than pride.
“Then let’s do it.”
What was needed now was not a long hiatus.
“I guess that’s really true.”
Skak-.
Yuwon pulled out the sword he was wearing at his waist.
It is a sword that is too small and thin to use against a huge dragon.
Moreover, the alien sword was an item optimized for outerwear.
Ananta is the king of the monsters inside the tower.
Unlike those who dream of greatness, he did not feel any threat from Yuwon’s sword.
-Are you saying we should fight?
Two emotions appeared together in Ananta’s eyes.
Doubt and joy.
The joy is probably due to a desire for revenge against Yu-won.
He wanted to take revenge on Yuwon, who had humiliated him by imprisoning him here.
Suspicion was natural.
When it cos to betting, you are usually confident about who walks first.
-What can I get?
“I’ll release you from here.”
-What if I lose?
“Fight just once as I tell you. I’ll release you after that. Of course, I won’t be able to beco the king of monsters again.”
Ananta could not be released without any compensation.
He is the king of monsters.
I couldn’t release him unless he gave up his position.
“I just promise. I will not order you to kill your people. “In fact, it would be closer to saving lives.”
-…Are you trying to convince now?
“It’s similar.”
-That’s just the story when I lost…
Crrrrrrr-.
The dragons show their teeth.
The doubts disappeared and joy spread throughout his body.
You can fight.
Once that decision was made, Ananta began to vent his speculations.
-Still, I was quite persuaded.
Whether it was winning or losing, finding freedom was the sa.
The only thing that would be different is that he would be deprived of his position as King of Monsters.
From now on, he will no longer be able to live for his people, but that is only the price he pays for defeat.
That much was understandable.
Above all, winning was enough.
-Fortunately, the. Because you don’t know .
Chijit chijiji-.
Chijijiji-!
Tartarus beca as bright as day.
The souls of the dead are frightened by his magic.
It was the first ti for Yuwon to know that this much magical power could be contained in one living creature.
Except for Yog-Sothoth and Shub Nigguras, this is the first ti I have felt such enormity.
but.
“Maybe it’s the other way around.”
[‘The unnad greatness’ appears.]
[‘The naless mist’ appears.] [
‘The dancer dancing with flas’ appears.]
[‘The fla of death and decay’ This….]
[….]
Nas are starting to appear.
The divine power within his body blood, revealing the power that had been hidden until now.
“You really don’t know anything about .”
[….]
[‘The goat of the Black Forest with a thousand babies’ appears.] [
‘Foolish chaos’ appears.]
[‘Amorphous ■money’ appears. [They appear.]
Let so many nas appear.
“I’ll tell you now.”
Ananta felt sothing was wrong.
* * *
He was special.
Ever since I was born until now.
“From today onwards your na is Ananta.”
Parents whose nas and faces I don’t rember.
They gave themselves the na Ananta after hatching from an egg with only one head.
“You are special. “That too.”
special.
What do you an?
I didn’t know at first.
A newborn baby who has just been born cannot understand words or think like oneself.
It wasn’t until much later that I realized it was special.
“So…”
Quaddeuk-.
The mory of that ti was so vivid that it remained as a dream every single day.
“Chew it thoroughly.”
That’s how he started his life by devouring his two parents.
That’s why he couldn’t rember their nas or their faces.
They were already in his stomach.
Around the age of three, children mixed in with people and played with their parents. I looked.
They looked happy.
The child who fell asleep in his mother’s arms.
The child who ran and fell and cried and then stopped crying when his father patted him.
Their parents too. They
were all happy and cherished each other more than their own lives.
Only they . No.
Even the re beasts that Ananta had seen with his own eyes all seed happy.
“Wow…”
And then.
Ananta realized what he had done.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
I don’t know how much I vomited.
What is certain is that it seed like it had been over a hundred days.
Without eating anything. As if trying to get what’s inside out.
“Huh, huh, huh-.’”
That’s when I ca to my senses.
Ananta realized his identity.
‘I am a monster.’
It was literal.
In this tower, monsters refer to beings that are unable to think rationally and only seek to kill.
The tower gave them experience points and made players hunt them.
He was different.
He was capable of normal thinking and had greater strength and wisdom than the players.
But nonetheless, Ananta thought.
‘I am a monster more than anyone else.’
He said he was a monster.
If a child who grew up eating his or her parents from birth is not a monster, then what could he be?
So Ananta ate everything in sight.
Since he was born from the mother and father who gave birth to him, there was nothing to hide from.
As he got stronger, his hair grew longer.
Nurous players who received the power of the tower sealed themselves as their bodies grew bigger day by day.
But he was confident.
“You are special.”
I can’t rember the na or the face.
As the mother who gave birth to him said, he was special.
however.
‘What the hell?’
Crack-crack-crack-.
eeeeee-.
Countless teeth filled the interior of Tartarus.
And the crying goats and flas inside.
The dragon’s heads shrank a lot.
The dragons of Ananta were frightened by the peacock that appeared with its wings wide open.
Looking at the being before him, Ananta felt an unfamiliar feeling for the first ti in his life.
-You…
a being more special than yourself.
The shabbiness of facing a being with an incomprehensible na and power.
-Who are you?
Fear.
