Leveling with the Gods-Chapter 614
[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 become 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 came late.
Chijiji-.
A huge dragon that brightens up the dark Tartarus.
Its numerous heads were chewing on the souls of the dead.
Ananta, the king of monsters.
The modifier in front of the guyās name was never excessive.
āI guess you were waiting?ā
-I waited. Itās so boring and boring here that thereās nothing to do.
āDidnāt the other guys play?ā
-They are insignificant ghosts who have died and wander here. Where would I fit in if I wasnāt up to par?
Anantaās voice was polite.
Yuwon felt that Anantaās attitude towards him was different from before.
āHave you always been this polite?ā
ā Because I didnāt 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.
ā Where are you? I found out that all the souls serve you. That must mean you deserve it.
āSo? You will be one of them?ā
-Please donāt treat me like these bastards.
Tsutsutsutsu!
Ananta unleashed a bright bolt of electricity.
It must have been quite a short period of time, but Anantaās lightning was dazzling, as he may have been devouring the dead in Tartarus during that time.
-I He is the king of all monsters.
A voice that exudes pride.
In response to Anantaās 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 āKing.ā
āHe looks like that guy.ā
Zeus, the king of Olympus.
The way he spoke was different, but Ananta, who was full of pride, seemed to overlap with him.
One thing was different.
Unlike Zeus, who was now an ally, he was still an enemy.
āNo.ā
Thatās why Yuwon came here.
Anyway, if we leave it like this, he will be trapped in Tartarus forever and someday he will become a handful of magical power.
āYou will become one of them.ā
That was a bit of a shame.
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 mere food for the sea.
-Are you here to provoke me? ? Or did you come to mock him?
Anantaās eyes lit up.
Ever since Yu-won came 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 seemed like he had come here to mock.
But that was wrong.
āI came to make a bet.ā
He hated wasting time, such as ridicule or provocation.
Yu-won liked betting.
You can win by risking something.
Unlike gambling, where you have to rely on luck, Yu-won liked betting.
āIāve never lost a bet .ā .ā
No matter what he risked or did, Yuwon always won.
Ananta was now in front of me.
King of monsters.
A being with more power than Zeus.
It meant that if such a guy was the opponent of the bet, there was a lot to be gained.
-What bet?
āIsnāt it unfair?ā
Instead of answering the question, Yuwon asked Ananta in reverse.
āIf I were alone. And if you had other colleagues, you wouldnāt be like this now.ā
-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 resentment about my choice. Thatās what losers do.
āSo you ran away? at that time.ā
-Isnāt it foolish to continue fighting a fight you know youāll lose? Calling yourself a loser is also not the virtue of a wise king.
also.
āThey really look alike.ā
If you change the way he speaks just a little, youāll wonder if Zeus is in his body.
Is that why?
ā Still, one thing is certain.
Perhaps because of his pride, he added a word at the end.
-If itās one-on-one. There will be no stronger creature than me in this tower.
A voice full of confidence.
Yuwon smiled at Anantaās words.
I wondered how words couldnāt convince me, but that didnāt seem to be the case.
āThis is different.ā
Zeus doesnāt say anything that doesnāt have to be said.
Zeus had stronger pride than anyone else, but he cared more about utility than pride.
āThen letās do it.ā
What was needed now was not a long hiatus.
āI guess thatās really true.ā
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 Yuwonās sword.
-Are you saying we should fight?
Two emotions appeared together in Anantaās 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 comes to betting, you are usually confident about who walks first.
-What can I get?
āIāll release you from here.ā
-What if I lose?
āFight just once as I tell you. Iāll release you after that. Of course, I wonāt be able to become the king of monsters again.ā
Ananta could not be released without any compensation.
He is the king of monsters.
I couldnāt release him unless he gave up his position.
āI just promise. I will not order you to kill your people. āIn fact, it would be closer to saving lives.ā
-ā¦Are you trying to convince me now?
āItās similar.ā
-Thatās just the story when I lostā¦
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 same.
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 donāt know me.
Chijit chijiji-.
Chijijiji-!
Tartarus became as bright as day.
The souls of the dead are frightened by his magic.
It was the first time 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 time I have felt such enormity.
but.
āMaybe itās the other way around.ā
[āThe unnamed greatnessā appears.]
[āThe nameless mistā appears.] [
āThe dancer dancing with flamesā appears.]
[āThe flame of death and decayā Thisā¦.]
[ā¦.]
Names are starting to appear.
The divine power within his body bloomed, revealing the power that had been hidden until now.
āYou really donāt know anything about me.ā
[ā¦.]
[āThe goat of the Black Forest with a thousand babiesā appears.] [
āFoolish chaosā appears.]
[āAmorphous ā moneyā appears. [They appear.]
Let so many names appear.
āIāll tell you now.ā
Ananta felt something was wrong.
* * *
He was special.
Ever since I was born until now.
āFrom today onwards your name is Ananta.ā
Parents whose names and faces I donāt remember.
They gave themselves the name Ananta after hatching from an egg with only one head.
āYou are special. āThat too.ā
special.
What do you mean?
I didnāt know at first.
A newborn baby who has just been born cannot understand words or think like oneself.
It wasnāt until much later that I realized it was special.
āSoā¦ā
Quaddeuk-.
The memory of that time was so vivid that it remained as a dream every single day.
āChew it thoroughly.ā
Thatās how he started his life by devouring his two parents.
Thatās why he couldnāt remember their names 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 motherās 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 mere beasts that Ananta had seen with his own eyes all seemed happy.
āWowā¦ā
And then.
Ananta realized what he had done.
āUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!ā
I donāt know how much I vomited.
What is certain is that it seemed like it had been over a hundred days.
Without eating anything. As if trying to get whatās inside out.
āHuh, huh, huh-.āā
Thatās when I came to my senses.
Ananta realized his identity.
āI am a monster.ā
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.
āI am a monster more than anyone else.ā
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.
Numerous players who received the power of the tower sealed themselves as their bodies grew bigger day by day.
But he was confident.
āYou are special.ā
I canāt remember the name or the face.
As the mother who gave birth to him said, he was special.
however.
āWhat the hell?ā
Crack-crack-crack-.
Meeeeeee-.
Countless teeth filled the interior of Tartarus.
And the crying goats and flames inside.
The dragonās 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 time in his life.
-Youā¦
a being more special than yourself.
The shabbiness of facing a being with an incomprehensible name and power.
-Who are you?
Fear.
