Chapter 299
C299
Since his childhood, Harggan had grown up admiring three people.
Zeus, the God of the Sky.
Hades, the God of Death.
Poseidon, the God of the Sea.
Called the Three Gods of Olympus, they stood firm in their respective domains.
Zeus ruled the Heavens.
Hades controlled the Underworld.
Poseidon the Sea.
It was an unspoken agreement that they would not interfere with each other's territory, even without saying it.
It had been that way for a long time.
But now...
The three of them gathered.
Isn't this the first time they were together?
Harggan hadn't talked much with Zeus, his father.
But he had never heard that the three of them had ever gathered.
Olympus was a fiercely individualistic Great Guild.
"Is this the first time since that day?"
"We've never had the chance to gather like this before."
"It's been a long time, brothers."
Zeus greeted Hades and Poseidon.
A strange current flowed between the three. Although it was a reunion after a long time, no one seemed to be happy at this moment.
Although they were brothers, they now had a less close relationship than others.
Among them, Poseidon seemed particularly uncomfortable.
"We don't have a warm enough relationship to greet each other friendly, do we?" Poseidon, who had been imprisoned in Asgard's prison by Zeus until before the destruction of Olympus, said.
Of course, if he considered the time he had been alive, it wasn't such a long period. However, that didn't mean his sense of betrayal or anger had weakened.
"That's true."
"If you know that, how can you...?"
"Don't worry. I no longer have any attachment to Olympus."
Zeus's gaze turned towards Hades.
While Poseidon growled, showing his fangs, Hades, on the other hand, silently observed as usual.
"I've heard the news. It seems Olympus is in shambles."
Despite his calm tone, there was an implicit reprimand in his words.
How had Olympus come to this situation?
The mighty Guild that used to rule the Tower alongside Asgard had now become just another common Great Guild.
That was the recent reputation of Olympus since Zeus's disappearance.
Zeus: "The elder brother is a saint. That's why, as such, I think you're not fit for the leadership position."
Hades: "What do you mean by that?"
Zeus: "Olympus needs more power."
Hades: "The Gigantomachy has ended. Olympus is in an era of peace now. Instead of creating nonexistent enemies to strengthen ourselves, it's time to strengthen our foundation."
Zeus: "An era of peace, you say...?"
The corner of Zeus's lips lifted.
"Does it look like it?"
Hades showed a surprised expression at the reaction that seemed to know something. He had never seen Zeus react like this without an apparent reason before.
"He's not exactly a pleasant person, but I would prefer him to lead Olympus."
With that said, Zeus's gaze turned to YuWon.
Zeus, who had been looking at his brothers with disdain, now had his eyes wide open and looked straight ahead.
"Of everyone here, only he (YuWon) has his eyes wide open."
"......."
It was an unparalleled compliment.
In reality, YuWon had nothing to say about it. Until he returned using the Clock Movement, YuWon didn't know about the impending danger in this Tower.
But Zeus had seen that great current even without resorting to tricks.
Perhaps Zeus's existence was the most significant change that YuWon, who had returned to the past, had achieved.
"A catastrophe will soon come to the Tower."
"Disaster."
These were the words spoken by Zeus, who had experienced the cataclysm of the Gigantomachy.
But his declaration was even greater, foretelling something that would transcend that war and happen in the future.
"Above the Tower. Or outside of it. There is something beyond our known world."
Zeus's words made YuWon frown.
It was not new information to him.
It was obvious what his intention was.
It was an attempt to get back at YuWon through this training.
"Well..."
In the face of his obvious and childish intention, YuWon smiled faintly.
"As you wish, in whatever order you prefer."
He knew it would be like this.

Zeus helped Harggan to his feet. As Hades and the three moved away from each other, the stage was roughly set.
The air grew damp.
It had been a long time since he held a spear.
Excitement overcame Poseidon's entire body. He wanted to rush towards YuWon immediately and impale him with his spear.
But no.
'Let's not lower our guard'.
His past experiences told him so.
His opponent was not ordinary.
Just the fact that Zeus had descended from the throne of Olympus for YuWon proved it.
YuWon possessed something that surpassed his abilities.
Sighing to calm his excitement, Poseidon calmly looked at YuWon.
The damp air turned into mist immediately. In the blurry vision, Poseidon's blue glow flashed.
"You said you want teachings, right?"
Behind the mist.
YuWon's pupils turned red. In the moment he saw the flickering red and golden eyes, Poseidon felt a strange threat.
Something intangible.
Indeed, rushing in without thinking turned out to be an ineffective strategy.
Zuuh-.
Blue waves surrounded Poseidon.
The waves encircled Poseidon and gathered at the tip of his spear. The powerful momentum of a massive tidal wave concentrated in the small stream and encapsulated in his spear.
"Then, you must first adapt to water."
Kwaauuu-.
The spear moved, and the water spread in a parabolic shape.
In an instant, a gigantic ocean formed. Poseidon, who turned the surrounding terrain upside down in an instant, didn't stop there and continued moving his spear as if he were dancing.
Zuuu, zuu-.
The ocean sang as the waves surged.
The enormous creature called the ocean moved according to Poseidon's will. YuWon realized that if he wished, Poseidon could move that marine creature to crush him.
This was Poseidon.
The God of the Sea who manipulated the ocean at his will and used it to oppress his opponent.
"It was not in vain that I called for you."
Hwaryuk-.
The differently colored Golden Cinder Eyes gleamed as they looked at Poseidon and the sea around him.
Zuuuuuu-.
The twisted ocean rose.
Dozens of tsunamis surged and engulfed the surroundings. He felt a more solid sensation than when he was surrounded by thousands of players.
Poseidon, who created the tsunamis, moved his spear as his blue eyes shimmered.
'This is enough'.
In the face of the immense ocean, humans were nothing more than small pieces of flesh. Even water, which is everywhere, can weigh hundreds of millions of tons when gathered to form an ocean, and its power was truly divine.
This was the true strength that had earned him the title of God of the Sea.
No matter how high one flew or exerted themselves, there was still no player, not even a High-Ranker, who could evade or cunningly block it.
At least, that's what Poseidon thought at this moment.
But...
"He's so ignorant..."
Zeus, who was in the sky and watching his figure from a cloud, sneered as if it were pathetic.
"Come to think of it, since he recently got out of prison, he doesn't understand how the world works."
Hades muttered as if in agreement.
"He has no idea what Rank that guy is."
