Beeeh-.

Beeeeeeh-.

Beeeeeeeeh-.

The goats were bleating loudly.

Even though YuWon and Zeus had clearly approached the place, the goats didn't even turn their heads.Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com

The gaze of the goats was always fixed on the Egg, as if they were waiting for its hatching.

"Did you mean that Egg for Danpung to eat?"

It was a taunt from Zeus, asking why YuWon went through so much trouble to find something like that.

But instead of responding to Zeus's reaction, YuWon looked at him with concern.

"Watch your words."

"What are you talking about?"

"If that guy heard it, he might get pretty mad."

"Angry at an Egg with me...?"

Zeus's eyebrows twitched irregularly for a moment as he continued to speak.

At first glance, it seemed insignificant, so he overlooked it, but it was undoubtedly the Egg that YuWon had been searching for so diligently.

YuWon knew more about Shub-Niggurath than anyone.

If YuWon had invested so much valuable time in moving like this, there was definitely a reason.

'It's definitely strange.'

Zeus set aside his prejudice that obstructed his view and looked back at the scene in front of him.

'It doesn't seem like a special threat. They are surrounding it as if... as if they are protecting that Egg.'

There was no other word to describe that appearance.

'It looks like they are receiving that Egg as if it were a gift.'

If it had been Shub-Niggurath instead of the Egg, he would have felt no annoyance.

It seemed like it wasn't just an Egg. Perhaps the being that would hatch from this Egg could become the master key that would lead this fight to victory once it grew enough.

Of course, that would be a story for after the being emerging from the Egg had developed enough.

So Zeus's frustration was natural.

"So what? Are you saying we should just stay here and watch?"

"Yes."

"For how long?"

Crack!

It was then that the sound of bones breaking and being crushed was heard.

Zeus's head, which had been talking to YuWon, turned.

Beeeh-.

Beeh-!

The goats were bleating. But their voices were different from before.

It wasn't hostility but respect. And also reverence. The goats that had gathered around the Egg with fear and treachery turned and fled amid fear and treachery.

Sssss-.

A violet smoke emerged from the Egg. It spread towards the nearby goats and bound them tightly.

Crack!

It was the sound they had heard a moment ago.

A sound of bones breaking and being crushed.

Zeus thought that sound had been caused by a powerful force.

But it wasn't.

Crack!

No, it wasn't.

"...I'm not sure what I'm seeing right now."

Woodeuk-.

In the moment the smoke coiled, the goats withered down to the bones, skin, and fur and dried up.

Although their true nature had not yet been fully revealed, Zeus felt a threat coming from the Egg that hadn't even hatched.

What could it be trying to emerge from inside there?

'Is it like running into a tiger while trying to avoid a fox?'

Craack, craaaac-le-!

A Lightning Bolt leaped from Zeus's hand. As the goats fled far from the Egg, Zeus aimed the Lightning Bolt at the smoke.

However...

Ssuuuh-.

The smoke that had been devouring the goats suddenly changed its movement.

Until a moment ago, it seemed on the verge of devouring everything around it, but in an instant, it retracted and seeped back into the Egg.

And the moment was clear.

Zzbuk-.

It was when YuWon approached the Egg, passing through the goats.

"Are you still asleep?"

There was no response.

Zeus dissipated the Lightning Bolt he had created in his hand again.

At least, he confirmed that the Egg was friendly towards YuWon.

Zeus followed YuWon as he approached the Egg.

His choice was not wrong.

"Don't try to convince me anymore. If you want to explain his worth, show it to me with the results."

"So I will."

Kagagak-.

A sword was drawn from YuWon's waist.

"Then, first, let's get out of here."

"That's what I want to do."

It was then when the corner of Zeus's lips rose. The moment he raised his hand upwards without any further hesitation...

Craaaaaaack-le.

Without wasting any more time, as if there was no time to lose, Zeus started shooting Lightning Bolts into the Black Woods.

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

Kugugugu-.

There were only about three minutes left.

During that time, due to Hercules' madness, the battlefield had changed completely.

Countless craters and Golden Bolts illuminated the endless land. And in the midst of that, lay the shattered body of Shub-Niggurath.

"Uff, uff..."

Hercules, who boasted that no one could surpass him in terms of physical endurance, was exhausted after only three minutes.

Crack, crack-.

The Bolts continued to flow uncontrollably through his arms.

It was as if they were screaming to let him jump higher. The power of the Lightning, rooted in Hercules' body, was beyond his control.

[The power of 'Lightning' resides in your arms]

[The power of 'Lightning' cannot be controlled]

[The power of 'Lightning' cannot be...]

Repeating messages.

He felt his Arcane Power escaping from his body. The uncontrollable force of the Bolts emitted overwhelming power even when he tried to control it a bit and dispersed like grains of sand in the palm of his hand with just a hint of excitement.

So, Hercules released as many Bolts as he could.

Otherwise, it would have been difficult to inflict significant damage to Shub-Niggurath.

Kwak-.

For a moment, he sighed while squeezing and relaxing his fist, organizing his strength.

Even if he stood still and concentrated like this, the Bolts did not obediently follow Hercules' will.

'That's difficult. And there are so many.'

Hercules had been fighting all his life with just his bare body.

Fighting using magical powers and abilities was only used to strengthen his body with Arcane Power or use Gigantification. He had never used techniques that altered the nature of his Arcane Power.

That was because he had no talent in that regard.

It wasn't that he had no talent for Arcane Power, and as a Player, he had more than enough talent.

But that was why he was a "vessel to plant the Lightning."

"Why are you so distracted?"

Maybe thanks to that, he managed to catch his breath a little?

Odin approached Hercules. He held Gungnir in his hand and seemed to be preparing for his next move.

"It still feels strange, I admit."

"You must have gained a new power."

"Yes."

"It won't be easy to control, but if you can master it..."

Odin chuckled and spoke words that would surprise anyone else if they heard them.

"Perhaps this place might become yours."

Odin, the second-ranked in the Ranking, was considered the greatest being in this Tower after the first-ranked, who had not been active for over ten thousand years.

He was saying that even he might yield his place to someone else. That's how impressive Hercules' performance was.

However,

"Thanks to you, I can finally see his face properly."

The fight with Shub-Niggurath was not over yet.

"His face?"

"Now that you mention it, you probably never saw it."

"What are you saying?"

"I mean the guy I saw on the first floor."

Kwak-.

Odin's hand tightly gripped Gungnir.

"...It wasn't that easy."

Hercules looked at the landscape he had created himself.

The land was devastated to the point that it seemed like doomsday could be today. All of this was the turmoil he had caused.

But was it that easy?

And then, at that moment,

-Beeeh-.

Along with the sudden change of the sky to a purple color, a bleat was heard in this world.
