Chapter 522

C522

The situation on the battlefield began to change rapidly.

Bang, bum-!

The two Hercules stretched their fists and swung their clubs at different enemies.

Son OhGong wielded his staff between the two Hercules, and the three stood together at the forefront of the battlefield.

And above their heads...

Craaack, craaack-le~

Zeus gathered Arcane Power with his shining golden eyes.

For a considerable time.

The lightning accumulating in the sky, again and again, formed a figure resembling a flower.

A Lightning Flower that shone beautifully with a golden color.

Just before releasing that power, Zeus opened his mouth.

"I have no intention of taking responsibility even if they get caught up in this mess."

[Thunderstorm (雷英雨)]

Flash!

Bang, bum!

From the accumulated Lightning Flower, thousands of lightning bolts fell.

An ability with enough power to change the battlefield in an instant.

The comrades fighting alongside him were stunned by that skill of unimaginable reach.

"As expected..."

"In a battlefield like this, no one is as good as Zeus."

Zeus's lightning was different from Hercules', who concentrated lightning in one point.

If Hercules was more specialized in one-on-one combat, Zeus showed his overwhelming power in the fight against multiple opponents.

If he wished, he could have easily turned a city into a desolate field.

"I don't know what happened, but..."

Arcangel Michael, leading the Rankers in place of Lee Rangjin, who had left due to a serious injury, murmured.

"It seems like we're winning..."

[The king of Asgard hovers over the battlefield.]

[All attributes increase.]

[Resists all negative effects.]

[All...]

Although Odin was dead, how did that effect persist?

Clak!

It wasn't necessary to understand.

That could be expected.

Now was the time to secure this victory.

Flap!

Shhh!

Miguel's wings on his back spread fully. As his white clothes and wings fluttered, Arcane Power began to emanate from his entire body.

Vuuu!

Miguel's body turned into wind and flew.

The Rankers, who had seized the opportunity to make a comeback, unleashed their last strength and magic.

And in the midst of them,

Pandora was sweating as she threw punches at the Outers.

Crunch!

Bum!

In the body of the Outer that was hit and blown away by Pandora's fists, a hole appeared.

But then,

Grrr!

"...?"

A shadow loomed over Pandora's back.

An Outer with the same appearance as the one Pandora had defeated.

As if they were twins, the creature opened its mouth to swallow Pandora's body.

And at that moment,

Crack!

Bum!

Hercules' fist struck the head of the Outer.

Grurr!

Hercules, who appeared alongside a lightning bolt, looked at Pandora.

Pandora, who was tense, blinked and looked at Hercules.

"You...."

A face that was familiar to her.

"Hercules?"

"You have a good eye. From your face, it seems like you're confused."

In the midst of battle, Hercules stood there for a moment to look at Pandora.

Although he had heard of her during his time on Olympus, Pandora did not exist in the future.

"I'm glad to have seen you at least once. You make a good couple, really."

Hercules, who smiled, soon walked away with a dull noise.

"...What is this?"

Several Rankers from the future already passed by Pandora's side to see her.

It all started with Son OhGong's words: "Kim YuWon's girlfriend."

Of course, there were some people who wanted to see the appearance of Pandora, one of the most beautiful women in the Tower.

Ultimately, all three were successful.

The only thing that could destroy the name of Azathoth was the power of Azathoth.

And now, he could feel that his name was slowly disappearing as it couldn't withstand Azathoth's power due to excessive use.

Crack-.

Proof of that was that the throne he was sitting on, the "Throne of the Wicked King," was gradually crumbling.

Step-.

YuWon, who had descended to the ground, began to walk through the hallway again.

The path that Mimir opened, connecting time.

As he walked along that path, his strength weakened.

Plop-.

In the middle of the path connecting timelines, filled only with ticking sounds...

YuWon collapsed in a place he didn't know if it was the past, the future, or somewhere in between.

"Anyway, with this, did I do everything I had to do...?"

The disappearance of the Name.

Since he obtained Azathoth's name and memories, YuWon had been thinking of this kind of ending since then.

The problem was one.

It was that he couldn't immediately give up Azathoth's name because he had the future he left behind.

Even Azathoth couldn't freely travel between timelines across time.

That's why YuWon decided to delay this moment as much as he could.

He couldn't give up Azathoth's Name until he was certain he could return to the future.

Woo, woo~

It could be seen that his body was slowly fading, from feet to head.

What would happen to himself after giving up Azathoth's Name?

"Will I also disappear?"

Even at this moment, he remained confused.

Was he Kim YuWon or Azathoth?

If Azathoth disappeared, would his existence completely fade away?

It was a problem that he himself couldn't be sure of.

Would Azathoth fade away, or both?

Thus, sitting, YuWon murmured.

"Name... What was my name?"

Aza-.

-thoth-.

One letter at a time, the Name fades away.

And then, soon, YuWon's Name also faded away.

The Name fades away.

Then, YuWon understood.

That the Name extinguishing meant that existence was forgotten by the law of cause and effect.

Like Chronos.

'I wondered why the old man turned out like that-.'

A scornful laugh escaped him.

'I guess it's because of this.'

In the past he returned to with the Clock Movement, Chronos became an Outer.

At that time, he didn't have time to think deeply about the reason. After all, YuWon wasn't the type to worry about issues that had no answers.

But he now understood.

The reason Chronos became an Outer.

It was because no one remembered the name "Chronos."

Only his footprints remained.

[Lost Void In Time]

That was Chronos's name after becoming an Outer.

His story, which included Olympus, Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades...

Thanks to leaving traces somewhere, Chronos didn't completely fade away. Only the name "Chronos" disappeared.

The only reason that Chronos could fight alongside YuWon against Shub-Niggurath was one.

Because YuWon remembered his Name.

'So, for me...'

YuWon looked at his hands, which had become transparent, and thought.

'What will happen to me?'

If he faded away like this, he probably had the same fate as Chronos.

Maybe no one would remember him. Unlike Chronos, he himself had destroyed his Name, so he might have an even worse outcome.

Probably, in nine out of ten cases, no, in all cases, he would fade away.

It was then...

"What do you want to do after everything ends?"

A question that arose from the depths of his memory.

To that question, YuWon murmured.

"Why did that bastard have to say something like that...?"

Why did he leave him so uncomfortable in the end?

YuWon's words couldn't continue.

The person who should continue speaking had disappeared from that place.
