Any spoilers avout Hargaan or olympus? What's the status of mc to his previous comrades like Wukong or Hercules? What's inside the egg?
I didn't read The novel but from what I've seen on wiki fandom, yes her name is Pandora and she is his wife
Holy cow, yes! I mtled the novel and found out he got married at the end. This Pandora has an orange hair and haven't been appearing on the manhwa yet
This might be dead, but here's what I read so far in the machine translated world: Spoiler: Story Related, but not Plot Specific 1: Outer gods infest the tower, specifically chaos 2: Inhabitants of the tower can set up exams 3: Inhabitants can call for the administrator for a special test, instead of the general test Spoiler: Up to floor 41 begining After beating the level 20 trail and obtaining the Stone of the Ocean, our MC returns to the first floor. He uses the broken sword of Susanoo, to find a massive hidden dungeon. The ghost of Susanoo greets and torments him as he climbs this 100 floor tower. Along the way, he finds King Arthur's corpse with the king's spirit trapped inside. He crushes the zombie and free the king. On the final floor, he fights against the remains of Susanoo, and wins. He claims another piece of the sword. (Unsure if it is all of it or just bits of it. Machine Translation) In addition, he gains new clothes. Floor 21 he meets a demon doppelganger. He is the son of Belial, and idolizes our MC. To the point, a couple of chapters pass by with him acting as the MC for the trial. The test is to find doppelgangers, but the demon prince is not one of those. A group set up since the tutorial is the targets. The demon doppelganger promises to help MC on one unspecified request. However, they climb the tower together and arrive on floor 25. Here we enter Britain. Turns out, Lancelot, under orders from Olympus, started the second Giant Genocide by fighting against the demons, and giants. This brought in Asgard's support, whom the Knights of the Round guild rely on. Thus the major guilds jumped in and kicked of Ragnarok. Thus the MC seeks to kill Lancelot. However, he holds the soul of Arthur and he reveals that Lancelot assassinated his son, Mordred, and hired Susanoo to kill him. Thus, MC strolls up to Merlin. Merlin agrees to help him take down Lancelot. Lancelot, under orders from Poseidon, sends two knights to kill MC. MC wins, and reveals the hidden truth behind the throne to them. The knights escort MC back to Lancelot. He kills the two knights and tries to kill the MC. However, both of them know that the administrator will step in and settle things if Lancelot kills him, so they end up backing down. Both parties wait a couple of days, while taunting each other, because the meeting of the round table occurs. There Merlin and MC show up. They kick things off, then introduce the doppelganger who's disguised as Arthur. Lancelot sees through the disguise while confessing to killing Arthur. Arthur shows up in his broken down corpse, and reveals Lancelot as the assassin of the prince. Lancelot freaks out and tries to run while mutating. However, Merlin sets up a prison barrier. Lancelot manages to fight off Merlin and make a crack in the barrier, while increasing his corruption. Then the MC steps in. The two fight for a moment, before the seed of chaos within Lancelot freaks out demands for its host to run. However, Lancelot's caught in the holy fire, and then attacked by the egg. The egg eats Lancelot whole, including the seed of chaos. Meanwhile, Olympus makes a deal with the Administration. Zeus will be allowed one strike on the 25th floor, as part of an impromptu test, and Olympus will foot the bill for hosting, and running the exam, including the rewards. Thus Zeus throws a thunderbolt down, while suffering little of the tower's penalty. Luckily for the MC, Merlin, Wukong's 25th clone, and Vulcan are all on the floor with him. Merlin and Wukong help out with blocking the storm, but it was the MC's two divine stones that do most of the work. The stones absorbed the thunderbolt as if it was the missing piece necessary to complete the entity. However, the MC falls unconscious for 5 days, after becoming a rich man once more, and earning an item which strengthens lightning resistance. He awakens to Merlin and Vulcan looking after him. He commissions Vulcan to refine the stone of the Ocean and pays him nearly all of his points. Afterwards, he faces off against Wukong. Wukong's eyes see right through MC, thus MC confesses everything to Wukong. They spar with each other, while discussing what to do next. MC agrees to go to the 50th floor and free the imprison Wukong. MC calls the administrator and ask for a custom test. The administrator agrees, and sets the difficulty to the maximum. However, he wanted the test to take over a year, much to the MC's loathing. So the MC teams up with the Heavenly Demon Cult, and completes the test within a month. Thus he advances to the next level. Before he leaves, he grabs the completed item from Vulcan: a cloak blessed with the powers of the seas. The MC triggers the power of the items, and causes the egg to consume more energy. The egg reaches 96% hatching rate. He basically flies all the way up to level 41, after that. Other things that happen, Zeus sucker punches Poseidon. Spoiler: I forgot something MC completes the Heaven Slaying Star skill. It transforms into another skill which makes him part demon. He now has access to the powers of a demon, and of a human.
Spoiler: 41 to 50 begining MC meets up with Hagrid and Hades and discuss what to do about Olympus. MC kicks open Ares' door and rips his head off. He steals a necklace from the corpse then retreats after Athena shows up. Wukong blocks Athena, who remains calm while looking over her dead brother. We jump up a few floors to find Hercules. He lives on the floor to hunt the three leaders of the non-demonic giants. However, as they meet, MC tosses the necklace to Hercules. Turns out, Zeus lied to Hercules and the necklace recorded the truth. The giants did not kill his mother, instead Zeus sent Ares to do so. Thus the giants and Hercules reconcile and vow to bring down Zeus. After some catharsis via Hercules beating the hell out of Ares captured soul, Hercules runs off and starts ripping and tearing Olympus. Meanwhile Hades and Zeus start fighting, when Poseidon shows up to help. Hades and MC negotiated his release from Asgard, as Zeus tossed him to Odin as payment for his test. Zeus still wipes the floor with them. Then MC shows up and starts helping out. Zeus still refuses to go down. Hercules shows up with a clothesline and Zeus still refuses to go down. MC plucks out Zeus eye, and steals his thunder. Zeus falls further into corruption, when MC and egg save the day by eating the seed of chaos. Zeus survives, but is beaten to a pulp by Hercules. Asgard arrive and capture both of the wanted gods, and let Hades run Olympus while Hercules is declared the new guild leader. Other things that happen: Pandora shows up, and the egg eats the seed of chaos buried within her. She takes up residence in Hercules house on the 43rd floor or so. She acts as the caretaker to both of them while MC trains his giant powers. The egg hatches at some point, and a bouncing baby boy in the vein of a Bloodborne old ones shows up. He's name Autumn Leaves. Pandora disagrees with the initial name and reluctantly agrees to this one. For most folks, they see a baby. For others, they see a giant cavern of teeth that consumes everything. The baby also restores and strengthens MC when consuming things. The three stones combine under Vulcan's efforts, and form the stone of Uranus. The grandfather of the Olympus guild and the one that half the tower died to kill. He is corrupted, but the baby eats it. This leaves the memories of Uranus within the stone. Jump a head a bit to the Jade Emperor's domain. Spoiler: 50 to Susanoo The Jade Emperor has it bad for MC. The entire heaven wines and dines him to the best of their abilities. Thus MC ends up deep within their territory. MC steals a ton of the heaven peaches which possess a ton of mana. He invades the jail, and uses the souls of Arthur and Ares to guard his path while he blasts a hole down into the depths. There we meet the eldest brother of Wukong, a magic expert, I'll name as Sanzang, because how the machine translation kept changing his bloody name. Anyhow, MC breaks him out. Sanzang figures out about Chronos, even though he has been erased. He also spars with the MC while the clones disguised the even so heaven could not find them. During the spar, MC grows stronger, and is knocked out for a bit. After the spar, MC heads to the heaven's execution site, and uses the broken furnace to transform his eyes from crimson to golden. The gist of it, his eyes ate the flames. The reason why he did it so much faster then Wukong, is Wukong does not think about things outside of battle. All prepared, the clones, MC, and Sanzang fight a long battle against heaven to free Wukong's main body. They shift the seal enough for the body to break free and he starts beating everyone up. After winning the battle, and finding rest, Wukong reveals that he was sent back once before, thus knows of the time clock. In essence, the MC believes this to be alternate parallel worlds, and also explains why he ended up being sent back over Wukong. He blew it before. After a nights rest, the trio kick open heaven's last strong hold and begin tearing things up. No one stops them, till they reach the Jade Emperor. Turns out, the old dude worked with chaos and thus is a more mature seed. Autumn Leaves eats the emperor. Spoiler: Susanoo to Asgard MC sends Wukong off on a errand. MC enters a floor 55? and meets the two former comrades of Susanoo, a pretty lady and the traitor. MC finds the mirror and the last piece of the puzzle for Susanoo's treasures. He spends another month training, and preparing. Once set, he baits the traitor into a conflict between him, the lady, Susanoo, and Orochi. The traitor dies to the lady, and Susanoo, but not after heavily wounding Orochi. Left with 3 heads, MC, the lady, and Autumn Leaves clean up with Autumn Leaves eating all of Orochi's corpse. Spoiler: Asgard to Ragnarok Turns out the Wukong spent all this time killing demonic giants of Muspelheim. This applies pressure on Odin. MC arrives in Asgard and talks to Odin. Odin reads MC mind and understand what's going on. MC wants Ragnarok to start now, in addition, the MC has two major tasks that he must accomplish: Save Baldr from his murder by Surt, and convince the Demon guild to join Asgard. MC spars with Asgard members, while waiting for things to play out. He wins Asgard's acknowledgement and thus Odin promises to start the war now. MC heads off with the demon prince of Belial to meet his dad. MC faces off against Belial in a game of question and answer, where he wins and thus secures the public support of the Demon guild after they vote: 8 to 2. Afterwards, MC fights against Diablo in a public spar, and loses in a knuckle to knuckle no backing down brawl. Diablo acknowledges him, and thus secures the private support of the Demons as well. Odin prepares his forces, while Surt rages. On the advice of chaos, he invades the Jotunheim to kill Baldr. Wukong saves Badlr and moves the giants away from the fight. During the fight, Diablo shows up and teams up with Wukong. Surt, pissed, fights to kill them. However, a message arrives, informing him that Odin invaded Muspelheim and is wrecking the place. Surt fights to escape and manages to do so, at the cost of some wounds. Meanwhile, MC jacks Surt's prize possession. A strong flame which he created over the millennia to kill Odin with. The flame nearly kills him, but the holy fire consumes the strong flame and grows much stronger. Surt returns home, finds it looted and attempts to kill chaos. Chaos laughs at him, and runs away. Thus, Surt seeks to kill Odin in revenge. Well, chaos pulls another trick and sends the dragons to aide Surt. However, Wukong shows up and convinces them to leave well enough alone. Heavens decide to align with Surt and invade Asgard, but Zeus emerges from jail and knocks out their high rankers. MC brokered a deal for Zeus to be released for a few years, if he defended Odin's home. Thus Asgard, Demons, and Zeus face off against demonic giants, and angels. Meanwhile, MC, Wukong, and Hercules fight Surt and manages to stall him long enough for Odin to intervene with his spear, Gungnir. Surt stands back up and fights against Odin. MC manages to recharge the spear and throws it, thus killing Surt. Ragnarok ends, and the demonic giants return home defeated. MC becomes the first player to be ranked, and ranked 88. Hercules gains his famous club. A branch of Yggdrasil forged by Vulcan. Spoiler: Ragnarok to floor 79 Due to all of this, MC ends up with a special test. He will be allowed to skip all the way to floor 79, if he passes it. The administrators spend a week setting it up. Meanwhile, MC fights against Susanoo as he promised he would. MC needs to win, in order to strengthen his skill of being Leader of the Dead and make Susanoo cost less mana to maintain. MC arrives at the testing site. He must defend his castle against 10,000 other players who were on the floors between 60 and 79. 1 versus 10,000, and everyone throws a festival for the event. However, MC sends out a tamed Susanoo who whips several stronger players. Thus the 10,000 players give up, and the MC passes the test. The administrators are furious. So they start a second test. Three high ranking lackeys show up and spar against MC. MC beats all three, and moves on to the third test. Our old friend, the tutorial administrator shows up. He reveals that the administrators know about the Outsiders, but cannot talk about it directly. He also informs the MC that the child will be the key to defeating the Outsiders, as long as he raises him well. Thus they fight. Well more like the MC blocks a few blows and nearly dies. As a reward for his efforts, he's allowed to either climb to the top of the tower straight away, an item, or skills. MC picks item, and receives Nir, the sister spear to Gungnir. Spoiler: floor 79 to training arc Chaos retreats and starts his next plan. He sends Indra off to kill all of the dragons. MC sends Wukong up to fight with the dragons to stall things out. Zeus meets up with Hagrid and trains with him. MC goes to an expensive training room, and ends up breaking it with Nir. He succeeds in taming the spear as his own. MC returns to the 21st floor and meets with Hagrid, Zeus, and Asura where they plan to kill Indra. Zeus wants his heart. Asura wants revenge. MC wants to stop the deaths of the dragon species. MC and Zeus fly up to the 79th floor and fight against Indra. They team up with the two dragon leaders, Fanir, and his mate, along with Wukong and Asura who were already fighting Indra. MC throws Nir, which kills Indra. However, Indra's immortality is based off of the lives of his brothers he stole. Asura sacrifices himself to remove the remaining lives, so that Indra's body regenerates, but he dies. Zeus steals his heart and runs off to regain his strength. MC meets up with Hagrid and his team. There, under a promise from Zeus, he trains the team. He sends off Susanoo to train three members, while he personally trains Hagrid and the man from earth, I'll call Jang because again machine translation kept changing his name. Here, MC realizes that Jang never experience a true battle. So he throws him into the floor 79 exam, which is suppose to be a team battle example. However, MC, and Jang enter as individuals. They both manage to complete the exam, conquering castles, and Jang develops his magic abilities further. Hagrid and Jang move off the train under Zeus who arrives with his brothers. MC negotiated for the release of Poseidon, because he realized the heart of Uranus was still too strong for him. Thus he needs the training of Uranus' three grandchildren so that he may wield it correctly.
Skipping a bit to the ending: Spoiler: Roof of the Tower In order to break through the roof of the tower, and become a true deity, you need a few things. A myth, the capabilities, and the knowledge of the test's location. On completion of the test, you gain a name like an outer god which grants you further powers on top of what you already have as a player. Spoiler: Ending Pandora does end up as MC's girlfriend or wife depending on translation. Turns out, MC is an alter ego of the main outer god, who is apart of the egg he's had since the beginning. That being was a child who died in a desert, but his resentment grew so much that he became a greedy being who destroyed worlds. Not for sure if he became the tower, as well, but acts in a similar manner. The different universes collide in on each other, and they all gather together to fight against the outer gods. MC destroys the main outer god's name and myth using his own power. By doing so, he resets everything, and destroys the chaos outside. MC disappears back into his original world, as a college student like he originally was, and everyone but Pandora forgot about him. In the end MC remembers who he is, and arrives back in the tower. He chills with Pandora, Hercules, and Wukong over cake and tea while discussing all the things that happened. I am done with the machine translation stuff, and hopefully will not delve into it again. Hope this helps other folks who want to know how this bloody 540 chapter IP ends.
https://www.readwn.com/novel/leveling-with-the-gods.html Here's the machine translated IP, all the way to its ending.
Someone please tell me before I read further... Spoiler stated that there will be a romance... Does the romance obvious or it is just barely there, or it is just enough for us to tell that there he is interested in someone? Because when it come to this type of story, As for me I prefer when there is no romance or it is just enough for us to know 'oh he like her' with no other cute or sweet moment like that.
