Episode 199.
SH Hospital rooftop.
On the rooftop of the hospital, which was decorated like a terrace, patients with limited mobility were enjoying the breeze in wheelchairs.
Siwoo glanced around and then moved to a quiet place.
Rather than saying it was quiet, it could be said that it was a place where people could not come.
A dizzying cliff stretches out below the field of vision.
The rooftop was over 20 stories high, so if you twisted your ankle, you would be sent straight to the train to Gotub.
Siwoo calmly maintained his balance and stabilized his posture.
That moment.
[Take it out!]
Hercules’ voice was heard from within her arms.
It was too cumbersome to put in the subspace pocket, so he put it in the inside pocket of the patient gown, but it seemed to have been stuffy.
But aren’t you really locked up?
Why can’t I see the smartphone screen?
[I can only see the tickle!]
… somehow, the camera angle seemed exquisite.
Siwoo put his hand inside his chest and took out Gottube’s smartphone.
[Whew!]
Only then did Hercules breathe a sigh of relief.
[I never thought I’d see a man’s dick this close up in my entire life…!]
Hercules felt goosebumps and his whole body muscles trembled.
It was a horrifying thing even for Siwoo to think about.
But what does one do to make all the muscles in one’s body tremble like that?
Siwoo couldn’t help but feel admiration.
[But what is it?]
Then Hercules asked,
Hercules’ expression was distorted, as if the shock was still there.
[Why did you suddenly come all the way here to contact me? And why are you dressed like that?]
“That’s a bit complicated.”
[Complicated circumstances?]
“I can’t receive it in the hospital room, and when I try to receive it outside, people keep chasing me when they see me.”
[People come after you when they see you? You wouldn’t…!]
Hercules shouted as if he suddenly remembered something.
[Are you finally being chased by debt collectors? You ended up getting beaten up and hospitalized while running away?]
“That’s not it.”
Siwoo shook his head with a small sigh.
No, and why ‘finally’?
[Then why?]
Hercules’ question continued.
Siwoo told me everything that had happened.
Encountering Cerberus in the dungeon.
Blood feud with Lilith.
Finally, the fight against the red shadow.
When I finished telling all the stories like that.
[hmm….]
Hercules remained silent, lost in thought.
And omg omg.
Hercules chewed something in his mouth.
“…What have you been eating all this time?”
About halfway through the story, I started eating something.
Hercules was listening to Siwoo’s story while eating something like popcorn.
[Huh? Oh, this?]
Omnyumnyum.
[Protein bar. I contacted you right after working out, so I haven’t given you any protein yet.]
gulp.
[You need to fill up on protein quickly before time passes so that you don’t lose muscle!]
Then Hercules started picking things up again.
I took out another protein bar from inside the horn-shaped container.
Cornucopia, the horn of plenty.
The so-called money copy bug, which allows you to take out as much as you want.
It was a gift of appreciation from none other than Hades.
“Isn’t that originally mine?”
Also, it was an item that was originally supposed to be Siwoo’s.
[You can’t use it anyway.]
Urrrrrr.
Hercules gorged on protein bars at Cornucopia.
And then omnyunnyun.
He was sucking the protein bar into his mouth without thinking.
Yeah, that wasn’t something you eat, it was something you sucked in.
The muscle whale was sucking up the protein bar like a whale sucking up krill.
How much exercise do you have to do to need that much protein?
‘He’s a guy who can deadlift 34 megatons.’
So, it was a monster that could generate the explosive power equivalent to 34 million tons of TNT with a deadlift.
Considering that, I should have supplemented that amount of protein.
It is also said that food taken from Cornucopia has a perfect nutritional balance.
Thanks to that, Hercules was bulked up even more than before.
If it were the current Hercules, wouldn’t even 100 megatons be possible?
Now, the term muscle whale is no longer correct.
Muscle monster.
The concept of defining ‘that’ no longer existed in reality.
[therefore….]
Quaaaa.
“Hercules said, sucking hard on a protein bar.
[That red shadow is probably a character from Godtube, right?]
“Yes, I think so. No, I’m sure of it. Do you know anything about it?”
[hmm….]
Hercules thought for a moment.
More precisely, I sucked hard on the protein bar.
[Explain in detail the fighting style of that Red Shadow.]
It seemed like a random question, but Siwoo didn’t think so.
The characters on GodTube had their own divine powers.
The power of God is the uniqueness that represents that person.
So, if Red Shadow is a character from Gottube, then Red Shadow must also have his own uniqueness.
And in battle, its uniqueness was bound to be revealed.
Didn’t the red shadow also figure out the identity of the power that Siwoo was using?
Therefore, we were able to determine the identity of the red shadow by finding out its uniqueness in reverse.
“That’s it… .”
Siwoo described in detail the battle with the Red Shadow.
He explained everything that could be considered special, including the words, without missing a single thing.
[hmm….]
Hercules brought his right hand to his chin.
This time he was truly lost in thought and was silent for a while.
But why is that?
‘Now I can’t even bend my arm.’
The biceps of the muscle monster, fully bulked up, were simply insane.
Now all that was left was for the muscles to do the talking.
[I don’t know.]
Finally Hercules shook his head.
If that’s the case, then why did you even ask?
Actually, I didn’t really have any expectations.
And it wasn’t like I didn’t get any information.
Because there were things that could be inferred from Hercules’ answer of ‘I don’t know’.
‘At least it doesn’t seem like someone Hercules knows.’
So, it also meant that he was not a character from Greco-Roman mythology.
If the red shadow was a figure from Greco-Roman mythology, Hercules would have known about it.
‘Can we even rule out Norse mythology figures?’
Siwoo was able to narrow down the identity of the red shadow.
Of course, the red shadow might not be a character from Gottube.
So the second possibility.
If the 13 heroes, Saduz, ‘made contact’ with Godtube, then the red shadow was not a character from Godtube in the first place.
Then it is natural that Hercules does not know the red shadow.
[But you. You use super strength and still survive?]
After a while Hercules asked again.
Siwoo gathered his thoughts and answered.
“Oh, that’s it. I was lucky.”
[I’m lucky…? Is my brute strength explained by the word luck?]
Hercules made a face as if to say, ‘What, there’s a guy like this?’
But what can I do?
I was really lucky.
[Then your skill level must have increased a lot. How much did it increase?]
“Uh… I haven’t checked that yet.”
That’s understandable, because I was so out of it as soon as I woke up.
I didn’t even think about checking my proficiency.
[Please check it out.]
Hercules spoke in a tone of anticipation.
When Hercules said that, Siwoo also felt hopeful inside.
“wait a minute….”
Siwoo touched Hercules’ body here and there on the screen.
So, I manipulated Godtube’s smartphone.
Kook, kook.
“crazy!”
Siwoo shouted without realizing it.
I quickly covered my mouth because the noise was so loud.
Did anyone around you hear it?
I checked quickly, but fortunately it didn’t seem to be that case.
Siwoo let out a sigh of relief and checked his smartphone screen again.
Could it be because he wielded the power of fusion and even used the power of a monster?
Could this be the effect of overcoming a near-death experience?
The level of skill had increased explosively.
Does an average proficiency of around 16.5% make sense?
Above all, the proficiency of Insight (S+) was achieved at a whopping 100%!
[Why, why? How is it? Show me too.]
The muscle monster beyond the screen writhed.
Siwoo showed us what he was looking at through screen sharing.
and.
[…and!!]
Hercules also opened his eyes wide and looked surprised.
[My strength is 94% and my divine fighting ability is a whopping 55%?]
More precisely, I was recalling a feeling of disbelief.
It was strange to see someone who had even torn apart the apocalypse make such an expression.
But the skill level that has been raised now is more than enough.
“crazy!!”
[…and!!]
The exclamations of Siu and Hercules alternate.
“crazy!!”
[…and!!]
The round-song-like exclamation continued for a while.
* * *
An exclamation that was like a round song that continued for a while.
[by the way….]
Hercules, who came to his senses first, coughed loudly and asked.
[What happened to him?]
“…Him?”
[I mean Cerberus. He was in your dimension.]
“Ah, overview.”
It seemed like the child was saying ‘dog’, not ‘that guy’, which is a shortened form.
The difference between him and a dog.
Is it true that even this subtle linguistic play is appropriate for communication on GodTube?
Well, I guess Cleopatra would be shocked by such a lame joke.
Thinking back now, I was really amazed at how GotTube communicated.
“Well, maybe he’s at home?”
[Home? Whose home? Hades’ home?]
Hercules kept tilting his head.
But he quickly shouted with an expression that said he understood.
[Hahaha! You beat up Cerberus and sent him back to the underworld too?]
Hercules laughed heartily.
Cerberus, the gatekeeper of the underworld.
The 12th and final of the 12 labors of Hercules was to capture Cerberus.
And this was a virtually impossible task.
First of all, getting to the underworld was problematic.
The underworld was only accessible to the dead.
Even Zeus was not free to enter and leave the underworld.
Even if you somehow managed to enter the underworld, problems remained.
Cerberus is the child of Typhon and the brother of the Nemean Lion and the Hydra.
Not only was capturing them absurd, but even confronting them was absurd.
[In terms of pure strength, Cerberus was probably stronger than the Nemean Lion?]
But Hercules defeats Cerberus with his bare hands.
Hades, who was watching the scene, was truly dumbfounded… .
Well, anyway.
Hercules, who became stronger as he completed the eleven previous tasks.
Hercules beat Cerberus like a dog and dragged him out of the underworld.
And this was the only time.
This was the only time in Cerberus’ entire life that he came to the surface.
Hercules, who completed the 12 labors, became free.
[He kept begging Hades to spare his life, so I felt sorry for him and just sent him away.]
Hades was the great-uncle of Hercules.
It is not possible to just kill Hades’ pet dog like that.
So Cerberus was the only one.
Of Typhon’s children, the only one to survive was Cerberus.
Well, anyway.
[You also beat up Cerberus and sent him back to the underworld? Of course, I should do that much if I use my power!]
Then Hercules struck a muscular pose.
Crunch crunch crunch!!
also.
There was no concept in reality that could explain that muscle monster.
Siwoo nodded his head slightly and said.
“no.”
Then he stopped.
The muscle monster’s movements stopped.
The figure of Hercules seen beyond the screen.
“It’s not Hades’ house, it’s our house right now.”
[……??]
Hercules’ muscles, which had been flexing, rose in the shape of a question mark.
