The Max Level Hero Has Returned!

Chapter 665

"Rinne!! Rinne!!"

"Rinne... Rinne low energy efficiency! Hi-hide and seek is requested! Rinne requests to hide!"

"Hehehehe! Red Ribbon will hide!"

Looking closer at Rinne’s face, there was a desperation that could be seen, even though her expression remained passive.

Meanwhile, Davey could feel a sense of relief watching them, despite the two children's excessive overflow of energy that made Rinne pitiable.

He was in the middle of revisiting ancient scriptures when he turned his gaze to stare intently at the lifeless body contained in the test tube. That woman, he thought, was from his past life.

Davey had never considered his life on Earth to be his first. There must have been lives before that. But his memory only extended to his previous life, and that was why his awareness was also limited only to that extent.

In the end, not only had he accidentally awakened Rinne and succeeded in gaining divine attention, but he also realized something more.

The fact that he had once been a woman in a lifetime before becoming Shin Hyun-Su in his past life was not surprising, since it was entirely plausible. Still, it was bound to feel weird when faced directly with the body of his previous life. But it was not as if he felt any attachment.

At a glance, the woman in the test tube seemed very lively. But it was not just that. Davey also felt a sense of warmth. Nevertheless, being aware of his previous existence while also having a feeling that it was not quite like himself was truly odd.

"There’s still an undiscovered place. Right here."

Rinne’s actions and the original body of Freyja, which remained dormant, led Davey to believe that there might be more interesting things hidden in the place. Of course, it would be challenging to reveal the hidden objects if he couldn’t operate the machinery's mechanism. But there was always a universal solution that worked for people of all ages, places, and cultures in times like this.

"Since ancient times, this has been the remedy."

At Davey's muttering, Rinne, who had been entangled in play with Red Ribbon and Blue Ribbon, looked at him.

"Rinne, the savior of humanity."

Rinne clapped her small palms together and began to gather particles of energy. A dark crowbar was then formed. Even just considering its durability, it already seemed to embody a formidable power.

"Master Davey, brute destruction might damage crucial mechanical parts, so Rinne evaluates."

And yet, despite Rinne's warning, he twirled the crowbar round and round.

"Just hitting it should reveal something."

Davey took a breath with the hope that what would come out would be something that could be added to the Metamorphosis Stack.

But then, in the moment when he was about to smash the ground, Milpieu suddenly appeared, saying, "I’ve found something interesting."

The crowbar was stopped just before it could smash the ground. Her abrupt appearance and declaration put a sudden halt to what Davey was about to do, making him turn to look at her.

Whether she noticed his intended action or not, she narrowed her eyes and criticized, saying, “Brute destruction isn’t interesting.”

"This place is lucky,” he replied calmly as he handed back the crowbar to Rinne. He then followed Milpieu as she led him toward the underground location she had discovered.

He had not conducted a detailed investigation of this place yet. The only noticeable aspects were the abundance of relics and the lingering essence of the ancient era. While it became clear that ancient humans did not have four arms or three eyes, what about other species? Taking into account the existence of demon species, the Lion of God, and the Valkyries from 10,000 years ago, it was highly probable that there were other unidentified species. Naturally, the curiosity of an explorer within him was piqued.

Milpieu pointed at a seemingly empty wall as she said indifferently, “This is it.”.

It was just a wall to the naked eye. But Davey’s instincts were screaming at him that something incredible was beyond the wall.

"Hmm. This is interesting. Move aside."

Without further thought, he stepped forward.

"Just, just a moment!"

"Opening it should reveal something."

He opened his hand and showed his palm as he condensed his mana.

Slam!!!

His hand then lightly struck the wall so quickly that Milpieu didn't have the chance to even let out a shout of shock. A red wave spread through the wall as something broke. Simultaneously, a part of the ground collapsed, revealing stairs leading further underground.

"My life being in danger isn't interesting."

"Yeah? I find it incredibly exciting."

After saying so, he boldly stepped onto the stairs.

Clang!! Boom!!

As the wall opened, something shot out, and a mana bullet of extremely high density flew toward him.

Bang!!!

The hit was so powerful that Davey felt a tingling in his hand. Without a word, Davey looked at his fingertips, sneakily glanced at the trap that shot out the mana bullet, and reached out his hand.

"Mana hydraulic shells, is this for real? Looks like we need to enhance Decepticons."

Ancient technology was always welcome.

"Except this."

Davey glanced around and even dodged a primitive trap, giving it just a glance. The traps seemed to have been waiting to spring up. With Davey and Milpieu as their targets, the traps started to attack. It was very obvious that the purpose of such traps was to ward off intruders. Even the condensed mana bullet from before would’ve blown the heads of most treasure hunters before they could have a chance to react.

Zing!!!!

The difficulty and danger level of the traps only increased. As soon as Davey walked down the stairs, a red laser shot out of his torso and enveloped it completely. With an instinctual sense of danger, Milpieu triggered her defensive abilities. But Davey was faster, having already leaped ahead.

Crash!!! Crash!

In an instant, Davey tore apart the high-density mana laser turrets that were attacking him and skillfully threw them into the Pocket Plane. Meanwhile, Milpieu could not hide her bewildered expression as she watched Davey dismantle the traps, which were activated to kill him, immediately after they sprung out. On the other hand, Rinne astonishingly found and dismantled the remaining ones before bringing them to him.

A trap had its limits, no matter how superior it was.

When Davey finally got bored of his collecting activity, there were no more traps left.

Then, as they reached the end of the staircase, they discovered something far more interesting.

"My god... This is too interesting." Staggering, Milpieu entered with an ecstatic expression.

What they found at the end of the staircase was a chamber. But what truly captured everyone’s attention was the massive magic stone that was at the center of the chamber.

"It's strange that it's been 10,000 years, and it still maintains its power."

What was before their eyes seemed to be hundreds of mana condensed into something.

Condensing hundreds of commonly mined mana stones would result in a monster-like object called a magic stone. It was easy to understand how valuable a single magic stone was, given how Decepticon's first masterpiece, Megatron, was created using five to seven magic stones.

However, the mana-condensed stones in front of Davey at that moment were somewhat different. And what set them apart was their overwhelming capacity. But above all...

"This must be the mana fusion Odin mentioned."

He had seen it reanimated before. It was the first time, though, that he had personally witnessed its implementation.

‘If I had used all of these during my Metamorphosis... I would have been in a much better state now...’

"Wait. Was my Metamorphosis stack 250?"

‘Then, if I take these...’

Milpieu quickly caught on to Davey’s intentions and intervened by saying, "They’re the source of energy here… If we take these, we don't know what will happen to the facilities above."

"We'll use a few for the project, and I'll personally use a few."

He never thought of handling all of these with his current body anyway.

‘I’ll use them only within a manageable range.’

But before Davey could think further about his plans, he thought of how such a vast collection of energy could not have existed without some kind of countermeasure. And just then…

Boom!!!!!

Something huge flew toward Davey, as if it had been waiting for the perfect chance to do so. But he instinctively stretched out his hand toward the massive body that was diving straight at him.

At the same time, a red demonic energy began to emerge as the devil mana within him blended with the qi of the Heavenly Destroyer Divine Art.

[Blood Demonic Attack]

[Eclipse of Strength and Weakness]

Thud!!!

With an incredible noise of impact that could not have come from a human hand, the massive figure that was flying toward Davey was repelled, and it twisted in the air.

Boom!!!!!

The rumble it caused was unfathomably loud.

"Amazing..."

"Master Davey! Massive energy detected! Rinne highly recommends retreat!"

Hearing Rinne’s yell, Davey quickly dashed out. And not even a second later, the repelled enormous being took shape, opened its jaws, and started to condense an enormous amount of energy. Clearly, the magic stones found in the chamber were the source of the energy that condensed from the being's body. And when Davey saw this, he charged.

"Why would you use such precious materials as you wish?!"

As Davey charged, the creature's energy shockwave hit him squarely.

Bang!!!!

The scorchingly hot pillar of energy incinerated everything in its path as it headed straight toward Davey, threatening to completely erase his existence.

Asking about Neltarid resulted in getting materials for Metamorphosis. But at that instant, Davey had encountered this stone-covered dragon-like creature.

Where exactly was the information he desired?

Davey felt like he was being used, and this angered him immensely. So with unrestrained fury, he stretched out his left hand toward the giant dragon's maw and extended his other hand toward where Rinne was.

Ssssshhhh...

Blue Ribbon's form then blurred, and it instantly flew to his hand.

"You think I look like an easy target?"

‘Does it think it can conceal its true form with a solid rock dragon exterior?’

Using Blue Ribbon, Davey instantly sliced through the energy beam shot.

At the same time, the gigantic dragon flinched.

But Davey did not stop there. He drew out the Aura Blade and used Blue Ribbon to stab the head of the dragon, which had suddenly come out of the magic circle.

"Come out."

Crack!!!

Then something snapped. The head of the dragon that had emerged from the magic circle began to get destroyed, and out of it came something that was all too familiar.

It was a power so feeble that it would need mana fusion stone just to sustain it. And this power did not belong to a simple creature. Instead, it was the power of a being Davey knew.

"Goddess Freyja..."

Though it was different, it was certainly Freyja's power.

Davey dared to touch it, and upon contact, he instantly felt his stigmata getting activated.

Woosh!!!!!

Then, as though it had been waiting, a radiant light surrounded the area, and someone else’s memories started to unfold before his eyes.

What Davey saw was Freyja's previous life, and it was exactly as Rinne had explained to him. Then he saw something else. It was a familiar boy of the same age.

"I'll complete it and return. Until then, the Lion of God and the Valkyrie will protect you," the boy said as if making a promise.

He had the appearance of an elf, which was not all that different from humans. But his voice was all too familiar to Davey.

"Enough already. Just go. If Goddess Freyja knows, it's going to be chaotic."

"I've told you. Goddess Freyja doesn't exist. The god you should be serving is me, the god of harmony, Neltarid."

"Goddess Freyja does exist. So, please leave."

"Hmph, it’s foolish to mention and believe in a fictional god created by humans in front of a real god. Once I achieve complete harmony and return, let's see if you will still speak the same. Rinne! Protect Freyja until I become a complete god!"

The memory of Goddess Freyja held a startling revelation. Was Goddess Freyja, the all-powerful Goddess who created and tuned the world, not truly a real Goddess?
