Novel The Max Level Hero has Returned!

Episode 498

150. Come on.

The surroundings of my heritage warehouse are filled with silence.

In the moment of silence, she murmured.

“Herculestra… I’ve heard of it before.”

She murmured over and over again.

“Yes, I caught a glimpse of it at the Wall of Truth.”

She said calmly and moved her hand.

Then she quickly drew a portrait of someone.

Shaggy hair and a gigantic physique. It was definitely Hercules. Although the appearance is slightly different, that is.

“This man?”

“that’s right.”

“Hmm… I’m sorry, but I’ve only seen this man as engraved on the wall of truth. I don’t even know what you mean by blood.”

My eyes narrowed at the unexpected remark.

“What is that wall of truth?”

“You know that the princesses of the abyss each have their own characteristics, right? My ability is the eyes that see the truth, but what I can see is fragmentary.”

“I can’t say that it doesn’t seem very meaningful.”

Knowledge is seemingly of no help to brute force, but depending on what she can see, it can be a formidable power.

All other powers seemed to be her own abilities.

“From your point of view, what does this place called the abyss that I belong to look like?”

“Endless abyss invaders, thieves without conscience, kidnappers without conscience…”

“Stop! stop! If you just let it go, it will never end. Yes… I mean a thief…”

Verdande said seriously, clearing his expression.

“I can’t give you enough information about the person Heracles, but there’s something I want to point out, so let’s be clear.”

“Something to point out?”

“You called Abyss, my origin, a thief, but in reality, the real thief is not us, but the disgusting Goddess Freea.”

oh god

This woman is now blaspheming God in front of a saint.

Hearing that voice filled with shallow anger, I was silent.

* * *

After talking with Verdande, I left Perserk at the estate and left alone. Lynne asked me to accompany her, but this time I chose to leave it in the manor because of Uld’s work.

Of course, I brought Doo Golem from the Decepticon squadron and Meramont from the Avenger squadron.

“Davey. Davey? what’s the matter? You don’t look good.”

Illina approached me with a worried expression while investigating the ruins of the Lastwisp Knights who were monitoring the underground mountains of Tartarus in the southwest region.

“It’s nothing.”

Before I didn’t know the truth, I thought they were just people to beat to death.

However, it was only after the conversation with Verdande that I noticed that it was difficult to curse.

[Don’t you know where we are and why this place is called the flip side of the coin? That’s because it changes periodically. Once changed, it usually doesn’t change much, but there is an order.]

Currently, the coin’s face is occupied by the goddess Freea, the life and main spirit of the Tionis continent.

yeah i thought that was normal.

but.

The damn thief is not in the abyss, but this way.

You can say what bullshit, but this wasn’t a normal problem.

Periodically, the worlds of heads and tails of the coin change places.

It’s like the flip side of a coin.

The problem was that the current head-to-head world was ignoring those rules.

[The Goddess Pria, the god you serve, has attracted an outsider and forever cast our world, which should have been the front side of the coin, in the shadows. Originally, we should have been in your place. This is the flow of fate that the world has, and it is natural. At this point, you’ll know who the thief is, right?]

Even as she said that, she didn’t show any hostility towards me.

[All beings in the abyss are fragments of the god Thanatos, the other side and shadow of the goddess Pria. The princess of the abyss is among them strong fragments of many thought bodies mixed together, and the others are fragments of a few thoughts that have changed in various ways.] To

interpret her words, the original abyss 10,000 years ago and the current world had to change locations.

However, for some reason, the Goddess Freea descended to a certain level in the world and tore apart the same god Thanatos, who was like her shadow, and cut off the cycle of replacement in the world.

In the process, it seems clear that the power of Heracles, an evolver who rejects even the power of God, was used.

So, it was said that he broke the order and hit the back of the head.

So from Abyss point of view, this side of the world has no choice but to be a thief.

As a result, Verdande denied that it was nonsense that Heracles’s blood relatives were active, since there was no big difference between Uld and Skuld, as long as her will was activated for about 100 years at the most.

-We are one.

It felt like what they were talking about was now understandable.

The princesses of the abyss who were born with such strong power began to radiate the hatred of the original will at random based on that hatred and power.

By destroying and destroying at random.

Of course, it didn’t take long for such behavior to intensify. So, there must be a world that is still intact.

Then why is the Princess of the Abyss not interested in Perserk?

She is definitely a being that is searching for in the abyss.

said to be queen and mother. The monsters, who were not actually princesses from the abyss, cried out for Perserk and tried to take her by any means.

In response to my question, she succinctly recited the problem of Abyss.

That Perserk is the soul that has the only power to resurrect Thanatos, the god behind the Goddess Freea, who was torn into pieces.

[No matter how great a fragment of will is, it is now just a remnant of what was called a god in the past. Do you think that beings with such overwhelming power have no limitations? We ignore the laws of the other world and make our own rules. But it’s not like we don’t have rules either.]

The Princess of the Abyss.

I couldn’t do anything about Perserk or be interested in it.

It was said that it was an innate taboo.

[But you shouldn’t be relieved. Aside from the Princess of the Abyss, numerous thought forms still crave her. It’s been a while since I haven’t been back there, but you can tell without looking. There is a high possibility of a large-scale attack on this place in the early hours.]

Abyss is preparing for an all-out war. In the depths of darkness that even Verdande could not know the end of, they began to move to destroy the world in front of them.

I questioned her explanation. Assuming what she said is true.

Why doesn’t she hate the goddess Freea? Did he want to melt and live here?

At my question, she gave me a bitter look.

[The eyes that see the truth sometimes show what you don’t want. The actions of the Goddess Freea, the main goddess, are disgusting, but she must have used her own method.]

As for the detailed reason, she said she couldn’t say it either.

We may never know whether the Goddess Pria, the main goddess, just tore Thanatos out of spite or if Thanatos had a problem.

There are only three possible solutions in this situation.

Making Perserk into the demon king, the protagonist of the world again, and having him fight against me, the antagonist.

If the main Goddess Freea enters the sphere of influence where she can officially interfere, the abyss has no means.

Second, ignore that kind of thing and have the power to collapse the entire abyss.

As of right now, it is impossible unless I summon a higher level hero from the corridor or become a little stronger because I can’t fully regain my strength.

or neither.

Sever all the links between the heads and tails of the coin.

In fact, there was only one possibility. It is to make Perserk the Demon King.

Hares, the swordsman, didn’t know much about the abyss, but he probably noticed some things through his personal power. So I would have made that decision.

To protect even the precious foster daughter’s soul.

However, I had no intention of doing that either.

“Aren’t you hiding something?”

Is it because I’ve seen the situation before? Illina asked with a worried face, and I shook my head.

“It’s just that I have a lot to think about. don’t mind.”

“Tell me if you have any difficulties. I can help you, but I will help you.”

“Did you say Kane? Who is that guy?”

“I’m just checking what you said. Other than being just an obedient kid… Davey did nothing wrong. Just grumbling like a normal child, not malicious…”

At her words, I slapped Ilina lightly on the forehead.

It was kind of funny when you think about it. Neltharid, God of Harmony. His presence made even Verdande tilt his head as he looked at the wall of truth.

“What?!”

“Didn’t you hear the story of Reinforce Alpha’s knight chief? They’re the beasts that came over from Earth to harm the annihilated knights. Of course, it’s not even close to their level, but it’s related.”

“That’s it.”

“And it was an unheard-of god called Neltharid who sent them.”

Kane is a race called Valkyria, the seed of that god.

I nodded to see if I understood what I meant, but Illina couldn’t erase the bitterness.

“Yes, you are right. but he’s still a kid You’ve just been born If such a child is abandoned even by those who consider themselves parents…”

How sad that would be.

Her words made me feel a strange sense of sympathy. Maybe it’s because of the memories that are still left in my head that I just watch the situation, pretending I didn’t win in her opinion.

Precious people should be treated with even a little more respect.

be good when you are

Isn’t there such a thing?

Ilya was also well aware of the sadness of being separated from her family.

Of course, it wasn’t just the emotional part.

It was clear that Kane followed Ilina to the extreme. Because there is no surer guarantee than Perserk’s confirmation.

It is better to be an easy-going idiot than a serpent who has something hidden in his head right away.

“Tsk. If you want to do something useless, unconditionally shake the carrot-shaped jewel I gave you. I will go right away.”

“If that happens, are you going to kill him?”

At her bitter question, I firmly nodded.

“Remember. I don’t know him, but the guy behind him is dangerous. If he behaves nonsense, I will kill him without hesitation.”

Killing right away just because it’s dangerous is stupid. Unlike the few earthlings who passed through the game, Kane is the only key to contact the god Neltarid.

Seeing that Goddess Pria, the main goddess, is tolerating it, it seems to mean that there is room for negotiation.

At my explanation, she silently embraced me. Then he put his forehead on my chest and said bitterly.

“It’s sad that you don’t believe it easily.”

“…”

There can be nothing wrong with being kind to someone. It is not easy for an unmarried virgin to accept a small child she has never seen before as her son.

Wasn’t it me, not her, who brought the egg from which Kane was born in the first place?

At that time, a large number of people were felt on the other side of the forest. As it is the base of the destroyed knights, Illina, who felt their presence, put on a nervous expression.

Feeling mischievous at her appearance, which seemed disturbed by the conversation earlier, I cautiously put my hand on her shoulder and expressed my strength.

“Huh!?”

At the same time, Illina let out a shrill scream and sat down.

Shaking and crouching down, she glared at me.

“Davey!!!”

“Relax.”

“You keep doing weird things to my body?!”

“What did I do?”

When I answered politely, pretending not to know anything, she bit her lip.

“The soon-to-be-married child did this… haha that’s okay.”

A look of bitterness crossed her face as she said that.

Since this area is where the headquarters of the annihilated knights are located, it must be the advance party of other knights who have been dispatched to investigate first.

“Welcome, Boris. I was waiting.”

As they entered the completely ruined forest, people in black robes appeared from the other side of the forest as if they had been waiting.

There was a look of perplexity on their faces.

“Melbek. Long time no see.”

“This is the first time since Kelsaik, the Great Demon Beast, went on a rampage before. Are the people in the back reinforcements from Reinforce Alpha?”

“It is.”

At Boris’s words, Melbek quietly stared at a few people, including myself, besides the knights paladin Fildir and the priest Lucie Schellman, the twins Renda and Illina, who had been dispatched as a follow-up investigation team.

And his gaze soon reached me.

“That man is him…”

Apparently, rumors about me had already spread to some extent within the Knights.

“exactly. A reliable ally.”

Boris smiled and boasted about me.

“He is the benefactor and nobleman who saved us all.”

“It’s really amazing. I can’t even feel a handful of mana…”

Melbek seemed curious that he couldn’t feel any mana in his body.

“First, I’d like to hear a little about the situation inside.”

At Boris’ words, Melbek nodded quietly.

“I’ll have to do more research to find out, but check it out first.”

The annihilated headquarters of the Knights Templar was filled with a dreary atmosphere.

No one is here. However, bloodstains and traces of destruction on the walls showed the situation at that time very clearly.

“Hmm… Bloodstains. But there is no trace…”

If Mana ran rampant, Mana was Commander Mana. Commander Mana.

There should be traces, but it was so clean.

“First of all, let’s divide the team, Fildir. Sister Renda asks you to go downstairs to investigate the upper floors with Lucia. It is an order to immediately withdraw and report if you feel anything strange.”

“Yes, teacher.”

Even though they became members of the same knights, would the relationship between teacher and apprentice break so easily?

Leaving them behind as they answered in a controlled manner and then dispersed, I paired up with Illina and began to investigate the outside of the Knights.

“There are bloodstains here too. Looking at the sheep, it seems that there was a lot of fighting.”

Looking at the bloodstains left in the quiet garden, Illina murmured.

“By the way, aren’t there any corpses?”

As I gazed at the scene silently, a thought suddenly came to my mind and I asked Melbek, who had followed me.

“Ah, yes. Not a single body was ever found… Ugh! Could you please speak comfortably?”

“Please do whatever is convenient for you.”

“Chemm! don’t do that When our knights first arrived, all but a few bodies had already disappeared.”

“It sounds like there were still dead bodies.”

At my words, he nodded quietly.

“yes. The corpses have already been evacuated to the Knights Headquarters and requested for detailed identification. Whatever happens will come out.”

“What if I find the evil of this job?”

Even looking at it, it was clear that it was not the work of a demon or monster.

If so, what if the enemy is confirmed even though it is said that it is the same human or a different race?

“We have to have a meeting, but we can’t just leave it alone. But aren’t you having difficulties with the investigation? there is no trace I tried to use the spiritists to read my memories, but they were all erased.”

I calmly shot and put my hands on the floor.

“Don’t worry about that.”

At my words, Melbek and several other knights looked at me incredulously.

“What… are you trying to do?”

“I will read the memory of the land through the spirit.”

Melbek frowns at the way I speak in a soft, relaxed tone.

“No sleep. I’m not ignoring you, but didn’t you listen to me? I couldn’t read the memory even through a higher level earth elemental. Someone definitely deleted it…”

“There’s nothing in the world that can’t be done.”

If you want to develop a skill, you can change the ball.

If you want to read the memory of the land like this.

[Noahs.]

I just need to replace the spirit king.

Keuggugguk!!!

At the same time, the ground twisted and a huge earth giant began to appear.

“omg?! So, so, so, so, so! Spirit King!”

One of the frightened knights sat down and burst into astonishment.

It has to be.

The Spirit King is like a legend to the spirit lords. It was only natural that the spirit king would be surprised enough to take his breath away from the elementalist’s point of view as the elemental king popped openly in a yard where even the highest spirits were hard to see.

Melvek shouted in surprise at the man who was almost out of breath.

“Hey Marvas! Why but!”

“Spirit King! This is the Spirit King! To see the King of Spirits while alive in the three worlds! Ahhh! Now, even if I die, I have no regrets!”

It can’t go away if it splits.

The appearance of Marvas, a member of the advance team, looking up at Noahs as if he was thrilled, was so pitiful that he wondered if he had done anything wrong.

[Long time no see. Contractor.]

“Noahs. Read the memories of this area. I can roughly guess the culprit, but I have to convince him.”

“You think you know the killer, Davey?”

Surprised Ilya looks at me.

“It’s obvious.”

Noah immediately put his hand on the ground at my plain reply.

[Memory erased.]

“So?”

[It’s hard to confirm.]

Melbek looked at Noahs and sighed as if he was still bewildered at the sudden reply.

“The Spirit King is also surprised, but… to erase it so that even the Spirit King cannot be recognized. It looks like you’ve thoroughly erased your memory…”

“Look for it.”

“Eh?”

At my next words, Melbek stopped talking and looked at me blankly.

[What?]

“Look for it.”

Noah’s expression seemed to frown at my calm request.

[Contractor didn’t hear me…]

“Roll it like Yuriana? where do you sell drugs Did you think I wouldn’t know that I can’t do it because it’s annoying?”

My elementalist teacher, Yuriana, did a really good job with elementals. There is nothing that cannot be called me.

[Fucking vicious woman! You torment me even in death! Wait a minute!]

Noah’s cry echoed. and after a while

[Confirmation complete. Restoring memories is usually not a hassle.]

“You said you restored erased memories?”

As if the situation unfolding in front of his eyes was astounding, Melbek muttered nervously.
