The Max Level Hero Has Returned!

Davey sensed no deceit in what they said as they looked into each other's eyes, which conveyed their bewilderment.

‘What kind of shitty situation is this?’

Noticing how Davey dazedly stood on his spot, she cautiously raised her hand. “Uhm...”

"What is it?"

At this, she proceeded to hesitantly ask, “Have we met somewhere before?”

Just as Rinne looked like she was about to answer, Davey instinctively realized what could have caused this. It was obvious who was to blame—the mysterious mist that had enveloped them when they cout from the underground energy storage, where Goddess Freyja's power remained.

So now, they could no longer perceive Davey as Davey anymore recognize Davey. It wasn't like they had completely forgotten about him. After all, they still reacted to the mention of his name. They simply could not recognize him. So had his looks changed? That didn't sound plausible. Rinne would have noticed first, if such were the case.

Crash!!!

The door burst open, and dozens of knights rushed in as their urgent shouts filled the air.

"Saintess! Please, get back!"

With tense expressions, the knights drew their swords and surrounded Davey and Rinne.

"A blasphemous aura against the divine will has been detected!"

"Please step away, Saintess!"

"Hmph."

They were ready to confront Davey as if they were facing a life-threatening enemy.

A blasphemous aura against divine will? Essentially, they defined a "blasphemous aura" as a force against humans or those at odds with humans. But considering that devil magic originated from human medical advancement and physical research, their logic was flawed. Still, that was hardly a concern for them at the moment.

Davey could resolve the situation in a snap if he revealed the large stigmata on his back. But he chose not to.

Something was off in this world. He even began to doubt whether this was the sworld he belonged to.

Then, the elderly knight, who seemed to have a high rank, declared, "If you surrender quietly, we won't resort to violence!"

This prompted the other nights to take a step closer.

In response, Rinne braced for action, prepared to defend at any moment.

"Um... Dad?"

Red Ribbon and Blue Ribbon rubbed their eyes, having awakened from their sleep as if they had sensed the odd atmosphere. They then looked up at Davey curiously.

It was at that moment that the Saintess said, "Wait! Hold on a minute! There are children here. Don’t!”

But then, in response, one of the knights exclaimed, “Don't let appearances fool you! Did you not see it before? With Davey, the continental Saintess!”

‘What?’ Davey's eyes twitched.

"Say that again?"

"Be quiet!"

"No, what did you just say?" Davey asked with a frown.

The old knight responded to the question by sternly glaring.

"There have been instances of demonic and vampire powers using the guise of children to betray many people during wars! Do you think such tricks would work again?!"

"Master Davey's status as a Saintess is highly questionable," Rinne remarked, tilting her head and casting an innocent glance at Davey. She then glanced at Davey's chest before quickly averting her eyes. "Master Davey. Definitely a male, as confirmed by Rinne..."

"Keep it down," Davey replied and sighed.

It was absurd how these people sensed a 'blasphemous aura' from him when there was none. That just meant that the situation was truly not normal.

"I should head to the Heins Territory first," Davey muttered under his breath as he lifted Red Ribbon and Blue Ribbon. He then swiftly stomped the floor.

Ooong!!!

Realizing what Davey was doing, the elderly knight immediately exclaimed, "He's using magic! Deploy the magic disruption barrier!"

Upon the given command, sclergy immediately pulled out peculiar-looking artifacts.

"These artifacts can even block high-level mages’ spells! So just give up! If you use magic recklessly here, your entire body will shatter into pieces."

[Dispel.]

Ooong...

Davey slowly waved his hand as he calmly spread his mana, causing the artifacts that were deploying the magic disruption barrier to start overloading.

Crack!!

It didn’t take long for the artifacts to begin bursting apart violently.

"It's impossible! Those were the artifacts directly entrusted to us by Saintess Davey!"

"Fascinating. Did this fake Davey create them?”

"Fake?! Don't joke around!"

Davey then muttered, "Goddess Freyja, there's much to discuss, but it seems you're not willing to listen for now. So, I'll follow along with this joke."

Woong...

The magic circle that Davey had summoned generated a massive blue spark, and as the knights desperately attempted to close in for an attack, Davey's body had already leaped through space before they could enter the magic circle.

Woosh!!!

The air shifted around him, and a completely different ambiance enveloped Davey. Astonishing sights met his eyes. There were massive and elegant walls and a thick crowd of people that surrounded a massive magic barrier.

"What the heck?" Davey muttered when he realized it was similar to his own. The mana wavelength it emitted was identical to his, even though the manner in which it operated was different.

"Master Davey. High-energy barrier detected. Rinne reports it cannot be breached by Rinne’s output."

"There’s no need to break through."

Whether Saintess Davey was a man or woman was still unclear.

‘If this person is not too different from me...’

"Push straight through. If I’m correct on this, we can enter as we wish, but we wouldn’t be able to leave as we please," Davey said.

Zap!!!

If the huge barrier was constructed from the knowledge that he knew, then breaching it was plausible.

Whoosh!

Changes started to ripple over the territory as he merged into the barrier that resembled flowing water.

"Master Davey! High energy detected!!"

Rinne's urgent call prompted Davey to instinctively deploy a barrier. It immediately dismantled the approaching light ropes, which were then wrapped around it with a single twist before disintegrating.

"Huh?"

It was obvious that this was an advanced defense system that entailed the refinement of a significant number of magic stones. Not only was it designed to bind intruders, but it was also designed with an alarm system as well.

Clang!! Clatter!!!

Instantaneous detection of massive energy followed, and the surroundings were illuminated by the alarm. But before Davey could act, metal-bodied giant golems encircled him.

[Intruder. Subdue.]

A heavy voice was heard as the all-too-familiar golems launched their assault. Sure, they aimed to incapacitate, but their attacks were calculated, obviously aiming for elimination.

Clang!!!

Naturally, Davey decided to respond accordingly, summoning his own golems.

"If they possess the smana and are humans like me, then I really don’t want to lose."

Ziiing!!! Clang!!!

Two Megatrons that were of the ssize and with the sdesign generated massive mana chainsaws and collided, causing sparks to fly as a booming noise resounded.

No matter how much Davey thought about it, something was really weird. Was Davey really in Tionis? Or was he in a parallel world with different circumstances?

Although various thoughts crossed his mind, the most plausible explanation he could think of was...

"A Dream World..."

This could be a world inside a Goddess's dream. After all, she had said she would put Davey through trials, and although he did not know her purpose, Davey did not think she would go as far as to use a parallel world for these unreasonable trials.

Clang!! Clang!!

It was impossible to determine which of the two Megatrons was superior due to their practically identical specifications. But while one of them was more concerned with speed and flexibility, the other focused more on strength in its movements. But there were also other parallels between them.

As the fight between Megatrons continued, a giant golem that was wielding a massive dagger appeared out of nowhere, right after Davey threw all the remaining cubes. But he could not afford to lose. This was a fight for the pride of Davey's existence.

‘Who dares to beat me, a fake?’

Clang!!!!

With a heavy sound, the Decepticon Fleet golems—the Puma that Davey knew and the Puma of this place—crashed into each other with near-instantaneous speed. As an enormous beam flew in from afar, Princess Davey’s defensive golem raised its shield to block bullets, and almost immediately, Davey’s juggernaut golem pulled out a minigun, firing a hail of bullets.

"Kyak!!!"

Bang!!! Bang!!!

When a massive explosion boomed, screams also erupted. As the residents began to flee in fear as a result of his behavior that was almost intruder-like, Davey controlled the golems toward the area where they would remain unharmed. He also cut off all the mana ropes that were trying to restrain him.

Crack!!!

In a tug-of-war of power, Davey's Megatron threw the other Megatron away. The enemy Megatron, which was sent flying, crashed into a massive spire, which then collapsed from the impact. The debris from the aftermath of the collision directly headed toward the residents, who could not escape in time.

“Rinne, rescue the civilians.”

At Davey's command, Rinne's blue eyes shimmered, and she dashed away like a flash of light.

"Aaaahhhhh!!”

"Ugh!!”

Davey reached out his hand toward a screaming father, who was holding his daughter.

Woong!! Thud!!

With a loud sound, fragments of the giant spire stopped mid-air, and Rinne took the opportunity to lift the residents all at once, taking them to a safe zone.

“Milpieu, could you help out?”

“Humans, insignificant...”

“If dying is what you desire, then go for it. Remember who's keeping you alive.”

“Not interesting,” Milpieu grumbled with a scowl before disappearing in a heartbeat.

In the chaos that had entirely turned into a battlefield, Davey suddenly beccurious about the Saintess, who shared his name.

‘Who is it?’

And why was someone of the snas his, who was neither a holy man nor a prince but a Saintess—a designation for a female—involved? The truth would likely require closer inspection.

‘Yes, if I meet her...’

Davey planned to first cause hair loss on her head.

‘Do not think your hair roots would be safe just because you are a woman.’

Zing!!!

A black aura flew directly to Davey and merged into his body.

“This...”

A familiar woman's clear voice rang out, asking, “Which fucking fool is causing trouble in my territory?”

A woman then appeared, tearing through space from the sky.

“Ah... Ah... Princess Davey!!!”

The eyes of the residents becimpossibly wide from the surprise of seeing her suddenly appear from the sky.

“What are you doing?! Saving lives comes first, doesn’t it?! Get the residents to safety now!”

The guards immediately followed her command, swiftly evacuating the citizens in an orderly manner. Naturally, Davey had no reason to stop them. What he wanted to observe was the structure of this world and the existence of the uninvited guest who had taken his place.

She emanated an immense aura identical to his because of their shared physique. She was different from him, and yet at the stime, she was also similar to him.

“Master Davey... Resemblance is confirmed.”

Indeed.

“Do you want to die? What’s with the mess in someone else’s home?” She asked, showing an ominous smile toward Davey.

“Davey, the smile is also identical.”

Even though they looked remarkably alike, she had more beauty and purity than a man. Still, there was a threatening iciness in her gaze.

At a glance, she seemed to look like a mix of Davey’s appearance and of the Priestess Freyja from Goddess Freyja's memories.

“What are you doing in my home?”

She frowned at Davey’s question and said, “What kind of nonsense is that?”

“My line, bitch.”

Hearing the remark, her lips stretched into a smile. But then her expression hardened at what Davey had sent her way—the curse of Versha and the usual curses he typically used.

And the target was her shiny, long black hair, which gleamed beautifully.

‘The curse of baldness!’

The woman who stood in front of Davey had directly cursed his hair, and she then realized what Davey had done as well, making her frown deeply.

“This damn bastard.”

“If you prepared yourself to pluck out someone’s hair, then you should be ready to have yours plucked too. How dare you put a hair loss curse on someone?”

“...”

For the first time, she seemed surprised by Davey's words. She was apparently almost, if not exactly, at Davey's level. But she remained ignorant about Davey, while he had at least sinformation about her. The psychological warfare stemming from this difference had a significant impact.

“Megatron... What are you?”

Davey grinned at her question. “I am Davey O’Rowane.”

Ka-Boom!!!!

Davey and Princess Davey then moved at the stwith a tremendous speed that could not even be detected by anyone else. They caused a vast shockwave as they drew their swords against each other. But this time, they were different because the sword she drew was not Red Ribbon or Blue Ribbon. It was the white divine sword, Caldeiras.

“Why do you have that?”

“...”

“Where's its original owner?”

“Could you shut that mouth?”

Her aura becferociously threatening.

Different. Several things were different. A prince was now a princess, and a holy man was a holy woman. The symbols of Davey O’Rowane were nowhere to be seen. So were Blue Ribbon, Red Ribbon, and Rinne.

What on Earth did Goddess Freyja want from Davey in this place?
