Max Level Newbie Chapter 171

Kwaang.

Kaaakkkk!

Vulcan easily obliterated a monster that was attacking him, not knowing who he was.

He turned to Hoculus, and respectfully bowed to him.

Although he and Hoculus did not get along recently due to their differences, Hoculus was a G.o.d deserving of full respect.

Even Vulcan, who was fully immersed in his own training, could not ignore.

“Hm-hm.”

Hoculus appeared to have softened his demeanor, but he purposefully put on a more solemn expression on his face.

That was because the action that Vulcan has just taken was in complete opposition to the purpose of the existence of Asgard.

It was the work of the Asgard managers, along with all the G.o.ds, to provide the optimal environment so that more and more individuals could rise to the positions of G.o.ds.

Despite that, it was a taboo to impede on the masters' actions in tearing apart the supreme hunting grounds in their efforts to rise to the ranks of the G.o.ds.

'Although there were a couple of incidences which were similar to this situation, in the name of releasing stress by other young G.o.ds…..'

However, there has never been another G.o.d like Vulcan who had, for the long term, consistently monopolized the Act 2 hunting grounds.

In some other way, that was an obvious thing.

That was because Vulcan was the only G.o.d who could gain something by destroying the monsters, as he was a player.

Hoculus has made that a.s.sumption to certain degree.

He had no comparable talents in ruling the world like other G.o.ds, yet he wanted to become stronger.

Also, the original impetus behind entering Act 3 was to rise to the extreme height of magic, so Hoculus, in a way, could understand Vulcan's impatience.

'However, how big of an experience level could he gain in this place after having already become a G.o.d!'

Although he couldn't tell exactly as he wasn't a player, wouldn't it be like pouring a bucket full of water into the ocean?

Having concluded his thoughts, Hoculus met Vulcan's eyes in order to admonish him.

And in order to exert greater pressure, he has even raised his force to another level.

However, as soon his eyes met Vulcan's, he couldn't help, but be overwhelmed with a great shock.

'…..Um!'

The power that has leaped in bounds that was beyond his estimation.

He thought his own physique has been conditioned to the limit, but in Vulcan's deep eyes, he felt Vulcan's pure power that was exceptionally stronger than his own.

It was as if the limit couldn't be measured, like the bottom of the ocean that couldn't be seen.

And the potential.

At the moment of recognizing the great energy that has been achieved only through conditioning and training, rather than the power that was borrowed from the humans of that lower world, Hoculus was lost for words to say.

'…..It has only been a few hundred years.'

Incredible speed of advancement.

And his unlimited potential, which seemed to have no bounds, was even more awesome.

Recognizing this at once, Hoculus put on a much more serious look on his face.

“Did you not have something to say?”

“Ah, yes.”

Hoculus suddenly came to his senses when he heard Vulcan, and he replied with fl.u.s.ter.

However, he was able to manage his emotions, and having remembered what he wanted to say, he put on a strict face and began to admonish Vulcan.

Fortunately, his chastis.e.m.e.nts were not long and dull, unlike his younger brother Honus'.

“I a.s.sume that you know what aspects I would point out by coming here.”

“…..Yes.”

“Asgard is a s.p.a.ce that was created for all dimensions' life forms, except for the demons.  For the reasons of protecting our world, and to satisfy every individual's desire to become strong, what you are doing now is not right.”

“I am sorry.”

“As you have gained much through Asgard, those who are here will gain much more.  I know your heart in wanting to be strong, but I hope that you do not take away the same opportunities from those who live in Act 2.”

“…..I will keep that in mind.”

Only after hearing Vulcan's reply, Hoculus came to a full relaxation and was able to put on his usual facade.

Still, it was an expressionless appearance, but it was a much better look than the hardened frozen look that he had on earlier.

He spoke again.

“I'm not sure why you are so anxious.  You are sufficiently strong.  Stronger than anyone when comparing the physiques, even with the G.o.ds in Act 3….Yes, you are complete even to the point that I could not even guarantee that I will be victorious.  I'm not certain if you are worried about not having enough deity power…..However, with time and after becoming used to the G.o.d's roles, you would feel much better.”

“You are sufficiently becoming stronger and quickly.  You certainly do not need to be anxious at all.  Humhum, I think I might have said too much.  I'll be on my way now.”

After a farewell from Vulcan, Hoculus disappeared through the portal that was connected to his temple.

Vulcan kept looking in to the direction in which Vulcan has disappeared.

He wasn't necessarily observing anything closely.

He was only standing there in his own thoughts without a focused look.

He stood there for a little while like that, and shaking his head, he walked away.

'No need to be anxious?'

Vulcan recalled Hoculus' words.

He certainly did not agree with Hoculus.

He did agree with Hoculus' observation that he was developing strong, quickly.

However, he could not agree with the statement that he was complete as far as physicality was concerned.

The countless number of demon kings, who are over A levels, exists in the demon world.

The lord of war Powell was demolis.h.i.+ng his own limitations, even in the absence of level-up system, through endless study of sorcery and terrifying battle instinct.

Lastly, Rock Seager who is rebirthing as an abnormal terrorizer by treating even the terrible demons of the demon world.

Thinking about them, he felt that his existence was just one of those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds.

'I might have shed the clothes of a newbie….but, I'm still a kid.  I have no intention of idly spending away each day!'

By bypa.s.sing 1300, 1400, 1500 levels and leaping beyond his master Powell, and until he becomes the supreme ent.i.ty.

Vulcan had no intention of stopping until then when he would be recognized and called the supreme G.o.d.

'Right.  Since the experience levels being contributed to me by the Act 2 monsters were negligible anyway, I should not miss them.  I should return and practice more in fire-thunder-sword.'

Vulcan instantly disappeared into Act 3.

And in the field where the two great imposing G.o.ds have now disappeared, several other G.o.ds let out their deep sigh of relief.

“Phewwww.”

“Ha, I thought I was going to die of suffocation.”

“Huh…..Could have never imagined that a G.o.d would be that much.  The so called G.o.d Vulcan….How can he be that strong, because it seemed that he did not even use and deity powers when he was battling the monsters?”

“I know.  I, too, figured that if I could even demolish a single wall, I would reach the level of a G.o.d…..”

They, so called the supreme masters in Act 2, smiled bitterly as they made self deprecating remarks.

Unintentionally, Vulcan had destroyed the confidences of these several G.o.ds.

Regardless of that, Vulcan mercilessly drove himself to the limits like that of a master, in training, which was facing a wall, and slowly raised his level higher.
