The Max Level Hero Has Returned!

The swords clashed at imperceptible speeds, each strike aimed with deadly precision toward each other’s solar plexus.

A god was an immortal, imperishable being—beyond the reach of any mere mortal creature. This was true for the primordial Goddess Freyja, Thanatos whom she created, and the related being Neltarid. But the demigod standing before Davey was different, as they were no longer a god.

Since the beginning of time, there had never been a situation where a god abandoned their divinity, so it had never been considered something to worry about. But now that it had happened, there were bound to be far-reaching effects.

Clank!! Clank!!

In an instant, sparks of black flame erupted as their swords clashed several times. Davey managed to slice off Destruction’s arm—even so, they just wiped off the blood and regenerated their arm almost instantly as if nothing had happened.

Davey could tell his attacks were working; he was certain he could drain some of Destruction's vitality. However, even with divine power and the power of taboo, their vitality continued to recover by the moment.

This was the second time that even the power of taboo, which was independent of the authority of a god, wasn't fully effective. Without the same control over this power as Hercules once had, it was only natural for its effectiveness in Davey’s hands to be limited.

[A god who has abandoned its levels of divinity needs a body. They’ll likely end up clinging to one of the humans on Earth who harbors great hatred toward you. The hatred will grow and worsen over time, and Destruction will increase their power by absorbing the fantasies, dreams, and countless other emotions of the humans of Earth. I estimate that period of incubation to be quite long, though.]

This is what Arbit had told Davey, but the man wondered how he even knew about those things. Destruction currently resembled an elf from fantasy tales, but with gray skin. They moved again while wielding a sword wrapped with black energy.
