Max Level is 100? I Can Upgrade All skill s to Lv99999!-Chapter 165 --Lord of Abyss

Deep within the Abyss, in an unknowable place,

The one called "His Excellency," the supreme being, was currently taking a bath in molten lava.

He was the sole master of the entire Abyss, worshiped by countless abyssal creatures as the Lord of Abyss.

A being so powerful that even legendary gods dared not offend him.

According to ancient legend, the Lord of Abyss rarely acted, but the last time he did, he eliminated a newly-born god with a single strike.

Although this god had just come into existence, for the entire God Realm, this was completely unacceptable.

When the Lord of Abyss challenged the gods, the God Realm’s deities decisively went to war against him.

The exact details of the battle remained unknown.

But after the massive clash, the so-called supreme gods returned to the God Realm in silence.

Meanwhile, the Lord of Abyss continued to dwell in the Abyss, as if nothing had occurred.

Both the God Realm and the Abyss seemed to tacitly agree to act as though the incident had been forgotten.

Later, rumors spread that the supreme gods who had gone to battle had suffered significant injuries, and one had even fallen from their exalted authority.

Just how powerful was the Lord of Abyss?

Even now, no one could fully explain it.

The Lord of Abyss wielded incredibly potent laws, including a very special rule.

In truth, after that great battle, the lofty gods had been preparing for war with constant vigilance.

They had expected that the Lord of Abyss might seize the opportunity to invade the God Realm.

However, the reality was far different.

The Lord of Abyss merely sent word to the God Realm, telling the gods not to bother him.

Then he returned to soak in molten lava as though it were a hot spring.

In his own words, the God Realm was such a broken place that he wouldn’t want it even if it were free.

In fact, if he wished, the Lord of Abyss could have slain nearly all the gods and occupied the entire God Realm.

But no matter—he wielded one of the Primordial Laws, truly ranking as one of the highest existences.

Yet even the Lord of Abyss, a being practically invincible in power, had always been concerned with a single matter. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Even while bathing in lava, he occasionally thought of it.

That was... his expectations for Caelan.

"Caelan, you must grow quickly!" he thought.

"The Chosen One is a being whose strength cannot be compared to those worthless gods!"

...

After wandering through the [Dark Maze],

Caelan finally returned to the human royal city once again.

Even so, his mood was filled with unease.

He had thought his strength was already formidable.

However, his experiences in the [Dark Maze] had given him a harsh lesson.

The [Maze Keeper], whom he could not even be sure of defeating, had been instantly eliminated.

Who possessed such overwhelming power?

And what connection existed between the death of the [Maze Keeper] and the [Umbra Club’s Invitation]?

Was it a coincidence, or... something else?

On the other side, Audrey had been anxious ever since separating from Caelan.

Though they had returned to the city-state, her mind had not fully calmed.

She had always known that the world was full of hidden powerhouses.

But knowing of them was one thing; truly seeing them was entirely another.

Her experiences in the [Dark Maze] had far exceeded her understanding.

Only by staying by Caelan’s side had she truly witnessed the terrifying nature of this world.

Of course, beyond this, her own level had greatly increased.

Moreover, Caelan had given her a substantial portion of the loot.

A rough estimate suggested it amounted to at least hundreds of millions of gold coins.

With this round of gains, Audrey felt like she had truly won big.

Returning to her room, her gaze fell on the spider webs in the corner.

This dilapidated house in the lower city would need to be replaced.

Once her share of the loot arrived, she would go to the upper city to buy a beautiful residence and become a wealthy figure others would envy.

When that day came, if she could meet Caelan again...

Audrey did not know what she was thinking, but a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.

At this moment, she felt that gold coins were no longer important.

Seeing Caelan again was worth more than anything.

Meanwhile, Caelan had no idea that Audrey had completely fallen for him.

He had zero interest in romantic affairs.

How could dating be more enticing than growing stronger?

Now, he needed to return to the Ironclad Legion and hand all these items over to Iverson.

Once converted into gold coins, he would then continue to upgrade his skill tree.

And...

While lost in thought, he suddenly felt a soft, cottony sensation on his arm.

Soft and sticky, almost like a glutinous rice ball.

Hmm??

Caelan frowned slightly, but when he saw the figure beside him clearly, an expression of surprise appeared on his face.

Wasn’t this... the receptionist of Mylanne City’s Instance Control Center?

Why was she in the royal city?

"Why are you here?" Caelan asked tentatively.

He gave his arm a little tug to test reality, but it failed.

Meanwhile, the receptionist, looking proud, pulled him toward the Instance Control Center’s main hall.

"Mr. Caelan, I’m not the only one here!" she said.

"Marov-sama has also come!"

At that moment, Marov, who had been waiting for some time, approached Caelan.

He bowed politely and then smiled as he spoke.

"Respected Mr. Caelan, knowing you had arrived in the royal city, I could not rest because I was unable to serve you."

"Therefore, I applied to the Instance Control Center to come here and serve you personally."

"Fortunately, I can finally see you again!"

Caelan paused for a second, then began to understand the situation.

In simple terms, the Instance Control Center could not let go of such a valuable asset.

But they also knew he belonged to the Ironclad Legion, so they sent Marov to appeal to him emotionally.

Even the receptionist had been arranged to come along.

However, Caelan would never change his mind due to beauty alone.

He simply thought that leaving everything to the Ironclad Legion might not be the optimal choice.

Like the saying goes, don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

So Caelan intended to give the Instance Control Center another chance.

And Marov’s service was already exemplary.

As for the receptionist... she was just a friend.
