Once Max's headache subsided a bit he was able to move and think more clearly.
He had already gotten a lot of loot from just the clone's visit to the mage tower and if he were to believe in the rings power and rely on the clone's memory, he could raid floor 1-65 with 2 of his friends and get a lot more.
He did not need to risk meeting Zogaroth whose power level was unknown or tangle with Arandale who was definitely at least tier6.
However, he was reluctant to give up on this chance to explore the truth behind the sealing method of the god's as while he could rely on Angakok and his powers today, once he reached Godhood and had to tangle with tier 7-8 entities he could not always rely on Angakok for help.
Also, he did not trust Angakok fully, the shaman god was by no means simple which is why having an ultimate move like a sealing method which even tier8 god's could not break would become a Trump card in Max's arsenal in the future.
