Hearing this Hayley became stunned.
She just looked at Max in confusion, and her gaze was looking at him with a look that was saying 'Hell? Are you crazy or what?'.
Seeing this gaze, Max wanted to curse, but he endured it as he know even if the person in front of him appeared benevolent, she is still a Peak Magus, so he just sighed and didn't answer.
Seeing this, she kept pestering him until he answered.
"How about we choose a direction to see?"
He said after getting tired of her questions.
Hayley thought for a while about his words and then she nodded her head because she is also curious if this is really Hell.
Seeing her finally silent gave Max time to talk with Lena.
'Lena!'
[Yes?]
'Is there any way to return to the academy?'
[Yes, there is]
'Then, quickly tell me the way'
[You can use the system function, but you will have to wait for a few days]
'How long?'
[7 days]
'That long?' I was stunned when I heard her answer.
[Yes]
Hearing the confirmation from Lena, I just sighed again, and then looked at Hayley that is still lost in her own thoughts.
"Hey, I am going to move," I said to grab Hayley's attention.
Hearing my voice, Hayley snapped out of her thoughts and looked at me.
"Where?" she said.
"I don't know, I will just pick a direction."
'Luna, do you have any idea where should I go?'
[No]
Hearing this I just shrugged and chose a random direction to walk.

Back to the world of the living.
Mary, Hayley's grand-grand- something- mother.
This can be considered her first day on Earth after Ava gave them some information and a place to stay.
In the past, the enemies of The Devourer tried to kidnap Ava as she was still weaker than the current her.
At the time Will was rampaging around the Universe making enemies left and right, and the civilization back then was extremely prosperous as many races were competing for supremacy.
Competing for supremacy means that a lot of death and blood were occurring.
Even with the deterrence of The Devourer back in the day when he had been under the control of the Universal Will, the Universe didn't want to purge them all, so the competition remained fierce.
So, there were many powerhouses at the time, and by being strong each of them would think of themselves as the sons of luck and fate, at the time they would try to defeat the Devourer but in the end, they would end as his name suggested.
Devoured.
The situation could still be considered a little bit peaceful because the races had someone they could unite against for fear of being wiped out.
But at some point when the Universal Will shackles on Will were destroyed, Will at the time disappeared for a long period of time, a few million years.
During those long period of years, people simply thought that he died or something, so they simply returned to their previous wars among themselves.
As the war erupted again, a few races made a name for themselves.
The dragons, Demons, Vampires.
Those three races managed to be top races among the other races.
Even the gods at the time weren't very strong.
But all of this changed overnight when an angry Devourer returned from who knows where, and when he returned, he single-handedly managed to drive the vampire race to near extinction by devouring their Progenitors.
After that, he disappeared for a while before appearing and doing the same for some of the demons.
Although he disappeared from the limelight at the time, the people still heard about planets that got devoured overnight as well as the races inhabiting them.
Until sometime he started appearing with a little girl that is following him, but no one managed to recognize her race or any information about her, even when some gods tried to look into her fate.
All they saw at the time was a blank space with nothing in it.
After some time passed, The little girl that is always following The Devourer grew and became an Ascendant, which is a rank sixth in the Mana system.
Will at the time left her adventure alone to gain experience by being alone, as she always followed him.
But who would have thought that there were crazy people in the Universe that didn't care or simply forget the name of The Devourer and decided to kidnap Ava?
At the time, Will's power wasn't as omnipotent as it is right now, so he didn't know who did such a thing and nearly went into a rampage.
But thankfully before he could even do anything Ava was rescued by the dragons as a show of goodwill from them to make The Devourer give a way for them in the future he decided to go on a rampage again like with the vampires and demons.
The one that was leading the team that saved Ava at the time was Mary, although it has been a very long time, people who break into Demi-God rank are practically immortals unless something serious injured them.
Thanks to her, she got a token from Ava as a favor in the future, this is the token that Mary used to contact Ava when she arrived on Earth.
And thanks to rescuing Ava, Will at the time only devoured some dragons that didn't have pure hearts or had done a lot of evil, and ignored the rest.
The dragons at the time knew that this was the highest benevolence they could get from him.
As for why Will doesn't remember Mary even though he had seen her before?
It is because at the time he was paying attention to the rescued Ava and didn't bother to focus on the people who rescued her before he can make a move.
So when he saw her outside Earth, he just thought that she is familiar.
Currently, Mary who was remembering the past while roaming the area surrounding the place she stayed in, became stunned.
Her expression changed from being stunned to one filled with confusion.
Right now she has just sensed that Hayley's aura disappeared from Earth.
It is like she had died or as if she has gone somewhere far.
Another possibility was that she entered a restricted area here on Earth, but such a thing is impossible, after all, she has just seen her in the morning when she went to the university.
Feeling Hayley's aura disappear made Mary panic, after all, people don't usually disappear like this especially since Hayley is a princess and has a few life-saving artifacts given especially by her father.
Although they are separated by generations, she still loved the child because of her personality.
Mary immediately left what she is doing and went to the last place Hayley's aura was.
When she arrived she found nothing there, so she started investigating.
Now we will leave this scene and come to a new one, where we have Will sitting in front of a young man in a strange place.
"How have you been doing old man?" said Will with a smile.
Seeing this the young man didn't look angry, he just smiled with a kind smile on his face and answered.
"I am doing good, when did you wake up?" said the young man.
