Cheat Awakening

"You old fool," Myne growled, his voice filled with anger and frustration. "I wonder who made you a divine beast. You're hundreds of years older than me, yet you act like a child. Can't you even tell a person's condition by looking at them? What kind of divine beast are you?"

"I was trying to tell you to give me a mana potion or something to recover, but you kept talking nonsense without any shame. Forget about that," Myne continued. "Even if you can't see my condition, you could've turned your head and looked at your teammates' expressions. They're all enjoying themselves while you make a fool of yourself.

Believe me, if it weren't for the fact that we're friends and you once helped save my life, I would've definitely ganged up with them and made a great dark history for you."

Myne, who was sitting between Levi and Ymir, scolded Ymir angrily while drinking a mana potion. After his head cleared and he regained control over his body, Myne quickly recovered his mana enough to maintain his bodily functions.

After dismissing everyone, assuring them that he was all right, Myne brought Levi and Ymir, with whom he was most familiar and considered friends, and scolded them seriously.

"I'm sorry," Ymir said, his voice softer. "I got carried away. After what happened with Big Sis Fen, I was terrified of losing you too..."

"Don't lie, If you were so worried about me, why were you asking about my last wish a few minutes ago? You looked like you couldn't wait to dig my grave. And people call me a big pervert! Compared to you, I'm just a minor in this field."

Myne thought, reflecting on the many kinds of perverts. He considered himself just someone who admires beautiful females, feeling he had a long way to go before reaching the level of Ymir and Alban. Those guys are real perverts, not limited to sex.

"All right, let's forget about the past, can you tell us what you did to pull that red symbiotic out of Big Sis Fen and put it back? By the way, if you can pull it out again, I have the perfect container to seal it," Levi, who also felt ashamed because of Ymir's actions but not as much, spoke casually. She was quite curious, wondering what kind of skill Myne had used, about which she had no idea.

"Oh, if that's the case, sure. But you guys have to provide me with mana. You know how to do it, right? Like putting your hand on my shoulder and transferring mana to me. It shouldn't be difficult for professionals like you," Myne, who was comparing the silver-haired lady with both divine beasts, thinking that they all had similar levels, spoke seriously while stroking Fenrir's soft fur.

"There's no problem with that. We can provide you with as much mana as you want, as long as you can heal Big Sis," Levi said confidently, and Ymir nodded his head while giving a thumbs up.

"Oh!"

Hearing their confident words, Myne, who just wanted to heal Fenrir, suddenly had his eyes lit up, and an evil smile appeared on his face. Recently, he was thinking about where to get more platinum ores, but it seemed like he was worrying for nothing. Since someone was sincerely willing to make him rich, who was he to refuse their goodwill?

Thinking this, Myne made a sad expression as if he was hesitating about something and spoke while sighing helplessly, "Then I'm troubling you, but please promise me you won't hold back. Although you're now very confident, what I'm going to use next is something beyond common sense, something that shouldn't exist and a noob like me couldn't even dream of using.

Also, there's a high possibility that you guys might not have enough mana, so if possible, don't forget to call your friends. Anyway, those guys are just watching the fun without doing anything; they don't need mana right now."

"Is it that serious?" Levi asked, suspicious of Myne's ultimate skill. "What kind of skill requires so much mana that even Tier Four beings like us can't provide enough? And how do you know how it works if you've never used it?"

"It was just recently when I met Fenrir's mother and helped her with a small matter that she helped me use that skill. By the way, she's really powerful. The mana she used was so abundant and high-level that people felt addicted to it," Myne said with a longing look on his face. This time, he was telling the truth.

If possible, he wanted to have that divine energy, which seemed like a more advanced version of the mana he currently used.

"Big Sis Fen brought you to meet her mother?!" Ymir, with disbelief written all over his face, exclaimed dumbfoundedly.

"Yes...? She was a very nice lady. She even gave me a very expensive gift," Myne answered casually while remembering the mysterious storage box that was now a private battle place for him and his girls, where they had more time for fun. Sadly, if Hanaha wasn't so stubborn and willing to separate from her children for a few hours, they might have had a lot of fun inside.

But she didn't want to risk worrying her children by suddenly disappearing with another man without telling them anything.

"She gave you a gift?" Levi exclaimed, her worldview crumbling. "I never got that kind of treatment. What about you, Uncle Ymir?" She turned her head robotically towards Ymir, who was in a similar state to her. Thankfully, he was wearing a helmet that saved his image; otherwise, his awkward and betrayed expression would have surely made Myne worry about their inner thoughts.

"Never. Even when I asked her to give me extra cookies in childhood, she never gave them to me, telling me I would have bad teeth if I ate cookies while giving others as much as they wanted. When I complained, she told me I was big and shouldn't compare myself with others. So forget about giving me any gifts; I would be happy beyond words if she had even praised me. She never loved me like the others.

Sometimes, I even wonder if I'm really her child," Ymir, who was lost in his old memories, spoke in a sobbing voice while tracing circles on the dome with his finger.

Levi and Myne looked at each other, their faces filled with sadness. While they didn't understand the full situation due to their age difference, they could imagine the loneliness of a child who was always treated poorly at home, standing in a cold corner while others enjoyed their life in a warm place, eating delicious cookies and receiving enough love from their mother.

"Uncle Ymir, please don't be sad," Levi said, walking over to him and hugging him. "Forget about the past. Now I'm here for you. Don't worry, you can come to my city whenever you want, and I'll feed you the best cookies in the world. I'll give you a home and the warmth of a family you've never had."

Myne, in the background, also wiped away non-existent tears. Although he didn't feel much hearing Ymir's story, as a friend, it was basic manners to feel sad in your friend's sadness. No matter how much you want to take pleasure in the other party's misfortune, formality is necessary; otherwise, the chance of losing a friend is quite high.

"All right, we can discuss this matter later, but now saving Fenrir is most important," Myne said, kicking the emotional atmosphere away and bringing both uncle and nephew out of their emotional state. He spoke while taking out a mysterious-looking golden box, opening it slightly, he looked inside it before nodding with an understanding look, and placing it on his lap.

"Let's start then. Remember, don't hold back and pour as much mana as you can," Myne spoke, putting goggles on his nose and starting to examine the red symbiotic inside Fenrir.

Ymir and Levi wiped their tears, came behind Myne while talking in very low voices, and placed their hands on each side of his shoulders.

"Are you ready?" Levi asked with a 10% curious and 90% regretful expression. After all, if Myne's skill didn't work and the mana they poured into him didn't find a way to go out, with a human body's small mana-holding capacity, they might not know his plan, but he would explode like a watermelon for sure.

"I've never been more ready. Go ahead, pour everything you have into me. I want to taste it..."

"Can you please stop talking like that? I feel like if you continue, I feel like if you keep going, I'll soon hear you describing your intimate time with your wife. It's uncomfortable," Ymir interrupted, his face scrunching up in disgust, making both Myne and Levi frown—the former because of the loss of the perfect speech, and the latter because she really wanted to hear the next part.

"Fine then, let's start our rescue operation. Hopefully, Fenrir will forgive me after I save her ass," Myne spoke as he felt a lot of mana pouring inside him. It was the same feeling as emptying an entire bucket of water into a small cup—overall, a complete waste.
