[5th floor of the Planet Killer Dungeon]
With literal goddesses and demigods joining the search, it took less than a day for the legion to find all they were looking for.
What they found were merely some worn-out drawings that, in a strange way, after Unity laid her eyes on them, woke her Primordial Spirits.
They had been in a deep sleep for a long time due to overexertion. However, the painting deep in the Dark Princess's cave helped jolt them awake.
The previous floors had techniques and hidden information. Thankfully, they weren't merely paintings; they held some form of recognition of the goddess of love.
They later went back to Holix City, where, under the authority of the Goddess of Light (Yuyin), a new pope — the true pope — was crowned.
She also made sure they would handle the rebuilding of the villages and deploy more holy guards to protect them, to ensure nothing like what happened with the Dark Princess happened again.
Lastly, under her authority, a special unit called the Light Bearers was formed. Their mission was to spread the word that the Goddess of Light had risen.
The main aim was to restore people's hope in the Goddess of Light so they would keep worshipping her. This would, of course, strengthen their fate.
After that, they left the city.
"Big sister, is it really necessary to let people know the Goddess of Light has been reborn?" Yuyin asked, walking beside Vexthra and the rest of her sisters.
"Of course, it is necessary. You are not a goddess like Miryssa and me. We are Domain Goddesses, so without the power of faith, we will keep rising in strength and divinity. All that is required of us is to comprehend our laws and keep going until we reach the peak, which is Celestialhood.
However, you are a Faith God, so you need faith power to grow."
Vexthra paused, turned to Yuyin and asked, "Or do you think my divinity comes from hatred and resentment?"
Yuyin blushed and nodded.
"Well, I get that a lot. Many people think my power comes from the hatred and resentment of mortals and immortals. The truth is, I don't get empowered by them.
My divinity came from my comprehension of hatred and resentment." Vexthra smiled. "And yes, I chose to comprehend that law since at that time, I was in a very bad place. However, I am not anymore, but I cannot go back and change it either, so I guess I am the Goddess of Hatred and Resentment."
Unity, being the one more in tune with emotions, gave Vexthra's hand a gentle squeeze, making sure she knew they all were there for her.
Vexthra smiled, appreciating the support. "Of course, there is a god of hatred and a goddess of resentment out there. My case is special because I have both domains—Hatred and Resentment.
However, you, Unity, Val, and Neomi are Faith Goddesses. This means your divinity would be empowered by your followers' faith in you. So the earlier they start worshipping you, the better."
Yuyin nodded.
If it were up to her, she wouldn't have made a move now until she became the Goddess of Light. However, it seemed Vexthra had a much better plan, and since she is a goddess, she knows what is best, so if she had a plan, it must be the right one for her.
"Relax, you have us to help when the time comes. With me around, you all are going to become powerful goddesses in the future."
Yuyin and her sisters nodded, letting a smile appear on their faces.
A few minutes later, they met up with the legion and decided to head to the 6th floor.
"We will follow the same play. If the threat isn't much, only a select few of you would handle it. Of course, since some of you fought here, you should expect a chance, should it come down to picking only a few of you.
But if we face a harrowing threat, then you might have the chance to fight with everyone."
They nodded.
"Also, after the next floor is cleared, we will use the rewards for that floor and this one before heading to the 7th floor." They nodded again.
Each will receive a Limit Breaker Key and an Innate Talent Booster Pill. Although not all of them participated, their presence means they would receive the same reward as those who fought.
Even Vexthra, who is a goddess, would receive some, and the best part is that, when consumed, it would work just fine on her as it would for her sisters, who are mortals.
It is one of the benefits of being in the team that is clearly one of the Calamity Dungeons in the Universe.
"Okay. Let's go to the 6th floor."
She opened the portal, and soon, they all walked through.

[Sixth Floor - Fire Country]
"Damn, this place is hot," Elaine said, standing on scorching earth, surrounded by a burning forest, molten rocks, and remains of both humans and beasts alike.
"Let me take care of it." Aetheris, the leader of the Eternal Wrath legions, drew his long sword and stabbed it into the ground. At once, the heat in the air and the burning surrounding them were absorbed into his sword.
"Thank you," Elaine said before turning to Vexthra...
"Looks like a dangerous battle happened here," Vexthra muttered, looking at the remains of the dead humanoids and beasts scattered across the scorched ground.
Suddenly, the ding sound echoed in her head. She knew the details of their mission had been revealed, so she shared it with her sisters and the legion.
⟦Name: Planet Killer Dungeon⟧
⟦Floor Name: The Nine-Headed Flaming Lion (6th)⟧
⟦Power Level: Empyrean⟧
⟦Description:⟧
↠ Three weeks ago, a group of zealots performed a forbidden ritual with the aim of summoning a Calamity Beast from the forbidden lands and harnessing its power to take over the Fire Country and eventually the entire world.
↠ However, when the ritual was completed, and the Nine-Headed Flaming Lion was summoned, they realised their control over it wasn't enough to command it. In the end, they were burnt alive, and a Calamity-level beast was unleashed in the Fire Country.
↠ The Fire King had mobilised his army, but after their first confrontation, it became clear they could not fight it head-on. It was just too powerful for them.
↠ Thankfully, the Water King, Earth Queen, and Ice Empress joined hands with the Fire King and managed to place a temporary seal on the Nine-Headed Flaming Lion.
↠ The seal is only strong enough to hold it for 16 days.
↠ They had evacuated the civilians and prepared a counter-offensive battle formation and plan for when the seal breaks. They have also posted a bounty for neighbouring planets to come to their aid. However, in two days, when the seal breaks, every last warrior would perish.
↠ Your mission is to prevent as many deaths as possible and kill the Nine-Headed Flaming Lion.
⟦The Nine-Headed Flaming Lion is a Level 5 Empyrean with the combat power of a Peak-Level Empyrean. Also, the longer it remains in these plains, the more powerful it gets. So it must be killed as quickly as possible.⟧
⟦Rewards⟧
↠ 20 Billion Tower Points
↠ 400 Billion Soul Essence
↠ Limit Breaker Key (Everybody)
↠ Innate Talent Awakening Pill
↠ Flame Core of the Nine-Headed Flaming Lion
