Kyoya was feeling distracted by this darkness around him, but his steps never halted. Even if his vision became completely black and no light could be seen around him,. Kyoya continued to go below and finally found himself in a place that was like a factory.

It was underground, but Kyoya didn't feel like being below the earth, but on a completely different floor. It was just that deep and wide place with lanterns scattered across the ceiling.

This whole place looked like an underground town for now, but it was yet again silent.

Kyoya's eyes could spot some people going around with similar robes to the old man from before. No skin could be seen and their stances were cautious and respectful. They immediately saluted to Venes who was naturally next to the husband.

"This place used to host a lot of illegal activities, Mr. Kyoya."

"For example?"

"A lot of death battles happened here, for example."

Venes pointed at the building that reminded the husband of the arena. It was a pretty high arena that could hold more than fifty thousand people! It was a place where one either died or survived hell.

The white-haired man laughed as he described what exactly happened here.

"We have an accumulation of various energies in one place and its respective holders living so close to each other. Did you think that all of them coexisted in peace? Their energies were what was at peace, but they all fought and challenged each other in various activities just to see whose energy was stronger. The arena was one of the softer activities."

"How is this possible?"

"Here. This place was where the families tested their elements on people. Every victim faced all elements one by one at the beginning. If someone died at this stage, then I think it's fine to call such a person a lucky bastard. Because the next stage was where families began to mix the elements and have all victims withstand those."

This talk was already disturbing and Kyoya couldn't process a lot of this. He questioned himself what was the point of all these activities? Of course, even in his homeworld, there was history where people enjoyed the arena.

In the modern world, people fought too, but not to the death.

But this was just cruelty to the extreme.

Venes glanced at Kyoya, "It sounds pointless?"

"It does."

"But these people enjoyed them, so was it really pointless? They had their fun. Hah, don't look at me like that. I can also understand you. Though you also have to understand that all those battles and experiments also led the families to get stronger."

Venes stopped, his hand going up.

"You never should stop advancing! The people who won all their death battles become strong and independent. They helped the families become stronger and got their own seat in this cruel world. Those who survived were the same and allowed the families to produce the better medicines without relying on stronger floors. Their bodies also exposed the weakness of each element."

"..."

"We are living in such a world."

The introduction to the new floor was done with this sentence. Both men stood in silence and various thoughts passed through their minds, each unique to their own. The silence was stopped by Venes who told Kyoya that he can call his friends now.

It was indeed like that, so Kyoya used his powers to call everyone.

[Kyoya(A weirdo husbando): It's fine to come here.]

During this, Kyoya was deeply analyzed by Venes who wanted to see through the husband. It was because Kyoya just stood in silence and didn't seem to use any item or skill to call his friends yet everyone began slowly going down here.

It was a mystery and Venes was intrigued a little by Kyoya's means.

After Kyoya became surrounded by his party, everyone turned their eyes to Venes.

"I have appropriate people on every element except for this death and fire one. I would like you to just share your energies with this place and let us reach the other side."

"The other side holds that thing, right?"

"Right."

Everyone was genuinely curious what lied on the other side. What could make this strong man just come down here and play around? This question will be answered after Xiaoxiao and Noe do their work.

That was why both ladies stepped forward and asked for the directions.

And while Xiaoxiao had Akaro with herself, Noe had no one so Kyoya tagged along as the leader.

"Follow me."

-

"What do you think about it?"

"It's… really rich in natural energy."

"Indeed. If we reach the other side, this orb will be no longer needed and we will be able to share this between each other. As I told you before, you guys will get fair share."

Xiaoxiao listened to Venes with big eyes.

Her eyes couldn't properly reflect this orb as it was too big, but the energy here was even bigger. This would allow Xiaoxiao to contribute to Kyoya's party way more and her strength might even break through several floors.

Would it be so nice?

Of course there was no way for Xiaoxiao to get the whole piece, but even a little was good enough.

She decided to add her energy immediately to this orb and begin the work which was fueling this orb with even more flame power!

By fueling this, Xiaoxiao would put this orb into a move and her flame energy was one of the richest thanks to the Akaro and Xiaoxiao's status in Goddess Fiana's believer rank.

Noe's case was a little different and Kyoya was also surprised that Venes didn't choose Xaya instead. After all, Xaya was a stronger and more unique user of death energy, but there was a chance he just couldn't see through Xaya.

Nonetheless, it was Noe's chance and Kyoya supported her wholeheartedly.

She faced the black orb and began to work on it, her eyes ready to snatch that energy for herself!
