I looked around while inspecting my surroundings. My entire party was leisurely exploring the ruins near me as well, and then…

"O…. a…"

"Huh? Where is this voice coming from?"

I continued looking around, walking across several corridors, until finally I heard the voice closer to me.

"In… d… r…"

"Where is it coming from?"

I kept looking, and suddenly, a big door showed up in front of me.

It was at the farther end of the ruins, completely covered by crystals.

The door was metallic, and aside from the crystals, it was completely fine and even clean.

This door… it had several engraved words on them.

Runes I couldn\'t really understand, and drawings.

In the door, it showed what seemed to be people, humans?

No, they were gods.

They looked similar to the statues we found at the beginning of the ruins.

I think I recognize Theia and Hyperion there. The woman with shiny eyes and the man with flames all over his body…

Oceanus is at the left too, holding a big trident. And then atop them all, there was a man holding a sand watch, and a long willow tree branch staff sitting over a throne, Cronos.

I meet him already yet it feels so unreal to find him in such old ruins. Back then, I guess I had kind of forgotten how strong they were, perhaps thanks to some of my Skills allowing me to keep myself calmer than usual.

"This looks so ancient, did the gods made this?" I wondered, lightly touching the door with my hand.

BBBBZZZZZ!

"Uwaaah!"

However, out of the blue, the door began glowing the moment I touched it!

The runes glowed with bright colors, beginning to spin around.

I felt as if my Mana was being drained constantly.

It was already draining millions of it!

The door continued draining my mana, I felt like I pull off at any moment, but something was telling me to keep infusing more.

Let\'s name it, my adventurer\'s instinct.

But… how much damn mana you need?!

FLAAAASH!

The door finally stopped absorbing enough Mana, as it suddenly glowed with a silver light. The runes finished spinning, unifying together.

The gods began moving around for some reason, moving images I had never seen before showed in front of my eyes.

The gods were shown to be sitting around a large pantheon, surrounding someone.

Something…

They pointed their index fingers at the creature, and then, with a blast of power, they sealed it, concealing it inside the depths of their ruins.

And then, left an enormous guardian protecting this… whatever it was.

A guardian resembling a giant golem made of metal, holding enormous blades and shields.

"W-What the heck…?"

CREEEAAAK!

And then, the door opened.

I heard a voice once more, although it was different this time.

Strangely automatized, like the system.

"Enough Divine Power has been detected. Welcome to the Nephilim\'s Cradle, Master."

Huh? It called me Master?

And what did it said about Divine Power?

I am fairly sure I only imbued Mana though? But lots of it, perhaps more than any person could ever have, even my parents.

Maybe if enough Mana is concentrated and used, it can pass as Divine Power?

Well, that\'s a bit crazy to think about…

CLASH!

The doors opened, suddenly the dark interior extended further, illuminated by beautiful lights as I saw countless yellow crystals growing around the place.

"Woow…"

Wait, these crystals…

Yellow!

They\'re life spirit stones!

Finally, I found them!

And there\'s tons of them in here for some reason.

I stepped forward without waiting for a second. Ignatius, Beelzebub, and Curse were at my side while Alice inspected the area atop my head. Naturia warded my back as well. Furoh was with everyone else, so he wasn\'t here.

"What the heck is this place?" Ignatius wondered.

"The Ancient Ruins of the Civilization of the Gods, is it?" Alice asked.

"Yes, but this feels oddly ominous…" Ignatius said.

"I can\'t believe Sylphy was able to get inside naturally…" Beelzebub said angrily. "This place is a sealed box, as we the Demon Lords called them. It is an area where the Gods kept sealed their Divine Treasures! We\'re going to hit it big now, Sylphy!"

"According to the memories of the Demon King I have, he had explored one of these areas before, but he could never enter for some reason." Curse said. "They only allow gods to enter, or those with their divine protections. Not only your mana, but also the divine protection you have from the gods might have allowed you to enter here."

"So that\'s it!" I said while feeling enlightened.

I continued walking around, as I used my sword to crush the crystals, storing tons of them inside my Dimensional Bag. I was hitting it big right now! Nothing could stop me!

CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!

CRAAASH!

A pile of Life Spirit Stones was right in front of me. Greedily, I stored it all once more inside my Dimensional Bag, emptying the entire place from them.

"Hehehe… Finally! With this, Saphaley\'s scar will be healed in no time!"

Now, I should just turn back.

However… I feel the necessity to explore further.

But maybe I should call Aquarina and everyone else before going in.

"Sylphy, what\'s that?"

Suddenly, Alice pointed at something over fifty meters away from where I was.

In the very center of this enormous hall, there was indeed something big.

I walked there slowly, making sure I wouldn\'t trip over anything.

And then, there it was.

Something encased in countless chains and with runes over its entire shell.

It was an egg!

"Why\'s there an egg here?"

I looked at the egg, it was completely white, with golden markings in one side, and then black markings in the other side.

Faintly, one side resembled light, it even had the painting of a feathered wing, and the second half represented darkness, with a bat-like wing.

When I used Analysis through my Heavenly Eyes, I was surprised by the information being shown…
