The Gods were excavating arduously for many days, weeks, and even several months! Bestellen had made them work like slaves since they beca Heroic Gods. All those compatible with Earth were forced to beco Heroic Gods of Mining.
But it was not because of a need for magic ores or sothing, it was for a very simple yet very important issue! It was a great task, a glorious task given to them by their Great God of Law, by the Supre One above all of Kritias, Bestellen, the glorious God that protected humanity with his benevolent nature from demons and beasts alike!
How could they ever not obey him? Because in fact, they couldn't! They really couldn't not obey him! They were not able to have free will regarding this, it was as if sothing within their very souls were blocking their thoughts from ever being regarding asking Bestellen to stop abusing of them.
It was impossible, hopeless! They were forced to dig this place against their will over and over again, tirelessly. They were treated worse than actual Undead from a Necromancer. They were used as re tools…
To think that humanity would fall into such a thing as becoming Heroic Gods to be turned into tools! How tragic…
This was why this Tower Dungeon was addressed as the Heroic God Factory, it rely mass produced them by forcing people inside to fight until they got ten jobs, they were not able to die so they could fight until they managed, even if ganging together over a monster, anything went.
They ultimately reached max level and were converted into heroic gods, their physical bodies were turned into light and dissipated, as their souls evolved into divine through a special formation within the dungeon tower, a powerful device made and designed by many gods and Bestellen himself within his Pantheon! It couldn't fail at all.
Bestellen was a sick God who didn't cared about the wellbeing of others, he barely cared about mortals because he always thought that it was pointless to get sad of their deaths, they would eventually be reincarnated and revive anyways, was there any point in mourning the flesh then?
This was a drastic approach, but Bestellen had to make his citizens more useful, the ideas the gods around him gave to him were the last push before he allowed this thing to happen, and now many Heroic Gods were surging one after another in front of his eyes, working in all kinds of things, he began to consider that sealing and taking away the divinities of his siblings wouldn't be so hard if there were so many new heroic gods working in maintaining the elents at his side!
Of course, he had not done this out of just curiosity or because he wanted to see a spectacle with these guys on it, it was because they would beco useful resources, mainly in the form of workers that had godly stamina and in soldiers to fill up his lacking and near-empty ranks!
And yes workers to do many things! One of them was digging! Digging like there was no tomorrow.
Thanks to their souls being evolved into divine souls, they acquired incredible resilience and speed, and even elental power to boot, moving dirt as cheap easy for them if they joined together.
Of course, Bestellen's plan was quite big, he wanted to find sothing in the deepest part of the world! And for that, he needed a gigantic amount of workhand, he began to ask for anyone with earth attribute magic affinity, even children of 8 years and above were allowed, as they underwent the horrible trials where they never died in the tower until reaching the required level, only to beco heroic gods of earth elent and join in mining this place.
Had Bestellen beco even worse than scum now? Quite possibly! But that wasn't all, they were digging for the reason ntioned beforehand… What did Bestellen wanted the most?
And why was he acting so mysteriously and secretly over it? Why didn't he wanted to show what he wanted? Why didn't he wanted to tell them exactly what he was looking for?
The only things he stated was that it was a giant orb of crystal in the center of the world, but what kind of crystal? What kind of thing was so important to make over 50 earth heroic gods work painstakingly to reach so deep? Even as heroic gods, they were not all-powerful, moving earth was possible, but moving such massive amounts, digging hundreds of kiloters deep… no, that was insane. It was insane! Completely nuts, even for heroic gods…
Yet Bestellen forced them to do so! He forced them to dig so deep they could find a glowing jewel.
And the worst part was that the mortals could not resist, they could not fight back no matter how hard they tried, this was because Bestellen dominated the elent of Law, the powerful Attribute of Law and also the Law of the world around an imnse range around him. With this power, he made anyone obey his direct requests and never actually doubt it nor voice their bad opinion regarding it.
It was a terrifying brainwashing power. Although it only worked in those that had already sworn utmost loyalty to him, including most citizens as they were raised to pray towards Bestellen and see him as the supre figure that did everything in the world for humanity to survive the deadly beasts and demons, right?
Due to this, they were unable to fight back even when their divine souls were exhausted, even when their bodies couldn't move anymore, and even when they forced themselves to move no matter how hard it was… but it was hopeless. Hopeless! They couldn't move, it was impossible… It was utterly impossible.
They continued to dig incessantly, as Bestellen continued to increase his army of Heroic Gods, until they finally found it, the jewel he desired, the enormous crystal that fueled the world of all its energy, and its core…
It was the World's Origin Core.
