Pov Sophia’s:
It was already night, I was awake in the city square surrounded by water roads and stone roads that converge in multiple directions in the city’s central square.
I was sitting alone for a few hours at the base of the tree, now that I have become a Divine Servant I can feel how much of Zenos’ power hovers throughout the city and how much Faith the people of the Dungeon have for him in their Auras.
I pull out my sword made of bones and Aurora’s Aura can still be felt, she died during the battle on the planet which later became Zenos’ Divine Weapon.
I miss her, it comforts me to know that I carry a part of her with me, when she died most of her power was absorbed by me, but even that didn’t make me reach out to others.
But this is just intrusive thinking, I’ve been trying to divert my mind from the truth for months, I’m weak and I’ve been left behind.
Zenos’ wives run after him to be by his side, his children are geniuses in their respective fields of expertise, his Familiars are as monstrous as he is, his sisters are living legends known throughout the Universe, his two Saints can stand strong alone or simply completely depend on his power to become strong and now he has Divine Heralds that are no weaker than his Familiars.
As I sat there I grabbed the bottle of Saliva of Insanity that Anton threw at me, this is the strongest drink in the entire Dungeon.
"I thought his wife forbade the, I don’t like drinking that stuff." (I)
"Shut up and drink, maybe it will make you stop this drama." (Anton)
"Is it so obvious?" (I)
"Are you kidding? It looks like you’re walking around with a rain cloud floating above your head, especially since your Gryphon died in battle." (Anton)
"..." (I)
Sigh
"I don’t know what to do, I swore to be Zenos’ bodyguard, it was only because of him that I got to where I am, but now I feel so... weak..." (I)
"Half the people of this Dungeon were trained by you, your power is worthy to fight alongside the sons of Zenos and you still think you’re weak? Then what am I!?" (Anton)
"Stop being depressed, you are the boy’s Divine Servant, show a little pride, do you think he cares about these things..." (Anton)
"The problem isn’t him, it’s me... I want to be by his side on the battlefield, but at the same time I don’t want to depend solely on his power, a power that I haven’t conquered and maybe I won’t..." (I)
"Shut up, if that’s your concern then go train, show that you can go further, show that you are worthy of everything you have received and more." (Anton)
"Easier said than done... I don’t know where to start..." (I)
"One thing I can guarantee, you won’t find anything sitting around complaining... if you need a start, then summon a new Familiar, it would at least be a start." (Anton)
"..." (I)

Pov Zenos:
I was outside the Dungeon looking at the stars that the Dimensional Dragon leaves behind on our journey.
"So it’s still going to take some time?" (I)
"(Yes, master can rest assured, it won’t take more than 3 days, the next teleportation point is in 2 hours.)" (Okan)
"I’m counting on you, Okan." (I)
The Dimensional Dragon is an individual who talks little, but is very attentive and always responds to everything, the only thing I notice is that he likes these normal trips and is uncomfortable teleporting, unfortunately I have to end this soon and I will get the shortest path.
"You idiot, I was looking for you." (Adella)
"Need something?" (I)
"Yes, take care of it." (Adella) 𝚗ovp𝚞b.𝚌om
She throws a crystal sphere into my hands, as soon as I touch it it becomes a crystal cube as if squeezing something that tried to come out, then a massive pressure fell on me causing the ground around me to crack for hundreds of meters as I sank.
Before I knew it, I felt several Auras as powerful as mine and some more powerful than mine, I also felt angry presences with a lot of murderous intent, when I looked at Adella I saw her smiling at me in a provocative way as if mocking me.
"No need to thank me, just keep this within your pool of blood and don’t try anything before achieving Godhood." (Adella)
"What is this... thing...?" (I)
"The Soul of several Gods, Demigods and Divine Beasts associated with Baldr, Oros was given to master Selene, but you can have the rest." (Adella)
"Ah... I almost forgot to say, but they still have their Essences and Divinity, so I really don’t advise messing with them until you achieve Divinity for yourself." (Adella)
It took me several seconds adjusting my Aura, Authority and Essences until I managed to no longer be affected by the crystal, luckily it seems that the seal almost completely contains them or I would have been crushed against the ground by their combined presence.
"Why did you give me this!?" (I)
"Because you can steal their Essences and Deities later, you can also force a Divine Rebirth for them, it would be even better to get some Subordinate Gods." (Adella)
"About what..." (I)
"Talking about it now would be pointless, you will find out when you become a God." (Adella)
With that she flew away disappearing among the stars and leaving what would be considered prisoners in my hands, but as they are allies of the God of Light, I will leave that aside and keep this thing where she suggested.

I was on the top floor of the Dungeon where the Crystal Palace is, but I was in my Dragon firm swimming among the stars outside together with Xagar.
"I already said, the power of a Dragon cannot be controlled as it could with its body, the power of Dragons is more wild and crude." (I)
"Let it flow and try to direct with your instincts in a natural way, precise control will come naturally as time passes like a baby learning to walk." (I)
"His body is also in a strange position and his movements seem like that of a Golem." (I)
"Easier said than done, this body is completely different and my senses... damn!" (Xagar)
Cough Cough
As he tried to fly and control his new power, some veins exploded on his neck, forehead and back.
His Aura is a mess and he’s clearly the one lagging behind in training, Magnus wasn’t able to teach him due to him recovering from the Soul damage he suffered in the last battle and it’s up to me to teach him.
Kiara, being an Insect Empress whose race is literally made up of highly talented and genius individuals, was able to get used to her body and powers in a matter of 1 day, being the fastest.
Fiona had no problem with her body, but she is having a problem with the difference in her energy, being a White Elf she was used to using Mana and has knowledge about the use of Spiritual Energy, the only one she has little experience in using is the Ki which will be his only specialty this time.
Layla and Sakura are training them personally, but Nix refused to leave my Father’s side and it was up to me to take care of him.
"(His problems aren’t that serious... I might have to train his energy first.)" (I)
"Return to your humanoid form, perhaps it would be best to focus on one problem at a time." (I)
"What will we do now?" (Xagar)
"(At least he’s willing to train.)" (I)
"Let’s fight, perhaps the euphoria of combat is better suited to awaken his instincts since he is a warrior." (I)
"(His power is not below mine, so I don’t need to take it easy, the pressure and danger should help him.)" (I)
With that I spent the next few hours in combat against him while explaining how to manipulate Spiritual Energy and how to create Spiritual Runes during combat.
He has been studying Spiritual Runes, but the difference between study and practice is big, I have never needed to train anyone with something so basic since I was a World Tree.

Pov Zenos:
Today I was called because we were close to our destination, I went outside the Dungeon and followed as we passed through a portal that looks like a rift in the middle of space.
As soon as we arrived at the Star System where Tarzor is located, I immediately noticed the strangeness of this whole place, it doesn’t even seem to be the same universe, the energies that circulate here are not overlapping the natural energies.
I also saw a very large group of creatures flying towards us, all deformed and monstrous, but there was someone leading this attack and their Divine presence hit me even though they were so far away.
"We are under attack!!!" (I)
As soon as we arrive we are attacked, I can’t take this shitty luck anymore, but I have nothing to do other than be prepared for the attack.
My Familiars and several people from the Dungeon begin to appear two Fairy and Spirit Gates that share my shadow.
