Nine months later, Divine Energy fluctuated from underground as if an eruption happened underground.
Right on the surface was a mountain filled with magma. However, there was a tunnel leading deep underground.
This was where Alex entered deep inside, trying to reach the planet's core as fast as possible. This tunnel was far longer than the one he met in the mission with Aria, where he found the tallest mountain.
The temperature became higher the deeper he got.
According to the ten God Beasts, he could strengthen his power even more. This was the process that the former Fire God had undergone during his ascension, allowing him to reach the peak.
