The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　[Magic Beast: God of Destruction]: "ヽ(｀⌒′メ)ノ!"

　……

　A moment later, Dark and the others arrived at one of the doors.

　There was no gap between the door and the wall; you couldn't detect the door's existence by touch alone.

　The door was marked with the numerical symbols of that era: [11-0=?].

　Without the previous lucid dream, Dark and the others wouldn't even be able to recognize these numerical symbols, let alone speak them... Yes, this is a voice portal.

　The door can only be opened by saying "11" in the language of that era.

　When Dark pronounced "11," crimson flames ignited on the outline of the door, and then the entire door burst into flames, eventually turning to ashes and revealing the passage behind it.

　Dark waved his hand: "Devimon... Dracobo, go scout ahead."

　"Doron!" "Doron Baruto" immediately obeyed and entered the passage.

　Little Devimon pursed its lips, and its claws gripping Dark's shoulder tightened unconsciously.

　After that, the group carefully entered the passage and proceeded cautiously.

　About five minutes later, they walked through the passage and came to the second room.

　If the first room is for verifying the identity of the person entering, then this second room... is probably for verifying the abilities of the person entering!

　Dark and his companions encountered three "living" "God Guardians" here!

　Two of these three "guardians" were the same size as the skeletons they encountered in the left hall, while the third was a whole size larger than those skeletons.

　"Is it because all three of them entered the same passage?"

　Dark pondered for a moment, then immediately ordered Ditto, which had transformed into Eevee, to use Sunny Day (Arrogance).

　The orb of light released by "Ditto" instantly dispelled the darkness.

　Dark attached the "Soul of Luna I" to his body, and it immediately evolved into "Luna".

　But Lily and Ollie were faster than him.

　Oli put on the "Aries Palace Armor" and sped towards the largest "Divine Guardian".

　Lily also pulled out an armor card, waved the colorful little magic wand she had obtained after transforming into an armored character, and excitedly pounced on it.

　Dark's lips twitched, he drew his holy sword, and charged toward the last "God Guardian".

　There is no suspense.

　Although the three "God Guardians" displayed a powerful force that the skeleton did not possess, they were still quickly killed.

　Next door, open!

　The accompanying "Magic Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" immediately frowned.

　Behind that door, divine power surged, extremely terrifying!

　"boom!"

　Flames suddenly erupted from the corpses of the three "Guardians of the Gods," burning them to ashes in an instant.

　Dak took a half step back and heard the sound of the mechanism turning.

　He then summoned the Sun Spirit, whose blazing firelight illuminated the wall that [Sunny Day (Arrogance)] had never touched, and a two-meter-thick boulder slowly rose, revealing the dark passage behind it.

　The divine power emanating from the depths of that passage was astonishingly strong.

　Dark frowned: "Is this really the space created by the sun god and the moon god?"

　While the layout of this space is extremely perilous for those who cannot control the power of the sun or moon, it is equally perilous for those who can!

　Putting aside the questions in the first room that required knowledge of the language and writing system of that era to answer, the "divine guardian" in this second room was not something an ordinary person could overcome.

　However, upon closer reflection, if those who enter here are true divine messengers or disciples, then the "divine guardians" might become very friendly.

　The arrangement of these two rooms is as if to confirm whether the entrant is an apostle of the "God of Blazing Flame and Rising Sun" and the "God of Frost and Eternal Moon".

　And if we continue to follow this logic...

　The next room will likely contain items left by the "God of Blazing Flame and Rising Sun" and the "God of Frost and Eternal Moon" to their apostles.

　"If that's the case, then it does make me look forward to it."

　Dark explained his thoughts one by one, and everyone thought it was possible. They couldn't help but speculate about what the items left behind by the "God of Blazing Flame and Rising Sun" and the "God of Frost and Eternal Moon" might be.

　"I can sense divine power surging there; it's terrifying," the Goddess of the Mind's Eye said first. "Perhaps what remains there is the remains of the God of Flame and Sun or the God of Ice and Eternal Moon."

　“That’s one possibility,” Aurora said seriously, “but I think it’s more likely to be an artifact, since it was left for the apostles.”

　Lily's eyes lit up, and she said, "If it's a remnant, could it be like the 'God of Wisdom' from the academy... Of course, a divine artifact would be great too."

　Dark smiled and said, "Anything is possible...it could even be some kind of resurrection opportunity."

　……

　Perhaps it was because Dark's guess about the function of this space was too reasonable, or perhaps it was because killing those three "God Guardians" was really too easy, the atmosphere among the group became relatively relaxed.

　Everyone chatted and laughed as they passed through the passage behind the stone gate and arrived at the third... and last room!

　What suddenly appeared before them was indeed a set of remains!

　But it wasn't the remains of the "God of Flame and Sun" and the "God of Ice and Eternal Moon," but rather...

　Dak suddenly looked up and saw a giant snake carcass that was even larger than the previous "oil snake"!

　The giant snake's head alone was as big as a house, and it was more than ten meters high when coiled on the ground. The entire snake was at least two hundred meters long.

　Its head was on the ground, its eyes were closed, and it was not breathing.

　But it emitted a faint light, dispelling the darkness of the third room.

　The third room was so large that even with such a giant snake inside, it didn't feel crowded at all.

　As soon as Dark and the others emerged from the passage, they abruptly stopped, their faces showing vigilance, immediately preparing to defend or attack—but nothing happened.

　One reason they weren't too nervous was probably that the giant snake's skin wasn't completely black.

　Although it may sound strange, it is indeed extremely important.

　Because whether it was the "snakes" encountered after entering the temple or the "snakes" seen in the dream, they were all black snakes!

　Speaking of which, the gods worshipped in this temple are clearly lions and wolves, but the snakes are the ones you encounter most often. Even the remains hidden in this mysterious space are the remains of a snake.

　Dak adjusted his breathing and carefully observed the remains of the giant snake.

　First of all, the divine power they sensed should indeed have originated from the remains of this giant serpent.

　Secondly, the giant snake has a red body, white belly, and blue stripes, and the overall color scheme is quite vibrant and very beautiful.

　Dak consciously looked at the snake's head, but did not find any protrusions that resembled "horns".

　Finally, he sensed the presence of both the "sun" and the "moon" on this giant serpent!

　……

　The group stood at the entrance of the passage for more than two minutes, and only after confirming that the giant snake showed no signs of "coming back to life" did they proceed with caution.

　The light emanating from the giant snake dispelled the darkness around it, but it did not illuminate the entire room.

　Dark transferred the consciousness of Eevee and Ditto, giving the new "Eevee" and "Ditto" sentience, and then used "Imitate" and "Transform" to release "Sunny Day (Pride)," illuminating every corner of the room one by one.

　After spending some time, he found a stone slab near the giant snake's tail.

　A passage of text was written on the stone slab in the script of that era.

　But written language is different from numbers, and Darke, relying on the memories left over from his dreams, was unable to translate it completely.

　Finally, the three of them gathered together and managed to decipher the meaning of the text.

　When the sun and moon shine together, the gates of the divine realm open wide...

　"This is how to open the door!" Lily exclaimed excitedly.

　Dark nodded and said, "That should be it. When the sun and moon appear at the same time, the gate to the divine realm will open... Does that mean the power of the sun elves and the ice moon elves will be unleashed simultaneously?"

　Aurora said, "Our ice moon elves are all asleep..."

　Dark laughed and said, "If that's just the literal meaning, it can be done without waking up the Ice Moon Elf. Anyway, let's see what we can find first; we can't have come all this way for nothing."

　Aurora nodded and said, "That's true. Now that we've found a way to open the door, there's no need to rush to leave. Perhaps once we go out, we won't be able to come back in."

　Lily immediately raised her hand and said, "Can we take that snake with us?"

　Dark paused for a moment, then said, "If possible..."

　But Lily sighed again, "If only the 'Fantasy Fairy Dragon' were here."

　Dark replied, "If we have the 'Fantasy Fairy Dragon,' we can store the remains of this giant serpent in the 'Fantasy Cube' and take it away."

　Lily nodded vigorously and said, "Now, we can only wait and see how big the door can be opened!"

　Dark: "Let's split up and explore first."

　Once everyone reached a consensus, they parted ways and explored using their own methods to illuminate the area.

　Although the room was large, it contained very few truly useful items.

　The room's four walls were almost entirely white, and the ceiling was decorated only with symbols of the sun and moon.

　The only thing that looked like a "array diagram" was the huge ring surrounding the giant snake's remains.

　The ring was engraved with extremely complex and mysterious runes, but looking at it... it had a strange sense of familiarity.

　Before finding the stone slab, Dark had his eye on the ring. Now, he walked straight over and summoned the "Magic Book" to record the entire pattern within the ring without missing a single detail.

　After recording everything, he suddenly realized something: "Yes, the patterns within these circles bear a strange resemblance to the murals I saw carved on the walls of the Moon Temple. Let me see, this pattern, viewed from this angle, looks exactly like farmers cheering for a bountiful harvest under the sun; this pattern resembles people singing and dancing around a campfire under the moonlight; and this pattern shows countless believers kneeling before a stone tablet inscribed with the symbol of the sun; and then this pattern..."

　"The remains of this giant serpent, after countless years in this divine realm, still possess such surging divine power, which is probably due to the effect of this circle of patterns."

　"It has a very similar function to the murals in the Temple of the Moon."

　"If we could transform the pattern within this ring into magical runes, we might be able to further refine 'Great Sin IV'."

　"There are just too many symbols for the sun and moon in this pattern... Could it be..."

　"Anyway, try it out when you get back, and you'll know."

　"But if it's as I suspect, does that mean this snake..."

　Dark frowned and pondered for a long time before finally closing the "Magic Book" and summoning a "Flight Spell" to fly towards the giant serpent.

　A moment later, he landed on the giant snake's head, squatted down, and placed his hand on the snake's head to feel it carefully.

　"Indeed, it possesses the divine power of both the sun and the moon!"

　"Moreover, unlike the statues of gods outside, the power of the sun god and the moon god within this giant serpent possesses a stronger flavor of 'arrogance' and 'ecstasy.'"

　"Never mind, let's try one tube first!"

　A hint of excitement flashed in Dark's eyes. He immediately took off his backpack and took out the "Magic Brain Dropper" and the "Mind Bottle". Then, just as he had tried to extract "Elysium" from the statue of the Moon Goddess, he attempted to extract "Pride" or "Elysium" from the serpent's remains.

　To his slight surprise, the power of the sun god and the power of the moon god within this giant snake were not mixed together.

　He made the distinction very easily, and singled out a whole drop of "arrogance"!

　This was the first time he had extracted "arrogance" from outside his own mind.

　Having already experienced extracting the "Moon Goddess Version of Elysium," he quickly discerned the quality of this drop of "Serpent Goddess Version of Pride."

　—Although the divine power remaining within this giant serpent was immense, the extracted "Pride" was no higher in quality than the "Lunar Version of Elysium".

　In other words, it's roughly the same ratio that three points of "Serpent God's Pride" equals one point of "Dark's Pride".

　But the divine power remaining within the molted remains of this giant serpent... is truly immense!

　However, after carefully examining a drop of "Arrogance," he couldn't help but frown.

　This "Serpent God version of arrogance" gave him a very bad feeling.

　Although the "Moon Goddess Version of Elysium" previously drawn from the Moon Goddess Statue was also out of control, it was actually a relatively mild type in nature.

　But within this drop of "Serpent God's Pride" lies an indescribable primal and ferocious power.
