(POV-Haltina)
I learned their true identity as guild master Rick-san. Their backgrounds are no joke. Or rather, they themselves are. He said that they are even stronger than the status recorded about the saviors of our world. Since I was hired as a tour guide, they let me know those information.
"They are extremely reasonable people as long as you don't harm them. Nonetheless, they still wield power capable of wiping the whole country alone in one shot. I can only entrust this quest to you since they seems took a liking of your personality."(Rick)
"… I understand. I owe them a debt after all."(Haltina)
I reunite with them and guide them around.
"You seems worrying about something?"(Shin)
"No, I just remember my mother."(Haltina)
I told him about the orphanage and the kids as we walk.
"The truth is… I felt truly powerless."(Haltina)
I decided to be an adventurer since I have no talent as a merchant. I even tried to be a craftsman but it has no results. Still, all my efforts to get stronger is rendered fruitless.
"If it is about getting the strength you desire, we could help you. But you need a firm will to acquire it. After all, power must not be given to those that don't have the vessel to house it."(Shin)
For some reason, his hand that patting my head feels so comforting and warm.
"I believe you have that vessel too. So be assured. Your determination is true, you will be fine."(Shin)
He clumsily and awkwardly said those words. Nevertheless, his words touched my heart.
"Thanks, Shin-san."(Haltina)

(POV-Shin)
"This dungeon is a trial that challenges your physical strength and power to stand above all life. To understand the existence that held no life requires one to comprehend the existence that holds one."(Takeru)
"I can see that. I mean, the monsters here are absurdly stronger than the ones in the dungeon you created."(Shin)
Even Athena who is fighting with everyone is grumbling in annoyance.
"You are complaining, we are already in seventy eight floor though!!"(Haltina)
After two hours we reached this floor fast. She already gotten stronger after my devilish training with everyone. After three hours…
"Haha!! We did it!!"(Yuni)
"Fufu!! That bastard one hundred floor boss is dead at last!"(Shuri)
Everyone have glazed crazed eyes.
"… I prepared a meal. Let's eat first."(Shin)
"How come you didn't become insane?"(Haltina)
"What are you saying? Onii-chan is the craziest of us all. Something of this level won't be enough to make him insane."(Shira)
"Even you are still sane."(Haltina)
"After all, this trial can only be cleared mostly by people that experienced the cruelty of the world and still never stop on giving up on living. You are dead but still persisting on living."(Takeru)
Afterwards, we get inside and looked around.
-[Creation Magic] Skill Acquired-
"This is…"(Shin)
"As expected, I have no talent on crafting nor in creation."(Takeru)
[So are we.](All)
They could use some of its power.
"I could use all of it in its entirety."(Shin)
"… Might be because of that?"(Shira)
She said the Verethragna is and all-rounder genius and Adam is father of all. On top of that, I am the Prince of Hope. Therefore, my body that reconfigured to their alikeness and my soul that capable of holding all potential mankind have lets me use all of Creation Magic regardless of aptitude restrictions it have.
"Even us are contains restrictions despite being divine."(Athena)
"Perhaps because you are born as a race that hold divinity. The source of faith -that is mortals- must be the reason. Or the other theory is…"(Shira)
She reluctantly said be all of us made her proceed.
"All sentient beings in the creation, mortal or immortal, their base of their foundation is humans."(Shira)
All of us had our eyes wide open in shock.
