Starting from primitive world, building the strongest divine kingdom

"Trouble approaches once again. Prepare for battle!" Enzo shouted, readying himself alongside Matilda .

They confronted the swift-moving specters whose attacks seemed capable of piercing through their physical forms, inflicting harm upon their very souls.

Enzo sensed a chilling presence invading his soul, prompting him to swiftly employ the Soul Fortress for defense while gathering elemental energy to counterattack the dark specters.

Matilda, too, wielded her icy divine arts in an attempt to freeze the specters, but the results were less than ideal.

"These specters are formidable foes. We must devise a strategy." Enzo remarked as he fended off the spectral assaults.

Matilda, surveying the items in the chamber, suddenly had a bright idea. "Enzo, look at those Scrolls. Perhaps they hold the key to vanquishing these specters."

Enzo turned his gaze to the Scrolls, recognizing the opportunity they presented, yet currently entangled by the specters, he could not approach them.

"I shall divert their attention while you retrieve the Scrolls." Enzo instructed Matilda.

Matilda hesitated slightly. "But what about you?"

"Fear not, I have a plan. Hurry, go!" Enzo declared, intensifying the energy output of his Soul Fortress and charging towards the group of specters, drawing the focus of most.

Matilda gritted her teeth and ran towards Scroll.

Noticing Matilda\'s intentions, some specters broke off to pursue her. Witnessing this, Enzo swiftly interposed himself in front of Matilda, unleashing a burst of elemental energy from his hands to momentarily repel the advancing specters.

Seizing the opportunity, Matilda made her way to the Scrolls, swiftly picking one up. Upon unfurling it, she found strange symbols, intricate patterns, and inscrutable words adorning its surface. "Enzo, how do we use this?" Matilda urgently cried out.

Dodging the spectral attacks, Enzo replied, "Look for symbols resembling those that repel specters. Try following the instructions provided."

Carefully examining the Scroll, Matilda identified a symbol depicting a figure wielding a radiant object, causing the surrounding specters to recoil. Scanning the chamber\'s perimeter, she noticed a statue holding an object resembling a staff, its tip adorned with a gem emitting a faint glow.

Matilda darted over and seized the wand, brandishing it towards the specters. Miraculously, with a wave of the wand, a beam of light shot forth, causing the specters to recoil in sheer terror.

"Enzo, hasten!" Matilda called out.

Enzo broke free from the remaining specters and joined Matilda\'s side. The two of them proceeded deeper into the chamber, wielding the wand as the specters, bathed in the radiance, dared not approach.

Upon reaching the statue, Enzo gazed at the gleaming silver metal embedded in the eyes of the sculpture, cautiously reaching out to retrieve it. The moment his hand made contact with the metal, the entire chamber began to tremble violently.

"Bad news, we may have triggered some mechanism!" Enzo exclaimed.

Fissures began to form on the ground, expelling black smoke, within which a more formidable beast seemed to materialize.

"We must swiftly depart from this place!" Matilda anxiously urged.

Enzo held the metal and, together with Matilda, sprinted towards the stone door. Yet, as the chamber convulsed, the door began to slowly shut, on the verge of sealing shut.

Enzo pulled Matilda and, at the very instant before the stone door could close, they dashed out. Just as they emerged, the door behind them thundered shut, and the tremors ceased.

"That was close!" Matilda patted her chest.

"Yes, indeed, but at least we have found the metal. Let us vacate this valley first." Enzo suggested.

The two proceeded towards the outskirts of the valley. However, not long into their journey, they heard a resounding roar echoing from beyond the valley.

"What fresh peril is this?" Matilda asked, her nerves taut.

Enzo furrowed his brow. "It sounds like some colossal creature. Let us exercise caution."

As they emerged from the valley, they beheld a massive three-headed monster looming outside, each head gaping with monstrous maws, bellowing furiously at them.

"What manner of beast is this? How can it be so immense?" Matilda exclaimed in alarm.

Enzo gazed upon the three-headed monster, sensing the formidable aura emanating from it, signaling an impending arduous battle.

"Fear not, let us charge together!" Enzo proclaimed, channeling elemental energy as he rushed towards the three-headed beast. Matilda, too, unleashed her icy divine arts, joining Enzo in the assault against the monster.

The beast unleashed flames, frost, and venom from its three heads, aiming towards Enzo and Matilda. Evading the attacks, Enzo pulled Matilda out of harm\'s way, leaped into the air, and delivered a powerful punch towards the central head of the monster. The head staggered momentarily but quickly regained composure, lunging towards Enzo.

Seizing the opportunity, Matilda invoked her most potent icy divine arts, freezing the head on the monster\'s left. As the head on the right spewed venom, Matilda swiftly dodged the toxic stream.

Enzo launched another offensive, maneuvering behind the monster to target its leg joints with elemental energy, seeking to disrupt its balance.

The monster, writhing in pain, thrashed its body forcefully, propelling both Enzo and Matilda away.

"This creature is formidable beyond measure. We must alter our tactics." Enzo declared.

Observing the monster, Matilda pondered for a moment before suggesting, "Enzo, let us focus our assault on one of its heads, vanquishing it to diminish its strength."

Enzo nodded in agreement, "Very well, let us target the central head!"

Once more, they charged towards the three-headed monster, concentrating all their might on the central head. After a fierce battle, they successfully wounded the central head, visibly weakening the monster.

"Press on!" Enzo urged.

Seizing the momentum, they continued to assail the central head, and with their combined efforts, they finally defeated it, prompting a mournful cry from the monster as the remaining two heads grew more frenzied.

"It is enraged, be cautious!" Matilda warned.

Three-headed monster relentlessly attacked Enzo and Matilda with its remaining two heads, forcing them to fight back while seeking the monster\'s vulnerability. Suddenly, Enzo noticed a brief discoordination between the monster\'s right and left heads during the attacks, sparking an idea in his mind.

"Matilda, when I divert its attention, seize the opportunity to strike the vulnerable spot on the neck of its right head!" Enzo shouted.

Matilda nodded in agreement as Enzo charged towards the monster, deliberately exposing himself to draw its attacks. The monster fell for the trick and lunged towards Enzo.

Seeing her chance, Matilda unleashed a powerful beam of icy light towards the neck of the monster\'s right head, hitting its weakness with precision.

The right head of the monster suffered a severe blow, slowing down its movements. Seizing the moment, Enzo gathered elemental energy once more and delivered the final blow to the monster\'s right head, successfully defeating it.

Now, only the left head of the three-headed monster remained, staggering on the brink of defeat.

"One last strike!" Enzo and Matilda dashed towards the monster, unleashing their most powerful attacks until the three-headed monster was vanquished once and for all.

"Phew, it\'s finally over." Enzo and Matilda collapsed from exhaustion.

After resting for a while, Enzo looked at the silvery metal object in his hand and said, "Let\'s head back to the spaceship and leave Gamma Star. This mission yielded significant gains. We should study these clues more closely when we return."

Matilda nodded, and the two headed towards the direction of their spaceship.

However, upon reaching the docking point, they found their spaceship surrounded by a group of mysterious figures clad in black cloaks, their faces obscured, standing ominously around the spacecraft as if awaiting something.

"Who are these people? Are they here for us?" Matilda asked nervously.

Enzo furrowed his brow and replied, "It seems trouble has found us once again. Whoever they are, we can\'t let them take away our hard-earned rewards."

Enzo and Matilda locked eyes, each seeing determination reflected back at them. Standing up slowly, despite their exhaustion from the recent battle with the three-headed monster, they mustered their strength to face the new threat.

"Who are you? And why are you surrounding our spacecraft?" Enzo bellowed, his voice echoing through the silent docking point.

The figures cloaked in black did not immediately respond, standing there quietly like a group of silent specters. After a moment, one of the taller individuals took a few steps forward, and a deep voice rumbled from beneath the cloak, "Hand over the shimmering silver metal in your possession, and perhaps we will spare your lives."

"Hmph, want the metal? It\'s not going to be that easy! Come and get it if you dare!" Matilda retorted fearlessly, already channeling the icy energy of her divine arts in her hand, ready to unleash an attack at any provocation.

Enzo silently tapped into the elemental energy within him, intensely focused on the mysterious figures, trying to discern any vulnerabilities in their actions.

Suddenly, the enigmatic figures sprang into motion simultaneously, moving like lightning towards Enzo and Matilda. Enzo roared and met them head-on, his figure flashing as he appeared in front of one of the figures in an instant, delivering a powerful punch accompanied by a roaring gust of wind.

Caught off guard by Enzo\'s incredible speed, the figure was unable to evade the blow and was struck solidly, flying backward and crashing into several companions before coming to a stop.

Matilda wasted no time, seizing the opportunity to unleash her icy divine arts, sending frigid beams of light towards the oncoming figures. Some of the figures were hit by the beams, instantly freezing their bodies and slowing their movements.

However, these mysterious figures seemed to possess a peculiar heat emanating from their bodies. Before long, the ice coating on them began to melt, and they continued their advance towards Enzo and Matilda.
