With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods - Chapter 1190: What are you doing here?

Chapter 1190: What are you doing here?
“Are you sure that it was in this place?”
“Yes, my lord. All of the reports say that the mana fluctuations came from this place.”
“Then where is it?”
Looking at the empty land in front of them, the one that was the subordinate had an awkward look on his face.
After all, even if he asked him this question, it wasn’t as if he had anyone to ask for the answer.
So in the end, all he could do was try to find the place that the reports were on.
But during this time, there was a sound that came from the distance.
The moment that they heard this sound, this group immediately raised their weapons as if they were prepared for a fight. Though when they saw the source of this sound, it seemed like they relaxed a bit.
However, they still pointed their weapons at them as if they were prepared to fight at any moment.
After all, even if they weren’t going to fight right away, it didn’t mean that this group that appeared weren’t their enemies.
The leader of this group asked, “What are you doing here?”
The leader of the other group answered, “Same to you, what are you doing here?”
The hostility that was in their voices made it very clear that they were not friends with each other. At the same time, the way that they glared at each other was as if they were about to attack at any moment.
The only reason that they didn’t was because they had their reason for being here.
At the same time, they had things that they had to do that they couldn’t fail in.
As such, they had no choice but to act hostile against each other.
But it wasn’t just the two groups that were here.
It didn’t take long before another group arrived in this place and then there was another group that followed.
Eventually, there were six groups that were standing there.
As they stood there, all six of them glared at each other.
None of them dared to make a move as they warily looked at each other, but it was clear that they wanted to do something. All of them wanted to break the impasse that they found themselves in.
After all, they were here for one thing and one thing only.
“Since we’re all here, how about we work together?”
One of the group leaders suddenly proposed this to everyone’s surprise.
However, judging by the looks on their faces, it didn’t seem like they were against this. For now, they didn’t know what was waiting inside of the place that they were searching for, so there’s no telling what would come.
If they were to go in together, it would mean having more people that could fight when the time came.
Or it was better to say that there would be more scapegoats that they could use if things turned south.
Everyone narrowed their eyes and looked at each other after this was proposed.
After all, they were all thinking the same thing.
They all wanted to use each other in this matter as scapegoats and minimize the risk to themselves.
Finally, it seemed like they came to an agreement.
Though they agreed to work together, there wasn’t a single person here that was actually sincere in working together. That was because in the first place, the things that they obtained just couldn’t be shared with each other.
Six groups and six factions in this Kalos Empire.
The ones that had been sent here were representatives of the six factions of the Kalos Empire. They had been sent here because they wanted to find something that would turn the tide of the civil war.
Currently, everyone was huddled in their own land, too afraid to do anything.
But if they were able to find a powerful weapon from this place, then they would be able to change this impasse.
And to do that, they would use each other to find this thing.
Though the first thing that they had to do was still find the place that they were looking for.
Without entering that place, they wouldn’t even be able to find a single thing.
“Let’s share information.”
This was the consensus that they came to after a long silence.
Everyone had been thinking about what the best move right now was, but they agreed in the end that it was best if they shared this information since it would give them a better idea of what they were looking for.
But it turned out that they had the exact same information.
The location of the mana being released was the place that they were standing, only it didn’t seem like there was anything special about this place. After all, there wasn’t a single trace of mana in the air right now.
“Wait, look at this.” When someone said this, everyone immediately looked at them.
This was one of the leaders of the six groups, specifically the representative from the second prince’s group.
Once he had everyone’s attention, he pointed at the different reports and said, “It says that at different times, there was mana that was released from the ground. The one thing in common is that the mana always came from out of the ground.”
When he said this, everyone looked at the ground that was beneath them.
Then without a single word, all of them started pulling out tools that they used on that ground. They all started digging without a single word being said, almost as if they were possessed by something.
However, it seemed that this was the right decision.
After digging for a bit, they could feel the mana that was being released.
It had been stuck under a thick layer of dirt which had stopped it from leaking out.
However, they could tell that it had been built up for a while with how dense it was.
At the same time, they knew that there had to be something down here that was making the mana burst out like in the reports that they received.
So that should mean that they were in the right place.
But none of that mattered.
They continued digging deeper into the ground even though they could see that there were some magic crystals that formed in the dirt. This was all because of the dense mana that had gathered here, which had formed these crystals.
Only right now for them, these crystals were nothing more than a pittance.
The thing that mattered the most was what was under the ground, releasing all of this mana.
If they could find the source, there was no doubt that it would be something special.
After digging for a while, they finally found the source.
Though when they found it, it certainly wasn’t what they had been expecting to find since this place was just a hole. However, there was no ignoring the mana that was leaking out from this hole which showed that there was something capable of releasing this mana inside.
As for what that thing was, they had no idea.
They just knew that this was something that they wanted for themselves.
Once the hole had been revealed, everyone looked at each other as if they were wary of each other. They seemed like they were afraid that someone would make a move now that the entrance had been revealed.
However, they came to a silent agreement in the end.
“We’ll go forward together.”
It was that they recognized that there was no telling what was in this hole, so there was no telling what danger was waiting for them. Instead of going in alone, it was best if they went together to make sure that there would be shields if there was anything dangerous here.
After slowly heading down this cave for a bit, they were surprised to find that this place opened up completely.
At the same time, they were surprised to find that there was an entire giant space that was down here.
It was hard for them to see at first, but then they were able to see everything since there was some kind of light that appeared around them.
Though they were still surprised because this was a kind of place that they hadn’t seen before.
“Cultivation ruins?”
Once someone said this, the expressions on the faces of everyone else changed.
They all recognized what this meant and they seemed to agree with this based on the expressions on their faces. They knew that this place had to be something related to the cultivation continent or else it wouldn’t look like this.
While they didn’t know where this place came from, they could feel the mana that was coming from it.
They knew that it wasn’t just one or two things that were here, there were many different things that could be considered magic items that could be found here.
But before anything else, it was about figuring out how to get these things.
After all, they had no idea what was in this place.
“Everyone, as you can see, there’s plenty to share in this place. I suggest that we put aside our hostilities for now and explore this place together. Once we find the special items, then we can discuss how to distribute them.”
This idea was spread among them again and it didn’t take long for them to agree to it.
But behind all of those friendly smiles, there were daggers that were waiting to stab each other in the back.
