...Meanwhile, as the kaijin and mortal warriors fought against Mammon...
'So I was right...that crater was just the tip of the iceberg...'
When Root Maiden made her way to the bottom of the fucked-up crater that was Mammon's source of power, she was hoping that the weird compact bowl of aether treasures that lined it was all there was to it. Unfortunately, she was wrong.
The bottom of the crater was not the true bottom of the crater, instead she found that the bottom actually extended past that and went further down into the underground like a fucked-up wine glass.
However, she wasn't able to sense what exactly this metaphorical stem was actually connected to.
She could tell that it went deep underground, but she wasn't able to tell if the stem was connected to an even greater trove of aether treasures, an untapped, or something else entirely.
If she wanted to know, she was going to have to go deeper.
'Stay strong...master...I'll find the truth soon...'
