Heaven Idea
But if you are worshiping Makhleb or Yred or Kiku or whatever, you are a bad guy who is beating bad guys and that feels not-that-OK.
So we totally need Heavens. Coming instead of or along with Hell, Heaven gives you a different challenge.
First of all, in Heaven you are going upstairs, not downstairs.
Second, have you ever dreamed about being a real Godslayer? The Heaven presents 4 branches of 4 different gods (not Lugonu, not Jiyva), chosen randomly and biased towards good ones like TSO and Zin.
Just think about a sweet revenge for that _j - a pair of boots {god gift}. In Valhalla, you can fight your way through Giant Giants and Legendary Warriors to face Okawaru himself and loot all the shinies he could gift you, but didn't. Okawaru should be high-armoured powerful God, who is capable of using all armour slots.
Or maybe you hate Sif Muna for books of Cantrips and Party Tricks? Then welcome to the Samsara, where casters of all sorts and flavours are ready to pin you with their crystal spears. The final boss is Sif Muna, the only unique capable of casting ANY spell at very high power. Can you defeat her and learn all of her knowledge?
Also there could be dead wastelands of Yredelemnul, smiting and purging everything with holy flames angels of The Shining one, all-knowing and all-seeing creatures in bound land of Ashenzary, slow-but-deadly priests of Cheibriados, raging berserkers of Trog, and much more.
Every branch contains a distinct rune, say steel rune of Okawaru and bloody rune of Makhleb.
Slaying a god could be very fun, you can destroy Jiyva, but you cant destroy anyone else.
As a bonus, Lugonu can be found in the infinite vast land of Abyss, if you slay him, the Abyss is destroyed but corrupt the main dungeon somewhat.
