Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out? - Chapter 1988: Assimilating A Dungeon Core

Chapter 1988: Assimilating A Dungeon Core

—–

The dungeon had grown noticeably weaker while recovering, this was the perfect moment.

“The Dungeon’s rather weak now that it is recovering,” Alice said, smiling as she began to warm to my wild idea. “This is our chance.”

My special divine eyes easily traced the flow of Mana through the dungeon. With that guidance, we took an entirely different route and followed the path where I sensed the densest concentration of Mana.

“I still think this is a bit too much…” Furoh sighed. “But well, maybe that’s exactly what we need—crazy ideas.”

“Hmm, I’ve been thinking about it,” Yggdra said. “I could help with the plan you have in mind, Sylphy.”

“You can? Alright!” I nodded eagerly. “Hmm, I think it’s over here.”

We reached a wide, empty area at the end of a hidden path I had mostly ignored because it contained literally nothing. This dead end actually concealed the secret chamber.

The walls were coated in thick ice, but beneath lay bricks of an incredibly hard, blue-colored stone infused with dimensional properties—near-indestructible.

Ignatius melted away the ice. As I stepped forward, I summoned Armageddon to my side along with Nephilim.

Then I wielded Scarlet and Sapphire.

The moment I gripped them, an immense, explosive divine power surged through me. I felt twice—no, three times? Four? Perhaps five times stronger in terms of divinity alone.

Wow. They weren’t just separate goddesses; by wielding them, they literally fused all their power with mine, elevating me even further.

“Alright, let’s do it!”

I swung Scarlet with every ounce of strength I had. At the same instant, Armageddon and Nephilim attacked with everything they possessed.

I summoned and compressed my Yggdragon Auras, embodying them around my body and transforming into the ultimate Dragonoid form I had once used against my brother.

With all this stacked power and our combined assault, we unleashed a triple strike!

CRAAAASH!

RUMBLE!

A crack instantly appeared across the wall, followed by fragments of the mysterious blue stone I had never examined closely before. I told Glutton to devour any piece that fell so I could later use it as material and study its properties.

“Keep it up!” I shouted.

CRASH!

CLASH!

CLASH!

CLASH!

CRASH!

CLASH!

CLASH!

CLASH!

CRASH!

RUMBLE!

Each combined blow spread more and more cracks until finally—

BOOOMMM!!!

A massive explosion of spatial energies and void erupted, hurling us all backward.

“Ugh… did it work?”

I slowly stood, realizing there was now a huge hole in the wall.

It had taken about twenty minutes, but we had done it!

“We did it!” Nephilim cheered.

“It worked, huh?” Armageddon grinned. “Heh, now things are about to get fun! I’ll help too, Sylphy!”

Glutton licked up every fragment and swallowed the tiny blue stones, which shimmered like starlight when broken.

I picked one piece. It was absurdly heavy.

“Ugh?!”

A fragment no larger than a cherry weighed at least ten tons. What the hell?

“This is an impossibly heavy material! How is this even possible?”

I analyzed it with my eyes and the system. This is what appeared:

—–

[Dimension Stone Fragment (? Grade)]

A small fragment of a Dimension Stone, forged from compressed Dimensional Magic and Divine Power alongside Cosmic Dust through Divine Alchemy Arts. Only the highest divine beings can create it. Seemingly indestructible, it can still be broken with divine and space-attribute attacks, though results vary widely.

It shimmers like starlight when shattered and exudes rich cosmic-type divine energy. A rare and extraordinarily valuable divine material that only gods can properly process. Its true grade cannot be assessed.

“Wow, and you’re telling me this kind of rock exists in EVERY dungeon?!” Ignatius asked.

“We might’ve just hit the jackpot,” I said with an evil grin. “This is perfect divine material for your future evolutions! Heheh, I bet that bastard never imagined a mortal capable of breaking and synthesizing his precious blue stones would ever appear. Haha.”

“Indeed! We’re now playing the real game, Sylph!” Armageddon laughed. “I can see it from here—the Dungeon Core is right there! Hurry. Dimensional Stone regenerates over time.”

“Yes,” I nodded.

We stepped into the vast, sealed chamber. At its center floated a shimmering crystal sphere—completely azure with faint purple veins, slowly purging the curse that had infected it.

“Looks like whoever created the curse was trying the same thing we’re doing,” Alice observed. “But their method was deeply flawed—they used the dungeon bosses as pillars to spread the infection. What we can do is far more effective and permanent.”

We advanced. I reached out and touched the core.

It was bitterly cold, ice instantly grew around my hand, likely a defensive mechanism. Dragon fire quickly melted it away.

“Alright, Alice.”

Alice nodded and produced a new System Seed, handing it to me. Then Yggdra and Armageddon stepped forward.

“Master, allow me to infuse a fragment of my Spirit into the System Seed,” Yggdra offered. “That way I can make the core an extension of my soul. I can then help Alice connect it to your authority through my body within the dungeon.”

“Good idea,” Alice agreed. “But what about you, Armageddon?”

“I will help you refine it,” Armageddon replied. “It will definitely resist.”

“Ok!” I nodded firmly. “Let’s begin.”

After expending twenty million EXP on an exceptionally strong System Seed, Yggdra held it in her hands and infused it with her divine spiritual energy. It transformed into a small, tree-like seedling that shimmered with green and gold spiritual radiance.

I placed it before the Dungeon Core. It passed straight through, sinking into the nebulous interior and spreading like circuits throughout.

“Here—let’s do it!”

Armageddon’s divinity merged with mine, along with Scarlet and Sapphire’s power. We fought against the Dungeon Core’s authority and willpower, quickly breaking and overwhelming it.

The azure hue of the core slowly shifted. Red circuits spread across its surface until it was completely covered.

FLAAASH!

A massive explosion of divine and magical energies erupted from the core, knocking us all back once more.

“So?” I asked, standing up. “Did it work—oh?!”

Suddenly my perspective shifted. I found myself looking down at the entire Glacial Caves Dungeon from high above, as though my eyes now floated in the sky. The sensation was truly strange.

But it confirmed everything.

“It worked!”

“Yes, look!”

Alice summoned a large hologram of the dungeon. It showed a brand-new floor had formed—even without leveling up again.

This new floor floated within a strange cosmic cloud, shimmering with starlight and resembling a starry night sky, completely separated from the rest of the dungeon.

“Wow, it worked—it freaking worked! Hell yeah!”
