Chương 333: Eternity and Domination

Dungeon – 50th Floor

As the second secure floor of the Deep Layer area, Renjiro had never personally stepped foot here before. But Twin Stars and several other Genshin had visited countless times.

Today…

"Hng~"

With Mona using her teleportation to bring Ottar, Allen, and the others here, Lumine, along with Xiao, Fischl, Xingqiu, Barbara, and the returning Aether, instantly gathered at the pre-established Teleportation Anchors.

At this moment…

"What the hell is going on?"

Allen, an Lv.6 adventurer, had of course reached this floor before.

He once soloed as deep as the 58th floor—matching Ottar's record. After all, he was nicknamed Orario's Fastest, excelling at solo operations.

To put it bluntly: even if he couldn't overpower an enemy, he always had a chance to escape.

So, although Allen's floor record matched Ottar's, he had never attempted to solo the 49th floor boss—Balor.

He was hot-tempered, not stupid.

Right now…

"This is really the 50th floor?"

Anyone who had been here before would clearly remember: the 50th floor was supposed to be Gray colored trees.

But now…

Lava flowed everywhere across a vast barren wasteland.

"This is practically identical to the Dragon's Vase starting on the 52nd floor," Hedin adjusted his glasses.

"Looks like Dionysus really is hiding deep within the dungeon."

"And he's already unleashed divinity to summon super-enhanced species."

everyone present knew that the appearance of super-enhanced species usually meant at least one floor's environment had been drastically altered.

Years ago, during the Seven Days of Death rebellion, similar situations had occurred.

"Mona, can you pinpoint Dionysus' exact location?"

Lumine tilted her head, addressing the astrologer in their team.

Hearing the question…

"No. I can't locate the exact position," Mona frowned tightly, clearly frustrated at her own limitations.

"But I can confirm… you guessed right. That god is somewhere in this dungeon. He hasn't left Orario."

This was better than nothing. At least everyone could be sure Dionysus hadn't set this up in advance and fled. He, too, was in a state of urgency.

"We must locate Dionysus precisely, and also identify the true nature of these super-enhanced species as quickly as possible."

Aether, having just escorted Goddess Astraea back to Orario earlier this evening, scanned the surroundings.

"Leave this task to me and Xiao."

No objections arose. Xiao, after all, was a god skilled in teleportation.

While Ningguang could teleport too, she was no match for Xiao's freedom of movement.

As for Aether…

After awakening the development potential of Eternity, combined with Domination, he was now perfectly suited for reconnaissance tasks.

"No time to waste. Let's move."

As Aether spoke, his form seemed to shimmer like an afterimage, trembling slightly.

In the next instant, he split into two, then four… multiplying continuously like a divine stove god, forming multiple clones.

This was the new technique granted by the development potential of Domination.

Currently, this development ability was at the lowest rank i, so the maximum number of clones Aether could create was only in the double digits.

One could imagine that once perfected, he might instantly multiply into a thousand.

For now, combined with Eternity's teleportation effect, dozens of Aether clones scattered across the floor in afterimages.

The young immortal himself moved with even more precise, efficient teleportation, heading straight for the stairway to the upper layers.

Clearly, Aether was in charge of locating targets, while Xiao would handle precise positioning.

The team had to know exactly what threats awaited them.

"Are we just waiting here?"

Allen looked at Lumine, asking bluntly.

The truth was, the core members had rarely… no, they had never actually coordinated on a full expedition. So Allen instinctively wanted to act alone.

"Super-enhanced species born from the Deep Layer, a Lv.7 Banshee, and the Demi Spirit's embryonic clone… none of these can be handled by a single Lv.6 adventurer,"Lumine said, gazing at the black-haired cat-man.

"Allen, please don't act recklessly."

Hearing this…

"You think I can't handle them?"

"No."

The ditzy little sister smiled lightly.

"I just don't want you to be in danger."

Allen fell silent.

Lumine continued:

"Our purpose today is simple: absolute victory."

"No one is allowed to die."

"The city saboteur has a scary title, but if anyone gets injured fighting him, it'll her."

"We will crush everything with absolute superiority."

"everyone, stay calm."

She looked at Allen again:

"Just wait a little longer… understand?"

"Tch~"

At this point, he had no rebuttal. Especially when Lumine said she didn't want him in danger—he had to admit, this younger comrade was impressive.

Finally, taking the offered step down…

"You're right. We need absolute dominance."

Allen frowned.

"If we have to drag out the fight with these lowlifes, it'd be embarrassing."

"Underestimating them is taboo," Hedin added.

"Today… we will crush them. No doubt."

"Hmph~ hmm hmm hmm…"

"And Hogni, you stay silent."

Ottar, not to mention the Gulliver brothers, hadn't even joined yet.

At that moment…

Lumine's expression froze briefly, then a faint smile curved her lips.

"We've found Dionysus' location."

"That bastard wine god and the Banshee are on the 49th floor."

"Aether reports that the environment below the 51st floor remains unchanged."

"So…"

The golden-haired, golden-eyed girl looked upward.

"…this 50th floor is where Dionysus released divinity to summon the super-enhanced species."
