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

-----

While recovering, the dungeon had become markedly weaker—this was the ideal opportunity.

"The Dungeon’s pretty weak right now as it recovers," Alice remarked, grinning while starting to embrace my outrageous plan. "This is our moment."

My unique divine eyes effortlessly tracked the Mana currents throughout the dungeon. Guided by this, we veered onto a completely new path, pursuing the spot with the thickest Mana buildup.

"I still feel this is pushing it a bit..." Furoh sighed. "But okay, perhaps that’s precisely what we require—wild schemes."

"Hmm, I’ve considered it," Yggdra stated. "I can assist with the strategy you’re planning, Sylphy."

"You can? Great!" I nodded enthusiastically. "Hmm, I believe it’s this way."

We arrived at a spacious, barren chamber at the conclusion of a concealed route I’d largely overlooked since it held absolutely nothing. This apparent dead end hid the hidden room.

Thick ice covered the walls, but underneath were bricks made of an extraordinarily tough blue stone imbued with spatial traits—virtually unbreakable.

Ignatius dissolved the ice. As I advanced, I called forth Armageddon beside me along with Nephilim.

Next, I grasped Scarlet and Sapphire.

The instant I held them, a tremendous, bursting divine force rushed through my veins. My divinity felt doubled—no, tripled? Quadrupled? Maybe quintupled.

Incredible. They weren’t merely individual goddesses; grasping them merged their full might with mine, boosting me to new heights.

"Alright, let’s go for it!"

I slashed with Scarlet using all my might. Simultaneously, Armageddon and Nephilim unleashed their full fury.

I gathered and condensed my Yggdragon Auras, wrapping them around myself and shifting into the supreme Dragonoid shape I’d employed against my brother before.

With this layered might and our joint onslaught, we delivered a triple blow!

A fissure immediately spiderwebbed over the wall, with chunks of the enigmatic blue stone—something I’d never inspected up close—breaking off. I instructed Glutton to consume every fallen bit for later use as crafting material to examine its traits.

"Keep going!" I yelled.

Every unified strike widened the fractures more and more until at last—

A colossal blast of spatial forces and void energy exploded outward, flinging us all away.

"Ugh... did it succeed?"

I rose gradually, noticing a enormous breach now gaped in the wall.

It had required roughly twenty minutes, yet we’d succeeded!

"We did it!" Nephilim exclaimed joyfully.

"It worked, eh?" Armageddon smirked. "Heh, now the real excitement begins! Count me in too, Sylphy!"

Glutton slurped up all the shards and gulped down the minuscule blue rocks, which sparkled like stars when fractured.

I lifted a single fragment. It was ridiculously dense.

"Ugh?!"

A piece smaller than a cherry tipped the scales at minimum ten tons. What in the world?

"This material is insanely heavy! How can this be?"

My eyes and the system scanned it. Here’s what showed up:

-----

[Dimension Stone Fragment (? Grade)]

A tiny shard of Dimension Stone, crafted from squeezed Dimensional Magic and Divine Power mixed with Cosmic Dust via Divine Alchemy Arts. Solely top-tier divine entities can produce it. Appearing unbreakable, it yields to divine and space-based strikes, with outcomes differing greatly.

When splintered, it gleams like starlight and radiates potent cosmic divine energy. An ultra-rare, priceless divine resource that gods alone can handle correctly. Its actual rank remains unreadable.

"Wow, and this type of stone exists in EVERY dungeon?!" Ignatius wondered.

"We might’ve struck gold," I replied with a wicked smile. "Perfect divine stuff for your upcoming evolutions! Heheh, that jerk never dreamed a mortal could shatter and refine his treasured blue stones. Haha."

"Exactly! Now we’re in the true game, Sylph!" Armageddon chuckled. "I spot it already—the Dungeon Core’s just ahead! Quick. Dimensional Stone reforms eventually."

"Yes," I agreed with a nod.

We entered the expansive, enclosed room. In its heart hovered a glowing crystal orb—pure azure with subtle purple streaks, gradually cleansing the curse afflicting it.

"Seems the curse’s maker attempted what we’re trying," Alice noted. "But their approach was badly mistaken—they relied on dungeon bosses as anchors to propagate the curse. Our way is vastly superior and lasting."

We pressed on. I extended my hand to contact the core.

Freezing cold gripped it, frost rapidly forming around my fingers—doubtless a protective measure. Dragon flames swiftly thawed it.

"Alright, Alice."

Alice nodded and revealed a fresh System Seed, passing it over. Then Yggdra and Armageddon moved up.

"Master, let me embed a piece of my Spirit into the System Seed," Yggdra suggested. "This will turn the core into part of my soul. I can then aid Alice in linking it to your command via my dungeon presence."

"Smart thinking," Alice concurred. "And you, Armageddon?"

"I’ll assist in refining it," Armageddon answered. "It’ll fight back hard."

"Ok!" I nodded resolutely. "Let’s start."

Spending twenty million EXP on a top-tier System Seed, Yggdra cradled it and channeled her divine spirit energy inside. It morphed into a petite, tree-shaped sprout glowing with verdant and golden spiritual light.

I positioned it in front of the Dungeon Core. It phased right through, embedding into the misty core and branching out like wiring everywhere.

"Here—let’s go!"

Armageddon’s divinity blended with mine, plus Scarlet and Sapphire’s strength. We clashed against the Dungeon Core’s dominion and resistance, rapidly shattering and subduing it.

The core’s azure tint gradually changed. Crimson circuits crawled over its exterior until fully enveloped.

A huge surge of divine and magical power burst from the core, shoving us back again.

"So?" I queried, getting up. "Did it succeed—oh?!"

Abruptly, my viewpoint altered. I gazed down upon the whole Glacial Caves Dungeon from far overhead, like my vision now drifted in the heavens. The feeling was utterly bizarre.

Yet it proved success.

"It worked!"

"Yes, check it out!"

Alice conjured a massive dungeon hologram. It displayed a fresh floor had materialized—even sans further leveling.

This latest floor drifted amid an odd cosmic nebula, twinkling with stellar glow and evoking a starry night sky, entirely isolated from the dungeon’s other sections.

"Wow, it worked—it actually worked! Hell yeah!"
