Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out? Chapter 1989: A New Way To Expand The Dungeon

-----

Arms raised high in victory, I celebrated as I touched the core, feeling my power course through it. I looked at the others, their faces showing shock, awe, and disbelief, with wide-eyed amazement dominating the scene.

Instantly, my authority gripped the entire dungeon, as if a piece of my soul had extended into every crevice. Wow, and along with it surged an unbelievable rush of power.

Divine Energy flooded my soul, racing through my body and spirit all at once. The feeling was utterly stunning in every way.

My divinities started ascending, soaking up the divine power and strengthening at a mind-blowing speed.

If I kept seizing more dungeons and snatching them from that jerk, wouldn't that turn me into the new goddess of dungeons?!

But there was more.

Roots of wood exploded from the dungeon's floor. A massive tree burst forth, its branches encircling the core in protection.

The wood gleamed with a frosty blue glow, chill like ice. Leaves made of sparkling ice crystals emerged, and blue apples shining like gems dangled from the limbs. Yggdra’s divine aura emanated strongly from the tree's heart.

"Sylphy! I’m in!" she declared. "I’ve made this core part of my body! Now we can connect to the dungeon easily whenever we want."

"Perfect!" I cheered. "Oh?"

[Congratulations, you have done the impossible! You have successfully refined the Dungeon Core of the Glacial Caves Dungeon and made the Dungeon your own.]

[You have officially become the new God and Authority of the Dungeon, taking it from the previous owner.]

[Additionally, your Dungeon has created a new Floor including the Glacial Caves Dungeon and adding it to its repertoire.]

[The Floor will be connected to your Dungeon, and you will be able to access it at any time and bring whoever you want, but inhabitants of your Dungeon cannot enter it on their own unless granted special permissions.]

[You can now manage the Sub-Dungeon Floor, {Glacial Caves Dungeon}!]

[Do you wish to expand it? To add new monsters? To make it larger and more durable? You can use Dungeon Points for all of that.]

As a Dungeon that exists outside of your Original Dungeon, EXP earned from defeating monsters here can be saved.

"Oh! An EXP grinding spot! Nice! But... it’s also not ideal—the dwarves rely on this place, right? I can’t just abuse it or I’d ruin their economy."

"Yeah," Yggdra agreed. "It would be better to hold off on that idea for now. Simply owning it is already an enormous advantage."

"Well, why not expand it a little?" Armageddon suggested. "It shouldn’t cost much. Make yourself a private area where you can grind freely."

"Huh! I didn’t think of that," I nodded. "Okay, how do we do it?"

"With my help, it should be simple," Alice said.

"And mine!" Yggdra added.

They both appeared in their grand, towering forms and directed my divine avatar, which surveyed it all like an overseer of a living game board.

Basically, I just needed to will it into being. With a wave of my divine hand, the dungeon grew, doubling its size. A concealed wall rose, forming a hidden chamber around the core.

After pouring in pure Mana—and thanks to my infinite supply—monsters spawned at full throttle. Hundreds popped up in seconds.

Three fresh bosses also appeared, all Rank 9: a Winter Werewolf King, a Frost Forest Treant King, and a Spectral Frozen Queen.

Unlike monsters from my main dungeon, these assaulted me immediately upon spotting me. They didn't acknowledge me as their master, or maybe they just weren't smart enough... I wasn't certain.

"Why don’t they recognize me as master?" I asked.

"Because their master is your divine form," Yggdra explained. "What you’re using now is your mortal vessel. Such a form isn’t suited to being a dungeon master, so they see you as an enemy. That means you can hunt them freely for EXP and more."

"Huh! That sounds perfect," I said with a grin. "So now I can finally grind EXP on easy mode... Heheh."

"Yeah, but keeping the monsters spawning will cost a daily amount of Dungeon Points," Alice warned. "Once those run out, it starts consuming your EXP instead."

"Ah, don’t worry—my main dungeon generates plenty of Dungeon Points daily!" I said happily. "I think we can find some balance. At least I’m going to try. The dwarves keep their half, and I’ll have mine."

"Their half is significantly weaker now that the curse is gone, but yours is much stronger. How odd," Furoh remarked. "Is it your influence?"

"Maybe," I said. "Whatever the case, it’s good. I wonder if we should... yeah, let’s do a quick run."

"A quick run?" Yggdra asked, confused.

"Nephilim, Armageddon, Scarlet, Sapphire, and Erebus—go wild!" I commanded.

They shared looks, nodded, and rushed into the dungeon. In under half an hour, they massacred hundreds of monsters and took down all three bosses!

These new bosses were weaker than the corrupted Tier 9: Rank 1 ones, falling swiftly. I even grappled the Winter Werewolf King personally in a savage, thrilling fight. It was a blast—and then it perished. Whew... it hit me how incredibly powerful I'd grown.

"It’s done!"

[You and your Familiars have slain the Dungeon Bosses and have slaughtered over a thousand Tier 7 to 9 Monsters!]

[You have earned +39.000.000 EXP]

[Current [EXP]: [545.500.000/%4g3#]

The EXP I got personally was surprisingly low, sparking my curiosity.

"The EXP you earn is recycled back into dungeon maintenance," Alice explained. "Don’t worry—the portion shared with those who can level up remains unaffected. So..."

And Yggdra had finally reached max level—she was ready to evolve!
