Sylphy asserted her authority as princess and hero, compelling the guards to grant entry into the Swamp Shrimp Dungeon. Her companions admired her firm stance, evoking comparisons to her mother amid discussions of curses afflicting the monsters. They effortlessly defeated swarms of Flying Swamp Shrimp and a formidable Tier 8 Golden Crab Emperor guarding the Dimensional Stone core, then began mining the valuable resource.

After merely ten minutes, the wall exploded apart. Glutton devoured the scattered rubble, letting us stride through. Alice generated yet another System Seed, this one demanding 30 million EXP. Yggdra channeled her spiritual soul into it, and with assistance from Armageddon and Nephilim, we refined the dark green core in just seconds.

Ownership got overwritten in a flash. I claimed the role of the dungeon's new master. Piece of cake.

[Congratulations, you have successfully refined the Dungeon Core of the Swamp Shrimp 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 Swamp Shrimp 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, {Swamp Shrimp 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.]

A surge of Divine Power rushed into me. Controlling three Dungeon Cores now, the energy linking to me surged far stronger than earlier.

"And it is done! I can feel my divinity rising. Let us continue."

Our next stops were the Blind Fish Dungeon and the Goo Farm Dungeon. We planned to wrap up after those and head back home for some rest.

The Blind Fish Dungeon featured endless caves brimming with a crystal-clear, stunning underground river and lakes swarming with enormous blind fish boasting razor-sharp fangs.

We snagged loads of fish for meals here and pushed forward smoothly. Upon reaching the core's chamber, I demolished the encircling rock with one mighty kick.

Indeed—it lay submerged underwater.

Aquarina iced over the water to stop any flood into the secret chamber. Ten minutes of smashing through the Dimensional Stone later, we leaped into the opening.

This dungeon’s core was clearly tinier and lacked any guardian. With a brand-new System Seed costing 40 million EXP—pre-infused and altered by Yggdra—we embedded it into the core and swiftly refined it, overwriting its systems, ownership, and allegiance to me.

Four Dungeon Cores connected to me now. Their power flooded through my whole existence. This divine energy provided an amazing surge to my development—my Mana Heart pounded quicker, producing more divine power and tempering my divinities to climb even higher.

I brushed aside the notifications as we hurried ahead.

"Almost there... Let’s go for the last one! Thank you everyone for being so patient with me."

"It’s nothing, Sylphy. We’ve always been patient," Mist said with a gentle smile.

"It’s fun to travel together too!" Lara added cheerfully. "I’ve noticed something as well—when you take over the dungeons, the murky, strange energy around them vanishes and is replaced with much cleaner energy. It’s as if the miasma they relied on gets overwritten by pure spiritual soul energy."

"Really?" I asked. "It’s true that dungeons often form in places with heavy concentrations of Miasma... so my own dungeons are different from the classic ones the evil god spreads and controls?"

"Could be," Alice replied. "You also have to consider that Yggdra has fused with each core, making them part of her body and spiritual being."

"Right..." I nodded, staring at the majestic tree sprouting from the underground lake's center, protecting the core beneath. "Yggdra, how do you feel so far?"

"R-Really strong... I have never felt this strong before," she said. "And that is saying something when I have direct access to your boundless Mana, master. I feel like at any moment I could evolve into something entirely new... the line between my spiritual powers, my mortality, and what lies beyond is rapidly blurring together."

"Nice," I smiled. "Let’s go for the last dungeon—one we visited before that’ll bring a little nostalgia."

We rushed directly to the day's final dungeon: the Goo Farm Dungeon. This spot was where we first spotted tougher monsters popping up from thin air. We hadn't dwelled on it back then, but now it all tied together.

Cursed, beefier monsters had ousted the regular ones, shoving them into feebler dungeons where they butchered novice adventurers.

Ultimately, it built up to the chaos we confronted today...

"There sure are a lot of them now!"

Entering the moist caves packed with mushrooms, countless fresh Goos were spawning all around—still the feeble kind, though.

Pyuku, in his tiny slime shape atop Aquarina’s shoulder or head, observed the Goos wordlessly.

"They truly are like inferior, lesser versions of myself," he said with quiet awe. "I didn’t even know these types of monsters existed. How ugly. It somehow makes me want to kill them all."

"Woah, relax," Aquarina said. "Let’s just pass through..."

Yeah, that remark caught me off guard. Was he furious at the Goos just for being there? It wasn't their doing they appeared so ridiculous next to sleeker slimes.

It resembled a human spotting an ape, raging at its apeness, and craving to slay it... well, Pyuku held back from acting, but he admitted the urge.

"They’re monsters anyway—it doesn’t matter either way, Pyuku," I shrugged. "Ah, is it here? Yeah."

We slipped into a profound hidden passage—this time, stairs concealed under a gigantic boulder.

A massive vacant chamber unfolded ahead. Wiping dust from the left wall exposed a gleaming blue stone.

After burning 50 million EXP, Yggdra’s infused strength merged into the System Seed. Once the wall crumbled with my familiars' aid, the core was refined.

Five Dungeon Cores simultaneously. They resembled tiny stars shining at my Soul's core, encircling my Divinity like a cosmic nebula.

"Nice! It’s done!"

Divine Power raced through my soul with even greater ferocity than before. I simply had to sit, allow it to stabilize, and fully refine it into mine, pushing my divinity to new heights.

"Yggdra, how do you feel—Woah?!"

I glanced at Yggdra’s fairy form. She radiated a dazzling glow. The five Dungeon Cores manifested inside her like throbbing hearts.

"I-I feel very strong!" she cried. "I think I have to evolve soon, master... or I might explode."

"You what?!" I gasped. "Okay, okay, let’s do it now—screw it! Let’s go inside my dungeon first."
