The split double doors close behind us, and the massive archway compacts back in on itself. The unfathomable amount of bright flashing ether commands dull, then reverts to only lines and dots in my vision. Seconds later, every sign of its existence completely disappears.

Not only does this archway deactivate, but so does the overwhelming pressure of Primordial Aura and the sensation of being watched pouring down from the trees.

I turn around, and to my utter surprise, I see dark b...

Dungeon Diver CH939

We’re left in silence for a few seconds, but no matter how many times I repeat this Black Ogre’s words in my mind, they only make less and less sense.

“We have no domain affiliation… but, we come in peace. I see no reason to fight you!”

The Jet Black Astral energy manifestation nods slowly, but it turns its gaze to Maria beside me, as if it is waiting for her response as well.

“It’s true. We didn’t even know your domain was in our path. We can go around if ne...

Dungeon Diver CH938

We continue floating deeper into the forest with no vantage points in sight.

The more trees we pass, the more they all begin to blend together and look the same. I have one way of telling direction, and that is following Ember's soul bond. However, even it only gives me a vague feeling of its direction; not the distance we’ve traveled or how far we have to go.

The strange outline of a lizard creature fades away behind us as it leaves my mental vision, but once I scan more and mo...

Dungeon Diver CH937

My Celestial Fire and Demonic Corruption stop circulating around me and seep back into my sacred body, falling back into my cores.

The manifestation of horns on my head recedes, and my face is revealed to the outside world. However, this instantly limits my field of view. Not outwardly portraying my true self disrupts the natural flow of my aura and even makes my linked vision with Maria weaker.

I let my Greater and Astral Forms deactivate, along with my Sacred Body.

The mas...

Dungeon Diver CH936

In the Lower Realm, the Imperial forces begin to finally approach more solar systems. The masses are no longer lost out in deep space.

Automated information from the Demonic Realm begins pinging out to every corner of the galaxy so their formations can become far more optimized and seamless. All of the deaths of Vermillion and Morvale Family Demons over the last few years have been logged, and their coordinates blasted out to the masses.

This shift in the Imperial’s soldiers spl...

Dungeon Diver CH935

An invisible pathway deep within my consciousness seeps upward through the zone.

It is like I’m perceiving a direction of space I should not be able to comprehend. It feels similar to the activation of Samir’s final attacks, where his orbs of Primordial Aura were turning through angles of space that shouldn’t exist.

Or even the feeling I felt while being thrust upward through zones, as it feels like we’re shifting through areas of space rather than just moving upward. As I...

Dungeon Diver CH934

More notifications ring in my mind as Abby claims all of the worlds held in the Cyan Zone, and my borrowed stats explode upward. I’m only currently pulling 60%, but at my fingertips, I have access to 90% of the borrowed stats from over 70 billion worlds in the Lower Realm.

Moments ago, using my Rising Emperor perks, I could see a small portion of the galaxy below me.

The worlds I was connected to gave me live feeds to countless solar systems, and perfect locations pinpointing th...

Dungeon Diver CH933

The Dark Blue Zone is silent and peaceful.

There are slight bends in the sea below us, but other than that, it settles back to its resting state without many waves at all.

Maria’s angel wings slowly flap, and the red fire and black corruption circulating around me oscillates to keep me floating in the air.

Both of our Celestial Bodies grow even larger, now both strengthened by True royal vibrations, but the Primordial Aura that makes the depths of our souls tether together...

Dungeon Diver CH932

In the Cyan Zone, Abby’s vines wrap around a Demonic Dragon tens of times larger than her in the sky.

It glows bright white and blue, with a light purple shimmer in all of its scales. The crown on its head is heavier than the rest of its greater energy manifestation, as it holds Primordial Aura compacted with ancient ether commands quite similar to Samir’s armor.

However, none of this matters.

The bright green vines Abby uses constrict its wings and hold it up high in th...

Dungeon Diver CH931

I watch a bright white and blue glistening blade pierce through Samir’s back and come out the front of his chest in my direction.

By the time he realizes, I’ve already closed the distance between us as well and shove my blade right above the icy one in his chest.

An unfathomable amount of ether commands are activating as I pierce through the thick armor. However, up close, I can analyze them with much more detail. They’re not all fully activating. Compared to the commands I ...

Dungeon Diver CH930

The images of spinning white glyphs in that purple demon’s eyes in these shared memories are seared into my mind.

Not only does it match up with the countless demons spawning around the battlefield of the past, it also perfectly mimics the arrays and protection commands that Samir Vanguard uses when activating his armor now in the present day.

I’ve already reacted to the blast and set up defensive contingencies, as I assumed taking a risk and diving in so close would have Sami...

Dungeon Diver CH929

After Maria landed a single blow on Samir’s lower leg, his entire demeanor changed again.

Now, after every movement, he activates countless glyphs all over his armor to heal the cracked portion, and secondly, to make sure he does not get hit again.

We start throwing multiple blue and red crescents of energy at this Royal Demon, but none of them can connect like before. That is because, with his additional caution, the counterattacks have been blasting at us nonstop.

The en...

Dungeon Diver CH928

Abby’s first response to this attack is to send as many full-powered spears of earth at the chain’s links that are still white, but this area shrinks as more blue light gets closer to Lucian’s chest.

All of the attacks she throws are instantly eaten up by the invisible force that easily pierced through her defensive arrays without even making a ripple or distortion in them.

Even the pressure in the air starts getting too intense. Her physical body is not being hurt, but her ...

Dungeon Diver CH927

One of the invisible attacks just barely grazes my leg, while the other hits my left arm from the shoulder all the way down to the fingers.

The feeling is like nothing I've ever felt before... It's like I’m being deleted.

Despite all of my defenses being on full power, summoning barriers in front of the closest attacks, and fortifying my own armor and protective energy, these attacks break through me with almost no resistance at all.

Just like the attacks I’ve been throw...

Dungeon Diver CH926

Every step in the air forward into this deadly battlefield makes my smile grow wider.

As much as I enjoyed putting that Ancient Demon in its place in the Ravine, it wasn't really even a close or fair fight at all. The seals in that strange dark abyss made it even more unsatisfying.

Yet, as dozens of invisible attacks that could easily kill me if they hit me straight on before I figure out how this energy source works, it fills my Vibrations with ambition. My soul sword dents space...

Dungeon Diver CH925

The air within this half-a-trillion-kilometer-wide birdcage becomes so heavy that anything less than a full-fledged Royal Family Head would die by now if they got anywhere near the aura.

So many different energy types are bursting through the air, blending physical reality with abnormal bends in space and vibrations testing the strength of the other’s will.

Samir yells back.

“Impossible. Humans… with the capacity to wield the powers of the Primordials…”

Far m...

Dungeon Diver CH924

Samir Vanguard floats between his two Monstrous Sentinels in his base form after giving Maria and me the offer to say our final words.

There is only silence in the air as I watch every last one of the Demonic Soldiers that were caught up in the blast reform back into perfect versions of themselves like they were never killed in the first place. All of their personal High Noble Vibrations have been drowned out. It’s like tens of thousands of Royal Demons have surrounded us.

The p...

Dungeon Diver CH923

The massive Cyan Cored Demon is hit with blue and green gravity waves from above his city, yet he sends back a dense pulse of his own Royal Vibrations to negate all of their mental attacks.

His unsealed Royal Form stands at nearly a million kilometers tall, head to toe.

The Soul Armor all over his body is infused with dense cyan threads, white celestial energy, and layers upon layers of his Royal Vibrations.

The chain that glows hotter and hotter white wraps around his left ...

Dungeon Diver CH922

In the Lower Realm, dead worlds without a single sign of life remaining on them suddenly begin to glow with white arrays.

Other strange pockets of space shrouded in dark black clouds glow purple. These pockets of space are so distant from the life in the origin plane that they have been forgotten with time. Similarly to the Demonic Realm itself, they cannot be found or traveled to by normal means.

All of a sudden, High Quality Ether commands that have been lying dormant since the ...

Dungeon Diver CH921

​​In the Dark Blue Zone, tens of thousands of Demon-shaped gravity waves surround the battlefield.

Maria and I are deep below sea level, but there is no liquid Celestial Energy in sight.

For at least a 200 billion kilometer diameter crater into the sea, the massive pressure from the two of us and the two Sentinels is blasting away most of the Celestial energy in the zone. In fact, all of the collisions and explosions have been forcing us to absorb more and more divine threads ...

Dungeon Diver CH920

Abby looks below her and sees a massive Cyan City rising out of the clouds.

The strange place she's been teleported into has intense gravity, and the density of the Celestial energy and Cyan threads in the air is thousands of times higher than the Green Zone.

If she were standing in her base form right now, she might have been extremely injured by the pressure. However, in the manifestation of the Immortal Healer, all of this physical damage flows right through her.

Abby exe...

Dungeon Diver CH919

“It means someone other than the Overseer has the ability to trigger the reset.”

Pressure in this mental chamber builds up so much that Lucian struggles to breathe and almost falls to his knees. Samir activates enough mental commands within his armor to alleviate the pressure but still does not dare to move a muscle or speak out of line again.

The Imperial Family Head raises a hand, and white wisps of energy follow like they're alive.

“No more games. Personally deal wi...

Dungeon Diver CH918

As the shockwave of massive Celestial energy beams fills the air, thousands of tendrils of royal Vibration-enforced Celestial Energy connect the back of this defensive array toward Maria and me.

Her ice blocked the attack’s blunt impact while my Fire siphoned out over half of the impact’s force.

The excess energy from this attack comes flowing down these tendrils, mainlined into our greater forms to be processed instantly.

Neither of us wastes a moment and uses this raw ...

Dungeon Diver CH917

The higher we float, the more waves we're able to see on the horizon.

After a few minutes, the million-kilometer-high crashing waves of Celestial Energy seem tiny.

All off in one direction, the waves grow larger and larger, like the ocean is swelling upward to make a blue mountain in the sky that occasionally crashes to form valleys even deeper. Not only is this zone enormous, to the point where I’m able to see over a billion kilometers off in one direction and it still seems en...

There are no updates from the Rising Emperor in the Lower Realm.

After being appointed as administrators, Pluto, Bri, and Alveron have taken control of the mana-based forces and begun a galactic expansion to take back stolen worlds from the Demons and make many solar systems whole and safe again.

Almost all of the Morvales' private armies have been targeted and exterminated by the Commanders. The Knights have partnered with many of the newer Elite Worlds connecting to the World Wi...

Dungeon Diver CH914

I can’t move.

My mind is processing the images before me, but it feels like time has slowed to a stop…

At least to my body, and certain physical aspects of my soul.

My active mind in this hyper-focused, yet calming enlightened state is completely conscious. I can feel Maria’s mind and parts of her soul taking in the scene before us too, as though we’re the only observers of this strange new reality.

Red Celestial Fire still flows out from my feet into the floor...

Dungeon Diver CH913

The two humans that stand before statues within a ravine fall into a semi-trance-like state.

A white glyph within the chests of each of their statues begins to resonate with the millions of invisible runes layered within their bodies after receiving the temple’s legacy. Neither of them can sense exactly what is happening, but the sensation feels warm, inviting, and instinctively good for them in every way.

In a pocket of space outside the Lower and Upper Realms, a dim glowing wh...

Dungeon Diver CH912

There are many deep growth ridges in the glowing white bones.

Different stages of its development over its millions of years in the Ravine can be sensed through them. Incredibly pure and dense celestial energy flows through them as a constant, but the structure and wavelength of its Royal Vibrations change throughout the sections as we walk forward and examine the horns.

We separate and float around the massive specimens to examine them further.

They’re the largest raw bon...

Dungeon Diver CH911

Extremely strong surges of power flow from this Demon’s cores through my sword, and into my body and soul.

Pure white Celestial energy flows into the bright red fire in my soul energy core and strengthens my flames. It is like a violent eruption of a volcano finally being contained by pathways secure enough to contain the molten lava flow.

There is dark purple Demonic Essence that is torn out of this Demon’s core and siphoned from its dark black aura. This is devoured by the c...
