When these auras continue to flow pasts us, I feel a temporary soul tie formed with this mysterious demon.

Even Ember’s soul tie grows stronger when I can feel his golden aura.

However, I can still sense him even when there is no conversation going on. Just like the construct around the galaxy, I have a permanent soul tie attached to him, and can sense his direction.

It is not one that I can just simply create a few propulsion arrays and reach. The only method I have to mo...

“This is what you say, but you are the selfish one, not me! You berate me for believing there is more out there, when you yourself claim to be from beyond… Do not try to play your games any longer, I’ve already won. All I must do is wait until the end of time. Trying to defeat me now would be even more harmful than good for both of us!” the demon’s voice echoes back in a wave of purple and silver energy.

This time, the faint imprints of glyphs feel like they’re present in th...

Dungeon Diver CH1028

There is only darkness around me, yet when I move my body and even swing my sword, it feels like there is a thick atmosphere.

Just like the surroundings feel hot and cold at the same time, there is a very odd sensation taking place with the force I exert on my surroundings too. It feels like I’m trying to push through dense liquid that should have heavy resistance. However, the aura in the air reacts with my movements to counter the strain, making reality shift with me when I do so. I...

Dungeon Diver CH1027

The darkness feels both warm and inviting, but also filled with a cold pressure.

It is kind of like a pure mass of Advanced Primordial Aura, but from here, I can't sense any conscious mind controlling it. It feels like it is just existing on its own, like somehow the atmosphere itself is made of pure primordial aura.

My blade stops moving downward after a certain point, as it feels like there is too much resistance. Cutting through the fabric of the purple zone more would put unne...

Dungeon Diver CH1026

The clouds of ether in the purple zone stop spreading outward at an unstoppable rate, and instead begin swirling and pulling inward toward the masses of gravity in its center.

Maria and I both float upward, drawn to drift toward the perfect point in the middle of the domain.

Below us, the shattered tree stump glows bright white, and the two arrays anchored to it spin faster and faster. The two arrays reach a point where they no longer need to draw in ether from the air, as they ar...

Dungeon Diver CH1025

Above the purple zone, there is a strange curved pocket of space filled with a dark black advanced primordial aura.

It does not suppress those that exist in it, nor does it empower them.

It makes anyone floating through it very disoriented, unless they have dealt with aura like this before. Without a consciousness, or a strong will to guide one in a direction they desire, it will only lead to more of an empty black void.

Ember emerges from the cracks in the ceiling of the up...

Dungeon Diver CH1024

The same dark black cracks that appear far above me are not the only place I see them.

Down in the Lower Realm, the artifact that was linked to Marcellus’ white orb is breaking apart. The dark mist-like barrier protecting this region of space from being discovered glitches and begins to disintegrate once its main anchor’s arrays start to break.

Flashes of white light burst around the artifact, as many spectators watching the scene teleport away to safer regions of the galaxy.<...

Dungeon Diver CH1023

When I look back toward the center of the domain, through the plumes of high-quality ether, and stare into the cracked stump of the Primordial Tree, there are overlapping memories that remain in the forefront of my mind.

Marcellus’ in-depth scans of the zone’s floor are still fresh visions, but now I’m seeing them with far more layers of the zone revealed in front of me with no resistance at all.

There are two overlapping circles of ancient arrays that start to slowly move b...

Dungeon Diver CH1022

I watch hundreds of thousands of battles pass by in the Purple Zone.

The majority of the first, and most intense, battles all occur in less than a million-year timeframe.

It is when the Lower Realm is still being drained of its high energy pockets, and the generals of first bloods and outer guards are still no longer myths of old. Almost every single demon born in this era is a Noble or High Noble with guaranteed potential to ascend.

It makes Ember’s ability to manipulate ...

Dungeon Diver CH1021

Heavy Advanced Primordial Aura is separated into unrecognizable parts, and obliterated by waves of red ethereal fire and deep black corruption. Enough high-quality ether to fill the purple zone multiple times over powers the glyphs that hold this energy in reality long enough for me to completely suppress and overwhelm it.

All of the orange and blue energy that flows through my metallic origin body’s pathways is broken down and paired with the demonic essence that stores fragments of ...

Dungeon Diver CH1020

Images of all these bursts of ether flowing into the lower zones simultaneously hit my consciousness, but an angry yell pounding in my mind catches my attention.

“What have you done? How is this possible?”

Marcellus’ voice still echoes in my mind.

All of his Demonic Essence is being digested deep below my origin body’s advanced primordial aura, saturating into the inner glyphs of my sacred body. The High Royal Vibrations, and all energy associated with the system, ha...

Dungeon Diver CH1019

All of the perfectly carved glyphs on the outer layer of this white orb break into unrecognizable pieces, exploding with the pure high-quality ether that pours out of its insides.

The wave of hot light is extremely dense, but the energy is not tethered to any killing intent or direct purpose. If it were, the shockwave would be devastating, but for Maria and myself, it’s like being plunged into a bath of pure energy denser and more pure than we’ve ever felt before.

The small wa...

Dungeon Diver CH1018

Sharp pressure showers down on the outside of my soul from all sides.

I can feel that almost all of my Advanced Primordial Aura has been suppressed again. The density of the chaotic aura becomes greater, and the weight of the demonic essence increases as well.

Layers of the glyphs around the outside of my soul are being stained purple, and the glitching sensation is beginning to course through my entire being. It feels less like a separate entity I’m trying to suppress, and more...

Dungeon Diver CH1017

When the memories glitch away, and I see Marcellus in full view again, the first thing I look at is the strong soul bond he still holds onto. It tethers to the space above this zone, where the memories I just witnessed showed.

“You still fight me like Lower Races were not all doomed the moment the Demons Took Control of the Upper Realm. You all even use the name we’ve changed it to in order to suppress the imagination of the new eras. Many would dig too deep if they knew it as its t...

Dungeon Diver CH1016

Ember appears in the memories of the past again, this time, bonded to a Demon with a stature I recognize.

It is the same one that showed up in the Demonic Legacy memories. The one who found the Creator's Legacy tomb, and built his own rendition for an entire race from scratch. It is the Demon that, ever since we arrived in the Green Zone of the Upper Realm, Ember has been hiding his presence from. The Demon Marcellus continues referring to as the Overseer.

Glitching images of this...

Dungeon Diver CH1015

A glitching veil of memories covers half of my vision.

I’m still completely conscious of the outside, able to move, and channel primordial fire into my wounds to heal myself.

However, half of my mind is being invaded with Memories from the Lower Realm in the patterns that only happen when I kill a target, and my true core’s ability, morphed by absorption, can devour their memories tied to their soul.

The overwhelming warmth and pure energy of the galaxy full of dense, hi...

Dungeon Diver CH1014

All of the Dense Black Demonic Essence that broke out from his Royal Demon’s Core fills this Demon's entire true body. His Divine Core tethers it all together, and it seems like both of these vital cores are on the verge of dispersing, but are held together by pure willpower alone.

The force of gravity at the center of his being is so unfathomably strong that the contents of his cores are taking a new shape and escaping death.

Every time he moves, I see more strange reflections ...

Dungeon Diver CH1013

Even as Marcellus stares down at us now, there is no fear in his eyes.

Fire crackles on his stump for a leg, and his arm and face are covered in an ice-like mirror that slowly chips more of his body away.

The demonic essence pouring out of his chest is the only substance that can heal this physical body of his.

It may be saturated by the chaotic advanced primordial aura being summoned, but at its core, it is still made of this purple crystalline structure.

It is the on...

Dungeon Diver CH1012

Every single Primordial Tree on the ground below is not affected by the waves of Advanced Primordial Aura clashing in the sky.

It moves through reality at a frequency far different than these living artifacts exist in.

Some exploding high-quality ether glyphs do create shockwaves that fall back into the physical realm, and stray waves of disconnected Demonic Essence tear up the ground when fragments back their way through. However, the majority of all this mass and energy is absor...

Dungeon Diver CH1011

The small white dot at the center of the ceiling grows, and the rank-up light pouring out of Ember’s body becomes so bright that it completely covers the sky.

Warmth even pierces through the silver threads holding this dome together, as they are all ether commands, divine energy, and primordial aura woven from his own clawed hands.

Every passing moment, it appears as though a white void descends from above.

Even the visuals of the purple zone I have collected from the many...

Dungeon Diver CH1010

The entire central domain starts to blend and clash with flowing auras that fight for dominance.

“I do not care what power the Creator’s Legacy has granted you! For my own path does not have to be bound by the laws of the system like yours. I will let chaos destroy the order you wish to create!” he yells down at us.

This does not only echo into our minds with the words he says, but the High Royal Vibrations bound to the growing chaotic Advanced Primordial Aura allow his inte...

Dungeon Diver CH1009

I press my newest buff, the [Primordial Emperor’s Origin Body] burning hot at the bottom of my status.

All of the extremely potent, refined Advanced Primordial Aura in the atmosphere becomes stimulated. For a moment, I feel a similarity in this form to the first time I activated my Astral Body.

It’s like the atmosphere around me can be expanded into infinitely.

It is the feeling I felt when my aura poured out, touching the walls of this domain, but now, I feel as though ...

Dungeon Diver CH1008

After the system command activates, for a moment, it feels like even the flow of time within this mind palace has slowed to a stop too.

The [Rank Up] alert disappears, and a refreshing feeling starts to spread out into the mental manifestation of my body.

It pushes out all of the distractions that were still tickling the outer edges of my mind. All activity in the rising Emperor’s interface fades away, all of the events that are happening inside the central domain where my actua...

Dungeon Diver CH1007

All of the chaotic Advanced Primordial Aura that is being summoned back into reality does not spread out to fill the atmosphere.

Instead, it swirls back around, seeping into the cracks of this Demon’s Crystalline Body.

All of the fracture marks glow bright orange and blue, and the deep purple form starts to look as though it's being flooded with chaotic colored dye.

His eyes, horns, and claws glow extremely bright, and all of his demonic glyphs begin moving in strange patt...

Dungeon Diver CH1006

Patterns of mirrored demonic glyphs appear all over the seemingly simple hexagonal array.

It turns from a plain primordial aura coloring to complex and distorted. Many of the chaotic glyphs that are mirrored are red and black, yet they are locked in place, unable to be released until the pressure of the attack is lifted.

This can either happen by the stress point of the mirror being pushed all the way in, and its daggers breaking through to hit the defensive array beneath it. Or, ...

Dungeon Diver CH1005

This Demon’s system text is chaotic, blue and orange, just like the waves of aura that pour out of his soul.

The Demon’s eyes, teeth, horns, daggers, and claws all glow with this same chaotic light; but his skin and muscles are very different.

It is like I’m staring into pure consolidated crystals of demonic essence. It is a deep dark purple, and the light of the aura bursting off of him shines through his body.

My subconscious replays all of the times I watched his sk...

Dungeon Diver CH1004

The white system text that was saturated with energy when this skill was upgraded to Celestial Grade in the Green Zone is completely saturated with a new aura.

The new [Primordial Grade] tag appears with a black and red metallic glow, flooding into the [Absorption] skill right beside it.

The aura pulses outward, and every single skill below it is forcefully upgraded, obtaining the [Primordial Grade] tag and glowing with the same violent yet serene light. It pours into all of the s...

Dungeon Diver CH1003

The budding Advanced Primordial Aura around us rapidly matures.

Before, it only showed sparks of this dense output, but it’s like the dam holding a reservoir back has finally broken; and now every single bit of Primordial Aura seeping out of our consciousness is turning into something completely different.

My High Royal Vibrations cannot escape the Isolation Barrier, but the waves that are still beneath, and now existing within the metallic red and black aura, grow tighter and s...

Dungeon Diver CH1002

I watch as all of the zones below me light up in perfect clarity, down to their last mana particles.

There are only small blind spots in the Lower Realm, but even they are being closed up as the moments pass. They connect together at the same rate the final domains in the outer settlements swear their loyalty to me.

As ancient Imperial Demons are killed by Elites and Lower Class world system users, new powerful forces rise from seemingly out of nowhere, gaining tens of thousands o...

Dungeon Diver CH1001

While the clash of Advanced Primordial Aura in the sky only becomes more intense, my perception of the rest of the Purple Zone becomes more clear.

The spread of links of loyalty in the outer settlements keeps speeding up.

I can see a perfect ring now, around the entire neutral zone. The demon-run land that connects to the ritual zones is already under my control. From my natural perception now, I can feel the entire central domain.

Instead of just around, the domains slowly ...
