Darius Supreme

Chapter 312 - 312

"At once, Father." Solena replied as she bowed. 

The child AI began to work, eventually taking up the task of managing the connected HoloBraces and machines. This greatly relieved Miranda, who preferred to use her main processing power to assist Darius directly. 

"Activate all these robots, please." Darius requested. 

Solena waved her hand grandly, all the Critterbots and Guard Androids coming to life slowly. The lines that ran in their exterior designs came to life with a blue light. It looked quite amazing, and Xela was absolutely mindblown. 

"What are your orders?" Solena asked calmly. 

"Clear out the entire settlement. I shall provide building materials for a complete reconstruction. Miranda, please compile the best possible construction method using these resources according to the knowledge in our Database." Darius instructed thoughtfully. 

"Will do." 

"Okay~!" 

The two holographic renditions of his daughters disappeared as they got to work. Darius walked to the warehouse with Gunner and Xela emptying their Inventories of the necessary resources while keeping those meant for other things behind. 

This cleaned out about 30% of their total space, enough to make the duo feel relieved. Once they exited, Darius noted that the Critterbots were bustling about dismantling the entire place while the Guard Androids helped. 

After all, they were fully humanoid so with the right tools, they could do the same work. The difference was that the Critterbots were made for this sort of thing and could manifest all sorts of tools to make construction swift and easy. 

"Well then, let's see how our dungeon is doing." Darius suggested with a smile. 

He teleported them just a few hundred meters away to where the dungeon stood. The Critterbots had seemingly left some small shrubbery around the entrance, although it could also have been manifested from the dungeon's element. 

Darius Analyzed it and observed if there had been any meaningful changes in the last two months.

Darius was stunned, and so too was Gunner after reading the shared details. They clearly remembered that the original core had less than 250 Amateur monsters, less than 150 Journeyman monsters, and less than 50 Adept monsters. 

As for bosses, it used to only have one per floor, yet the first and second-floor bosses had been basically retarded. Only the Adept boss, Shopablo, used to have some level of sentience. 

Now, it had thousands of them! Heck, it even had over a thousand Adept monsters! 

No Basic Dungeon in the entirety of Faust had that much - at least, of the dungeons that were known - which was why Darius especially was floored. 

Darius knew that dungeons created monsters and set up their floors using Elemental Energy that they had gathered. The Soul Energy that was gained after people died within was solely for the core's own growth, which was why it sought after people. 

It would use Elemental Energy to create monsters and rewards, then gather Soul Energy from those who were dead. People would gain riches and useful material imbued with Elemental Energy while they would provide Soul Energy in case of death. 

It was a cycle imbued into the Laws of Faust. Every core had a fixed amount of Elemental Energy per grade, so that was why the layout within never changed by increasing or decreasing, because they would always have enough to sustain things perpetually. 

Dungeons couldn't really be rundown or exhausted per se, hence the infinite resources attribute. 

However, looking at the changes here, Darius' face became solemn. He understood that he had, once again, created a great anomaly with his elitist Transmutation ability, a Dungeon Core beyond others. 

Heck, at the Basic grade, its numbers already rivaled that of an Intermediate Dungeon! 

A typical Amateur heading inside, prepared to farm 200-400 monsters, would be frightened to death upon encountering the endless waves and the 5 bosses on just the first floor. 

A Journeyman who would have curbstomped the thousands of monsters would go on to the second floor and pale at the sight of over 2,000 monsters, all at the same stage as them, ordered around by three bosses. 

Even an Adept who could have swept away the thousands of monsters away with sheer power was bound to shit their pants in front of more than a thousand Adept monsters with Shopablo smiling menacingly at them. 

This dungeon was a 100% effective death trap against lone wolves! 

For other Basic Dungeons, it was the norm to enter as part of a 5-man group. However, doing so for this one would be suicide. Darius estimated that around 50 experienced Amateurs could stand a chance to survive. At a minimum, it might require 20 peak Amateurs for just the first floor alone. 

In essence, Darius had seemingly created Faust's first Raid Dungeon. 

The most important thing right now was to investigate the layout of the dungeon, so Darius turned to Gunner who understood. The large lad took Xela with him into the dungeon to gather information about what was happening inside. 

Xela's Elementary Psychomancy should allow her to communicate with the core. As someone with a more positive and gentler mind, Darius was sure she would be better received than he. 

With his Branded Servants busy, he moved a short distance away and noticed that a pack of wolves were rushing over with red eyes. 

They weren't even looking at him, fully focused on the dungeon's entrance like it was a naked beauty offering them a way to paradise. 

Darius simply stepped aside and let the fellows pass, realizing that this was likely how the attraction worked in terms of pull. It was less of a mind control situation and more of a suggestion or temptation. 

He used his Transvection to levitate slightly off the ground and then entered a mediative pose, looking like a sage who was ascending into a higher state. 

However, he did not close his eyes but prepared himself to perform the biggest thing since he came into Faust, the culmination of his plans over the past 5 years!
