F L A A A A A S H !
Chaos infused his powerful dark miasma into the large Dungeon Core, infusing all of his essences into it and slowly warping its entire being!
Like a virus that snatched the DNA of cells to infect their host, Chaos began to fuse the miasma into the Dungeon Core.
He quickly realized that this proved to not be as easy as he had thought, perhaps not as easy as it was with the small Dungeon Core that emerged near his Castle, where Erebus came from.
There was a powerful will hidden within this gigantic dungeon core, after having grown for so many years, its will was immense, almost as strong as his!
However, Chaos quickly gathered his soul and infused it into the dungeon core, and then activated the [Parasite] Skill through his soul, effectively parasitizing the will of the Dungeon Core and slowly devouring it from the inside out while taking over it!
A challenge? It was not at all!
"I commend you fighting back, but this is as far as you go," said Chaos, devouring the entire will of the Dungeon Core and rewriting it! Effectively making it reborn with a new and younger will.
FLASH!
The Dungeon Core suddenly turned black and purple, undergoing an evolution such as the same that Erebus' original body had done!
Everyone around Chaos was left in awe, Chaos was helping this Dungeon give the last step to evolve into a… Divine Dungeon!
TRUUUUMMM…!
The amount of chaotic essence overflowing from the Dungeon Core was enough to generate shockwaves across the entire Dungeon, the monsters inside were quickly enhanced by the Chaos, evolving into Chaos Variants.
Even more, it seems that the Dungeon Biomes changed, and the space that each floor had expanded several times, as new floors began to emerge, spreading across the Vast Wastelands.
Chaos connected his consciousness with the Dungeon Core and glanced at the entire Dungeon, all of its splendorous beauty!
"Amazing… All of this mine now," he thought, feeling prideful of his achievement.
Chaos decided to cut a piece of his soul and use Colony Connection to connect his mind and senses with it while using Parasite to make the soul fragment parasitize the entire dungeon core. This way, he could share the entire dungeon's senses, and in a way, the dungeon itself had also become a part of him, only a small one though.
For now, he left it as it was, feeling that he was done with his work.
"I've seen enough, I am satisfied," he said, as he suddenly consumed 100 million mana and used the shared power of the dungeon to create a special trap, a Teleportation Trap!
Teleportation Traps were a costly type of trap that could be created by a Dungeon Core, it teleported a target that stepped on it into a monster-infested closed room.
However, by modifying it, Chaos created a Teleportation Trap on the floor, which he was going to use to easily teleport anyone that wanted to get inside the Dungeon through this method!
After receiving a shower of praises from his devoted servants, Chaos crossed through the dungeon, leaving Teleportation Traps at the beginning of each biome, where there was a small territory that was usually not used by any monsters, and which he cataloged as "resting areas".
After that, he ordered the dungeon core to connect each Teleportation Trap with his own castle.
How? Well, he used the teleportation jewels to go back to his castle, and with the help of the "portable dungeon" that was Erebus, which he also made connections to the Boundless Abyss Dungeon, he generated a new Teleportation Trap inside the castle, right in front of the throne room!
This way, anyone that wanted to get in the dungeon could use this, but it was also a well-guarded one, as the throne room was usually guarded by powerful monsters and only those that Chaos allowed could enter.
After receiving yet another shower of praises from his fascinated people, Chaos showed the power of the new teleportation "gate", as everyone seemed more pumped up over the future of grinding and gaining more cultivation ranks through diving into this high-level dungeon.
After having come back, Chaos was told that he spent almost a whole week in the Dungeon, which he had not realized at all. It seemed that because he never slept nor anyone with him (not even Dura), they all felt as if it was just a very long day.
However, almost a week had gone by!
After a week of being off his castle, Chaos was pleasantly surprised with many of his servants having ranked up, some of them such as Ifrit, Lilith, Yuki, and Boxxy had already become Pseudo Demi Deities after slaughtering and eating many monsters within the Dungeon from Erebus' former body.
Additionally, there was a larger group of new apprentice craftsmen, alchemists, and chefs in the castle, and there were even some new groups of monsters that had moved inside!
Indeed, Ifrit and Lilith ended taming a large group of Goblins from the dungeon, powerful Black or Gray Goblins and Hobgoblins which were charmed by Lilith's Charm Ability or suppressed and submitted by Ifrit's strength.
The group of goblins was approximately around 92, and it had kept increasing until Chaos asked them to stop recruiting more and to better use the rest as food.
These 92 goblins, however, had not slacked off, as they were put into intense training sessions and even were made to study, learn craftsmanship, and alchemy, and some even had a knack for cooking, surprisingly.
As formerly brainless creatures, they had become more intelligent and were developing personalities and better thoughts. So Chaos had designed three of the most talented and intelligent of them as leaders, while also naming them and evolving every goblin with his miasma while he was at it…
All the Goblins evolved into Chaos Hobgoblins, while the Hobgoblins became Chaos Ogres, Black Oni, or even the rarer Hobgoblin Champions.
