There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 346, The Dungeon Collapses, Divine Core, Facing the Gods, Stubbornness

Shortly after.

Xiao Yang walked step by step, his heavy steps leaving bright red footprints, into the ruins.

In the center of the ruins.

The scarlet crystal emitted a hazy, faint glow.

At first glance, just from its appearance alone, it is clear that this thing is extraordinary.

Cast a probe spell.

Divine Core

Quality: Mythical

Description: A perfect treasure chest formed from the convergence of three or more points of divinity, one that would make everyone's heart flutter.

The target was the little guy kneeling before the divine core.

Step by step, Xiao Yang soon appeared in front of him.

From a distance, he thought the little man was kneeling in worship of the divine core and the beast of plunder and conquest that lay prostrate on the mountain.

In reality, the beasts of plunder and conquest have already awakened at this point.

He was looking at Xiao Yang, his eyes filled with malice.

It was extremely malicious, but it stopped at that malicious gaze.

What is particularly noteworthy is...

A silver arrow was deeply embedded in his left eye.

He lost sight in one eye.

The dungeon did not actually collapse; before the dungeon collapsed, there was nothing He could do.

We're getting closer.

Xiao Yang discovered something.

"The little man is not worshipping the floating divine core and the beast of plunder and conquest at all, but a statue carved from wood."

A figure carrying a powerful bow and leading a hunting dog.

I cast a probe spell and got this name.

The God of Mountains, Forests, and Hunters

The name of yet another deity has appeared.

Large dungeons are indeed often frequented by these high-ranking individuals.

However, it seems there's something wrong with the mountains and the god of hunters.

The name is extremely somber.

"No, no."

"This god of the mountains and forests seems to have some connection with the beasts of plunder and conquest."

Xiao Yang saw something somewhat familiar in this statue.

"Muddy sludge".

It was very little, but it was there, wrapped around the wooden statue.

It's not just this wooden statue that has this kind of sludge.

Its large head was on the bound beast.

"There's less on the wooden statue, but more on the bound beast."

"This black mud is the poison of faith."

The last bit of confusion has been partially resolved.

All that's left is this short guy.

"I think it's time to end this cycle."

The words were repeated.

Xiao Yang did not treat the short man too roughly.

He simply gazed at it and spoke calmly.

This time, there was still no answer.

Clearly, that long-held obsession is not so easily resolved.

But he had no choice but to persist.

The rules of this dungeon are becoming increasingly difficult to maintain.

Xiao Yang played a significant role in this.

The massive dungeon in Happy Valley is about to collapse.

The game keeps popping up prompts.

[Dungeon collapse detected]

[Dangerous fluctuations detected]

[Dungeon Invaders activated]

Amidst the constant alarms, the prompt for the Dungeon Invaders to activate this feature is the most eye-catching.

The Dungeon Invaders are incredibly domineering.

Whether you clear the dungeon normally or cause some kind of chaos that leads to its collapse.

"I don't care about any of that, just give it to me!"

That's its attitude.

The beasts of plunder and conquest, crawling on the ground, roared madly, disregarding the dissipating dungeon rules that bound them.

A frantic struggle ensued. Not far away, a dazzling point of divinity appeared in Xiao Yang's hand.

This is the source of the rage of the beast of plunder and conquest.

Its struggles triggered a violent reaction to the collapsing dungeon rules.

At the critical moment of his release from prison, he was dealt a heavy blow by the rules of the dungeon.

The frantic struggle turned into a painful, weak wail.

Xiao Yang was naturally delighted by this situation and watched with glee as it unfolded.

At this moment, the double-headed mask on his face was not completely broken.

This active, one-time use artifact gave the Crimson Slayer an edge.

Xiao Yang was unable to put on his helmet.

However, it must be said that wearing this two-headed mask really amplifies the mockery.

No wonder this beast of plunder and conquest went into a frenzy.

After the final, devastating blow, the dungeon's rules could no longer be maintained, and it shattered with a deafening roar.

The misty fog that had enveloped the valley completely dissipated.

During this process, Xiao Yang saw some scenes that had happened in the past.

Some of the events recorded in the dungeon rules were reenacted before his eyes.

A chaotic town, townspeople like wild beasts, a mayor who colludes with bandits, and an impending ritual.

A short man who had just lost his father was selected.

Faced with these people who, in a very short time, became strangers and frightening.

He was terrified.

They were placed on the altar.

Even though not much time has passed, everything has changed in an instant.

The flames ignited, and there was pain, excruciating pain.

A pair of eyes stared blankly at everything happening in front of them.

In the sky, streaks of colorful light, gradually distorted and twisted, greedily peered at everything.

Until an eye rose far into the sky, an eye made entirely of metal.

Xiao Yang recognized the eye.

It's something I'm very familiar with.

He had even used them himself.

"The Eye of Peace".

However, the Eye of Sleep rising in the sky in this scene is clearly more powerful.

The distorted and twisted gods fell from the sky, crawling on the mountain peaks and howling in agony.

Blood flowed from the gruesome wound.

The blood flowing from the gods extinguished the flames, and the divinity that was extracted coalesced into that scarlet core.

A thin, frail figure emerged from the flames.

It stood before the crimson core, its lips pursed, saying nothing.

Soon after, the dungeon of Happiness Valley appeared, and it has remained so until Xiao Yang's visit.

Finally, the missing parts and content were filled in.

It's really great to have this feeling of figuring everything out.

"I never expected to witness the goddess unleashing her power in another dungeon."

While saying this.

The beasts of plunder and conquest are now completely unrestrained.

It was struggling to get up little by little.

It seems that the moment he gets up, he's going to become the king of trains and send Xiao Yang to heaven.

But no problem.

Xiao Yang wasn't very flustered.

He turned his head back.

At this moment, the short man in front of him remained silent, his lips pursed and not uttering a word.

Xiao Yang was speechless at this.

Why insist on this point for so long?

With such determination, what can't you achieve?

These words echoed in my mind, but I ultimately didn't say them aloud.

Witnessing such perseverance and determination, even if it seems absurd, still evokes a sense of admiration.

Although he didn't understand whether this was persistence or a stubborn pursuit born of fear after some kind of maladjustment.

But one thing is certain.

his words.

"I can't do that."

If it were him...

“Kill these guys, and then use the power of this divine core to find or build a place of happiness that you can identify with.”
