At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier

【Time has come, the seal on the dungeon is lifted.】 Artoria's majestic voice, filled with divine power, resounded from the top of the Tower of Babel, echoing throughout the entire Miracle Mountain Range, causing all the extraordinary beings who had come here to tremble.

hum~

The seal on the dungeon has disappeared.

"We're going down, Commander!" Allen said, jumping directly into the spiral staircase leading downwards, with the third- and second-tier knights following closely behind.

One after another, squads of extraordinary individuals nervously rushed into the dungeon.

"The dungeon is open! Let's go!"

"Hahaha, here I come, dungeon!"

"A dungeon, haha, it's just like being in another world!"

Teams of extraordinary individuals from various countries quickly entered the underground city. The entrance to the underground city was over 500 meters in diameter and had hundreds of spiral staircases leading downwards. Unless someone deliberately caused trouble, it would not cause any congestion.

"Everyone, keep up with me and don't fall behind! Also, be careful, we don't know what's going on in the dungeon," Lin Yong said seriously.

"Understood!" everyone replied in unison.

While shouting as he overtook the Xia Kingdom's team, Mimi Hibiki shouted, "The dungeon that often appears in light novels, here we come! Members of the Genius Society, let's smash through the dungeon with lightning!"

He was followed by a group of extraordinary individuals from Japan.

After spiraling downwards for more than seven thousand meters, the superhumans found themselves in a massive cavity over ten kilometers long. Countless rock caves dotted the rock walls, their destinations unknown.

The blue-green fluorescence emanating from the rock walls slightly illuminated the cave.

These densely packed caves are the entrances to the first level of the underground city. The deeper you go in the underground city, the larger each level becomes. The first level alone is larger than the city of London, and it contains countless intricate caves.

Click click click... Waaaaah...

The sounds of arthropods twisting their joints and the whistling wind coming from the dense caves chilled the spines of all the low-level superhumans, even dampening their excitement.

Chapter 140: At this moment, the star level is being boosted, and the Teyvat dimensional portal is being fixed.

"What a huge cave! So many entrances! Which way should we go?"

"I don't know, everything in the dungeon is unknown."

"Never mind, let's try one first. Anyway, it's pretty much the same as in the game novel. The top level is definitely full of weak monsters."

"Yes, we will explore layer by layer, and if we really can't go any further, we will retreat."

"We must remember our route carefully. The underground city is dynamic and may change the route of the caves."

The number of extraordinary beings in the giant cave was increasing, soon exceeding ten thousand. Ninety percent of them were novice-level extraordinary beings who could not use elemental power.

After discussing their plans, the numerous teams of extraordinary individuals nervously headed towards the chosen cave.

Lin Yong led the team into the cave and said calmly, "Everyone, don't let your guard down. Don't think that just because you're very capable, you can take the upper dungeon maze seriously."

"Don't worry, Brother Lin, we're not that stupid. We know that even a lion has to go all out to hunt a rabbit." Erica rubbed the wristband on her wrist, as if the fiery red lines of a circuit board were spreading across the entire wristband.

"Although I am best at gravity-based combat, I have also put a lot of effort into hand-to-hand combat."

"With this Tier 4 bracer equipment on my hand, I can hold my own even against opponents who are a level higher than me."

Mo Cheng sighed, "Tier 4 equipment? It's a pity there isn't any suitable for me yet. The research and development speed of the Academy of Military Sciences is still too slow to keep up with our progress." As he spoke, he touched the two 'pistols' at his waist, which were equipment that used his own elemental power to attack.

However, since it's only at the third tier, the boost it provides isn't as significant as before.

When he is fortunate enough to reach the fourth tier, the enhancement from the third-tier equipment may not even reach 10%, so it will make little difference whether he has it or not.

“Stop complaining. It’s too difficult to manufacture equipment that is compatible with third-tier or higher superhumans. It also needs to be small in size, which is difficult in itself. The biggest problem is the materials.” Fei Xue shook her head and said, “If the strength of the materials is improved, the Academy of Military Sciences will be able to truly achieve controlled nuclear fusion.”

Mo Cheng chuckled and said, "Still researching controlled nuclear fusion? The elemental forces in the world are already infinite. It feels like taking off your pants to fart."

“The government must have its reasons for doing this,” Mark said.

Click click click click...

The sounds of arthropod activity in the cave grew increasingly intense, and everyone in the team became serious, their elemental energy forming a radiant glow that flowed across their bodies.

The cave walls cracked, the fissures widened, and scarlet eye-like features appeared. Accompanied by hissing sounds, one after another, small, humanoid monsters rolled out.

With gray skin, sharp teeth and claws, and large eyes with pupils flashing a savage red light, it resembled a goblin from another world story and pounced on them as soon as it fell to the ground.

call out--

Erica raised her head and flicked her finger, sending a peanut-sized fireball piercing the monster's head. The monster's head exploded and it fell to the ground, its body quickly turning to ash. A peanut-sized blue crystal landed in the ashes.

"Resources dropped!" Erica exclaimed, rushing over to grab the crystal in her hand. Feeling the energy contained within the crystal, she was somewhat disappointed: "The energy index is very low, not even a little bit, maybe only 0.1. I don't know what this thing is for."

“Take it back for further study, then we’ll move on,” Lin Yong said.

The group cautiously moved forward, and the further they went, the more frequently monsters appeared, including other types of monsters. They walked for an unknown amount of time before reaching a downward passage.

Shortly after they entered the passage, they appeared in a larger cave, and the monsters were stronger, but not by much; they were still easily killed with a flick of their elemental power.

The top floor of the Tower of Babel.

Holographic projections appeared one after another, each one representing the real-time monitoring of a team of superhumans.

Los Saint sat on a rattan chair made of grass elements, crossed his legs, and scrolled through the holographic screens with great interest.

"We've already reached the ninth level in less than two hours. The first ten levels are for 'Awakened Ones' who don't even have any abilities, while the eleventh to twentieth levels are for entry-level superhumans who have abilities."

"The first twenty floors are a free-for-all for those who can use elemental power."

However, there is a boss-level monster every 20 floors. The boss on the 20th floor has the strength of a peak second-tier superhuman and also has extremely strong regenerative ability. A peak second-tier superhuman cannot defeat it in a one-on-one fight unless it is a third-tier superhuman or a team of three second-tier superhumans.

The underground labyrinth has a total of 120 floors. Starting from the first floor, the area of ​​each subsequent floor increases by 10% compared to the previous floor. The first floor is the size of London, and by the time the 120th floor is reached, the area is two-thirds the size of the entire island of Great Britain.

The 21st to 40th floors correspond to second-tier transcendent beings, while the boss is equivalent to a peak third-tier being.

The 41st to 60th floors correspond to third-tier transcendent beings, while the boss is equivalent to a fourth-tier peak being.

The sixty-first to eightieth floors correspond to fourth-tier transcendent beings, while the boss is equivalent to a fifth-tier peak being.

The 81st to 100th floors correspond to fifth-tier transcendent beings, and the boss is equivalent to a peak sixth-tier being.

Floors 101 to 120 correspond to sixth-tier transcendent beings, while the boss is equivalent to a seventh-tier being.

"Currently, sob sob... the strongest group of superhumans in the world... slurp, at most they can only, slurp, only reach the seventieth floor." Artoria was on the table, holding a bowl bigger than a washbasin, showing off her spaghetti.

Los Saint looked at Artoria and said, "However, this is without them joining forces. If they join forces, they can last until the boss battle on the 80th floor, but they won't be able to defeat the boss."

Watching Artoria gracefully and quickly dazzle the noodles, Luo Sheng rested his cheek on his hand with a slight smile on his lips.

Since Artoria returned to Britain, the Knights of the Round Table have been responsible for providing her with three meals a day.

Artoria's three meals a day are not ordinary food, but extraordinary plants. Originally, these kinds of extraordinary plants were relatively rare, but as a result, 5% of the entire Britannia ended up in Artoria's stomach.

The once very wealthy Knights of the Round Table were now worried about their expenses. However, they did not think that it was because their king ate too much, but rather that they were too useless. If they could not even fill the king's stomach, it would be their dereliction of duty.

"Master, would you like some?" Artoria saw Los Saint looking at her with a smile, so she quickly sat up straight, picked up a bowl the size of a face plate, and handed it to him.

"Eat as much as you like, I'll pass." Luo Sheng shook his head and casually swiped to change the projection in front of him.

The number of people who have entered the dungeon has reached 50,000, which is a pitifully small number for the dungeon.

Although it has been a short time, a huge variety of industries have already formed around the Tower of Babel. In at most six months, it will become a super city built around the underground city economy.

On the outskirts of the small town at the foot of the Miracle Mountains, merchants from all over the world are building urban infrastructure, while inside the town, the sounds of machinery operating and blacksmithing can be heard incessantly.

This is a small workshop from the Xia Kingdom that manufactures extraordinary equipment. They are creating all sorts of equipment. Most of these are just substandard, first- or second-tier items, and there are no third-tier items. The difficulty of creating third-tier items is too high for the small workshop to handle.

Extraordinary individuals from all over the world are commissioning these small workshops to customize their own equipment.

In addition, there are hospitals, taverns, and other public facilities specifically for people with superhuman abilities.

The noise and haggling were constant here.

By this time, some superhumans had emerged from the underground city. They were all ordinary first-tier superhumans, and each of them was exhausted, with their clothes torn and red blood clots still on their bodies.

Even worse, some unlucky souls were carried out of the dungeon by their teammates while seriously injured, and others had broken arms or legs. These seriously injured people were basically clueless about their own abilities.

"Doctor! Help me! Help me! A monster has ripped my stomach open!"

"Waaaaah, my hand, my hand is gone... I should never have chased that monster."

The unlucky guy who appeared in the plaza beneath the Tower of Babel instantly calmed down those who were originally planning to rush into the underground city and wreak havoc.

Dungeons are trials for the gods, offering both opportunities and dangers; it's not uncommon to lose your life there.

Meanwhile, the first team of superhumans to enter the dungeon has already defeated the boss on the twentieth floor.

They were all elites from various countries, generally at the third tier. The first boss, though surprising to them, was not difficult.

"My god, the twentieth floor is actually a super monster at the peak of the second tier. There's only this one monster on the entire floor, it must be the boss."

"The previous nineteen levels were all around the first tier, and suddenly a peak second tier appears. What else could this be but a boss?"

"This person has a magic stone the size of their head, with a very high energy index, reaching the third tier. I just don't know what it's for. It's almost overflowing my backpack."

"That minotaur boss is ten meters tall, how could it not be big? And it can use a stone club. Even a third-level superhuman would vomit blood if hit by it."

"I threw away all the little magic stones I picked up before. All of them combined don't seem to be worth as much as this one."

The Xia Kingdom team discussed the battles and recorded the types of monsters they encountered along the way, and soon arrived at the thirty-first floor.

Boom! A burst of fire erupted.

Erica punched a five-meter-long lizard with barbs all over its back, smashing its head open and sending it crashing to the ground.

"The monster's strength has increased by one level." Lin Yong frowned.

"The monsters are now at the second-tier high level. It seems that the monsters increase in strength by one level every seven floors, and a boss of a higher tier appears every twenty floors."

“The monsters before only attacked at close range, but now they can shoot electricity and fireballs, and even become invisible.” Mark gritted his teeth, holding something in his hand, and squeezed it hard, causing the green liquid to burst open.

Snap, plop—

A one-meter-long green lizard appeared, its long neck already snapped open, its body crashing to the ground.

“If our guess is correct, the monster boss on the 40th floor will most likely be at the peak of the third tier, and the one on the 60th floor will be at the peak of the fourth tier.” Lin Yong frowned. “With our current strength, if we don’t take any risks, we can only reach the 50th floor at most. We will be in danger if we go any further.”

“By the 50th floor, the monsters are already at the mid-stage of the third tier. With so many of them, even I will have a hard time fighting them and won’t be able to take care of you.”

He is only at the early stage of the fourth rank. The monsters only have the instinct to kill and no self. He can kill enemies one level higher with his skills, but this is one-on-one. He will be less effective against groups of monsters.

He only has a little over a thousand energy points right now, and dealing with groups of monsters consumes far more energy than he can recover, making it easy for him to fall into a passive and difficult battle.

Mark said, "Then let's head back after we defeat the boss on the 40th floor. Our mission this time is just to explore the specifics of the dungeon."
