Chapter 105 | Reincarnated as a Dungeon: Farming Adventurers to Survive

Zeno paid no heed to the man-bodied spider's pleas for mercy.

Her mission was to win the war and offer this floor to her Master as a treasure; a mere verbal plea would not make her hesitate for even a second.

Realizing her pleas were futile, the man-bodied spider's legs trembled as she let out a piercing shriek.

At her cry, every man-bodied spider on the battlefield ceased their movements.

Under her command, all the monsters within the spatial cluster stopped fighting.

Only then did Zeno spare a glance at the restrained leader before her.

While the man-bodied spiders were not the strongest monsters, they seemed to serve as the brain for the entire spatial cluster.

They manipulated and directed the actions of every creature within it.

Even the powerful Spatial Spider Queen followed the commands of these man-bodied spiders.

An external brain?

Although the leader had surrendered, the monsters of the Well of Eternal Imprisonment did not stop their assault.

It was not until Zeno used her plants to restrain every enemy that the forces of the Well of Eternal Imprisonment received the order to cease fire from their Guardian.

However, even this did not mean they had captured the fragmented dungeon.

To truly claim a dungeon, one had to seize control of its core.

For now, the monsters of the Well of Eternal Imprisonment had merely dismantled the spatial cluster's ability to resist.

The next step was to prepare for the arrival of the Lord.

The leader of the man-bodied spiders, bound tightly by vines, watched everything in terror.

Any thought of resistance had vanished from her mind.

As an intelligent monster with the highest authority and wisdom in the spatial cluster, she possessed a significant degree of sanity.

Yet, as a creature born of this dungeon, she could not help but feel an uncontrollable sense of impending doom.

She could only struggle to suppress this overwhelming dread.

What were they trying to do? What would happen next?

Plants grew rapidly across the lifeless earth as Tongmu's main body descended into this world.

By its side, the Wyvern Leader and the wyvern knight legion stood guard.

The immobilized spider leader could only stare wide-eyed at the descending Tongmu.

She could sense a power emanating from Tongmu that was identical to Zeno's.

Under the watchful eyes of countless monsters from the Well of Eternal Imprisonment, Tongmu spread its power across the entire spatial cluster.

It was the absolute power of vision.

Taking the entire spatial cluster into its sight, every secret within this world was laid bare before Tongmu.

Feeling that gaze sweep through the world as if it could see through everything, the man-bodied spider leader finally understood why her previous battles had been so one-sided.

She realized why every move she made had been seen with such clarity, as if her every secret had been stripped away.

The more she thought, the less she dared to resist.

The power radiating from Zeno and Tongmu brought nothing but an endless, crushing pressure.

Once everything in the spatial cluster had been penetrated and mastered by that gaze, Dalun Li finally rose from his pedestal.

"As expected, it is not over yet."

Through Tongmu's vision, the core of the spatial cluster had been revealed.

It was a massive underground cavern hidden beneath the ruined earth of the spatial cluster.

The cavern branched out in every direction with countless tunnels of all sizes.

And every single tunnel was connected to a central point.

That point was the core of the spatial cluster and the heart of this fragmented dungeon floor.

Rocks had formed a crude underground palace there, housing a powerful energy.

Tongmu's sensory vision marked it in a deep, vibrant red.

"Just like when I dealt with the Dark Starry Sky, there is an ultimate boss guarding the core of this spatial cluster."

"However, it likely possesses no intelligence."

He could not use Zeno to defeat this ultimate boss. Just as he had handled the Remnant of the "Dark Starry Sky", he had to act personally to seize control of the core.

Although this ultimate boss was not as threatening as the remnant of the evil god, Dalun Li did not grow arrogant enough to fight with his own core.

Instead, he deployed the pedestal just as he had done before.

The orb rose from the pedestal, and the stone structure detached itself to form a physical suit of armor.

Dalun Li manipulated his plant power to grow a plant-based orb inside the armor, serving as the core to operate the pedestal.

Compared to the last time he had deployed it, the texture of the pedestal now appeared much smoother.

At the same time, it was larger, standing four meters tall. The patterns on the armor were exceptionally clear, glowing with a faint mana shimmer.

"Is it because my power has increased? As the floors of the dungeon grow, the power of the pedestal becomes stronger as well."

"But... it seems the current pedestal can no longer handle the full extent of my strength."

With a plant clone mimicking the plant-based orb as its core, the pedestal avatar could only exert about seventy percent of his true power.

Previously, the pedestal had been able to channel one hundred percent.

"Regardless, it is enough. I will simply treat seventy percent of my power as my current limit."

Dalun Li decided to subconsciously treat this seventy percent as his full strength.

Since he would never deploy his actual orb core to fight, his theoretical one hundred percent power would never be used anyway.

The pedestal descended into the world of the spatial cluster through the rift that had been torn open.

In an instant, every monster in the spatial cluster looked up.

The monsters of the Well of Eternal Imprisonment erupted in a frenzy, roaring with mad devotion at the descending figure.

That four-meter-tall figure seemed almost small in front of the massive monsters.

Yet its presence was something no one could ignore.

"What... is that...?"

The man-bodied spider's intelligence was insufficient to comprehend the entity that had just arrived.

Were the terrifying Zeno and Tongmu not even the peak of their side?

Could such a fearsome existence truly belong in a dungeon?

As an intelligent monster of the dungeon, the man-bodied spider felt a sense of incomprehensibility for the first time.

During this descent, Dalun Li felt no rejection from the spatial cluster; his power permeated the space smoothly.

'Is it because the resistance of this dungeon has already been conquered and dismantled?'

In other words, to devour a fragmented dungeon, one had to first use monsters to conquer it and break its will to resist.

Only then could he enter smoothly to complete the consumption.

As Dalun Li descended, the lava giant tortoises lowered their massive bodies to the ground.

The monsters knelt one after another.

The intelligent monsters lined up in two rows, suppressing their internal frenzy of worship as they stood respectfully to welcome him.

The wyverns landed, and the knights climbed down from their backs to stand at attention.

At this moment, not a single monster dared to commit the slightest transgression; they only wished to show their respect for the descent of that being.
