[CH598+ Continued] Dungeon Diver: Stealing A Monster's Power

Chapter 628

Raven replies as I'm still lost for words.

"As much as I'd love to speculate if our ancestors left us a gift, or if the demons have fed us enough misinformation over the years to make ourselves crazy; it's best we talk about the more immediate problem at hand."

She holds up the silver device with eight glowing yellow gems and two stones that are clear and dull on the face of it.

Still, I don't give a response as my mind is still racing elsewhere.

Celia's old memories of demons taking over worlds, and Ember's words of the throne on almost every world he's lived on being captured by demons come to mind after Raven's statement; however, with so many sources giving similar yet flawed explanations for the same phenomena, I don't know what to think anymore.

Demons may have their eye on the throne, but clearly, humans have built up a force of strong hunters to fight for it too.

The fact that this organization, the Order, has supposedly been around even before this world was connected to the system makes me even more curious what Qi is in relation to the divine... and who these originators are that no one has any clues or solid facts about other than old poorly translated texts.

I finally nod, looking at the odd device in her hands and reply.

"Immediate problem at hand? What are you talking about... What is that device?"

She holds it up and points to one of the two crystals that are no longer glowing.

"These are the two members of the Order you killed... Remember how quickly I came to check things out after the disappearance of Mr. Freeman?"

She points to the second dull crystal.

"I'm surprised they haven't come to eliminate the threat already... It's best I send out a response now before one of the big three from Central comes to see what happened here for themselves."

My eyes widen slightly as she moves her finger toward one of the bright glowing yellow gems.

Our link of loyalty is still as strong as it was the moment her eyes opened, but the fact that she has direct calling access to what seems to be seven other Divine Core holders is still a bit unnerving.

I speak up as her finger hovers above one of the crystals.

"Who are the big three? And is everyone in the Order a True Core? Are there others stronger than you?"

She grins again.

"You really did just kill Mr. Freeman without asking him a single question, didn't you? One minute his core was steady, and seconds later it went out..."

She laughs, then points her gaze toward the device, so I do too and look at it with more detail.

"See these four? The crystals glowing a bit dimmer than the others? These are other members of the outer members of the Order. They have yellow cores awakened and are far more powerful than anyone in their respective nations, but they haven't fully compressed their cores. Everyone has their natural limits, not all people are capable of subjecting their bodies to this much pressure over time."

Her eyes move to the other four crystals, including the one her finger is hovering over.

"These are the only True Cores left in the Order. Myself, and the big three..."

She pauses, and the fact that she talks of them like this, and isn't a part of their close-knit group, tells me all I need to know.

Clearly, these three are the strongest in the world. The ones that run the Order behind the curtain, and from her earlier remarks, it's obvious they control the Association at Central headquarters as well.
