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

Chapter 734

[Days ago, in the Lower Realm.]

In the center of the Dark Continent, a final surge of energy pulses out from the throne before it goes silent, and strings of notifications ring through every single awakened human's inner ear.

[You have gained access to the World Wide Connectivity System!]

This is what happens once the mysterious ruler of this human world shuts off his [Spectate] feed and walks through the final doors at the top of the throne to ascend to the Upper Realm.

The three body doubles of the Flame Emperor lose their live memory feedback as the crystallized purple barrier limits all system-based energy from moving in or out of it.

However, being in contact with the main body of the ruler of this world is the least of the concerns right now.

The real urgent matter at hand is that over half a billion awakened all around the world have witnessed this event, and the world has begun to descend into chaos as the final surge from the throne has caused over half of the dungeons around the world to break again.

There is quite sufficient infrastructure in place thanks to the Association's network already, and just for being a link of loyalty, many lower-level hunters have received buffs and access to skills that allow them to fight at a much higher level than usual.

The echoing words of the four generals—Maria, Abby, Raven, and Arie—ring in the public's ears as they use a shared skill of the Rising Emperor to dungeon-walk and clear breaks with the commanders and Crimson Army all over the Dark Continent, 8 Great Regions, and Central City.

In less than half an hour, the final surge of breaks is easily subdued, and the world can concentrate on the hundreds of new messages appearing in their minds, which aren't just combat-focused.

During this surge, the skill-sharing interface was implemented by the generals to grant any specialized skill necessary to millions upon request.

However, there is so much more than just this feature available, and the public scrolls through these new databases within their systems to learn for themselves.

There are worldwide marketplaces where a system user can place any item they wish into a pseudo-storage system, and it appears for the world to see with a bid option and an instant buy price.

Almost instantly, members logging into this marketplace test it out and begin trading gear, food, and items for specified bronze, silver, and gold amounts.

Private trading channels are created as well to barter trade items for other items rather than just pure currency, and many specialized marketplaces are formed.

Some are divided up to only sell element-imbued gear, while others focus solely on shields and armor.

A few digital marketplaces have begun to form and only allow sellers in certain towns, regions, and countries where certain items are only found in these places. Outsiders can search for them to buy selective rare items.

Chat Rooms can be formed beneath every transaction, and the system user can decide whether to remain anonymous or display their full name.

The only ones capable of seeing the backend of this marketplace and user logs are the generals and the Rising Emperor himself.

Local forums are created in small cliques, towns, and even styles of fighters.

Dagger user chats are formed, sword wielders have their own message boards, and heavy tanks find their specialized groups too.
