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

Chapter 736

I look out the massive one-way glass window, overlooking the entire Ellipsia Citadel. The view stretches far into the endless green clouds beyond the edges of this floating city in the sky.

A familiar warm tingling sensation pulls at the back of my consciousness, connected to the strongest link of loyalty I have back on my home world.

Instead of waiting any longer, I open the half-created telepathy channel and speak directly into Maria's inner ear.

"Getting to a safe place to call took longer than expected, but I made it. How are you? And what's the general status update of things back on our world...?"

Her voice returns immediately.

"I'm fine... better than fine. We're all okay. We won our battles. But—Jay! You went dark for days... Where'd the throne take you?"

A warm feeling rushes through me hearing this, and it certainly isn't any new system upgrade or extra power.

I let out a long breath I didn't even know I was holding in. A weight of worry is lifted off my shoulders as I deactivate my conceal skill, making the horns and facial features of Drako Vermillion fade away.

My pristine ethereal Noble Human form lights up the room now, still representative of my true face. I activate a two-way [Spectate] feed while I reply.

"I made it to a place called the Upper Realm. This is the Ellipsia Citadel. Our reach among the stars will become far greater than we ever imagined possible."

The same mind-blowing visual of thousands of towers, endless clouds, and an in-depth perception through my Noble eyes for over 100 thousand kilometers in every direction is projected into Maria's mind.

In return, I receive a visual feed of everything within her senses too and see a strange sight of the other generals and massive piles of wealth filling rooms all throughout the Apex Regions base.

While this is intriguing, my vision stays fixed on Maria's core. It looks even darker blue, and a large amount of her active strength and stats right now is working on full power to contain this Soul Energy within the confines of her body.

There is a massive amount of Mana and Qi acting as if it has an insatiable hunger. Even with my eyes as they are now, the true depths of this core are a strange mystery to me. It's like it simultaneously wants to devour all of the energy around her, while also wishes to release an overwhelming amount of power from within.

It feels like the deeper I look, the harder it is to sense, as if the royal blue light is turning black. It makes me wonder if it's because I'm trying to look through a simulated hologram, and if I were there with her on the human world, I could make sense of things better.

I continue talking, as all I get back from sharing my view is silence.

"You've grown much stronger..."

–

Her eyes widen, and she reflexively gasps at the enormity of the sight before her.

She replies to me through our link.

"You have grown too... much stronger..."

Heads turn in the room within the Apex Region headquarters, and Maria whispers her next words aloud for all of them to hear.

"Jay has made contact. He's safe...."

Arie, Abby, and Raven all stop sifting through their system messages and message boards to request access to the telepathy channel we're on.

New faces pop up one by one, and everyone linked to my senses is able to see the same mind-blowing sight of a city many times larger than the entire world they stand on.
