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

Chapter 792

The Grand Citadel gets larger and larger, filling every corner of my vision, making the entire horizon and sky before me turn black the closer we travel.

The density of ether commands gets thicker too, but my unaided senses stopped being able to tell the difference tens of thousands of kilometers ago.

If I were to really try and examine my environment, I would certainly be affecting it by looking, and that's the last thing I want. I do not know who or what is keeping track of these commands, as there's a chance it's not an automated system.

Full minutes pass, and both mine and Ava's eyes don't stop widening.

I can deduce that whatever we're headed toward is actually a sphere.

It looks like a plain black wall now that we're closer, but when I first visualized it, the edges were faded, covered in the divine threads in the atmosphere.

This is only the fault of my own mortal vision.

The center portion is what I was able to see first, and the outer edges have become more visible the closer we get.

This means the further edges are, in fact, farther back than what is directly in front of me, so we are headed toward a curved wall at the very least.

Though, as we're arriving now, the curves are so subtle, most likely spanning over hundreds of thousands of kilometers or more, that it just seems flat.

I cannot tell if it is still an illusion, and we're still minutes or hours away from arriving, or if at any second now we will collide with the black wall.

It is quite ominous...

Yet both Ava and I stare forward and wait, watching as clouds pass and the dark black wall remains unchanged.

At the speed we travel forward, after almost half an hour passes, I'm sure we've traveled hundreds of thousands of kilometers forward, meaning the sphere before us is at least a million kilometers wide.

There are entire stars in the lower realm that are smaller than whatever this structure is.

I believed the Ellipsia Citadel was enormous, spanning the diameter of large planets, but thousands of them could fit inside whatever this is.

The name Grand Citadel is very fitting, and we still haven't even seen what is inside or any tangible differences on its surface to gauge the actual size.

That is, until minutes later, a new notification rings in my ear paired with a gentle upward shift in the ether orb's trajectory.

[Please prepare for a manual entry scan...]

The clouds around us move even faster, and even though the ether commands around us are so impossibly thick that there must be billions of dormant actions just within a hundred meters of this orb, I can visually make out a single line of ether that our orb follows up toward a selected point on the wall.

Less than twenty seconds later, our orb completely stops, and a bright white rectangle opens in front of us on the black wall.

My lack of concrete depth perception without using my advanced senses makes me second-guess if this is an enormous opening, spanning thousands of kilometers—that an entire citadel could fit through.

However, once the entire black section disappears and a Demonic Servant stands in its place less than 30 meters in front of us, taking up less than half of the doorway's height, I get a proper gauge of what is real.

Its bright green outline glows against the pure white background of this wall, and it lifts a hand to activate an ether command that takes control of our ether orb and pulls it closer.
