Chapter 1199: Combining Dungeon Floor Themes
"Is there not a way to combine the Floor Types?" I asked the Dungeon System. "There should be a way! I mean, as long as I use Dungeon Energy. I was even able to transform a piece of floating land into a sky island!"
[The {Dungeon System} is beginning to think about it...]
[The {Dungeon System} is analyzing the possible ways this could be done...]
[Analyzing...]
[Processing...]
[Running Simulations...]
[Analysis Complete.]
"So?" I wondered.
Alice was at my side, also expecting something. She couldn't control well the other Systems, so it was up to her "children" to decide what they wanted to do or check their own inner workings.
After all, most of them were "discarded" functions within her main system which she birthed as systems of their own, still fused to her, but distinct and not glitched like she was.
[The {Dungeon System} says...]
[Unfortunately...]
[That...]
"Aw, so it can't be done?"
[It can be done!]
"Oh?!"
[The {Dungeon System} says, however, that such a thing won't be cheap or easy to do!]
[It might take double or triple the amount of time that a Floor takes to be made.] [Now, they ask you, which Dungeon Types you want to combine?]
[This can only be done before selecting a Dungeon Type for a floor; therefore, all previous floors can't be changed.]
As I smiled, I noticed all my friends looking at me with expectations, wondering which choice was I going to take. It was naturally my responsibility to tell them the good news.
"Alright guys, looks like we can get two at the same time!" I said happily.
"Wow, really?!" Mist asked. "Nice! Tundra and the Cave then!"
"Like that we all win!" Zack agreed.
"I didn't know that was a thing!" Aquarina said. "But it will have a cost, right?"
"Yep." I nodded. "How much?"
[The {Dungeon System} says that it's going to cost 100.000 Dungeon Energy to combine two Dungeon Types in a single Dungeon Floor!]
"A hundred thousand?!"
I stepped a little before realizing I still had plenty of EXP to easily get that, but even then, that was a lot! I remember when things cost only like a thousand, or five thousand. But this is really going far. But at the same time, the cost is justified. Combining two types must be an incredibly tiring task.
[The {Dungeon System} apologizes but says this is the only way.]
"No, no, it's fine. I'll pay it. Let's exchange some EXP first."
I quickly did just that.
[You have exchanged 100.000.000 EXP for 100.000 Dungeon Energy!]
[The Dungeon Energy has been successfully transferred inside of your Dungeon Energy reserves.]
"Alright."
With that done, I quickly decided to begin the process.
"Let's start. Dungeon System."
[The {Dungeon System} nods!]
[You have chosen [Option 1: Tundra Type Dungeon]!]
[You have chosen [Option 2: Cave Type Dungeon]!]
[ERROR!]
[You can't choose two Options at the same time.]
[Admin Acccess granted to main System Synapsis.]
[Reconstruction basic functions...]
[You have exchanged 100.000 Dungeon Energy.]
[The two Options have been merged together into a single Option!]
[Option 4: [Tundra & Cave Type Dungeon]
[This Option has been chosen, and it cannot be turned back.]
[The Fifth Floor of the Dungeon has begun to be created based in these two Types of
Dungeons.]
[Creation Process has begun.]
"Let's go look, come, everyone!"
I ran downstairs with everyone and quickly moved all the way to the fourth floor's stairs. They led to a completely white, empty space.
However, this empty space started to be quickly filled.
Ding!
[Your Dungeon Dimension Fifth Floor has become a [Tundra & Cave-type Dungeon]!]
[An enormous rocky landscape has appeared. A giant bedrock that encompasses it all! Caverns open up, crystals and ores appear. The ground is rich, underground water reserves are already
very large.]
[Above the surface, however, different changes happen. The skies become completely gray. The clouds release snow, covering the landscape almost completely.]
[The bedrock shakes, eruptions emerge, large volcanoes appear, and then quickly become dormant mountains, covered completely by snow.]
[Rivers of frost water flow everywhere! Snow falls endlessly, giant ice crystals appear.]
[While the surface remains as a tundra full of snow and ice, the underground has become a rich labyrinth made completely out of caves.]
As the messages appeared, that every same thing happened. The spectacle was actually quite fast, although the System said it was going to take a while, it only took roughly forty minutes. But the spectacle was so incredible that we just sat down and watched it all happen while
eating some snacks.
"T-That was incredible, it feels like I just saw a world being born..." Mist gasped. "I don't think I'll ever forget what I saw, such a unique experience..."
"It was truly like a world being made." Zack nodded. "And you saw this happen every time with each floor, Sylphy?"
"Yeah, kind of." I nodded. "Well, yeah it was amazing, but you get used to this."
"I don't think there's anybody that has ever gotten their hands on a dungeon like yours." Celeste sighed. "Your System already is almost god-like in what it can do.... I am beginning to think that all the powers and abilities you got must be for a purpose, right? It can't just be
some random magic ability you were born with."
"A purpose?" I wondered.
Well, I simply couldn't just tell her I was mistakenly reincarnated by some random Reincarnation God because I had a "high Karma count" but because I wasn't from Earth, I was given the God's first ever creation, full of flaws.
"Yeah, I agree." Aquarina nodded. "I am sure that Sylphy's powers got a big purpose! Maybe she'll one day help us become finally free from the Gods, for real this time."
"I've done enough..." I sighed. "But... Yeah, I do have such a goal, for the very far future,
maybe."
I don't even know how I'll get to that point, but one of my goals is that.
To stop them from controlling this world. And maybe even to kill them. From Nephilim's memories I learned all the Gods were once similar to us, mortals that were given god-like powers, and slowly cultivated them to become what they are now.
It might be irrelevant now seeing how strong they are, but that by itself is a big weakness. It
means that they were never born with their power.
And therefore, it can be taken away.
