[CH399+ Continued] Dungeon Diver: Stealing A Monster's Power

Chapter 576

I pull a teleport crystal from my item storage and crush it in my fist.

The cloud of divine energy below me is impossible for me to pass through, so this is the fastest and only way down I can foresee.

A flash of light envelops my whole being seconds before the void of nothingness makes the very platform I stood on a moment ago disappear like it never existed.

My assumption is if I'm caught up in this too, I'll dissolve away and return to the real world outside of this construct; however, there are multiple reasons why I don't want to test this theory out for myself.

The first is in the case that it may not act the same now that the construct is disappearing for good. Being caught up in the dissolving mass isn't something I want to test out the end result of. Secondly, I want to leave through the rift itself to meet the association as a normal applicant and not cause any extra unnecessary suspicion. Lastly, I still have many things I want to do inside before it fades away completely.

As my body materializes down by the ocean shore at the top of the mountain where I left my teammates, I immediately locate them with my Rising Emperor's Domain.

They're all less than 50km away farming red cores on the cliffsides like it is just another day.

I let out an immense wave of telepathy that's enhanced by the yellow threads of divine energy surging through my body.

It calls for them all to come back to the platform, and that I have an urgent update for them.

At the same time, the purple threads that were creeping up my hand from the ring before now cover my shoulder, and are making their way over my chest.

They feel warm, but I'm certain they aren't harmful, and the energy isn't bonding with me or deteriorating my flesh like the green energy did before.

After a few seconds, I see my teammates making their way back toward me in my enemy detection skill and their geolocations.

None of them are in range to respond to me with telepathy, but they definitely heard my message.

While their points converge on me, the purple threads cover my chest, surround my core, and then start spreading all over my head and down toward the rest of my body too.

It feels like a warm skin-tight blanket is being wrapped around me.

It seeps into my eyes, covers my arms and legs, then pulses in a light purple hue before completely vanishing.

The bright glowing ring on my finger changes from a blinding attention-catching item to dark purple, similar to the massive crystal's original dormant color, almost black and not eye-catching at all on my finger.

The artifact has bonded with me and activated.

I feel the same high-pitched ringing sound that I did when Ember's limiter was placed on me, but instead of having to control my output manually, this limiter feels as if it's completely intertwined with my being and instincts.

Purple threads cover my body in a thick layer; however, they're completely invisible.

I look down at my chest, and even to me, it looks as if my divine core is completely gone.

I raise an eyebrow because it feels like I'm still able to use my yellow threads of energy at full power, and even turn to the ocean while pulling out my sword to test the theory.

In a single slash, I let out a yellow wave of energy, and my entire being pulses bright yellow, exposing the presence of my core for a split second while I let out the attack.
