Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?-Chapter 1993: Assimilating Every Dungeon Core!
-----
CRAAASH!
In ten minutes, the wall shattered open. Glutton absorbed the debris, and we stepped inside. Alice created another System Seed—this one cost 30 million EXP. Yggdra infused her spiritual soul into it, and with Armageddon and Nephilim’s help, we refined the dark green core in mere seconds.
FLAAASH!
Ownership was swiftly overwritten. I became the new master of the dungeon. Easy.
Ding!
[Congratulations, you have successfully refined the Dungeon Core of the Swamp Shrimp Dungeon and made the Dungeon your own.]
[You have officially become the new God and Authority of the Dungeon, taking it from the previous owner.]
[Additionally, your Dungeon has created a new Floor including the Swamp Shrimp Dungeon and adding it to its repertoire.]
[The Floor will be connected to your Dungeon, and you will be able to access it at any time and bring whoever you want, but inhabitants of your Dungeon cannot enter it on their own unless granted special permissions.]
[You can now manage the Sub-Dungeon Floor, {Swamp Shrimp Dungeon}!]
[Do you wish to expand it? To add new monsters? To make it larger and more durable? You can use Dungeon Points for all of that.]
More Divine Power flowed toward me. With three Dungeon Cores now under my control, the energy connecting to me felt far greater than before.
"And it is done! I can feel my divinity rising. Let us continue."
The next targets were the Blind Fish Dungeon and the Goo Farm Dungeon. We decided to stop for the day after that and return home to rest.
The Blind Fish Dungeon consisted of more caves filled with a strikingly clear and beautiful underground river and lakes teeming with giant blind fish armed with razor-sharp teeth.
We caught plenty of fish to eat here and advanced without any major problems. Once we reached the chamber housing the core, I shattered the surrounding stone with a single kick.
Yes—it was underwater.
BOOOM!
Aquarina froze the water to prevent it from flooding the hidden room. After ten minutes of breaking through the Dimensional Stone, we jumped into the hole.
This dungeon’s core was noticeably smaller and had no guardian. Using a fresh System Seed that cost me 40 million EXP—already infused and transformed by Yggdra—we planted it into the core and rapidly refined it, rewriting its systems, ownership, and loyalty to me.
FLUOSH!
Four Dungeon Cores were now linked to me. I felt their power surging through my entire being. Their divine energy was an incredible boost to my growth—my Mana Heart beat faster, generating even more divine power and forging my divinities to ascend higher still.
Ding!

I quickly dismissed the messages as we pressed onward.
"Almost there... Let’s go for the last one! Thank you everyone for being so patient with me."
"It’s nothing, Sylphy. We’ve always been patient," Mist said with a gentle smile.
"It’s fun to travel together too!" Lara added cheerfully. "I’ve noticed something as well—when you take over the dungeons, the murky, strange energy around them vanishes and is replaced with much cleaner energy. It’s as if the miasma they relied on gets overwritten by pure spiritual soul energy."
"Really?" I asked. "It’s true that dungeons often form in places with heavy concentrations of Miasma... so my own dungeons are different from the classic ones the evil god spreads and controls?"
"Could be," Alice replied. "You also have to consider that Yggdra has fused with each core, making them part of her body and spiritual being."
"Right..." I nodded, gazing at the beautiful tree rising from the middle of the underground lake, guarding the core below. "Yggdra, how do you feel so far?"
"R-Really strong... I have never felt this strong before," she said. "And that is saying something when I have direct access to your boundless Mana, master. I feel like at any moment I could evolve into something entirely new... the line between my spiritual powers, my mortality, and what lies beyond is rapidly blurring together."
"Nice," I smiled. "Let’s go for the last dungeon—one we visited before that’ll bring a little nostalgia."
We headed straight to the final dungeon of the day: the Goo Farm Dungeon. This was the place where we first noticed stronger monsters appearing out of nowhere. Back then we hadn’t thought much of it, but now everything was connected.
Cursed and more powerful monsters had been driving out the normal ones, forcing them into weaker dungeons where they slaughtered low-ranked adventurers.
In the end, it all led to what we were facing today...
"There sure are a lot of them now!"
As we entered the damp caves filled with mushrooms, dozens of new Goos were already spawning everywhere—though they were still the weaker variety.
Pyuku, perched on Aquarina’s shoulder or head in his small slime form, watched the Goos in silence.
"They truly are like inferior, lesser versions of myself," he said with quiet awe. "I didn’t even know these types of monsters existed. How ugly. It somehow makes me want to kill them all."
"Woah, relax," Aquarina said. "Let’s just pass through..."
Yeah, that comment was unexpected. Was he angry at the Goos simply for existing? It wasn’t their fault they looked so silly compared to more uniform slimes.
It was like a human encountering an ape, getting mad at it for being an ape, and wanting to kill it... well, Pyuku didn’t actually try, but he did say he felt like it.
"They’re monsters anyway—it doesn’t matter either way, Pyuku," I shrugged. "Ah, is it here? Yeah."
We entered a deep secret passage—this time stairs hidden beneath a massive boulder.
A vast empty chamber opened before us. On the left wall, brushing away dust revealed a shimmering blue stone.
Fifty million EXP later, Yggdra’s infused power entered the System Seed. After we shattered the wall and my familiars assisted, the core was refined.
FLAAASH!
Five Dungeon Cores at once. They felt like small stars glowing at the center of my Soul, surrounding my Divinity like a nebula. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Nice! It’s done!"
I felt Divine Power coursing through my soul even more intensely than before. I just needed to sit down, let it settle, and refine it completely to make it my own, elevating my divinity even further.
"Yggdra, how do you feel—Woah?!"
I looked at Yggdra’s fairy form. She was glowing blindingly bright. The five Dungeon Cores appeared within her like five pulsing hearts.
"I-I feel very strong!" she cried. "I think I have to evolve soon, master... or I might explode."
"You what?!" I gasped. "Okay, okay, let’s do it now—screw it! Let’s go inside my dungeon first."
