Chaos walked outside of his castle as he reached a giant hole, around 30 meters big that had emerged in his backyard.

​​

"We had not entered it yet as we desired our Lord to do so first…" said Yuki.

"I see…"

Chaos glanced at the abyssal hole as he noticed a series of spiraling stairs that went downwards, and began to walk through them as the rest of his group followed him from behind.

"Interesting, judging by everything… it seems to be a high-level dungeon… Although it seems young, and cannot compare to the Boundless Abyss Dungeon- Ah, not that I am saying it is a bad dungeon! I am sure that my lord will be able to create even stronger ones soon!" said Belphegor.

"Don't worry, I also believe it can't compare, but it still an interesting thing to explore…" said Chaos, as he rubbed his hands over the paved ceilings. The dungeon seemed like an underground tower, it was paved with gray and black bricks, and long spiraling stairs were leading down.

"I can't believe this was just made out of my lord's pure miasma… Such a beautifully crafted design" said Abyss.

"Dungeons are like that, they are magical and living organisms that take such forms to entice people to enter and fall to their deadly traps and monsters. This way, dungeons can get nourishment in the form of their decaying corpses and souls," said Belphegor.

"I wonder… What about the monsters inside the dungeons?" asked Chaos.

"They're also used for their nourishment! They are primarily created to defeat invaders but as they multiply, they also create a stable resource of energy for the dungeon, which makes most of them self-sustainable. However, with that alone, they won't be able to grow bigger, so they require to devour what enters them," said Belphegor.

"So even dungeons want to grow stronger," thought Chaos, as they reached the last stair and they were greeted by large, paved corridors illuminated with torches, that led through several halls.

Chaos quickly activated several cognitive and sense-based Skills, scanning the entire dungeon area through them. With this, he began to quickly discern most of it, although there were still some places he needed to fill up.

Unlike the Boundless Abyss Dungeon, this Dungeon seemed not so big, having up to ten floors that went below, where there was a large room where a large beast seemed to rest, additionally, Chaos noticed some kind of presence below that as well, which he assumed might be the Dungeon Core that his miasma spontaneously gave birth to.

"I wonder if I am the father of this dungeon?" wondered Chaos, as everyone around him suddenly fell silent.

"That's… right…" said Lilith.

"My lord… you're a father already?!" asked Ifrit.

"Perhaps we can adopt the Dungeon Core and make a family, my lord!" said Abyss.

"Well, this is awkward…" said Yuki.

"A-Anyways, my lord, it seems that monsters are rushing at us," said Belphegor.

They had been walking around for a few minutes, and when they reached almost the end of the first floor, a sudden wave of monsters began to rush at them from all the surrounding corridors, as if they had come late to the party.

Perhaps this Dungeon Core was a bit clumsy… An experienced Dungeon Core would have sent monsters strategically and right away! But this one clumsily sent them all out of the sudden.

Or maybe it was a surprise attack of sorts? But everyone sensed the monsters, so it wasn't a surprise at all…

"GRRYARR!"

A large wave of dozens of Goblins suddenly emerged, but they were different than the green-skinned variants, as they were gray-skinned and charcoal black-skinned. Their eyes gleamed with crimson-red light, and their bodies seemed way stronger than usual goblins.

They raised their weapons, which seemed made of black rock and infused with some spirit stones, releasing some fire and wind elements from them.

"Interesting… Black and Gray Goblins? Are these variants due to this dungeon being made by my lord?" wondered Belphegor.

Chaos, however, flew towards the Goblins while flapping his draconic wings. He decided to fight on his humanoid form this time, as he quickly activated several skills at the same time, mostly those of self-strengthening such as Orc's Strong Physique or the Giant's Skills. Additionally, he loaded himself with the Nether Wyvern Skills, as his entire body gained armor made of black scales, two new pairs of wings, and another tail!

His claws grew even bigger, as he coated them in several skills, like fire, winds, spectral energies, and chaos attribute mixed together into an aura of pure darkness!

The Goblins seemed mind-controlled by the dungeon, so they could not escape out of the utter fear they were feeling and jumped right into their deaths!

CLASH! SLASH! BOOOM!

Chaos claws pierced through the goblins armies like a warm knife through butter, his tail pierced their brains and made their heads explode out of overloading them with deadly poison, and his very presence began to make some of the goblins instantly die out of fear… Others were paralyzed in place and Chaos used his nether breath attack to melt them into a puddle of blood and flesh, while the most fortunate ones were those that died instantly, of course.

In ten seconds, the entire wave of monsters was slaughtered, and Chaos glanced at the loot… a lot of corpses. He remembered that Belphegor had said that Dungeons gave riches and items, and other things, but he didn't get any of that, he also remembered that he didn't get anything in the Boundless Abyss Dungeon either.

"P-Phenomenal! A-Anyways, do you want me to grill them for you, my lord?" asked Belphegor.

"Sure, let's eat them and continue," said Chaos.

Chaos ate all the goblin corpses in around three minutes, Abyss had eaten a few too, but she didn't want to take away the food from her lord. It seemed that not many wanted to eat, to begin with, and Chaos was most of the time the only one that was always with appetite.

He began to realize that perhaps the All-Consumption Skill made him always hungry…
