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

Chapter 694

"I thank you, Royal Vermillion Family Head." Andras replies.

Discussions peak again, while the Vermillion Family Head turns off his holographic transmission.

Andras turns his hologram off as well, then turns to stare out the window with his arms crossed.

Three dragons sleep at the far back of the room, undisturbed as their demonic pairs carry on with business as usual.

Down below, two ether orbs rocket toward the Ellipsia Citadel from a lower-realm transport point.

The first orb easily passes through the two security layers and halts at one of the city's access points, designed for visitors to sign in and for newly ascended beings to register.

Ember steps off his ether orb onto a large green platform in front of the city.

The access point is positioned between two massive towers, with a smaller archway—only 10 kilometers high—leading into a street that runs to the center of the citadel, flanked by countless other towers.

Notifications ring in Ember's inner ear as he walks forward, but a more alarming telepathic message captures his attention.

"It ejected me! This orb really just dropped me into the clouds..."

Ember can't help but grin at the absurdity of the claim ringing through his inner ear but replies in a semi-serious manner.

"Never a dull moment with you, is it? It probably couldn't get a full scan on your world token. You tried opening up that ring's barrier, right?"

"Yes! Twice. The pressure and gravity are way too strong. It's going to take me longer than just a few minutes to get used to this."

Ember considers some options for a few seconds, but another message comes blaring into his mind.

"Still falling, by the way..."

"It must be a result of keeping your physical body instead of a weightless energy form. It's going to be much harder to adapt."

A long sigh comes before the next reply.

"That makes sense. I'll just have to become strong enough to withstand the pressure with my real body. Where do these clouds even lead? Is it safe down here to train?"

"I'm not sure what's below the citadels anymore, to be honest. However, it should be fine, it's not like you'll fall out of the Upper Realm. If you're truly in a bind, I can follow you down there. But if I release too much power, we'll gain attention from the Overseer—or, at the very least, the local Citadel Lord."

There's no response for a few seconds, but a voice from below the clouds hits Ember's inner ear again.

"Alright... That wouldn't be good. I'll figure this out myself and message you with updates. Don't have too much fun while I'm away."

Ember grins while walking up to the green archway, raising both hands to be analyzed by rays of green light.

"Oh, don't worry. I'll scout the place out and keep a low profile until you arrive. I have a few errands to run anyway."

The wireless transmission ceases, and Ember raises the World Token from his palm.

However, instead of showing the surveillance arrays his un-altered body and World Token details, silver threads and waves of Ether manipulate everything these high-tech arrays see. Notifications echo through his mind as he walks right through the archway into the city.
