To enter it, one needed the bracelet of the commander. It contained the most precious object of the entire hideout—Cross Tunnel Formation..\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same bracelet could also order the cross tunnel formation to rise from bottom of the room to just below basement. With another order, the bracelet could set off a controlled space explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Tsk.' Varian glanced at the heavily fortified room and the rather fragile ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'They're desperate enough. That's why they're dangerous.' He sighed and checked the basement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In locked safes, there were various star treasures, and a few… explosives?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian grasped the thin coat embedded with shiny red stones woven into a functional circuit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'This is a suicide jacket.' He recalled his mission in Virgin Dungeon and recognized the hooded figure logo on the jacket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Shadow Order.' He took a deep breath and put them all into his ghost ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space inside was too huge and his storage didn't seem to affect it at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian climbed up onto the ground floor and encountered several Level 3 Abyssals standing in front of holographic boards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shuaa!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They collapsed in a flash and he analyzed the contents on the boards, or at least tried to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His comm was broken during the fights in Lost Dungeon and Varian wasn't proficient in Abyssee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boo patted its chest and translated the text.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They're apparently missions!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>1. Yun Xiao: Level 2. Age 17. Hidden Genius. He would enter the Dungeon alone today. 15 points for the hunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>2. Blake: Level 1 peak. Age 16. He is from a poor family but strong values. He performed well in his school test and is a seed candidate of the school. He'd enter with his Level 3 peak teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>40 points for the hunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>3. …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Holy shit!' Varian felt double déjà vu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, he already found such reports during his entrance test. Second, these mechanisms were too similar to his academy's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed the hologram recorder, and frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Just how deep is their intelligence network. How do they deploy their spies?' He thought and finished off the remaining Abyssals in the ground floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he climbed to the first floor and then, the second. The Abyssals on both floors died gasping for breath as blood gurgled out of their necks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first floor consisted of several office rooms. Logistics. Emergency Meeting. Brainstorming Lounge. Break Room. Infirmary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second floor had resting quarters of the Level 4s and Level 5. There was also one official room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The largest room in fact. It could only be authorized by a Level 4 or Level 5's bracelet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian stepped into the room and gasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the fuck is this?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of him, multiple holograms played out displaying almost every section of the Dungeon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some adventurers were hunting a magic beast. Other adventurers were ambushing fellow humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lucky teenager found a good herb. An even luckier girl found the key to a special location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of adventurers were resting after a hard battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of these were utterly visible to the Abyssals here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, are these people stalkers?\" Boo seemed bemused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... they're creeps.\" Varian replied after pulling himself together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Incredibly dangerous creeps.' He added inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Varian used the Commander's bracelet and assumed the control of the surveillance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was almost all over the Dungeon. For reference, a low dungeon was as big as a large country of old earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The extensive surveillance might have shocked people of old earth, but in 520 YAB, it was a normal thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But installing surveillance without adventurers noticing would be impossible.' He noted and then realized. 'So there was surveillance from the very beginning.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abyssals were indeed the masters of these Dungeons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But with everyone here dead, the remaining abyssals in the dungeon would soon panic. Nice.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian disabled the surveillance and entered the ghost ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a few seconds, they reached a white barrier—the ending of the dungeon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the cabin, Varian glanced at the forty bracelets and frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had an idea on what to do with them, but doing it now would be too early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boo, go to the next low dungeon.\" Varian ordered. Then, he recalled something and added, \"Make sure it isn't going to vanish anytime soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it! We'll be reaching 'Arrogant Young Master' Dungeon in 5 minutes.\" Boo declared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was currently in stealth mode and passed by the hover cars without alerting the radars or surveillance satellites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian opened the newly constructed bathroom and undressed before dipping into the hot bath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the warm water washed his skin, he sighed in comfort. \"Peace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[For five minutes.] The System's mechanical voice seemed to growing ethereal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But still, it was annoying. Its timing was even more so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Will you die if I relax for thirty minutes?' Varian rebuked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, what's wrong? You're grimacing?\" Boo's voice sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Increase the temperature and stop talking.\" Varian closed his eyes and submerged himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a brief period, he experienced 'nothing'. His mind was blank, and he felt an unprecedented peace of mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he resurfaced, he finally sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>25th, Prime Month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It's been around 40 days since I was lost in the dungeon.' He clutched his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I missed the first month's test. But it's not my fault per se.' However, it still worried him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But if the Charles bastard or Narcis insist, then it wouldn't matter at all.' That was his biggest obstacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I'll be kicked out, no questions asked.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I guess my tutor can help out.\" He muttered and then recalled the girl with the biggest background he ever encountered. \"Sarah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But still, the story he had to weave for disappearing for 40 days was too much, and Varian wanted to crush a dozen more Abyssals to calm down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he needed to go. 'I shouldn't wait any longer. But does 1 or 2 days difference matter now?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Host, it's alright to vent.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The System said, suggesting he should continue his raids instead of going to the academy right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian didn't answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The System changed its voice to a more feminine one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ara~ Ara~ Host, it's okay to vent.] The same words, but the meaning was totally different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"System, stop it! You're freaking me out!\" He roared as a chill ran down his spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yes, host.] The System went back to its normal voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boo listened to his roars and thought. '...you're the one freaking me out.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian dressed himself and looked out. He was still trembling from the trauma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, we're almost there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As usual, the ghost ship easily skipped past the detection mechanisms and stayed hidden from the battalion guarding the Dungeon perimeter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It shrunk and soon rushed into the blue gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arrogant Young Master Dungeon, here comes Varian!\u003C\u002Fp>",1192,"2026-06-06T07:58:11.287Z",1,"novelbin.me","2075791342b24253f96f598256d632fe513ec1d99e84a7a45f738148ce9c2b32","divine-path-system-chapter-168","divine-path-system-chapter-167",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
