"It would be a good thing to explore Terra now that things are better and conquer these Dungeons so Frank can get more power out of them, right?" asked Axitl.

​​

"Oh? Really? But I am okay with what the World's Core can give me… These Dungeons give you power, don't they?" asked Frank, he seemed to be considerate of Axitl and didn't want to take away her source of power.

"Indeed, but it is not like it will be stolen, you can conquer these dungeons and make them their own while I still share part of the power I acquire, just like with Orb. I still got a nice bite of her Divine Energy without her realizing, fufu," chuckled Axitl.

"Ehh?!" asked Orb in shock.

"Well, we already knew, don't act surprised," sighed Frank.

"Yeah but still!" said Orb.

"Still, I don't see what's wrong with it. Also, now that the major purpose of my dungeon is gone, which was to absorb the miasma of the planet's core, the dungeons will begin to not gain that much power now, and they will slowly become a hindrance to the people now that their purpose is gone… Perhaps sealing them would be a good thing, or making them your own Dungeons and making them sentient so they make sure to not end up letting people get killed," said Axitl.

"Hm… It is a tough decision, but will they stop making monsters and treasures without Miasma?" asked Frank.

"No, but in a couple of hundred years, they will begin to slow down, and maybe after 400 years or so they will completely stop producing monsters… Miasma was the ingredient that created them. I could feed them my own miasma, but I don't particularly want to. It is not like I require constant power to keep existing, I've accumulated a lot…" said Axitl.

"Oh, I see… but wouldn't it be good to get more so you can grow even stronger? There are even greater beings out there…" said Frank.

"That's why I am telling you to become their Dungeon Masters. As I told you beforehand, they will need miasma in the long run, and with miasma, they keep going, if they become your dungeons, like Orb, they somehow can acquire their own power even faster and more efficiently, through your system they can upgrade themselves too and access a lot of stuff as well… And because you ate the Miasma Sea, you possess something like a Miasma Origin or something inside of you, right? If you become their Dungeon master you can literally feed miasma to the dungeons. And unlike mine yours is way more and it seems to be able to regenerate," said Axitl.

Frank then realized that Axitl was trying to tell him! He needed to conquer these dungeons and share its power with her, and maintain them by adding them to his System and then giving them miasma!

It seemed that the Adventures in Terra would go for a little while longer, as not only Frank would have to explore the world and find the many civilizations, recruiting them into his religion to unify the world, while also looking for the other gods, but he will also need to conquer these dungeons.

"Can't you just make me the master of all of them immediately? You are maintaining them like an admin, right?" asked Frank.

"Maybe I am an admin, but I can't do that. First of all, it should be impossible to do, you did it thanks to your system," said Axitl.

"So the System helps me snatch dungeons, but you can't give it to me voluntarily?" asked Frank.

"Nope, your System seems like to steal things!" laughed Axitl.

"Hey! Let's upgrade again already…" sighed Orb.

"Oh, right, right!" said Frank, touching Orb and using her divine energy to upgrade her once more right away!

"Uwah! Here we go!"

FLASH!

Orb was once more covered by glistening light and gleaming sparkles of bright white and yellow light, rotating around and changing her quality and density, her power soared, and she gained a new Rank!

Ding!

[Assigned Dungeon Core: Rank 6 Dungeon Core: Orb] has Ranked Up to Rank 7!]

"Oh! I feel bigger now, though I am expanding underground," said Orb.

"Good work," said Frank, petting Orb as he checked her stats.

"Amazing upgrade!" said Frank, recognizing Orbs' great performance, she now had three whole biomes inside of her! Lava, Swamp, and Desertic!

"Each Biome is also beginning to spawn powerful Rank 7 Monsters too! If we upgrade ourselves some more with your divine energy, I am sure that everyone would reach Rank 10 soon enough! Maybe if I become Rank 10 I can create Rank 10 Monsters!" said Orb.

"Rank 10… Monsters?! Wouldn't those be as strong as the Demon King though?" asked Gwendolyn.

"Oh… Maybe? I don't think I can make something as big and pewful," said Orb.

"W-Well, that's how strong Rank 10 Monsters are, Orb…" sighed Vheslia.
