After having taken Nyzzet's Dungeon for myself, I felt a stream of power rush through my being and soul and then deeply seeping into it, this was most likely the connection between one's soul and its dungeon. However, because I stopped infusing my authority in the middle of the process, Nyzzet did not lose the authority of the dungeon completely, so he can take care of it for me while benefitting from the Divine Energy generated there, which I cannot store inside of my soul yet.

Of course, I am still getting a share, and in a fact, a portion of the Skill Points I get every day comes from my own Dungeon Divine Energy, a small portion of it is then shared with all the other gods that own the dungeons that are merged with mine, such as Morpheus, Kaggoth, and Nyzzet soon enough.

Deciding to first glance at my new dungeon status, I asked the system to show it to me.

Ding!

Nyzzet's Dungeon is really something else… I think it is the highest-level dungeon that I have stolen up until now… Most of its Skills and traits levels are quite high, although some are quite lacking… Does this mean that even when a Dungeon Level is high, it does not mean that it will become exceptional at everything? I guess Dungeons are like people, it often specializes in something instead of trying to fill all the necessities.

Even in this world specialization is often the clue for success… though, on Earth, there were too many specialists, making finding a job incredibly hard. What Earth jobs needed were those that covered all kinds of jobs and had vast experience in many things… so the worker could be capable of adapting to the situations given.

I guess because I specialized in language and literature, I was never capable of finding a stable job, and as a young man in his mid-twenties, I did not have any experience to use as my strength finding Jobs… at the end, I began to work at a minimarket and simply gave up in doing anything else… Deciding to enjoy the rest of my life without asking for much other than playing games and enjoying Japanese entertainment media.

Hm, I do not know why I talked about that, it does not even matter now that I've become a being like me, but the amount of time spent in my previous life was way more than in this new one, so I often come to think things from such life before I was to reincarnate in Genesis.

"Mama! What are you thinking?" asked Nirah with a curious smile.

"Ah, just some meaningless things, anyways, now that I've gotten this Dungeon, it is time to merge it with the main one at home!" I said.

"Eh? Merge it? But how? They are too far away! Can you move a dungeon?" asked Nirah.

"Hmmm… Something like that. Let your mama show you," I said.

And just as I thought about it, a System notification appeared before my sight. My dungeon seemed as voracious as me, if not a bit more…

Ding!

[Wicked Bloody Labyrinth of the Devilish Demoness (Merged Dungeon)]'s Unique Skill [Dungeon Devour; Level 8] has been activated, however, it needs the Master approbation]

[Approve of this?]

[>YES NO]

"Yes"

Ding!

Ding!

[The [Dungeon Devour] Skill from the [Wicked Bloody Labyrinth of the Devilish Demoness (Merged Dungeon)] has been activated]

[Both Dungeons are being merged, please wait, and sit tight]

Boom!

"Sit tight… here it comes… a good thing that I told my family about this while we were here," I said.

"Huh? What?" asked Nirah, as just as she dropped her tiny question, the dungeon began to tremble intensively.

"Mama, is this an earthquake? Ah! Is a big monster approaching?" asked Nirah.

"No, my dear, the dungeons are merging, this tremor means that the two dungeons are expanding themselves across the land, reaching each other… as if they were trying to hold hands," I said in simple terms.

"Oh! I see! So that's how they merge?" asked Nirah.

"That's right- Oh!"

BOOM!

Suddenly, the expanded piece of the dungeon from within my Empire finally reached the vast plains underground, destroying most of the cave sections where various types of monsters inhabited, there were a few villages in the way, but it seems that the humans or demi-humans living in them managed to escape in time, although their homes were destroyed… I will send a few Slime Clones to bring them to my Empire.

Ding!

[The [Wicked Bloody Labyrinth of the Devilish Demoness (Merged Dungeon)] has devoured the [Nyzzet's Thunder Dragonoid Grand Labyrinth] dungeon, and both dungeons have been successfully merged!]

[The Energy of both dungeons is being shared, a dungeon expansion through the [Territory] of [Grand Forest] and the [Vast Plains] is going to take place]

[Expanding…]

BOOM!

And then, the last tremor happened, as both dungeons finally 'held hands' and merged through such connection…

This dungeon quickly began to be filled with a stream of energy and mana similar to mine.

"Is it done? It stopped!" said Nirah.

"Indeed, it is done now… Phew, I am quite used to the tremors now, but I can't help to hate it a bit, they're rather annoying… Anyways, time to see my dungeon new stats!" I said.

"Stats!" said Nirah.

"Gishiiii…" muttered Nirah's snake-headed tail, as it fell unconscious, it seemed to have been constantly scared after all the tremors, poor thing.

"Ah! Tail-chan fell asleep!" said Nirah.

"Maybe she isn't as strong-minded as you, Nirah-chan," I said while releasing a chuckle.

It is done. All the Skills leveled up… However, very few traits leveled up, I suppose I need to begin fusing even more dungeons to make a difference in traits, as they are already quite a high level…

I noticed that I have stockpiled a ton of Dungeon Points, much like Skill Points, these points can be used for things in a dungeon… such as buying special items that enhance the dungeon in various ways, buying even greater dungeon expansions, and I think I remember seeing Dungeon Skills and Traits Shop, alongside a Gacha using these points…

I remember having Gacha Tickets but those were given to Zehe, the summoned creatures from those tickets were rather strong beings that now serve me in the army, I remember deploying a few of them in Geggoron's war. But most of the time, the summoned creatures are not as strong and are often simply converted into citizens.

Perhaps if I were to summon instead of Zehe, I could have a chance to summon beings with powers similar to me? Well, this is a whole different thing though, as summoned beings are not as easy to get as simply creating items… right? Unless there are a System Gods of Summon or Gacha? Nah…

There is one for rewards from the system, but not for something like Gacha, that would be way too ridiculous. …I hope.

There was also another interesting thing in that the Monster Reincarnation Cycle Skill reached level 10 and then awakened into the Monster Soul Samsara Skill… Does it mean that it has become something greater? I wonder if there is any Dungeon that has even awakened their skills, to begin with. I mean, all these dungeons are thousands of years old and had barely reached the levels they had… I do not know if it is true, but perhaps I am the first one to have ever found a way to merge different dungeons…

It is rather simple to guess, gods would not simply cooperate and give away the thing that gives them the most resources in Divine Energy so they can merge and form a bigger one… and I also suspect that they might not even know how to do this, to begin with.

I only acquired this ability because my first dungeon, the Bloody Sacrifice Dungeon absorbed by Soul Quality and some of the powers of my Devour Skill, and acquire the ability to devour other dungeons and then merge with the ones 'devoured'.

I mean, is there any other dungeon like this? Well, there is the Dungeon Combination Skill or something, but that Skill is not for dungeons to combine, but it is for the dungeon to combine with the environment while growing and expanding.

I should ask Agatheina and the other Gods about this in more detail… But for some reason, I feel like this dungeon was simply not enough, I want more dungeons to fuse too, I feel like if I ever manage to reach level 100 in my dungeon, something big might happen…

And what about something else? What if I… eat the dungeons? Or perhaps merge them with me? Could it be even possible? I cannot really think of a way that wouldn't involve expanding like a mass of flesh while trying to gulp down a dungeon, but it would cause too much destruction, and the main dungeon is right around my Empire, it would be too dangerous and recklessly stupid to do something like that…

I can now eat Legendary and Phantasmal Rank weapons, but I doubt that I can eat anything beyond that, and the materials of Dungeons… might be way higher than Phantasmal Rank. For now, I contain my own voracity and well, that of my dungeon as well, which seems to have slowly become a living being of its own due to the hunger it has after inheriting some of the power of my Devour long ago and then leveling up to Level 9…

The next dungeon might bring it to Level 10, and perhaps, if another dungeon is added afterward… what would the Dungeon Devour Skill evolve into? Damn, I wish I had that skill, but I cannot find a way to take it out of the dungeon or anything at the moment.

"Mama! Let's go up! I wanna have dinner, I'm hungry! Tail-chan is hungry too! Although she's still sleeping" said Nirah.

"Ah, right. Very well then, let's go," I said, as I walked back to the Boss Room, meeting my family and friends, and enjoying a nice dinner with everyone.
