The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　Dolores Stark is a very famous hero in the history of the war between humans and demons.

　She once bravely prophesied the destruction of the demon race when humanity was at a great disadvantage, and personally went to the front lines to boost the morale of the soldiers.

　Although she was ultimately assassinated by a demon assassin, her death thoroughly ignited the rebellious spirit of humans and demi-human soldiers.

　"Dolores Stark is the name of my original self in my memory. She was an astrologer from the Star Tower who once foretold the destruction of the demon race. Of course, I don't mind if you call me Dolores."

　Dolores Stark said calmly, with a hint of pride in her voice.

　Although it doesn't consider itself Dolores Stark herself, it is still proud of it.

　However, it only went as far as being touched.

　They were also well aware that the Dolores Stark before them was not the original Dolores Stark resurrected.

　The monster bodies replicated in the dungeon are significantly different from real human bodies in their core structure and cannot be confused.

　Her name is still engraved on the Heroes' Monument inside the Star Tower.

　The professors were all moved upon hearing the name.

　For the deceased, this is perhaps a form of blasphemy.

　Therefore, deciding how to deal with these monsters is actually a very difficult decision.

　Dolores Stark is historically known as the Revelation.

　If her "resurrection" were announced to the world, it would inevitably cause a huge storm in a short period of time. But once people realize the truth, there is a high possibility of a backlash.

　Because of the existence of the monster Dolores Stark.

　The Ice Bird's original form was a harpy that lived in the extreme cold. It was not human, but the guardian of a small human country, protecting its people in the harsh environment for hundreds of years.

　The original experience of the Eight Treasures Spider Woman is very similar to that of the Ice Emperor Bird. However, it guards the forest spirits and was once regarded as a totem by the forest spirit tribes.

　As for the Pig Man and the Medusa, they were originally orcs, and each was a hero in the orc race's positive propaganda.

　Professor Sylph took a deep breath and said, "We'll talk about Stark later. If I'm not mistaken, none of the rest of you need to hide your identities. Why don't we just say it all at once?"

　The remaining monster bosses exchanged glances and then began to speak.

　This is also the main reason why they are sitting here.

　In other words, the other four captains who chose to escape were all originally villains!

　The dungeon is so vast that if the four captains intended to hide, even the professors would find it extremely difficult to search out of the corners.

　In other words.

　The six high-ranking members of the Abyss present were all originally positive figures.

　They don't need to hide their identities, nor do they need to worry about being mistreated because of their original identities.

　In this way, both parties have gained a mutual understanding, which is more conducive to the subsequent negotiations.

　The golden mermaid Esalia Patus first explained the reasons, process, and purpose of establishing the Abyss Organization.

　It all began several years ago.

　Their choices were not particularly wrong in themselves.

　After the monsters introduced themselves, the professors also briefly introduced themselves and their names.

　In short, it survived after that and broke free from the dungeon's control over monsters, leaving the boss's room by its own will.

　At that time, it was in the stage of rapid memory recovery, and its personality was also rapidly approaching that of the original owner—a girlish temperament that was completely consistent with its appearance.

　It wandered around crying, because it had killed monsters out of fear. It had tried to capture and keep monsters as pets because of loneliness, but later it wandered into the reception room and found the stairs leading to the upper floor.

　Professor Kazel and his two companions ventured deep into the dungeon during their vacation in search of the Golden Mermaid's Tears, eventually discovering Esalia Patus in the boss room on the 120th floor.

　After a fierce battle, Aisaliapatus was captured alive.

　It deliberately omitted what happened afterward.

　It learned a lot of information it didn't know before from that monster, and learned how to disguise itself.

　Later, it met the strategist Dolores Stark and began to have the idea of ​​building a power for the first time.

　Dolores Stark had been considering how to ensure her safety upon returning to Earth, and the appearance of Essalia Patus presented an opportunity for her.

　Only then did it realize what kind of world it was in.

　It subconsciously began to climb upwards, feeling that if it kept going up, one day it would be able to escape the underground city and return to the surface.

　But when it struggled to climb to the ninety-ninth floor, it encountered its first monster that had awakened its own power.

　Professor Sylph smiled slightly upon hearing this, but did not say anything more.

　Aisalia Patus glanced at her and continued, "Although we are not strong enough now, we have enough sincerity, so..."

　Professor Sylph said slowly, "State your demands."

　"In short, our initial purpose in establishing the Abyss Organization was to gain leverage in negotiations."

　Aisalia Patus said very frankly.

　“We never intended to oppose the academy from the beginning. We learned that more monsters were awakening in the dungeon, so we gathered them together. Only by building a strong enough group can we negotiate with the academy on equal footing, instead of being crushed like ants on a dinner table.”

　"Hmm?" Professor Sylph frowned slightly.

　Aisalia Patus quickly replied, "Of course, it's relative freedom."

　Professor Sylph then said, "You will need to leave the dungeon and come under the academy's jurisdiction. In return, the academy will provide you with what you need. After review, you will also be granted some freedom. As long as you cooperate sufficiently, we will consider your opinions and give you preferential treatment."

　Aisalia Patus pursed her lips and said, "Safety comes first."

　Professor Sylph nodded and said, "This is the foundation."

　Aisalia Patuston breathed a sigh of relief and tried to say, "Then freedom."

　The conversation between the two sides quickly progressed.

　From the very beginning, the monsters never intended to fight against the academy.

　This is key to making the conversation go smoothly.

　Aisalia Patus couldn't help but look at the others.

　Seeing that none of the higher-ups objected, Aisalia nodded and said, "It's acceptable in principle, but the details need further discussion and a contract needs to be drafted."

　Professor Sylph eventually agreed to provide them with shelter in the dense forest and to gradually open facilities such as the Traveler's Street based on the results of the review. However, the monsters must wear limiters made by Professor Kazel and cannot have too close contact with the students.

　In addition, there is actually a large number of awakened monsters hidden in the dungeons.

　Dolores Stark, the strategist of the Abyss, possesses the special ability to search for those monsters.

　However, the Abyss Organization has in fact split into two parts. Those who remain here are the ones who chose to surrender, while the truly difficult ones to deal with are the ones who left.

　However, Aisalia can also provide a detailed list regarding that part, making it easier for the academy to search and process it.

　The entire conversation lasted three hours.

　However, the reason why this situation occurs is actually due to the absolute strength of the college professors.

　Moreover, under Professor Cazell's supervision, no one was allowed to lie.

　"I hope our cooperation will continue to be pleasant."

　Professor Sylph plans to establish a department under the Academy's jurisdiction to replace the Abyss, receive these monsters, and provide them with corresponding jobs to take on the responsibility of searching for them.

　With this as the core, both parties drafted a provisional agreement and signed it on the spot.

　The whole process went so smoothly that one might suspect the person being negotiated with was a monster.

　Reaching an agreement with the Abyss Organization was actually an unexpected bonus.

　Dark and his group did not initially enter the underground city for this purpose; they were unaware of the existence of such an organization.

　Their true purpose is to find the root cause that awakens the monsters' true nature.

　Professor Sylph tidied up the contract and said calmly, "Now, let's move on to the next step."

　What they were standing on was not a hidden room, but a hidden space!

　Hidden space and hidden room differ by only one word, but they represent completely different things.

　Professor Sylph was quite surprised when she heard this.

　After reaching an agreement with the Abyss organization, they finally obtained clues about the "Root".

　The clue was actually right under our feet.

　The Abyss organization's base is ostensibly located in a hidden room, but that is not actually the case.

　Aisalia said, "It's just ahead."

　It's definitely right ahead.

　After putting away the contract, they left the conference room with Aisalia and the other monsters, and then continued deeper into the area.

　Aisalia led the way, saying, "Just as you are searching for the reason that awakens the monsters' self-awareness, we are also searching for the reason that awakens ourselves. We call it the Root. The reason we chose to build our base here is because it is the closest place to the Root that we can find. The mechanism of the hidden space allows us to cross the levels of the dungeon and get closer to the Root, but we still cannot reach it."

　"How much further?" Professor Sylph interrupted it.

　A chilling aura was emanating from the end of the cave.

　Aisalia turned around and whispered, "Come with me!"

　move on.

　As soon as Dark heard those words, he took a step forward. Suddenly, his vision changed, and he entered a cold, dark cave from a modern passageway.

　He was startled and suddenly realized that Lily had grabbed his hand.

　The professors stopped almost simultaneously, their expressions solemn.

　Dark clutched his heart, and the sound of his enormous heart pounding suddenly echoed through the cave, causing the hearts of everyone inside, including the monsters, to gradually beat in sync with his.

　His blood flowed rapidly as if it were about to boil, and a rosy hue appeared on his skin.

　Just three minutes later, the so-called source appeared before everyone.

　—That's a giant heart hanging on the mountainside!

　Everyone's complexion quickly returned to normal.

　Professor Sylph took two steps forward, and asked in surprise, "This is the root of what you're talking about?"

　Aisalia nodded and said, "However, it does not actually exist here, but is merely a projection like a mirage. It is fortunate that it is so, otherwise we would not be able to get close at all. Once we get close to it, we will not be able to help but kneel down before it. It is as if everything in our bodies is given to us by it, and we will not be able to help but offer ourselves to it."

　"Snapped!"

　Suddenly, Aisalia clapped her hands, and the huge pearl on its head began to spin, releasing a curtain of water that blocked everyone's view.

　The water curtain began to pulsate rhythmically, but this reduced the impact of the massive heartbeat.

　The hidden space transcends social classes, allowing them to see the projection of their roots and making them realize their own insignificance.

　"On which floor is this giant heart projection located?"

　"And where is the actual projection?"

　As she spoke these words, Aisalia's legs trembled, and she was clearly trying her best to control them.

　The other monsters were no exception; if they continued forward, they would likely pounce on the giant heart, prostrate themselves, and give up their lives.

　Even if it was just a projection, they couldn't help but be drawn to it.

　With his current strength, he has no way of making contact with him.

　Pride-1

　A system notification suddenly appeared before my eyes.

　Dark stared intently at the heart, his desire to find something related to "God" to complete The Great Sin 4 quickly fading away.

　The divine power contained in the statue of the Moon Goddess in the secret passage was so faint that it made him think less than cautious.

　The "god" hidden in the dungeon is clearly more complete.

　"A tiered boss?" Lily was taken aback and asked suspiciously, "Why do you think the heart itself is a tiered wave, etc.?!"

　Lily's eyes suddenly widened, and she hugged Darke tightly, exclaiming, "Oh right, it's a level boss!"

　Since all the level bosses in the St. Marian dungeon are projections of historical figures who have left important marks, why can't they be gods?

　A thought struck Dak, and he couldn't help but smile.
