really!

Li Si looked at the information on the system panel in front of him and nodded in satisfaction.

The expertise and other gains obtained this time were numerous and quite useful to Li Si.

The special ability [Abyssal Demonization Adaptation] enhances Li Si's resistance to the power of the abyss, which will be of great help to Li Si when he enters the Endless Abyss in the future.

The special ability [Forging God's Body] likely originated from the divine power that surged and impacted within Li Si when he controlled the artifact [Pastrum's Stomach].

This further enhanced Li Si's already strong physique, and also granted him resistance to divine power.

This will greatly help Li Si in his future attempts to condense and master divine power.

The special ability "Legendary Treasure Hunter" has a somewhat dramatic connotation.

The 1% probability is actually quite low, and it's difficult for Li Si to rely on this specialty to turn the tide of battle.

However, Li Si's talent [Omnipotent] can reduce the limitations on Li Si's control over extraordinary items and equipment.

I wonder if this could be combined with my expertise?
After gaining control of the artifact [Pastrum's Stomach], the effect of the feat [Artifact Master] was also enhanced.

The value has increased by 10%!

More importantly, the note that this feat's effectiveness is halved when facing artifacts has been removed.

This greatly raises the skill ceiling!

The specialties [Solo Combat], [Divine Adaptation Enhancement], [Legendary Mental Barrier], and [Poison Master] are what Li Si gained after fighting four legendary dark elves.

These correspond to group combat ability, divine favored ability, bewitching and control magic ability, and assassin ability, respectively.

Moreover, the bonuses from these specialties are generally quite powerful.

Even with Li Si's current stats being abnormal, this will significantly improve his combat power, making him more versatile and perfect.

As for the milestones and skills that followed, Li Si didn't pay much attention to them.

He now possesses far too many similar abilities, but it's clear that they exhibit distinct characteristics of dark elves.

As for the secret realm crystals of [Forbidden Fortress Donovan], they are unsurprisingly another god-tier secret realm instance.

Um~
Players have a new, grueling dungeon to endure!

However, besides these gains in his expertise, Li Si had two more important gains.

These are the artifact [Pastrum's Stomach] and the surge in understanding of the rules.

While wielding the artifact [Pastrum's Stomach], Li Si experienced the high-level rules within the artifact.

That is undoubtedly a more powerful, near-perfect set of rules than the legendary domain that Li Si currently controls.

With the help of the [Wisdom] realm, Li Si's understanding of rules has been greatly improved.

In addition to the rules of devouring, sealing, and digesting the core of the artifact, it also mastered many rule domains related to the power of the abyss.

And it starts in the legendary realm!

This was a completely unexpected and delightful surprise for Li Si!
Cool!
Li Si nodded in satisfaction, but he knew very well that this matter was not over yet.

That's enough about the dungeons and the dark elves for now; he still has internal troubles within the Pan-Continental Mage Association to deal with!

Outside the dungeon entrance,

Li Si looked at the drastically changed entrance to the underground city and shook his head slightly.

I never expected that Rose the Spider Queen would leave behind such a big problem.
Is this one of His purposes?
In fact, not long after the underground city war ended, another unexpected situation suddenly occurred.

It was at the place where Donovan disappeared from the Forbidden Fortress that that the bottomless pit suddenly appeared.

After dealing with the dark elves and the forbidden fortress of Donovan, Li Si sent Adela and the others back to the elven realm.

His plan was now half complete.

After seeing Adela and the others off, Li Si returned directly to the underground city.

After all, Li Si still needed to make some use of this underground city to advance his subsequent plans.

However, the dungeon soon underwent a peculiar change.

That is the abyss left behind after the Forbidden Fortress Donovan disappeared. The abyss is like a huge, all-consuming black vortex, bottomless, and filled with a terrifying aura that sends chills down your spine.

Countless chilling roars echoed from the bottom of the abyss, shattering the deathly silence there.

Immediately afterwards, countless terrifying monsters surged out of the dark abyss like a tidal wave.

These monstrous beasts came in all shapes and sizes. Some were as huge as mountains, covered in hard, foul-smelling scales; others had several thick tentacles that lashed wildly through the air; still others had ferocious fangs and blood-red eyes, revealing boundless savagery.
These magical beasts bear faint traces of creatures that lived in the dungeons.

They were permeated with an extremely dense abyssal power.

This power, like a tangible black smoke, clung to each of the magical beasts, making them look even more eerie and terrifying.

Under the influence of this evil force, all these monsters went mad.

Before Li Si's eyes, these magical beasts charged recklessly toward the top of the abyss.

Wherever they went, dust flew and stones flew!
At the exit of that abyss, a seal, personally laid down by the elven goddess Fenrir, shimmered silently.

The seal emitted a soft, silvery-white light, like the bright moon in the night sky, illuminating the surrounding dark world.

This is a seal that Fenriya deliberately left behind before she left.

When the abyssal beasts that surged from the depths charged menacingly toward the goddess's seal, they encountered an unexpected end.

The moment they came into contact with the goddess's seal, those originally ferocious and arrogant monsters seemed to be struck by an invisible force.

Their bodies began to tremble violently, and then, like snow exposed to the scorching sun, they melted away without any resistance, eventually turning into a pile of fine powder that drifted away in the wind.

This magical and awe-inspiring scene unfolded before Li Si, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze for a moment, as all evil and violence were purified in that instant.

Even some monsters, corrupted by the evil and powerful forces of the abyss, became mad and blind.

But as they approached the seal of the goddess Fenriya, an indescribable fear still welled up deep within them.

This fear, like a chilling cold, instantly spread throughout their bodies, causing them to involuntarily stop in their tracks.

They stared with blood-red eyes at the seal that radiated silvery light, letting out low roars.

Yet they dared not take another step forward, much less attempt to break through the seal.

However, Li Si noticed that the abyss that appeared after the disappearance of the forbidden fortress Donovan was vast and complex.

Besides the exit being sealed off by the goddess, there are two or three other hidden rock fissures elsewhere.

These cracks are hidden in dark corners, concealed by thick rocks and shadows, making them difficult to detect.

They are like another evil gate to the abyss, providing an opportunity for those monsters to take advantage.

When the magical beasts that had been sealed away by the goddess discovered these cracks, they roared excitedly.

Led by several powerful magical beasts, the rest of the magical beasts surged out of these cracks like a tidal wave.

They raced along the narrow, rugged passages toward the underground city.

Along the way, they trampled everything in their way, making deafening noises.

Everything that happened here was witnessed by Li Si, who had just returned.

With Li Si's keen eyesight, he could naturally discern the condition of these magical beasts.

These monsters should be the same groups that emerged from the dungeon and attacked surrounding cities when the dungeon first appeared.

However, these magical beasts never appeared again after that incident.

Now, Li Si understands that the source of these magical beasts is actually located underground in the forbidden fortress of Donovan.
It seems that these monsters have gone out of control due to the destruction of the forbidden fortress of Donovan.

The goddess Fenriya seemed to have sensed something amiss, but due to the unique nature of the dungeon, she was unable to completely contain the monsters.

After seeing these magical beasts with his own eyes, Li Si quickly figured out their situation.

These magical beasts exuded an extremely dense abyssal power and carried the aura of the Spider Queen, Lolth.

Li Si was able to see the effects of biological modification on these magical beasts.

This method is quite crude and rudimentary, and it is probably intended for the mass production of magical beasts.

The monsters created through this method are prone to going mad and their lifespan will be greatly reduced.

However, due to the influence of a large amount of abyssal power, the magical beasts modified in this way are quite powerful.

At least, among the magical beasts that appeared before Li Si, he had already discovered quite a few legendary-level magical beasts.

Creating so many magical beasts certainly wasn't something Lolth, the Spider Queen, did out of boredom.
This is more like a war machine meant to be consumed!
