After having explained to my wives what happened yesterday, they were all quite surprised, and I was even able to see some whose eyes were shining brightly in admiration, becoming a Dungeon is not something that happens to anyone or every day, after all.

I had eyed the new Dungeon Points Shop yesterday, but today I decided to glance at it again, looking for the crazy stuff that I always imagined that I could have…

I looked for things such as the Seven Deadly Sins or the Seven Heavenly Commandments, and there they were.

Agh! And they cost a ridiculous amount of Dungeon Points too! How long will it even take for me to get this?! Will it even be useful at that point?

Well, they might, they are incredibly strong powers, just by looking at how the Sin of Lust has helped me so much, I believe that the other Sins and Heavenly Commandments will do just as much too…

The thing is, I am in quite the predicament here, I do not understand something…

Why can I buy them if they are already being possessed by someone else?! I mean, I am the Sin of Lust yet there it is! Another one!

What?! How? Aren't they unique existences? Only one per World! …Right?

It seems that I, and the Gods that told me this, were wrong.

Somehow, these Sins and Commandments can be bought by using an exorbitant amount of Dungeon Points.

But what will happen to my Sin of Lust if I buy another one? Will they fuse and create something greater…? Like the Super Sin of Lust… No, I believe it will have a better name.

There is also something quite intriguing… the '1/1' thingy at the side of each item. Does this mean that I can only purchase them once? Hm, so they are not limitless in stock. But even then, this is crazy good news… it means that I could even get them without having to fight for them.

Well, not like I would do so, I believe that it is easier to go and kill a Realm Menace and steal their Sin than to gather enough Dungeon Points to buy one… I mean, I get Dungeon Points daily, yeah, but by gathering around 2k per day, I would have to wait… 2500 Days or more to reach 5 million! And that is over six years! No way, if in less than a year all these crazy things had gone through, I do not want to imagine what could happen in six years from now.

But I believe that as long as I keep devouring Dungeons and getting their Dungeon Points… I should be capable of gathering them more easily and also at a faster pace than now, and there is not any confirmation that says that the amount of Dungeon Points I get per day won't increase just as Skill Points had done, so I might begin to amass more as I just exist…

As I glanced at the Divine Dungeon Shop with intrigue, I found strange options within the Shop, named '[Exchange Option] and [Divine Dungeon Shop Assistant]'. I glanced at them as I inspected them through my sight.

The exchange option was quite straightforward, as a system window appeared when I clicked on it.

<Exchange Option>

[Exchange any Item into Dungeon Points by converting their total energy, only Legendary-Rank or Above Items are accepted]

[Exchange one item within your Item Box]

[Exchange a large number of items all at once]

Oh?! This might make things a bit easier now! So I can exchange anything above Legendary-rank for an amount of Dungeon Points?! Now, this is convenient!

I quickly selected the 'Exchange one item within your Item Box' option to glance at the Dungeon Points I could get by exchanging an item, I selected a Whip called 'Camila', of the Legendary-Rank, which I had planned on gifting to Nirah, and was still going to do that, but I wanted to see how much value I could get from something at Legendary Rank.

[Do you want to Exchange the [Sadistic Whip of Venomous Thorns; Camila (Legendary)] x1 Item for 10.000 DP?]

[>YES NO]

That is quite a sizable amount of Dungeon Points… But I will have to refuse, for now, Divine Dungeon…

Having refused the exchange, the item went back to my Item Box within seconds.

This felt like a game even more now, so I can just sell whatever crap I do not need for Dungeon Points… Huh. Well, I can also eat them, but it always depends if it is more convenient to draw power from them or to draw Dungeon Points from them to grab some item, I would need…

I also tried using Divine Beasts corpses or body parts, and they also worked, however, the ones I currently had were of Living Deity Rank, so the Dungeon Points they gave was less than one thousand per piece, I think a fully intact Divine Beast at Living Deity Rank might net around one thousand and five hundred Dungeon Point, the difference was clearly very big between the raw materials and a crafted artifact.

I could get more Divine Beasts by simply asking the Gods, but Divine Beasts are also their strength, they are part of the 'quality' of a God's Divine Realm, and bring forth power into their cultivation rank, the more they thrive, the stronger they become alongside the many other things in their Divine Realms. I cannot simply selfishly ask them to give me their riches like that, I also want them to grow strong.

However, I almost forgot that I also got my own Divine Realm! And I do not believe I need the critters that spawn there to be stronger, so I might begin catching them and selling them for Dungeon Points, or well, eating them too.

Depending on their quality, I might eat one of each… We will see, I do not want to deplete my storage of Divine Beasts completely. And well, my Divine Realm is incredibly chaotic, so catching one will be definitely hard. I will not be doing it anytime soon, as I do not feel like I require anything as of now, and I believe that even if I were, even by selling all I got… I would probably not have enough Dungeon Points to get it…

I have been always thinking about what to do with that place, but I guess I found a new purpose to it.

Moving on there was also another feature that had a weird name… the [Divine Dungeon Shop Assistant]. It was a weird name for a feature, would an assistant show up and talk to me if I press on it?

And so, I did so with my will, as a dinging sound resonated within my ears.

[Hello Divine Dungeon Shop User #1, [Kireina], I am your personalized Divine Dungeon Shop Assistant, is there something you need?]

It was the voice of a woman, but mechanical, as if it were a computer speaking to me… it was a bit similar to Kiroid, but not really! It was something completely different! And what is this anyway? Is this really the System talking to me? Maybe the System Gods?

[I am your personalized Divine Dungeon Shop Assistant, I was created to assist you to find the ideal item that you might need by giving me your description and necessities, while also calculating how much Dungeon Points you possess and what you can and not afford]

[I am not the 'System', not the 'System Gods', but a specialized Artificial Intelligence spontaneously created by the Divine Dungeon System to assist you, Divine Dungeon Shop User #1, [Kireina]

I see how it is… Wait, this thing can hear my thoughts?

[I cannot hear your thoughts, but thoughts directed to me as questions are processed within the System and asked to me. So essentially, it is, partially]

Well, it is a relief though, so I do not have to talk out loud to you or anything.

[It is certainly convenient, Divine Dungeon Shop User #1, [Kireina]

Hm, you can simply call me Kireina? Do not mind formalities with me.

[Very well, Kireina]

And I will also call you… err, how about AI-chan?

[It is a fitting name]

[Kireina, do you need my assistance in finding any item?]

I was given once again the question by AI-chan, she seemed to be an Artificial Intelligence created by the Divine Dungeon Shop System that could only do what she was created for, so I decided to not overextend our conversation, as it might overload her or something.

I decided to ask her about any item that could help me out in growing stronger that was to be within my current budget.

Can you find any Item, such as Skills, Equipment, or anything that can help me out in getting stronger within my budget?

[I would gladly do so, Kireina]

AI-chan presented to me a large list of several amazing-sounding items that were matching my strength while even being affordable to me! I was a bit surprised at first, but then I calmed down as I inspected everything thoroughly.

There were various Items I had no idea existed, such as 'Divine Skill Tree Artifacts' that seemed to grant the user that possessed them the ability to access some kind of Skill Tree, quite similar to a Class, but seemingly artificially made and not automatically generated by the System…

Some Elixirs could enhance my soul, body, and flesh even at the point where I was, seemingly telling me that I was not as strong as I thought if there were items that could still help me strengthen such areas even more.

There was even a special elixir that awakened pseudo-demi-divinities! Just like the ones my wives drank that time when I got them through the Empire System Task Reward… (which I have to check out again, by the way).

If I could buy more of these and then gift them to my wives, would they be able to finally grasp a Divine Soul and maybe be able to learn Divinity Devouring? It would be certainly convenient…

And lastly, there were Skill Books and Cultivation Technique that came in Scrolls. I had never truly cultivated in my life, although I have been self-nourishing myself through Uroboros, which might seem to be a very rustic way of cultivation, I might begin to do so if these Scrolls can teach me the method instantly…

However, I wisely chose to not buy anything for now until I was to open the many rewards loot boxes and other items I had accumulated through my travels in the Dungeons, which might be packed with the items right in here, so I thought that it might end up being useless if I get something that can help me out through them after having wasted DP in this.

But before leaving, I could not help but ask Ai-chan to search for another item I was rather curious about… A Scroll containing some kind of Fusion Skill.

And there it was…

There they were… the actual Skills that could help… well, do what my wives wanted for some time, fuse, and they were not so cheap, nor too costly either.

Checking that such things existed, I was a bit happy over its potential in the future, but decided to not buy for now. I have to contain myself from doing anything foolish for the time being, there might be a time where I will really need these Dungeon Points…
