Can't Leave Without Winning-Wait, You Can Actually Win?

The Mother Nest, the center of the Chimera Bug, is the origin of all insects.

It's no exaggeration to call it the heart of the Calamity Nest Dungeon.

The complete Calamity Nest Dungeon had a total of five Mother Nest, but in order to reduce the daily expenses of Spirit Power, Jia Nage continuously reduced them, eventually leaving only this one.

He believed that this Mother Nest would surely bring him victory and restore his abundant Spirit Power.

In his youthful arrogance, he even fantasized about casting powerful creatures such as dragons into the Mother Nest to create an army capable of conquering the world.

That was a dream hidden deep in Jia Nage's heart, a dream that would only invite ridicule if spoken aloud.

But he still reminisces about it from time to time, and every night when he falls asleep, he fantasizes about conquering the world.

Intelligent beings always need to have some hope for the future, and they always need a dream to sustain them.

And now, Jia Nage's dream explodes before his eyes like colorful fireworks.

Yellow represents warmth, allowing creatures that touch it to feel the happiness of being warmed by a fire.

Red represents good luck, and creatures that come into contact with it will live forever.

Black represents

If you can ignore the nature of these fireworks, they are still quite beautiful when they explode.

Unfortunately, it cannot be ignored.

Jia Nage clutched his head, his mind blank, trying to scream but unable to utter a sound.

He remained motionless, as if he had become a statue.

Frenzied Flame, Scarlet Corruption, Abyss, Curse of Death —all except the last one are highly contagious.

When the four colors spread across the base, Jia Nage could no longer stand still. He quickly exercised his authority and cut the contaminated land out of the base!

Damn it, the Mother Nest is located far behind the base. After it exploded, it contaminated a large area of the surrounding land. After cutting these areas away, the base suddenly became much smaller.

He was originally hiding underground, but after cutting open the back, the room he had hidden was exposed. A gust of wind blew by, and his backside felt a little cold.

"Godwyn"

Jia Nage muttered to himself, his current mental state could be described in four words: utter madness.

Perhaps because he was already quite crazy, this extra madness actually fought fire with fire, forcing him to calm down.

Yes, on the surface, they've calmed down.

So that's how it is. The unique feature of the Zane Dungeon is these unfamiliar "diseases" with unknown effects but strong infectivity and toxicity. Let's call these things "diseases" for now.

Jia Nage's brain is working at lightning speed.

No wonder the monsters here are all common things: Goblin, Minotaur, Troll. These are standard features in every dungeon.

I underestimated it before. Seeing these commonplace items, I thought this dungeon was no match for me. But now that I've calmed down and thought about it, how could a dungeon that can be upgraded to level three be ordinary?

I see, I see.

He has figured it out completely.

"Monsters have never been the strength of the Zane Dungeon. Its real trump card is these unknown diseases. This is a dungeon that lives by relying on its terrain and traps!"

Such dungeons often progress slowly in collecting Spirit Power, so the lord of the Zane Dungeon is likely an "old-timer" who has been at the second-level authority for a long time and has only recently decided to empty his coffers to upgrade to the third-level authority!

Each dungeon has a unique system, and there is almost no energy left to develop other systems. This is an ironclad rule deeply ingrained in the minds of Jia Nage and even other city lords.

Since the unique feature of the Zane Dungeon is things like Frenzied Flame, it must be weak in terms of monsters!

"If that's the case, it means he doesn't have a powerful enough monster to attack me."

With this thought in mind, Jia Nage decided to stop hiding his true intentions and unleashed his most powerful Spirit Power to create another Mother Nest.

This time, he abandoned the conventional strategy of spreading the Fungal Carpet and then mass-producing troops, allowing the Mother Nest to absorb all the nutrients from the Fungal Carpet and focus on producing flying Chimera Bug.

He also expended his Spirit Power to create flying Chimera Bug that he could summon, which were of sufficient strength, roughly at the Mid Rank- to-high rank.

That's strange, why didn't he use A, B, C to distinguish them?

The answer is that, apart from the Zane Dungeon, the other dungeons do not have any strength level classifications in the [Available Monster]!

The Corruption Lake was gradually eroding his base, but when he completely shrank the Fungal Carpet, he lost the means of biological transmission, and the spread of corruption on the ground was slowed down.

A large number of ordinary flying Chimera Bug, along with elite Chimera Bug created with Spirit Power, and the Companions he specifically summoned to apply group buffs.

Jia Nage is clearly aiming to quickly clear the Zane Dungeon before corruption completely erodes the base, and to drag out Gong Qiying, who is hiding in the Farron Keep!

The production of the Mother Nest takes time, but he can create it quickly using Spirit Power. However, this precious Spirit Power can only be used to produce elites.

Therefore, he is currently in a life-or-death race against time, trying to complete the regeneration of the swarm and destroy Farron Keep before the corruption erodes the land.

Just then, a howl came from the sky, and Jia Nage saw a giant eagle with several of its followers hanging on its back.

It's obvious without even guessing that these allies are here to carry out a decapitation strike.

Throughout the match, Gong Qiying's playing style was incredibly cost-effective.

They destroyed the enemy's base with just a few Heroes infected with the "contagious disease," and now they're using free Heroes to carry out decapitation tactics, truly making the most of their money.

And those who were on the same side were all familiar faces— Leon, Da Er, and Si Telan. These few people almost filled up Sion's summoning limit.

The last person in the group may not have the same bond value as the previous ones, but he is definitely the strongest, because his name is Sword Saint Gapar!

"You've come at the perfect time."

Jia Nage smirked.

When Leon and his group entered the airspace of the Calamity Nest Dungeon, Jia Nage activated his authority.

A World You Can't Leave Without Victory!

With a flash of light, the figures of the allies vanished.

"By the time you come out, my swarm will have already assembled. No, the most likely scenario is that you won't be able to get out."

[A World You Can't Leave Without Victory] Using this privilege, Jia Nage can create a small space independent of the dungeon. You can't leave without killing the monsters necessary to clear the dungeon or meeting certain conditions. Even if you run out of Spirit Power, you have to stay inside until you become a walking corpse.

Within a small space, both monsters and buildings have a limit, and this limit can be increased by using Spirit Power.

Just like in the dungeon, everything that can be placed here must be something the city lord has seen. Creating something like a ten-thousand-meter-deep abyss out of thin air is impossible, and the upper limit of small spaces does not allow it either.

A small space can contain a lot of things, and each space can only accommodate one person. The scenery that each person encounters may be the same or different.

In Jia Nage's eyes, this is a very limited ability, most useful for imprisoning enemies, but there is a limit to the number that can be imprisoned.

He turned a perfectly good ability into a personal prison.

When the space in front of him finally stabilized, "Leon" found himself inside a circular building.

This is a building shaped like an arena, and he stands in the center of the square.

The next second, a group of strange-looking people appeared around him, chuckling wickedly. These were the Companions of the Calamity Nest Dungeon.

Although they are demons, they have bodies similar to humans, and their fighting style is more like that of humans, making them a rare breed among demons.

They are special forces soldiers trained by the Demon King's army to fight against humanity!

As a member of the same group, Leon did not speak; he simply silently drew a straight sword that could be canceled.

My major is a good match.

"Da Er" also appeared in the arena, but he was not facing demons that resembled humans, but utter monsters.

Every monster in front of him was strangely shaped, and most of them were elite demons whose bodies could change shape at will.

Like a lower-ranking alternative to Doslai Bo, they are very similar in both ability and appearance.

"."

Da Er silently assumed the stance of the Farron Undead Legion.

And it's a perfect match for my major.

"Si Telan" did not appear in the arena; she was in a labyrinth full of traps, and the condition for leaving was to find the exit.

This place is extremely similar to the interior of the Calamity Nest Dungeon, probably taken from somewhere else. All the traps inside are things that Jia Nage knows to be extremely insidious.

In Jia Nage's perception?

Si Telan stopped at a corner, threw a pebble forward, and a Chimera Bug foolishly ran out.

A sneak attack around a corner is a classic design, but how can the monsters used for the sneak attack just run out after hearing a noise?

If it were designed for the Zane Dungeon, it would definitely not be this simple. At the very least, there would be a finger bug on the ceiling in the corner, or a floor that collapses underfoot, with a trapdoor underneath, or something else.

Si Telan sighed, as if expressing disappointment.

It seems to be a related field?

These adventurers, trained in the Zane Dungeon, possess an adventurous quality that the Calamity Nest Dungeon could not even imagine!

To put it in a slightly melodramatic way, it would be:

"We've fought our way out of the most dangerous hell, how could we possibly be afraid of a little demon like you!"

Meanwhile, "Sword Saint Gapar" won the grand prize.

Before him lay the most powerful monster in the Calamity Nest Dungeon, a super Chimera Bug that had been cultivated by devouring countless dead.

His strength surpasses that of the Lion Ape and is comparable to that of the Crucible Knight!

He is a powerhouse, one in ten thousand!

This is the pride of Jia Nage; no one who has entered the Calamity Nest Dungeon in all these years has ever been able to defeat the super Chimera Bug.

Jia Paer glanced up at it, too lazy to even draw his sword.

Outside world.

The creation of insects in the Mother Nest is in full swing, and elite Chimera Bug have been created by Spirit Power to guard Jia Nage.

Although the corruption of the Corruption Lake on the Calamity Nest Dungeon has slowed down, the current situation is still not optimistic. Fortunately, the Mother Nest has produced hundreds of flying Chimera Bug, and if the number increases a few more, they can attempt to attack Farron Keep.

Jia Nage rubbed his hands anxiously, glancing occasionally toward the direction of the Farron Keep.

The Fortress now seemed shrouded in mystery in his eyes.

Ten minutes have passed since Leon, the One of the Hearts, was sent into the small space. In those ten minutes, even a fool could react. Why hasn't the other side sent more troops yet?

Has he run out of Spirit Power? It's very possible that the batch of allies sent over just now might be his last fighting force.

But an ominous premonition fermented in his heart. He had a feeling that he shouldn't have set his sights on the Zane Dungeon in the first place.

The thought that "I might die here" popped into his mind, startling him so much that he quickly shook his head.

Every demon's soul has a chance of being absorbed by the demon's Sacred Relic, the "Great Demon Tree," and priests can view these demons' brief memories before their death.

If he really dies here, he hopes the memory he leaves for the Great Demon Tree won't be one of weakness; he doesn't want to lose face in front of those damned priests.

Why should I think about these things?

Jia Nage was taken aback. Yes, the battle wasn't over yet, so why was he already assuming he would lose?

Tick-tock, tick-tock—perhaps it was an auditory hallucination, but he seemed to hear the ticking of a clock, exactly twelve minutes after the person with the same heart was sucked into the small space.

"By the way, let me enjoy the miserable state of the comrades-in-arms to relax."

Just as he was thinking this.

"Null--"

Like a great bell being struck, a series of vibrations suddenly appeared, startling Jia Nage.

Because this sound means that his small space has been broken!

The appearance of such sounds in a series means that...!

One, two, three—they've all come out! All the allies he imprisoned have come out!

Jia Nage looked utterly shocked, no less so than if he had seen the Mother Nest explode before his eyes.

"Only twelve minutes? How is that possible? Why—"

After the small space shattered, it formed a strange light source in the air. The people of the same mind stood in front of the light, looking like superheroes.

Jia Nage felt as if he were in a dream.

The small space contained his proud demon special forces, people he had lured in at great expense and had killed several times. As allies, these people had always been quite strong.

The Super Chimera Bug was his brainchild. With such a monster, even the captain of the Demon King's army had to look at the Calamity Nest Dungeon with more respect.

That maze was something he had racked his brains to come up with. He was overjoyed when he first came up with the idea of placing monsters at the corners to ambush people.

With so many ingenious designs, why did these few concentric individuals emerge in just twelve minutes? And at the same time!

Jia Paer looked toward the Mother Nest and drew the Stars Linked Sword.

"Wait, no!"

In this moment of crisis, all the elite Chimera Bug burst forth from the ground and charged towards the Allies.

The battle was not evenly matched; it was a complete rout.

Leon, Da Er, Si Telan —these are the proud old customers of the Zane Dungeon, and the insects of the Calamity Nest Dungeon are no match for them.

"Huff, huff"

Jia Nage's eyes were bloodshot, and he was breathing heavily.

Why? Why can the Zane Dungeon have such powerful allies? Could it be that they all obtained them through that unknown "disease"?

Are these adventurers idiots? They know that Sion is poisonous, yet they keep going in.

Surely there can't be some unique treasure inside, right?

Jia Nage didn't believe that a level 3 dungeon could contain treasures of a "unique" level, but he also couldn't understand why someone as powerful as Jia Paer had died inside.

But he believed one thing—if he didn't go out and stop it, the Mother Nest would explode again.

While the other allies fought the swarm, Jia Paer charged straight toward the Mother Nest, his objective clear.

"Ahh!"

Jia Nage roared, glanced at his remaining Spirit Power, and resolutely slammed it onto a certain monster.

In an instant, the earth trembled, and the enormous Mother Nest rose from the ground.

Countless tentacles extend from its base, gradually twisting into a giant monster over ten meters tall. Its head is a pulsating Mother Nest, and its body is wrapped with tentacles to mimic the shape of an insect.

Its body was covered with countless holes, from which small Chimera Bug kept emerging, making it look rather daunting.

[Chimera Mother]

The ultimate monster that Jia Nage can use is even more powerful than the Super Chimera Bug, and its existence is enough to warrant a red-level quest from the Adventurers' Guild.

The followers were entangled by a large number of Chimera Bug and could not free themselves for the time being.

"Kill them, Chimera Mother!"

Jia Nage issued the order, believing that his top-tier monster could crush these allies as easily as stepping on ants.

But something unexpected happened.

The base's cramped space is insufficient to contain the enormous Chimera Mother; any large movement by her would send her tentacles plunging into the Corruption Lake.

It is also a living organism, and all living organisms can be infected by decay.

When Ghana saw the Scarlet Corruption entangle the Chimera Mother, forcing her to sever limbs to survive and remain huddled motionless in the base, Jia Nage finally broke down.

He had assumed that the Chimera Mother, with her superior strength, could resist the Scarlet Corruption, but little did he know that the speed at which the Corruption spread did not decrease at all.

This is outrageous!

Cheating! This is cheating!

The Chimera Mother lacks the ability to fly; she cannot soar over the Corruption Lake, which means she is forever trapped in the base.

Inside are several covetous Heroes, who will attack the Chimera Mother once they adapt to the Chimera Bug swarm's attack rhythm.

But before that, perhaps Scarlet Corruption will first creep up to the ground, turning everything crimson in color.

This is truly the most desperate situation we've ever been in.

"No"

The ground bulged out, and Jia Nage jumped straight out from underground.

His mental state is off right now; he's like a madman. His previous calmness was just a forced facade.

"Godwyn!"

Jia Nage shouted, and the surviving trumpet bugs carried his voice throughout the underground city.

"I refuse to accept this!"

"My monsters are much stronger! Stronger than yours!"

"If it's a fair fight, I will never lose, I will never lose!"

"Me, me"

Jia Nage had a thousand words stuck in his throat, unable to come out. He had an invincible army of Chimera Bug, but he was no match for the strange and bizarre infectious disease of the other side.

This battle left him feeling incredibly frustrated. Before coming here, he had imagined his opponent using every trick in the book to fight him, creating an epic and exhilarating battle.

But now there's no passion or epic to speak of, only a filthy infectious disease.

Jia Nage was indignant. If it weren't for this nonsensical Corruption Lake, his Chimera Mother and the Zerg swarm would surely have been able to destroy the Zane Dungeon.

It definitely can!

"Unless you kill me with a monster, I will never submit!"

The sky had changed color at some point, and darkness enveloped the space.

This is the purest darkness; no light can illuminate this place, and there is no longer any distinction between heaven and earth.

If even the light that distinguishes all things has disappeared, what meaning does heaven and earth have?

This is the deepest darkness, the most desolate shadow, the most twisted abyss!

In a place Jia Nage couldn't attend to, the base he had carved out had been completely taken over by the Abyss, Frenzied Flame and the others suddenly disappeared.

What will appear when the abyss gathers?

Jia Nage felt his eyes were completely useless; he could see nothing but the buzzing of the swarm and the beating of the Chimera Mother's heart. Even the movements of the Symbiotic Ones had vanished.

In this deathly silence, unease and panic are growing.

What's going on? What's the Zane Dungeon up to?

Jia Nage was terrified. Even though he was born into the demon race, he felt fear when he witnessed this extreme darkness.

This was not a night that made him feel comfortable, but a darkness that brought everything back to silence.

Therefore, he prayed sincerely for the coming of light, more devoutly than any other Holy Light Follower.

As if in response to his prayer, a light suddenly appeared in the distance.

Overjoyed, he rushed towards the source of light. The abyss chilled him to the bone, his body slowly freezing; only the light could keep him warm.

"Huh?"

When he got close enough to the light, he suddenly looked surprised.

These rays of light came from several enormous bracelets.

The owner of these bracelets was a pair of giant skeletal hands.

The hand is here, but where is its body?

Jia Nage stiffly raised his head like a machine and saw a scene he would never forget.

That is a demon king created by the convergence of countless deaths.

He is a king who has merged with the abyss and is about to fall into the deepest darkness.

It is the Chimera Mother and his absolutely invincible, powerful creature.

It was a demon specially created by the Zane Dungeon in response to him, in order to completely subdue him.

The Overlord Wolnir has appeared in this world!
