Dungeon Corpse Stacker: I Absorb Everything to Become Ominous Monarch

The Western Gate fell into an absolute, heavy silence as Ambassador Vane-Tempest scrambled into the single remaining functional white transport vehicle, fleeing toward the international border with wide, sweat-stained eyes and trembling hands.

Behind the high perimeter walls of Sector 1, Renan walked down the subterranean marble staircase leading into the deepest, most restricted level of the Association’s underground complex: The Grand Containment Catacombs.

This subterranean sector, located three hundred meters beneath the surface bedrock, was where the former National Hunter Association kept five Uncleared S-Rank Dungeons. Instead of closing these dangerous spatial rifts, President James and his corrupt Directors had sealed them behind heavy adamantite containment locks, keeping the S-Rank Bosses alive inside controlled chambers to artificially siphon their high-density mana crystals for black-market trading and political leverage.

”My Monarch,” Shadow Commander James reported, trailing two paces behind Renan along the frost-covered corridor, his dark spectral scepter glowing with analytical holographic light. ”The five sealed S-Rank Gates inside this catacomb sector contain high-tier abyssal entities: two Titan-Class Frost Behemoths, a seven-headed Crimson Blood Hydra, and two Void Arch-Demons. They have been gorging on raw subterranean mana veins for three years without interruption.”

Renan stopped in front of the first colossal adamantite gate, inscribed with glowing red containment runes and heavy mechanical locking bars. His golden eyes flared brightly through the darkness as he felt the intense, wild, and predatory mana signatures surging behind the heavy steel plating.

”They hoarded these monsters like livestock while letting front-line Hunters die in unranked gates,” Renan said softly, his layered, double-toned voice echoing down the icy hallway, causing the frost along the stone walls to hairline-crack. ”Open the containment locks, James.”

”By your absolute command, My Sovereign!” Shadow Commander James raised his spectral scepter, tapping its iron base against the floorboards.

CRACK-CRACK-BANG!

The massive adamantite locking bars snapped violently, and the heavy containment doors slid open with an earsplitting, metallic screech that shook the dust from the ceiling!

ROOOOOOOOOOOOOAR!

From the pitch-black abyss of the first gate, a fifty-foot Titan-Class Frost Behemoth erupted forward! Its massive, icicle-draped body slammed against the doorframe, its glowing blue eyes burning with savage, unbridled fury as it unleashed a tidal wave of absolute-zero frost breath capable of freezing an entire city block in fractions of a second!

Renan didn’t draw his dark Monarch blade. He didn’t step back or deploy a barrier.

He simply stepped directly into the freezing blizzard, his long black coat swaying gently in the cold draft, his right gloved fist pulled back to his ribs as dark-golden Monarch runes flared across his arm with fifty-seven thousand points of physical force!

Applied Force: 57,000 Physical Stat Points

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Renan’s fist struck the fifty-foot Frost Behemoth directly in the center of its massive, ice-armored forehead!

The kinetic shockwave was so colossal that the beast’s thick, glacial armor didn’t just crack—it violently exploded into millions of flying ice shards and frozen shrapnel! The fifty-foot monster was instantly pulverized into a spray of frozen blue blood and white powder, its high-density S-Rank mana core popping out from its shattered chest cavity like a glowing blue gemstone!

Renan caught the glowing blue mana core in mid-air, closing his gloved fingers around it as dark purple miasma erupted from his palm.

Without pausing for a single second, Renan walked directly into the second, third, fourth, and fifth gate chambers!

BOOM! SLASH! CRUNCH!

Inside the second gate, Shadow General Ignis and Shadow Commander Drake held the seven-headed Crimson Blood Hydra in place while Renan severed all seven of its massive heads in a single, blinding golden-black sword sweep! Inside the third and fourth gates, Shadow Commander Marcus drove his dark tower shield straight through the Void Arch-Demons, pinning them to the stone walls before Renan crushed their glowing mana cores with his bare hands!

In less than forty-five minutes of systematic execution, all five sealed S-Rank Dungeons were completely cleared, leaving the catacombs filled with the shattered remains of ancient monsters and rivers of glowing mana blood.

Renan stood in the center of the subterranean hall, surrounded by his kneeling commanders. Five massive, high-density mana cores dissolved into dark violet mist, flowing continuously into his Monarch core.

[New Permanent Physical Stat Total: 60,400 Points!]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

An explosive, sun-bright golden kinetic shockwave erupted from Renan’s body, tearing through the three-hundred-meter ceiling bedrock of the catacombs! Golden Monarch runes flared visibly across his entire chest, arms, neck, and face, burning with an absolute intensity that completely lit up the subterranean darkness.

Renan felt his physical perception expand exponentially once again—his 60,400 physical stat points now allowed him to feel every single vibration of the Earth’s crust across the entire continent.

[Skill: ’Monarch’s World-Eater Domain’ (Rank-EX)]

Shadow Commander James bowed his head until his helmet touched the frost-covered floorboards. ”Congratulations, My Sovereign Monarch! Your physical stat total has officially crossed the monumental 60,000-point landmark!”

Renan looked down at his gloved hands, feeling the terrifying, godlike density of raw physical and spatial power coursing through his veins.

”The internal territory is fully purged and consolidated,” Renan said softly, his layered, double-toned voice echoing through the ruined catacombs with absolute authority. ”Now, we turn our attention to the ocean.”

Shadow Commander James raised his spectral scepter, bringing up a glowing blood-red holographic map of the Pacific Ocean trench.

”My Monarch,” James reported, his voice sharp and crisp. ”Our long-range shadow scouts have confirmed massive energy signatures around Project Tartarus. The World Federation’s Apex Council in Geneva has panic-authorized the immediate deployment of three hundred Synthetic Relic Soldiers from their subterranean ocean base!”

Renan’s golden eyes flared with ruthless, predatory malice as he stepped toward the elevator shaft, his coat swaying in the dark draft.

”Tell General Ignis to assemble the vanguard,” Renan commanded, his dark coat fluttering as black miasma wrapped around his leather boots. ”It is time to crush their ocean trench.”
