Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 1071 - 696: Sain’s Legitimate Self-Defense

"Indeed, when outsiders aren't around, people no longer bother to maintain their dignity."

Gong Qiying looked at the battle invites flooding the screen, maintaining a smile that had been on his face for a long, long time.

"No, it's more accurate to say that when personal interests are involved, people immediately tear off their masks."

The first to send battle/death match invites were the Blast Flame Holy Light and White Blood dungeons, which he had recently come into contact with.

Not long after, a bunch of other dungeons joined in—Nature Dungeon, Moonlight Dungeon, Solid Rock Dungeon... Gong Qiying had heard of these dungeon names but had hardly any contact with them.

Why are these people going crazy?

After thinking carefully, he figured that these dungeons followed suit because the Holy Light Underground City had spread the news of Sain coming to open a branch here.

Then this news exploded like a soda filled with Mentos.

Gong Qiying opened the world dye map, observing the dungeons surrounding the Fanaticism Dungeon and comparing them one by one with those that sent him battle invites, then he revealed an "I see" expression.

No wonder everyone's reaction was so intense.

Turns out they're all neighbors around the Fanaticism Dungeon.

"Then it's not surprising."

Sikameirom is a country famous for its gathering of many religious beliefs.

Due to special national circumstances, the dungeons here are more or less tinged with religious elements, or artificially imbued with them, for instance, he heard during investigations that White Blood Dungeon had no religious elements yet was praised by the blood god cult.

But because of these special circumstances, the dungeons here lack "giants."

That's to say, their colors don't occupy large areas on the country's map as easily distinguishable heavyweight contenders.

Take Sain Dungeon in Yanor Kingdom, Red, and the Red Teeth Dungeon, which once dominated the Warrior Country but now temporarily overshadowed by Sain Dungeon.

Without giants, the dungeon influence in Sikameirom is very fragmented; it's made up of dozens of small and medium-sized dungeons like a puzzle with undefined edges.

Even with support from one of the major domestic sects, the Holy Light Church, the Holy Light Underground City's color range is just slightly larger than others.

Add to that the wars, dungeon influence in Sikameirom fluctuates dramatically daily, making the battles seem quite fierce.

Today you may be triumphant like a hero, tomorrow a master might suddenly emerge and smack you down a cliff, and in a few days you might gain fortuitous encounters and climb back up to defeat the master, but there's no rest as there are still other opponents wandering nearby.

The whole of Sikameirom resembles a pile of small vendors competing for clientele; maybe in the future, a major company could emerge, but for now, it's a fierce business war.

So, here's the problem.

In the midst of these small vendors, if a well-known major company, despite being new, suddenly opens a branch, what would happen?

"Naturally, those vendors without any distinctive features get kicked out."

Counting on believers continuously paying tribute to your own dungeon is impossible. Sikameirom people have flexible faith boundaries; just wait and see if they change their faith after Sain opens a branch.

They'll change for sure.

The most likely scenario is Sikameirom people hesitating in their faith for a moment before soon switching to Sain, biggest quandary being which belief to have then.

They'll be caught like Reid people choosing between Warrior Country's rice and Yanor Kingdom's cake, finally deciding on having both along with gourmet areas to truly be complete.

Facing such a hopeless future like Hell, what should local dungeons in Sikameirom do?

Of course, before Sain Dungeon ships its goods over, they should quickly turn the tables!

Gong Qiying counted; over ten dungeons had sent him battle invitations.

All are neighboring locals; what happened to being kind to neighbors? It's turned into feasting on neighbors!

"So many people challenging me at once, it seems they know they can't beat me alone and plan for a tag team battle."

Nowadays, Sain Dungeon isn't the same as before; he has the right to refuse fights.

However, there might be someone among these challenging dungeons who still has the right of "first battle initiation, hence cannot be refused."

Instead of waiting for such a person to approach, Gong Qiying prefers to take control himself, selecting one from these dungeons to counterattack, and then...

Defeat them all one by one!

"Even though some people can be quite annoying sometimes, I've longed for this mostly peaceful situation my whole life. If possible, I'd like to ask you not to take action,"

Red Teeth's voice echoed in his mind. This phrase was uttered shortly after Gong Qiying said, "Why don't I just beat up all the suspect dungeons."

"Red Teeth Grandpa, watch closely, I'm not the one picking a fight; they're the ones coming for me first."
