He took out the phone he had stolen then turned it on and logged into his account, which only received a few incoming messages even though he had been missing for a year.

In the end, he barely had any friends worthy of being called friends.

Lack of talent makes him often the butt of.

If it wasn't for the existence of his adoptive sister, perhaps he would have received worse things than what he received from Caesar.

He opened contacts and scrolled down until the screen displayed a number with the name Princess Jane.

There was no message from this contact, which didn't surprise him at all. Just having her cell phone number is amazing. It was only because he was lucky while his parents were still around that he was able to meet and befriend her for some time.

Without delaying any longer, he sent a message to the number.

He told about the prison and the things Caesar did there.

The man has captured people from all over the world who are then used as live cannon fodder or for dangerous research.

The current world might be quite different because power has such an important factor that even assassination is often overlooked, but crimes like that are still something that cannot be done openly because the United Nations is still the strongest power on earth.

Although it could only be said to be a loose alliance, there were many factions within it. If a group commits a crime, some factions will use the power of the United Nations to tear the group apart with the aim of plundering their wealth.

Of course, there are also those who are genuinely fighting to destroy evil.

Ciel didn't clearly know what kind of group behind Caesar was, but according to his observations so far, it shouldn't be enough to scare everyone while their wealth was enough to arouse the greed of many.

He also believed that Jane could do something.

She might only be a woman his age, but she had a lot of influence in the British Kingdom, and it was also one of the strongest countries at the moment.

After the message was sent, Ciel immediately turned off the cellphone, he even destroyed it because he didn't want his location to be tracked.

Of course, he was still using another phone with a different account to connect to the internet.

After that, he even moved to another hotel.

In this new hotel, he opened the tv to watch the news while occasionally looking at the sky through the window.

Minutes passed.

Perhaps after about fifteen minutes, fifteen warplanes suddenly passed through the city's skies heading south.

They let out a roar loud enough that the people in the city were taken aback.

"Finally." Ciel heaved a sigh of relief after seeing them.

What he wanted was for Caesar to not have time to take care of it now while he focused on increasing his strength.

About half an hour after the fifteen warplanes passed, there were several more. This time it consisted of passenger planes.

It wasn't long before the media finally started reporting on the discovery of the prison.

Some people got caught.

According to a search, it involves the Gold Leaf Consortium which has businesses in America.

Ciel was hearing about this Consortium for the first time, so he looked for information on the internet.

Apparently, it's just a newly established Consortium, engaged in the research of rare plants

It was founded by quite wealthy businessmen and Caesar was one of them.

It is said that they have an investor from a large Consortium whose identity is unknown.

"Hmph, as long as Caesar doesn't say that it's me, I'll be fine."

Ciel wasn't that worried.

He was in that prison because Caesar hid him there, not because he was part of the prisoners.

There was nothing wrong with Caesar's actions, but he would be in big trouble if it was discovered that he had caused the prison to be found.

Now he only deals with the UN, but the latter will have him dealing with the unknown Consortium.

"Time to focus on myself," Ciel said.

He stood up, looked at his hands and continued, "I already have what it takes to be invincible, the next depends on my own efforts."

Immediately after saying that he left.

...

There were enough holes that people wouldn't have to fight over them.

Ciel who was now wearing a black jacket with his head covered climbed a hill and found a hole that looked like a well.

Without thinking, he jumped into the hole.

Each hole was about a kilometer deep, others even those at his level would definitely not dare to plunge like that, but he wasn't worried at all.

Immediately he fell and could barely see anything because it was so dark around him.

One thing he noticed was that the hole had become wider and the atmosphere had turned completely different.

At this point, any technology on earth that didn't contain spirituality would no longer work.

Spiritual Chips, on the other hand, still worked because it was a technology that contained spirituality.

Without any hindrances and distractions, it only took about a few seconds for Ciel to pass through the hole.

Light entered his eyes.

Above, there was a sky that was made of earth but strangely emitted a faint light that seemed to be coming from above it.

Below, he saw a sandy plain with many large stones and there was a fairly large river of lava in the middle.

The river of lava was even billowing smoke.

He could feel the heat from there. But strangely, he wasn't bothered by the heat at all, he was rather comfortable.

Before landing, he used his teleportation so that he appeared right above one of the rocks beside the river.

His gaze swept around, but right after that, he suddenly felt the rock he stepped on move.

He quickly jumped away.

The stone, which was originally round, suddenly let out a pair of hands and feet and then a small head, complete with eyes, nose and mouth.

“Golems,” Ciel said.

After one Golem wakes up, the other Golems also wake up from the other stones.

Their size varies, some are only two meters high and some are up to four meters.

Right on their chest, there was a small circle that seemed to be made of clay, it was surrounded by stones that almost covered it.

"Levels 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8..."

Ciel estimated their level.

After that, he appeared right beside the Level 3 Golem which was the smallest.

Flames blazed in his clenched fists.

He then sent the fist at the Golem.

The fist didn't reach the Golem, but the flames drowned its body.

"Ooooo...." There was a strange scream similar to a human voice along with the sound of burning stones.

In just an instant the Golem's stone body turned to ashes, leaving what appeared to be a pea-sized, copper-colored crystal.

Copper Core.

Immediately after that Ciel put it in his mouth.

The Core must be taken and eaten quickly because when it is more than 10 minutes, the Core will lose its Natural Essence, becoming a Raw Core.

When that happened, even Cores of higher quality would end up the same.

Of course, a higher quality Core could last longer.

Raw Core itself had many uses because it still contained energy that could be used for many things..

In this Underground World, Raw Core was used as currency.

As Ciel expected, his body easily absorbed the Natural Essence from the Core.

A year ago, he needed to do it with great concentration and the success rate was really very low.

However, he shook his head as he looked at his stats.

Nature Essence: 0/40

"It's really not increasing," he said.

"But I have nothing to lose because the minimum I need to level up is only 40 Natural Essence points, those at Level 13 need 140."

Even so, Ciel wasn't completely convinced yet, he started killing other Golems, from Level 4 onwards where he only needed one hit to kill them.

But even after he swallowed a Level 8 Core, the result was still the same, his Natural Essence did not increase by even 0.0000001 points so he was certain that only a Level 13 Core was of any use to him.

Ciel didn't immediately leave even though he already knew that. He went to a lonely place on the side of the lava river.

When he arrived right beside the lava river, he stuck his finger in it.

As expected, there was absolutely no effect, he felt as if he stuck his finger in an ordinary river.

Whereas according to his estimation, this lava river can turn Level 10 Evolvers and below into ashes.

After that, he started trying to control the lava in the lava river. And it turned out to be quite easy, even easier than releasing the power of his own fire.

Being able to control fire that wasn't his and being resistant to it, it was an ability that was unheard of since no one had such an ability.

In an area full of flames, his strength practically surged drastically.

"Mm, if I activate all sources, won't I become stronger everywhere because they are composed of all elements."

Thinking of it made him cringe. No wonder the name of this body is so overbearing, its ability is simply unimaginable.

Ciel no longer delaying, he went north, following the river of lava.

His goal hasn't been thought of yet, he'll just go wherever he can get stronger.

The journey was completely unimpeded due to his teleportation ability, nothing could stand in his way.

After traveling about 15 kilometers, he arrived at a crumbling city that was already buried in sand, only half of the buildings in the city were still on the surface.

The river of lava passed through the city, splitting it into two areas.

On the north side of the city, there was a large forest with desert trees.

Several times a loud roar was heard from the forest.

Quite a number of people in this city, from young to old, from walking alone to groups, can all be found.

Ciel entered the city through the road by the river.

It's the busiest street with lots of people trading, some opening up strange games like gambling.

He watched them one by one.

He thought now that he needed good weapons and useful things for his adventures.

Unfortunately, he didn't have enough Raw Core to buy them.

Stealing by relying on his teleportation was the simplest option he could make.

But along the way, he finds nothing interesting in the things he can steal while those that interest him are held by people powerful enough to make him choose not to act.

When he arrived at the downtown area, he saw a crowd of people surrounding a small lake connected to a lava river.

Some people shouted, "crazy," "bullshit," "stupid," and other harsh words that made his curiosity increase.
