The Null Elemental had read his memories and carried out the best plan of action to protect the dungeon according to his will. With the [Workshop] floor as a foundation, Simon knew that the potential of Dungeon Laplace was limitless.
As long as the floor continued to develop and expand, he could create an empire of war machines, just like in that game.
"Yeah, I am very much happy with the current progress. You have truly become one of the key individuals befitting of being one of the Guardian of the dungeon" Simon conversed with Wisp a little more before shifting the topic to Prime.
"By the way, do you where this guy is? He is supposed to be your new neighbour and I am unable to find him" Simon created the image of Prime in his head and Wisp immediately knew who he was talking about.
[Beep-Boop-Ping] It conveyed with its sonar noise that it knows where Prime is.
"Really?! Then can you take me where that guy is?"

ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm After a while, the two of them stopped in front of a place and the Wisp conveyed that they had arrived at the location.
"This… you don't mean.. are you saying that Prime is down there?" With his brows locked into a frown, Simon asked while looking down. An expression of apprehension was evident on his face.
Why was he making such a face? The reason for this was because they were currently on top of the mouth of one of the biggest volcanic mountains present on this floor and Wisp was pointing below.
Knowing what it wanted to convey, how could Simon not make an apprehensive face?
Below was a hot boiling sea of lava and according to Wisp, Prime was inside there. A droplet of sweat trickled down Simon's face as he looked below, his eyes reflecting the intense heat of the lava sea.
To think that Prime would choose to make his home inside the mouth of a volcano of all places, Simon was speechless for a second.
No wonder he was unable to find him, no sane person would think about checking inside the mouth of a volcanic mountain.
Was this guy okay down there?
"Hey Prime, are you in there? Respond if you can hear my voice?" Simon called out. There was no movement for a while, only the bubbling noise of the lava and the sulphuric clouds continued to exist here.
Just when Simon was starting to get anxious, there was finally some movements in the lava. A few columns of lava erupted from the mountain and a response came from within its depth.
"Simon? What are you doing here?".
Simon was relieved that the other party was fine though the next second, the latter's answer triggered him.
"What do you mean what I'm doing here, this is my dungeon. I came to check on you?" he retorted back.
"Ahaha, right.. right. Though why are you standing outside, why don't you come in? Let me show you my new place" Prime's voice sounded.
"This guy…" Simon's brows twitched "We are on top of a sea of lava for goodness' sake. How am I supposed to come in?".
The temperature here was more than 1800 degree Celsius, it was hotter than even the most powerful infernal magic of his. Even if he had flame resistance, this temperature was out of the question. He did not have a death wish for wanting to jump inside that hell.
"Oh right right, I forgot you are one of those races who cannot live in extreme mineral deposits like these. Wait for a moment, I will create a route for you that will lead you to my place"
After a brief moment, the lava around them started to move, parting away and creating a tunnel-like pathway leading towards the heart of the mountain.
Simon watched in amazement as the molten lava seemed to respond to Prime's command, creating a safe route for him to follow.
"Alright, come in!" Prime's voice sounded out from the other end of the tunnel. Simon was still in awe at Prime's ability and that the latter could stay alive inside the magma. Nevertheless, he still stepped inside the tunnel and followed the path Prime created for him.
The tunnel was quite long and showcased how deep beneath the Lumynar lived. As he ventured deeper into the mountain, Simon couldn't help but notice the unique and innovative material used to construct Prime's new home.
The walls of the tunnel were made of a remarkable substance that not only resisted the extreme temperature but also glowed with a soft, ethereal light. It was a mesmerizing sight, and Simon could tell that Prime's engineering skills were exceptional.
Finally, after diving down for more than fifteen hundred meters, Simon arrived at Prime's new living quarters, located in the heart of the magma chamber.
The chamber itself was an awe-inspiring sight, with molten lava flowing all around them, illuminating the space with an intense, fiery glow. But what caught Simon's attention was the remarkable base that Prime had created within the magma chamber.
The base was made of a combination of rare minerals and magical alloys, carefully crafted to withstand the extreme heat of the magma. Despite the intense temperature surrounding it, the base remained cool and sturdy, a testament to Prime's mastery of his craft.
The walls of the base were adorned with intricate engravings and glowing runes, which seemed to pulse with energy.
"How do you like my new home?" Prime who was waiting for Simon in front of his new house asked with swagger.
Simon glanced at the new base the other party had created, there were various chambers and rooms, each serving a specific purpose.
Prime had thoughtfully designed the place to be both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Not only that, at the centrepiece of the base was a massive crystal that floated at its core, radiating a calming blue light.
This crystal, Prime explained, acted as a stabilizer for the base, harnessing the raw energy of the magma and converting it into a power source for various systems.
Simon was thoroughly impressed by the ingenuity and sophistication of Prime's new home. It was a marvel of engineering and wonder, a testament to Prime's talent and resourcefulness.
"I have to say, you've done an incredible job with this place, Prime. It's truly a masterpiece. I can see that you've put a lot of thought and effort into its design".
Prime grinned proudly, his body glowing with satisfaction "Right right.. you saying that makes me happier. Compared to my last base, this is an upgrade of sorts. I wanted to create a space that would not only withstand the extreme conditions but also serve as a sanctuary for me. A place where I can train, study, and forge anything that I want to".
"Well, you've certainly succeeded," Simon replied, nodding approvingly. "This base is a perfect reflection of your skills and abilities. It's befitting of an Administrator".
That's right, Prime had been selected by the dungeon for the position of Administrator, a role that was second only to the Guardians. Simon had received the notification on the second day of bringing Prime into his dungeon.
Since Irene had already told him that Prime's ability would be quite helpful to him, he didn't ponder for too long before pressing on the [Yes] option. And so from then on, Prime officially became the newest member/inhabitant of the dungeon and an [Administrator] alongside the Valkyries.
"I have to thank you for that. Who knew you had a place as advanced as this? I know that the Null Elemental was the one to create all of this; however, without your will and knowledge, something like this isn't possible even for that thing".
"Brat how did you come up with these ideas? Although not as advanced as the civilisation I am from, it's not too shabby either" Prime spoke glancing towards Simon in wonder.
To call a floor that was an industrial and engineering marvel, a hub for manufacturing that produced the powerful Andromedas, Revenants and the other War Machines, shabby? Perhaps in this whole world of Althaea, Prime was the only one to think like that.
Although his brows twitched at that indirect jab at something he prided on, Simon still maintained his composure. If not because he knew that Prime came from a highly advanced civilisation, he would have thought that was an insult.
However, judging from the tone of the other party and the lights coming out of their body, it appeared that he was actually praising the place.
"Sigh.. you have a weird way of praising things. Anyways, what were you up to?".
"Oh right, come with me, I will show you something. I found these thing abandoned in the junkyard, so I brought them here and have been building it by taking the scraps from the junkyard".
At Simon's query, Prime gave him a trip of the base he created. Inside the base, there were various chambers and rooms, each serving a specific purpose. For example, there is a library filled with ancient tomes and knowledge from all corners of the world.
Then there were numerous forges and laboratories equipped with all kinds of latest and old equipment, to allow Prime to create anything that he wants.
Seeing all of these inconceivable and never before seen things, Simon was curious as to where did the Lumynar get all these items from. The designs of the things here were very alien to him, indicating that these were all items that Prime brought with him.
