Darius simply explained through concepts that it was now stronger and had a new element, as the previous one had been bad for gathering Soul Energy. With this new one, it was guaranteed to get at least 5x more Soul Energy.
This revelation excited the core and it thanked him. Darius could only retract his Mind Power tendrils with a weird expression, as the core shooed him away in order to remodel everything quickly.
He turned to Gunner and left through the portal that the core created that led back to their instance. From there, the duo climbed the stairs that had appeared in this instance as the boss was now dead.
In the blink of an eye, Darius and Gunner were on the surface once more. They turned to see that the dungeon behind them was now slightly larger and there was vegetation growing near its entrance slowly but surely.
Darius Analyzed the dungeon once more to see the changes.

Darius chuckled. It seemed as if the elitist Transmutation ability had struck again. It had not only increased the durability of the entire dungeon by 50,000 points, but had also increased the maximum instances from a mere 100 to 100,000.
The persons per instance had also increased tenfold, from 50 to 500, which was a lot. Of course, all of this was likely the result of the Dungeon Core no longer being damaged.
However, Darius knew for a fact that the Energy Gathering Rate and Efficiency that were now extremely high were definitely an effect of his Transmutation ability, as those were dictated by the core and not the dungeon in its entirety.
Whatever the case, he had seen what he needed to, and now it was time to set things in motion. As such, Darius removed a Bag of Holding from his Inventory, and placed it on the ground.
With a snap of his finger, everything within was released at once, appearing neatly in rows and columns in front of the bag. They were silver metal balls that looked like they were cracked, with lines running through them.
Darius checked and saw that all 500 were here and nodded his head. He then took out a strange bracelet that looked similar to what joggers used to measure their vitals during their exercises.
He clamped the bracelet on his right wrist and called out. "Activate."
He winced as the bracelet manifested strange needles that pierced into his wrist from underneath and drew his blood and DNA. The screen lit up with a hologram, as a faceless feminine figure of bluish color hovered above the display.
She stood there and spoke in a cold emotionless tone. "Initiating… checking system configuration… registering DNA of owner… done."
The AI bowed. "Greetings User. Please furnish me with your name and details, as well as your configuration for the system."
Darius nodded. "Darius Stone, age 18, profession Mage. Currently at the Journeyman stage. Create a datasheet of my persona and tabulate stats as follows…"
Darius proceeded to furnish the AI with many details about himself, most of them truthful and direct. The reason he did this was simple, as this bracelet was Gravitas' latest technology, the HoloBrace.
Normally, it should not be this effective with an AI of its own, but rather need to be connected to a network which had a main AI. In other words, without wifi, this bracelet was as useless as scrap.
However, this bracelet had been transmuted at a high cost from the former old generation digital tablet that he possessed. He had successfully combined it with the AI chip, giving birth to some strange device that was like a futuristic tablet.
However, due to its portability, Darius experimented and guessed that Gravitas should have such a device, as something similar had appeared on Earth by 2030.
He was right. The bracelet retained its internal AI and with the Transmutation's elitist ability, something really special had been born. He only activated it now because he needed it for a specific purpose.
"Data registered, profile for owner Darius Stone created. Continuing setup… error, detected no outlet for connection to network… create unique intranet?" The AI asked after a while.
Darius breathed in deeply. He had tried to overestimate this AI, but it turned out he had still underestimated it.
Did it want to create its own unique intranet? Of course, it should!
With this, Darius could create anything from Gravitas and register it in this intranet for his AI to manage, meaning he could have his own slice of modern tech on this shitty continent.
After all, Gravitas hated their products from going outside due to fear of creating technological competition, so they had locked everything to their unique intranet. That was why Darius had never bothered to make anything outside the tablet, and even on the tab, all he had been able to do was to play games.
Now, he could become a walking server. This served his current task even better, as he had hoped to brute force it, but there was no need to do so anymore.
"Please create a unique intranet. Name it the Supreme Portal." Darius assented.
"Acknowledged… creating…. Done. Supreme Portal intranet created. Detecting network limitations… detected no limitations, the network can handle any load."
"Storing profile and registration data on the most secure database within the intranet cloud… done. Please specify any setup changes needed, Owner Darius Stone."
Darius pondered for a bit. "Change AI template from default to customized. Connect to my memories, and extract data about target: Miranda Stone. Copy her physical form and personality based on my memories of her during ages 5-9."
Darius wasn't sure if the AI could do this, as he was giving commands based on the technology he knew from his own time. He was just hoping that the Transmutation's ability had buffed it enough that it reached the pinnacle of technology.
"Order received… accessing… extracting… remodeling… done." The AI reported coldly.
"Changing external display and internal configuration."
