Winter Snow Thousand Cat Lanterns

The vast Dream Sea, atop layers of miracles and magnificence, where Transcendents walk the ascendant path guided by their ultimate longings as if by beacons.
The supreme beings wielded power, their greatness shining in all directions, ascending to divinity.
But even deities were not the ultimate. They too struggled for greater perfection and ideals, endlessly, within the Void Origin, above the Dream Sea.
"So... Your Majesty Ybur, as the most powerful Slime in history, what exactly drives you to become stronger?"
Many years later, when faced with the question from a Heavenly envoy, Ybur, who by then stood at the zenith of the Dream Realm as the "World Devourer," recalled the afternoon just after his birth when the Creator had stuffed him down a golden toilet and flushed him into the sewers in one go...
After a long silence, he spoke with a heavy tone:
"It's the toilet. The golden toilet."
The envoy: "???"

I, a Slime, have also dreamed of becoming a great Demon King!

The logic behind the Shadow Dragon Ritual is actually quite clear. A ritual is a form of spell, and Ruby, who has a solid foundation in spellcasting, has created a book spirit, Sherry, that, while not an expert in this area, can be considered a scholar. She saw through the entire ritual at a glance.


In essence, it's about activating the latent Dragon's Bloodline within the scales, imitating it with Shadow Power, and finally having the caster themselves guide it, manipulating the Shadow Power to take on the form of a dragon, and using their own body and Spiritual Secret Source as the support for the existence of the Shadow Dragon.


If what the Gnoll High Priest said is true, and it has successfully performed this Ritual once before, then Ybur's conditions should also be able to meet the demands of the Ritual.
