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!

Ybur charged forward again, but this time, Arcado chose to dodge.


Instead of clashing head-on with Ybur, he opted to retreat. After creating some distance, he stomped his foot, flapped his wings, and soared into the air with an agility that belied his rugged exterior, setting his sights on Cherie and the others.


This suspected mud-golem shapeshifter was no match for him in sheer strength and agility, making Arcado even doubt whether the opponent was of the Third Rank—if they were both Third Rank, then the shapeshifter's sharp claws should have been able to penetrate the defense of another shapeshifter of the same rank. Under such a ferocious assault, he would not have escaped with mere light injuries by now, he might have been pierced through by the Spikes from the very first collision.
