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 Fungus Lord's digestion process was a bit faster than Ybur had anticipated—it had omitted the fact that, as it increased in size, its eating and digestive abilities were also rising correspondingly.


However, as its body rapidly expanded, Ybur suddenly realized a problem.


It was originally preparing to perform the Awakened's ritual for Perfection of body and mind. But the Ritual required certain preparations before its commencement, including fasting, abstaining from drinking, and sleep deprivation. This was mainly to make the participants fall into a state of weakness and hunger, since in the philosophy of the Path of Perfection, when a person's flesh and mind both become frail, their true "essence" would then stand out.


Slimes are different from humanoid creatures; when a slime gets hungry, it digests itself. Its massive body in itself is like a reserve of food.
