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 pondered for a moment, the urge in his heart immediately stirred: "Okay!"


It transformed its body into a flowing water-like state and carefully squeezed through a crack to the outside of the room.


This water-like state, although at first glance might be mistaken for a transition from Ice Element to Water Element, was fundamentally different. Some extremely powerful Elemental Creatures indeed could shift between ice and water elements, but Ybur couldn't, it merely concealed its ice element characteristics, more prominently displaying the flexible and changeable nature of the Aether Element instead.
