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 stumbled through the Space Gate, smacking onto the ground with a thud.


He hadn't even had the chance to fully perceive the illusions around him when he was hit by a sensation akin to "lack of oxygen" — the Transcendent Power in the environment was extremely sparse, and elements were practically nonexistent. The power from his Path within felt as if it had been locked in place, sluggish... Ybur quickly realized, this was a "Root-Origin Dead Zone"!


The "dead" in Root-Origin Dead Zone did not refer to the Undead, but rather to a zone where all Transcendent Power was nearly extinct. There was a Seventh Rank Spell called "return to ordinariness" that could achieve this effect, but it didn't have a large coverage area and its duration wasn't very long. And this place... Yes, powerful Spellcasters could create such an environment in their own Half-Plane, but it required an Eighth Rank Spell to do so!


In other words... this dragon was an Eighth Rank Spellcaster!
