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!

"...Strictly speaking, the Iron Queen cannot be considered Ninth Rank."


After a long silence in the awkward atmosphere, Ybur said, "She is a manufactured Fake Ninth Rank... She is a rigid machine, and may not necessarily be able to compete with the Void Ghost King."


"I have also heard of the Iron Queen. She is the highest technological achievement of the Glo Empire in the past."


The Dragon Emperor watched Ybur with his calm golden eyes and slowly said, "For a long time, the Glo Empire has been exploring the topic of an Artificial God. For powerful Spellcasters, creating an Eighth Rank Constructed Magic Statue, also known as an Essence Magic Statue, is not impossible if costs are disregarded. Although extremely expensive, it's a feasible technology that has been repeatedly verified. But... Ninth Rank is on a whole other level."
