"I have another method for reinforcement, and with this method, it’s possible we could eliminate all those wizards."

The Xiao Female Dragon spoke with a hint of mystery.

All dragons instinctively turned their gaze toward her.

"Just say it directly, it’s not the time to keep secrets now, is it?"

"You all know about Doroshi being an Enchanting Demon, right?

Her ability to become a deity is all thanks to me and Land."

"Yeah... how did you manage that?"

"Ascension Skill!"

"Ascension Skill? The Karsas Ascension Skill?"

"No, it’s different from that, much simpler. If executed correctly, anyone can become a deity!"

At this moment, a brilliant light exploded in the eyes of all the dragons.

"However, this Ascension Skill does have some drawbacks.

One’s personality may change because of it.

Similarly, you would be bound to the world where you become a deity.

If the world perishes, then you as a deity shall perish too."

The Xiao Female Dragon suddenly spoke with seriousness.

"But so what? As long as it grants more power to avenge Land, what’s wrong with twisting one’s consciousness?"

The Blue Dragon third-in-line, Doris, was the first to speak up.

Having failed to mate with Land before he perished, she was clearly furious.

But the other dragons fell into silence.

Twisting consciousness.

Would one still be oneself?

Dragons are proud, free.

Though as the quintet sisters of the Five-Colored Dragons, always under Land’s command, there seemed to be no freedom.

But that was their willing acceptance.

They had the right to choose.

If they truly wished to leave, Land wouldn’t have stopped them.

They had the autonomy to choose.

But twisting consciousness.

That kind of magic had always been a forbidden presence.

Even the Five-Colored Dragons, being wicked, would seldom want to use it.

Think about it.

If a group of wicked Five-Colored Dragons were twisted into good Metal Dragons, even if just temporarily, it would be more unbearable than killing them!

It would forever be a laughing stock among the Five-Colored Dragons.

"Is this really okay?"

A dragon couldn’t help but look at Doris with worry.

But another dragon corrected:

"Land isn’t dead, stop speaking such nonsense!"

"Those damn wizards completely dashed my hope of success, haven’t they essentially taken away half my purpose in this world?

So hateful! I must annihilate them."

Doris showed a frustrated and furious expression.

The other dragons were somewhat speechless about it.

Your wish was just to overpower Land?

Though they wished too, but wasn’t this way too insistent?

Failing the mission, not even caring about twisted consciousness!

Yet the Xiao Female Dragon looked on with admiration:

"A commendable will, if you become a deity in the future, when Land returns, I shall speak on your behalf to let you mate with him."

"..."

The other dragons fell silent at these words.

The reason was tempting, but the problem was, Land was gone!

Soon.

The dragons approached Doroshi, with the assistance of this Enchanting Demon Goddess’s divine power.

Their strength significantly increased.

Thus embarked on a long journey to conquer the Otherworld.

However, having experienced together with Land, Xiao Female Dragon Fiona actually had some special techniques.

She first went to the worlds that had been previously infected, captured them, and then departed for other worlds.

With their power.

Ordinary dimensions couldn’t possibly resist them.

After occupying these planes.

Because Rainbow Dragon Sindri understood that even extreme individual strength could certainly be neutralized.

Hence, forming a team led by Dragon People to bring together talents from various planes, develop new technologies or combined energy usage.

Thus, time quickly flew by.

..........

In the black hole.

Land persisted.

But being in this boundless darkness.

No communication or interaction with anyone.

Like being locked in a dark room.

Though Land was a dragon now, he was bored to insanity.

But at this moment, he was sucked into the black hole, unable to control his body, nor even capable of shutting his consciousness.

Could only endure silently.

This made him increasingly uncomfortable, maniacal.

Even ceaselessly thinking, maybe dying would be better?

But each time, the dragon’s intense revengeful heart drove him to persist, then pursue ruthless vengeance.

In this contradictory situation.

Land’s mental state grew more unstable.

Time slowly drifted by.

Unknown how long had passed.

[Fame] XIV unlocked, bringing Land 18 potential points.

Physical growth reached 403 as a result.

This brought some light to his near-insanity mental state, vastly uplifting him.

Once the next [Fame] is unlocked, he can escape!

But the unlocking of the next [Fame] waited eagerly, yet to no avail.

This filled Land’s heart with immense impatience.

He felt his bodily energy nearly exhausted.

With only about 5% left.

Is he really going to die here?

His thoughts grew increasingly erratic, maniacal in such circumstances.

Until.

Another system notification.

Brought him back to his nature from madness.

"[Influence] VII!

Your sister Fiona Saphis Oakben, on your behalf, established the [Giant Dragon Royal Court], leading your followers, waging wars in Otherworld, while continuously expanding territory, influence, and gathering followers.

Due to which a new achievement is unlocked.

You gained 7 potential points."

Hmm?

Ah?

Fiona?

Land listened to the system notification, stunned for a long while.

But quickly, immense joy filled his heart.

"Fiona that fool, finally did something right again! Excellent! Excellent! Fantastic! With her progress.

Raising physical growth to 420 is much easier now!

I can escape before energy runs out! Then, all the wizards will be obliterated!

Wait for me! Wait for me! I shall return!"

He incessantly roared in his heart.

At this moment.

Physical growth reached 410.

Almost...

Land awaited eagerly.

The truth proved Xiao Female Dragon Fiona did not let him down, when energy was about 4% left.

[Influence] VIII unlocked.

Physical growth reached 418.

Now, just 2 points left.

Whether by unlocking [Influence] or [Fame], he could exceed 420, complete the target mission, and gain new talent points.

The final wait felt eternal.

In the boundless darkness, Land was more frenetic and desperate.

Each day he lived off hatred, calculating remaining energy to pass.

Estimating energy dropping from 4% to 3% to 2% without system notice drove Land mad.

Til it decreased to 1%.

The system’s beautiful voice finally chimed again.

[Influence] IX unlocked in this manner.

Physical growth reached 427 points.

Along with acquiring a mind talent point, Land was awakened again.

Land wanted to allocate points instantly.

Yet immediately, confusion struck him.

Because previously, he could only allocate points in slumber.

But now in the black hole, there was no concept of slumber.

How to allocate points.

Fortunately, his cheat seemed not completely foolish.

As the idea arose in his mind.

Immediately a notification echoed:

"Your urgent, intense desire generates an ability to aid your escape from the black hole.

But regrettably, the black hole’s formidable force restricts your use of any energy-driven abilities.

You’re unable to escape."

"How... how could it be? Am I really going to die here?"

Upon receiving the message, Land went mad again.

Uncertain of how long madness lasted, until sensing energy nearly depleted, survival instinct returned him to normal.

Turning his wish into motivation to live.

Pushed by this desire.

The singular talent point invested once more into [Undying Body].

"Your [Undying Body] escalated to the [Undying] status."
