After the Grand Giant Blazing Drake Wolf Tyrant Overlord was butchered and eaten, another Boss spawned, which was a large and serpentine dragon with a crown of horns and the ability to inflate its throat like a frog to throw a large number of flames that covered almost the entire floor.

The monster was named Giant Blazing Wyrm Tyrant King Overlord, this monster seemed weaker than the previous Boss, but it covered a wider range with its attacks. Imagining normal human adventurers fighting this creature would only result in my mind showing them all dying by being grilled alive.

To make things interesting, the Boss changed its pattern and attacks when its Health Points reached halfway through, its red scales would turn gold, and instead of flames, it would release cannons of pressurized thunder from its mouth, dealing catastrophic damage to the room, making it tremble continuously.

It took longer than we expected, but the younglings managed to defeat it with the aid of their older siblings. Its meat was slim and flexible, and it was tender when cooked, tasting similarly to eel.

After a few hours that we spent cooking and feasting more, the third boss of this floor appeared, it seemed to be the weakest of the three. It was a quadrupedal Drake with a turtle-like red-colored shell covered in many jewels that amplified its magic capacity.

The Boss was named Giant Blazing Thunder Shell Drake Tyrant Emperor. Its attacks were slow and predictable, and it could only attack with its breath, which was not as strong as the one released by the Giant Blazing Wyrm Tyrant King Overlord.

It could hide itself into its shell and then spin at greater speeds while charging itself with electricity as a desperate measure, but this would quickly drain its Mana and Stamina and would become weakened after this rampage was done, creating many openings that my children abused to attain victory and defeat it.

The shell was rather delicious, and it possessed many precious jewels and minerals that could cost a fortune in some of the Human Societies, but for me, it was a mere aperitive. After eating these materials, I was able to replicate them through my Creation Skill.

The meat of this Boss, although it was the weakest of the three, was the most flavorful, tender, and juicy of the three. It had a grilled hint on its flavor, and when it was roasted or made into skewers, the juices created by the grease of the meat would increase its flavor even more.

It was an overall delicious meal, although I have eaten higher quality meat, they were still rather high in my mental ranking of food.

Nyzzet recently woke up from a nap that only lasted eight hours, as he glanced once again at Kireina's adventure. She had already spent a few days in his dungeon, but she seemed to not mind at all.

"Just how can she have fun inside a dungeon? She seems to enjoy the simple act of exploring a dungeon, even if the monsters inside are clearly below her current strength… though, it seems that she had slowly become a bit stronger than before… so even by devouring lowly monsters weaker than her, she can still increase her strength… she is certainly a frightful being. Phew, I am glad that I am on her side" muttered Nyzzet in between yawns.

Nyzzet scanned the dungeon with his eyes as he glanced at the last floors that Kireina had left to explore, in there, greater monsters such as Thunder Dragons, Great Thunder Wyverns, Thunder Behemoths, and Thunder Leviathans roamed freely through the strange biomes.

"The last floors increase in difficulty quite a lot compared to the previous eighty, but I suppose that it wouldn't be of any trouble for Kireina-sama… so I am worrying for nothing, I suppose" muttered Nyzzet.

As he glanced at Kireina hunting the dungeon bosses, he began to recall his memories of when he was a younger dragon.

In that time, he had been born from one of Tiamat, the Great Dragoness Goddess of Fertility and Motherhood's eggs. An egg that contained the power of the Thunder Attribute.

Although Nyzzet was born as a rather talented child between his vast amount of siblings, he never developed the intent of improving or becoming stronger or braver. He did all of it mostly because his own mother, Tiamat, order it to him.

"Nyzzet, you have to grow strong so you can keep living as you please. I do not want to force you to go to wars against other gods. But I only want your survival… I will not be there to take care of you for the rest of your life, as I am the mother of many, and I also have many responsibilities across many Realms…" said Tiamat to Nyzzet in that time, many years in the past when the Realm of Vida had just been born.

"But mother, I don't want to work hard, I just want to relax and sleep," said Nyzzet… since he was born, despite his great talent for fighting, he was always a sloth amongst his siblings.

"Well, it is within our nature as Dragons to relax and slumber for many years to recover energy into our large and powerful physical bodies… but you have to realize that this world, despite showing a seeming peace… is still very hostile. This is why at least I want you to reach God Rank, so most of the smaller and common threats cannot touch you anymore" said Tiamat with a gentle slime, she understood her son nature and didn't want to disturb his way of living, but still desired his safety as any mother would.

"What a pain… but okay, I will try," said Nyzzet. In that time he had just reached Rank 7 as a Living Deity, he needed two more ranks to reach Demigod Rank, and then another nine ranks were needed as a Demigod to reach the Rank of a God, which was the 'safest' rank in terms of strength.

Most of the god's population were demigods, so becoming a god would make you stronger than most of the population, meaning that you would be safer and fewer gods would seek to mess with you… or at least that's how Tiamat thought about it.

Nyzzet understood Tiamat's purpose in saying such words, and decided to accept his mother's help in cultivating his Divine Realm so he could slowly reach Rank 9, become a Demigod, and then a God.

Due to Tiamat being a Great Goddess with many family members, territory, and strength, her resources were vast, and she easily granted them to her son so he could cultivate faster by nourishing his Divine Realm quality.

Gods were able to raise through the ranks by not simply 'cultivating' but by nourishing, improving, and taking care of their Divine Realms. The more materials, the more animals and monsters, and the more fauna were added, the richer the Divine Realm quality would become, and the quicker the god would raise through Ranks.

Of course, Nyzzet also had to fight against a Divine Trial every Rank he reached, but with the help of Tiamat or his siblings, it was as easy as a walk in the park.

He didn't go through many real-life challenges, and his nature as a lazy dragon fermented even more through this lack of experience.

When Tiamat finally left Vida to deal with some troubles stirring in other Realms due to some of her children, Nyzzet had just reached the God Rank at the lower Rank level of 1.

His Divine Realm had grown a lot since back then, as it was immensely large and extensive, with many flora and fauna of the Thunder Attribute that he had acquired through trades or as gifts from his older siblings or mother. The Divine Realm became his new home after Tiamat left with her Divine Realm elsewhere, and he made sure to slack off a lot in it, slumbering for many years through many generations.

Because he had become so strong, despite not having much experience, most of the gods didn't want to mess with Nyzzet, and because he was so silent and secretive, no one could ever find a good reason to start looking for a fight with him.

After a few years, the World's Will come with the order that forced most gods to create their own Dungeons and Children to nourish the world and foment growth.

Nyzzet was rather pained about this but managed to create children by finding a female partner which he only met a few years before both went their own ways. There was not anything romantic about their relationships and both just wanted to fulfill the tasks given by the World's Will.

However, Nyzzet slowly changed as he took care of more and more of his children, the Thunder Dragonoid. His heart slowly melted the icy coverture it had, and he became a rather lovable parent, despite not showing many emotions to his children.

He used his resources and abilities to foment their growth while also giving them a dungeon for them to grow strong.

After many years and many generations of Thunder Dragonoid, some of them managed to reach godhood, becoming Living Deities that accompanied his father on his Divine Realm.

Nyzzet slowly started to build a larger family of those near his level of power… and had even considered creating his own pantheon, as he had long ago left the pantheon made by his siblings, not because of a dispute, but because he wanted to be alone.

This desire of 'wanting to be alone' perhaps saved him a lot of troubles throughout his life, such as the events where his siblings betrayed each other, killed each other, and many other things… he could have been one of such victims as he was rather weak even as a God, but his personality allows him to live through many years despite his weakness.

However, for some reason, Demon Gods became more active as time went on, especially those that were Lone Gods who actively looked for weaker gods to prey on and grow strong… the laws that bid gods through the World's Will were weakening due to the World's Will becoming less strict, and the System slowly merged itself with the world, making things more chaotic and giving countless opportunities to anyone to grow stronger.

Due to seeing such cases of Demon Gods capturing mortal tribes and asking for bribes from their parent gods, Nyzzet decided to prevent this from the beginning, moving all of his children inside his Divine Realm.

The dungeon was left mostly abandoned, until tribes of humans around the Vast Plains began to use it for their resources, and even created their own town around the dungeon to always extract resources from it. Through this cycle, Nyzzet gained Divine Energy passively despite leaving his dungeon abandoned.

Many years went by like this, but things slowly became even worst, as news and events about groups of Demon Gods led by mysterious Demon Gods that we're able to break through Divine Realms an invade unsuspected gods while they were peacefully resting inside their Realms came to Nyzzet's ears.

He slowly became paranoiac as he wondered when it would be his turn… until he got to know about something even more frightening, Kireina… but at the same time, it was perhaps the opportunity he needed.

After finally being able to join Kireina's pantheon, Nyzzet was now quite relaxed about his future, as Kireina amassed more and more power, alongside many gods as allies.

He also found out some of his former siblings in such pantheon, but he was glad that they didn't hold any grudges against him because he left their pantheon before all the chaos were to happen and didn't help them when they needed help the most.

And now, as Nyzzet relaxedly saw how Kireina cleared his dungeon, he felt the presence of something eerie for a split second.

Glancing at the last twenty floors, he could have sworn that he saw a strange and shadowy figure lurking around.

"What…? Could it be a new monster mutation? Perhaps it was my imagination" thought Nyzzet.

Nyzzet checked the floors only to find many monsters fighting against each other as always, and a strangely strong dragon winning.

"Oh, perhaps a youngling with talent has appeared? Their territory will be stolen, it seems" said Nyzzet, who found amusement in glancing the monsters inside his dungeon fight for territory from time to time…

But what he did not know is that this 'youngling' dragon… was more than just a new monster born in the dungeon, but because Nyzzet was far away from his dungeon, he could not discern things as detailed as before…
