Starting from Ainz Ooal Gown, simultaneously traveling through time

"This power...is much stronger than expected."

Leylin, still sensing the lingering effect of those words that had instantly turned into law and burned everything within a kilometer, assessed the situation in his mind.

When the dragon Leylin used this move, "Words Become Law," it didn't have such a world-changing effect.

The reason remains the same—the "Mana," or elemental energy, in this world is far more concentrated and active than in the Dragon World.

Manipulating the fire element here is like striking a match in a high-purity fuel vat; a single spark can ignite a raging storm of flames that engulfs everything.

What he just did was more like issuing an absolute command to "burn" to a region, and the abundant energy of heaven and earth amplified and carried out this command frantically.

"The scale of destruction from that attack just now far exceeds the sixth and seventh tier magic I know of..." Leylin silently compared.

"By YGGDRASIL's standards, this must be at least tenth-tier power, or even surpasses tenth-tier power, right?"

"It might even be comparable to the performance of some super-tier magic."

But he immediately shook his head, suppressing this slightly optimistic estimate.

"No, we can't get this cocky. Super-tier magic is one of the ultimate methods for level 100 players, and its real-world manifestation may be far more terrifying than the game descriptions or anime scenes."

"My strength is still growing and adapting. It's better to underestimate myself than to overestimate myself and end up getting hurt."

The tests are complete, and the strength data is almost all collected. Now the question is—

The vast obsidian plain, smooth as a mirror, that suddenly appeared in the yellow sand was simply too eye-catching.

"Well, what's done can't be completely erased." Leylin quickly made a decision.

"Instead of going to great lengths to cover up a trace that can't be completely hidden, it's better to give it a reasonable 'explanation,' as long as it doesn't lead people to associate it with me."

With a thought, he deliberately left a faint yet pure dragon aura on the Obsidian Plains.

This oppressive aura seemed to be branded into the air, silently proclaiming: the strange phenomena here are the work of a giant dragon.

"In this way, investigators will first associate it with a powerful dragon, rather than a human prince."

Leilin nodded in satisfaction.

He then carefully cleaned up all the subtle traces he had left behind, including residual magic, aura, and footprints. After confirming that everything was correct, he used magic to instantly leave the desert.

..............................

About ten minutes later, a huge shadow swept across the sky above the sand sea.

The newcomer was a giant dragon with a strange shape.

Its scales are not thick keratin, but rather like the purest glass or crystal, crystal clear, reflecting a dazzling brilliance in the sunlight.

It is one of the true rulers of this vast, desolate desert—the Translucent Dragon.

Not long ago, it keenly sensed that the elements in a certain part of the desert were in violent disorder, as if they had been violently stirred up by an invisible giant hand, and that's why it came to investigate.

When it saw the vast, flat plain below, which stretched out like a black mirror, even the dragon, with its extensive knowledge, couldn't help but gasp.

"...What kind of power caused this?"

It was clear that this was not a landscape that could be shaped in a short time by natural forces such as lightning strikes or meteorites.

Beneath the sea of ​​sand lies the ruins of an ancient Scorpion-Man Kingdom, but none of those ruins are in such a brand-new and orderly state of destruction.

"Was it the true Dragon King's arrival? Or the work of some 'Preya' who happened to be passing by?"

The translucent dragon was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

Soon, it caught a wisp of the strange and majestic dragon's might that had been deliberately left in the air.

"As expected, there is someone of the same kind... No, the essence of this pressure is extremely high, and their strength may far surpass mine."

The translucent dragon felt a chill run down its spine.

Although it rules this desert, it knows that there are always higher realms beyond.

Regardless of who caused the current situation or what their purpose was, it is not a murky place that it is willing to easily get involved in.

"...It's better to avoid trouble. Let's just pretend we didn't see it."

After a moment's deliberation, the translucent dragon chose to proceed with caution.

It did not explore further, but merely took a deep look at the "Obsidian Plains" before flapping its enormous, glass-like wings and turning to fly away.

During its flight, it flew over a nomadic tribe of subhumans that was migrating.

The translucent dragon glanced at it casually, found no strong energy reaction, and then left without paying any attention.

However, the demi-humans on the ground were extremely excited by this "fleeting glimpse".

"It's the Radiant Dragon God! The Dragon God has manifested!"

"Supreme Lord of the Desert, please bless your people!"

The old and young in the tribe knelt down and prayed devoutly in the direction where the dragon had disappeared.

Led by their chief, the tribe, filled with awe and curiosity, headed in the direction where the translucent dragon had seemingly landed briefly, hoping to witness the "miracle."

Then they discovered the incredible "Obsidian Plain".

The scene before them left them utterly shocked:

"This...this must be the power of the Dragon God!"

"The great, luminous dragon god has transformed endless yellow sand into a black gemstone plain!"

"This is a true miracle! It's a revelation left to us by the Dragon God!"

They naturally associated this spectacular sight with the translucent dragon flying overhead, and their worship reached its peak.

From then on, the myth of "the dragon god creating the Black Gem Plain with a wave of his claws" spread like wildfire throughout the desert tribes as this nomadic tribe migrated and told the tale.

All the demi-humans who heard of and eventually saw this plain believed it without a doubt.

All these coincidences and legends have long since lost any connection to the departed Leylin.

..............................

After leaving the desert, Leylin flew at high speed for several hours and arrived at a remote, rolling mountain range.

"This place is remote and suitable for conducting the second test."

He intends to test the power of other fused forces here.

As usual, first use detection magic to scan the surrounding environment.

Feedback indicates that there are no traces of human activity, but the life responses are... unusually dense and massive.

"Hmm?" Leylin looked at it carefully, a strange expression on his face.

"Wow, it's a group of 'old friends'."

Goblin.

But they were by no means ordinary scattered soldiers.

Below, in the ravines and caves, lies a goblin tribe of astonishing size—

They have formed a tight social structure and have even begun to build crude city walls and watchtowers, resembling a rising goblin kingdom!

"This is truly... something I've never seen before in my life."

Lei Lin was quite surprised.

It is rare for goblins to form a settlement of this size, and it is unheard of for them to establish a nation.

He further probed the composition of this "kingdom's" power structure, and the results surprised him slightly once again.

"Level 30?! A hero-level individual can actually appear among goblins?"

The vast majority of goblins are still level 1-5 weaklings, with a few elites reaching around level 10.

But the burly goblin leader at the center of the colony, wearing a rough bone crown, had an energy level of 30!

This has completely exceeded the racial limits of ordinary goblins.

"This is probably their 'king.' This mutation is extremely unusual. How did they manage to do it?"

Raylin instantly changed his mind about directly testing the clearing of the field.

A plan took shape in his mind.

"Don't rush to destroy them. Let's quietly capture this goblin hero and carefully study why it broke through the racial restrictions."

"If there is any replicable secret or opportunity within it... perhaps it could provide a new approach to improving the overall strength of humanity."

In this world where humanity is oppressed, any opportunity that may strengthen a group is worth exploring.

A sharp glint flashed in Leylin's eyes as he silently disappeared into the shadows of the mountains.
