In the world of Moe King, I became the ruler of ice.

However, the blood flowing within this dragon's body is of the holy and light attribute, which is quite rare.

"If those guys from the Western Church found out, they'd probably be dumbfounded..."

A curious smile appeared on Granstad's lips; he was indeed somewhat tempted.

He remembered that those guys in the Western Church liked to define monsters like them as evil beings, and their most common method was to use holy magic to physically exorcise them.

They and Rimuru are planning to establish a monster kingdom, which will inevitably put them at odds with the Western Church.

Just as Gransta was pondering, Rimuru suddenly pulled him aside.

"And you still say you're not tempted?"

Rimuru rolled his eyes and gave Gransta a lewd grin.

"Everyone else has left, why are you still looking?"

Gransta smiled. Rimuru always liked to tease him for no reason, and that kind of personality was really a headache.

"Rimuru, I value her dragon bloodline, not what you think."

Rimuru's smile grew even more smug.

"Gransta, that's 60% dragon blood concentration! She might actually be able to transform into a dragon. Why not just take her as her mount?"

"Hehe, I think it's pretty good..."

Gransta was speechless. Why did Rimuru always bring up mounts? Besides, Rimuru wasn't even his subordinate, yet he was already talking about how to ride one.

Seriously, is that really polite of you?

"The probability of transforming into a dragon is indeed somewhat high... but I still prefer the ice attribute... so..."

However, the more Gransta explained, the more varied Rimuru's expressions became.

"Rimuru, stop laughing... [Great Sage] Aren't you going to do something about this?"

"The Great Sage: Hah~"

Gransta simply ignored Rimuru and focused on how the battlefield soul collection was going.

Actually, he didn't come to the sky to chat with Rimuru for no reason. Instead, he released a large magic circle above the entire battlefield.

The purpose of this magic circle is to absorb the souls that dissipate on the battlefield. Without the protection of a barrier, souls dissipate very quickly, and about 20% of them will be wasted.

But none of that matters. Even if I absorb 80%, I can still collect tens of thousands of souls.

Of course, Rimuru was also asked to help with this process. It would be difficult for Gransta to complete such a soul-collecting magic circle by himself; he needed the help of the Great Sage's abilities.

Gransta felt he had collected enough; it should be enough to upgrade the [Overlord]!

"How many souls has the [Overlord] collected so far?"

A mechanical, emotionless voice sounded.

"Report: The soul-collecting magic has successfully collected 18,000 souls. Do you wish to proceed with the extraction?"

really

Seeing that the souls had been collected to a sufficient extent, Gransta confirmed the extraction without hesitation.

"Extraction successful."

"Soul power detected. Automatic upgrade initiation!"

"Current upgrade progress is 92%..."

A series of notification sounds rang in Gransta's mind, and a look of joy appeared on his face as well.

Rimuru, who was still searching for the Orc Lord's shadow, quickly noticed the change in Gransta's expression and asked curiously.

"What's wrong? Did you find the Pig-Headed Emperor?"

Gulansta shook his head, a joyful smile spreading across his face.

"There's good news: [The Overlord] is coming back."

Rimuru was also taken aback when he heard this good news. He knew that Gransta was different from him and was not naturally reincarnated into this world.

Instead, after being transported to an unknown world, he was reborn in the world where Rimuru resides by crossing spatial dimensions through the Overlord.

Finally, with the help of the Storm Dragon's magic, Gransta successfully evolved, but then it was too exhausted and fell into a deep sleep, leaving only an empty shell.

"Gransta, congratulations!"

Rimuru was also happy for Gransta.

He had previously had the Great Sage analyze it for him; Gransta's magic power was several times that of his own, and now he could even unleash the true power of a Dominator.

Rimuru said he'd better avoid messing around with Gransta in the future; he was already outmatched, and now it's even worse...

The Overlord is a skill that even a Great Sage cannot analyze, so you can imagine how terrifying it is.

"I think I'll probably be bullied by you again in the future, and just thinking about it makes me sad!"

Gransta shook his head and smiled, "It's just that Rimuru has been getting more and more mischievous lately."

"I wonder what the new abilities of the [Overlord] will be after the upgrade."

"Is there any need to say more? It's definitely more powerful than my [Great Sage]... Ah, I accidentally blurted out my true thoughts..."

"The Great Sage:....."

Rimuru looked bitter; his Great Sage seemed angry and was ignoring him. However, Rimuru was also thick-skinned and began to comfort himself with his skills.

Granda saw Rimuru comforting the Great Sage and thought, "Heh, that's just how it is!"

Suddenly, a notification sound rang out.

Gulansta's expression froze for a moment, and a glimmer of anticipation began to appear in his heart.

"Consuming 10,000 Soul Points, [Dominator] upgrade progress 100%, upgrade successful!"

"Reloading computing power... Loading successful! Cancel smart hosting."

After waiting expectantly for a long time, a gentle, human-like female voice rang in his mind.

"Lord Gransta, it's been a long time."

The voice was very gentle, and Gransta was stunned for a moment when he heard it.

"The Overlord...it's been quite a while since we've seen him..."

"I'm still getting used to you suddenly becoming so human."

Gransta hadn't expected the Dominator's first words after successfully leveling up to be like this. And the tone was so much more human than before.

"Lord Gransta, this upgrade not only restored all the damage, but also, with the help of this soul power, transformed it into a spiritual entity of intelligent life."

Intelligent life form/spiritual entity?

Gransta never imagined that his skills could possess their own intelligence and consciousness. After all, his abilities hadn't even awakened yet...

"Lord Gransta, let me analyze your status information!"

Gulansta nodded without hesitation.

"Start parsing..."

"Vital signs are all normal... Magic corridors are functioning normally... Magic energy is being stored..."

After a sound.

"Lord Gransta, I am organizing your skills and creating a skill tree. All acquired and synthesized skills will be stored in the skill tree."

If that's the case, then he can have these skills managed and synthesized by the Overlord System in the future.

It can also automatically use the abilities of the mutants to synthesize abilities that are useful to Granstas, without him having to test them one by one.
