Draco's level had already reached Lv90.
After consuming most of the experience points in 'Greed and Desirelessness,' he successfully broke through to the maximum level, Lv100.
Just then, the voice of the world suddenly rang out.
[Influenced by the laws of the other world, the system has initiated automatic correction. Beginning energy supply... Surplus experience points detected... Correction initiated!]
Most of the experience points in 'Greed and Desirelessness' vanished instantly, and Draco suddenly felt his body go weak.
He felt as though his body was about to undergo an evolution.
This was the blessing of the world's laws, the process of becoming a 'True Demon Lord' as recognized by this world.
"So sleepy~"
Draco's vision began to blur, and his consciousness gradually sank into darkness.
"No, I can't stay here to evolve."
Although the meeting room was safe, no one could enter. If anything went wrong, it would be disastrous.
Draco bit the tip of his tongue, struggling to regain clarity.
With a flash of teleportation, he appeared directly in front of Albedo.
"Master!?"
Albedo cried out in surprise. Seeing Draco's stumbling state, she asked urgently, "What's wrong?"
"Take me to my room. I'm... evolving..."
Draco's voice grew lower and lower.
Albedo quickly picked up Draco, teleported back to the room, and placed him on the bed.
"Shuna..."
"Master, now is not the time to be thinking about other women," Albedo said petulantly.
"Idiot... Shuna and the others... these named monsters are in danger... send people immediately... bring them back..."
Draco spoke intermittently, his eyes slowly closing as he finally fell into a deep sleep.
This time, the voice of the world appeared simultaneously in the minds of the monsters connected to Draco via the Soul Corridor.
The next moment.
The beast-eared maidservants on the Ninth Floor, the Ogre Race in the city, and the High-ranking Demons stationed throughout the city all heard this prompt one after another.
Albedo understood after receiving messages from the maids.
(Demiurge, Master is evolving into a Demon Lord and has fallen into a deep sleep.)
(The monsters previously named by Master will fall into a weakened state while receiving their blessings. Take some people to protect them.)
(Understood. Is Lord Draco alright?)
(He's fine. I heard Master mention that this is a normal phenomenon.)
(That's good then.)
After the orders were issued, Albedo silently stayed by Draco's side.
Not long after, Shalltear's figure also appeared in the room.
Looking at Draco lying on the bed, she frowned slightly.
"Why would Master suddenly evolve into a Demon Lord?"
"I don't know. We'll have to wait until Master wakes up to ask him."
...While Draco's consciousness was submerged in darkness, his mind was far from peaceful.
The evolutionary path for humans was not a Demon Lord; the world's laws seemed to have encountered a glitch.
However, the next moment.
[Race template unlocked. Character: Draco. Race: Immortal-type.]
As the voice of the world spoke, Draco, lying motionless on the bed, began to glow with a golden light.
The golden light illuminated the entire bedroom, as dazzling as the sun.
A trace of pain appeared on Draco's face, followed by an incredibly powerful pressure emanating from his body.
Under this pressure, even Albedo and Shalltear in the room could not help but tremble, involuntarily taking two steps back.
This was merely the overflow of Draco's aura.
His body was undergoing an earth-shattering transformation!
[Otherworld Skill Database successfully connected. Requesting ability acquisition. Unique Skills 'Summoner' and 'Source of Time' requesting evolution.]
[Sacrificing Intrinsic Skills 'Advent of the Heavenly Host', 'Savior', and 'Dimensional Manipulation'. Requesting evolution again.]
To celebrate the birth of a new Demon Lord, the world initiated a grand feast of souls.
Within the Nazarick Duchy.
After Demiurge's rapid coordination, a large number of troops entered the city, protecting the High-ranking Demons and Ogre Race who were still at work.
Because there wasn't enough time to move them before Draco's evolution ended, they all collapsed and fell into a deep sleep.
Benimaru arrived in the city with Shiro and the others, only to be hit by an irresistible wave of sleepiness.
"Thud, thud!"
The hundred Ogres behind them collapsed to the ground one after another, falling into a slumber.
Benimaru's body went limp as he fell into Shiro's arms.
"What's going on… so sleepy~"
"Don't be afraid… I'll protect you…"
Benimaru couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.
With Shiro's assurance, Benimaru drifted off in her arms.
Stroking Benimaru's resolute face, Shiro curved her lips in a faint smile.
"Oh, finally found you two."
Demiurge's voice sounded ahead of them; behind him stood a squad of soldiers.
The group was placed under protection at once.
Scenes like this were playing out across the city.
A hundred Ogre city guards and the Red-haired Uncle were on patrol when an overwhelming dizziness struck.
Fortunately, besides the Ogres, many Beast-men were in the ranks; unaffected, they shielded the Ogres.
Shuna had it easiest.
In the Headmaster's Office of the Magic Academy she simply flopped onto the desk and took a noon nap.
Half an hour later, every eye across the city opened.
Evolution complete—everyone!
