Bang!

Her half-lost consciousness returned with a resounding boom.

Losing consciousness just from a fragment hitting her head would be considered a disgrace for a being called the pinnacle of all things.

But she was already so broken that even such a thing seemed insignificant.

-Ah, da...

However, prioritizing the contract to test humanity, she couldn't just cast this power out of her body.

As the 'means' created for it whined in mid-air, Tashian frowned and spoke with blood-stained lips.

"That one is not your dad."

-Dad, daaaad....

"Even if you thrash around like this, nothing changes. Unless that guy says he will take you away..."

-Uwaaaahhhh!!

An ego awakened much faster than expected.

But still, it was just the state of a toddler around 2-3 years old.

Drawn by the tantrum, the mana that was unleashed was wild and rough, not distinguishing between destruction.

Boom!!!

The shockwave caused cracks all over her body, and the dust that poured out settled on the ground.

Normally, it would disperse into dust, but soon, it was drawn back to her body, turning into droplets of blood.

It was inevitable.

The pinnacle of all creation carried such weight even in a single word, and therefore, even whimsical promises must be kept.

Even if her lifespan had exceeded its limit, the world would not allow her death if the contract had not ended.

"...As expected."

But such innate birthright felt like a curse now.

Thus, from the mouth of this transcendent being, what could be called resentment began to leak.

"Indeed, humans should not have been nurtured."

Reflecting on the past that she couldn't settle down due to her inherent curse of disillusionment growing.

Dragon.

The supreme being that used its inherent existence to dominate as part of the world and contributed to shaping this world, the pinnacle of all creation...

But from the moment their mission to complete the world ended, their descendants lost their sense of existence entirely.

No matter how powerful, there was nowhere appropriate to use that power, and nothing existed above them, so everything in the world seemed trivial.

"Ah, ma. Mama...."

Volcano Dragon, Tashian Pheloi.

She, who made her home in a volcano, wandered the world due to a whim born at the end of her empty life.

Tired of sleeping, she thought it wouldn't be bad to experience whatever came her way during her travels.

"Do you not have a mother?"

"Waaaahhh!!"

Yes, it all started with the cradle that floated down the river she came across during her travels.

It was merely an extension of her caprice, picking up and raising that child.

"Heh, really, why does a child who hasn't even lived a hundred years have such a booming voice?"
