God Simulator: The Goddesses In The Simulation Are All Real

Although Linsley didn't know the origin of the monsters, he knew it wasn't the right time to investigate since he had no leads for now.

Linsley pondered, 'The best way to find out is to locate a long-lived monster who knows the origin of the monster race. Maybe monsters are natural products of this world, created by flux, or maybe they're the result of an extraterrestrial invader.'

Regardless of which it was, Linsley decided to head to the Dragon Continent first.

After all, the dragon race was undoubtedly the strongest among monster species and also the longest-lived. The only monsters that could compare were the phoenixes.

In terms of survival abilities, the phoenixes would certainly surpass the dragons. But when it came to raw combat power, the dragons could easily overpower them.

"From what I've heard, there are two Level 9.8 Overlords in the Dragon Continent. And there are enough Overlords there that no human Overlord, regardless of level, would dare step foot in it."

"The only exceptions would be those seeking resources, like hunting a dragon for the treasures in their bodies—their bones, scales, even their blood can boost a diviner's level when bathed in and absorbed for its flux."

"Even then, only nobles have a chance to acquire dragon blood, and only royals or families with an Overlord among them would have it. At least Lucy, Ted, and I didn't depend on those resources. We reached our levels purely through my self-created training method."

Although Linsley hadn't used dragon blood to enhance his level, he felt that if he could accumulate enough of it, he might be able to reach Level 9.9.

Or perhaps even the blood of a Level 9.8 Dragon Overlord wouldn't be sufficient. Maybe not even the entire dragon race's blood would be enough.

'I wonder... if I were to wipe out the entire monster race, craft an artifact to drain their blood from their corpses, and then create another to condense it into flux energy, maybe I could gather a resource powerful enough to elevate a Level 9.8 Overlord to Level 9.9.'

'But this would mean annihilating the entire monster race. Genocide isn't something I'd normally consider, but if it's for the sake of becoming strong enough to secure humanity's future, then I'd do it.'

He wasn't overly concerned; he'd never need to target humans, after all.

In the real world, slaughtering the entire monster race would be nearly impossible, but in the god simulation, he had fewer restraints. His resolve was strong, though his main concern remained the potential threat of the Outer God.

As long as he kept increasing his power, he'd improve his chances of defeating the Outer God when the time came.

With this goal in mind, Linsley used the Locator Compass 2.0 to track the Dragon Continent's Level 9.8 Overlord.

Soon enough, the compass needle pointed eastward from his current location.

Channeling his flux, Linsley rose into the sky, granting himself enhanced speed, flux wings to boost his flight, and an ability to bypass air resistance.

Then, Linsley shot off in the direction indicated by the compass, launching forward like a human ICBM.

…

After just a minute of flight, Linsley arrived over the vast lands of the Dragon Continent, which was nearly twice the size of the Gale Continent.

The Dragon Continent was a land of extremes, with terrain molded to suit each unique dragon species.

Towering volcanoes spewed molten lava across the land, their fiery glow illuminating the blackened sky above. This was the domain of the fire dragons, who thrived in the intense heat and filled the air with occasional firestorms that swept across their territory.

Farther north, the landscape turned harsh and frigid, dominated by snow-capped mountains and endless ice plains. Here lived the ice dragons, creatures of frost and glacial power, whose breaths could freeze entire lakes solid in an instant.

Massive, sparkling glaciers carved through the valleys, creating treacherous fields of ice and snow that only they could navigate with ease.

In the continent's thickly wooded forests, the forest dragons made their homes. These regions were dense with ancient, towering trees whose roots sprawled across the forest floor like the sinews of the land itself.

Forest dragons had scales of deep emerald, blending seamlessly with their surroundings as they moved through the foliage with silent, watchful grace.

Then there were the mountains—craggy and perilous peaks that stretched up to pierce the clouds.

Lightning dragons made their nests in these storm-ridden heights, where thunder constantly rolled and flashes of lightning split the darkened sky. Their scales crackled with electricity as they soared through the storms, channeling lightning like conduits of the sky itself. Continue your adventure at empire

Down along the coastlines, the sea dragons dwelled. Caves carved into seaside cliffs and caverns underwater marked their territory. These aquatic dragons swam through the ocean currents, their scales glistening like pearls, and they commanded the tides with ease.

As Linsley surveyed the Dragon Continent, he took note of each dragon territory, already planning how to best approach his mission of subduing the continent's Overlords. He knew the two Level 9.8 Dragon Overlords resided somewhere in these lands, each guarding their own domain.

The Locator Compass 2.0's needle pointed him directly east, guiding Linsley into the thunder-ridden mountains of the Lightning Dragon habitat.

The air crackled as he flew deeper into the heart of their territory, dense with thunderclouds and thick with the tang of ozone.

He spotted his target just ahead—a hulking dragon cloaked in vivid electric scales, each one humming with stored energy and arcing flashes of lightning. This was one of the two Level 9.8 Overlord dragons of the continent.

The Lightning Dragon raised its head, eyes narrowing with a mixture of disdain and curiosity as it felt the pressure of Linsley's flux, unmistakable and intentionally unmasked.

Rather than approaching quietly, Linsley had chosen to let his power announce his presence, knowing full well the pride of the dragons.

From the depths of the dark clouds, the dragon's voice rumbled like distant thunder. "A human? And bold enough to tread here without disguise," it sneered. "I can sense you are a Level 9.8 Overlord. But do you truly believe that puts you on my level?"
