Right now, I need you to do something for me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay okay, let’s get the important stuff done first, then you’ll play with me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fairy dragon nodded eagerly, then tilted her head and asked, “What’s the important stuff?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garos grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come on, use your illusion on me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a strange request—what a peculiar dragon, its interests were unpredictable and somewhat dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Illusions carry mental damage. If you’re hit too many times, it harms the brain and turns you into an idiot. Aren’t you afraid?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fairy dragon asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I want the mental damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t ask so many questions. Start.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garos took a deep breath, focused his mind, and prepared for the fairy dragon’s illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright alright, you asked for this—don’t get mad if you get hurt,” the fairy dragon added uneasily, then cast her signature Illusion Sound Art on Garos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of a clear spring flowing reached Garos’s ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene before him began to spin, twist, and warp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, the bears’ fur vanished, their bodies shrank, turning into dolls chasing and wrestling; rocks and trees sprouted limbs and mouths, dancing and singing; the entire world’s colors grew vivid, like a painting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Garos did not try to break the illusion with physical force—he let himself sink into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked down at himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garos was stunned to find his dragon scales had turned into flowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bees and butterflies swarmed around him, buzzing their wings, singing a faint, indistinct melody that made his head spin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garos sat on the ground, as steady as a rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let the song continue, allowed the visions to grow stranger, using them to train and adapt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not long after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sounds and illusions abruptly ceased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surreal, painting-like world vanished; the hallucinations disappeared; the world before him returned to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The experience felt like wandering into some fantastical, eerie realm. Garos felt a lingering desire, his gaze falling on the fairy dragon’s butterfly-like wings, and said, “I heard fairy dragon scales produce dust that enhances mental strength.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fairy dragon nodded. “Yes, that’s right.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me try some.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garos said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scale dust was a renewable resource for the fairy dragon—not rare to her. Without hesitation, she flew above Garos’s head and shook her butterfly wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silver-gray dust drifted down softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garos opened his mouth and swallowed it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind became hyper-sensitive; his excitement and focus surged; the world’s colors brightened, shifting into warm tones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tiny spider weaving its web in rock crevices, the insects crawling on treetops, the dust motes in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rustle of wind through leaves, the faint scrape of his own scales, the crisp plop of dewdrops hitting stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Details he normally ignored now stood out in sharp clarity before Garos’s senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This feeling… is wonderful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garos thought, his eyes gleaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was different from the effect of black oil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black oil excited his body; this excited his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond perception, Garos felt his thinking speed had increased—he felt smarter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began reconsidering: should he shift focus toward enhancing his mind and spirit, or begin formal spell training?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several seconds of deep thought, he reached a negative conclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wisdom told him—physical strength, raw power, mattered more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spirit, mind, magic—Red Iron Dragon hybrids had no exceptional talent in these areas; improvement was difficult, couldn’t yield combat readiness quickly, and couldn’t serve as his survival foundation in the wild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Better to wait until he was stronger—then the gains would be greater with less effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Weila, use your illusion on me again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to the fairy dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garos had no intention of focusing heavily on mental enhancement, but he wouldn’t ignore it entirely—some training was necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling mentally drained, the fairy dragon rubbed her head, then cast Illusion Sound Art once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of the scale dust, his mental sensitivity had improved, amplifying the illusion’s effect on Garos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene before his eyes became bizarre, indescribable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shadows of rocks stretched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twisting into monstrous shapes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A giant tree hung upside down, its roots embedded in the sky; its trunk and sprawling branches were made entirely of flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The melody in his ears became a muffled whisper, like the hissing murmur of some creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garos once again sank into the strange realm of illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He faintly saw claw-like branches descending from the surreal world, reaching toward him—but as if separated by a barrier between illusion and reality, they could not touch him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is it because the scale dust heightened my mental sensitivity?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This illusion’s power… isn’t something a fairy dragon could produce on her own.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garos thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, Garos’s eyes gleamed as he looked at the fairy dragon and said, “Weila, go play. That’s enough mental training for today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fairy dragon drooped her wings, slumped on a treetop, and lifted her eyelids weakly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No no more playing. Weila needs to rest. So tired.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fairy dragon was superb at illusions, but her spirit wasn't limitless; she was utterly exhausted from Garos’s demands, mentally drained, and just wanted to sleep and rest, even losing interest in playing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garos was still full of energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effect of the scale dust had faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world before his eyes was no longer vivid, his senses weaker than before—but still slightly improved from his original state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Truly a valuable thing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Regular use of fairy dragon scale dust can greatly enhance my mental strength and perception without needing specialized training.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garos glanced at the fairy dragon, fast asleep on the treetop, and felt he’d struck gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no way to obtain black oil now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What would it feel like if I consumed both black oil and scale dust—body and mind simultaneously excited and active?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garos couldn’t help but wonder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I had access, I could buy black oil from caravans.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I can’t show myself—I’d attract trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pacing and thinking for a moment, he spread his wings and soared into the sky, preparing to thoroughly scout the other territories surrounding the Needleleaf Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When choosing this territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garos knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around the Needleleaf Valley, several intelligent tribes dwelled at moderate distances, and there was also a branch road of the Thousand Serpent Scar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were all security risks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Danger was everywhere in the wild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to other places, the Needleleaf Valley offered richer resources, and these risks were relatively minor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, if handled well, they could be turned to his advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why, after careful comparison, Garos chose this place as his territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1176,"2026-06-19T14:21:50.702Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ecbc0fa02b9941c74d3ebd7652d54911bd32c9fdcb138b1b41fff3b5f2657aff","toppling-the-entire-world-with-the-power-of-one--chapter-59","toppling-the-entire-world-with-the-power-of-one--chapter-57",101,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftoppling-the-entire-world-with-the-power-of-one--cover.jpg"]
