A Young World Maybe…?
After half a day of cosmic travel, Rudolf finally arrived just outside the blue planet.
As soon as he drew near, the planet's gravity began pulling him and his two subordinates down toward the surface.
Not wanting to alert the natives, they masked their auras and descended slowly, using their mana to cushion their fall.
They could have flown, of course, but that would be too conspicuous. So, They opted for a stealthy descent instead.
After landing on solid ground, Rudolf cautiously spread his mana sense across the terrain and quickly detected the presence of humans.
But something was amiss.
The denizens of this world were way too weak, and the mana concentration seemed far too low for a planet containing intelligent life.
Emboldened by his initial findings, he fully unleashed his mana sense until it blanketed the entire globe.
His second scan only confirmed the first.
Usually, even the weakest planets in his home Galaxy had at least a single Demigod to oversee them.
But every living being on this planet was an unranked weakling.
There wasn't a single ranked entity, let alone a Demigod with power rivaling his own.
' Maybe it's a young world that is still evolving.' he thought.
If so, he had just hit the jackpot.
Using his transcendent powers as a Demigod, he could instill fear and awe into everyone here, eventually rising to become the absolute ruler of this world.
And if he could force the world’s will to submit to him, he could even become its owner.
He had always dreamed of owning a world and becoming a World-Master.
Thinking about the possibilities of obtaining such an exalted position, Rudolf almost let out a howl of joy, but he stopped himself at the last moment.
If he did that here, all these ants might drop dead on the spot, unable to bear the shockwaves produced by his voice.
One of his subordinates, a fox demi-human, arrived at the exact same conclusion.
A torrent of flattery flowed from his mouth a second later.
"Boss, it seems fortune is on our side." the subordinate purred.
"First we escaped certain death by some miracle. And now, you are even going to become a World-Master."
"This humble one offers his heartfelt congratulations."
"Hahaha.."
Hearing that, Rudolf laughed boisterously and slapped the fox heavily on the back.
"You are right, foxy!"
(Foxy wasn't actually his name. It was just a nickname given by his boss.)
Spreading his arms wide, Rudolf declared in a jovial tone,
"I will become the master of this world make it my personal backyard, while all its people are going serve me as my personal slaves!"
"HAHAHA......"
Another laugh—this one entirely deranged—escaped his canine mouth, while pulling his lips back into a wide, earsplitting grin.
