When everything was done and ready, I decided to use my giant Thunder and Wind Dragon Armor, shaping it on its past forms by infusing energy and forcing the mutation that would only appear after eating various monsters with it.
Flash!
Suddenly, I became a twenty meters long metallic dragon, expanding my metallic back, my entire family coupled with the Fire Onis mounted it as they tightly grabbed of it. By using a small yet sturdy Magic Barrier, I covered them with it, shaping it to resemble a bubble.
With a powerful infusion of Magic and Life Energy, coupled with my Aura and the Skill [Illogical Propulsion Speed], we flew at incredible speeds, resembling a sparking thunder moving horizontally through the floor 105, reaching the stairs in twenty seconds, we went through them without any issues, any monster that dared to come against us was vaporized alive by the powerful Thunder Blasts sent through my expanded Aura Domain.
Five-Headed Wolves from before came in big groups of over twenty each, but they were all blasted into ashes with each of my Thunder Blasts, and the corpses that remained were swiftly absorbed by my Domain, making them disappear out of thin air.
Reaching floor 106, the scenery was similar to the previous floor, a massive forest filled with the Inferno Barks, the colossal trees that can only grow on incredibly heated areas and feed on lava and fire to grow and produce minerals inside of their bodies.
Manipulating my Aura and releasing strong Thunder Attribute combustion, we flew at max speed, resembling a rocket, no, we were going even faster. Any monster there were automatically killed by my Aura Thunder Blasts, and those who had immunity to thunder were devoured alive by my domain. A chaotic pressure started to emanate from my Soul as it feeds on other living beings, quickly I realized that my Thunder Blasts had turned dark and red, killing monsters even more efficiently.
Gigantic Turtles that slept below Lava Pools awoke; their shells were as gigantic as mountains. And there were over one hundred resting in the gigantic lava pools. A strange force was exuded from the dungeon as it enhanced the turtle's powers, forcing them to evolve, their massive and colossal bodies doubled in size, they gained two heads and long legs and tails, countless draconic horns grew in each of the monster's heads.
Opening their two jaws, the hundreds of turtles began to throw massive fireballs and lava balls without stopping. However, I only had to cover my armor with a thin layer of my Slime for it to become immune to Fire and Lava offensive attacks. My armor absorbed each attack and only became stronger.
By accumulating a massive amount of energy on my metallic dragon mouth, I opened it as I released a gigantic beam of pure energy, directing it to each turtle, they couldn't even resist such an attack even with their evolved shells, exploding into bloody pieces and then being devoured by my domain instantaneously. A sudden rain of colossal chunks of meat showered our backs, my family picked up various pieces as they snacked on them while enjoying the massacre I unfolded on the monsters.
More and more turtles were blasted into pieces with my beams, and as we moved, the stairs to the next floor appeared at my sight, the last turtles were killed and devoured by my domain as we rushed through the stairs towards floor 107.

Flash!
At floor 107, the dungeon noticed our fast phase and started to unfold all of its trap cards without stopping, out of nowhere, a flash of thunder appeared in the middle of floor 107 as a gigantic artifact materialized itself, instantly beginning to summon thousands of Five-Headed Wolves and the evolved Volcano Turtles. Even worse as the monsters were enhanced furthermore by the dungeon itself as if the god was giving its all on stopping us before it was too late.
"Awoooooooo!!!"
"Grooowwwwwlll!!!"
"Gyrrrrryyaaarrr!!!"
The gigantic kaiju moved towards us with ferocity and voracious appetites. Five-Headed wolves would evolve and obtain ten heads alongside massive, sturdy, and bulky bodies covered in draconic scales that could even destroy adamantine and other magical metals with ease. The Volcanic Turtles gained three heads, with long necks, eight gigantic and sturdy limbs, each was a behemoth to behold, a single turtle could easily destroy a kingdom by themselves while a pack of five Ten-Headed Wolves could do more or less the same.
By channeling the Magic and Auras of my wives and children on my back, my Aura expanded wildly chaotically and ferociously. Some of the monsters had evolved to the point of gaining high intelligence, cooperating to combine their Fire Auras, and counter my own Aura Domain.
Sadly, I already had Fire and Lava absorption, and this also included Auras on its menu! My Aura domain shaped itself into hundreds of thousands of dragon heads as they ripped and devoured the combined Aura of the monsters and then proceeded to eat alive the insolent monsters that opposed us.
The Wolves were incredibly strong, and even more by the thousands, but my Aura was being constantly fed with Magic and Aura by my family and with the ones it devoured. It quickly expanded itself as if it were a flood of dark and scarlet colored oceans, devouring everything. The turtles were still incredibly slow, easily succumbing to my powers.
However, my Aura was too slow, even to this point, leaving everything to it would take too long. Enough time for the dungeon to bring even more beast. Due to this, I boosted my physical and magical abilities with my boosting spells and skills and the with the use of shapeshifting, I expanded my gigantic dragon hands, each one grabbing a [Legendary Weapon], I released thousands of consecutive weapon techniques coupled with the [Combo] skills, creating devastating results. Colossal waves of energy collided with each other, vaporizing the behemoths in seconds, only massive trails of their blood and organs remained deeply engraved on the dungeon's floor.
Then, I manipulated my Aura into an intimidating dragon head, eating the big artifact summoned by the dungeon, a sudden burst of energy was inserted into my body, and I felt some of my cells being slowly destroyed. Knowing that what I was eating was Divine Energy of high quality in high quantities, I thought about throwing it off right away, however, the moment my cells were destroyed, new ones appeared simultaneously, it was as if my body was trying its best to devour this energy, even if it cost a lot of vitality.
By using my new Rank 4 Soul, my Magic and Life Energy, and all of the Energy that my Aura had gathered, I infused it all into my body, and by simultaneously using a myriad of regenerative and healing skills and spells, and with the support of my family at my back, I slowly ate the Divine Energy forcefully. Infusing a big quantity of it into m armor itself, the spirits inhabiting it happily helped me out, sharing the burden with me.
As this internal battle happened, I was already flying through floor 108 while blasting into pieces of other monsters. Titanic dinosaurs that resembled the famous giant lizard from Earth's movies appeared, however, these were purely red. By channeling the energy on the spikes of their backs, they threw massive rays of concentrated fire energy. My Aura swiftly responded to the pack of over one thousand giant fire lizards, receiving the blast and feeding on their energy, which in result helped me out on eating this Divine Energy, which was incredibly hard.
I knew that if I successfully assimilate it, I would gain new strength, so I kept it deep inside of my body, slowly being eaten while it destroyed my insides, which instantly regenerated again and again in an endless cycle. If it wasn't for my [Pain Nullification] I would have most likely fainted over the terrible pain that such a method could inflict.
As I flew through the air, the lizards were demolished into pieces one by one due to my beams, techniques, and Aura. Some were devoured alive; others were flattened into pancakes by my beams and others sliced into pieces by my techniques and combos.
Each corpse was devoured, increasing my energy and nourishing my undying body, that regenerated and destroyed itself over and over again. Since this morning that I've decided on breaking my limits, even if it took my entire sanity to do so… I'm going to eat this Divine Energy.
Flash! Flash!
As the thousands of giant fire lizards died down and wee devoured instantly by my domain, more artifacts appeared, summoning dinosaurs of all sizes, with countless heads. There were even Chimeras made out of dinosaurs, lizards, turtles and wolves, gigantic behemoths that towered over seventy meters tall. A massive army of titans approached me without any mercy, but I received them with my open six arms!
More monsters and artifacts meant more Divine Energy and more normal energy to maintain that Divine Energy and then assimilate it! It was as if this idiotic god couldn't even realize that what it was doing was just boosting my growth exponentially.
I summoned hundreds of Arms of Demise, Venomous Gemstone Hammers, and Lava Hammers, which were now named Arms of Destruction, Corroding Diamond Hammers, and Hellish Blaze Hammers. Massive arms made out of dark energy resembling horrible and grotesque monsters from the abyss appeared, while holding the purple and red hammers, they began pounding on the monsters without any mercy, pulverizing them into piles of minced meat, while my Aura devoured on the corpses.
After some seconds, I reached the giant artifacts and devoured them without a doubt, a sudden burst of more Divine Energy appeared inside of my body, trying to destroy me from the inside. But I knew that I was able to resist it if I put all of my intent, magic, and skills into it. Although slowly, the divine energy was being successfully assimilated by my flesh, soul, armor, and aura. The four things that made up my entire being right now were being constantly nourished and destroyed by this godly energy.
Feeling exasperation over this burst of almost endless energy, I flew through the entire room, devoured and destroyed any monsters on my way, and easily rushed towards floor 108. The dungeon furiously growled as it summoned more artifacts, more monsters, and more prey.
Massive bats with the head of a lion flew over the air, generating powerful storms of fire with each flap of their wings. However, they couldn't even reach me as they were demolished by my Arms of Destruction that held immense hammers, bestowing judgment over those who tried to take my life. There wasn't any end to the destruction, rivers of blood, meat and bones flew through the floor and were promptly eaten without leaving anything behind by my Aura Domain.
Closing over the endless stream of monsters, I ravaged them into pieces and then devoured them, one by one until I reached the Giant Spawn Artifacts, which my Aura didn't take any second to devour completely. A new burst of more Divine Energy, which has the appearance of a blinding white mist entered my body, coming together with the previous Divine Energy eaten and trying its hardest to kill me from my insides. However, there was no end to my self-regeneration. As I left behind trails of blood over the floors, I was already on floor 109.
Massive Fire and Lava Wyvern Overlord showed up through artifacts, hundreds of them came together and worked with each other, canalizing their magic into powerful streams of fire and lava, but they were nothing but snacks for me. Some realized my immunity to it, but promptly succumbed to my attacks and lost their entire bodies, eaten alive by the seconds.
My family was amazed by such spectacle while sharing their powers with me, I had another layer of help with them, and because of them were exceptionally strong, I was able to channel their powers into my attacks, blast of thunder, storms and wind flew through the floors, golden winds sliced the wyverns into pieces, while thousands of snakes made out of magic eat the corpses or exploded simultaneously, killing even more prey.
Reaching the artifacts, I quickly ate them as more Divine Energy entered my body, in a burst of thunder, every remaining and weakened wyvern died and was devoured instantly, as I flew to floor 110, the last challenge before the final boss awaited me, thousands of Lesser Fire Dragons appeared, evolved forms of High Fire Wyverns, their bodies were over seventy meters each, twelve eyes covered their heads and hundreds of horns decorated their skulls as if they were crowns.
"Grooooooowwlll!!!"
"Graaaaaaaaaawwwrr!!!"
Rushing towards my position, they valiantly fought against me with their immense strength, but my powers quickly gathered and were released, thousands of techniques, magic spells, and skills sliced, burned, and roasted every lesser dragon into pulps of flesh and bones. Each one was being happily devoured as more appeared to take their place, however as I reached the last artifacts, I ate them and felt a new stream of Divine Energy.
The Lesser Dragons were then pulverized, vaporized, or sliced into pieces. Their amazing flesh nourished my body as my family took over various of them and happily ate them as snacks. After five minutes, the entire floor was completely cleaned as the dungeon yelled in rage and slowly calmed itself…
Reaching floor 110, a colossal red door, decorated with intricate patterns and geoglyphic paintings showed up in front of my sight, a strong, deadly presence emanated from it…
