'I am sorry, Wyatt. Try to understand that the moment I use my ability, even if I don't escape, the Deviant Devil will turn its focus onto me from the celestial blood-rule slave. Then, my plans will not go according to my calculation. There is a lot at stake here. So, I cannot afford any variables,' The Dragon firmly rejected Wyatt's pleas to send him out of the celestial blood-rule slave's blood-rule domain influence stating that it would not let anything come between its pursuit of transcendence, even if it were Wyatt, his new home. Wyatt's presence was already a huge variable, it has been very tolerant.

Seeing that throwing a tantrum did not get him out of there, Wyatt dropped his head in dismay. Calling the dragon greedy, and blaming it for putting his life in danger for its greed, were all an act Wyatt displayed to get the dragon to feel guilty and send him away from this bloody battleground. It was a long shot but his strength and intelligence had been dwarfed by the three apex ruler-class beings' vast knowledge and prowess, so he had little choice but to resort to such means putting aside his pride. If the Dragon were to send him out of here then, he could escape and go into hiding assuming a new identity through myriad devil transformations such that the Dragon could never find him.

However, Wyatt was only met with disappointment when the Dragon did not budge, his plan did not work. He did manage to garner guilt from the Dragon but its pursuit of transcendence was too strong. He was already lucky that it did not kill him for trying to come between its path to transcendence. However, this left an aftertaste of mixed feelings for the Dragon in Wyatt's heart.

Wyatt had mixed feelings about this conclusion because he did not expect the Dragon to not kill him for coming in the way of his transcendence but also repeatedly console him while feeling guilty for putting his life in danger. Though it did not budge, it willingly took all the blame. The Dragon was very sincere toward the World Calamity Tree.

Most importantly when all of this was too sudden and not entirely the Dragon's fault. If Wyatt had left the filth covering the Dragon's body alone he could have found some other reason or a way to convince the dragon to leave him alone. Now he was stuck right at the heart of the battle between apex ruler-class beings. Wyatt was to be partially blamed for his current situation.

However, in the Dragon's eyes, Wyatt was his lucky charm. Wyatt's arrival not only gave him a new home and hope to extend his sleep cycle but also solved the hidden danger covering his body. Thanks to this, its wait spanning for millenniums finally came to an end.

If not for Wyatt discovering the filth covering its body in time, Dragon would not know the filth's existence even after its contamination had spread to its internals and throughout his body. Dragon did not know the consequences of such a thing happening but seeing how the filth was able to summon the Deviant Devil, if had contaminated its entire body it would have been able to teleport it to the Deviant Devil. That wasn't the worst part, since it had already spread throughout its body the Dragon could not escape it, even if it were to use its dream escape ability the filth covering its body would teleport it back to the deviant devil's side. So in the end it would have become the Deviant Devil's pet with filth as its leash.

However, by helping it remove the filth in a timely fashion, Wyatt had not only saved it from such a tragic fate but also acted as a catalyst for its trap, which it had set up a few millenniums ago and lying in wait since then, by bringing the Deviant Devil to him.

All in all, in the Elder Anesthesia Dragon's eyes Wyatt was his lucky star. Having lived for millenniums and wasted almost half of it trying to trap the Deviant Devil and the Celestial blood rule slave in deathmatch, it had come to know that sometimes no amount of talent, planning, or hard work can force things into motion unless it's time. Many know it as the fated time or lucky time and the Dragon believed Wyatt was his fated/lucky time.

It felt that with Wyatt by its side, its path to transcendence would be a lot smoother. All of these thoughts morphed Wyatt's position in the Dragon's heart and mind to a whole new level. Even if it hasn't been long since they have met. Was it the fate of a World Calamity Tree and Anesthesia Dragon or just a mere coincidence, regardless, everything seemed to fall in place for the Dragon with Wyatt by its side. The dragon couldn't care less about why when the fruits it had been waiting for millenniums were right in front of it and a few seconds from its reach.

If Wyatt knew how high the Elder Anesthesia Dragon held him in its heart and mind, he would not only be creeped out but worried for his future. As did not want to become some old dragon showpiece or worse, a trophy wife. Here he was thinking of how to escape the clutches of the dragon but with every passing second, the Dragon's obsession with Wyatt kept increasing. So much so that its priorities now were achieving transcendence, grooming Wyatt, and everything else.

Yes, taming Wyatt was only second to achieving transcendence in the Dragon's list of priorities. If Wyatt were to learn of this, then his mixed feelings for the Dragon because of its sincerity toward him or his World Calamity Tree self would vanish without any remnants. However, currently, the Elder Anesthesia Dragon's obsession with Wyatt was being overshadowed by its single-hearted pursuit of transcendence. So, Wyatt very little idea about the Dragon's plans for him.
