Rimuru immediately felt a little sympathetic towards Milim’s past.

"From today on, I'll be staying here! Please take care of me!"

But Milim's next words made Rimuru's face change drastically.

I originally thought it was just a courtesy, but I didn't expect Milim to really settle here permanently!

Shen Yuan held Rimuru's shoulders and said, "Don't be nervous, relax. You can't beat her, and if she wants to stay here, there's nothing you can do. You can only go along with her wishes."

With the pink demon at the center, the two little beautiful girls, one on the left and one on the right, clung tightly together.

People who don’t know them would think that the three of them are siblings.

"We are closer than just friends."

All the monsters born here are more or less related.

What Shen Yuan said was not wrong.

His purpose in saying this was to make it clear to the monsters that Milim was not an enemy, but an ally, a close friend of the Demon King.

It is also a reminder to other demon kings.

"Close friend!!" Milim, a girl who had no friends or relatives and grew up in loneliness, was shocked by Shen Yuan's declaration.

But he soon became excited, "Yes, yes! We are close friends!"

At this point, Milim’s pretty, blushing face was filled with an excited smile, as if a stray dragon had found its kin.

Milim settled down in Jura Tempest.

Shen Yuan lived up to everyone's expectations and held a banquet for her. The banquet was so grand that even Rimuru was jealous. It felt like attending a wedding.

But as soon as this news spread, the demon kings began to discuss it.

Wasn't it agreed that Milim would test the new Demon King of Jura Forest?

How come he suddenly settled down here?

Some say that Milim fell in love with the Demon King and married him.

Some people say that Milim was kidnapped, but how could the tyrant demon king be kidnapped?

In desperation, the demon kings could only wait patiently for further developments.

......

"Okay, let's get down to business."

After an unknown amount of time, after coaxing Milim away, Shen Yuan, Rimuru, the big demons, the dwarves and others came to the secret underground meeting room.

“Is this about Milim?”

"No, it's not Milim's problem." Shen Yuan came to the chief seat in the underground conference room, sat next to Rimuru, and crossed his arms.

"It's the other Demon Lords." Shion took over Shen Yuan's words, "Right now, what we should be most concerned about is the movements of the other Demon Lords. Milim has been fooled by Buu-sama and can't find her home. As long as she is happy and doesn't want to leave, she won't pose a threat."

“Other... Demon Kings?” Rimuru was a little confused.

"Well, according to what I got from Milim, there are currently ten Demon Kings." Shen Yuan took out a huge world map scroll and spread it flat on the table, instantly unfolding the current world pattern.

"Puppet Master Clayman, Lion King Carrion, Sky Queen Frey, Labyrinth Fairy Ramiris, Dark Emperor Ichi, Wrath of the Earth Dagurulu, Night Demon Queen Luminas Valentine, Sleeping Ruler Dino, Platinum Sword King Leon Cromwell, and Tyrant of Destruction Milim."

"Platinum Sword King 0.3 Leon!" Rimuru's face looked a little solemn.

"Among them, Ichi, Ramiris, and Milim are the three oldest demon lords."

"Ramillis, she used to be my boss."

The dryad Torene explained, "It happened a long time ago. She was supposed to be the Lord of the Holy Spirit, but after being bathed in the evil demonic power (Guy) and the powerful dragon spirit (Milim), she transformed into a demon king."

At this point, Torene looked at the others and said hesitantly, "But I can assure you that Fairy Queen Ramiris-sama is not an evil villain. For centuries, she has been regarded by the other demon kings as a 'hikikomori without a job.' She is currently unemployed... and has not yet caused any major impact or damage to the outside world, so she is not our enemy."

"What about the other ancient demon king, Guy?"

"The Dark Emperor, the Primordial Red, Guy Kulimthorne. Thousands of years ago, a demon summoned by one nation to destroy another. He subsequently destroyed both his target and the nation that summoned him, and evolved into the Demon King."

"He was both an enemy and a friend of the original hero, Rudra. He once battled the furious Milim for seven days and seven nights, only to be brought to an end by the mediation of Ramiris, who had fallen into the Demon King position. The three of them were the original Demon Kings, but Guy was a man who sought the limits of power."

At this point, Toreni said uncertainly, "Lord Buu, although Guy has always been a bystander in major battles throughout history, if a particularly powerful opponent appeared, Guy would definitely be curious and go investigate."

"Yeah, I'll keep an eye on him."

Shen Yuan smiled without saying anything, and continued to listen to their discussion.

Chapter 391: Guarding the house is an act of the weak, I decided to take the initiative!

"The demon kings restrained each other and formed a tacit understanding with each other."

The dwarf Kaijin supplemented Torene's words, saying, "But Buu-sama and Rimuru-sama are claiming that Milim-sama is our friend, which means that this town has the protection of Demon Lord Milim."

“Originally, this should have been a blessing…”

Sword Demon Bai Lao took a deep breath and said, "But the Storm Dragon Master Veldora was unsealed by the two masters and is currently recovering his strength. However, this process is seen by outsiders as the death of Master Veldora, and the two masters are the Demon King and Commander of the Jura Great Forest..."

“In other words, in the eyes of the other Demon Lords, the Jura Great Forest and Demon Lord Milim have formed an alliance.”

The dwarf Kaijin's expression grew serious. "This means that Demon Lord Milim's power has suddenly increased dramatically, and the balance between the demon lords has been disrupted."

“I see…” Rimuru fell into deep thought.

"That's not all." Torene dropped a key piece of information. "In that crow-masked demon's crystal ball, I saw the figure of another demon king. A demon king-level enemy—the puppeteer Clayman—is the culprit behind the chaos that has plunged the Jura Forest into."

"Perhaps, before Lord Storm Dragon disappeared, this forest was already coveted by those demon kings, and our every move is definitely being observed by those demon kings now."

"Even so, we can't stop these demon lords, right?" Rimuru expressed everyone's thoughts.

“Let’s not talk about the other Demon Lords for now. Demon Lord Milim… her power is simply not on the same level as ours…”

Hong Wan and the others said unwillingly. After learning that Milim's existence value was as high as 8000 million, they all despaired.

"Fighting against other demon kings will be easier than being an enemy of Lady Milim." Bai Lao, who had been silent until now, expressed his opinion again.

"Is there a big gap in strength between the Demon Kings?" Rimuru asked curiously.

Bai Lao glanced at Lord Buu (Shen Yuan) and said, "You can tell from how Lord Buu treats his enemies. A Demon King who wasn't to be feared wouldn't survive the first round, but the fact that Milim-sama could fight Lord Buu for hundreds of rounds clearly shows the severity of the situation."

"Secondly, no matter how great the difference in power between them, they're still Demon Lords after all... We only have one Demon Lord Buu in our city. Even if Milim-sama won't turn against us, she's unlikely to turn against the other Demon Lords either. So, there are many enemies, and we only have one, Demon Lord Buu, to stand up to them. 1 vs. 9, the risk is too great!"

“Demon King…?” Rimuru’s eyes were obscured by his silver-blue hair, making it impossible to discern his emotions.

The power of Storm Dragon Veldora has now recovered to an existence value of 4600 million.

But even with it included, there are only two demon king-level or above combat forces.

Even if it can be one-to-many.

However, the levels of other demon kings vary, and it is inevitable that there will be powerful beings like Milim.

"At the moment, Buu-sama needs to take care of Milim-sama's problem. Milim-sama possesses extremely powerful strength, and only Buu-sama can restrain her. Therefore, Lord Buu's mission is to keep an eye on Milim-sama, so she can't escape easily..."

"Wait, did you forget something important?"

Torene, who had been silent until then, suddenly spoke. She looked at everyone and said seriously, "There are actually three demon kings in our village."

"Three? Who's the other one?"

"Demon Zack!"

"Huh?" The people, awakened by Toreni's words, looked dazed as they recalled the village's 'brilliant master'. "That's true. Lord Zach may not be very smart and often splits up everywhere, but after being united, he's one of the strongest fighters in our village. He's completely surpassed the level of an awakened demon lord."

"But besides Lord Buu, Zack-sama only obeys his orders. It seems that the only one who obeys him is you, Lord Toreni, his mother."

"Don't, don't talk nonsense! I'm unmarried!"

Toreni quickly explained with a blushing face.

"Anyway, Brother Buu, what do you think about this matter?" Rimuru poked Shen Yuan who was sitting next to him, "Also, please give us some comments!"

"What?" Shen Yuan, who was awakened by Rimuru's poke, looked up at everyone with a confused look on his face. "Are you talking about the other demon kings? My advice is no advice. They can think whatever they want. Anyway, I am invincible, so you can do whatever you want."

"Ah this..."

Rimuru was shocked and looked helpless. That was indeed the case. With an existence value of 1.25 million, apart from anything else, at least that group of demon kings would definitely not be able to kill Demon King Buu.

But these ordinary monsters are different.

"Lord Buu, you are the Demon King of the Jura Forest! Speak responsibly! You can easily shake the morale of the army!"

The others sighed.

"Then fight."

"what?"

"I say, take the initiative to kill a few demon kings and let the other demon kings realize that we are not to be trifled with. That way they will recognize our status."

"This is... an unexpected path!"

"So who is the target?"

"Sky King Frey, Lion King Karion, and our avowed enemy, Demon King Clayman, are supposed to be having a Demon King Banquet in a few days. Look, now that I'm a Demon King, shouldn't they welcome me with a banquet or something? Then I'll launch a sudden attack and take down all three Demon Kings in a flash, giving them a warning. How about that?"

Shen Yuan used the simplest words to say the most terrifying words.

"Killing three demon kings in an instant..."

Everyone else had a stunned look on their faces, so forget about the joke.

"Lord Buu, this joke is not funny at all. It's okay to fool your subordinates, but please don't fool yourself."

"How dare you doubt your king like that!"

Shen Yuan looked at them with dissatisfaction, then said seriously, "You don't think all Demon Kings are as powerful as Milim, do you? Demon King is a general term for Demon King species. Those who have achieved Demon King species have a minimum existence value of 20. The Pig Head Emperor started at this level. Strictly speaking, reaching the minimum threshold of Demon King species doesn't mean they are Demon King species. It only means that they have a magic energy amount or existence value close to that of Demon King species."

At this point, Shen Yuan continued, "Demon King Frey, Clayman, Karion, and the others have only reached the Demon King level, but are still far from the million-level awakened Demon King. Above the awakened Demon King, there is also the Calamity-level numerical dividing line of tens of millions. Unless they are Calamity-level monsters, how can a mere Demon King possibly be a match for me, Demon King Buu!"

"Uh, what Buu-sama said is true!"

Rimuru then stepped forward to testify, "Your Demon King, my Big Brother Buu, is even stronger than Big Brother Veldora, the Storm Dragon. When he's at full strength, he's about the same level as 1.5 Milims."

"How can it be!"

“Rimuru-sama, are you serious?!”

The other monsters were all shocked. They thought that their Demon King Buu was just a being in the sealed cave who had a good relationship with the Storm Dragon Veldora, but they didn't expect that he had such a powerful background.

"it is true."

Shen Yuan admitted, but quickly changed his tone: "But what's the use? You're too weak. If we really go to war with the Demon King, I'm sure you'll be wiped out in one go before we even start. So, this is no different from me fighting alone."

"I'm sorry, I'm the one who held you back..."

"No, this isn't your fault. What you need to think about next is how to quickly improve the overall combat power of the Jura Forest Demon Federation. But since you want to see my thoughts, I'll just tell you straight away."

Shen Yuan had read the script, so he knew what to do next.

Next, one of the three beast warriors under Demon Lord Carrion will come to this town and win over the ones who defeated the pig-headed tribe.

Next, the seal of the calamity-level monster Storm Great Whirlpool, the son of Storm Dragon (born from the magic of Storm Dragon), was lifted, and he led the giant air-swimming sharks towards the city.

If Shen Yuan was not there, this would be a crusade that we would have to fight with all our might.

At the same time, Rimuru will also unlock a new skill, Glutton, in this battle.

The above is the plot of the original work, but if you take the initiative, it will be completely different.

"First, Benimaru, Shirao, and Shion, acting as the Four Heavenly Kings under Lord Buu, lead 'One Quarter Zack' to the Lion King's territory, the Beast Kingdom of Urasania. Your mission is to demand the Beast Kingdom's submission, or else destroy it. But before that, you will pass through the territory of the [Catastrophe-Class Monster, Stormy Great Whirlpool]. You will unseal it and allow 'One Quarter Zack' to absorb and fuse with the Stormy Great Whirlpool. Do not underestimate Zack's power. Once they fuse and evolve into 'Storm Demon Man,' you will have the added power of an Awakened Demon Lord, more than enough to easily conquer the Beast Kingdom."

When they heard this, Rimuru and the others were shocked.

Rimuru was about to retort, but stopped immediately.

Brother Buu is a veteran demon king from another world, so let's hear his plan first...

"But, wouldn't this be like actively attacking other demon kings?"

“Don’t worry. The relationship is more complicated than you think. But it’s also simpler. While Benimaru and the others are going to take over the Beast Kingdom, Rimuru, I need you to leave the peaceful Jura Tempest Federation.”

When Rimuru said this, his heart skipped a beat, and he thought he was going to be driven away.

But he soon reacted.

"Then where should I go?"

"Go to the capital of the Kingdom of Ingracia and fulfill Miss Jing's last wish." Shen Yuan said with a smile, but then changed his tone: "But that's not the whole purpose. To be more precise, I want you to investigate the whereabouts of [Maze Fairy, Demon Lord Ramiris]. Your goal is not to defeat her or subdue her, but to confirm Ramiris's condition and ensure that she will not become our enemy. Complete this task, Rimuru, and it will be a great achievement for you."
