I have a hero simulator

The specific number of souls required depends on the situation. Some monsters only need 10,000 souls, while others need hundreds of thousands.

Moreover, the true demon king has the power to kill ordinary demon kings in seconds.

"Just a sacrifice? That's a piece of cake."

Rimuru, who had been kind to humans until recently, suddenly blurted out, "Awakening the Demon King? It's easier than you think. I heard there were exactly 20,000 humans who attacked the Jura Demon Kingdom... No, it's no big deal. If there aren't enough, we can just kill more. It was their country that started it anyway."

If doing this could revive everyone, then there would be no need to hesitate.

Rimuru lowered his head, no longer hesitant, but full of determination.

He has already grasped the movements of those humans, and the next step is to take action.

......

at the same time.

The hidden secret place of the Jura Demon Kingdom, where the tree fairy manager lives.

The monsters that had originally "died", such as Shunai, the black guards, Rigurdo, etc., all gathered here, looking at the scene presented in the crystal ball with a little nervousness.

"Isn't this a bit too cruel?"

"You mean, pretend to be killed?"

"Wow, Rimuru-sama is so pitiful... It's all because of Lord Buu's evil nature. He made us pretend to be wiped out as a group to show Rimuru-sama, and let the remaining 'quarter Buu' act as the corpse to unleash Rimuru-sama's hidden power."

“There’s nothing we can do! The purpose of doing this is to make Rimuru-sama become the ‘Awakened Demon Lord’!”

Yes, that's the truth of the matter.

Making Rimuru an awakened Demon King is not as simple as giving him a lot of power. What is really needed is a change in mentality.

Anyway, for Shen Yuan, taking advantage of the fact that Shen Yuan was away attending the Demon King's Banquet and letting his men perform such a drama was killing two birds with one stone.

And those monsters that were "killed" were actually all pretended by the remaining 'quarter Buu'. They looked so lifelike that it didn't seem like an act at all. Rimuru had just returned and was shocked by this scene, so he couldn't be rational enough to observe it carefully.

When the time is right, let someone tell Rimuru that he can revive all of this by becoming the "Awakened Demon Lord".

Therefore, Rimuru will definitely go back and take action against those humans.

In this process, the monsters hiding in the Toreni Sanctuary can be resurrected on the spot by secretly exchanging positions with the 'Buu' pretending to be corpses.

However, what is a bit immoral is that almost everyone knows about this plan, except Rimuru.

Of course, except for the human army, they really thought they killed the monster.

Little did they know that they were just Lord Buu's toys.

Only in this way can Rimuru obtain a ticket to the upcoming [Demon War].

Chapter 399: Raphael, the King of Wisdom! Evolve into a Divine Core!

but.

It seems that Rimuru is not the only one who is kept in the dark.

There were also Benimaru, Shion, Haku and the others, the demons who were sent to the "Beast Kingdom" to carry out missions. After the Demon Lord Milim took over, they quickly returned to the Jura Forest.

Because Rimuru had cast summoning magic, Benimaru and the others rushed over.

“Rimuru-sama, what are you doing…!”

"Benimaru, gather everyone! Anyway, we'll talk about the situation later. Now, follow me to fight! No, kill!"

“——! As you command!”

After confirming the situation, Hong Wan and the others immediately took action.

They all remained silent, emitting an extreme murderous intent and a strong desire for revenge. This emotion made their power extremely powerful and invincible.

"I'm sorry for worrying you, but everything is fine now."

"Rimuru-sama..."

Rimuru looked at the other surviving monster children, his face full of guilt, but his eyes were full of determination.

He now finally understood the stunned expression on Lord Buu's face when he heard that he planned to coexist peacefully with humans. Rimuru still couldn't forget what Lord Buu's eyes meant when they seemed to mock him for being "too young".

Now he understood that only those who have been hurt know that peace cannot be achieved by words.

If you don't let other countries see your strength, no one will recognize you.

Besides, I am a monster now, so I have to think from the perspective of a monster.

"Don't overthink it. Lord Rimuru, we have decided to follow you and Lord Buu. The only option left is to trust you."

"If Lord Rimuru becomes the Demon King, Demon King Buu will probably be very happy too!"

Benimaru said with a smile.

"I am Rimuru-sama's loyal shadow. No confirmation is needed. I will follow your orders."

Souei also interjected.

All the survivors followed suit and expressed their solidarity with Rimuru.

"If Demon King Buu hasn't returned yet, tell him that we're off to fight humans. If he's already returned, I'm going to give him a good beating and bring the Demon Kingdom down here. As a Demon King, his crimes are unforgivable!"

Shion said with glaring eyes.

"Thank you. I, too, wanted to ask how Buu-sama governs the Demon Kingdom!"

Rimuru, who had silver-blue hair and a loli-like figure, clenched his fists and spoke.

Anyway, after regaining their spirits, they began their battle plan and attacked in the direction of humanity.

The invaders this time were the coalition forces of the Kingdom of Farmus and the Western Holy Church.

Although it was a coalition force, the Western Holy Church sent out its second-line forces, 3,000 Knights of the Temple. The main force was 10,000 Knights of the Farmus Kingdom, 6,000 mercenaries, and a thousand magicians.

The total number is as high as 20,000, and the military force is huge.

There are less than a hundred monsters on our side in total.

The two sides have a huge disparity in combat power, and victory can only be achieved by quality...

But the problem is that the enemy team has several "reincarnated from another world" members, who seem to have been summoned from other worlds and must have been given powerful skills.

......

While Rimuru was waging a war of revenge and annihilation against humanity.

A strange, demonic portal suddenly appeared in the forest manager's territory.

"Lord Buu!"

The pink demon who had obtained the "Ice God King (Cthulhu)" had just returned from the Ice Continent and appeared directly in front of Toreni, Shuna, the new pig-headed emperor Gad and others, and came to this secret basement.

"You're finally back! Everything went smoothly. Lord Rimuru did what you said and attacked the humans."

After confirming that the person was correct, Shen Yuan also sat on the Devil's chair beside him.

A group of people stood in front of him, all gathered around a huge crystal ball. The crystal ball showed the actions of Rimuru and others, as if they were all watching Rimuru's live performance.

"Hasn't that guy become the Awakened Demon Lord yet?"

Shen Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he supported his chin and thought for a moment, then raised his hand to signal others to be quiet.

In the crystal ball at this moment, Rimuru, Benimaru, Shion and others had divided their forces into three groups to encircle the human garrison who were chatting and laughing in the camp.

Rimuru grew magical wings like a devil.

She appeared in front of the enemy's headquarters, the king and the elite of the army in the guise of a pretty girl.

"Everyone, hold on! Protect His Majesty the King!"

A shout came from the crystal ball.

But Rimuru, who had grown wings, raised one hand, and in an instant countless lasers fell from the sky. In the blink of an eye, the knights fell to the ground one after another.

There was no chance for treatment, they were all hit in the vital parts and died painlessly on the spot.

“You’re still too merciful, Rimuru.”

Shen Yuan watched Rimuru's clean and efficient killing method. The soldiers who stepped into the range of the ray cried and screamed in fear. Looking at their killed companions, there was wailing everywhere.

The battlefield instantly turned into hell.

The fighting spirit was high just a moment ago, but it fell apart the next moment.

shhhhh--

When the seventh wave of chaotic light ended, half of the people were dead.

Amidst the chaos, the king and the others looked up at Rimuru in the sky in horror.

It fell from the sky, with black wings that looked like a bat.

She is petite and wears a cracked mask.

Those cracks are like tears...

He was dressed in solemn and gorgeous black clothes, and his only weapon was a straight knife at his waist.

However, the demonic aura emanating from the opponent overwhelmingly covered the entire venue.

Is that a demon?

No, it’s the Demon King!

Intuition told the king and the knights that they had made a big mistake. They shouldn't have taken action and shouldn't have offended this country with a demon king.

"Lord Buu, there might be a misunderstanding between us!"

"Buu?"

The petite masked figure with jet-black wings tilted its head, and then a cold voice came: "No, I am Rimuru! Demon Lord Rimuru!"

From now on, Rimuru finally showed some of the demeanor of the leader of the Demon Kingdom.

If Shen Yuan were to personally deal with a human knight group of this level, he would feel that he had lost his reputation. It would be too embarrassing for a being with a combat power of over 100 million to fight against a group of weaklings.

The king was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

But, think about it.

This person exudes the aura of a demon king, but if it is Demon King Buu, the monster that killed the Pig Head Emperor in seconds according to the intelligence must be more terrifying.

In other words, they still have a chance!

However, the king did not understand the situation and thought there was still room for resistance.

Rimuru's decision to not let them feel pain or fear was already a sign of mercy.

——At this moment, the "Voice of the World" sounded.

《Announcement. Confirmation that the number of human souls has reached the evolutionary standard. Confirmation completed. The specified conditions have been met. The host will then evolve into the 『Awakened Demon Lord』.》

The voice entered Rimuru's mind, and his breath instantly felt weak.

After that, the whole person is no longer under the control of the will, the body mutates and begins to rebuild.

This is not just a verbal statement, Rimuru is about to become one of the "True Demon Kings" in this world, one of the seven-star... no, "eight-star Demon Kings"!

At the same time, Shen Yuan, who saw this scene through the crystal ball, slowly stood up.

"It's almost time."

Shen Yuan raised his hand, twirled his Demon King Ring, and initiated a trans-dimensional communication: "Everyone, we will have a new member."

He finished his words and ignored the responses from Guy, Milim, Dino, and the other Demon Lords.

"I'll go get Rimuru. You go clear the town and prepare for 'resurrection'. This tragic drama ends here. Get ready to welcome the new Demon King."

"As you command, Master Buu!"

The demons were instantly ecstatic. After holding back for so long, they could finally move freely.

The next moment, Shen Yuan turned around and struck the void with a seemingly ordinary punch. In an instant, the space shattered like a spider web. The turbulent flow of the void wrapped around him, and then he flashed directly into the picture of the crystal ball. After a few seconds, the space crack at the original place healed and disappeared.

——Awaken the Demon Lord's skill "Void Flash".

......

"Oops! I really want to sleep."
