"I refuse. Besides, the most I can do is teach you skills. Do you want to waste their attributes?"
"..."
Just when Rimuru wanted to say something, the great sage who evolved in his body - the King of Wisdom, had already controlled his body to split and entangle the corpses of those traversers, and then used his skills to eat them.
"This is Xiao Si's good intention, so let's accept it humbly." The King of Wisdom, whose emotional system seemed to have evolved, said this, leaving Rimuru speechless.
He couldn't say he didn't want to eat people.
But it would be too hypocritical to say this now. After all, in the parallel world, he buried the enemy's army with his own hands and harvested 30,000 souls. He couldn't say it now if he still wanted to say that he was innocent.
Even though it might just be an illusion.
"Forget it. Let's not talk about this. Xiao Si, how do you plan to deal with the Kingdom of Farmus next? We haven't created a hero here, and it's too late to start now." Rimuru felt a headache. In that parallel world, they would deal with the kingdom by making a hero the new king of the kingdom, and that hero was actually created by them.
Because he didn't have Xiao Si as a reliable backer in that world, when he knew that the news of his annihilation of the Pig-Head Emperor would arouse humans' vigilance, he used a kind-hearted mercenary and trained him to be a hero. Then he gave the credit of annihilating the Pig-Head Emperor to the hero, and announced to the outside world that the hero had obtained help from their monster kingdom to eliminate the crisis in the forest. This has several advantages. One is that it will not arouse humans' vigilance, and the other is that he will gain a hero as an ally, and this ally will also help them with publicity.
But in the real world, he did not encounter that mercenary group, and because he had two big backers, Xiao Si and Xiao Bai, he had never considered such a thing at all. So if something goes wrong, it will turn into a war between monsters and humans. By then, the surrounding countries will not sit idly by and watch the Farmus Kingdom be destroyed by them, and things will suddenly become troublesome.
"Don't worry. The Kingdom of Farmus has sincerely repented and surrendered to our Lord. Next, they will elect a new king and apologize to the Monster Federation. As for the war you are worried about, do you think humans will take the risk of attacking a country with several demon kings? You know, the original ten demon kings are enough to give them a headache. But if they don't know how to live or die and start a war with us, I don't mind."
Xiao Si didn't care about such a small matter at all. Although there were indeed strong people on the human side, and her plan had just started, the bonus brought by the time ability was beyond her imagination. Combined with her original space ability, she felt that her strength was already enough to stand up and take action. With just these two abilities, she was sure to contend with the demon king of Milim's level, without worrying about being forced to use divine power.
"Didn't you say you have no fighting ability?"
"Oh, so you really believed it?"
Rimuru turns back into a slime, showing a sweaty expression.
This guy finally stopped pretending. It seemed that Kroye's skill was indeed not simple. But how did this guy do it? He had never had any contact with Kroye, but he copied Kroye's skills after just meeting her once. It turned out that she was the most perverted one!
"By the way, the demon who used the barrier was captured by Hongwan. Unlike what you saw in the parallel world, she was completely controlled and now she has no idea what happened. It's up to you whether you want to save her or not." Xiao Si left after saying this.
"Then I'll take my leave."
When the kingdom's general saw the bishop disappear, he immediately said goodbye to Rimuru and the others. He didn't dare to stay in the country alone. The monsters were looking at him with murderous eyes.
"Huh, lucky guy."
Aster was unhappy.
In the parallel world, it was this person who killed her, and it was this person who ordered the massacre of the citizens.
"Well, after all, he didn't have time to do anything in reality. Even his troops and the king he was loyal to were wiped out. Now he has become a puppet controlled by Xiao Si. He has also received the retribution he deserved over there. I will kill him personally."
Rimuru jumped onto Aster's head.
"Lord Rimuru!"
Shion reached out and held Rimuru in her arms.
"Then go back and tell everyone about these things. We also have to deal with that person's matter... It's really a headache. There is no hero here to capture her heart. I don't know if she will still cooperate with us."
Rimuru knew who Xiao Si was talking about. In the parallel world, the other party successfully sneaked in through the hero's team and released the magic-forbidden barrier under Clayman's control. In the world over there, Clayman used the other party's love for the hero to threaten him. In the real world, according to Xiao Si, the other party sneaked in while his mind was controlled.
But it was indeed their own problem. He was even less vigilant than himself in the parallel world. The checkpoints for entering and leaving Rimuru City were not strict. As long as they registered, they could come in. Whether they were humans or monsters, they could enter and exit Rimuru City freely.
As a result, Clement controlled that person and walked into Rimuru City openly.
But fortunately, unlike the parallel world, he has two reliable predecessors.
[Chapter 66: Cleaning up the mess]
“Eh? Milim left because of something?”
Rimuru did not see Milim during the meeting. After asking, he found out that Milim had left a month ago and no news had been sent back since then. This was why that group of humans were able to come in and cause trouble. If Milim was there, she would never wait until Aster and the others were at a disadvantage before showing up to help, like the bad-tempered Koji did.
Although there was no news about Milim, Rimuru was not too worried about her. After all, Milim was the "Destruction Tyrant" - the oldest demon king! Although Milim looked like an ordinary girl, there should be no one in this world who could threaten Milim's safety.
"Ligurd, first report the situation in the city." Although there were no casualties, a lot of buildings were damaged due to the battle between Aster and others. Compensation for these losses will be demanded from the kingdom later.
Ligurd reported the situation. When the battle broke out, Zhu Lai used the ability of the Thought Network to let the nearby guards take the citizens to take refuge. This is why no one supported them at that time, but because of this, the citizens were not affected. The only losses were some houses and a few shops near the city gate.
Rimuru took a look at the report and found that the pig-headed man was already rebuilding the damaged house. It would only take two or three days to restore it to its original state.
"Well, the next thing is... the transaction with the Beast Kingdom. Huh? The envoys are actually in the city! That guy Koji actually left such an important guest aside, ah..." Rimuru looked at the next report and couldn't help but cover his forehead with a headache.
The report stated that a delegation from the Beast Kingdom arrived two days ago. This was a deal agreed upon during the last alliance. Now that the fruit is ripe, the delegation came here with a large amount of fruit for the trade.
Xiao Si accepted all the goods that the other party brought, and then left them in the embassy, leaving all the transaction matters to the dog-headed merchant. Although there was nothing wrong with this approach, there were generals from the Beast Kingdom in the opposing envoy group. As a friendly country, they should receive them well.
But after all, he was that Xiao Si. Not to mention the generals of the Beast Kingdom, even if the Lion King Karion came in person, she might not be able to look at him straight in the eye.
"Lord Rimuru, the people from the Adventurer's Guild and Miss Shizuka are here. Should we let them in?" Souei suddenly asked.
"Well, let them in. If I'm not mistaken, they must have received the message and are here to help us. However, the matter is already over, and it would be embarrassing to let them make a wasted trip."
At this time, a space door opened, Xiaobai came out, put a crystal ball on the table, and said: "Xiao Si said that this matter is left to you to handle."
"Ok?"
When Rimuru landed in front of the crystal ball, he saw a young man wearing a crown standing in front of the divine core with awe on his face, making a declaration.
What it means is that the Kingdom of Farmus will establish Catholicism as the state religion, and everyone from the king to the ordinary citizens must believe in Allah and reject all heretical beliefs, including the Holy Church. The kingdom will then develop the country in accordance with the oracles, and theocracy will override royal power.
"Analysis completed. This crystal ball can convey messages to the other side. Xiao Si probably wants you to manage things over there. Gaining control of the Kingdom of Farmus will be beneficial to the development of the alliance. I suggest you accept it."
"Great Sage, no, King of Wisdom, have you become more intelligent? You would never make such a decision for me before, and before that you also..."
"No. It's just your illusion."
"is it?"
Rimuru swallowed the crystal ball helplessly and let the King of Wisdom be responsible for this matter. The King of Wisdom did not refuse, or was very interested. After all, what Xiao Si wanted was just the illusory faith, and he did not care about material things such as the kingdom's property. It can be said that Xiao Si was giving a kingdom to Rimuru for free. The King of Wisdom was very clear about this and was naturally interested in taking on this task.
"Lord Rimuru, reinforcements from the Dwarf Kingdom have arrived, led by His Majesty the Dwarf King himself."
Souei's clone outside saw the guest again.
Rimuru still responded the same way and asked Souei to let the people in. After all, those who arrived first at this time were his most reliable friends. You have to know that the Kingdom of Farmus had just launched its invasion not long ago. Those who could arrive at this time meant that they came as soon as they received the news.
Rimuru was actually a little surprised. You know, in the parallel world, the reinforcements did not arrive so quickly. It can only be said that it is indeed a different world line.
Soon, guests gathered at the scene.
However, their expressions at this time were probably the same, all of them were surprised and didn't know how to describe the expression, because they all came to support the Demon Federation as quickly as possible, but they didn't expect that after they arrived at full speed, they heard the news that the war was over. It was said that the enemy had just issued a declaration, and then they were all wiped out in the next moment.
“Thank you for coming to support us.”
"Don't be ridiculous. It was over when we arrived. Although we knew he was powerful, we didn't expect him to be so powerful that he could annihilate 30,000 troops with just one strike. We saw a little bit of the scope of the destruction when we came here just now. We really can't imagine what kind of moves could cause such destruction. If that kind of attack landed on Dowagon, we wouldn't be able to withstand it. You have to keep an eye on that lord."
Gazel's palms are still sweating. Fortunately, the adult did not destroy Dowagun back then, otherwise the Dwarf Kingdom would be gone now.
"Huh, I was wondering why you were so calm when you heard the news about the Farmus Kingdom. It turns out you have such a big shot hiding here."
The vice president of the Adventurer's Guild had a look of melancholy on his face. He didn't know whether his country's alliance with the Demon Federation was a good thing or not, because this ally was so powerful that it frightened them, and the emperor of the Eastern Empire would definitely not turn a blind eye to such a powerful force.
But there is no way to get off the boat now. After all, this person here is not necessarily weaker than the emperor.
"Rimuru, I'm glad you're okay."
Miss Shizuka stepped forward and picked up Rimuru.
Rimuru had to be vague about the words of his senior brother and the vice president, because he didn't know that Xiao Si was so strong before, and even now he didn't know how strong Xiao Si was, so this matter could not be discussed.
"Speaking of which, Rimuru...you won't awaken and become a demon king, right?" Gazel asked uncertainly because it was too unbelievable.
Rimuru jumped down from Miss Shizuka's arms and turned into a human form. His image changed from a young boy to a handsome young man. He sat back in his seat and said with a smile: "Yes, because Xiao Si passed the 30,000 souls to me, I successfully awakened to become a demon king."
"..."
Gazel picked up the glass without saying a word.
He is not envious at all. Really!
[Chapter 67: The Strongest Demon King]
The cold continent.
A land of permanent ice with a temperature below minus 120 degrees Celsius all year round. This is the territory of the "Dark Emperor - Guy Kulimthorn".
The castle in the center of this icy land is called the White Ice Palace - a demon castle that was formed in the real world through a huge magic power beyond imagination. It is also the palace of the Demon King Dark Emperor, one of the most difficult places in the world to capture.
The demon kings who received the invitation came to the White Ice Palace with the invitation. Only those who were at the same level as the Dark Emperor or those who were admired by the Dark Emperor were eligible to be invited. Demon kings of Clement's level would naturally not be included in the invitation scope this time.
A handsome blond man walked freely into the White Ice Palace. He looked so familiar and relaxed, as if he had come to his own home. However, he was not the Dark Emperor, but another demon king, Leon Cromwell, known as the "Platinum Sword King".
"Devil Lord Leon Cromwell has arrived!"
Along with this voice, the door of the audience room deep in the White Ice Palace opened. As Leon walked along, he saw many high-level named demons guarding the White Ice Palace. Now, behind this door, there are six high-level demon generals with strength close to the level of true demon kings guarding in front of the throne.
The figure sitting on the throne is the owner of this place, but compared to this acquaintance, Leon is more concerned about the figure standing next to the throne.
“Demon Lord Milim, you asked Guy to summon us?” Leon was originally wondering why Guy would specially send a high-level demon general to deliver a letter to him. Now that he saw Milim, he understood everything.
“My friend, Leon, don’t be so nervous. Milim doesn’t want to start a war with anyone. She came to me this time just to hold a demon king banquet. My friend, new demon kings have been born, and they have been verified by Milim herself. There are three new demon kings.”
It was not difficult to tell from Guy's tone that he was very happy. After all, the world seemed peaceful on the surface, but in reality the war between the Demon King and the Eastern Empire had not ended yet. They were just restraining each other. Now, with the addition of a new force worth looking forward to, as a leader among the Demon Kings, Guy was of course filled with joy.
"Three?"
Leon was a little surprised.
This number is a bit exaggerated.
After all, it’s rare for a demon king to appear in a hundred years, let alone three of them appearing at once, and their strength has been verified by the demon king Milim.
“Yes, there are indeed three demon kings, because not long ago, a guy who was originally just a candidate also completed his awakening. If Clayman is included, there will be four demon kings awakened this time. But what makes me happy is not only the increase in the number of demon kings, but also that among the demon kings awakened this time, there is one who is powerful enough to rival Milim and me.”
Qi tapped lightly on the handle of the chair with his fingers. The next moment, the light around him dimmed and a picture appeared on the smooth floor. The scene was the outskirts of the Jura Forest. Tens of thousands of human troops were gathering in this place. Leon thought of the news he had received before, that a kingdom of monsters appeared in the Jura Forest, and these humans should have come for those monsters.
(Are they the opponents of the new demon king?)
When Leon was thinking about how the new demon king would appear, the light in the picture suddenly changed, and he could no longer maintain his expression, because the scene was too terrifying - the sun fell, just as the name meant, the sun fell from the sky, just evaporating the entire army, and he carefully noticed that the range of damage was exactly the position of the army, not more than one meter away.
"This, this is?!"
“The strength of the new demon king. Hahaha! What an exaggeration! Even Milim and I would have to use our real strength to resist this move. And I’m sure you’ve noticed that the power of this move is completely controlled, and the damage to the surroundings is close to zero. This level of control is something I’ve never seen before. Even I can’t do such a powerful move and still master it perfectly.”
Not kidding.
Leon remained silent.
Guy was serious. He was truly certain that this new Demon King was a monster that was no less powerful than him and Milim. This made Leon feel a little complicated.
Why are there so many monsters in this world?
Guy saw Leon's expression and was very satisfied. After all, it was a rare thing to see this man show such an expression. But in fact, there was one thing he didn't tell Leon, that is, they had confirmed that the new demon king had the power to enable others to complete the awakening of the demon king, which was what he cared about most.
The Demon King's awakening ceremony is actually not that simple. Even if you know that the condition is the soul, simply harvesting souls may not necessarily complete the awakening. For example, Clement secretly bought thousands of human slaves and had already met the number of souls required for awakening, but he did not complete the awakening.
What is really needed for awakening is not to obtain souls. Guy speculated that it is necessary to absorb souls, but the skill of absorbing souls is very rare, not to mention the skill of helping others absorb souls. This is the first time even he has heard of such a skill.
But according to Milim, the other party does have this skill, because he is an expert in controlling souls and can even bring the dead back to life.
(If we can get her help, the power of the Demon King's army will increase dramatically, and the Eastern Empire will no longer be a threat. But what price should we pay to win her help... Is what this idiot Milim said reliable? Is it really possible to succeed just by helping to promote faith?)
At the end of the video, there is a scene of Rimuru awakening to become a demon king in front of Koji. After seeing Rimuru's awakening, Leon guessed something that Guy didn't say. No wonder Guy was so happy, because several demon generals under Guy had already met the conditions for awakening, but they just couldn't complete the awakening. Even though they knew that the soul was the key, no matter how many souls they harvested, they were still unable to complete the awakening ceremony.
"Um?!"
Finally, Leon saw the girl in the image look up at him, and her eyes seemed to notice their peeping. Although it was incredible, he thought it was not his illusion.
Because the next moment, the magic device that projected the image shattered. Guy and Milim looked used to it, but Leon couldn’t help but frown. This might not be the first time it happened.
These two people knew that the other party was impatient, but they still took out this video. And if I guessed correctly, they should have kept the video. I just don't know if the person in the video will be
I was angry about this matter, after all, that person had obviously discovered it.
“Leon, you have to participate in this banquet. Everyone has to participate this time. I called you here to inform you of this matter. After all, if I don’t do this, you will definitely be absent at that time.”
"I understand. I will attend this time."
Leon nodded.
"After all, she may change the current situation."
"You just understand."
Guy smiled.
[Chapter 68: Rude Devil]
The Demon King Banquet is a feast that only Demon Kings can attend. It is basically held only when a new Demon King is born or a large-scale event occurs. Of course, most Demon Kings do what they want, so as long as they have enough power, it is allowed to hold a Demon King Banquet even for a small matter. However, doing so may cause dissatisfaction or even hostility from other Demon Kings, and Demon King Banquets are generally not mandatory.
However, this world is a world of strength and the survival of the fittest. Therefore, if the one who convened the Demon King Banquet was a demon king of the Dark Tyrant's level, then apart from Leon, who had a close relationship with the Dark Tyrant, ordinary demon kings would not dare to ignore him. Even Milim had to consider her dragon people who believed in her and give Guy face in this matter. However, with Milim's personality, she would not refuse such a lively event as a banquet.
Having said so much, in fact, the Demon King's Banquet is just a meeting of demons. If it weren't for the demon in front of him who inexplicably ran into his house, Xiao Si would not have thought of looking for information about the Demon King's Banquet.
