Everything the Pig-Head Emperor did seemed extremely cruel, but it was all for food and for the survival of his own race. His spirit had not kept up with the expansion of power, and his consciousness was blurred, but the instinct to protect the race was still there. The Pig-Heads fought for their own
King, is also willing to sacrifice his life and soul. This makes the evolution of the Pig-headed Emperor extremely smooth.
However, regardless of whether the Pig-Headed Emperor is a demon king or not, the difference between Ultima's instant kill with one blow or a combo of punches is that if she intends to operate [Death Blessing [death strwak]] on the premise of letting the Pig-Headed Emperor die,
It is impossible for the Pig-headed Emperor to evolve.
Among the orders Ultima received, there was a part that "leave the pig-headed emperor to Rimuru and the others, leaving enough magic for Rimuru to become a demon king and enough soul to become an awakened demon king", so even if he deliberately let it go
The pig-headed emperor evolved and took away the souls that were supposed to be dedicated to Crounpith, but did not kill the pig-headed emperor. It would have been nice to kill ten thousand more, and the consumption of the black flame against Ultima was not big.
Of course, there was also the option of capturing the souls of the pig-headed tribesmen killed by other monsters and the souls of other monsters sacrificed in this war to recharge, and she did so. However, serving her master could not just focus on the present.
……………………………………………………
After receiving the soul sent by Ultima, Cronpis opened her eyes and looked at the sky.
Of course there is nothing in the sky. I just thought of the so-called "sound of the world" and did it subconsciously.
She is waiting. According to [The Omniscient One]'s previous calculations, this much should be enough.
It was originally part of the evolution of the demon king species into the ritual of awakening the demon king, and was specially separated for Crounpis. Naturally, this kind of thing cannot be easily done by ordinary people and monsters. It was Crounpis who came to this world.
The starting point is too high, and it is possible to do this because it is much higher than the awakened Demon King. In other words, because the starting point is already above the Demon King, it is not so easy to awaken and become the Demon King.
Although she is not interested in whether the world considers her the devil.
Apart from the title, the biggest benefit of becoming the Awakened Demon King is probably that the family members who are soul-connected with you can be blessed, and they can advance together with the Demon King, which is of great benefit. If Crounpis needs to develop his own tribe, he can even use it for his own life.
Putting magic elements into them and allowing them to evolve may not be worse than the devil's blessing.
"Report. Confirm whether the number of souls reaches the evolution standard...Confirmation completed. Meet the specified conditions. Start application: Unique skill [Omniscient] challenges evolution...failed."
"Execution again...failed."
"Execution again...failed."
"Execution again...failed."
This feeling was very familiar, but luckily Cronpis had anticipated this situation, and the number of souls she asked for from Ultima was actually a lot more.
"Lower the standard, retain only the query and calculation power, and at the same time sacrifice all the remaining souls to activate [wish upon a star]."
"Received...Trying to apply for skills again...unique skill [Omniscient] challenges evolution...failed."
"Execution again...failed."
"Execution again...failed."
"[own time acceleration]." Crownpis activated the skill, which was calculated tens of millions of times in a very short time, so——
"Report. Sacrificing the unique skill [Ignorant]...[Omniscient] integrates the unique skill [Fusioner], and the unique skill [Omniscient] challenges evolution...successfully. The unique skill [Omniscient] evolves into [Omniscient]
The King of Knowledge】.》
"Report. Try applying for skills again...the unique skill [Fusioner] begins to challenge fusion."
"Wait a minute, aren't [Fusioner] and [Ignorancer] gone? Sacrifice and integration are not consumed?"
"Notice. It has been copied and saved."
"………………"
"The [King of Omniscient] calculates...the reason why the [Fusioner] challenge failed, the amount of magic element did not reach the [Fusioner] challenge regulation standard, and the soul was consumed..."
"Stop! Don't waste it! Isn't it enough that my mp is converted into magic element?"
"The [Fusioner] challenge...requires the same amount of souls and magic elements as the individual 'Crownpith Lilith Hekatia Lampades'."
"Is it equivalent to using the rules of this world to reshape an individual that is the same as me and fuse it? It's really troublesome... How much is needed? Wait..." After Crounpis came to this world, there were no restrictions like in the Overlord world.
Based on her own size and strength, she immediately divided herself and limited herself to the standard of level 300. Then she continued, "Okay, how much is needed now, calculated based on the level of the Pig Head Clan."
In the original time and space, when Rimuru evolved into the Demon King and integrated various skills, his status was not as high as this. Crounpis just wants to take a step now, and does not give his whole self to this world.
This level is enough.
"Report. One hundred and thirteen thousand six hundred and twenty-one."
"Does it need to be accurate to one place?!"

battlefield--
"Was that Ultima-sama's magic just now?"
"It's so powerful!"
"But the Pig-headed Emperor is not dead yet. Although there is no movement, it is not an illusion. His breath makes my skin crawl even more."
"No, it's not an illusion, it's the instinct to feel threatened."
"Don't waste the opportunity created by Ultima-sama, solve it now!"
The strong ones with names from the Oni Tribe, the Goblin Tribe, the Goblin Tribe, and the Rabbit Tribe were lined up in a row, plus a Ranka.
Lanka looked up to the sky and howled, releasing the [Black Thunder Storm] that had just turned a large number of pig-head tribes into ashes and scattered them.
However, the pig-headed demon king was half-kneeling in the storm, using the butcher knife in his hand to support his unconscious body. He was safe and sound, and a yellow mist appeared all over his body that seemed to protect him. This shocked all the monsters.
"[Silk Demon Binding Formation]!"
Souei, who has the ability to attack at mid-range, took action. He controlled the sticky steel wire with both hands to restrain the pig-headed demon king.
However, the steel wires immediately began to be corroded by the yellow gas and began to break quickly one by one. Then Katori threw boomerangs from a distance with two cross-flying combos, leaving two large gashes on the pig-headed demon king. Blood sprayed out, but he could return.
The dart was also corroded and flew back with the yellow gas. Katori was so frightened that he didn't dare to take it back and hurriedly ran backwards to avoid it.
Katori, who was not a fighting race to begin with, lost all his fighting spirit after losing the means of attack using dwarf weapons.
Although the monsters and demons who were sprinting were brave, they reflexively stopped suddenly and worked together to use long-range attacks.
The sword qi and the rays of sword light kept exploding on the pig-headed devil!
