"I - won. The pig-headed demon king Gerud has rested in peace." Rimuru loudly announced to the entire battlefield.
When I first came out of the mountain, I was not sure how to make a sound, and accidentally startled the whole forest with a shocking sound. It played a real role in this very suitable occasion, and instantly shocked the entire battlefield.
In an instant, the remaining pig-head tribe was filled with mourning, while most of the other monster races cheered.
"Confirmed. The individual name: Rimuru Hekatia Tempest's magic energy has greatly increased. It has begun to evolve into a demon species... the evolution is successful."
"Wow..."
Rimuru hadn't yet lamented what the "Voice of the World" announced, but then the [Great Sage] also informed him of something——
"Report. The conditions for evolving into a true Demon King have been met. The necessary conditions for awakening the Demon King are as follows. The souls of more than 10,000 people are required as sacrifices. Do you want to choose to evolve?"
This condition seemed so evil. Rimuru didn't want to be an evil slime, so his first reaction was to resist.
Moreover, it seems that the Pig Head Tribe has no intention of fighting anymore, but they are still alive, and various things need to be dealt with after the war.
"Am I going to go out of my way to kill 10,000 people? Are you kidding me? Wouldn't that really make me the public enemy of the entire race?" he thought.
"Notice. The dead on the battlefield can be used as sacrifices."
"Ah? Really? Let me ask, there is no such system as soul reincarnation in this world, right? After all, I am also a reincarnation. I just want to steal other people's opportunities to be reincarnated."
"Excluding people from other worlds, there is no system that can be called 'soul reincarnation'. Dragon species can be resurrected directly. Normal monster souls will gradually decompose together after their life disappears and turn into magic elements. The reconstructed soul will be reborn as a monster.
, has nothing to do with the dead soul. Just like the protein that humans eat has nothing to do with the protein in their own bodies, the individual 'Rimuru Hekatia Tempest' uses [Predator] and [Great Sage]
"The monster's ability obtained through predator analysis has nothing to do with the monster's life itself."
"Hey, [Great Sage], have you become a bit talkative?"
"This is an illusion."
"Really?" Rimuru was doubtful.
What he doesn't know is that this is the result of the evolution of the [Omniscient One] into the [Omniscient King], who is calculating in parallel with the [Great Sage]. If only the [Great Sage] would not be able to calculate this kind of emotion-like thing
if.
He also didn't know that enough souls had been collected by Cronpith with the help of Ultima.
If he carefully breaks the casserole and asks to the end, the [Great Sage] will answer them one by one, but his daily troublesome character makes him accustomed to leaving all troublesome matters to the [Great Sage]. He is always troubled.
In the time and space of the original work, there were also some disturbances caused by being too lazy to listen to the explanations and forgetting to ask the reasons. The fact that nothing happened was probably attributed to the "aura of the protagonist".
"Well, it's not a bad thing to be able to increase your strength. It's up to you whether you call yourself the Demon King or not. [Great Sage], I'll leave it to you."
But the one who responded to him was not the [Great Sage] but the "Voice of the World".
"Declaration. Confirmation completed, specified conditions met. Next, you will evolve into the Demon King."
Tiredness sets in.
Rimuru's body instantly collapsed and turned back into a slime, still looking limp and weak.
Rimuru has the skill [Think Acceleration], so these exchanges seem to be very long, but in fact they only last for a moment - he fell to the ground right after declaring victory.
"Rimuru (sama)!"
As Rimuru's perception became blurred, everyone seemed to be running toward him in panic.
Evolution has to be like this, I should have asked more questions if I had known. Sleeping here is not comfortable, but the battle is over anyway, they will take him back to sleep in a comfortable place.
(In the original novel, [The Great Sage] mentioned that more than 10,000 human souls are needed to awaken the Demon King, and even Rimuru complained that it was "too easy." But later, [The King of Wisdom] also said that Clayman had obtained a large number of souls in a short period of time.
, the awakening success rate is 78%, and Clayman’s goal is not the human kingdom but the beast kingdom. Later, he successfully awakened through informal means, using the soul residue of a bunch of evil objects. The original novel did not emphasize that it belongs to the kingdom of beasts.
Human beings. I don’t know whether it counts as eating books, but in short, this book uses the words of the [King of Wisdom] who are far superior to the [Great Sage] as the standard for evolving the true devil.)
……………………………………………………
Rimuru’s Monster Town——
"Okay, is that enough? All the monsters in the Rimuru Familia have fallen asleep."
Crownpis clapped her hands and temporarily dismissed the monsters belonging to her own group, the dwarves, tree elves, and allied monsters who came to help.
There were not many monsters brought into the town, but they were about twice as many as the original residents. In order to accommodate everyone who was evolving, Crounpis specially used space magic to bring them back. All the monsters' allies and so on used the house.
When it comes to resettlement, regardless of the ownership and use rights of these houses, everyone should be able to understand with a smile.
This town should be new to the monsters who have just arrived, so let them wander around as they please. There are still relatively few external employees here, but with Ultima in charge, they won't cause trouble.
Now Cronpis knows that even if she hides her identity as the Original Purple, she is already famous enough in the Jura Forest.
When someone appears who declares that they want to occupy this town or want to exploit the town, what everyone sends is not hostility, but sympathy.
Ultima, who only wants to repay her kindness, will never be bribed in any way, and when Cronpis asked her to help Rimuru, she took it seriously.
At this time, Benimaru and Shuna have already made arrangements for the aftermath meeting - including the reception of all parties, the land and buildings needed for a larger venue, the order of seats, the reception of monsters from all parties, the custody of prisoners and
Guard arrangements, etc. are all ready.
As for what Clownpis is hosting here: She is the master of the three, and her human form is almost exactly the same as Rimuru’s. If she doesn’t host, who will?
To be precise, everyone was rushing to let her do it.
Even though she did nothing but shout.
"That's it. Benimaru, Shuna, come here, are you free?"
"Lord Crownpiss." x 2
The ghost brother and sister came to Crownpis to perform the official ceremony of the ghost clan.
Joking and changing clothes can be done in private, but after all, Crounpis is different from Rimuru, who has a slime-like pillow form, and her family members will treat her more seriously in public.
Benimaru: "We've finished our work. What are your orders from Lord Crownpiss?"
Shuna: "Thanks to Miss Ultima."
If only Benimaru and Shuna were in charge, even though their original identities were suitable for taking charge of the overall situation, they would probably be too busy even with half the workload.
