Scene: An empty multiversal corridor — no stars, no time. A ripple in space as Rimuru Tempest, clad in his black-and-gold Divine Demon Lord attire, steps through a portal. The air crackles.
Across from him, leaning against nothing, stands Yogiri Takatou — calm, indifferent, as usual.
🎙️ Ciel: "Caution. Unknown entity ahead. Risk level: absolute. Reality structure distortion detected. Analysis initiated."
Rimuru doesn't speak. He senses it too — a pressure that feels like death itself is watching him. But Ciel is already 1 trillion calculations deep.
🧠 Ciel's Thought Thread:
Instant Death Mechanism: Passive activation
Trigger: Perceived threat + Yogiri's awareness
Solution: Prevent perception via 4D quantum folding, and neutralize soul anchor
Ciel rewrites Rimuru's soul on the spot, making it conceptually unreadable. Even Yogiri can't "see" him now — not as a living being, anyway.
🧊 Yogiri: (blinks)
"…Something's off."
He tries to engage his ability. Just a flicker of intent.
But nothing happens.
🧬 Rimuru (calmly):
"Trying to kill me already? You don't even know who I am."
🧠 Ciel: "Yogiri Takatou — phase-based concept destruction ability. Type: absolute overwrite. However… activation requires conceptual anchoring."
Rimuru raises a hand. A swirling sphere forms — not magic, but Law Materialization.
Inside it? A copy of Yogiri's power structure.
😵💫 Yogiri:
"…How did you—"
Rimuru vanishes. Reappears behind him.
🔁 Ciel: "Causal loop locked. Yogiri now perceives Rimuru as non-interfering environmental data. Trigger: null."
Rimuru touches his shoulder.
☠️ Yogiri:
"...Wait."
A ripple in his core. He can't feel his power.
💻 Ciel: "Power extracted. Instant Death is now under analysis. Risk factor: neutralized. Target converted to non-hostile state."
Rimuru smiles.
🪬 Rimuru:
"You're dangerous. But you're predictable. You rely on inevitability — I rely on Ciel."
Yogiri collapses, not dead — just entirely shut out of the system. His ability, stolen. His soul, quarantined.
🎤 Final Words (Ciel):
"Victory. Yogiri Takatou assimilated. Power index updated. Rimuru-sama remains absolute."
🏁 Rimuru-sama Wins — 10D Chess Style
Yogiri had the nuke.
Rimuru disabled the launch system, reverse-engineered the tech, then built a better one — all while sipping tea made from the concept of time.
