Previous Chapter:

'Now that I think about it. Rimuru did not devour the alpha. How will he gain those skills. *Sigh* Such a pain in the Slime a*s. Let's think about it tomorrow.

Present:

• MC's POV •

Rimuru & I were now under a tree in our Slime forms. This form is good I like it. I wonder which type of house should I make.

"Hey Rimuru"

"Yeah?"

"I want to transfer the information of the alpha, will you Accept it?"

"Sure"

'Solomon'

[Send skills & form of the alpha wolf to individual Rimuru?(Yes/No)]

'Yes'

A few seconds passed & Rimuru was staring me like he have seen a ghost.

"You gave me the skills of the Alpha?"

"Yup!"

"Can you also create skills?"

"Yup"

"Damn you"

"Keh-heh-heh-heh" I used the Iconic Diablo laugh.

After that We shared some memories of eachother. 'Hmm, I was thinking how much potential do I have?' Let's ask this to 'Solomon' 'Solomon, how much potential do I have? Can you please tell me?' I asked. I should atleast have the potential to be as strong as a True Dragon. Even if I won't be as strong as True Dragon, I won't have any regrets. [Master, after checking you previous memories & analyzing you. You can become the strongest.] 'EHHH! WHATT?? HOW? I didn't aske... Wait! I remember now. When I was dying, I asked the Voice of the World to lift all of my Limits, so that I can become the strongest.' I totally forgot. *Sigh* 'Thank you, Solomon' [No problem, Master. It's my job.]

<>

Right now, I am sitting on a log with Rimuru on my lap. "Rimuru, Let's call them."

"Mm, oi-" I cut him off.

"Wait" I was going to call them the 'Subjects' that was so cool. I really wanted to call someone with that. Hehe.

"What's wrong, brother." Rimuru asked. He's confused. About why I stopped him. Well, your answer is here.

"I wanted to call them something I just remembered."

"Okay?!"

"Group together my Subjects"

"Eh!" Rimuru is confused. Let's ignore him. Man that was so cool I really wanted to try that. Now that I have used that I won't say it again. Even if it's cool. It is still embarrassing.

"You really are a big otaku." Rimuru said. Well, yeah! I was.

After 5 minutes everyone gathered in one place. Hmm, Let's see, I used thought communication with Rimuru about whom he & I name.

(Rimuru, let's give them names.)

(Yeah, I was also thinking about giving them names.) Rimuru replied.

(Rimuru, let's split the naming work. I'll give names to the Direwolves. And you give the Goblins. Also you don't have much Magicules so, it'll be risky if you give all of them names... right?)

(Wait, how can you say that I'll run out of Magicules?) He asked.

(Do you remember about my Ultimate Skill?)

(Mm, I remember. It's an over powered skill of yours.That can analyze anything...)

(Yeah! So, that's how I calculated everything.) I lied again.

(Ok, I'll give names to the Goblins. But first we have to put some rules so that they don't go on berserk.)

(Okk.)

"Ok, everyone listen up, yesterday's enemy is today's friend. You all have to get along with eachother, so we will be pairing you up."

Everyone were confused a bit.

"What he means is that you'll will form a group of two. One goblin will have one wolf as a companion, yoll all got that?" I explained.

"""Haii!"""

"Good, now form two lines of goblins & Direwolves. Me & Rimuru will grant you all names."

"Yeah, what he said."

After that, the goblins & direwolves were shocked. Cheers erupted knowing they all will receive a name. They quickly formed two lines with Rimuru naming the goblins & me naming the direwolves. Well, in this way Rimuru won't even havta go into sleep mode. I looked to my left side & saw Rimuru granting the goblins the same name as the anime. So, I turned my head & saw the alpha infront of me.

"Alpha, from today onwards your name will be 'Raiga.' And you shall be my brother's wolf companion!"

"Arigato, Rizaku-Sama." The Alpha glowed a bit. His scar slowly healed & grew to an enormous size with 2 protruding horns. He directly evolved into Tempest-Star Wolf. His son evolved into Tempest Wolf with one protruding horn.

I felt 1% of my Magicules being sucked away. This is the reason why you should be careful.

"Raiga's son come here."

As I said that, the unnamed Ranga stepped forward. Raiga looked at the scene with curious eyes. I wonder why...?

"Yes, Rizaku-Sama?"

"I will grant you the name 'Ranga' & you will be my companion!"

"Thank you very much, Rizaku-Sama!" Ranga slowly grew bigger into the same size as his father with one more extra horn on hus head.

"Ranga, you have the potential to be as strong... No stronger than that of your father."

All wolves were suprised to hear that. Raiga was to hear that his son will become stronger than him. Well, Good for him.

"Really, my master?" Ranga asked.

"Yup, let's all get along.

"""Hai"""

I turned my head back to Rimuru and somehow saw his eys were bulging.

"Brother"

"Yes?"

"Why do you look so shocked?"

"I didn't knew naming them will change them that much. Just look the elder! He looks like he can strangle a tiger in few seconds!"

"I did tell you that monsters evolve depending on how strong thr namer is. Look at Raiga or his son Ranga, they can easily destroy all the trees in a... Mmm I think about... 1 mile radius."

"I can see Rimuru barely holding onto his soul from flying out. Well, yeah. That was expected. He's just few months old and he do not have much knowledge about this world. I should tell him that he is stronger than them.

"Relex, brother. You are still stronger than them and let's call everyone here."

"I know." He showed his Tsundere side.

"Ho. Since when did you became a Tsundere like Veldora."

"Hey, everyone!" He totally ignored me. Well, leave him. And as Rimuru gathered the attention of everyone. I think he's gonna set some rules.

"As you can see, we are a huge family now. So to avoid problems, I think we should set some rules. So, that we can avoid future problems."

"""Rules?"""

"There are 3 major rules, we'd like you to uphold them at the very least. 1st, no attacking humans. 2nd, no fighting amongst yourselves. 3rd, no belittling other races."

'I did not let him change the 1st rul because I need them to attack our village or in the future a city by the Falmuth war. This will make Rimuru realize the cruelty of this world and lead him to become a Demon Lord.'

"If anyone have any questions the you can ask"

"Sir Rimuru, I have a question. Rigur shouted. " Why are not allowed to attack humans?"

"Simple: Because I like humans! That's all."

"Ah! Very good! I understand!"

"Listen up, Human beings live in a very large groups, If you lay hands on them, they may retaliate in force and if they throw everything they have at you, I doubt you would be able to defend yourselves. That's why we prohibited interfering with them. It'd help you all if you were friendly with them." I explained. Not that I'll have them Attack us.

"Is there anything else?" Rimuru asked.

"Sir, I have also have a question." Gobtaman asked. (A/N: Superman ❌ Gobtaman ✔️.)

"What?"

"What do you mean by 'Do not belittle other races'?"

"Well, all of you guys are freshly evolved, right? I'm just saying, don't let that get to your head and start lording it over all the other weaker races! Just because you're all a little sturdier doesn't mean you're some high-and-all mighty race now. Sooner or later, your rivals will get just as strong as you or even stronger than you and they'll want to get back at you. That'd suck, wouldn't it?" I finished explaining. Man, how am I able to explain all of these. In my previous life I was not even being able to explain a short sentence. [Master, won't have to worry about explaining.] Oh! I have had a doubt that 'Solomon' you were helping me. Thank you very much. [No Master, it's my job.]

"That's pretty much it. Stick to those rules as much as you can, all right?" My thoughts were interrupted. *Sigh*

"""Haiii"""

"Rigurd, we hereby appoint you 'goblin lord'! It will be your job to keep the Goblins and this village well run and well governed." I said.

"Y-yes, Rizaku-Sama!!! I promise you that I, Rigurd will devote my body & soul to this vital post!!" He said while crying.

Rigurd was crying his eyes out in joy. I can see Rimuru feeling awkward, so I will have to decide what we should do now about this problem.

"Hey, I think we should go to Dwargon. It is the Kingdom of dwarves, so I was hoping to recruit some artisans. Do anyone of you know the route to Dwargon." I decided to rely on others I just suck at leading routes & if I lead someone we will hust get lost. It's so embarrassing.

"Sir, I have gone there. I'll lead you to Dwargon. Gobta shouted.

"Great, then let's go!" And thus we left to Dwargon, the Kingdom of Dwarves. I was riding on Ranga and Rimuru was riding on Ranga. Rigur, Gobtaman, and 2 more goblins followed us. After the sky darkened, we set up a camp. Currently, we all are surrounding a campfire.

"Raiga" I called out him cause now currently he's the leader.

"Yes, my Lord?"

"Don't you want to take revenge for what I did?"

Everyone went silent.

"Yes, my lord. I have thought of that, but even if were to fight with you, we'd still lose."

"Yeah!"

"The thought of revenge has long been gone. Not only did you spare us, but also granted us names. I could only feel gratitude towards you, Master." Ehhh! 'Solomon' [Yes, Master.] She's angry. I can understand why she is angry.

"Father is right." Range reassured.

"Glad to hear that." I smiled happily. "Also don't calle master, okay. You see, when you call me master I feel embarrassed." 'Now only you can call me Master, Solomon." [Thank you, Master.] She really gained emotions this fast. *Sigh*

"Hey, um, Rigur? By the way... Who was it that named your brother, anyway?" Rimuru asked.

"Ah, thank you for recalling my name, Sir Rimuru! My brother was named by a passing member of the magic-born races."

"Oh? One of them visited a random goblin village?"

"Indeed, Sir Rimuru, about a decade ago. When I was still a child. He spent several days in my village...and he claimed to have 'seen something' in my brother, in his words."

"Huh! Must have been a nice brother."

"Oh, absolutely! He was my pride and joy. Sir Gelmud, the one who bestowed the name, said it himself. 'I would love to have you among my men.' he said!"

"But he didn't take him along on his journey?"

"No, Sir Rimuru. He was still young at that time. Sir Gelmud said he would return in several years, once he was stronger, then he set off."

"Ohhh! Bet he'll be pretty surprised at how much everything's changed when he gets back!"

"I imagine so, yes. Now, though, we serve you, Sir Rimuru. We may not be able to follow Sir Gelmud to his honourable demon horde, but..."

"Gelmud, huh" I commented.

"What? Do you know who he is brother?"

"Yup, he considers himself a high-level majin and is a subordinate of Demon Lord Clayman."

"H-how did you know that Rizaka- Sama?" Rigur asked.

"A little secret."

Rigur understandingly nodded.

"A Demon Lord you say? This Clayman, is he powerful?"

"He is one of the newest generation Demon Lord and is considered the weakest because he is not a real Demon Lord. Just like the humans use the status or family name in the human kingdom. His title is only just in name."

"Then do you think I will be able to beat him?"

" In your current state, no, but if you acquire a Demon Lord Seed, you can defeat him."

"That's reassuring. I only need to acquire a Demon Lord Seed."

"Yeah, but of course, I can beat him into pulp pretty easily. Afterall, I can destroy a kingdom in one shot. Keh-heh-heh!" Diablo's iconic laugh is making me sound evil.

"Are you serious?"

"Yup"

Everyone was listening in awe. Well, who wouldn't be, after hearing that one of their master can one-shot a kingdom? I felt that I should flex some more of my power and so...

'Solomon, create a bag of marshmallows'

[Master, I am making the marshmallows, but you will have to be careful because creating things takes more Magicules. That's it. Creating marshmallows using Unique Skill Creation. Yes/No]

That was scary. And yeah, I will be more careful from next time. The answer is yes.

And just like that, a bag of marshmallows appeared in my hand. That took nearly 1% of my reserved Magicules. Its good that I have my reserved Magicules. Still I'll have to be more careful. When I pulled out the Marshmallows bag. Everyone was surprised, that how their Lord just created something out of thin air.

"Rizaku-Sama, what is that?" Gobta asked.

"These are called marshmallows. Here, have some. Use a stick and heat them up over the fire. It becomes quite tasty if you do that."

I gave everyone except Rimuru a marshmallow. They all did what I told them and ate it.

"Wow, so tasty."

"I have never ate something like this."

"It's so sweet."

"As expected of my Lord."

They all praised and were enjoying themselves. Well, good for them. I looked at Rimuru and saw that he was quite this whole time. It seems that he can barely hold on to my nonsense, so I used thought communication.

(Big bro)

(...)

No reply. Seems like he's jealous or...

(Umm, Big bro, you...ok?)

(How... THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT!!!)

(Hehe, you impressed? Jealous, perhaps?)

(Ugh, just tell me already how you did that)

(Rimuru, I think I told you about my Unique Skill Creation. Well, let's leave that. You see, I can basically create anything ranging from Skills to living beings. But they will just be an empty husk because I can't make souls, yet. And they use my Magicules. But when I'll be able to make souls then it won't be a problem.)

(You really took advantage of your wishes.)

(Yup.)

(Let's not hide anything from eachother. As you know, I have two unique skills called great sage and predator. Now what are yours.)

(Do you really want to know?)

(Yes!)

(Fine, just don't cry hearing it. As you already know about my three skills 1 Ultimate Skill & 2 Unique Skills, Right?)

(Mm)

(I also have 6 more Unique Skills plus 2 more with the Ultimate Skill: Solomon. And the 5 Unique Skills called Records: you already know that, Guardian: it's a barrier, Void: it's very powerful skill like chaos energy, Magicule Generator & Predator, but I still don't have any knowledge about this Chaos energy. Creation you also know that, Copycat: able to copy or steal skills limited upto unique skills.) I dropped a nuclear bomb on him. Seems like he's still processing. Hehe. It's fun.

(I don't know what to say?)

(Don't worry about anything, brother. I'll help you to get stronger. And you will be able to rival even me in the future. I'm sure.) I reassured him.

(Sure, whatever you say.)

Now that I remembered.

'Solomon'

[Yes, master.]

'Solomon, I'm just curious what is this Chaos energy. I don't think I know anything about this.' And haven't seen in the Anime.

[Master, Chaos energy isn't a specific named energy but a very powerful, destructive, forces arising from the fusion of conflict of Holy (Saint) and Demonic (Demon) attributes, creating a "Holy-Demonic" (Chaos) state or phenomenon, seen in beings like True Dragons or high-level entities, it is a subskill of Unique Skill 'Void' after the evolution of chaos energy the next energy it forms is 'Turn Null'. This energy is also capable of consuming or isolating reality itself, embodying defiance of natural laws. To use this energy to it's fullest I still need time to analyze it.]

'Ohh! Didn't knew this. How time the analysis will take?'

[Minimum time for the complete analysis will take atleast 2 years.]

'Hee, Can't wait to use this energy.' (A/N: Typical excited MC behaviour.)

We stayed up all night talking about our past life. While the rest were asleep. After hearing hearing my past life Rimuru just wanted to cry. *Sigh*

Right now, Gobta and me carrying my cute Big Brother Rimuru in my human form. We are infront of a giant gate and are waiting in line to enter Dwargon.

'I hope no stupid adventures come messing arou-'
