Seeing the surroundings frozen in time, Chronoa couldn't help but feel surprised.
Chronoa was once the First Saint of the Western Holy Church, and after countless reincarnations, her knowledge was definitely second to none.
She had thought that her time travel was the only time-based ability, but she hadn't expected Rimuru to be able to freeze time so casually.
At this moment, Chronoa couldn't help but recall the Archdemon Dino, known as the Primordial of White.
He could summon a "virtual space" without the concept of time. Now it seems, Rimuru's technique is even superior to that virtual space!
Chronoa was incredibly curious and wanted to know what Rimuru had done in the timeline where he disappeared.
His strength had already reached such an unfathomable realm!
However, Chronoa's curiosity had nothing to do with what Rimuru had done.
The glowing green light of the Time Stone swirled in her hand, and the next second, time around the Demon Country Federation returned to normal.
The moment time resumed, everyone was momentarily dazed, then immediately began a new round of intense fighting.
However, at this moment, everyone suddenly felt trapped by an invisible wall of air, unable to move at all, no matter how hard they tried.
Even more terrifying, the ground beneath their feet suddenly came alive, as if the entire continent was stretching outwards.
The two sides, who had just been fighting, were passively pulled away from each other as the ground expanded.
The Demon Country Federation was fine; they had all witnessed Rimuru's magic of flipping the earth.
But the Saints of the Holy Church were all dumbfounded.
To casually imprison them all, how could they even fight anymore!
So, Demon Lord Rimuru was this strong?
However, at this moment, the Saints of the Holy Church all had bulging eyes, staring in disbelief at Luminas, who stood obediently behind Rimuru.
If they could, they really wanted to rub their eyes.
That person wearing the Gothic black luxurious gown was My Lord Luminas, right?!
How could she be standing behind Demon Lord Rimuru, looking so incredibly docile?
At this moment, they only had one thought: My Lord, why have you rebelled?!
Also, who was that woman standing next to My Lord Luminas?
Why was My Lord so intimate with her?
What on earth was going on here?
However, at this moment, everyone was surprised to find that with a wave of Demon Lord Rimuru's small hand, White and Sakaguchi Hinata, who were lying on the ground, both floated towards him.
After a reddish-brown light flashed, all of Hinata's wounds disappeared, and even her clothes became clean and new again.
Accompanied by a series of heartbeats, Hinata's eyes, which had been closed for who knows how long, slowly opened.
Resurrecting the dead???
And resurrecting Hinata???
Others didn't know the inside story, but they did.
The First Saint Sakaguchi Hinata's body was very special, possessing an unimaginable resistance to magic.
Normally, this would definitely be an advantage, as it could effectively resist enemy attacks.
But every coin has two sides!
Hinata's body's super strong magic resistance also allowed Hinata to automatically decompose Recovery Potion and any other magic potions or spells related to magicules.
Except for holy-type spells that contained no magicules, Hinata's body instinctively repelled any other spells.
In other words, resurrecting Hinata was at least ten times more difficult than resurrecting an ordinary person!
Who exactly was Demon Lord Rimuru?
And at this moment, their jaws dropped again.
They saw the Moonlight Rapier, which had been broken into several pieces on the ground, reassemble piece by piece in reverse, becoming a perfectly intact divine sword again in just a few breaths.
This, this, this, this...
Several Saints were dry-mouthed, unable to describe the shock in their hearts with words.
To resurrect the dead and reforge a broken sword with a flick of his hand—Rimuru, he must be the true god!
Aside from the authority of a true god, they could not comprehend how all of this could be achieved so easily.
Not to mention those "ignorant" Saints, even the demons who had personally witnessed Rimuru's methods had their worldviews refreshed once again.
It was too groundbreaking!
Is Rimuru-sama truly omniscient and omnipotent?
Seeing the wounds on White's body disappear and his closed eyes open again, the high-ranking members of the Demon Country Federation were all overjoyed.
White is fine, that's great, truly great!
As for White and Hinata, who had come back to life, they were now completely stunned.
Especially White, who was filled with emotion at this moment.
As a sword ghost, White had always tried to fathom Rimuru's realm, but every time he felt he could slightly touch the level Rimuru was on, he would discover that his distance from Rimuru had grown even further.
A mountain so high, one can only look up to it!
As for Luminas, she was also surprised by Rimuru's methods once again.
She knew that the Ultimate Skill she wielded could control life and death, but even she was completely outmatched by Rimuru.
"Rimuru, have you already reached the level of the Creator god, the Star King Dragon?"
Not many knew of the Star King Dragon's existence, but Luminas happened to be one of them.
And the Star King Dragon's realm was the ultimate realm that only Awakened Demon Lords were qualified to look up to.
Had Rimuru already reached it without making a sound?
A Creator god, this was simply too exaggerated!
And all of this was just the beginning.
With a casual wave of Rimuru's hand, the ground that had been destroyed by the great battle was completely restored.
Even the trees that had been cut into several pieces and burned to ashes reappeared.
Everyone could even see with their own eyes the leaves that had been burned by the fire appearing and growing on the trees at a visible speed!
To turn clouds with a flip of the hand, and rain with another—facing Rimuru, who possessed such abilities, even if the Ten Great Sages were out of their minds, they wouldn't dare lightly speak of subjugation!
At this moment, Gelda of the Azure knew just how much she had courted death.
"The war ends here!"
Silence fell over the surroundings as Rimuru's words landed.
But by this point, even if they were given the courage of a god, they wouldn't dare to refute!
Myulan, who had witnessed all of this, finally snapped out of her dream-like state.
No wonder Rimuru-sama hadn't made a move; once he did, no one else could make a move!
Rimuru looked at the obedient crowd around him and spoke again, "The founding principle of the Demon Country Federation is the coexistence of humans and demons. The Holy Church's doctrine is too extreme; change it!"
Huh?
The several great Saints exchanged glances.
Change the core doctrine?
This was tantamount to directly denying the Holy Church's sanctity from its very source!
But facing the superhuman Rimuru, how could they dare to object?
Everyone looked towards My Lord Luminas.
Luminas shrugged her dainty nose and said indifferently, "Since Rimuru-sama says to change it, then change it. As for the doctrine, you yourselves figure out how to make it work; I don't care!"
Sakaguchi Hinata: " "
Sarre: " "
As for the demons of the Demon Country Federation, their eyes all lit up.
As expected of Rimuru-sama, his way of doing things is simply overbearing and boundless!
Rimuru: "After this great battle, perhaps everyone has understood the preciousness of life. The 'rimuru code' enacted in the Demon Country Federation applies to both humans and demons. As long as you don't break the law, no one will trouble you!"
Upon hearing Rimuru's words, all the demons and humans' eyes lit up.
As for Sakaguchi Hinata, she had now completely changed her view of Rimuru.
Not only because of Rimuru's power, but also because Rimuru offered a third option for human-demon coexistence.
"From now on, in the Demon Country Federation, please enjoy yourselves!"
"That is all."
Upon hearing Rimuru's words, a tsunami-like cheer immediately erupted from below.
Half a day later.
Miss Shizue, who had rushed over, dusty and tired from the journey, was completely bewildered!
What on earth was going on?
The Demon Country Federation was completely different from the life-and-death battlefield she had imagined; it was peaceful here, and the Ten Great Sages were even drinking and dancing around a bonfire with the demons.
Shizue instinctively rubbed her eyes, and after confirming it wasn't an illusion, a relaxed smile immediately appeared on her face.
As expected of Rimuru, truly amazing!
And at this moment, Miss Shizue's body completely stiffened; she could hardly believe her eyes.
Was it really her?
She wasn't dreaming, was she!
