Chapter 29 - 18. Lord of Devouring

[Report: The individual Veldora Tempest is isolated in a separate subspace using Degenerate]

[Report: Unlimited Imprisonment is further reinforced by using Greater Time Elemental Spirit]

[Report: Unlimited Imprisonment is further reinforced by using Greater Space Elemental Spirit]

[Report: Unique Skill Great Sage is temporarily sealed]

The battle of eating was difficult, but in the end, I won.

By using the Greater Time Elemental Spirit, I acquired very huge boost on Thought Acceleration, which gave Nexis a lot of extra time compared to Great Sage.

The first thing I did upon consuming Rimuru was safely store Veldora in a subspace separated by the use of Degenerate, and seal Great Sage.

I mean, if my AI was fighting another AI, I wouldn't just assimilate the enemy AI into my own instantly.

That's common sense.

Afterall, what if it left a virus.

Anyway, [Degenerate] helped a lot. I used it to separate Rimuru's Unique Skills from him along with actively Devouring.

It worked, and I got a better understanding of Degenerate's full potential.

So Rimuru's soul isn't fully devoured yet, but his Unique Skills are taken away.

Anyway, let's finish Orc Disaster now.

[Unique Skill: Starved acquired]

[Extra Skill: Armour Fusion acquired]

[Extra Skill: Steel Strength acquired]

[Coercion acquired]

[Scale Armour acquired]

[Strength acquired]

[Electricity resistance acquired]

[Paralysis resistance acquired]

[Physical Attack resistance acquired]

[Demon Lord Seed acquired]

Alright. Next...

I flied up, looking over the battlefield. Don't consume Rimuru and his subordinates' souls, just store them.

[Understood.]

Now, Devourer Barrier!

A massive barrier encompassed the entire battlefield below me. And started Devouring everything.

[200 souls acquired]

[795 souls acquired]

[2,358 souls acquired]

[10,234 souls acquired]

[40,745 souls acquired]

[100,678 souls acquired]

[101,678 souls acquired]

[Unique Skill: Engorger acquired]

[Unique Skill: Optimist acquired]

[Unique Skill: Merciless acquired]

[Report: Not enough souls for awakening]

Really? Even though I devoured everything in the battlefield? Even magicules? I call it bullshit!

And from whom did I get these two Unique Skills aside from Merciless?

[Report: Engorger is acquired from the individual Footman. Optimist is acquired from the individual Tear.]

Oh. Two of Yuuki goons? I guess they got caught up in it huh.

Lucky me.

Anyway, will consuming Rimuru's soul as well awaken me?

[Report: The probability is low.]

[Notice: Forced Awakening like Clayman is a possibility, but it isn't advisable. The power obtained will not be comparable to normal awakening.]

But I have two Demon Lord Seeds now, don't I? What if I forcibly awaken right now and fully awaken the other seed?

[Report: This is unverified hypothesis. Risk is not advised.]

Sigh...

100K is still not enough? Even though a monsters soul isn't worth as much as a human, shouldn't 1:10 ratio be good enough for comparison of the souls between Humans and Monsters?

Is it because the Orcs are controlled, so they don't have much soul energy?

[Report: ...Undoing the effects of Starved on Orcs... Allowing them to be conscious...]

[Notice: The quality of soul energy has improved and is steadily improving.]

[Report: It is expected that the soul of a single person possessing a Unique Skill will be enough to fullfil the conditions for awakening.]

I see. I see.

So Rimuru—

[Report: Individual Rimuru Tempest no longer possesses a Unique Skill.]

Oh.

Then I guess there is no need to kill him huh?

Well, I guess it will be interesting to keep him around.

[Using Degenerate to separate Unique Skill Great Sage...]

[Extra Skill Sage acquired]

[Analysing remains of Great Sage for later Integration.]

[Estimated time for full scan for risks: 5 days.]

Take your time on this, Nexis. Double, triple check. We can't take risks on it.

[Using Degenerate to fuse Unique Skills Devourer, Starved and sacrificing Merciless]

[Ultimate Skill Agastya: Lord of Devouring acquired]

Nice.

So I don't really have the use of [Predator] huh?

Alright. Let's play nice for now.

Moreover, now that I think about it, if I killed Rimuru here, Dryads probably won't announce me as the chancellor of the Great Jura Forest. They will think I am cruel or something.

But, I am not returning my Magicules battery, Veldora.

And, if I evolve my Degenerate into Ultimate Skill, I might be able to separate Veldora's ego and soul from his vast magicules.

Hehehehehe!

Alright! It's decided!
