Who the hell dared to even try to assassinate me!?
First that spirit thing that was supposed to come for Chloe, and now this...
I will get to the bottom of this!
I barked orders, still trying to search for the assassin.
Diablo arrived, and I asked, "Can you sense the assassin?"
Diablo gritted his teeth in anger.
"Apolloyon-sama. I swear that I will find the assassin."
"Be careful. It holds an Ultimate Skill."
"It doesn't matter. I will present the assassin before you, Apolloyon-sama."
------------------
Before long, everyone in the vicinity was rounded up and brought to me.
Be it elves, majins, monsters, or humans.
If it is an assassin, it might even be able to disguise itself as a weak monster.
"Apolloyon-sama, this one is from the Church of Lubelius. But..."
Diablo gritted his teeth in anger at himself.
None of them seem to be the assassin. Even the orange haired woman who is from Church.
It seems that the assassin has fled. If even Diablo couldn't catch it, it really is a dangerous person.
He has even called for all the demons under him to search through the forest, yet there were no signs.
It won't be stupid enough to assassinate me if it couldn't when I wasn't paying attention and didn't have Diablo by my side.
Still, just to be safe, I activated Beelzebub to devour them all. What if it is just pretending to be amongst these weaklings?
[Unique Skill 'Sniper' acquired.]
As soon as I heard Nexis's report of acquiring a new Unique Skill, I heard the Voice of the World.
[[Necessary Soul nutrition for sprouting of Demon Lord Seed stockpiled.]]
Nexis! Quickly name all the Demons!
[Understood]
I left the naming of the demons that Diablo brought to Nexis as the Harvest Festival began.
[[Commecing Harvest Festival]]
[[When it's completed, all associated monsters will be granted gifts.]]
I need to evolve quickly and find the assassin before it manages to get away!
I hid into Diablo's shadow as I would become vulnerable during my evolution.
[[Harvest Festival Evolution has begun.]]
Suddenly, my Magic Sense stopped working, along with all my skills.
[[Bodily structure will be reassembled for Evolution into new species.]]
I started evolving, and thankfully, half awake throughout the process by trying really hard to not fall asleep.
Unconscious Resistance is also not working during evolution!
After a while, I heard Voice of the World again.
[[Super Evolution from Slime to Demon Slime successful.]]
[[All physical capabilities have been greatly improved.]]
[[Regaining of all skills and resistances by body... Successful.]]
Magic Sense returned, and I could see again. I became fully awake as well, and I didn't have to push through willpower alone.
[[Acquisition of new personal skills, "Infinite Regeneration", "Unlimited Detection", "Lord's Ambition", "Enhanced Replication", "Universal Thread", "Universal Photosynthesis", "Universal Magicule-synthesis", "Universal Fruit", "Universal Seed", "Universal Flower", "Universal Root", "Universal Poison", "Universal Paralyser", "Universal Body Armour", "Universal Plant Whisperer"... etc.... Successful.]]
[[Acquisition of new Resistances, "Natural Element Nullification", "Ailment Nullification", "Spiritual Attack Resistance", "Holy Attack Resistance", "Demonic Attack Resistance", "Unconsciousness Nullification"... Successful.]]
[[Evolution Process Complete]]
[Notice: Request from Unique Skill 'Nexis' to Voice of the World. Request to evolve.]
Nexis began communicating with the Voice of the World for evolution of my Unique Skills.
Meanwhile, I came out of Diablo's shadow and expanded my senses, trying to locate the assassin.
Sadly, I couldn't. It seems that it has already fled.
[[Received. Unique Skill 'Nexis' request processed.]]
[Unique Skill 'Nexis' attempting evolution...]
[Failed.]
[Unique Skill 'Nexis' offering remains of Unique Skill 'Great Sage' as sacrifice to gain Harvest Festival Gift in evolution attempt.]

Woah! That's similar to Ramiris's skill. Great job Nexis!
[Requesting evolution of Unique Skill 'Unlimited Imprisonment', offering 'Mini-World' as sacrifice.]
[[Successful. Unique Skill 'Unlimited Imprisonment' evolved into Ultimate Skill: 'Tartarus: Lord of Imprisonment'.]]
Now, onto Veldora...
[Using Tiamat: Lord of Degenesis to separate Veldora's soul from his spiritual body... Successful.]
[Isolating Veldora's spiritual body in separate prison with Tartarus: Lord of Imprisonment... Successful.]
[Veldora's magicules stored in Tartarus Prison can now be utilised freely.]
[Ultimate Skill: 'Veldora: Lord of Storm' acquired]
Didn't Veldora actually have a Unique Skill as well!? Tiamat!
[Using Tiamat: Lord of Degenesis to separate Veldora's skills from his soul...]
[Unique Skill: Investigator acquired]
[Unique Skill: Avenger acquired]
...Since when did Veldora have [Avenger]?
...
He is pissed, isn't he? He wants revenge on me? Did he think I killed Rimuru when I devoured him?
[Yes.]
...Yup. Not freeing him right now.
[Integrate Unique Skill 'Investigator' into me? It has been scanned for traps.]
I thought about Nexis's suggestion, and decided against it.
What if [Avenger] is sacrificed for [Investigator] to evolve instead? I think it will evolve into something that allows to retain intelligence even in anger?
I think Milim looses control when angry and using her Ultimate Skill. You know, that's why Guy and Ramiris had to calm her down? I think I read that in some spoiler. And it matches with Jahil's memories.
You are already good as is, so I should give Milim a return gift for everything she has done for me. Not only she named me, she also protected me from that thing from the future.
I feel like I have been just taking advantage of her.
[...Requesting evolution of Unique Skill 'Investigator', offering 'Avenger' as sacrifice.]
[[Successful. Unique Skill 'Investigator' evolved into Ultimate Skill: 'Hermes: Lord of Inquiry'.]]
[[Notice: The Harvest Festival process of the individual Squishy Nava...]]
[[Error: Another Name and Demon Lord Seed detected...]]
Oh? Voice of the World got confused? Because I have two names, and acquired a second Demon Lord Seed due to Devourer, which would usually be impossible?
So, what will it do?
[[Notice: The Harvest Festival process of the individual Squishy Nava is now complete. Now distributing Gifts to the monsters within Lineage.]]
It ignored the problem...
And the assassin has already run away. Even after becoming a True Demon Lord, I can't detect anything.
Sigh...
Well, at the very least, I have become a True Demon Lord.
