Above ten thousand meters in the sky, dark clouds slowly swirled, and endless 'evil' condensed into substantial black energy, continuously gathering from all over the world. Even in the center of the vortex, a viscous, pitch-black liquid was slowly wriggling. Just seeing the black mud, anyone would understand that it was 'evil,' the purest 'evil'.
At the edge of the black mud, Milim's originally carefree smiling face was now filled with solemnity. Even she didn't want to easily approach the black mud condensed from endless evil. Just floating on the edge, Milim felt endless malice rising in her heart, frantically eroding her sanity.
"Milim, this is my ultimate skill [Lord of Evil]. What do you think?"
In the center of the vortex, amidst the endless black mud, Lu Minghao looked at Milim opposite him with a gentle expression. His smile, like warm sunshine, formed a stark contrast with the churning black mud beneath Lu Minghao's feet.
Just now, when Milim forcibly shattered Lu Minghao's magic cannon and charged directly at him, Lu Minghao understood in that instant that if he didn't go all out, he would fall under Milim's [Stardust Dragon Break].
Therefore, at the moment Milim was about to reach Lu Minghao, he unhesitatingly used one of his two ultimate skills, [Lord of Evil], directly manifesting the Abyss of Evil within his body, frantically devouring all the evil in the world.
"Minghao, as expected, you are so strong!"
Opposite him, Milim raised her head, a sweet smile appearing on her face as she looked at Lu Minghao. Light blue eyes constantly displayed Lu Minghao's data at this moment, and a portion of the abilities of [Lord of Evil] were slowly being analyzed by Milim's Dragon Eyes.
And it was this portion of the abilities that had been analyzed that allowed Milim to clearly perceive Lu Minghao's strength. But...
"Minghao, I am even stronger than you!"
A wanton smile appeared on Milim's face. Instantly, the originally slowly rotating clouds suddenly froze, followed by dazzling light shining from Milim's body. Truly infinite magic essence涌出 from Milim's body. In just an instant, the clouds in the sky were shattered, and golden sunlight shone on Milim's body through the broken clouds.
"Of course, I know that!"
Opposite her, Lu Minghao watched as the vortex clouds, which had expanded to a hundred thousand meters, were instantly shattered by Milim. His handsome face still maintained that warm smile. Lu Minghao had clearly experienced Milim's strength in the battle.
Honestly, facing Milim, who was truly displaying her full strength, Lu Minghao had to admit that he was weaker than her now. If Milim was the ceiling of this world, then Lu Minghao at this moment was one of the strongest beneath the ceiling.
Even though Lu Minghao had only used one ultimate skill, and his strongest talent, [Gluttony Sin], had not been used to prevent it from being discovered by Milim, Rimuru, and the powerful beings watching here.
Even if Lu Minghao used his other ultimate skill and the [Gluttony Sin] talent at this moment, Lu Minghao clearly understood that he would not be Milim's match. Compared to Milim, who possessed infinite magic essence, Lu Minghao, who had just awakened as a True Demon Lord, was far weaker than a Demon Lord like Milim, who had existed for a long time and experienced countless battles, whether in combat awareness, magic essence, or anything else.
However, Lu Minghao didn't feel any loss about this. On the contrary, Lu Minghao's heart was full of excitement and excitement. You must know that it had only been a little over a year since he was reincarnated into this world, but now he had become one of the strongest beneath the ceiling like Milim. With such strength in just one year, what was there for Lu Minghao to be dissatisfied with?
'As expected, compared to a cheater like Rimuru, I am the real genius. All achievements are based on my own 'talent'.'
Above the Abyss of Evil formed by black mud, Lu Minghao lowered his head and looked at Rimuru, who was looking up at him, and said in his heart. Lu Minghao was full of pride in the fact that he had become stronger by relying on his own 'talent'.
"Hey! Minghao, don't be distracted when fighting me, or I can't guarantee I won't kill you with one punch!"
Just then, the black mud around Lu Minghao's body suddenly exploded, and Milim's petite and domineering figure rushed in, directly punching Lu Minghao in the face. Instantly, accompanied by a huge shock wave, Lu Minghao's body exploded and flew out with a sonic boom.
"Hmph!"
Watching Lu Minghao fly away, Milim raised her small head slightly and snorted. Her terrifying battle instinct had allowed Milim to seize the flaw in Lu Minghao's distraction in seconds, and in this little time, she completed the operation of breaking through the black mud and blasting Lu Minghao away.
Pa!
Just as Milim put her hands on her hips and relaxed, a sticky thing like a black humanoid slime suddenly bulged beside her, reaching out and grabbing her tightly in Milim's surprised eyes.
Immediately afterwards, the entire Abyss of Evil fell into a frenzy. Endless black mud, like covering the sky and the earth, tightly wrapped Milim's body, and instantly imprisoned it to a hardness that surpassed top-grade magic ore by several times. Countless black mud on Milim's body instinctively drilled towards Milim, but whenever black mud wanted to invade Milim's body, it would be directly destroyed by her tyrannical magic essence.
"Milim, I wasn't distracted at all. Besides, battles aren't just head-on fights."
In the surging black mud, Lu Minghao's body slowly emerged, a hint of a smile on his lips as he looked at Milim trapped in the black mud. The one who was blasted away just now was indeed Lu Minghao's main body, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to hide it from Milim's Dragon Eyes. However, at the moment he was blasted away, Lu Minghao split off a clone, while the main body secretly hid the spatial fluctuations through the Abyss of Evil, teleported back, and successfully trapped Milim.
"Hmph! I... of course I know this kind of thing!"
In the black mud, Milim glared at Lu Minghao, her cheeks puffed out. She had never expected that Lu Minghao would use this method to trap her. She admitted that when she blasted Lu Minghao away just now, because she was sure that the one who was blasted away was Lu Minghao's main body, she was careless.
However, how could Milim, who had a little tsundere and a strong desire to win, admit this kind of thing? She could only pout her little mouth and turn her head to the side, muttering that she knew this kind of thing.
"Is that so?"
Lu Minghao walked up to Milim, touched the ahoge on her head, and teased her. However, the hand that touched Milim's ahoge always had an impulse to pull this ahoge off. However, because Lu Minghao was now fully mobilizing the Abyss of Evil to suppress Milim, the remaining power was completely insufficient to do this kind of thing. Otherwise, plucking the ahoge of the daughter of the Destruction Tyrant, the Star Dragon King of Genesis, would be quite valuable for collection.
"That's of course! I am the oldest Demon Lord, the Destruction Tyrant Milim!"
As soon as the voice fell, the entire Abyss of Evil began to tremble wildly, and even the space around Milim's body began to appear with dense cracks. In the next second, Milim directly forcibly broke free from Lu Minghao's restraint and punched Lu Minghao.
Because the Abyss of Evil was forcibly broken free by Milim, Lu Minghao's body couldn't help but stiffen for a moment. For ordinary people, this was only a time that could not be detected at all, but it was already completely enough for Milim to swing a blow.
Boom!
Instantly, when Milim's fist hit Lu Minghao's body, Lu Minghao's body directly exploded, and countless ice-blue jelly-like liquids scattered and flew. Under the splashing ice-blue liquid, countless solid black mud became viscous again and instantly devoured all the ice-blue liquid.
“Ming Hao, let me show you my strongest ability. Try not to die!”
Milim looked at Lu Minghao, who had been swallowed by the black mud, a serious expression appearing on her small face. She suddenly placed her hands in front of her chest, and destructive energy began to gather frantically in the center of her palms. Specks of starlight began to light up, and finally, a ball of crimson energy enveloped all the starlight within it.
“Hey, hey! Milim, you’re not really planning to kill me, are you?”
Across from her, Lu Minghao, who had been caught off guard and blasted into a round slime, saw the thing in Milim’s hand. The terrifying energy and aura even made Lu Minghao feel a sense of fear. Since being reincarnated into this world, this was the second time he had felt the sensation of death, the first being when he was chased by the Eastern Empire’s test subjects in the sewers.
“Dragon Star Exploding Flame Destroyer!”
Across from him, Milim, as if she hadn’t heard Lu Minghao’s voice, looked at Lu Minghao with a maniacal and unrestrained smile on her face. The [Dragon Star Exploding Flame Destroyer] in the center of her palms was swung towards Lu Minghao. At this moment, under the effect of her ultimate skill [Wrathful King], Milim hadn’t completely lost her reason, but her heart was already completely dominated by the fervor of battle.
Boom!
In an instant, the entire dark sky was illuminated. A huge magic beam with a diameter of several kilometers directly swept away everything, and even Lu Minghao’s Evil Abyss was instantly evaporated by Milim’s attack.
At this moment, all the magic essence within Lu Minghao’s round body was squeezed out. The substantial magic essence caused the surrounding space to begin to distort slightly. Wrath, greed, gluttony, lust, envy, pride, and sloth all appeared, instantly merging into a force of all-out power under the power of Lu Minghao’s ultimate skill [Sin King].
“[Sin King]!”
In a nearly insane roar, Lu Minghao focused this power in front of him and collided with Milim’s [Dragon Star Exploding Flame Destroyer]. In an instant, the entire space was easily torn apart like a rag. Then, the entire world seemed to fall into a standstill. Lu Minghao’s power and Milim’s power produced a strange reaction upon impact.
Buzz!
The next second, a buzzing sound came from the frozen world. Then, Lu Minghao’s body, which had completely exhausted its magic essence, was directly blasted away. At the same time, Milim, who had regained her composure after releasing her skill, also noticed something was wrong and hurriedly flapped her dragon wings and flew away.
However, the next second, Milim seemed to remember something and quickly turned her head to look behind her. She saw a black sun with a constantly distorted surface rapidly expanding at the center of the collision of the two powers, and Lu Minghao’s body was flying away not far from this sun.
But compared to the expansion speed of the distorted black sun, Lu Minghao’s flying speed was not enough at all. At most, he would be caught up in half a second, and by that time, Lu Minghao would have completely exhausted his magic essence and fallen into a state of weakness, and would most likely die here.
This series of events seemed to have taken a lot of time, but in reality, only a short seconds had passed. After judging Lu Minghao’s current situation, Milim suddenly flapped her dragon wings and turned towards Lu Minghao, grabbing him into her arms just as the distorted black sun was about to approach him, completely moving away from here.
After Lu Minghao and Milim flew far enough away, the black sun, which had already expanded to ten thousand meters, finally stopped growing. However, this thing looked even more threatening than before. The black, distorted liquid on the surface of the sun was constantly twisting, while the center of the sun was the ultimate blackness.
“Ming Hao, did we mess up?”
Milim lowered her head and looked at Lu Minghao, who was tightly hugging her in her arms. Her light blue eyes blinked as she looked at Lu Minghao. After all, even Milim felt that thing on the opposite side was tricky.
“..... Milim, now is not the time to worry about this. We have to run away quickly! As long as we run fast enough, who will know we did it? Even if they know, we’ll beat to death anyone who dares to say it. Anyway, run quickly!”
In Milim’s arms, Lu Minghao, in his slime form, weakly raised his head and complained to Milim. This guy still had the mood to care about this now. At this moment, Lu Minghao just wanted to get as far away from that thing as possible. He, who had completely exhausted his power, had no hobby of courting death.
“Oh, oh! Ming Hao, you’re right. As long as we run away quickly, no one will know we did it.”
After hearing Lu Minghao’s words, Milim quickly nodded her little head, flapping her dragon wings and turning into a stream of light, flying downwards. In less than a second, she crossed tens of thousands of meters and appeared next to Rimuru and Shali.
“Ming Hao!”
Shali noticed the weak Lu Minghao in Milim’s arms at the first moment. Her purple eyes instantly turned empty and dead, and the furious aura drowned the surroundings like a tide. She directly snatched Lu Minghao from Milim’s arms, raised her head, and stared at Milim intently.
This was the first time Shali had seen Lu Minghao so weak, and in Shali’s eyes, all of this was caused by Milim in front of her. If Lu Minghao hadn’t been in Milim’s arms just now, Shali would have attacked at the first moment.
“Wait, Shali, I’m fine. I’m just exhausted of magic essence.”
Lu Minghao, who was most familiar with Shali, understood what she wanted to do the moment he felt Shali’s aura, and quickly spoke out to stop her. After all, even Milim, who had just fought a battle with him, was not Shali’s opponent, and she would even be instantly killed if she faced Milim who was serious.
“........”
After hearing Lu Minghao’s words, Shali’s aura gradually became calm, but the vigilance on her face did not weaken in the slightest. Even Rimuru was in Shali’s vigilance at this time, because Lu Minghao was too weak at this time. Although he could still easily kill high-ranking monsters, he might be threatened when facing demon lord seeds.
Therefore, Shali had to eliminate all possibilities that could harm Lu Minghao.
“Ming Hao, Milim, what exactly is that thing above?”
At this time, Rimuru raised his hand and pointed to the black, distorted sun in the sky, looking at Lu Minghao and Milim with a helpless expression. Once that thing fell, he, the leader of the Jura Forest Alliance, would become a bachelor.
Because after the explosion, the entire Jura Forest would most likely have completely disappeared from the map.
“Don’t know!”
“It’s none of our business, we didn’t do it!”
Facing Rimuru’s inquiry, Lu Minghao and Milim looked at each other and said in unison that they didn’t know and that thing above wasn’t their doing. After hearing the two’s words, Rimuru was directly laughed at by their guilty look, saying that it wasn’t their doing.
The next second, just as Rimuru wanted to say something, a terrifying sense of palpitation suddenly came from above. Everyone subconsciously looked up, only to see that the originally stable black sun suddenly began to become violent, and the distorted surface was constantly churning.
Crack!
As the black, distorted sun began to rage, the space in the sky visible to the naked eye began to distort with it as the center, eventually forming a black hole-like existence. Finally, in everyone’s stunned eyes, the black sun was completely swallowed by the space-distorting black hole, seemingly being teleported to another place.
