"Is it over?"
"Yeah, looks like it's over."
"It must have been that the space was distorted, and it happened to connect to some other world, and then it teleported it over there."
Limuru, Lu Minghao, and Milim raised their heads, looking at the black, twisted sun disappearing in the sky, each saying a sentence. After confirming that there were really no more problems, the three of them simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief. As for where the black, twisted sun was teleported to, they didn't care; as long as it didn't threaten them, that was enough.
"Um, Minghao, I'm sorry!"
At this moment, Milim turned her head, looking at Lu Minghao, who was weak and feeble in Sally's arms, and sincerely apologized. Earlier, under the effect of [Wrathful King], she had almost completely lost her reason, her heart utterly dominated by an endless desire for battle, and she had almost killed Lu Minghao, her close friend.
Actually, at the beginning of the fight between Milim and Lu Minghao, she had only been thinking of having a good fight with Lu Minghao, with absolutely no intention of hurting him. However, later on, because Lu Minghao's strength far exceeded her expectations, coupled with the battle lust that had been released after not fighting to her heart's content for a long time and a little catalyst from the effect of [Wrathful King], Milim was directly and completely excited.
"It's okay, I'm still alive, aren't I?"
Looking at Milim, who was sincerely apologizing in front of him, Lu Minghao stretched out a small hand from his round body and waved it, indicating that he didn't mind. But in reality, Lu Minghao's heart, which had been somewhat relaxed after awakening as a True Demon Lord, became tense again at this moment.
Although after fighting Milim, he had confirmed that his strength could be considered the strongest existence in this world besides Milim and the others, it was still not strong enough. This battle had almost resulted in him being killed by Milim, and it was only for one reason: his strength was not yet great enough.
As long as he became stronger, then this kind of thing would never happen again!
'Looks like I need to go to the next world as soon as possible.'
Thinking of this, Lu Minghao raised his head and looked in a certain direction of the Jura Forest. There, the Storm Great Demon Disaster was slowly awakening, and even Lu Minghao could faintly sense the powerful magic essence aura. After devouring it, Lu Minghao would directly go to the next world.
Taking advantage of the last peaceful period in this world, he would strengthen himself as quickly as possible, accumulating enough power and experience for devouring other plane worlds in the future.
"Minghao, as an apology, how about I help you become a Demon Lord?"
Beside them, Milim breathed a deep sigh of relief after hearing Lu Minghao forgive her. However, the guilt of almost killing her close friend still made Milim want to do something for Lu Minghao. At this time, she thought of what she considered the best thing, which was to make Lu Minghao a Demon Lord like herself.
"Demon Lord? What's the use of that thing?"
Lu Minghao said, his body gently moving as he jumped out of Sally's arms. In mid-air, with the wriggling of his body, he transformed back into his human form, his handsome face full of boredom as he looked at Milim. As for becoming a Demon Lord, Lu Minghao really didn't care, and even found it a bit annoying.
Because once he became one of the Ten Great Demon Lords, then the strong people and major forces of the entire world would turn their attention to him, this new Demon Lord recommended by the Ancient Demon Lord Milim, which completely did not fit Lu Minghao's plan to do things quietly.
"Hey! That's a Demon Lord, very cool, it will make all humans and monsters yearn and fear!"
On the opposite side, Milim, after hearing Lu Minghao refuse to become a Demon Lord, looked at Lu Minghao with surprise in her cute little face and light blue eyes. You must know that in Milim's view, Demon Lord was a cool and frightening title, which was a great thing, but Lu Minghao actually refused.
"Milim, is it because you have the title of Demon Lord that you are a Demon Lord?"
Looking at Milim, who was approaching with a surprised face, Lu Minghao smiled gently and touched her cowlick, asking. In Lu Minghao's view, the so-called Demon Lords were not Demon Lords because they had the title of Demon Lord, but because they had the strength to become Demon Lords, that's what made them Demon Lords.
The real Demon Lord is because of their strength, which is so powerful that it makes everyone despair, and their character of destroying everything without any scruples, not just a mere title of Demon Lord.
"But, Minghao, becoming a Demon Lord is a great thing. Not only will strong people come to challenge you, but you can also make demon people and other life forms fear you."
Milim widened her eyes and stared at Lu Minghao, her mind constantly recalling the benefits of becoming a Demon Lord. Since she became the Ancient Demon Lord, possessing the title of Destroyer Tyrant, wherever she went, everyone would look at her with a face full of fear, which was a very interesting thing.
"I don't care about those things. Besides, real strong people don't need the approval of a group of weaklings. For real strong people, the opinions of the weak are completely unworthy of attention."
Lu Minghao said to Milim in front of him with a look of indifference. Weak beings gather together to survive, because doing so can improve their survival rate. Even among weak humans, there is a feeling that the more people they have, the stronger they are.
It is precisely because of this feeling that there are large and small forces and kingdoms among humans. Similarly, weak monsters also gather in groups between races, and they also say things like the more capable you are, the greater your responsibility.
Forcibly instilling this kind of weakling thinking on the strong, but in reality, it is just a way for the weak to protect their own safety and prevent being killed by the strong.
Lu Minghao finds this kind of ridiculous thinking of the weak completely laughable. The strong should live according to their own thoughts and interests. As for the weak, they only have two choices in front of the strong: either submit or die.
"But, Minghao, wouldn't it be very boring to do this?"
Hearing Lu Minghao's words, Milim looked at Lu Minghao with a curious face and asked. For Milim, the only two pleasures of becoming a Demon Lord are that strong people automatically come to her door to be beaten by her and that she can make the weak fear her. Now that Lu Minghao doesn't care about both of these things, wouldn't it be boring?
"Of course it won't be boring. And Milim, don't you think the title of Demon Lord is very boring?"
Lu Minghao looked at Milim and shook his head gently. He had never felt bored. Whether it was the idea of obtaining the key to go to other plane worlds and devouring them all to become stronger, or researching his own talent and devouring nutrients to become stronger, all filled Lu Minghao with interest.
".......!"
At this moment, Milim opposite Lu Minghao was completely stunned. At this moment, she finally discovered something: in her heart, she also thought that being a Demon Lord was a very boring thing. After all, those so-called strong people who came to challenge her were actually so weak in her eyes that they couldn't even make her hands numb.
As for making the weak fear her, it seemed to have been like this since she was a child, before she became a Demon Lord. Salome, the maid who raised her, was killed because people were afraid of her. Afterwards, everyone in that country was killed by Milim, who had fallen into madness. It was also in that incident that Milim became a Demon Lord, possessing the title of Destroyer Tyrant.
"Wait! Minghao, you're doing something even more interesting than becoming a Demon Lord, aren't you! That's so unfair, unfair, unfair! I'm angry!"
The next second, Milim, having finally realized what was happening, suddenly jumped up and grabbed Lu Minghao's arm, shaking it playfully as she shouted. They were supposed to be best friends, but Lu Minghao was doing something fun without her! How unfair!
"Tell me, and then let me join in as a companion! We're best friends!"
Milim raised her head, her small face staring at Lu Minghao, her light blue eyes full of anticipation. She also wanted to participate in whatever Lu Minghao was doing, to make her boring life more interesting.
"Become my companion, huh… Alright, but Milim, are you sure you won't regret it?"
Lu Minghao looked at Milim, who was holding his arm and acting spoiled, a faint smile on his lips as he asked. The world created by the Primordial God, Star Dragon King, being destroyed by his daughter seemed like a very interesting thing.
Maybe he could even complete an achievement of great filial impiety.
"Mhm, mhm, I promise!"
After hearing that there was hope, Milim nodded her head repeatedly. Anyway, she didn't care what Lu Minghao wanted to do. Even if Lu Minghao wanted to invade other kingdoms and establish his own kingdom, Milim wouldn't care in the slightest.
Compared to the passing of other unrelated lives, Milim cared more about making her boring life more interesting. After all, it could be seen from Milim's participation in Clayman's plan to create a new Demon Lord that beneath her loli appearance and innocent demeanor, she was actually a true Demon Lord: tyrannical, wanton, and indifferent to the passing of life.
Of course, all of this was on the premise of not touching the existences that Milim cared about.
"Then, after I come back, I'll tell Milim what I'm doing, but at that time, Milim, you'll no longer have the chance to back out."
Looking at Milim, who had already agreed, Lu Minghao's lips slightly parted. When he had enough strength to devour other plane worlds and enough strength to withstand the ceiling-level experts of this world to return to the Slime world, Lu Minghao would tell Milim part of his plan.
Of course, Lu Minghao would choose to hide his thoughts about wanting to devour those worlds, only telling Milim a slightly modified version of his plan, that he wanted to bring this world under his rule. As for when Lu Minghao devoured the plane worlds later, Lu Minghao, who was already prepared, would not be someone Milim could stop.
"Mhm, mhm, but Minghao, where are you going? Is it far? Can I go with you?"
After hearing Lu Minghao let her join, Milim's face showed a satisfied smile, then she looked at Lu Minghao and continued to ask. After all, she vaguely heard from Lu Minghao's tone that he seemed to be going to a very far place.
"Yeah, a very, very far place. If it weren't for my 'talent,' it would be impossible for me to go there. As for when I'll be back, I don't know either, but I'll definitely come back."
Lu Minghao raised his head, looking at the space in the sky that was slowly being repaired, his eyes seeming to see into an unknown place. As for where he was going, how long he would be gone, and when he would return, Lu Minghao himself didn't know. After all, due to the distance between worlds and the different flow of time between the two worlds, Lu Minghao had no way of knowing.
"Mhm, I see! So, I've decided that I'm going to live here too!"
The next second, after hearing that Lu Minghao would still come back, Milim nodded, saying that she also wanted to live here. Anyway, time was something completely worthless to her. She could just take this time while waiting for Lu Minghao to enjoy the delicious food she had never eaten before.
"Uh! Milim, you want to live here?"
Rimuru, who had been silent on the side, suddenly heard that Milim wanted to live in his city, and quickly turned his head to confirm with Milim again. You must know that in Rimuru's eyes, Milim's existence itself was a trouble, whether it was her personality of acting at the slightest disagreement or her strength that could easily destroy everything…
If he really let Milim live here, Rimuru could already imagine his central city of Rimuru turning into ruins.
"Wahahaha! Don't worry, since you, Rimuru, are Minghao's best friend, then that means you're my, Milim's, friend. As a friend, I definitely won't hit you!"
Looking at Rimuru's hesitant and worried expression, how could Milim not understand what he meant? She quickly patted her chest to assure him that she wouldn't mess around. Moreover, Milim actually had a good impression of Rimuru. His strength was also good, and he was a slime like Lu Minghao, so he might become even stronger in the future.
He was a good battle opponent. In addition, there was a lot of delicious food in the city under his command, so Milim didn't want to destroy this place.
"Milim, you can live here, but there are conditions. That is, you can't attack the monsters under my command, but the premise is that they don't anger you. Also, you can't cause destruction at will."
Seeing that Milim was determined to live here, and Lu Minghao on the side had also changed into a slime form and jumped onto Sally's head, looking like a melon-eating crowd, Rimuru could only reluctantly agree to this matter and put forward conditions to Milim.
In fact, in Rimuru's heart, although he felt troubled about Milim living here, as long as Milim promised not to easily hurt other monsters, then Rimuru was not unwilling to accept it. After all, with Milim's existence, their Jura Tempest Federation would be much safer.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt the monsters under your command, Rimuru, of course, on the premise that they don't anger me."
Hearing Rimuru's conditions, Milim agreed without thinking at all. After all, Rimuru's conditions were not harsh at all, only asking her not to destroy or hurt other monsters at will, and that was on the premise that they didn't anger her.
"Then, I agree to this matter."
Boom!
Just as Rimuru agreed to Milim living here, suddenly, a burst of explosions came from the central city of Rimuru in the distance. Everyone quickly looked towards that side, especially Rimuru, who disappeared in place the moment he heard the explosion. Hongmaru and the others followed closely behind and rushed towards the city.
"What happened?"
"Guests have arrived."
Faced with Milim's question, a strange light flashed in Lu Minghao's eyes as he looked towards the town. He didn't expect the people from the Beast Kingdom to arrive a day earlier than in the original story, so that meant the Storm Dragon Veldora was about to be resurrected.
Thinking of this, Lu Minghao licked his lips. He didn't know what the spiritual life form tasted like or how nutritious it was.
