=========================================

(Rimuru's POV)

It had been several days since my return from the Kingdom of Ingrassia, and everything in our town seemed to be running smoothly. The children who came to our country appeared to enjoy their time here, often spending it with Shizu. They engaged in a variety of activities, from playing games to receiving training from Shizue.

[Somewhere In Falmuth]

(3rd person POV)

The King of Falmuth summoned all his key advisors due to a pressing issue affecting his kingdom. Their economy was in dire straits, primarily because a vital merchant had not returned. The situation was becoming increasingly complex, and they needed a solution.

King Edmaris addressed his executives: "Today, I have gathered you all to discuss the state of our kingdom."

Folgen, the Knight Leader of Falmuth, spoke up: "Your Majesty, it is the fault of that monster country called Tempest."

Razen, the Chief Sorcerer of the Kingdom of Falmuth, added: "Indeed, it is because of those monsters that the merchants have avoided Falmuth. We must find a way to eliminate these creatures, Your Majesty."

King Edmaris expressed his frustration: "How could a mere monster country gain more attention than our Human Kingdom?"

Archbishop Reyhiem of the Western Holy Church in the Kingdom of Falmuth tried to reassure the king

Archbishop Reyhiem: "Your Majesty, there is no need to despair. You know that monsters are the enemies of humanity, and the Western Saints Church is willing to assist you in this matter."

King Edmaris inquired: "Reyhiem-dono, can you share your thoughts?"

The king and Reyhiem entered a private chamber for a more discreet conversation about dealing with the monster country.

(Private Discussion)

Archbishop Reyhiem proposed: "Your Majesty, we are staunch enemies of the monsters. Allow us to join the war effort and provide you with our holy knights."

King Edmaris questioned: "Is it that simple to secure your holy knights?"

Archbishop Reyhiem assured him: "Of course, Your Majesty. This is for the sake of God and the protection of humanity."

King Edmaris eagerly agreed: "What a splendid idea you have, Reyhiem-dono. We can now conquer this country and seize its treasures."

Archbishop Reyhiem concurred: "Certainly, Your Majesty. With our holy barrier, we will weaken them, and in their weakened state, we can eliminate them."

King Edmaris, with a hint of anticipation, mused: "I've heard that this country is teeming with beautiful monsters. I can't wait to see them."

They continued their discussion for some time, filled with ambition and desires, before returning to the meeting chamber.

(Back to Meeting Chamber)

After their private discussion, King Edmaris turned to his commander, Folgen, and inquired

King Edmaris: "Folgen, how many knights can we muster now?"

Folgen replied confidently: "We can assemble 18,000 knights, Your Majesty."

King Edmaris then asked Archbishop Reyhiem

King Edmaris: "And how many Holy Knights can you provide, Reyhiem-Dono?"

Reyhiem responded: "I can gather around 2,000 Holy Knights, Your Majesty."

King Edmaris concluded: "We have a force of 20,000, and we shall annihilate this monster country. Reyhiem-dono assures me that the holy barriers will weaken them, and we will eliminate them."

Filled with determination, Folgen added: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Razen mentioned that they could also make use of three other wolders within their kingdom, and King Edmaris acknowledged this.

King Edmaris declared: "Very well, everyone. Tomorrow, we shall embark on the mission to annihilate this monster country."

They responded with unwavering confidence: "Hai."

(Back to Rimuru)

After my return from the Kingdom of Ingrassia, I pondered a matter that needed addressing before Falmuth's attack.

"Alice, what would happen if you were to fuse yourself with my origin skill, the {Information King Akashic Records}?" I asked Alice.

Alice responded, "[I do not know, Master, but I believe it would lead to my evolution into a higher form of existence.]"

Unsure of the consequences, I continued, "So you do not have definite knowledge of what will occur?"

Alice confirmed, "[That is correct, Master.]"

After careful consideration, I decided to merge my origin skills with Alice.

"Alice, I want you to fuse my origin skill, the {Information King Akashic Records}, with yourself," I instructed.

In response, Alice said, "[Of course, Master].

The Voice of the World announced, << Fusing origin skill {Information King Akashic Records} with Manas: Alice... Manas: Alice has evolved into Codex... 'Voice of the World' has been absorbed by Codex Alice... all information regarding this evolution has been hidden by Alice… >>

Alice cheerfully explained: "[Master, after merging with my origin skill, the {Information King Akashic Records}, I have successfully evolved into a higher form of existence known as Codex.]"

Surprised, I inquired further, "While that's impressive, Alice, could you clarify what happened to the Voice of the World? Does this mean that others no longer receive its support?"

Alice clarified: "[The Voice was absorbed but not destroyed. This gives you control over the Voice itself and all the creatures in this world.]"

Stunned by this revelation, I asked: "So, Alice, does this mean I can also influence the world's natural order?"

Alice enthusiastically confirmed: "[Yes, Master]."

I contemplated: "Does this mean that if I desired to become a true hero, I could do so right now?"

Alice replied with encouragement: "[Yes, Master. If you wish to become a true hero, you can achieve that goal immediately.]"

I turned to Alice once more with a burning question in my heart.

"Hey, Alice, what would happen if I were to become a true hero?" My excitement was palpable, as I eagerly anticipated the prospect of transcending the natural order of the world.

Alice responded with an equally enthusiastic tone, "If you were to evolve into a true hero, you would become a truly unique being."

Brimming with determination, I decided to leap. "Alright, Alice, evolve me into a true hero."

Alice nodded and conveyed, [Alright, Master. I will create a hero's egg for your evolution using the powers of the creation god, Yahweh.]

 She added, [The process is successful. Now, I will proceed to hatch the hero's egg to evolve you into a true hero… successful]

As the transformation began, my initial excitement quickly turned to excruciating pain. Even though I possessed pain-nullifying abilities, the sensation was overwhelming, as if my very body was tearing itself apart. I couldn't help but let out a scream in agony.

Hearing my distress, my loyal comrades - Veldora, Shizu, and the children - rushed to my side. Despite the agony coursing through my body, I managed to inquire of Alice about the torment I was enduring.

Alice responded compassionately, [Master, your pain is a result of your current form being unable to bear the weight of the Transcendent Skill. I advise you to consider evolving into a True Dragon.]

Accepting the situation, I granted Alice permission to initiate the evolution into a True Dragon. I also asked her not to conceal this information from the world before succumbing to the overwhelming pain and passing out.

(3rd person POV)

It was a normal day in Tempest when suddenly they heard the scream of their master. Top executives of Tempest, along with Veldora, Shizu, and the kids, rushed to the palace from where they heard Rimuru's scream. Upon entering his office, they found Rimuru passed out at his table. As they attempted to understand what was happening with Rimuru, they saw him suddenly wake up, but his eyes were a deep shade of red instead of their usual golden hue.

Observing Rimuru, Diablo finally asked in a threatening voice. Diablo: "Who are you, and where is Master Rimuru?"

Ignoring Diablo, the entity inhabiting Rimuru's body, now identified as Alice, turned to Veldora.

Alice: [ I request individual Veldora Tempest to get devoured and complete master's evolution]

Veldora: "First of all who are you I am sure that you are not Rimuru, and what happened to Rimuru as well as what do you mean by devouring me for evolution"

Alice: [ no I'm not master my name is Alice and I'm codex evolved from Raphael after getting the name Alice and I request individual Veldora to cooperate with me and complete the evolution of my master Rimuru ]

All of them are shocked because this is the first time they heard of the evolution of skill into a new existence but they calm themselves and Veldora answer

Veldora: "OK if it is for Rimuru then I will let you devour me"

Alice: [Thank you for your cooperation, Veldora.]

With that, Alice used {Primal Void God Azathoth} to consume Veldora.

Alice: [Analyzing Veldora's True Dragon Core: 1%... 10%... 50%... 99%... completed.]

Alice: [Analysis of Veldora's True Dragon Factor complete. Now creating the True Dragon Factor for Master using data gathered from Veldora's True Dragon Factor and the Akashic Records.]

Everyone in the room was astonished at the revelation that Rimuru was about to evolve into a True Dragon. As they pondered Rimuru's transformation, they heard the Voice of the World make an announcement. Not just them, but everyone in the central world heard the Voice of the World's message.

Voice of the World: << Announcement: Evolution of Rimuru Tempest into a True Dragon commencing. Error… Error… Voice of the World unable to commence evolution. >>

Voice of the World: << Requesting permission for Voice of the World evolution first from individual Rimuru Tempest. >>

Alice: [Master is unable to grant permission, so I, Codex, grant permission for Voice of the World's evolution on behalf of Master.]

After granting permission, Rimuru fell to the ground.

Voice of the World: << Permission granted... evolving Voice of the World into Voice of the Void completed… >>

The entire central world was shocked by this revelation.

Voice of the Void: << Evolution of individual Rimuru Tempest into a True Dragon commencing… completed. >>

Voice of the Void: << Announcement: The Primordial Dragon God has been born. >>

[Ice Continent]

(Guy Crimson's POV)

After that day when the magicule was released, I had been investigating the Jura Forest. From the information my demons gathered, it seemed that the one responsible for the release of magicule was a slime. I contemplated visiting this slime, who had managed to build a monster country in the forest and recruit other primordial demons, even giving them names.

While thinking about this slime, I suddenly heard the Voice of the World make an announcement that shocked me. It seemed the slime was undergoing an evolution into a True Dragon, and even the Voice of the World had evolved into a higher existence known as the Voice of the Void.

When the Voice of the Void completed its evolution, I felt myself becoming even stronger. As I contemplated my newfound strength, a powerful energy was released across the world, causing me to kneel on the ground. After some time, the energy vanished as if it had never existed.

After a period of relaxation, I resolved to bring that slime, or rather, Rimuru Tempest, to my side.

(Back to Rimuru's POV)

As I finally woke up from my slumber, I found myself in my human form, and everyone around me was passed out on the floor.

Confused, I asked Alice what had happened to them.

"Hey, Alice, what happened to everyone?" I inquired.

Alice: [Master, everyone is currently undergoing an evolution after receiving a gift from your evolution.]

This revelation left me in shock, prompting me to inquire further about my evolution.

"Hey, Alice, could you tell me about my evolution?" I asked.

Alice: [Master, after you evolved into a True Hero, your soul created a unique skill that your physical body couldn't handle. This led to the excruciating pain you experienced. However, after evolving into a Primordial Dragon God, your body and soul became one, allowing your body to handle your skill.]

Perplexed, I sought a more detailed explanation.

"What do you mean by my body becoming one with my soul?" I asked Alice.

Alice: [The physical body of a being is merely a vessel for the soul. Your body was previously unable to withstand the pressure of your true essence, which manifested as your original skill. However, after evolving into a Primordial Dragon God, your soul and body merged.]

This revelation left me in awe, and I asked Alice for clarification.

"So you're saying that I exist both physically and spiritually simultaneously?" I asked Alice. She confirmed my question with a "yes."

Following this conversation, I requested Alice to show me my new status.

"After witnessing my new status, I was left in awe and thought to myself, 'I am incredibly overpowered.'

After pondering for a while, I turned to Alice with a question, "Hey Alice, if my soul created my original skill, does that mean everyone can do the same? And what about my previous skills, are they, not my original skills? What exactly are they?" I asked Alice.

Alice replied, "Master, not everyone's soul possesses the strength required to manifest their original skill. Therefore, the voice of the world forms a skill for them based on their soul. As for the skills you previously possessed, besides the ones you created, and all the other skills in this world, they are merely fragments of Veldanava's original skill."

Alice's explanation left me even more astonished, as it implied that every skill in the world was merely a fragment of Veldanava's original skill. After taking a moment to absorb this information, I asked Alice another question.

"Hey Alice, if Veldanava had his original skill, does that mean every other True Dragon can create their original skill?" I inquired.

Alice responded, "Yes, Master. Every True Dragon has the potential to create their original skill. However, currently, only Veldora possesses his original skill."

This response left me feeling perplexed, and I asked Alice to clarify, "What do you mean by saying that only Veldora possesses his original skill?" I inquired with a hint of confusion in my voice.

Alice clarified, "Master, after you evolved into the Primordial Dragon God, every being connected to you embarked on a separate path from the one dictated by the voice of the world. Consequently, after your evolution, Veldora also evolved into a Dragon God, strengthening his soul enough to create his original skill."

After hearing her explanation, I decided to convene a meeting with my executives to examine their new statuses and skills following their respective evolutions."
