Chapter 1087 Diablo's Cruelty; True Power
Chapter 1087 Diablo's Cruelty; True Power
Then, Rimuru slowly withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and stared intently at the crowd not far away.
"Get ready, everyone. Prepare to receive your 'ultimate skill'."
Upon hearing Rimuru's words, almost everyone present subconsciously focused their attention completely.
Many people have even started giving themselves buffs.
After all, this is the ritual to bestow the 'ultimate skill', so we can't afford to make a mistake!
But one person was different. He simply walked out of the line and found an empty spot to stand quietly.
It was none other than Zekion, who had already obtained the 'ultimate skill'!
As Rimuru watched Zekion leave, his dazzling pale gold eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything more.
After all, how could Rimuru, who personally awakened Zekion, not know that when Zekion awakened into a True Demon Lord, it had already obtained the Ultimate Skill that even many powerful beings dreamed of!
'King of Illusions'!
This time, Rimuru summoned everyone by saying that he wanted to call all the Awakened Ones within the Demon Kingdom Federation. That was too general, so he also called Zekion, who was not needed.
Of course, from a general rational point of view, if we follow what 'Rimuru' said, we should also summon 'Rota' and 'Veldra' who guard the 100th floor of the 'Underground Labyrinth' of the Demon Kingdom Federation.
But is this possible?
Both Veldora, who is a 'Dragon Seed', and Rudra, who is a 'Rock Dragon King', have clearly transcended the category of 'Awakened Ones'.
Once you reach their level, advancing further is harder than climbing to the heavens.
Unless they encounter a truly miraculous opportunity, they have only a tiny, albeit slight, chance of going any further!
But now? Forget about it.
Therefore, upon hearing Rimuru's summons, the two dragons subconsciously ignored it; even with their small brains, they could easily understand it.
Rimuru's purpose in summoning the 'Awakened Ones' is definitely to grant Benimaru and the others an opportunity to advance further!
Why are those two old dragons getting involved in this mess?!
Neither of them believed that Rimuru could help them take their studies any further!
Even Morax would have a hard time doing that, let alone Rimuru, whose strength has just been promoted to the "Calamity level".
So, no matter how you look at it, it shouldn't be called on the two of them!
Back to the topic.
Many people present also saw Zeqi'en leaving the army, but they all exchanged glances without saying anything.
Some things, though not explicitly stated, are understood in one's own heart.
Many people have witnessed Zechion's abnormally high and unparalleled strength.
They had some suspicions before, but now, seeing Zechion leave the army, everyone was certain of their own thoughts.
In particular, Benimaru, who had challenged Zekion more than once, also showed a bitter smile as he looked at the retired Zekion.
He said, "How can the gap between me and Zechion be so huge? At first, I was just unsure. But now…"
It turns out they acquired the ultimate skill a long time ago!
Even before it awakened, 'Zekien' was already very strong, and Benimaru was not confident that he could defeat it.
After awakening, he was almost completely overwhelmed in his battle against 'Zeqien'.
At first, Benimaru was extremely frustrated, and his Dao heart was almost shattered by the blow.
But in the end, they all persevered thanks to their strong and indomitable will.
His feeling was right. When fighting Zechion, he vaguely sensed that Zechion's aura was very strong, just not as intense as Xiao's.
The results have been found; they are actually the same type of people!
They are all possessors of 'ultimate skills'!
No wonder he's so strong!
Thinking of this, Benimaru took a deep breath.
His eyes revealed an unwavering determination that was difficult to conceal, even overflowing.
Once he obtains his 'ultimate skill', he will once again challenge Zechion, the 'Insect Emperor', and... 'Xiao'!
Even though the odds of winning are low, 'Benimaru' really wants to see how much of a gap there will be after he obtains the 'ultimate skill' and reaches the same level as them!
With this thought in mind, Benimaru's heart was bursting with intense fighting spirit!
In contrast to Benimaru, Diablo, standing beside Benimaru, gave Zekion a meaningful look.
There was no way around it! The existence of Zechion was something that Diablo, as the 'Primordial Demon', could not ignore.
Because 'Zeqi' really counters him!
Whether it's his 'Zerg' attributes or his body containing 'Rimuru's cells', Diablo cannot easily ignore them.
Furthermore, Diablo also had some guesses about the existence of 'Zekion'. It was simply that when he had just submitted, because of his identity and the threat posed by 'Kei' at the time, he was unable to gain 'Lord Rimuru's' trust!
Even after the threat of 'Gee' ended, his identity as the 'Primordial Demon' still made it difficult for him to gain Lord Rimuru's trust.
Therefore, Lord Rimuru would have created Zekion, an being who could restrain the demon in every way.
However, even knowing this fact, Diavolo's respect and faith in Rimuru did not diminish in the slightest; on the contrary, it grew even stronger.
As expected of 'Lord Rimuru', he so easily raised a monster of 'Zekion' level!
He really admired him!
He was truly honored to serve under him and to bask in the glory of his great existence!
As for disappointment? How could that be!
Even if Diavolo were to put himself in Rimuru's shoes, he would do the same!
After all, from Lord Rimuru's perspective, the primordial demon is far too dangerous!
If it were me, I would definitely find a way to eliminate all the 'Primordial Demons'. Even if I couldn't kill them, I would make sure that none of the 'Primordial Demons' could threaten me.
It would be best if they were all sealed away!
If I were in Rimuru's shoes, and I couldn't guarantee the safety and loyalty of the 'Primal Demon,' I would seal it away even if it meant seeking Morax's help directly!
Rimuru, standing in front of everyone, noticed that they all unconsciously turned their gazes toward Zekion, but he didn't say anything.
After all, it is indeed very attractive!
"Alright. Let's begin. Is everyone ready?"
Rimuru addressed the crowd solemnly.
Reminded by Rimuru, everyone snapped out of their daze, exchanged glances, and nodded in unison.
Seeing the determination on everyone's faces, Rimuru nodded with satisfaction.
'Ciel, let's begin.'
'Give them true power.'
Rimuru closed his eyes and said this in his heart.
'I will obey your command.'
A mechanical yet ethereal voice resonated within Rimuru's heart.
