I am the emperor of Mengwang

Chapter 896: One Man Guards a Country; The Act Begins

Ciel slowly came to Velgrynd who was sealed in the Infinite Cage, and looked at Velgrynd with indifferent eyes, who was looking at him with hatred.

Ciel paid no attention to Velgrynd's gaze, but slowly raised his right hand, and something like a black hole vortex appeared in Ciel's hand.

[Devouring Begins]

In front of everyone’s eyes, the entire seal of the Scorching Dragon Velgrind was swallowed by Ciel into Rimuru’s stomach.

Charles said silently in his heart.

[Analysis...Beginning...]

above the ground.

Imperial Capital

Hanging high above the Imperial Capital, Mo Li watched this scene, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a relieved smile.

Although, it is not like in the original work that it evolved into a "Dragon Seed" by 'devouring' Veldora's Dragon Factor.

But devouring Veldora's second sister, Velgrendo, would make no difference.

After this successful evolution, Rimuru's strength should be only a step behind his.

There is no need for him to worry too much.

A feeling of his own child growing up surged into Mo Li's heart.

Xiao, who was standing behind Mo Li, was also keenly aware of the emotional changes of his own emperor.

Is there something happy? The Emperor seems to be in a good mood.

Forget it. It has nothing to do with me. As long as the Emperor is happy, that's all that matters.

But they think so, but the people of the empire don't think so.

Kondo Tatsuya looked at Velgrynd being devoured by Ciel, and his expressionless face also showed some changes in emotion.

If Velgrynd were to be devoured and imprisoned by the Demon Lord Rimuru, their empire’s ambition would be completely destroyed.

"Hey, hey, hey~~, the marshal is gone just like that!? Are you kidding me?"

Damrada also had an expression of disbelief on his face. It was obvious that even he found it difficult to accept the fact that Velgrynd was devoured by Rimuru.

Damrada had already found it difficult to accept Velgrind’s defeat as a ‘Dragon’, but if he were to be devoured and imprisoned, then the Empire would be in real trouble.

The other guards knights were in an even worse state, all with despairing expressions on their faces. It was obvious that they could not accept the fact that their marshal had been defeated.

Rudra, surrounded by the Royal Guards, looked at Velgrendo being devoured by Ciel's Gluttony King, his expression darkening.

Velgrynd, the Scorching Dragon, could be said to be the most powerful and important chess piece in Rudra's hand.

Not to mention that he was the Grand Marshal of the Empire, the second-in-command of the Empire, and most importantly, Velgrynd was that lord’s…

Of course, this also includes 'one's own' feelings.

Therefore, whether from the perspective of the overall situation or personal desires, Velgrynd is an existence that cannot be lost.

Likewise, Kondo Tatsuya, Damrada, and other 'Royal Guard Knights' also tried to dissuade Rudra.

In any case, Velgrynd cannot afford to lose anything.

It was shameful enough for the empire's marshal, the second-in-command, to be defeated by others in the 'empire'. If he was also 'devoured and imprisoned', the loss to the 'empire' would be too great.

This is true both in terms of reputation and the empire's combat power.

Rudra soon made a decision. Velgrendo could not afford to lose anything. He had to intervene and save Velgrendo.

But it was obvious that there were some things he couldn't do just because he wanted to.

Just as Rudra was about to attack, a huge dark golden barrier once again enveloped the entire palace.

"According to the contract, you are not allowed to take action."

A majestic, superior voice reached Rudra's ears.

Rudra looked up and saw the Martial God from the Demonic Federation looking down at him with a pair of golden eyes filled with supreme majesty.

"Morax, are you really going to be so ruthless?"

Rudra had a gloomy face and questioned Mo Li.

"I am only protecting the fairness of the contract. Rudra, I am not within the scope of the contract. Not taking action is a gesture of mercy towards you."

“Velgrind wasn’t strong enough, so he was defeated by Rimuru. You know the principle of winner takes all, loser eats dust.”

Mo Li's words became increasingly cold, and by the end they even gave people a chill that penetrated their hearts.

Rudra fell silent. The surrounding Knight Guards watched their Emperor and the Demon Kingdom's War God confronting each other, not daring to utter a single word.

Although I don't understand what the "contract" that Morax mentioned is, he is right about one thing.

The fact that they didn't take action personally was indeed a form of 'concession'.

1VS1 is indeed as fair as it can be.

Even so, their own "marshal" was defeated.

'The winner is the king, the loser is the enemy'

'Winner takes all, loser eats dust'

It should be so.

Of course, Mo Li was like this because Rimuru won. If Rimuru had accidentally lost, then the story would most likely be different.

After all, for Mo Li now, suppressing the empire is not a difficult task.

Rudra was also weighing the pros and cons of this matter at this time.

Meanwhile, Rimuru, who was in the Spiritual Space, looked at Ciel who had completely devoured Velgrynd, and his mouth opened in shock.

What is Ciel going to do?!

Could it be that they were planning to completely destroy Velgrynd!?

Impossible! Aren't 'Dragon Seeds' immortal?!

Although Rimuru is a carefree person and doesn’t pay much attention to other trivial matters.

However, with the external brain 'Mo Li', he still pays attention to the existence of those powerful BUGs in this world.

Among them, the 'Dragon Species' is the most buggy.

Immortality in the true sense.

After all, I only have one at home.

Adhering to the principle of 'ask if you don't understand', Rimuru directly asked Ciel, who was still analyzing 'Velgrynd'.

Then, before Rimuru could ask any questions, Ciel began to take credit for himself.

In simple terms, she analyzed Velgrynd's ultimate move, 'Scorching Dragon Tyrant Accelerated Violence', which was sealed in Rimuru's imaginary space.

You can directly grasp the principles and carry out so-called imitation and improvement.

Rimuru was completely stunned.

Isn’t it that simple?!

You know, that's the ultimate move of the Scorching Dragon Velgrynd!? It's a sure-kill move!?

As a result, 'Char' was easily analyzed and could be imitated and improved.

"You, wait a moment..."

Rimuru said in a daze.

However, these were merely appetizers. No! Compared to what was to come, analyzing Velgrynd’s special move was nothing more than an appetizer.

[These are all true, but this matter is actually not important. The next part is the main topic!]

Before Rimuru could answer, he was interrupted by Ciel. Hearing Ciel's nonchalant attitude and tone, Rimuru understood that what was about to happen was the real topic.

PS: Here is a chapter.

Next chapter evolution. She must have evolved today.

Please wait a moment, dear readers.

Finally, Kitty would like to ask, after Rimuru finishes evolving, should 'Number Two Battery' be released directly or taken back to the 'Demon Federation'? It is up to the readers to decide.
