Chapter 145: Demon Lord Power...Unleashed!!!
Rimuru then told them that they will need to train to get used to their new powers and the best way was to fight. You can see all of them excited.
As Rimuru's words echoed in the air, the atmosphere around them seemed to ripple with the sheer power that now lay within each of the Demon Lords. They were ready for battle, their hearts pumping with excitement and anticipation. This wasn't just any fight—it was a trial by fire, a chance to test their limits, to grow stronger and more attuned to the immense powers they now commanded. Rimuru had devised the perfect plan for them to get accustomed to their evolved skills, and each Demon Lord was eager to prove their might.
Rimuru called upon his generals—Benimaru, Shion, Diablo, and the others—along with Veldora, to form the strongest barriers they could. The Labyrinth began to warp and pulse as massive shields of energy enveloped the entire area. These barriers, shimmering with countless layers of defensive magic, would allow the battle to rage on without risk of collateral damage. The air was thick with tension as the Demon Lords, now fully aware of the stakes, readied themselves.
Each Demon Lord took a side, their expressions full of focus and determination.
With the barriers in place, Rimuru stepped to the center of the battlefield, raising his hand. He activated the signal, and the entire space seemed to vibrate with energy. The battle royale had begun.
Immediately, the battlefield erupted into chaos.
The battle royale had evolved into a contest of pure power, an arena where the newly evolved skills of each combatant were tested and honed with every strike. With the powers they wielded, the very fabric of reality trembled in their wake. The Demon Lords, Rimuru, and their allies stood ready to push their newfound strengths to their limits.
The air itself seemed to quake as Rimuru unleashed his ultimate skill, Azathoth, The Infinite Abyss, creating a vast, bottomless chasm that distorted the very space and time around him. As Rimuru activated Deus, Ex Machina, the divine architect's will materialized in the form of complex geometric constructs that spread out from him, manipulating the battlefield as if it were a mere blueprint. Every structure he built seemed to react to the chaos around him, bending to his divine will. Rimuru's Genesis Omega, The Eternal Core pulsed with power, generating a massive, radiant core in the center of the battlefield that grew stronger with each passing second. With this core in play, Rimuru could feed and draw from an endless supply of magical energy, boosting his power exponentially.
As Guy Crimson stood across from him, the immense power coming from Rimuru was apparent, but Guy was not deterred. His form shimmered as he activated Azazel, Sovereign of the Eternal Abyss. A dark, ethereal aura enveloped him, causing space to distort and warp in bizarre ways. Time seemed to slow, the very air bending under his dominion. Guy raised a hand, and with it, the very fabric of reality shattered into jagged, jagged pieces as his Azazel tore apart the space around them. Rimuru's constructs buckled under the overwhelming force of Guy's manipulation, but Rimuru responded with the full power of Deus, Ex Machina, erecting structures that neutralized Guy's attacks and turning the battleground into a labyrinth of shifting realities.
Meanwhile, Milim, with the full force of Vritra, Wrath Incarnate, soared into the air, her aura erupting in a storm of devastating flames. Her power manifested as a swirling mass of fiery destruction, capable of obliterating anything in its path. She zoomed toward Draguel, who, with a roar, called upon Khaos, the Annihilator. The ground trembled beneath him as the sheer force of his power seemed to distort the very atmosphere. Khaos wrapped his fists in an aura of annihilating energy, each punch creating shockwaves of destruction that shattered the ground.
Milim met his assault head-on with a blast of flames, but Draguel's mastery over annihilation proved to be overwhelming. The shockwaves from his punches created ruptures in the air, causing the ground beneath them to collapse into a bottomless pit, a void that consumed everything in its wake. Milim's fiery onslaught collided with Draguel's attack, causing an explosion of light and sound that rattled the very foundations of the Labyrinth. But despite her formidable power, Milim found herself having to retreat, her strength being overwhelmed by Draguel's annihilating presence.
Across the battlefield, Luminous was not idle. Her aura shifted as she invoked Lilith, the Queen of Temptation, and a sense of dark allure began to pervade the air. Her powers were now based on manipulation and subjugation, and the very fabric of reality itself seemed to bend in her favor. Lilith granted her the ability to influence the desires of others, creating illusions that could break the will of even the strongest.
As Luminous raised her hand, a wave of irresistible temptation washed over Leon Cromwell, who stood firm, the light of his Solom, Bringer of Light and Judgement blazing from his body. The very ground beneath them began to shimmer with divine radiance as Leon called upon the full force of his divine power. The divine radiance from Solom turned the battlefield into a blinding storm of light and judgment. It cast away all darkness and confusion, counteracting Luminous' seductive illusions with pure divine will.
The two powers collided, creating a dazzling explosion of light and shadow. Luminous, for a brief moment, found herself pushed back by Leon's divine judgment, but she quickly regained her composure, her seductive aura reforming into a new wave of temptation aimed directly at Leon's will. Yet Leon stood resolute, his connection to the divine light unshaken.
Meanwhile, Milim and Draguel regrouped. Milim, having recovered from their earlier clash, prepared to engage once more. She spread her wings wide, the flames around her intensifying as she invoked the full power of Vritra, Wrath Incarnate. Her body surged with overwhelming power as she rocketed toward Guy Crimson, who stood calmly observing the battlefield, his time-altering powers keeping him in complete control. With a sneer, he raised his hand, slowing Milim's movements and causing the space around her to distort in unnatural ways.
But Milim was not so easily thwarted. With a primal scream, she called upon her inner wrath, shattering the space-time distortions around her. The force of her power unleashed a fiery explosion, sending shockwaves across the battlefield. Her destructive energy collided with Guy's time manipulation, causing the air to crackle with raw power.
At the same time, Rimuru utilized Azathoth, The Infinite Abyss to bend space around him, reappearing behind Luminous and Leon, his movements untraceable. He unleashed a wave of pure chaos energy from his hands, distorting time and space to make his attacks unpredictable. Luminous and Leon braced for the impact, but Genesis Omega, Rimuru's ultimate weapon, empowered his attacks, turning the very core of the Labyrinth into a chaotic maelstrom of shifting power.
As the battle wore on, each combatant was pushed to the limit. Their powers and abilities clashed in a chaotic frenzy, but none were backing down. Every attack left the very air around them burning, distorting, or crumbling into nothingness. Guy Crimson continued to warp reality, his attacks coming in waves of distortion that seemed to be everywhere at once. But Draguel, using Khaos, the Annihilator, countered with his own devastating shockwaves, turning the entire area into a volatile landscape of destruction.
Rimuru, seeing his opportunity, warped space and time itself, making his attacks all but impossible to predict. He unleashed his chaos energy once again, this time magnified by Azathoth and Deus, Ex Machina. The constructs he created swirled around him, directing attacks that resonated with the very core of reality itself.
But Milim, roaring in fury, charged forward once again, enveloping herself in the wrathful power of Vritra, Wrath Incarnate. Her flames became an unstoppable torrent, incinerating everything in their path. The very ground beneath her began to crack and shatter as she tore through the battlefield, her rage fueling her every move.
Luminous, not one to back down, summoned a final wave of her Lilith power, turning the very atmosphere around her into a vortex of illusion and temptation. She attempted to break the will of all her opponents, weaving a web of distractions, but Rimuru's mastery over space allowed him to avoid the illusions.
Finally, as the battle approached its final hours, Leon Cromwell summoned the full might of Solom, Bringer of Light and Judgement, calling down divine judgment from the heavens itself. A beam of blinding light descended from above, striking the battlefield with devastating force, purging all darkness and chaos in its wake.
The battle royale was far from over, but the land had been torn asunder, and the Demon Lords—along with Rimuru—had shown the true extent of their power. The world trembled beneath their feet, and their battle was only just beginning.
