The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 542: They are both ultimate skills, why is there such a big difference?
Rimuru's body kept changing into various shapes, some were slimes, some were other shapes, and even the shadow of a golden dragon could be seen. Finally, it returned to its original round shape and settled down.

I thought he had entered a stable state, but unexpectedly his body began to flicker repeatedly, which looked very strange.

Red, blue, yellow, green, purple, black and white.

Various colors flashed by.

In this way, some time passed.

Everyone present began to lose track of what day it was. Zhu Cai also looked at them with a puzzled look, and Zun Zun could only look back with the same puzzled look.

Zun Zun is, after all, the self-proclaimed Demon King.

I don't know much about Demon King evolution.

I don’t know how long it took, but the worried people all heard the voice of the world, and the voice came directly into their minds.

[Announcement: Body name 'Rimuru Tempest' has successfully evolved into a Demon King, and will now begin to bless the family]

"Hmm, what is this?"

Zhu Cai staggered.

Zun Zun hugged her subconsciously and asked, "What's wrong, Zhu Cai, are you feeling unwell?"

“No, it was Lord Rimuru who… evolved… successfully.” She managed to say this and then fell asleep.

Starting with the members with weaker resistance, everyone fell asleep one after another. Only Benimaru was still holding on, desperately fighting the sleepiness.

"Go to sleep, Benimaru. Leave the rest to me."

“…I’m counting on you, sir.”

Benimaru fell into a baby-like sleep.

And when Zun Zun settled Shuna, Rimuru's body right in front of him emitted a dazzling light.

When the light stopped shining, a beautiful woman stood there, her long, soft silver hair swaying in the wind. It was Rimuru, who had grown slightly taller, and took off his mask to reveal his true face.

Beautiful silver hair like moonlight falls on the cheek, flowing down softly, like a fairy descending from heaven.

Rimuru... No, she was not Rimuru himself, it should be said that the Great Sage in his body was controlling his body. After the Great Sage looked at Zun Zun seriously for a while, he was sure that Zun Zun was not an enemy, and then slowly opened his hands.

The long silver hair flows down the back like angel wings, emitting dazzling light.

[Declaration. Order in the name of 'King of Wisdom Raphael'. 'King of Gluttony Beelzebub', consume all the magic power within the range of this barrier, and do not spare any soul.]

Then, a strong suction force came from Rimuru's body.

The barrier covering the town contained magic power, and all that magic power became the object of absorption, and the entire space was eaten up completely. In addition to the magic power, even the barrier was eaten up completely, which was really similar to the greed of the slime.

The skill acted on its own without the master's order.

They are both ultimate skills, so why is there such a big gap?
The great sage slowly came to Ziyuan, stretched out his hand and began to analyze something, and Zun Zun watched quietly without interrupting. However, when his hand was condensed with enough killing power, a voice came from the side.

"Please calm down. I am not an enemy, but a servant of the master."

The target of the murderous intent was not Rimuru, but the three demons.

The other two demons were not important. The leading demon had black hair mixed with a strand of red, black whites of eyes and golden pupils. He looked like a noble son, but the strong demonic aura and bloody smell on him made people frown slightly.

The leading demon first bowed solemnly to Zun Zun, then slowly walked to Rimuru who was controlled by the Great Sage.

"I am back, my lord."

He knelt respectfully, along with the other two demons. Normally, as a servant, he would never disturb the ceremony, but -

"Your magic power seems to be insufficient."

The devil was right.

To perform the ritual, Rimuru did not have enough magic power, even with Zun Zun's barrier, it was still a little short.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're performing the art of resurrection. It's a pre-step to resurrecting the dead, and is used to rebuild a complete soul. If there's any mistake in this process, the personality of the resurrected person will be completely different from that of the living, and there's a risk of the person turning into a monster."

As if deliberately explaining things to Zun Zun, the demon revealed information that the great sage had already known.

[Correct answer. If the magic power does not reach the regulatory threshold, the vitality will be consumed instead.]

"I see. You need my magic power..."

"Please think twice, my Lord! It consumes a lot of vitality, why don't you use these two instead!"

As if he didn't want Zun Zun to speak, the devil said this first, and even the great sage was speechless for a moment - from her point of view, absorbing Zun Zun's magic power should be the best solution, but her subordinates said so.

The great sage stared at the demon with his golden eyes, but the demon just lowered his head respectfully, his beautiful eyes without any emotion, and declared quietly.

[Understood. The magic power required for regulation can be supplemented, and the proposal is passed.]

Then he activated his skills without hesitation and absorbed the two high-level demons. The demon... no, it should be called the Original Black, showed a happy smile on his face.

"I don't know whether I should be happy or worried that Rimuru has a subordinate like you."

"…What are you talking about? If my presence can satisfy the master, it would be my greatest honor."

A devilish smile appeared on the face of the Original Black.

There was no denial at all.

"And in fact, I am also very interested in you. To be disrespectful, my interest in you far exceeds that of my master. But you don't summon demons at all. Do you not know how to use this kind of magic? Do you need me to teach you how to use it? Please don't worry, you and my master are close friends. I will believe in you with all my heart, just as I believe in my master!"

He talked a lot.

Honestly, this desperate attempt to promote oneself will only make people feel more repelled. "Is it really okay for you to say that? Rimuru will be angry."

"No, my master will never be angry about this. I am very confident."

Look, look.

This guy must have already figured out how to control Rimuru.

“…No need.” Zun Zun thought of the ugly face of a certain Duke of Hell and suddenly had a bad feeling. “I will ask Rimuru for help if I need it, because we are close friends.”

"Yes, yes, a close friend."

The original Black laughed a little too much.

But soon Zun Zun was attracted by the scene before him.

A beautiful, colorless, transparent ball of light appeared, with a lavender film wrapping it softly. It was the soul of the magic core, and the astral body that protected it. Then, the secret technique of resurrecting the dead began to be performed, and the reborn monster souls would return to their bodies one by one.

The chance of success is only 3.14%!

The Black Primordial looked at Rimuru with joy, and turned around and said, "I don't think the master will fail, but just take it as my humble request, and I sincerely hope that you will bless my master."

“…I pray that Rimuru will succeed.”

After he finished speaking, Zun Zun's body suddenly emitted white light, as if being pulled and echoing with the void in the distance, and then the light fell on the great sage in front who was performing a secret technique.

[Change. With the blessing of the world, the success rate of the secret technique is... 100%]

"Coming, coming, coming!"

The Original Black cheered and jumped for joy, as if this was the real scene. He raised his hands high and bowed deeply to Zun Zun.

"Thank you for your gift! Also, congratulations on your reawakening!"

"You...did you do this on purpose?"

Zun Zun covered his painful forehead.

The power of the crown was activated, but no one knew what special power it attracted. This huge power poured into Zun Zun's head from the void... no, into the crown.

Immediately afterwards, he heard the voice of the world.

[Skill Acquired: King of Luck]

Zun Zun is in a complicated mood right now.

The original black did not harm him, but helped him awaken the ultimate skill, which is very similar to what a certain Duke of Hell did. However, this still caused him to have PTSD. How could he summon such a subordinate?

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

The power was so fierce, as if it had found an outlet and was pouring madly into his crown, so much so that even his physique as a godslayer could not bear it, and the pain lasted until the next morning.

Zun Zun managed to hold on without fainting, but when Ziyuan and the others were successfully resurrected, he still couldn't hold on any longer and went back to his room to rest.

There is no isolation of such energy.

After all, fundamentally, this power is of great benefit to him, and the people who followed him were Benimaru and Shirao. They were clearly told to care about Rimuru, but the two of them still stayed stubbornly.

When the pain gradually subsided, Zun Zun had never felt so refreshed.

His crown looked even more magnificent in the mirror.

Apart from this, there was no change, which made people suspect that the energy yesterday was an imagination - but when Zun Zun tossed the coin 100 times in a row, it was proved that it was not an imagination.

Rigurdo ran over and said that Rimuru had woken up. Benimaru and Shirao hurriedly said goodbye and ran to the other side, but after a while they came back with Rimuru and the resurrected Shion.

It was originally a happy scene.

However, as if on purpose, Benimaru said, "Sir, do you remember the code that Rimuru-sama asked you to tell me?"

"oh oh."

Zun Zun looked at the sweaty Rimuru with a wicked grin on his face.

“Rimuru, you should still remember, right? How does Shion’s food taste? Come on, please answer! Depending on your answer, I may have to treat you differently.”

"It's super difficult--Wait, wait a minute! Are you two doing this on purpose?!"

Rimuru covered his mouth subconsciously just as he was about to answer.

"I say, now that I have the ultimate skill, I should also be a demon king, right? In other words, my strength and Zun Zun's should be at the same level, right? Zun Zun, is it really okay for you to say that?"

"Rimuru, you would rather fight me than tell me a secret code?"

"I'll die!"

"But you'll die if you fight me!"

As if responding to what the Venerable said, the Great Sage… no, now he should be called the King of Wisdom, also responded in his mind.

[Answer. The probability of winning the battle against Zun Zun is... 0]

"Wait, don't I also have an ultimate skill..."

[Answer: Even the ultimate skills have differences]

“You must be kidding—”

Rimuru shouted loudly.
