Me? A slime? A villain who destroys a nation? Fine!

"Let's go back and check on Mommy Slime," Lin Ming said, ignoring the two silly villagers behind him and heading to see how his mother was doing.

Since he helped her suppress the pollution last time, he hasn't gone to see her again. It's not good to keep having the little fairy come to him before he goes over.

Normally, if Lin Ming didn't visit his slime mother for too long, she would grab him. But that's not happening anymore, which means she doesn't even have the strength to grab him anymore.

Soon, Lin Ming also rolled his way to the Slime Forest ruins.

The condition of the ruins is relatively good. The high-piled rose protective ring has not been corroded or contaminated. In addition, with the rose crosses piled up on the outside, it should be able to withstand the damage for ten days to half a month without any problems.

As soon as you enter the forest, you can see the little fairy flying beside Mother Slime, who looks as worried as ever.

Slime Mom's complexion had improved somewhat, though she still appeared a little weak. However, she quickly sensed Lin Ming's arrival and, as always, smiled gently, opening her arms to gesture for him to come closer.

Although this loving hug was a bit outdated for Lin Ming, he didn't refuse too directly and quickly jumped into the slime mother's arms to let her hold him.

After all, the warmth is real, and the love is genuine.

"Oh my, child, is this your new look? It seems you've already started using this 'ecological evolution' technique. I was worried you wouldn't know how to use it."

Slime Mom picked up the adorable green slime and nestled her face against it, causing Lin Ming's little green leaf ears on his head to sway back and forth.

"Little Gulu is as excellent as ever, so I think you should take better care of yourself, Big Sister. I think you can remove that barrier now, Big Sister. The barrier is the only thing draining your energy right now. You can use your last bit of strength to resist pollution," the little fairy reminded her worriedly.

Since Lin Ming arrived here, it has always been the slime mother's barrier that has kept dangerous creatures from entering, thus giving Lin Ming a safe space to develop.

While it wasn't exactly safe for Lin Ming, it at least reduced his pressure significantly. If a high-speed bird had invaded from the start, Lin Ming would have had a very difficult time.

"What have you been up to lately? You seem to be making quite a fuss."

Slime Mom was still clinging to Lin Ming, hugging him like a pillow.

Lin Ming has grown much bigger now, so much so that when Slime Mom picks him up, she can no longer crush him flat; she can even rest her head on Lin Ming's body now.

"I've been looking for some good food in the ruins lately," Lin Ming said simply, without saying much about the village or anything like that.

"Little foodie." Slime Mom still doted on Lin Ming.

"You seem to have reached your limit, right? Come on, push it, kid. This is probably the last time."

Slime Mom cradled Little Gulu in her hands, her face filled with loving affection as she gazed into his bright, white eyes within the liquid.

"Wh...what do you mean by 'the last time'? Don't say things that make people uneasy." Lin Ming couldn't help but frown.

"Silly child, that's not what I meant. I just mean that this is the last breakthrough, and you won't need Mommy's help with your evolution anymore."

You will be the last and first Slime King in our Slime Continent. I will grant you supreme and high authority, giving you a status comparable to the Earth Fairies. Mom doesn't expect you to do anything, nor does she expect you to strive for anything. Mom only hopes you can grow up smoothly and happily spend each day in this Slime Continent.

"Of course, if the Slime Continent falls, that's alright. As long as you escape, abandon all your burdens, and with a will, you can always rise again. My child, my new king, accept this forest."

With heavy eyelids, Slime Mother spoke softly, then hugged Lin Ming in her arms smaller and smaller until he was transformed back to the size Little Gulu had been in at the beginning.

Just like before, Lin Ming merged into the other's abdomen and once again fell into the warm sea of ​​the Mother of Slimes, where he was healed and soothed into sleep.

When Lin Ming woke up, he was unknowingly switched back to his initial Little Gulu form, which was made of purple-blue liquid.

The only difference is that this time, Little Gulu has a small golden crown on his head. The crown is inlaid with many colorful gems and looks very valuable.

The data on Lin Ming's panel also changed, and Little Gulu transformed into a higher-level Little Gulu. The form switching also added four new slime forms: small, medium, large, and giant, which appeared on his panel.

Even in Lin Ming's previous mimicry evolution, there was an additional evolutionary line as dense as a technology tree. It listed everything from Dora to knight-type slimes, and even slimes from all sorts of different regions, with so many varieties that Lin Ming couldn't even count them all.

This includes the Grass Forest Slime that Lin Ming unlocked before, which he couldn't see before.

It was also because she helped Lin Ming break through the level cap that Slime Mom fell asleep on the throne.

Lin Ming picked a fresh, large leaf and covered her with it, then exchanged a glance with the little fairy beside him.

"Do you still remember your aunt?" the little imp asked curiously, pointing to herself.

"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about? Of course I remember you. Do you think I would lose my memory after becoming like this?" Lin Ming asked curiously.

"Is that true? When a species breaks through to a higher level, most of the time they lose their memory. My older sister lost her memory for a long time back then, and I, her aunt, had to rebuild our relationship from scratch twice. Although she still doesn't remember the days when we were friends when she was lower level. It's like I'm still a naturally familiar wild fairy." The little fairy pointed to herself and smiled bitterly, tears welling up in her eyes with relief.

It seems that she and Slime Mom do have a very deep relationship.

"When you were in a lower position, was the relationship between you and Slime Mom like that too?" Lin Ming asked curiously.

"Yes, she was just like you that time, cute and chubby, wearing a little crown. I was attacked by monsters outside and almost died, but she saved me, and I've been following her ever since." The little fairy sighed helplessly.

"So... seeing you like this, nephew, reminds me of the past, of the days when I used to stick to this round slime and freeload off it."

"But now, rather than hoping that she will reset her memories again and become a higher being, I don't want her to just fall asleep forever one day." The little fairy looked at the drowsy slime mother, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to her." Lin Ming stretched out his slimy little hand, stood up, and patted the little fairy's head.

"Thank you, nephew, you are indeed the most lovable~" The little devil excitedly hugged him and rubbed against Lin Ming.

As Lin Ming became the King of Slimes, his decomposition ability also soared to the advanced level.

In other words, the things he breaks down next will have a lower damage rate?
