A man mistakenly becomes the city lord of the land, conquering all the heavens and myriad worlds.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a "perfect start".

Not long after—

A meeting room lit by candlelight.

There are three figures here.

They are the Demon King.

Three demon kings.

Carrion, one of the Ten Great Demon Kings, sat upright in the north seat, staring at the table in front of him with a cheerful expression. On the table were some strange and unusual things.

For example, there are strangely shaped masks, fragrant cakes, and sizzling, oily grilled meat...

Only after noticing the gazes of the other two did he slowly speak.

"Unbelievable... I never would have guessed! Milim has actually allied with that 'human'?"

"Not only that."

Kleiman, sitting to his right, chuckled softly, toying with an exquisite doll between his fingers as he looked at Carrion.

"They did more than just form an alliance. Milim personally set off fireworks for that human's nation-building celebration, the light of which almost illuminated the entire Jura Great Forest. This shows that it was not a simple cooperation, but a public declaration that she recognized him and regarded him as an equal."

It's quite rare for Milim to celebrate the founding of another nation with such enthusiasm...

No, the demons present had never seen this before.

Carrion frowned slightly, a half-smile playing on his lips.

“Milim is always willful, but she rarely does things like this... After all, for her, ‘interesting things’ and ‘fun’ are fleeting and shouldn’t stay in one place. This shows that... that human, the one named ‘Chen Hai’, is not simple.”

"It's not just 'not simple'."

To Carrion's left, Frey, the 'Sky Queen' of the Ten Great Demon Lords, spoke up at this moment.

"The fact that he survived Milim's 'playful' antics and even won her friendship is itself an 'extraordinary event'."

· 0 flowers requested ··· ········

Upon hearing this, Kleiman gently put down the doll, lightly tapped the table with his fingertip, and a phantom image appeared.

Those were images of the establishment of the 'Chenhai Federation' collected through observation magic.

“Milim seemed very happy… not in a playful way, but in a genuine joy; she probably already considered him a friend, and that… will likely affect our plans.”

"That's true..."

Calion agreed with this.

He, along with Demon Lord Clayman, Milim, and Frey, planned to establish a new Demon Lord and bring him into existence to be controlled as a puppet.

The results of it?

Milim went to meet the 'new Demon Lord' on her own and even became friends with him, a development completely different from what the three had imagined.

After all, Milim's friends couldn't possibly become 'manipulated puppets'.

... 0

Moreover, the identity of 'Chen Hai', who became the Demon King, remains a mystery.

Even though all three of them were demon kings, ruling over their respective regions and possessing numerous subordinates, they knew nothing about Chen Hai.

“Milim seems quite happy. If you want to take action against that ‘Chenhai Federation,’ it will likely cause all sorts of problems.”

Frey spoke up to remind them at that moment.

Calion nodded again.

However, Kleiman had other ideas, but he didn't say them out loud at the moment.

Frey continued her previous statement.

"Actually, I'm quite interested too... because the 'Chenhai Federation' accepts demons such as pig-headed people, dog-headed people, and fish-men. It feels like it's not trying to establish a demon kingdom that values ​​power, but rather... a symbiotic kingdom."

This was something Frey had never imagined or seen before.

This forced Carrion to look at the collected images.

"Indeed... that human, no... that human who has now become the Demon King, has indeed accomplished many things that ordinary people cannot do."

"So what? Are you going to abandon your original plan?"

Kleiman asked the question at this moment.

His meaning was very clear.

“I will not give up anyway. If that ‘federal nation’ has any influence, I will destroy it.”

Upon hearing this, Frey and Carrion looked at the Demon King Clayman, who was cooperating with them.

"This goal won't be easy to achieve."

Calion said this because he had an opinion.

"Chen Hai is... definitely very strong."

"Even so, the plan cannot be abandoned."

Kleiman stuck to his opinion.

Resolving the troubles caused by the 'Chenhai Federal State' is his most important plan for the future!

Chapter 132 Bringing Milim and Shizue Back to Danma, Cultural Invasion of Orario (Part 1)

So and so——

The Chenhai Federation has been established!

The emergence of this new country will completely change the world order of the "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime" universe.

First, the Jura Forest was rebuilt.

The tree spirit Torene accepted Chenhai's order to safely escort the human caravan to a safe road outside the forest, in return for which the caravan would promote the 'Jura Forest Chenhai Federation'.

In this way, the 'Jura Forest' is no longer a dangerous area fraught with peril and overrun by monsters.

It transformed itself into a transit city for transporting goods and trading commodities.

Since crossing the forest directly takes much less time than taking a detour, and there's no need to go through 'Armed Nation - Dovagon (Free Trade City)', a toll fee can be saved.

It is believed that in the future, caravans from various races will prioritize choosing the 'Chenhai Federation' as their rest area.

To put it simply, Jura Forest will become a 'transfer hub,' and the flow of people will naturally be very, very large.

Secondly, there is cooperation among different races.

With the conflict over, the "600" all submitted to Chen Hai.

Everyone follows his orders, which greatly improves efficiency.

For example, dwarves and orcs cooperated to open up roads;

The merfolk and goblins built new water storage facilities;

And there are pioneers led by Krutt who are building new farmland.

This situation would not have occurred in the past.

Because different monsters have different territories, once they invade each other's territory, even if they have a tendency to cooperate, it will turn into a battle and conflict.

The above situation does not need to be considered now.

We all belong to Chenhai, so the only thing we need to do is think about how to 'improve efficiency'.

This has led to the prosperity of the 'Chenhai Federation,' a scene of 'everything bursting with vitality.'

[System: We haven't disturbed you before. Now that the data is being integrated, your current level is LV.246. Transferring, teleporting, and enhancing attributes will not be a problem.]

[System: More than enough.]

[System: This system also recommends starting the 'Human Army Exploring Dungeons' project in the 'Apocalypse' dimension as soon as possible, as the millions of troops in this dimension will bring you a huge amount of experience points.]

[System: That being said, it's impossible for the entire army to enter the dungeon at once, because large-scale destruction would trigger more monster uprisings, potentially leading to total annihilation and affecting the 'working efficiency' of these human armies.]

[System: Of course, you can also send them all at once to the 'Abyss Floor'. If tens of millions of troops are wiped out, their level will increase to around LV.5000.]

"You've really said something outrageous..."

An army of ten million equals LV.5000. Is this value considered high or low?

Regardless, Chen Hai had no intention of trying.

In Chen Hai's view, the army in "Apocalypse" is not a disposable item, but a continuous source of experience points.

It's important to know that with millions of people taking turns, it's possible to ensure 24/7 uninterrupted exploration of the dungeon and the generation of experience points.

therefore--

Chen Hai decided to take a look at the "Apocalypse" dimension first.

After all, I've been in this world for a long time, so I need to go and see how things are over there.

As arranged previously, the Apocalypse dimension contains heretics from DanMachi and leaders of various clans.

They were chosen so that these people could learn about 'modern society' in advance, and then transfer the technology of modern society to the DanMachi world.

Having devised a plan, Chen Hai summoned everyone after the 'Chen Hai Federation' celebration concluded.

"Shuna and Shion, you two stay here and manage things for me. Milim and Shizue will come with me on this trip."

"Huh? Can't we be together?!"

Shion was clearly somewhat unwilling.

But there is no way...

Shion is a very good candidate to manage these monsters.

Shuna is the same; she can be helpful and also assist Benimaru, who was chosen as the 'unit commander'.

"Do you need me to come along?"

Cang Hua, who had been summoned, looked curious and somewhat expectant.

After Chen Hai shook his head, Cang Hua slumped his shoulders in disappointment.

"No problem! We'll manage this country well until the boss comes back!"

Gobuta, on the other hand, looked very confident.

At this moment, Milim asked

"Why me?"

"Do I even need to ask... If I don't choose you, you'll make a scene."

"would not!"

"really?"

"At most, I'll get a little upset and smash the ground in Jura Forest. It'll only destroy about half of it!"

Milim always says terrible things without even realizing it.

These words made Shuna, Shion, Souka, and the others realize the importance of taking Milim away.

If Chen Hai had left without saying goodbye and without Milim accompanying him, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

As for the reason for choosing Jingjiang...

Because she belongs to 'modern society', even though she lived in a somewhat distant era, she can still help Chen Hai deal with many problems.

So after making the decision, Tatsumi left Shuna and the others with the words "I'm bringing you gifts" and then traveled through time with Milim and Izawa Shizue.

Teleportation consumes levels, but that's not a problem at all.

The current experience point acquisition efficiency is enough for Chen Hai to squander freely for a period of time.

"So where are we going?"
