I flied above the battlefield, watching Rimuru and Orc Disaster battling.
He seems stronger than he was in the anime. Maybe because he ate 100,000 of his own, and according to Treyni, Gozu and Mezu tribes?
[Report: Gozu and Mezu are strong monsters. It is believed that Orc Disaster didn't consume them in the previous timeline.]
That does seem to be the case.
Afterall, I killed Gelmund. The Ogres are with me. And I am under Milim's protection.
So Clayman must have been forced to focus somewhere else to strengthen the Orc Lord, which has evolved.
Honestly, now that I am looking from above, 100,000 is an absolutely massive number. Feeding such a number will be troublesome.
... Since I got Demon Lord Seed from killing 100,000 Orcs, meaning monsters, can I awaken with monster souls? Are human souls the absolute necessity?
[Report: Uncertain. Though it's highly likely that awakening into a True Demon Lord is possible with monster souls as well, though the number in comparison to humans should be higher.]
By how much degree?
[Report: Uncertain.]
Hmmm...
What if I eat Rimuru as well?
[Report: The individual Rimuru possess two Unique Skills and huge amount of mahicules through Veldora. The probability of awakening will increase several times.
However, presence of True Dragon Veldora inside Rimuru's stomach can create problems.
Solution: Isolate the individual Rimuru in separate space and not fully consume him.]
Oh. So Veldora can make things risky huh?
[Using Degenerate to separate Magic Barrier]
[Property-less barrier acquired]
[Using Degenerate to fuse Devourer and Property-less Barrier]
[Subskill of Unique Skill Devourer: Devourer Barrier acquired]
Now, I will properly Devour the Orcs and their souls. I have eaten plenty previously as well.
Oh. I got distracted and the eating competition between Rimuru and Orc Disaster has started.
Should I actually eat Rimuru? Or just Orc Disaster to get Food Chain?

...Ah. let's just do this.
I dropped from above, expanded myself to big, and turned to a flappy shape, covering both Rimuru and Orc Disaster.
"WHAT!?"
"Don't worry, I am here to help! You looked like you were loosing! Don't worry! I am not a bad slime!"

(3rd PoV)
"Don't worry, I am here to help! You looked like you were loosing! Don't worry! I am not a bad slime!"
Rimuru was in an eating competition with Orc Disaster. It was a competition of who will be eaten and who be the eater.
And suddenly, a red slime dropped from the ground and enveloped both.
But hearing 'I am not a bad slime', Rimuru let down his guard.
[Warning—]
'Oh. So I was actually loosing!?'
"Thanks for the help!"
[You are being eaten—]
'I know, Great Sage! Let me focus on Orc Disaster properly!'
[Activating Emergency take over.]
With Rimuru not listening to Great Sage, it forcibly took over, as this is a very serious emergency.
But Rimuru didn't stop his focus on consuming Orc Disaster, leading to Great Sage having less concentration.
On the other hand, Apolloyon was fully focused on Rimuru, along with Nexis. Orc Disaster will come second.
Not only was it a battle between Devourer and Predator, but also Great Sage and Nexis. Two incredibly similar Unique Skills.
But, Nexis has already achieved Digital Nature. And Apolloyon's willpower is completely focused on the task, unlike a certain dimwit who hasn't even realised just what is happening yet.
To compensate for that, Veldora was pumping his magicules out of his prison at full capacity.
"Rimuru! You must not loose the battle here!"
Veldora shouted from his prison, but it didn't reach Rimuru.
Who would eat, and who would be eaten?
[Unique Skill: Predator acquired]
[Unique Skill: Great Sage acquired]
Apolloyon has won.
'Heh. I am a bad slime.'
