(3rd PoV)
'This slime, Apolloyon Nava, is not cute at all.'
Elmesia couldn't help but compare Apolloyon and Rimuru.
While Rimuru seems like a spineless slime with good expressions and an Elf fetish, Apolloyon is very aggressive and power hungry.
And destructive.
She could only chalk it upto him being named by Milim the destroyer.
In fact, there is even a possibility that he might have eaten Eren-chan. Maybe seeing her as an invader, like the Orcs.
A single monster who killed most of the 200,000 Orcs led by Orc Lord, who later even evolved into Orc Disaster.
Forget Demon Lord, he might actually be already at the level of a True Demon Lord, with possibly an Ultimate Skill of his own.
No ordinary Demon Lord will be able to name Noir.
Just because she sent some spies, he is holding her entire nation hostage.
Sarrion cannot survive against Great Jura Federation, even with her own and her mother trying to save it, both having Ultimate Skills.
And even if they manage to do anything to Apolloyon, Milim will do the same thing she did thousands of years ago.
So if a war happens, even if they win momentarily by killing Apolloyon, they will loose really badly due to Milim.
What a headache!
On the other hand, giving him her Ultimate Skill would be a great loss of her personal strength, but there is still her mother.
In fact, with mutual defence treaty, it will be gaining protection of Milim against the Eastern Empire, at the cost of pissing off Western Holy Church and Western nations.
Well, they wouldn't really survive long, given that they follow the cultish ideology of eradication of all monsters, even though their god Luminous is a former Demon Lord herself.
There are many foolish humans in power there, be it the Seven Luminaries or Hinata Sakaguchi. They overestimate themselves quite a lot.
Sarrion can handle Western Holy Church, but not Milim.
Still, the main question is whether this slime will keep his word. He isn't letting out even a bit of his aura, so she can't tell if he is telling the truth or lying.
Well, she doesn't really have a choice here, does she? She will just have to take his word for it.
Might as well see with her own eyes how he takes away people's skills. Especially if he is even capable of taking away an Ultimate Skill.
"Alright."
She summoned her real body, and woke up in it.
"Will you even be able to take away someone's Ultimate Skill?"
"If you don't resist and are actually willing to part with it to save your nation from war, I am sure this will work."
Oh. How sly. Making her responsible if he can't take away her Ultimate Skill.
This slime is seriously bad news.
