(1st PoV)
After returning back Rimuru to Tempest, Milim left.
Rimuru took me to the side and asked, "What's with that strength? You sure you just came to this world, Hero-kun?"
"Yeah."
Apparently, Rimuru's world doesn't have Naruto, since not only he didn't comment on my appearance yet, but he also seemed to be unfamiliar with the moves I used.
There is no other way an avid reader of manga wouldn't recognise Sasuke Uchiha from Naruto. Especially after witnessing the fight.
Well, good for me.
Anyway, Rimuru then started to prepare for going to Dwargon, responding to King Gazel's invitation.
The topic of Charybdis will surely come up. And I doubt Guy would keep my fight with Milim a secret.
"Just say that my skill is [Monster Taming] and I have Charybdis. Even reveal that a Hero is serving you."
Normal people wouldn't realise the absolute difference between Charybdis and Milim. Tensura is full of people underestimating Demon Lords and overestimating themselves. Most people will buy it.
Rimuru nodded.
"Hmmm... The fact that we have Charybdis in Tempest will concern many people. But if it is 'tamed by a Hero', then I guess things will be fine."
Rimuru wanted me to come to Dwargon, but I refused.
It is Rimuru's country. And if someone stronger than him follows him around, especially a Hero, that attention that he should get will be directed towards me.
Instead, I made a Queen Giant Ant my Animal Summon, and started the search for Gold in the Great Jura Forest using the ants.
And while doing that, I started thinking about my evolution into 'Saint', Rinnegan's changes, and how to get Yuuki's Anti-Skill.
According to Rimuru, meaning according to Great Sage, a Hero is someone who is blessed with Light, Dark or Time Spirit. The human evolution is slower than monsters, and it goes something like Human—>Saint—>True Hero
I looked at the Moon Seal in my left palm. Sage of Six Paths can certainly be called something of a combination of Light and Dark Spirit. And he blessed me with the Dark, Yin part of power.
But, human evolution is supposed to be slow. And I haven't been in this world for long.
Maybe it was accelerated because as a Human, I was fighting a True Demon Lord?
Then, there is something called fall from grace. I read some spoilers that Leon was a Hero who 'fell from grace'. I don't know what that means. But perhaps, it's loosing the blessing of the Spirit? Or the Spirit itself?
But, Rinnegan is the solution to prevent that. The Spirits that I will get later will be in my full control, so they wouldn't be able to leave or do anything that can lead to my 'fall from grace'. And I don't think I am loosing the Moon Seal.
Because Sage of Six Paths's will while giving it to Sasuke was to give both his children's reincarnations his powers, even after hearing what Sasuke intended to do after the war.
And anyway, there is always the path of Demon Lord.
Merging with a Spirit like Ifrit will turn me into a Majin, and put me into Demon Lord path.
But, I would like to be a True Hero first. And maybe later a Demon Lord as well?
Well, I want to make Storm Uchiha, Charybdis, a Demon Lord atleast.
...Will it even become that while being suppressed by me?
Maybe I should have it develop an Ego atleast?
I connected to Storm in Veldora's cave. Seeing through its Rinnegan projected eye.
'Oi.'
I thought, communicating with the soul of Storm.
'...Storm?'
Ah. It responded. But is it a Pokemon? Just saying his name?
'Say A.'
'A!'
'B.'
'B!'
'Investigation'
'Inve...'
So it's like a child huh?
Still, it has ego. So it should work out.
Or if it doesn't work, I will just store the 10,000 souls first, free it, and then give them to it. Then it will surely evolve into True Demon Lord. Then I will take control of it again.
While thinking that, one of the Giant Ants of the army notified the Queen Giant Ant, that is in my control, that it found something.
