Rimuru vs Yuuki –Middle Part–
(Yuuki’s 3rd POV)
Yuuki relished the joy inside his mind as he felt the
place freeze.
Now that he became the strongest, he almost achieved
his objective. If so, he thought that it would be fun to see the bitter faces
of his worthy opponents for a bit longer.
If it was a month ago, he wouldn’t have been able to
fight even one of these difficult opponents directly.
But, he had no inferiority complex about that anymore.
Instead, those powerful people made him feel excited
and the thought of plunging the world into chaos and making his enemies dance
in the palm of his hand would give him supreme pleasure.
However, all of Yuuki’s plans had ended in failure due
to the presence of Rimuru, who stands in front of him.
It had been a series of unexpected situations.
When Yuuki first met Rimuru in the Ingrassia Kingdom,
he had felt an indescribable premonition.
At that time, Yuuki had sent Hinata at him as a safety
measure, but Rimuru escaped with ease.
[1]
It was unbelievable that the calm and vigilant Hinata
could fail, and when Rimuru turned out to survive this encounter, Yuuki
acknowledged Rimuru as his enemy.
From that point on, all of his plans have been crushed
by Rimuru.
However, Yuuki didn’t feel any anger regarding that
matter.
On the contrary, Yuuki wanted to show his respect
towards Rimuru’s brilliant skills.
Yuuki made the decision to move personally for the
first time when the situation on the board titled so much that he couldn’t win,
even if he unleashed all of the pieces in his hands.
It wasn’t like when he was playing around during his
fight with Leon. Yuuki seriously decided, for the very first time in his life,
that he wanted strength.
He estimated that it would take one month for him to
unravel all that power.
Meanwhile, he decided to let Velda be in the firing
line and do as he pleased.
Although Yuuki’s personality was more or less
positioned at the top of the pecking order, because it was a mutual switch of
beings of the same rank, once they switched places, he couldn’t switch with
Velda with just his own Will.
For this reason, this was a gamble for him.
Velda’s goal was also the collapse of the world, but
the end result was different than Yuuki’s.
Yuuki’s end goal was to return this world to
nothingness, but Velda’s was different.
After the collapse, Velda wanted to try to create a
new world with him as its God.
From Yuuki’s point of view, that was a na?ve idea that
he couldn’t hold back his laughter when thinking about it.
While thinking that Velda would fail anyway, Yuuki
gave his last order.
Thus, the result was as Yuuki had expected……
Yuuki was a genius, but he didn’t obtain all of
Veldanava’s powers.
As such, being able to control all of Veldanava’s
powers was a lie.
However, there was nothing that worried him.
Because it was true that he could use almost all of
Veldanava’s abilities.
Yuuki already had enough power to destroy this world.
The Manas called Velda had the knowledge about all of
the Ultimate Skills, but he didn’t have the ability to recreate them.
The reason was plain and simple, insufficient
capacity.
Yuuki had analyzed every skill over a month’s time and
made a selection.
He reduced Ultimate Skill
『
Greedy
Lord Mammon
』
into energy (Existence Value) and
tried to recreate the necessary skills.
It became possible for him to perfectly recreate
『
Creation
Lord Ahura Mazda
』
.
However, there was also an ability that he couldn’t
recreate no matter how hard he tried.
The Ultimate and Supreme Ability――called
『
Nihility
Collapse
』
which produced the primordial energy
needed to create a world. But in the end, it was impossible for him to recreate
it.
Even if he could recreate that ability, he would only
cause the energy to go amok and disappear if he didn’t create a world like
Veldanava did.
After all,
『
Nihility Collapse
』
,
as indicated by its name, was pure
and super dense energy that destroyed everything. A super-tier level ability
that allowed the destruction of the existing world and even the creation of a
new world.
It was said that Veldanava lost
『
Nihility
Collapse
』
after he created this world, and he
was left with
『
Magic Essence Breeder Reactor
』
.
Veldanava was the strongest existence because of this
ability, which produced unlimited magic essence.
Milim inherited that
『
Magic
Essence Breeder Reactor
』
, making her the strongest.
It was due to the byproduct of
『
Magic
Essence Breeder Reactor
』
that she could control Stardust, the
condensed form of magic essence.
Yuuki had recreated this ultimate power too.
Yuuki became a God-Man and a spiritual life-form.
Therefore, based on Velda’s knowledge, he created
『
Magic
Essence Breeder Reactor
』
and completely controlled it.
However, as it was, he didn’t have enough capacity to
use other abilities and became nothing but a rehash of Milim.
He could control the output like Guy, but then he
wouldn’t be able to surpass them.
Yuuki thought as such, so he came up with the idea of
recreating the abilities and put them inside Veldanava Sword.
Veldanava Sword was a crystallization of Veldanava’s
powers. It was the condensed form of half of Veldanava’s maximum energy.
Milim was supposed to inherit this Sword of God
someday.
Hence, such a thing as recreating the abilities in
Velda’s memories was easy.
Yuuki had also disassembled his own Ultimate Skill
『
Creation
Lord Ahura Mazda
』
and combined it with Velda’s knowledge.
Thus, Origin Skill
[2]
『
Information
Ruler Akashic Records
[3]
』
was
created.
He installed this Origin Skill into Veldanava Sword
and tweaked it so that any selected ability could be used at any time.
Because it was tuned exclusively for Yuuki’s use, it
couldn’t be used by Velda.
Velda’s role was to keep
『
Magic
Essence Breeder Reactor
』
always in the optimal state, acting
as a kind of permanent monitoring device.
Thus, Yuuki was reborn as an incarnation of absolute
power that could freely use all abilities.
◇◇◇
Yuuki was only wary of one person.
Only against Rimuru, who had a dumbfounded expression
in front of him.
This annoying
monster
always exceeded Yuuki’s assumptions.
For this reason, there was no need for him to hold
back. As soon as he determined the extent of Rimuru’s capabilities, Yuuki would
need to use his strongest technique to get rid of him.
They were equal in power.
Yuuki, who was a God-man and an Awakened Hero, was
operating
『
Magic Essence Breeder Reactor
』
at its
maximum output, and yet he couldn’t surpass Rimuru’s power.
This was abnormal.
(This is so troublesome, seriously. I had thought that
I would surpass him with a bit more power, but――)
Yuuki was advantageous in weapon’s performance, but he
didn’t know how things would turn out if the fight dragged on.
(Velda, I’m gonna use energy at full blast. Fill
Veldanava Sword with power to the limits it can withstand!)
Yuuki ordered Velda and attacked Rimuru with faster
speed than before.
However, Rimuru easily warded off his attacks.
As if to not damage the sword, both of their swords
were clad in energy which interfered with each other and caused heavy shock
waves, but they were like a breeze for Yuuki and Rimuru.
(He reacted even to the assaults just now…… But, his
reactions seem to be getting slower. Perhaps our swordsmanship is at a tie, I
guess?)
Yuuki snapped his fingers.
At the same time, the world stopped moving. Time had
stopped.
「
Time Stop now, heh? I think
it’s pointless……
」
「
Yeah, I think that it’s
pointless too.
」
「
――You lying bastard. Your aim
is probably to crush my forte so you can fight advantageously.
」
「
Ahahahaha. As I expected, you
figured it out.
」
Yuuki grinned and laughed.
He easily stopped time with Primitive Magic.
There were two reasons why he did so.
The first one was just as Rimuru had said to restrict
emission type abilities.
By narrowing the options that could be taken by
Rimuru, who had various means of attacks, he could continue the fight
advantageously.
And above all else, it was for the best for him to
stop time as to seal the ominous magic such as the annular magic that Demon
(Diablo) had shown a while ago.
It was impossible to activate magic inside the
Suspended World――Yes, with the exception of Primitive Magic.
Yuuki created an environment where he could
one-sidedly use magic while sealing off Rimuru’s magic attacks.
――Burn brightly, O primordial flames!――
Yuuki wished so and simultaneously Rimuru was engulfed
in flames.
「
Woah! How can you use magic
while time was stopped!?
」
Just as he expected, Rimuru seemed to be unable to
predict this attack.
Yuuki continuously manifested phenomena by merely
thinking of them.
Cornering him with flames, sealing his movement by
hardening the ground, severing the space―― Rimuru was toyed around with by
Yuuki.
This was his last resort.
One of the trump cards that he thought surely would be
effective.
However, unfortunately, Yuuki concluded that this
Primitive Magic couldn’t defeat Rimuru.
Naturally, there was a very deep and calculated reason
for why Yuuki used Primitive Magic despite it not being able to deal the
decisive blow.
Yuuki judged that Rimuru had a habit of constantly
observing his opponent’s attacks. It probably was a sign of his confidence that
he could deal with any kind of attacks, but there was more than that. Yuuki
thought that came from Rimuru’s innate naivety as he wished to find out his
enemy’s true intentions and whether they could reach a mutual understanding or
not.
This time, Yuuki made use of that habit.
As he expected, Rimuru didn’t use his full power from
the start so Yuuki succeeded in activating Suspended World.
If he used Primitive Magic in this stopped time,
Rimuru would very likely start to analyze his actions.
Although Primitive Magic was Yuuki’s trump card, he
couldn’t beat Rimuru with it.
Then, even if it was valuable, Yuuki could use it as
bait without problems.
“If I don’t win this fight, there won’t be a next
time”, that was Yuuki’s judgment.
Although he was somewhat advantageous right now, Yuuki
thought that he wouldn’t be stingy with what he got.
That’s because Yuuki’s wish could be achieved as long
as he exhausted everything that he got and won against Rimuru.
My enemy is Rimuru alone
――Thinking as such; Yuuki had
evaluated Rimuru very highly.
Just as Yuuki planned, Rimuru seemed to be analyzing
the Primitive Magic.
Analyzing your foe’s hands while in a fight couldn’t
be said to be wrong. However, being preoccupied with something trivial during a
tight battle like the one Yuuki and Rimuru were currently in was a bad move.
Yuuki had done various preparations since this battle
began――No, even before it started.
Naturally, while he was analyzing abilities inside
Velda, Yuuki had always been formulating plans on how he would eliminate his
strongest rival.
Even stopping time wasn’t just for making himself have
the upper hand by restricting Rimuru’s abilities.
Rather, Yuuki’s aim was to make Rimuru think that.
His true aim of using Time Stop wasn’t for such an
insignificant reason――
「
How na?ve, Yuuki. I gradually
got the hang of it, don’t think that you’re the only one who can use magic
while time is stopped!
」
As Yuuki had expected, no, even faster than expected,
Rimuru seemed to have completed the analysis of the Primitive Magic.
The primordial flames that Yuuki had invoked without
chanting were frozen by Rimuru just now.
Yuuki’s Will was offset by the conflict between fire
and ice.
Yuuki thought that he had no choice but to smile wryly
about this.
One of his trump cards was nullified so quickly, even
though time was stopped.
However, even this was as Yuuki planned.
The katana clashed against the sword.
Both sides fought with their sublime powers.
In this situation, Yuuki had succeeded in distracting
Rimuru’s consciousness even if it was just for a moment.
――I’ve been waiting for this
moment!!――
Yuuki smiled.
Then, as he clashed with Rimuru with all his power
once again, Yuuki put the final phase of his plan into motion.
While enormous amounts of energy clashed against each
other and spread shock waves, Yuuki activated a magic spell formulation without
chanting.
Naturally Rimuru, who had understood Primitive Magic,
activated his own magic to deal with Yuuki’s magic and nullified it.
(Just as I expected! I had imagined that Rimuru-san
would pick the correct response exactly as I had foreseen.)
[4]
Although Yuuki was satisfied, he felt slightly empty.
He could read what his opponent was thinking this far,
but he realized that he couldn’t understand him in the truest sense.
After all, they were strangers to each other, so such
a thing as understanding each other completely was nothing but a pipe dream.
Yuuki felt such a sentiment, but before he could
understand that, he unleashed his last trump card.
In the end, Yuuki and Rimuru were enemies.
Simultaneously when Rimuru invoked magic
nullification, Yuuki activated the trick that he had put inside his prosthetic
left hand.
The arm smoothly transformed and unleashed the magic
circles engraved on it at Rimuru.
Then, the phenomenon was rewritten and converged into
one magic spell.
The Ultimate Magic Arts that never could be activated
by one person.
――
Chrono
Saltation
[5]
――
[6]
The Ultimate Super Space-Time Magic that forced the
target to leap to space where time had ended.
The magic was formed by swallowing up all of the
energy that filled the place and even the raging quakes in time.
Then, with that immeasurable energy, it took Rimuru
away to the “End of Time and Space
[7]
”.
Even all of Rimuru’s clones were completely swallowed
up by the space-time continuum……
If the “Soul Corridor” wasn’t closed, Rimuru’s
subordinates and even Velgrind might also become the target of the magic.
All kind of resistance was futile against the
terrifying and compelling force of this magic.
Chrono Saltation was impossible to be activated by
Yuuki alone.
The reason was simple; it was a compound magic that
required the activation of at least 2 or more magic at the same time. Moreover,
the magic needed to be activated simultaneously by those with the exact same
properties and qualities.
What Yuuki had put inside his prosthesis arm was a
simple ultimate spell formula.
The effect was a reversal.
It was a spell formula to reverse the target’s magic
effect.
Primitive Magic was a magic that reflected the user’s
Will and it wouldn’t just activate because Yuuki understood what kind of magic
to use.
Just by wishing it, the phenomenon was invoked. This
characteristic was the reason why it was called as the Ultimate Magic.
By limiting the magic that Rimuru could use with Time
Stop just now, Yuuki was able to induce Rimuru to activate magic that he
desired.
The magic that Rimuru activated was simple and plain.
That was nullification.
It was impossible to stop the magic if Rimuru were to
try to analyze the magic that Yuuki activated. Given the time differences, the
nullification wouldn’t catch up at the same time as Yuuki activated his magic.
Yuuki thought that way.
Instead, Yuuki induced Rimuru’s thoughts while showing
his trump card and directed Rimuru to act like that in this situation.
Then, just as Yuuki had planned, Rimuru would activate
the magic.
Everything was prepared by Yuuki and he had forced
Rimuru to act splendidly, exactly as he wanted.
In the space where Genesis class’ energy collided and
space-time quakes occurred, Yuuki had used Space-Time Magic: Time Stop
[8]
.
Originally, there was no meaning of stopping time in
Suspended World. It was impossible to stop further of what had stopped.
However, the circumstances were different this time
due to Yuuki’s trick.
In order to nullify Yuuki’s magic, Rimuru had
activated magic that had the same energy but with the opposite properties of
Yuuki’s magic. His magic was reversed by Yuuki’s trick and transformed to magic
with the same energy and properties as Yuuki’s magic.
By doing this, Yuuki met the conditions for activating
Chrono Saltation.
Even if he added Time Stop to another Time Stop, the
effect wouldn’t change.
However, it would cause drastic changes if he
multiplied it.
Bathed in the flow of all time and received the
repulsion of the space that tried to fix itself, the target was sent to beyond
time.
To the “End of Time and Space”―― A void in the far off
future where the end of time and space overlapped.
If he couldn’t defeat him, he only had to put off the
issue――That was the decision Yuuki had made.
Rimuru was able to rival him, or maybe even surpass
him.To fight head-on against a super-level being like Rimuru would be sheer
stupidity.
The answer to that was sending Rimuru to the future
and destroying the world in that chance.
At the very end, the difficulty of the game to destroy
the world, that used to be boring and easy, jumped up insanely, but Yuuki only
felt happiness now that he had cleared it.
Yuuki was very happy and showed a smile from the
bottom of his heart.
◆◆◆
The Time Stop was canceled at the same moment as
Rimuru disappeared.
Without waiting for anything, those left behind moved
all together.
Most of them didn’t understand exactly what had
happened in front of their eyes.
However, the fact that Rimuru had disappeared was the
only thing they could understand clearly.
「
Well, I had sent the biggest
obstacle for a trip to the future. This is a checkmate, right?
」
Yuuki declared while sprouting a faint smile.
Hearing that, Milim sat down on the ground as if she
was about to cry.
「
Rimuru has…… Rimuru has
disappeared……
」
Ramiris was angry by the grieving mutters of Milim.
Without Ramiris herself being aware, her figure
rapidly transformed into an adult――
「
If it’s Rimuru, he will
surely be okay! Let’s defeat him and quickly called Rimuru back here!
」
Ramiris shouted.
Strength returned to Milim’s eyes as she heard those
words.
「
Yeah, you’re right. Let’s do
it, Ramiris!
」
「
Yup!
」
The two made their decision.
Milim stood up once more with renewed strength, even
Gaia, who was on her shoulder, glared at Yuuki too.
Next to Milim stood Ramiris who had grown into a
beautiful adult.
Her hair, which changed color to rainbow-colored,
spread out wide as she focused her consciousness to activate the Primitive
Magic that could modify the laws of the world.
As for the other people――
「
Guess we’ve no other choice
but to do it. He looks like an unbelievable
beast
,
but it would be quite fun to go out seriously if this is our last after all.
」
「
Hehe, it’s really been a
while, Guy. I won’t leave your side until the end.
」
「
Whew. Even though
I
especially got revived and wanted to
see what the world was like now. Well, it can’t be helped as things turned out
this way. Velgrind, if we survived, will you show me the world then?
」
「
Rudra, you idiot. Searching
for your reincarnation is more important than the world. And also…… I think you
should realize that you didn’t get revived, you know.
」
「
Kufufufufu. It’s impossible
for Rimuru-sama to be defeated, but let’s hold the fort in his absence.
」
「
Yeah, Sensei might have some
ulterior motive, but it won’t be useless if we defeat him.
」
Each of them said their respective thoughts and
altogether faced Yuuki.
Then, they unleashed their deadly attacks filled with
their entire beings toward Yuuki.
――Everything was as Yuuki expected.
Right now, Yuuki could use all skills because of
Origin Skill
『
Information Ruler Akashic Record
』
.
In other words, he could even devour energy completely
using Gluttonous Lord Beelzebuth.
Yuuki sprouted a dark smile as the mass of energy
enough to destroy the world was approaching in front of him.
