Archangel’s Domination

I could recover relatively easy from the sleep mode this time.

Or rather, it would be more accurate to say that the connection to my clone was cut.

My main body was still hiding in『Imaginary Space』. Even if one of my parallel existences spent too much power, it turned out that there was no effect on the main body.

I guess I could say that we had carried out an unplanned experiment this time.

In truth, the main body wasn't affected only because Ciel had cut off the connection.

She really is a reliable partner.

So, it was normal that I woke up so quickly.

I just have to reconnect with the orb once more.

I was being carried to the control room when I woke up.

It seemed everyone had promptly escaped from the subspace.

I guess that’s expected since there’s no more business there.

Thanks to my energy being deprived by Gaia, my presence was faint.

I figured that it would be fine since I didn't need to worry about Velda noticing me like this.

My main body was recovering energy in『Imaginary Space』.

It felt really weird having two consciousnesses at the same time.

Well, I had to start getting used to it.

After all, it was very convenient.

For argument’s sake, even if Velda had tried to seal the labyrinth when he noticed my presence, I could now grasp Velda’s present position with my real body and『Multiple Parallel Existence』.

Being able to be in two places at once is more convenient than I imagined.

I didn't think I really had to worry about being discovered, but I preferred to avoid trouble as much as possible.

I didn't want to alert Velda of my presence yet, since I wanted to catch him off guard when I took action.

For better or worse, the clone I was possessing through the orb had an energy level close to that of a human, since the majority of its strength hadn’t recovered yet.

I decided to make use of this state and let the connection of the energy with my main body remain blocked.

The clone could also recover its energy naturally, but I also suppressed that.

With this, I can appear in front of everyone without worries.

Gaia was laying on top of my stomach.

He should have grown with an elongated large body about 20m long, but it seems he had reverted to his 50cm long minidora form now. Apparently, he still can’t humanize so he reverted to his previous form.

It was really interesting to see whether he would become a male or a female. However, I figured it would take a while for that to be shown.

It seemed I woke up right when I was about to be laid down on a chair.

I got up from the chair and caressed Gaia.

「Rimuru-sama, you have woken up?」

Noticing my movement, Diablo asks me reverently, I nod and answer him with「Yeah」.

And then, I received the explanation about what happened while I was unconscious.

　　　　　　◇◇◇

Several things had occurred after I went to sleep mode.

First off, something happened to Gaia.

When I named him Velgaia, his power stabilized into a “True Dragon” class and he awakened a fearsome ability.

――Inherent Skill『All Creation Embodiment[1]』――

It was a special skill that combined『Arms Creation[2]』and『Material Transformation[3]』 that the demons use.

However, its scale and quality are on a different level.

It is an outrageous ability comparable with Ramiris’『Labyrinth creation』.

After all, it can be said that it has an incredible power that makes Gaia capable of reproducing things from memory.

For example, it seemed that he could recreate 75 floors of the labyrinth that should have been eaten by Zero.

Such a thing was impossible even for Veldora-san, his older brother. Gaia may have surpassed his older brother.

Well, his maximum energy was still no match for the other True Dragons. He was still a child after all. I looked forward to what heights he would reach in the future.

By the way, Gaia’s buddies, our avatars were also amazing.

From the story I heard from Zegion, the avatars, which had switched to auto mode, were wandering around the labyrinth and they even attacked Zegion following their instinct.

Gaia joined, forming a party of five. I guess they were able to defeat Gozurl and Mezurl because their character became very aggressive.

Nevertheless, what were they thinking that make them attacking Zegion?

It didn’t make sense. They weren't foolish enough to ignore the opponent's strength.

Or maybe… Did they attack him because they knew he was a strong opponent?

I don’t think they are that aggressive, but even getting defeated can give you experience.

Maybe they had intentionally sought out the challenge.

The avatars were modeled after our personalities, so it wasn't that surprising.

No matter how you slice it, Milim, Veldora, and Ramiris were a very aggressive bunch.

But I had thought at least I was a pacifist.

「The first attack came from Rimuru-sama’s avatar, the Ghost. Immediately after the smokescreen from the flames there was a strike from the ceiling by the Slime. As I flinched, Gaia increased the gravity and the Skeleton and the Living Armor launched their Rush Attack.
Their coordination was splendid.」

Zegion praised them by saying these words.

I am shocked to hear how hyper my avatar’s personality was.

Or rather, I’m surprised that they became strong enough to earn Zegion’s praise.

Well, it seems it was a difficult fight because Zegion was careful to not destroy our avatars.

Ramiris and the others gleefully said 「Naturally!」. Oh well, it was only Ramiris who was so excited when we were using the avatars, so it might not be surprising if her memory had taken them over.

Because guessing from how Ramiris’ personality is, they probably lost their self-control.

She’s too pitiful for me to throw out a tsukkomi.

Anyway, the fact that they impressed Zegion was praiseworthy enough.

With Gaia restoring the labyrinth, the labyrinth inside returned back to its normal mode.

Everyone who was evacuated prepared to return to their respective floors.

Although the battle zone was desolated, Ramiris could easily restore them.

So much for a so-called invasion. The damage was negligible.

It ended in a total victory for the Labyrinth Defense Team.

But, this wasn’t the end. There were still 600,000 soldiers from the angel army waiting in the sky.

Before I woke up, they had been asking each other ”Who will go to intercept the angels in the sky?”.

Since everyone was so motivated, they couldn't decide who should do the honours.

I was again reminded that Tempest was full of Battle Maniacs.

When I asked Benimaru, he seems to have taken countermeasures for the time being.

As he didn’t know how the interception inside the labyrinth would end up, he had prepared ambush troops.

It seems the plan was to wait for Kumara’s return and then have her and her subordinates who are hiding in the forest to attack together.

But, because things have progressed better than he expected, the remaining hot-blooded people made a fuss.

Their leader was Apito.

She looks unsatisfied because she had been interrupted in the middle of tormenting Dino.

In the end, it was decided that Apito will be the one who would head out.

This was all what they had decided before I woke up.

The meeting continued and the decision was left up to me.

There were a lot of other people who wished to participate too.

Trainee, the dryad, and her sisters who were entrusted with the labyrinth's management, and the hundreds of treants, whom I gave temporary bodies with cultured magic dolls, are eager to fight.

They desired to crush those who had dared invade the labyrinth, their sanctuary.

They had stopped work dealing with adventurers who explored the labyrinth and stayed cooped up in the city, so they were raring to go.

In short, they had too much spare time.

As they were an “A” rank Majin class full of motivation, there was no need to pour cold water onto their burning spirit.

I listened to their complaints and accepted their participation in the counterattack strategy.

By the way, although Ramiris had accepted the matter easily, their most important concern was about repairing their body

There was some hesitation, since they were reluctant to damage the bodies that I had taken such care into making them or the like.

I just told them that I would make them new bodies if they broke it.

Then, I turned to the four dragon kings standing to protect Ramiris.

“We also wanted to rampage, but we had to prioritize protecting Ramiris.” It was written all over their faces.

While I’m smile wryly, I called out them.

「You guys want to go too, right?」

「But, we are……」

「I’ll appoint Zegion to guard Ramiris, there’s Benimaru here too.

Go rampage as you guys want. You guys don’t have many chances to fight seriously after all. You’re fine with that right, Ramiris?」

「It’s fine! You guys should go! But, as my subordinates, I won’t forgive you if you guys lose!」

Ramiris glanced and happily gave her permission to the dragon kings who are looking at her imploringly.

With just that, the the four dragons would join the fray.

In the end, the angel interception force was made up of three groups:―

The Dragon Strike Corps[4] is led by the four dragon kings, the Demonic Beast Corps[5] is led by Empress Kumara and her subordinates, her eight pets[6], and Demon Insect Corps[7] led by Apito and her three generals.

Moreover, the “A” rank dryads and treants would act separately.

Since the Demon Insect Corps was newly formed, their numbers were few.

However, the three demon insect generals, Spider, Mantis, and Butterfly, seem to be strong corps commanders who not only have the ability to regulate command but also possess considerable fighting prowess.

Moreover, these three generals, whom Apito brought forth, produced their own soldiers.

Although, for the time being, their ability only spawned only low-class soldiers ― it was a ruthless unfeeling army, just like the insects they are.

Apito looked pretty emotionless herself, but it would be rude to say it.

Because they are soldiers created from her ability, it compensated their low numbers to some extent.

It was decided that all of the powerful forces from the 70^th floor and below will participate in the battle this time.

Come to think of it, this time would be the first sortie for the top corps of the labyrinth army.

They exuded a slightly different ambiance from Adalman’s Immortal Legion.

What they lacked in numbers, they made up for in quality, so I don’t have to worry about them.

The Dragon Strike Corps led by the four dragon kings who possessed dreadnought warship-class range attack capability are also participating.

With that war potential, there was no need to be afraid of the angel army whose commander can’t move flexibly on her own.

I instructed Benimaru to cooperate with them so that the casualties are to be kept minimum as much as possible and decided to leave the rest to them.

　　　　　　◇◇◇

The interception matter had been settled.

Next order of business was about Dino’s group relaxing in the labyrinth.

Dino lay on the couch, drinking tea elegantly.

It was as if he hadn't ever been our enemy moments ago. He just acted as if he were at his own home.

And meanwhile this part of the control room is still in a battle state...

Dino was acting like the battle going on outside wasn't his problem but someone else's.

「Hey. What are you relaxing for?」

Seems like Benimaru finally snapped about Dino who is asking Shuna for his tea refill like it’s normal.

Benimaru endured this pretty well.

He put the matter off since he was busy, but as the personnel selection for the interception was over, he now had the time to tackle the problem (Dino).

「Eh? Well, the fighting is already over, so I’m written as a formidable enemy, read as a friend, right?[8]

Besides, didn’t I already work hard? I also cooperated to defeat Zero.」

Dino declared ostentatiously.

The way he was winking annoyed me a lot.

It wasn't a surprise that that frivolous attitude got to Benimaru, if it even annoyed me.

But, it seems even Benimaru gave up complaining as he considered that Dino was still more or less one of the demon lords.

Meanwhile, the two women besides Dino were devouring the cakes.

「Th-this! It’s so super tasty!? There are three pieces left so I can eat one more, right?」

「Pico, don’t eat in such rush. I shall declare that I will be the one who eat the last piece.」

「Huh? What are you saying? I have the right for it too!」

「……Hey. That remaining piece is mine. You guys don’t have rights to it!」

Dino, who was speaking with Benimaru, went to secure his own share of the cake in panic.

Benimaru sighed.

In the end, a decent conversation couldn’t ensue until Dino and co finished eating their cake.

After a short break, we listened to what Dino and his companions had to say.

According to him, he apparently had received Thought Guidance from Velda.

So, although the way he keeps denying any blame made me angry, he didn't seem to be lying..

I could only doubt my ears when I heard Dino saying “Unlike Yuuki’s, don’t you think it’s possible for him to use『Justice Lord Michael』’s Forced Control with the angel series’ skill as the medium?”.

「Huh? So you are saying that there’s a possibility to be controlled by『Justice Lord Michael』if you possess Ultimate Skill of angel series?」

「I can’t say it for sure, but that’s the only thing I could think of. There’s no way a smart person like me is being deceived, right?」

Dino (The idiot) kept saying whatever he wanted.

I decided to ignore him.

But, could that be possible?『Wisdom Lord Raphael』 and『Covenant Lord Uriel』that I possess are of the angel series after all.

If what Dino’s thinking is correct, wouldn’t I have been in a pinch when Yuuki stole『Justice Lord Michael』in the empire capital?

「That’s, just probably though, if you possess demon series’ skill, you can resist it, I guess?

Although I think you can’t do it unless you completely mastered the skill and are aware of it.」

Hmm, I see.

I guess it does sound coherent if you think about it in that way.

《That’s right. Please bear in mind that since I had deployed Multiple Barrier of『Gluttonous Lord Beelzebuth』 and『Covenant Lord Uriel』, it became possible to defend against any kind of physical or mental attack before it even happens.》(Ciel-sensei)

I see, if that’s the case then I can agree why I never got controlled.

However, although I have prevented it without knowing, I guess it was outside of Yuuki’s calculation.

The reason why a villain like him quickly gave up and retreated was that his trump cards were all crushed……

「If that’s so, then there’s a risk of being controlled for those who possess angel series’ Ultimate Skill.

If I say about those with angel series’ skill…… anyone comes into mind?」

「Dunno. I have lived for a long time, but I never had any interest in what skill other people have……

I only know that Dagruel was simply strong.」

At least, if it’s Guy he might know, but I was foolish expecting Dino to know about it.

I guess Leon would be one of them.

Then, that guy named Kondou who was in the Empire. But, that person has already died.

I guess I don’t have to worry about it, as there are just a few people who possess angel series’ skill in the first place.

After all, I possess 2 of them.

Next…… among the people I know, I think Velgrind has one.

《That reminds me, when we revived Leon, I also had analyzed『Purity Lord Metatron』.

Although I had restrained myself from tampering with it without permission, as expected, it seems to be a mistake……

As there was a route of unknown usage in Velgrind’s『Charity Lord Raguel』, I have removed it when optimizing it. Since I added a mechanism in the blank part, there might be something different according to her free will.

At the very least, I think she won’t fall under『Justice Lord Michael』’s control.》

That’s it.

Ciel reported like it was nothing important, but it might be that part that became the marker for the domination.

As usual, Ciel had splendidly gone and done things as she pleased without my knowledge.

She complains about how selfish I am, but Ciel might not lose in selfishness either.

I wondered who she took after……

《……》

Oops, it would be bad if I say any further.

There’s no doubt that she is the most reliable and capable partner.

If there’s someone else who own angel series’ ability, it would be Veldora-san’s other older sister, the “Ice Dragon” Velzard, I guess?

Don’t tell me Chloe has one too……?

《I assumed the possibility that “Ice Dragon” Velzard has an Ultimate Skill of the angel series.

Moreover, I can’t deny the possibility that Chloe Aubert has one concealed too.》

Hmm……

There’s no use to be worried about things that I don’t understand.

First, I decided to contact Leon and tell him to not go out of the barrier.

Perhaps, Guy had anticipated this development which is why he appointed Mizari to Leon’s side.

If that was the case, it might have been fortunate that Guy was in that place together with Chloe, Velzard and also Velgrind.

It was Guy. He would manage it somehow.

Guy was far more capable and reliable than this unreliable lazy bum in front of me.

No, no, it would be rude to compare him with Dino.

…...Although he was unwilling at first, Veldora-san was now headed to that place too.

I felt he was quite unreliable when it came to dealing with his sisters, but he would manage it somehow or another.

At least, I hoped so.

As for me, I just wanted to beat Velda immediately.

I have acquired『Multiple Parallel Existence[9]』through a lot of efforts, but I wanted to avoid dividing my power.

Or rather, since there’s just one energy generator[10], the recovery rate will not get faster even if I divided myself.

The clones all have the same power level, so they would turn out useful if I used them correctly.

Things will work out somehow once I defeated Velda, so I decided to believe in Guy and Veldora-san who are in the northern land.
