Kapitel 85: 85: The new rumour

Rimuru sat near the balcony as she looked at the night sky. On her hand was Milim who was sleeping peacefully.

She was finally alone. Veldora and rest had departed to their rooms to get some rest. Like her they too were tired.

While Rimuru was gazing at the night sky she suddenly felt a massive influx of souls coming towards her. It took her a moment to realise that these are the dead humans who recently suffered under Primordials.

Normally when Demons kill humans they devour their souls almost instantly. Since souls could help them grow stronger, Demons go on a rampage just for souls. This is a basic instinct for them. But Guy and the rest didn't even touch them as they sent everything towards Rimuru.

Rimuru was satisfied with their work so made a mental note to reward everyone later. Maybe she should evolve some demons who have the qualifications.

While she was thinking about this she felt another in flux of souls coming from another direction. Using her senses she realised it came from the direction the eastern emperor is. It seems Rudra and Dino have also started their hunt.

Unlike demons humans and angels do not have authority to get stronger by souls. So unless they would collect the souls themselves by some method it usually goes to the Voice of the World. And Rimuru who is incharge of souls could feel it if the normal flow is disrupted.

" With the speed they are going at I think everything would be over today " Rimuru murmured as she felt deep into thought.

This incident would shake the whole Cardinal world. And that is something everyone knew. But no one other than a few people who were present at that time knew the full story. The High Humans and the rebels didn't know that Veldanava and Lucia's supposed death would be the catalyst for their doom. But soon everyone would find the ina and out of this sooner or later.

And Rimuru didn't want to tarnish Veldanava's reputation as God. To a normal person God being killed by some humans is utter blasphemy. And Rimuru didn't want this incident to destroy her brother's reputation.

Due to her interference the true dragons didn't have a terrible reputation as they did earlier. At least Veldora didn't as he was mostly living here.

While she was thinking about this Ciel came towards her with two cups of hot chocolate. She gave one to Rimuru and took a seat near her.

Rimuru sipped her drink before saying, " Ciel, do you have a way to protect my brother's dignity. While we killed off most of the responsible people we still can't hide the truth forever. "

Ciel contemplated for a bit before saying, " Master, would you like to seal everyone's memories about Veldanava? That way until he is resurrected his dignity as God would not be tarnished. "

" No, that would be too cruel. Even if you managed to do that, how would one explain to Milim who her dad is? And those Dragon faithful would completely lose their hope if they suddenly realise that they can't remember their god. " Rimuru disagreed with her immediately.

Erasing someone's identity is too scary. Especially when they are people who depend on that person. The Dragon faithful who are Milim's future subordinates are people who worshipped the true dragons and by that she meant Veldanava.

When they suddenly lose that faith their whole lives would be a mess. They would lose their meaning and do something drastic. Hinata is a prime example of this. When she found out about Luminus's true identity she rushed towards to fight a true demon lord.

" Then Master I have another solution but I am very much against it " Ciel said with a bit of hesitation.

" Oh what is it " Rimuru asked curiously.

After hesitating for a bit Ciel said, " Master, what if you take the blame for Veldanava's disappearance. Since you already have a terrible reputation amongst the general population I think most human nations accept this as the truth. "

" I see, " Rimuru said as she fell deep into thought. Frankly speaking she didn't care much about her reputation since she isn't the Ruler of Tempest anymore. So Ciel's suggestion is very suitable for her.

" Hey Ciel, how would you implement this plan? " Rimuru asked as she eyed Ciel.

"Of course it is by using the demons. I will make a legion of demons attack the some kingdoms and spread a rumour. The rumour will travel towards every place in the Cardinal world. We could also use some monsters to make it more reliable. With Master's reputation as the Chaos Creator the probability of this plan succeeding is 95 %. "Ciel said as if it was a matter of fact.

" Will this work? You know when we first did this we had the support of Dwargen, Blumund and "Sorcerer's Dynasty" Sarion's help. " Rimuru asked in a worried tone.

She could still remember that when Tempest was first attacked they used a similar strategy to put the blame on Veldora. While this time they were doing the opposite, the operation wasn't easy . And that operation was successful largely due to the efforts of Dwargen, Blumund and "Sorcerer's Dynasty" Sarion.

"Worry not Master, I will handle it " Ciel said confidently.

" Ok Ciel I will leave it to you " Rimuru said as she nodded her head. She trusts Ciel's ability. After all this is her partner who we are talking about .

"Ok Master " Ciel nodded as she left to do her duties. Although she didn't like to make her master's reputation more terrifying she would begrudgingly do it since it is the only way.

After she walked out the house she teleported herself to where Sophia the Pink Primordial is. Looking around she saw that demons are still massacring the high humans.

Ciel's presence was instantly noticed by everyone. Sophia who came near her and knelt down as she asked, " We greet Ciel sama. May I ask why you came to the battle ground. "The demons also knelt following their progenitors' lead.

Ciel looked at her and said , " The plan has been changed a little. I want you to spread a rumour with your legion. "

" If I may ask what would be that " Sophia asked, still kneeling.

" I want you to spread a rumour that Veldanava the God of the Cardinal World has gone into seclusion after he was fatally wounded by the Chaos Creator . The demons and monsters who are subjects of the Chaos Creator are celebrating their victory by massacring the residents of this world. " Ciel said, shocking everyone.
