Galahad POV,
Galahad sat on the floor and yawned, he hadn't slept in a few days now and he wanted to sleep for a few years to make it up. "So you know what he's up to?" Milim asked him curiously floating nearby, "Ah the usual....world domination." Galahad said dismissively waving his hand, unlike Rimuru who simply bluffed about killing every single Imperial citizen just to get through Michael's defenses Galahad was actualy willing to do that if necessary, though he would like it if there was some less exhilarating way of doing it.
"That isn't bad though?" Milim asked tilting her head confused, it wasn't their job to meddle with human affairs. If he wanted to do it then he was free to. Galahad nodded, "True.....but he also wants to.....destroy it." he told her yawning, Rudra conquering the world isn't a problem him destroying it is. Milim rubbed her chin in thought, "That's bad isn't it?" she asked, it was their job to prevent that.
Galahad patted her head, "Yeah.....but wait for now.....we can't afford to agitate Michael....for now." he said standing up and walking towards his seat. "Why?" Milim asked confused, they- no Galahad himself was definitely strong enough to destroy him. Galahad glanced at her but shook his head and walked off leaving behind a confused Milim. As for why? Well he didn't have any countermeasure against Michael controlling him through his Virtue Series Ultimate Skills and even if he did he didn't have the confidence to combat both Velzard and Velgrynd along with Chronoa as well as the Seven Primordial Angels.
Yes he beat them a long time ago but those versions were weaker than their canon selves, on top of that even if he could this world would be destroyed in the process. He yawned and took his seat, well if he obtained Creation Lord Ahura Mazda then that was another thing. Galahad slightly groaned annoyed, he didn't like thinking this much but he also knew it was necessary.
Ramiris flew to him and settled on his shoulder, "So why'd you help the slime?" she asked curiously, Galahad NEVER helps someone out unless there's something in it for him. Galahad looked at her for a few moments, "Have you been...to that city? It's got a....lot of facilities you know, and I love...my comfort." he said with a slight smile, it was partially true but also a way to get Ramiris acquainted with Rimuru since the two never interacted this time around because Shizue was alive.
This would allow him to get the Dungeon City up and running which in turn would allow him to get his men even more trained and stronger when the time for the Great Tenma War comes around. Ramiris faceplamed, "Should've seen this one coming, you should exercise more! You'll get fat you know!" she said banging her hand on his cheek, seriously too lazy!
Galahad looked at her before chuckling, "Fat?" he asked amused, it was a given that getting fat would be a hindrance but it's not like this body even needed food in the first place. Ramiris sighed, "I'm just looking out for you you know? You've been getting too confident lately! I don't get it." she said turning around and shaking her head with her hands raised.
Galahad looked at her confused, "The ...fuck?" if anything he was lacking that! "Did somebody say fuck?" a wild Guy popped in but was picked up and thrown away by Galahad. "Go away Guy!" Ramiris shouted at Guy pointing at her a bit annoyed, it's always jokes! Galahad picked Ramiris up by her wings making the pixie wave around her hands in protest, "Hey, no touching the wings!" she protested.
Galahad narrowed his eyes, "What?" Ramiris asked a bit embarrassed by being stared at like that. Galahad put her back on his shoulder, "What would.....happen if I repaired your.....core?" he asked curiously, she was weakened because her core was corrupted what if it was repaired? Ramiris rubbed her chin in thought, "I would kick Guy's ass!" she said throwing out her hands, yeah that demon was getting to full of herself! Ramiris needed to put her back in her place.
"But that's.....impossible." Galahad said sighing, to repair the core he needed a way to interact with the very soul itself, not consume it but actually mold it. Ramiris sighed with her hands on her waist, "You're telling me." she said sighing, she had already tried to repair it to no avail so she settled with this body. Hey she wasn't one to just sit on regrets rather she just loved to enjoy her life.
Both of them sighed at the same time, Galahad sighed because this was quite the loss of fighting power while Ramiris sighed because Galahad reminded her of it. At around the same time a heavily beaten Clayman lay on the ground with blood seeping out of numerous wounds on his body but Rimuru wasn't one to enjoy his opponents' suffering so he simply raised his hand, "Beelzebub." he muttered as Clayman was devoured soul and all, in other words he was removed from existence.
Galahad looked at this and slightly laughed, most people mistake how terrifying this ultimate skill actually was. While Rimuru uses it to sometimes transport targets to his stomach world, Beelzebub in actuality devoured a target from existence completely removing it. If it was let free this skill would actually go on to devour the entire universe and then some, that was actually true and not him overselling it.
Leon walked up to Galahad and silently looked at him, he didn't know what to say without being rude so he just stared at Galahad...menacingly. Galahad scratched his cheek looking at Leon, this guy was really awkward, "Been a while?" he said? asked? a bit awkwardly, "Yes." Leon replied shortly and silence spread across the place. Leon coughed a bit, "The city is coming along well." he said looking at him, he was proud of El Dorado! Sue him for it!
Galahad yawned, "You want me.....to visit?" he asked slightly smiling. "If you want to." Leon said and walked back to his seat. Galahad looked at Guy who looked at him before they both looked at the sitting Leon and started laughing, "He's embarrassed!" Guy shouted banging her fist on the table. "C-Come on....don't make f-fun of him..pft-" Galahad turned to the side and started silently laughing.
"See this is why you two are so!" Ramiris looked at the two Demon Lords who were laughing their asses off and sighed, these were like children! Frey looked at Carrion who was already sitting down depressed, well he was proud of his disguise but Milim pulled it off and ran off, "And I was looking forward to a cool entrance too." Carrion muttered drawing circles on the table, so much planning!
Frey chuckled and patted his head, "There, there, I think it was very cool. I bet the others do to." she consoled him and looked to the Dagruel, "Right?". Dagruel gave a strained smile, "Y-Yes of course." it was extremely obvious who that was but he didn't want to hurt his feelings. "He's faking it!" Milim shouted smiling happily sitting on her seat making Carrion sigh as his aura of depression became even more dense.
Rimuru looked at the gathering of people who stood at the top of this world, the elites whose very mention brought about despair and fear and sighed, then what were they doing?! This was like a gathering of old friends just messing around! Give him back his expectations! He thought about the fact that they weren't even bothered by the fact that Clayman had already lost. "Are these guys really demon lords?" he wondered out loud shaking his head as he walked back to his seat.
Dagruel smirked, "First time?" he asked amused, he thought the same thing when he first joined them. Rimuru looked at him sweatdropping, what had this guy been through?! Guy cleared her throat with a glass of wine in her hand, "*cough* Well let us welcome Rimuru to the Ten Great Demon Lords-" she was about to announce his acceptance but was cut off.
Frey raised her voice, "I would like to give up my seat." she said slightly smiling, yeah after seeing the devastation caused by an actual Demon Lord with a single punch and even that when holding back delivered a major blow to her confidence. "I'm the same too, Milim basically wrecked my kingdom and me." Carrion said raising his hand, he didn't feel worthy of his position anymore after that crushing defeat, and he lost therefore he should submit.
Milim froze looking at him before she hid behind Galahad, "It isn't my fault, he was controlling me!" she shouted from behind him, yup it definitely wasn't her going overboard! Galahad slightly chuckled, "I think....it is." he said yawning, she didn't necessarily have to go that far. Oh don't misunderstand Galahad doesn't really care about it.
After that began an argument about why they should serve Milim and in the end they won because she wasn't really one for that much thinking and she also understood that it was her own fault this was happening. And so after all was said and done Guy was about to announce it but was again cut off.
This time it was Galahad who raised his head, "Well.....that's fine and all...but if you try to...make her wear whatever the.....fuck that is." he stopped there and didn't say anything more but it was obvious what he was implying. Frey gulped and nodded, ok no trying to make Milim wear that outfit. Galahad gave a content nod, he wasn't going to have her wear that stupid outfit okay?! Call him petty for it he doesn't care!
