Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 239: Justice and Contradiction

Fixing her gaze on the man approaching her, Chloe reflexively took her stance.

He felt somewhat guilty, seeing how excited the man was.

He thought that, if he was looking forward to their fight so much, he would like to take it seriously.

It didn't matter if Veldora challenged Chloe in her original form, the results wouldn't change.

Chloe's fighting style revolves around the sword and no matter who the opponent is, it won't change.

His weapon, shaped uchigatana (variation of katana), is a sacred weapon at the level of a God.

This sword had been with Chloe for a long time and was now on par with one of the best magic swords, 'The World'.

It was constantly protecting Chloe, like a part of her body.

It was a supreme sword, one that could even cut through spiritual beings.

However

But the current Chloe can't even fight Veldora properly.

It was because she was under Lucia 'Regalia Dominion' Lucia and had lost her free will ……

◆◆◆

After acquiring Chloe's body, Lucia was at the peak of her glory.

He had fully placed Velzado under his command and fought against Velgrynd.

Guy is troublesome but at Lucia's current strength, he feels that he won't have any problems even if he faces Guy and Veldora together.

And in reality, Veldora could do nothing to him.

He got a sword from Guy, but his skills were not good at all.

No, it's just that Lucia is too strong.

After completely making Chloe's sword skill his own, he could read Veldora's every move.

Extraordinary power – it is the true value of Hero Chloe, thought Lucia.

And that's not all.

Affinity with his seraph energy and Supreme Skill: The King Sariel's expectations were strangely high.

Lucia's real body is perfectly protected by Ultimate Skill: Justice King Michael's Castle Guard.

And now, he had obtained the Ultimate Skill: The Absolute Severance King Sariel's Hope.

Highest defense and major offense.

Lucia, as a Manas, has the wisdom to uncover the secrets of skill.

And that was why he could think of a way to combine these two ultimates into one.

–It would be fine if I put the Infinite Prison into Absolute Severance. In the first place, he had Castle Guard for defense so there was no need to worry–

That's what Lucia thinks.

He'll make Chloe into his sword and put her in Justice King Michael.

If he did that, he would become a being with the strongest defense and attack in a single body – absolute perfection.

Moreover, Infinite Prison was originally not an ability for defense.

It is the ability to seal spiritual beings, which are difficult to kill.

(It looks like hero Chloe used it as a defensive skill because she was inexperienced as a human and could not fully master that skill but. I can use them completely, but why do something half-and-half like seal them? I will completely destroy my enemies. That's right – under the name of justice, I will exterminate the enemies of the Gods!)

And that thought process was what made Lucia decide to eliminate the Infinite Prison.

–And finally opened the forbidden door–

Although Lucia knew about it, because she had the secret wisdom of profound skills …

The fact that skill, the Infinite Prison, was a skill for the sake of sealing.

Just like how Pandora's Box which has all the evils of the world is trapped inside it, deep in Chloe's heart, such a crime is sealed.

Once released, it would bring chaos and disaster to the world.

The reason why Ramiris tried to block her when Chloe from the future united with Chloe from the past was because of this.

This crime has experienced various types of defeats while traveling repeatedly. Chloe continued to keep her tightly shut with her strong will.

However, such feelings grew in Chloe's heart and gave birth to a disgusting personality.

"If you don't wake the sleeping child, I'll be your opponent ……"

Those are Chloe's words.

Leaving those words behind, Chloe's consciousness changed.

If Chloe is the hero of redemption who bears all the failures of mankind, she is also the hero of the god-killer who hates human sins and curses them.

A creature that isn't Chloe in the meantime becomes Chloe.

Without a shred of mercy, judge all things.

His name is, 'Manas' Chronoa.

Now, as the seal was released, it was released from the heart prison.

Although they were exactly the same beings, their level of strength was in a completely different dimension.

Even Yuuki's skill (Order /Wish of Three), which binds Chloe to that point, is cut off.

No living thing can seal Chloe now.

After all, the flawless creature Lucia was talking about, was actually Chloe.

–However, this Chloe will not lose to evil.

Unshakable will — Shizue's Fragment and Hinata's heart also live in Chloe's heart.

And most importantly, Rimuru is here now.

Chloe can understand well that Chronoa is none other than the other side of herself.

He had just received Chronoa in advance and completely merged both himself.

Now that Chronoa is freed and accepted by Chloe, Hope King Sariel disappears into Chloe's heart, having already completed her mission.

With all her abilities can be used by Chloe.

“Justice – What exactly is justice? Is that something subjective, your foundation? If so, then you are not my enemy– ”*

Lucia felt like she heard Chloe's voice.

(Don't mess with me! Justice is the only eternal thing!)

He tried to retaliate but it didn't work.

In a few moments, Lucia's consciousness fell into complete darkness …

It was the work of Chloe's spiritual world.

With Chloe's death knife – Absolute Severance – Lucia's consciousness is severed without allowing any resistance.

And like this, the fight in the North is over.

◆◆◆

Velzado unties himself and Chloe decides on Yuuki's skills.

Although there are some who are exhausted but basically they are all safe.

“Cou – hahahaha! Looks like this is a series for today, huh? ”

Veldora, after cutting off her entire body, dodged Chloe's final sword attack barely and was relieved to know that it was finally over.

And, in the end, nonchalantly insisted on calling it a draw.

That last attack was impossible to analyze, even for Veldora. Worst case, it might have its sister, the nature of Cardinal Acceleration Velgrynd but it is something that people should not think about.

He does feel a bit scared but – you lose if you worry.

He also wanted to fight seriously with the Hero but that was because he wanted to win against him, not lose.

And thus, Veldora decided he was satisfied with the draw.

"Is that so? You look like you really want to fight with me so I don't mind being your opponent after this big fight is over .. ”

"Mmm ?! T-no, it's okay — you don't need to consider. Kuahahaha, I also saw most of your attacks from this exchange so there is no need to fight for a while. ”

Somewhat frantic, Veldora refuses Chloe's offer.

He was also somewhat frightened by the sight of his two sisters towards him, but he pretended not to notice that.

At the very least, he knew very well that he would not stand a chance with his current sword skills.

There is no lie in Veldora's words.

But inside, he swore to brush his sword skills thoroughly and strictly.

Guy is the next person to talk to Chloe.

Returning to her usual male form, she began to speak to Chloe while retrieving her sword from Veldora.

"Yo, so that's your real strength?"

Chloe nodded.

But more importantly …

"Hmm? It seems like there is still seraph energy left. Even…"

Making all of that into her own energy naturally, Chloe had actually taken most of Lucia's energy.

And not only that, the fragments of Justice King Michael remain as the residue of Manas Lucia.

And as a result–

[Announcement:

Confirmation that the three elements, Courage, Hope, and Justice, have been gathered. In addition, the qualification to possess the Ultimate Skill:

Space-Time King Yog Soth. Automatically enable Change .. Success.

Ultimate Skill: Hope King Sariel evolves into Ultimate Skill: Space-Time King Yog Soth]

Inside Chloe, her ultimate abilities develop without her knowledge.

Even the enormous seraph energy was not close enough to activate that ability …

Because of this, Chloe's evolution ended without anyone noticing.

Due to the concealment of the Ultimate Skill: King of Space-Time Yog Sothoth, even Guy paid no attention to evolution.

"It seems so . So, what happened to that Lucia guy? ”

Guy paid little attention to the remaining seraph energy and asked about Lucia.

“I overcame his ownership on me. But his real body was not affected. ”

"Did you let him escape?"

Guy asked with a sharp look. Chloe muttered, "No".

There was a small smile on his face.

In that expression, there was a hint of cruelty there as if–

Or maybe it was all just a hallucination.

Whatever it is, there's enough evidence that Chronoa's remains are still in Chloe after the merger.

Even the method that normal Chloe would not think of, Chronoa would do it without hesitation.

Yet it is ... as people think, not suitable for Chloe …

So, Chloe decided to entrust the decision to Lucia herself.

“If Lucia accepts her defeat obediently, then it's all fine but if not – She will know the meaning of despair. ”

Chloe stated, looking at Guy with eyes that had strong intentions hidden within.

It just shows that his victory is already decided.

And for some reason – is not Chloe who will decide Lucia's final fate, that's what it feels like for her.

"Then it's okay. All right, then let's defeat Velda. ”

“True, let's beat the mastermind – I want to go back to Sensei immediately. ”

Guy and Chloe agree.

When his body ached all over, Veldora would say that he would return once to recover but fell silent in front of his sister's gaze.

It was a very wise decision.

And like this, 5 of the top most beings in this world had started to move towards the celestial world.

◆◆◆

"No way, no way, no way !!"

In a half-crazy state, Lucia shouted while in her original body in the celestial world.

Just now, something impossible has happened.

The simple man has just destroyed the main thought, a Manas.

He couldn't possibly accept such a thing.

While thinking that, Lucia got the optimal solution while still in confusion.

–That's right, I have to get rid of North, everything–

After thinking about it, Lucia regained the peace in her heart.

And then, he turned around and smiled at the person.

With a kind and affectionate expression, he said,

"Milim, I want you to listen to one of your mother's requests–"

The terrifying plan that Lucia had just thought of.

A plan to eliminate Chloe and Guy by making Milim bombard the Northern Continent from a very high altitude with his Drago Nova.

He ordered Velzado, who was under his command, with a Mind Transmission and told him to stop the other three from moving.

He planned to attack them at once.

If he matched his time and made Velzado destroy himself, it would result in a huge explosion.

With the additional effects of Drago Nova, it would probably destroy the Northern Continent altogether.

It might also affect the entire planet itself but such a thing was extremely trivial to Lucia.

Guy, Chloe, Velgrynd, and Veldora.

Everything would be fine if he got rid of these four.

With a huge explosion engulfing them, even if they were truly powerful, it was impossible for them to survive.

Lucia makes such a solution.

"Milim, listen–"

And just when he's going to continue–

"God, can fools not accept their own defeat?"

Such cold comments came from Milim.

Opening her eyes wide in surprise, Lucia looked at Milim.

“I will make you stop you from doing stupid things while wearing my mother's appearance. ”

Milim said frankly with a bold smile.

As if it was all a lie – she was obedient like a doll until now.

"Hey you?! Don't tell me you're not under the influence of command– ?! ”

“Hm, you finally realized? I've been obedient until now because I couldn't think of a way to get past your defense but it doesn't seem like it's needed anymore, you know? I also want to get my mother's body back from you, so let's get started! ”

Milim stated with a satisfied smile.

"What empty mouth are you spouting ?! I have Fortress Guard Justice King Michael. Now, when there are many angels in this celestial world and godly humans to me, my defensive power is on a different level compared to when a weakling like Rudra uses it– ”

"Shut up!"

With one loud rebuke, Milim cut off Lucia's words.

And pointed his fist towards Lucia.

Lucia took care of herself.

In front of him, the Castle Guard automatically activated and protected him.

(Foolish Milim's. It was troublesome that he was not under the command but now that Velda had become a complete being, anything could be done about him. I just need to hold on until then–)

Just as he was thinking about it, a real shock struck Lucia.

Right before his eyes, the Castle Guard was smashed into pieces.

"A-Imust be!"

An unbelievable and unacceptable reality is spreading in front of Lucia.

"Craud? You're stupid, you know? It is as if you do not have an understanding of the skill. Just like a kid who wants to fiddle with things after knowing the secret. The reason why my father, Veldanava, did not give any offensive ability to Judge King Michael …. It seems like you think it's incomplete but it's wrong. The skill was complete precisely because it was incomplete. What do you think will happen when the spear that pierced through everything and the shield that blocked everything are combined? Justice is full of contradictions. Instantly supporting one side, he lost all justice. Absolute justice is an illusion. Such a thing is just make-believe and that is why the father left Judge King Michael incomplete. Stopping it as just a skill to protect, without any offensive ability. Even though justice is powerless without power, it is enough if you have the power to protect. It's complete, with just that. ”

Milim told Lucia, indifferently.

As if to enlighten a foolish student. And then, he slowly extended his hand to Lucia.

“No way, I won't accept it. I would never accept such a thing !! Justice is– ”

Milim's hand touched Lucia.

"Your absolute defense is gone. Before long, your abilities may also be lost. Before that happens, I will perform the final ritual. ”

"Stop! I am Lucia, the absolute believer of Velda-sama and the only– ”

“Lost, from my mother. The Mind Death Break! ”

Without mercy, Milim's destructive ability showed his perfect strength.

At this time, the Manas tribe born to Justice King Michael called Lucia, had received a total annihilation.

With a sad expression, Milim hugged his mother's corpse.

The body had no warmth and now after being released from the effects of skill, the flow of time, which was stopped, continued at once.

It fades like dust.

"Good night, mom. Please, rest in peace– ”

Milim, who does not remember the warmth of his mother.

For him, something like having his mother's sacred corpse was a sin that deserved to be put to death.

He has achieved the goal of releasing his mother from Lucia, who is protected by the ultimate defense.

Now all that remains is to teach the sinner the depth of Milim's anger.

The time has come.

A creature deserving of punishment, Velda – who has deceived his father's name and the corpse of his mother.

From now on, Milim will release the anger that he had been suppressing all this time.

The celestial world would be filled with a gigantic wave of anger of Milim.
