That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: Restarting life all over again!

Worm Prince and the Worm Queen

After what Dino told me, I really need to think how to counter those things.

I also need to save Velgrynd and ask her to delay the war with the Empire for at least one year.

First I need to get more information

I go to the 80 level of the labyrinth, this is the domain of Zegion

After I teleported there, Zegion kneeled to me

[Rimuru-sama for you to come to such place, I'm blessed by your presence]

[Hmmm.....Well I came here to ask you some question]

Since I don't have time to chit-chat I chase to the point of my visit.

[I will answer all of your questions Rimuru-sama]

[Alright then, can I ask you about the Worm King Zelanus?]

Zegion was a bit shock at what comes from my mouth then he smiled

[Actually, I am the only son of Zelanus. In other words I am the prince of the Insectar race]

[Pfftt Are you serious?]

[Yes! And Apito is the Queen of all Insectars.]

EEHHHHH??????!!!!

I can't believe it

[Then why are you here?]

If you're the prince shouldn't you be serving the King?

[Apito and I is here because we betrayed the Worm King]

Zegion then tell the story why they left the Insectars.

The Worm King wants to invade the Cardinal World which is this world and kill every other races except their race. But some of them don't want that to happen so they rebelled and betrayed the Worm King. Zegion and Apito is part of that organization who wants to establish peace with the other races. They don't want to invade but lived together in peace. And apparently Razul is the leader of that organization.

[Maybe in the battle against Granbell, we shouldn't kill Razul]

I mutter, but Zegion denied those words

[Rimuru-sama, if Razul didn't want to cooperate with you, then we should kill him. And I would like to do that]

[Uh.... Okay I'll ask you for that if the time comes, but first how strong is this Zelanus guy and can he manipulate all of his dependents?]

[Zelanus is strong, at least as strong as a true dragon. But I'm sure you can beat him easily Rimuru-sama]

EEHH???

[And as for your second question Rimuru-sama. No, he can't manipulate us since all of the insectars are free. And if he can control us then we shouldn't be here in the first place]

[Hmmmm.... That makes sense]

Since Zegion can move freely then Zelanus might not have a skill that can manipulate them.

[Alright thank you Zegion.......Oh by the way last question. Are all of the members of the insectars race strong? And how many insectars there are?]

[As for the strength of the individual, there are a lot of strong guys in our race, I would say. Since all of us are equals we can become strong or weak, depending on our fighting skills. And as for how many insectars there are, there are at least 10,000 of us. But not all of us have a Humanoid form, only the one born from an insectar who has a humanoid form, can have a humanoid form.]

[Ooh, so that means only insectars like you, can create an insectars that can transform into humanoid form?]

[Yes! That's right]

[Then why don't you create dependents yourself?]

Come to think of it, if they can create dependents then why Zegion didn't create any?

[As for me I can only summon dependents from the otherworld, but I can't create dependents that can be strong as I am, since I don't have a skill that can create dependents.]

Well that makes sense

<<Master do you want me to give a skill to Zegion that can create dependents?>>

Eh? You can?

<<Yes, that's easy>>

Then I'll ask Zegion first

[Say Zegion, I can give you a skill that can create dependents. Do you want to accept it?]

[How can I not accept it, if it's Rimuru-sama who's giving it to me?]

[Alright! Then I will give you a skill that can create dependents]

Ciel-san do it!

<<Yes! Creating a new Unique Skill: King of Worms, successful. Do you want it to bestow to the individual Zegion?>>

Yes!

<<Initiating process, now giving the Unique Skill: King of Worms to Zegion, successful!>>

Ciel-san told me that Zegion now can create dependents

[Now that you have that skill, make sure you use it well!]

[Yes! I will create dependents that are worthy to serve you Rimuru-sama]

[Don't force yourself!]

[Yes! And I will train them myself, so that they can become strong to protect you Rimuru-sama!]

[Well, Thank you Zegion!]

And then I leave the place.

I can't believe that Zegion is the prince of the insectar race, plus Apito is the Queen? I look forward for their growth!

I am somewhat excited at what they will become, just thinking about them being so strong makes me more excited.

So for now we need first to solve about the aftermath of the war against Farmus Kingdom

***

I am going now to my office to work, when Testarossa came back to report to me.

[Testarossa! You're now back!]

[Yes! I am here to report the progress for the Farmus]

[Then let's hear it!]

We then changed the location to my office

[So what's the progress with the Farmus Kingdom?]

[Yes! We are progressing well, there's no many problems facing us. We just need to force the nobles to start a civil war. Also the Seven days Clergy tried to intervene but I didn't allow it so before they can move, I already killed them.]

[Eh? Killed them?]

[Yes! Though they're not the Seven days, they are still direct subordinate of those fools]

[Oh? I see]

Testarossa is scary, she even said those while smiling.

[Also Rayhiem received summon from the church.]

[I allow it, also tell them the story how I became a demon lord, not the story of how we beat the Farmus now,but the story from that timeline.]

[Yes! I'll do it.]

After her report Testarossa leave the room.
