Rimuru's Restart: That Time I Travelled Back in Time

Chapter 18: The Congregation of Races

After the conquest of the Orcs. Our arbitrator Treyni and her sisters issued a declaration of truce. The coercion halted instantly. Now we are left with the army of both sides drained from the battle.

"The victor of this warfare is Rimuru Tempest and his underlings!"

For now, let's rest, we will have a congregation between the races tomorrow morning. But before that, there is something peculiar within my grasps, this is a Timeline change that depends on my decision.

[Demon Lord Geld's soul has been isolated including 594 Ogres' souls and 1,573 Orcs' souls. It is up to Master to decide what to do.]

You're asking me what to do? "what to do" my ass. Literally, you are the one who told me to not change the timeline significantly.

594 Ogres souls it must've been Benimaru's brethren. But... I can't just introduce it like "Hey Benimaru tada! I revived all of your clan."

And about the 1573 Orcs' souls...

[It is the Orcs who died in battle.]

But you said that due to Unique Skill: Lust. There are zero casualties.

[Wrong, there are Orcs who perished in battle. Because of {Lust} the Orcs gained intense healing capabilities. However, Lust has a requirement. The subject must have a large portion of its material body. If a material body were completely torn off, then even Lust wouldn't able to heal them.]

So in other words, the Orcs that have a completely obliterated body died. Additionally, because of Ciel's evolution, she can disintegrate and refurbish the souls of the perished ones. If she were Great Sage, then these souls would have been just recognized as magic essence. But since Ciel is the ever-amazing Ciel-sensei she was able to arrange magicules from the atmosphere then eventually disintegrate it then reconstruct the souls. All of this is thanks to Ciel. Don't ask me the method! to put it simply we achieve this feat because Ciel-sensei is Ciel-sensei.

But the question is what to do with it. Hey, do you have a suggestion?

[Master can resurrect the souls now in the middle of the army.]

I think I understood the rest now, it is 200,000 Orcs, Lizardmen have almost the same swelling number and they have goblins from all across the Jura. If we resurrected and spawn them in the middle of the army no one will suspect. It is the same thing with the Ogres, we can just paint it that Gabil recruited them from a different Ogre tribe. I just gotta make sure I use {Mind Manipulate} before dispatching them. 

Okay, everything added to our manpower is a positive thing. And Ciel has the approval to, no?

But the main issue right now was Demon Lord Geld. I cannot name that Geld "Geld" if Geld is still alive.

[That is not an issue, we can just erase the name of the Orc of Cataclysm its name.]

That could be true, but Orc of Cataclysm is more powerful than Geld. Frankly, I want Geld to be the leader of the Orc Race but with their king alive I doubt he'll lead.

[Again, that is not an issue we can just strip his memories off and all of his powers. Therefore the Orc of Cataclysm will become a normal Orc with no memories of his past life. While his son Geld will lead.]

M-mm, you just have all of the answers, don't you? then let's go with that.

It is a bit cruel to strip him of his memories, but who knows. The Lord of the Orcs may be re-awakened someday. Plus, we are talking about the former Geld here. He doesn't care about himself, he just wanted to feed the hunger of his brethren it is his own selfishness that he took that responsibility all into his shoulder. While my selfishness will forcefully let Geld witness the prosperity of the Orcs. I cannot just let him pass away and transfer all of the burdens of the Orcs to me, at least, do some constructional duty for me.
