Ancient Gods Reappear After 100,000 Years (Discontinued)

New Ally?

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" 

As Ikbo slowly got disintegrated into the darkness, Thabo and Olga just stood there, unable to move. The being in front of them just exudes such an aura that they couldn't help but being awestruck. 

"N-no way! This being disintegrated Archangel Ikbo so casually!" said Thabo.

"W-we don't stand a chance against it!" said Olga, and then fell down on his knees, depressed. 

'Looks like you overdid it Ciel'

<Sorry master, but that insect dared to harm our sacred city of Tempest. There was nothing I could do>

'Yeah he kinda deserved it for that. Nice job Ciel'

"P-p-please spare us!" said Olga

"Lets see. First I need you to tell me everything that you know"

............

"So that's why we were sent here to take care of this and report back to them" said Thabo, completing the explanation.

"I see. Good job. Now I need you to do two things for me. First, go back and report that you took care of me and the threat is now demolished. Second, I need you to eat this" said Rimuru while handing out two mysterious looking objects. Both Thabo and Olga quietly ate them.

"M-may I ask what are these?" asked Olga

"These are self-destruction bombs. The moment I sense that either one of you are thinking about betraying me, this will blow off and kill you in a much more painful way that you witnessed just now" said Rimuru with a smile which sent shivers down their spines.

"W-we will not betray you!"

"It would be for your own good if you do so"

With that, the both of them left.

"Was that really okay Rimuru sama?" asked Ryzen.

"Yeah. The most important thing for me now is to gather information before taking any action. And for that it will be best that I am not known for now" said Rimuru

"B-but you are the supreme deity right? What could possibly be a hindrance to you?" asked Kay with surprise.

"Well for starters, I am nowhere near as powerful as I was a hundred thousand years back. Due to being in slumber for that long, most of my magicules and energy dissipated. Same is the case with all the other Gods. It was only with the help of one of my skills that I recently managed to gather enough energy to break out" said Rimuru

"I see. You are still the strongest being I have seen. One can only imagine how strong you would have been in your prime" said Ryzen with surprise.

"Yeah. So for now, I need more information. According to what I know right now, this world is in a three way balance between the Gods, the demon lords, and the heroes" continued Rimuru "and the strongest among the gods seems like this Goddess Leila"

"Yeah that is true. The supreme deity Leila, the True Demon Lord Kumbha and the True Hero King Nathen are currently the strongest rulers of the world, with many neutral factions who don't take any side like the dragon king Mahi, the eternal demon Daksha to name a few, consist of the current balance of the world. That's why they are desperate. If any of the existing wild cards changes their stance and takes a side, there would be a large scale war" explained Ryzen.

With that, all of them went silent for a bit as Rimuru thought about his next plan of action.

'Do you think you can locate the other gods Ciel?'
