True God In Another World (Tensura x Tbate)

chapter 11 - The beginning of the plan {Rewritten}

Rinia Darcassan POV

Finally, after watching Virion and the kids head back to the palace, I practically collapsed into my favorite chair. Man, what a day. Meeting those two boys had drained me more than a week of fortune-telling ever could. But who could blame me? It's not every day you meet kids who could literally change the world.

First, there was Arthur Leywin. Now that was something - a reincarnated king from another world, of all things. Back in his previous life, he'd been called the strongest despite having a tiny Ki pool. The guy had made up for it with these insane reflexes and sword skills that were basically perfect. Just being around him felt like standing next to a dormant volcano - you knew there was massive power there, just waiting to burst out.

But here's the kicker - in this new life, the kid got dealt an amazing hand. He received a Beast Will from, get this, the daughter of the most powerful being in existence. No more working around limitations - now he could just blast right through them.

I couldn't see exactly what would happen to him (divination's tricky like that), but one thing was crystal clear: Arthur was going to be huge. Like, "changing the course of history" huge. He'd be the kind of person people would look to when everything went dark, someone who could actually do something about it.

But then there was his brother, Rimuru. That kid... I've been a diviner for decades, seen all sorts of weird stuff, but Rimuru was different. Usually, I can at least get something when I look at someone - snippets of their past, hints about their future. With him? Nothing. Nada. Just this endless void that seemed to swallow my power whole.

The weirdest part? He definitely existed - I could see him right in front of me, could talk to him, could sense his presence. But trying to divine anything about him was like trying to catch smoke with my bare hands. It just... slipped away.

And his aura? Don't even get me started. It wasn't threatening or scary, just... different. Like he wasn't quite operating on the same rules as the rest of us. The kind of presence that makes you wonder what exactly you're dealing with.

All I could do was hope that whatever Rimuru turned out to be, whatever role he was meant to play, it would be something good for our continent. We've got enough problems without adding mysterious void-children to the mix.

I poured myself a cup of tea (the good stuff I save for after particularly draining sessions) and stared out my window. Those two boys... their paths were going to cross and intersect with so many others, creating this massive web of change. Arthur, the reincarnated king with power beyond measure, and Rimuru, the boy who existed outside the bounds of fate itself.

The tea was warm in my hands as I sent a silent prayer into the universe. "Please," I whispered, "let them use their power wisely. Let them make this world better, not worse."

But hey, what do I know? I'm just an old diviner living in a hut in the woods. Still... I couldn't shake the feeling that I'd just witnessed the beginning of something massive. Something that would reshape our world in ways none of us could predict.

Well, except maybe Rimuru. But good luck getting any straight answers out of that kid.

Rimuru POV

By the time we got back to the palace, the sun had already called it quits for the day. Art and I were beat from our little field trip to Rinia's, so training was definitely not happening. We were about to crash when we got summoned by the King and Queen - talk about bad timing. Turns out they wanted to apologize for the whole "treating us like enemies" thing and offered to let us crash at the palace while we trained. Nice of them, really.
