the wind blows as silence merges with the air.

a moment where time seemed to stop flowing. no one and no words were spoken after the big reveal.

Rimuru: *chuckled* hello?

C.retainer: *sighs* one can indeed see through this. but for some people... *looks towards aether*

while aether, he was lost in deep thought.

Aether POV

what....

i thought we were friends... him? A demon god? why...

we haven't even recognized each other for a long time... but... why does my heart...

ahh... i understand.

this is how it feels to be betrayed.

it hurts... the reason i'm here. my soul tells me that he's not that kind of guy...

but my body... it speaks the other way...

demon god? don't make me... laugh...

"why...? rimuru?"

Rimuru: because... it's my duty to protect you and also kill you

i understand...

all this time... all this time we were neither friends nor enemies.

Rimuru: your journey...

"shut up!"

Rimuru: ...

3rd POV

the emotions he once held back are now leaking out.

feeling betrayed, knowing that the man in front of him was the one turning the wheel. it all started from him and ended to him.

Aether: why... rimuru...

Rimuru: ...

aether's heart was slowly overwhelmed by hatred.

even though they were not so close, but those memories...

and his emotions slowly manifestated. a large mirror, appeared behind aether.

Rimuru: this is it... *grin*

C.retainer: ...this...?

Ciel: report. detecting unknown energy coming out of the mirror

Rimuru: lumine... so she finally made up her mind, huh?

Ciel: what should we do, master?

Rimuru: nothing. we don't do anything.

Ciel: but... the individual lumine are now under turn null control...

Rimuru: you're wrong. she's not. first of all, she can handle a little bit of that stuff. besides, after i took back their vision, maybe something changed inside her...

Ciel: what makes you sure of that, master? no being can use turn null, let alone control it...

Rimuru: don't underestimate them, ciel *laugh*

Author: *whistling* la~ la~ la~ la~ la~

Ciel: ???

???: brother... power...

a female voice came from the mirror. a reflection was also seen.

the shadow looks like it's wearing a tiara. it's holding a sword in its right hand.

in response to the voice, Aether turned around. As he did so, his right eye glow for a moment.

two black lines appeared under his right eye.

Aether: lu...mi....n......e

Rimuru: i didn't expect this...

C.retainer: this is... the gaze of abyss!

Rimuru: you know a thing or two, eh?

C.retainer: it is said that the gaze of abyss is some sort of curse from the archon of the void *glances at rimuru*

Rimuru: *shrughs*

C.retainer: just what kind of crime did they commit that made their archon punished them... *shakes head*

while aether stared at the mirror, the shadow tried to get out of the mirror.

???: come... with... me... aether....

Aether: lumine... is... that... you...?

???: lumine...? who... yes... me.... your sister.... come... come with me....

Rimuru: good grief *sighs*

when the shadow finally came out of the mirror, a mysterious lady appeared out of nowhere.

???: immortal she~

Rimuru: return to me...

a white-haired lady wearing a dark blue robe. holding a staff with a crystal on the tip.

Rimuru: takes you so long *chuckled*

???: my, rimuru-sama~ you're the one at fault here *giggle*

the lady then looked around until she saw the cloud retainer.

???: ara~ long time no see, cloud retainer~

C.retainer: *scoffs* Primordial's minion. how did you manage to free her, rimuru?

???: *scoffs* how rude~ i'm no one minion. and i already have a name, given by rimuru-sama.

the lady once again turned around and looked at aether whose half body was already covered by shadow.

???: the gaze of abyss... it's a curse that I can't remove. but...

Aether: ri....muru...! kill.... rimu...ru...I...will... arghhhhh!

???: rimuru-sama, may I?

Rimuru: do as you please *shrughs*

???: hehe. how nice of you... now *looks toward aether*

Paimon: o-oi! what happened to aether! *worried*

Rimuru: you know, i totally forgot about you, paimon *laughs*

Paimon: hey! you're not the one talking here!

Rimuru: *wave hand* there are things you shouldn't see...

Paimon: what... what!?

paimon instantly fell asleep with Rimuru's magic. the only ones left were the cloud retainer, aether and the lady.

???: listen to my words...

an image of moon appeared behind the lady. the moon slowly enlarged, while the woman continued to chant an unknown spell.

???: the moon illuminates the sky. the moon carves light into the corners of the void. the moon...

Aether: *charges towards the lady* arghhhhh!

???: the moon... is immortal~

*FWOOSH!*

a huge gate appeared and consumed aether along with the mirror.

C.retainer: the gate of suffering... one of the many gates that connects to the forsaken paradise, or so the myth tells us *sigh*

Rimuru: hmm...

???: is something wrong, rimuru-sama?

Rimuru: ...no, there's nothing.

the gate finally appeared again, but with a unconscius aether.

Rimuru: welp... I guess there's no need to fight, eh?

C.retainer: huh... it's also said that the gate of suffering holds the second promise...

Rimuru: *laughs* your wisdom is truly amazing...

C.retainer: that's should've been my line *glances at Rimuru*
