*•Rimurus POV•*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I heard a knock on my door. "Come in!" I yell out not looking up from my papers in my hand. The door creaked open and I turned my attention to the person coming in. It was Shuna. "Good morning Lord Rimuru." "Good morning Shuna, how can I help you?." Shuna walked up to my desk holding her tray. "Lady Milim, Lady Ramiris and all the other demon lords are currently waiting for you outside of the city. Lady Ramiris said, and I quote: 'Tell Rimuru to bring all his subordinates. All of them."

Ah.. it was time for me to become Ramiris little lab rat for today..

I sigh. I nod to Shuna and place my papers down. Soon, me, Benimaru, Souie, Shuna, Shion, Hakurou, Diablo, Ranga, Geld, Gabiru, Veldora, and Rigurd all head out of the city to the cliff which had a great view of the city. As we walk up there, I see the other seven demon lords waiting for me, surrounding a large piece of medal. That must be Ramiris 'race changing' machine, or whatever she calls it.

"There you are Rimuru!" Ramiris flew down to me as I continued walking up the hill. "Good morning Ramiris." I waved to her after making at all the way to the top where everyone was gathered. I as well greeted the rest of the demon lords.

"C'mon! Let's get on with it already! I want Rimuru to be a dragonoid like me!" Milim hurried. "No! We're making him a Pixi like me!" Ramiris argued. "Milim, Ramiris! I already warned you." I interrupted them. This wasn't the first time and I swear it's actually starting to get annoying.

The two of them shut up hearing my harsh voice. I sigh at their childish behavior. Seriously.. they've lived longer than I yet I have to be the one babysitting them..

"Let's hurry now, this thing seems rather interesting." Guy spoke in an amused tone as he looked at the large metal machine. I told my subordinates to watch from the side with the other demon lords as Ramiris flew up to me. "C'mon now! Let's go!" Ramiris grabbed my hand and began pulling me in the direction of her machine.

I noticed Guy and the other demon lords brought one to two of their subordinates with them. This was exactly like a meeting except all my subordinates are here..

oh gods.. now that I'm thinking about it, I'm a bit scared.. I like my slime body!

Ramiris pushed me into the machine and I obeyed. "What's going on?" Veldora whispered to Diablo. "Master Rimuru was asked to be a test subject of Lady Ramiris's new machine. I would have not allowed that because it could hurt master, but her volunteered to I couldn't go against his judgement."  Diablo answered a bit sad and Veldora look at Diablo with an "Oh" expression and looked back into the direction of me as Ramiris got ready to turn on the machine.

"Now behold! The power of my beautiful, awesome, ultimate, amazing race changing machine!" Ramiris clicked a button and an orb of large amount of magicules started to from above my entire figure. After a few seconds of building up, it sent a beam of that powered magic down to me. I'd didn't hurt, just a bit overwhelming as the large amount of magicules enter my body.

It was a bit hard to stay standing as I begin to start loosing my balance. I feel like faking over.

Damn.. this thing is so overwhelming..

I couldn't even see due to the bright light that surrounded me. The beem was a bright blue white which continued to beam into me. I ended up actually falling to my knees. The power was just a bit too overwhelming for this body. I as well reverted back to my slime body feeling a bit exhausted from the overall power.
