Red Primordial Rimuru

21: Time For Battle

—————/ The Past: Nasca Empire /—————

Footsteps slowly trekked across the solid ground. The cool breeze drifted into the warm castle. In a room of the castle, a congregation between three people could be seen. Lucia sat next to Veldanava, with Guy at the other end of the rectangular table.

Veldanava: "Sorry for calling you so suddenly."

Guy: "No worries, we're friends, aren't we?"

Veldanava chuckled and relaxed his posture. Guy leaned back on his chair whilst Lucia remained still on her seat. Lucia's eyes focused on Milim who slept in her crib rather than the conversation.

Guy: "Let me start again. I'm Rimuru Tempest. Nice to meet you."

Guy unveiled his true form; Rimuru Tempest, to Veldanava and Lucia who finally started paying attention. Rimuru's beautiful and smooth sky blue hair flowed in place of his previous rough and messy, static red hair. Rimuru's current attire comprised of a loose shirt and black jacket without the red accent motif.

Veldanava: "Ah, Rimuru Tempest, I see. I'm glad I got to know my own creator."

Rimuru: "Yeah well, that's kinda right and wrong at the same time, and it works both ways but I won't stretch it."

Lucia: "So you... created Veldanava, who created the world. What does that make you?"

Rimuru: "..."

The two of them looked at Rimuru intrigued with waiting ears.

Rimuru: "I don't know. I kinda thought you'd have the answer to that. But I do have the title of 'Chaos Creator'."

Lucia : "Chaos Creator?"

Veldanava: "I see, so you've gone beyond the Voice of The World, and gave yourself much of your abilities and powers."

Rimuru: "That's right. I've also been to the Void for a bit to collect some Turn Null energy."

Veldanava: "What?"

Rimuru: "It is a bit of a stretch but it's worked out so far."

Veldanava: *Sigh* "Well, you can do what you want, besides, assuming you read the future as I did, or experienced it yourself, I hope it works out."

Rimuru: "Don't worry, it will."

Veldanava: "Sorry for dragging all this onto you, I'm sure there'll be some issues, especially from that brazen display you did that day."

Lucia and Rimuru chuckled a little, upon remembering the time when Veldanava was presented on a silver platter. But that wasn't the end of it. Veldanava was shown as that to the entire continent through recording crystals and mailed to Rudra's kingdom via the same silver platter, which Guy didn't label so Rudra's people might accidentally toss him out. This had consequences such as increased violence between all nations.

Rimuru: "That really was funny! But also well deserved for some of your poor decisions."

Veldanava: 'Yeah, yeah, no need to lecture me even more on that. I get it. It's a new experience though, so I'm thankful."

Rimuru: "Hey Lucia, is your husband actually a masochist?"

Veldanava: "NAW SHUT UP! IT'S NOT TRUE!!!"

Veldanava had his hands on the table and his face all red in embarrassment.

Lucia: "I never said I believed it honey."
