Rimuru's POV

"Lord Chronos was the previous God of Time. He retired a few centuries ago and trained me to be his successor. But, unfortunately, someone else managed to get his legacy." The girl said with teary eyes.

"Anyways. I am not interested in that. Who are you? And why are you attacking us?" Ciel asked.

"Ummmm... I am Rosalia, a student of Lord Chronos, a Second Era God. It's not like I wanted to attack you, but you were bullying the people, so..."

"We were bullying them? They were the ones who pointed their guns at us, so dear just kindly replied to them." Ciel said with a frightening smile which completely shut down anything that Rosalia wanted to say.

"Well,*cough*, let's talk about the matter at hand. Do you know anyone named Finn or Rizzete?" I ask Rosalia, trying to get the information for which we came here.

"Lord Finn? He is the God of this world, isn't he? If you want to meet him, I can take him to you." Rosalia replied.

"Is that so? Much obliged. Please lead the way." I say as Rosalia leads us through the stopped world towards the castle. Now that I think about it, no one has come to us despite the fact that Suspended World was used. Could it be that no one in this world is capable of moving in the Suspended World?

Once we make it into the castle, Rosalia leads us to a room which appeared to belong to her.

"Um... Could you please stop the Suspended World?" Rosalia looked at Ciel timidly.

"Very well. No need to be so scared. I won't hurt you." Ciel said as stopped the Suspended World and time began to flow yet again. Rosalia then chanted something and a portal opened up. As soon as we crossed the portal, we seemed to be in another castle. But, we were definitely in another place quite far from where we were as there was a hailstorm going on outside.

"Lady Rosalia, who are they?" A guard who was stationed inside the room we teleported into asked.

"They are my guests. Where is Rizzete right now?"

"Lady Rizzete should currently be in the training grounds with Lady Astrid and Lord Finn." The guard said with a bow before opening the door for us.

"Alright. Thank you."
"Not all all."

After that, Rosalia led us towards the training ground, which was an open space about a kilometre long and two kilometres wide.

"Rosalia! What brings you here? Weren't you at the Belfrost Empire? Huh? Why is Rimuru and Ciel with you?" The last line by Rizzete felt forced. Well, I can't blame her, after all, this world, that once belonged to them, now belongs to me. 

"She brought us here because we had something to discuss with you and Finn." I say as I look at Finn who was busy fighting against Astrid.

"Should I-" Rizzete was about to stop them, but I spoke up.
"No need. Let them finish." I say.

We just stand there, looking at Finn, who was only using his sword skills and his brute strength to fight. Meanwhile Astrid skillfully countered him, but she failed to gain the momentum. We contained to stand there, looking at the two fight.

3rd Person POV
In an alternate Dimension...

In an alternate world, Cyrus stood alone, face to face with a golden haired man. It was impossible to deduce anything about him apart from his golden hair and eyes. His left eye had a clock in it, which continues to tick along with time. Yet, right now, that clock was still, as if the time itself had stopped.

Rather, that was the exact thing that happened. As Rosalia, Ciel and Rimuru were in Suspended World, both Cyrus and the man were observing.

"Thank the stars that you did not teleport here directly. If he had managed to find out about this place, I would have personally killed you." The man said to Cyrus in a dominant time. To this, Cyrus just shrugged. Whether he was lucky that he took a stop in Finn's world or was it something he planned? Nobody knows. But it is facts that he managed to avoid the study possible scenario.

"Well, even if he does find out about this place, what's the problem? He is a God as well." Cyrus asked to which the man just stared at him.

"I don't know what impression you have of him, but never, And I mean never, reveal any secrets about us. He is not just any God. He is-"

"I know. I know. He is the first Seventh Era Soul. Yeah yeah. Knox already told us that."

"No! You idiot! He is not only the first Seventh Era Soul, but also one of the Seven Chaos Lords."

Rimuru's POV

As the fight comes to an end, it is Astrid who falls to the ground with a thud. Finn was also covered in injuries, but those injuries were also recovering at a very quick pace. And till the time he landed and made his way to us, aap of his injuries had been healed.

"So? To what do I owe the honour of visiting us?" Finn asked in a sarcastic tone.
"Nothing much. I was just thinking what I should do with this world."

"What's there to ask? It's your-" Finn suddenly stopped midway.

"Let's talk somewhere else." Finn said as he led us inside the castle. I turned around to see that a few maids were helping Astrid up. Looks like she wasn't forgotten atleast.

We followed Finn to a meeting room and settled down.

"So. As I was saying. There is nothing much to discuss. You can do whatever you want to do. There's not much we can do about it. I know you aren't here to discuss anything. Rather, you are here to tell us what you have decided. So quickly get it over with."

"Are you sure you should be taking like that with someone who has complete control over everything you have known?"

"It doesn't matter anymore. I have already lost everything. My parents, my ideals and now even my rights over this world. Now I am nothing more than a man who has had his dreams shattered." Finn said with a sad smile.

"Hmm... I have no clue what you are thinking but, right now, I have no intention to do anything with this world. I just came here to tell you that you are free to do whatever you want. But, the same can't be said for the future. Who knows maybe ten thousand years into the future, I might change my mind." I say as I stand up.

"Let's go Ciel." Ciel follows me and we both teleport back to our world. I have already achieved much more than I had planned to.

"You noticed it, right?" I asked Ciel and she nodded in confirmation.
"Whoever was observing us was atleast on the same level as Veldanava or higher."

"Well, I am pretty sure I can guess who it was, but I would rather not make any conclusions."

"Well, let's return to the paperwork at hand. There's a lot left of that paperwork." Ciel said nonchalantly as she completely sealed my fate.

"Fine. It's not like I can say no anyways."
