Tensura: Rimuru Is a Girl (Translation)

Chapter 29: Return to Tempest.

In the empty room, or rather, in a different dimension, there was a person lying sideways on a bed, eating some fruit that looked very delicious.

"Hmm... I've found it. Although it took some time to reach its dimension, the important thing is that I now know its location."

As he ate more fruit, he continued speaking.

"But... Kuhuhu... I desire the power within its body. If I obtain it..."

He grinned, and that grin soon erupted into an echoing laugh.

There was no one else in the room—only him.

"I can easily defeat those three bastards."

As the fruit in his hand was crushed, his face lost its grin and was replaced by anger.

"I will never forget that grudge from hundreds of thousands of years ago!"

His face went back to a flat expression as he thought about something, staring at the fruit, like grapes, in his hand and playing with it disinterestedly.

"And also... I thought I had consumed all its souls, but it seems I was wrong. There's someone behind the scenes who left some souls and scattered them somewhere."

Continuing to eat the grapes, he pursued his intentions.

"Therefore, I will not only seize its power."

His face grinned again with a 'Kuhuhu' laugh.

"But I will consume the remaining souls as well."

His laughter echoed in the room. He was Angra Mainyu. One of the four high-ranking gods, he had been sealed away by the two gods for hundreds or even millions of years after the tragedy of the upper god Amaterasu's murder. He was sealed away by the two remaining gods.

Angra Mainyu couldn't understand how Amaterasu could be killed so easily after exchanging numerous battles with him. He was sure that Amaterasu could not have been killed so easily just because of the rebellion of the lesser gods.

But his smile turned into a grin as he came to a conclusion. That the rebellion he faced was due to some intervention from the last two gods.

Even though gods possess immortality, it doesn't mean they can't die. There are many ways to kill them, one of which is to destroy their souls directly. Or to seal their souls eternally, which, while not considered death, can be regarded as such.

Due to the insufficient sealing done by the two gods on Angra Mainyu, after hundreds of thousands of years, he could actually break free from this seal.

However, since nothing had piqued his interest, even if he were to escape and fight again, only defeat would await him. Even though he believed that the two gods would not be able to kill him.

Angra Mainyu was the most powerful evil god among the three high-ranking gods. But it would be troublesome to fight alongside the two gods.

And now, he had finally found something.

That is...

The power within the body...

"Rimuru, are you done?"

"Ah! I'm finished. So for now, we'll proceed with the preparations."

After getting permission from Yuki, who was also quite curious about the tournament I organized, I brought the kids along, and Yuki would join us later. My business discussion with Mjormaile was also completed. He would come to Tempest in a week. Even though I offered to teleport him, he said he had some preparations to do. So I just nodded.
