In the heart of the Ice continent, where the blizzards howled and the very air seemed to crackle with frost, the castle of the first demon lord, Guy Crimson stood.

Within one of the inner chambers of the castle, five figures sat, deliberating on the next course of action after the birth of another true demon lord.

Guy Crimson, the lord of the Ice Continent, sat at a round table. Next to him was Velzard, the White ice dragon, her white hair flowing like the snow itself, and her icy blue eyes sparkling with amusement.

Next to Velzard sat Ramiris, her presence divine and her beauty captivating. Her transparent wings were glowing a mysterious golden light.

Following that order, Rimuru Tempest, the primordial silver, sat alongside his ever-loyal friend, Veldora, the Storm Dragon.

Everyone present was serious, even Veldora. They were trying to figure out the cause of Milim's outburst.

"According to one of Misery's subordinates who was sent to gather information, it turns out that the king of Ultra-sorcery kingdom of the elves targeted Milim in the Empire. His plans were probably to control her." Guy stated.

"So her actions was for self defense?" Ramiris asked.

"That wouldn't explain why she went to the kingdom and massacred every living thing present. She's just a kid after all." Rimuru said

"Why don't we wait for Milim to wake up so we can ask her what happened." Velzard commented.

"So what do we do now? I mean about Milim, she is still young. Also Ramiris, you absorbed quite alot of magicules, are you going to be ok?" Veldora asked.

Ramiris answered first "I'll be ok. In order to purify all the magicules I've absorbed, I will enter a cycle of reincarnation since my soul has been corrupted. But there's nothing to worry about, my memories will be intact, but my power may weaken and my personality may change. I'll likely return to my original self in about a hundred thousand years. But overall, I'll be fine." She explained.

"That's a relief." Rimuru said. He had come to appreciate Ramiris for her help in calming down Milim.

Guy commented "I do have to admit, as the daughter of god, Milim sure is strong. Also what is that energy she used during the fight. I couldn't tell what it was." He asked.

"That was stardust, a super compressed form of magicules which could be said to be a whole new form of energy, which is used to perform Star-type True dragon magic. Only Veldanava could harness it using [Magicule breeder reactor], but it seems Milim inherited the ability. The skill most likely integrated with Milim's [Satanael] when she acquired it which is why it's part of [Satanael]." Rimuru explained.

"Why can't I harness it? I was able to copy the skill after all?" Guy asked.

"Stardust is a miraculous substance with a myriad of special properties, possessing destructive power beyond that of spiritrons and a special nature that makes it impossible to control or counteract unless its nature is fully analyzed and understood, or one has the factor of the Star King Dragon Veldanava." Rimuru continued "You don't have his dragon factor, and stardust possesses a myriad of properties that makes it impossible to be harnessed. Which is why we can't generate and control it."

"Tsk. Here I thought I could acquire even more power." Guy lamented.

"Don't you already have enough power. You can now generate magicules endlessly, that makes you very strong you know?" Rimuru said.

"Oh dear that's a very powerful and useful ability." Ramiris said.

"Wait Rimuru. Do you also have this ability?" Veldora asked.
