Tensura: The Abyss Demon

Chapter 46

Throughout the years, significant developments have popped up.
These came as a result of Chloe trying to keep the timeline as similar as possible to the ones she remembers, despite the changes the current timeline has undergone.

The first being the rise of the Holy empire of Lubelius.

Luminous took Chloe's advice and created the Holy empire. That chance came during the semi-millennial great tenma war — an event where an army of angels would descend from Heaven and reign destruction upon the world, to limit human society from advancing too far. Sensing an opportunity, Luminous took full advantage of the ensuing chaos to establish her own faith, propping herself up as a god. Thanks to the immense power she possessed as a true demon lord, she was easily able to attract followers. This new religion was quickly taken up by the human survivors who flocked to her en masse.

Luminous decided she would also move her castle; Night rose. It then became an underground capital within the belly of her human one, to sustain her non-human subjects. With the emergence of the Holy empire of Lubelius, the secret underground capital inhabited by her fellow vampires would be sustained and maintained by her human populace.

This was done in order to save the endangered vampire race, whose numbers significantly dwindled due to the decrease in humans as a result of the great tenma war effectively decreasing the overall food supply of the vampire race. While not a great threat to higher ranked vampires who have evolved past the need to rely on blood for sustenance, this development posed a severe existential threat to the lower ranked ones who would have starved to death unless something changed.

In order to save both her vampire subjects and humanity, Luminous successfully created a system within the empire where her servants could live in peace in secrecy within the borders of her empire as members of the church and are provided with a stable source of human blood.

Next was Chloe, who took on the alias, Chronoa in order to travel the world without worrying about endangering the future.

They travelled the world as a hero, occasionally paying Rimuru and Veldora a visit.

Chloe and Hinata would spar with them most of the time.

Rimuru and Veldora learned just how powerful Chloe was. Her unique skills [Absolute severance] and [Unlimited imprisonment] were quite powerful for unique skills. Hinata's [Mathematician] was also a great analytical skill that intrigued Rimuru.

Rimuru copied [Absolute severance] and [Unlimited imprisonment] during his spar with Chloe. He didn't copy [Mathematician] because Rimuru's [Wisdom] far surpasses the capabilities of Hinata's skill.

Veldora also learned alot from sparring with the girls. He wasn't serious most times and just played with them, but using Chloe and Hinata's fighting style, Veldora further developed his killing art.

Veldora's fight with Chloe was so devastating that Rimuru always had to transport them to his stomach space.

While spectating during one of Veldora and Chloe's spars, something significant happened.

Due Veldora's magicules filling his stomach, Rimuru obtained the ultimate skill [Lord of Storms Veldora] after analyzing and consuming the energy of Veldora present inside of the stomach.

It was a powerful skill whose essence is to reinforce the soul connection Rimuru has with Veldora. With this skill, both Rimuru and Veldora effectively became immortal. It stores the memories of Veldora in the user's soul and mind. As long as the user remains alive, Veldora Tempest is practically immortal and since his memories are safely stored, Veldora's death will no longer cause his personality to change. This also works the other way round. It also allowed Rimuru to summon Veldora no matter where he was as well as granting Rimuru access to storm magic.
