"Flora?"
Edolas looked at the familiar ogre girl in front of him, but the gentle smile that was originally on her face now looked so strange. Her fair skin began to squirm constantly, her aura became distorted and chaotic, and her entire body split open little by little from the middle, as a charming and evil figure emerged from Flora's body.
Her eerie face carried a hint of bloodthirsty smile, four thick tentacles behind her constantly twisting, the tips of the tentacles being four hideous giant mouths. Her slender, perfect body was covered in bright red纹路, and in her left hand she held a blood-colored long whip covered in sharp barbs. If you looked closely, you would find that the handle of the whip was completely fused with her palm.
Above her head, a black and white ogre horn emitted a strange and distorted aura. This was completely a new monster born from the perfect fusion of an ogre and Gluttony.
"Edolas-sama, nice to meet you."
Flora casually threw aside her body, which was now only a layer of skin, and gave Edolas an extremely elegant bow. This was her true form now, the 'true self' born from the perfect fusion with the Gluttony Sin.
"Flora, what exactly are you now?"
"What am I? Edolas-sama, that's so mean. I'm Flora, the real Flora."
Flora walked to Edolas's side with a charming smile, the four tentacles behind her wrapped around Edolas's body like long snakes, and a fair finger covered in red纹路 gently lifted Edolas's chin.
"Edolas-sama, you know? Actually, I've never thought about what the real me is like since I was little. I've always simply and blindly admired you, followed your back, and wanted to become a powerful monster like you, and then protect the Edolas Kingdom, but..."
Speaking of this, the smile on Flora's lips gradually twisted, the corners of her mouth splitting little by little, emitting a狂气 smile.
"But, just now I suddenly realized that the me who followed you and wanted to protect the Edolas Kingdom was just a false self that was created. The real me has never had such thoughts. I'm just simply pursuing battle and slaughter, that beautiful scene of flesh and blood flying everywhere!"
Edolas silently looked at Flora, who was close at hand. Her狂气 appearance made Edolas's eyes become恍忽. For some reason, it suddenly felt a little envious of Flora's appearance, this appearance of pursuing her true self.
'Do I really want to block all disasters for all my people? Why am I doing this?'
At this moment, a brand new idea appeared in Edolas's mind, and scenes kept flashing from its memory, those monsters who only thought of praying to it when facing difficulties, those monsters who took it for granted after being rescued by it.
These memories that Edolas usually ignored constantly emerged from its mind, causing its heart to constantly waver.
"Flora, come back!"
"Yes, Master."
At this time, Lu Minghao's voice came from the side. Flora, who was still laughing wildly, stopped instantly. The tentacles wrapped around Edolas automatically loosened and picked up the layer of skin that had been thrown away earlier, putting it on Flora's body.
A few seconds later, a petite, cute, and extremely gentle ogre girl reappeared, obediently walked behind Lu Minghao, with a faint smile on her face, in a perfect maid posture.
"Edolas, as long as you and the remaining citizens of the Edolas Kingdom can perfectly adapt to the Gluttony Sin like Flora, then you will have the value to survive. Otherwise, you will only become Gluttony monsters, becoming disposable tools."
After saying that, Lu Minghao raised his head and glanced at the souls of the ten thousand monsters above Kalandur. He opened his mouth and sucked hard, and instantly the souls of the ten thousand monsters were swallowed by Lu Minghao like a stream of water. After taking one last look at Edolas, Lu Minghao directly took Sally and Flora beside him and disappeared into the air with a space transfer, leaving only the palace that had turned into a sinkhole and Edolas, who stood there with a gloomy face and恍忽 eyes.
"What should I do?"
A few seconds later, Edolas turned its head to look in the direction of the central square. At this time, the Gluttony Sin accumulated in its body had already begun to erode its thoughts unconsciously, twisting and magnifying the dark side of its heart, or rather, its true self, little by little.
.......
Outside the Jura Forest, the setting sun shone on the goblin village.
At this time, the originally dilapidated village had been completely renewed. A large number of hobgoblins and goblin beauties were building their new homes with smiles on their faces, and the top craftsmen of the dwarf race were constantly guiding them.
Looking around, the entire monster settlement was full of life, and every monster was working hard for a new life.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
Just then, a slime jumped out of the tent in the center of the camp, a sky blue slime hopping around, constantly looking around, its heart full of pride and pride.
"Rigurd-sama, you've come today. Where are those ogre族?"
Rigurd, who appeared out of nowhere, knelt on one knee in front of Limuru, asking with a hint of worry in his eyes. Just today, a goblin team led by Gobuta encountered an attack by six ogre族 while hunting in the forest.
At that time, if Rimuru hadn't received the thought transmission from Ranga and arrived in time to rescue them, Gobuta and the others might have suffered casualties. After Rimuru overwhelmingly defeated those ogres, he brought them back to the village. Only now, with the banquet about to begin, did Rimuru emerge from his tent.
"They, ah, they should still be resting. After all, they haven't had a good rest since the orc army destroyed the ogres' village."
As he spoke, Rimuru's body twisted, and in the next second, a cute girl with silver-blue long hair, golden pupils, and looking thirteen or fourteen years old appeared in his place. Of course, this was just an appearance. In reality, Rimuru's transformation into a human form was not only absurd, but also lacked any human female characteristics; he was completely asexual.
"Rimuru-sama, did those ogres say why the orc army attacked their village? You should know that under normal circumstances, orcs could never be a match for ogres."
Looking at the androgynous Rimuru in front of him, Rigurd asked with a hint of doubt on his face. He knew that orcs were merely low-level monsters, so how could they have the courage and strength to attack the ogres, who were mid-level monsters as adults?
"Regarding this, I don't know the specifics. I only heard that there was a demon causing trouble, and that the orcs were all wearing full-body armor that only humans have. As for the rest, I'll ask the ogres in detail after they've rested."
As he said this, suddenly, amidst Rigurd's puzzled expression, Rimuru's body emitted a terrifying aura. His eyes stared fixedly into the distance, his face becoming incomparably solemn, as if some powerful and terrifying existence was approaching.
"Rimuru-sama, what happened?"
A few seconds later, after the aura emanating from Rimuru calmed down again, Rigurd hurriedly stepped forward to ask. He didn't know why, but he had an uneasy feeling in his heart.
"I don't know. Just now, a powerful magic essence reaction suddenly appeared in the distance, and that aura, how should I put it, was chaotic, twisted, and made people feel instinctively disgusted. However, that aura suddenly disappeared before I could lock onto it."
As he said this, Rimuru subconsciously inquired with [Great Sage], but this time, even the Great Sage didn't understand what that aura was. This was the first time Rimuru had encountered this situation; in the past, no matter what it was, the [Great Sage] could easily analyze its information.
"Rigurd, recently, have the hunting teams pay attention to the situation in the north. If they discover anything unusual, remember to report it to me."
"Understood, Rimuru-sama."
After hearing Rimuru's words, Rigurd nodded, his face solemn as he looked towards the north. Ever since the guardian of the Jura Forest, the Storm Dragon Veldora, disappeared, the changes in the Jura Forest had become increasingly incomprehensible to Rigurd.
First, there was the slime Rimuru-sama, who was so powerful as to be completely unreasonable. Then, there were the orcs who attacked the ogres' village, which was stronger than them, and even killed many ogres. And now, something has emerged from the north that even Rimuru-sama finds troublesome.
"Alright, Rigurd, don't show that expression. No matter what happens, you still have me, and today is a banquet, so cheer up!"
Beside him, Rimuru, seeing Rigurd's solemn face, raised his hand and patted his shoulder with a smile to comfort him. Although Rimuru didn't know what that thing that had just appeared was, its magic essence wasn't stronger than his in Rimuru's perception. The only thing that made him care was the other party's strange and twisted aura.
No matter what happens, Rimuru is confident in protecting Rigurd and the others.
"Yes, I understand, Rimuru-sama."
After hearing Rimuru's comfort, Rigurd showed a relieved smile. Indeed, no matter what kind of enemy, Rimuru-sama would not be defeated, and they would always follow by Rimuru-sama's side.
And now, the most important thing is the banquet that Rimuru-sama has been looking forward to.
At this time, the last ray of sunlight in the sky disappeared, and in the center of the goblin village, a huge bonfire was lit, and many monsters gathered together to begin the banquet.
"Is this the place Master was talking about?"
In the mountains nearly a hundred miles away from the goblin village, the Mother Nest of All Things, nearly ten kilometers in diameter, floated there. Countless tentacles were constantly wriggling, and on each tentacle was the head of a human or monster, emitting strange and incomprehensible roars. And beside the huge Mother Nest of All Things, nearly ten thousand smaller, indescribable monsters hovered.
"Papa, Sister, Brother Ysuke, do you like it here? Loylina likes it very much."
As she spoke, Loylina gently embraced the heads on the three tentacles beside her, gently nuzzling their faces like a little girl who was teasing her family. Then, the huge Mother Nest of All Things began to descend little by little. The moment it touched the ground, the heads on countless tentacles began to frantically devour everything they touched.
In the blink of an eye, the huge Mother Nest of All Things perfectly merged into the ground, and the monsters spawned from many Mother Nests of All Things flooded into the dark forest like a tide. This night was destined to turn countless monsters into nutrients for the Mother Nest of All Things.
