Awakened Demon Lord, a legend standing at the pinnacle of the Jura World.
Even in the Marvel Universe, she is an absolute cosmic overlord, a top-tier existence among Father-level beings.
In Marvel, she has had many fortuitous encounters: the "Cyttorak's Ruby," "Mjolnir," the "Casket of Ancient Winters," and the "Eternal Flame" are all supreme treasures.
After awakening, Rimuru had the courage to face any "visible" strong opponent in the universe.
Even Thanos, with his Infinity Gauntlet—so long as he doesn't collect all six Stones—couldn't hope to surpass Rimuru.
"Great Sage, initiate the evolution ritual. Thank you for your companionship throughout this journey. I hope you successfully evolve into the King of Wisdom with the help of the primordial rune!"
"Thank you? That is strange! However, since it is the host's wish, I will strive to evolve into the King of Wisdom!"
As the evolution ritual began, Rimuru's consciousness immediately fell into the deepest darkness.
Having lost Rimuru's control, she could no longer maintain her human form and directly reverted to her slime body.
Outside.
Ancient One watched all of this, greatly astonished.
In Ancient One's eyes, she didn't see a slime, nor anything related to levels of life; she saw Rimuru's evolution ritual.
Completely different from the magic system created by the Vishanti, the tiny body contained infinite magic, almost comparable to a weak dimension.
Even the gods of Asgard couldn't reach this level; it was unimaginable, truly the greatest miracle in the history of life!
As for the evolution ritual, it was even more profound and exquisitely designed to the extreme.
Just as the Ancient One marveled at the profundity of life, the anomalies caused by Rimuru's evolution also attracted the prying eyes of many powerful beings in the multiverse.
In the Marvel Universe, there generally isn't the concept that "the longer you cultivate, the stronger you become."
It's quite normal for a powerful being who has existed for tens of thousands of years to be thoroughly beaten by a newly emerged "youngster," ruining their reputation.
For example, Doctor Strange, who had only been cultivating for less than two or three years, carrying a Time Stone, went to negotiate with Dormammu—and even succeeded!
If this were an Eastern cultivation novel, even the protagonist might be crushed by such a powerful being with a single finger.
The "anomaly" caused by Rimuru in Kamar-Taj made the lords and rulers of various dimensions nervous.
Ancient One was already incredibly talented; if another even more powerful being emerged, where would they find any room to intervene in Earth?
However, just as many demon gods, Lokis, and dimensional beings extended their feelers toward Earth—
On Earth, centered around the three great sanctuaries and supported by thousands of magic nodes, one magic circle after another lit up.
Ancient One's voice resounded throughout the multiverse.
"According to the agreement, your power cannot set foot on Earth!"
In the universe, layers of voices responded.
"Ancient One, Sorcerer Supreme of Earth, we have abided by the agreement, but it seems you have not!"
"What is that powerful magic fluctuation from Kamar-Taj?"
"Ancient One, what are you trying to hide? Are you planning to expand your forces and prepare for war?"
Ancient One was expressionless, her eyes calm as an ancient well. "Expanding forces and preparing for war? For hundreds of years, I have never stepped outside of Earth. You are overthinking it."
Another powerful voice rang out, "Ancient One, the agreement cannot be challenged. Hand over the person or weapon that created such powerful magic fluctuations!"
"Yes, hand it over immediately!"
"Otherwise, don't blame us for flattening Earth!"
Ancient One looked in a certain direction and said contemptuously, "Stanis, three of the voices that just spoke were yours—changing tones, using three different magic frequencies. Hmm, so you've joined the Dark Lord Dormammu. No wonder you have the nerve to challenge my patience."
"Stanis, do you want to die?"
Swish!
Instantly, the void fell silent.
The demon god Stanis was startled. Even after joining Dormammu, he was no match for the Ancient One at all.
He absolutely did not dare provoke her.
But his master had given him the order, so he cleverly used several different aliases.
He didn't expect Ancient One to see through him at a glance!
However, as soon as he sensed the auras of many demon gods and Lokis around him, Stanis's courage returned.
"Ancient One, stop changing the subject. You must give us an explanation regarding the powerful magic fluctuations from Kamar-Taj!"
Ancient One looked down disdainfully. "Your true bodies may be extremely powerful, even beyond my reach. But the amount of power you can bring into Earth, no matter how much, is no match for me. You are afraid that a new Sorcerer Supreme is being born on Earth, so you obstruct it in every possible way, even losing face."
"You want an explanation from me? If you have the ability, come to Earth and get it!"
"You—!"
Hearing Ancient One's unparalleled declaration, all the prying Lokis and demon gods were furious.
They wished they could rush to Earth immediately and tear that damned bald thief into pieces!
But the magic array Ancient One had set up on Earth was too insidious; too much power simply couldn't enter.
And the power that could enter was too weak, completely no match for the Ancient One.
Dormammu: "Ancient One, just pray that your turtle shell never develops a flaw!"
"Hmph!"
Many prying demon gods all uttered harsh threats and then departed.
Of course, there were still some demon gods who remained sneaky, attempting to seize an opportunity to gain an advantage.
However, Ancient One couldn't be bothered with them!
"Teacher!"
"Teacher!"
Mages kept arriving from all directions. The recent probing by the demon gods had caused Ancient One's magic defense network to be on high alert almost everywhere.
"Kaecilius, Mordo, Wong, I already know the situation. There's no major issue—just strengthen your defenses."
The three exchanged glances, but they respectfully accepted the order and retreated.
But some things cannot be suppressed—such as human hearts!
A secret room.
"Senior Brother, what exactly happened? Why did the magic net set up by Teacher trigger alarms everywhere?"
"Yes, is a great demon god invading Earth again?"
"What exactly is the Sorcerer Supreme planning to do?"
Hearing the resentful voices around him, Kaecilius's lips curved into a faint smile.
"I don't know—this should have been caused by Senior Sister Rimuru."
"Caused by Senior Sister Rimuru?"
"What happened? Has she returned from Asgard?"
"This troublemaker is too good at causing problems, and Master never punishes her—so biased!"
"Exactly! Exactly!"
"Do you think the Sorcerer Supreme is giving her special treatment again?"
"Definitely—how biased Master is toward one person!"
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Kaecilius said with a sinister smile, "Do you know about the Dark Dimension? In the past, only Teacher knew—and now Rimuru knows too!"
"What? They both know?"
"Is that the source of their power?"
All the resentful mages were immediately drawn in by Kaecilius's words and began to yearn for the Dark Dimension.
Meanwhile, Rimuru had also entered the critical moment of her awakening!
