In the boundless darkness, the first things to light up were various profound and complex magic runes.
These runes continuously spun and coiled around Rimuru's soul, as if they had a will of their own.
"Are these the essence of her life and magic?"
The moment Rimuru saw these runes, she felt a sense of being conquered.
Life is the greatest miracle in this world!
Following the law's pull after tens of thousands of soul sacrifices, these magic runes continuously transformed and rotated until Rimuru felt dizzy.
One by one, twisted runes similar to tadpoles continuously drilled into her soul body, and Rimuru's soul body instantly became numb and tingly.
This feeling was not constant; sometimes it was like an electric shock, sometimes like burning, sometimes like freezing, sometimes like the fragrance of blooming flowers, and sometimes like the chill of all things withering.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Each of those runes was like a divine hammer forging iron, continuously striking her soul.
Removing impurities, refining essence, forging steel through a hundred refinements.
This experience was not good, but Rimuru could still feel that her soul was undergoing a transformation every moment.
But the more times she was "forged," the more exhausted Rimuru felt.
After an unknown amount of time, even in her soul form, she fell into a deep sleep, her consciousness sinking into a deeper darkness.
This was like a dream within a dream!
Hopefully, the evolution would proceed smoothly; if it failed, she might never wake up.
Time passed, and an unknown amount of time went by.
The various magic patterns coiling around Rimuru's soul began to interweave, deconstruct, and reorganize, becoming increasingly profound and mysterious.
Especially after the primordial rune merged in, these divine patterns seemed to find their backbone, and under the unification of the primordial rune, they began to change from chaotic to orderly.
Just then, the voice of the Great Sage (the World's Words) sounded again. (Note.)

Deep in Rimuru's consciousness.
Like water ripples, circles of ripples spread out.
As the ripples spread, a little light slowly began to illuminate, and a girl with long silver-white hair appeared.
She looked at her hands, unusually curious for a moment, and everything around her was exceptionally novel and interesting.
"Am I… the Great Sage?"
"No!"
"I am… the King of Wisdom!"
...
Kamar-Taj.
One week had passed since Rimuru began her evolution.
During this week, more and more demon gods and demons were peeking at the Earth from outside.
Rimuru's evolution was originally aimed at monsters, especially the law's pull within it, which had an exaggerated attraction to all monsters.
It was like a cultivator who had been stuck at a bottleneck for countless years suddenly glimpsing a chance for ascension; how could they not go mad?
The magic net set up by the Ancient One across the world was being heavily attacked everywhere, making the mages of Kamar-Taj overwhelmed.
Some mages even sacrificed their lives, which caused dissatisfaction among many Kamar-Taj mages!
The mages' mission was indeed to protect the Earth, but they were unwilling to fight such meaningless wars.
What's more, the Sorcerer Supreme didn't even have an explanation that could convince everyone!
They worried not about scarcity but about unfairness; were they to sacrifice their lives to protect Rimuru?
What a joke!
Under the guidance of those with ulterior motives, Kamar-Taj's dissatisfaction with Rimuru had accumulated to the point where a small spark could ignite it.
"Master must give us an explanation this time!"
"Exactly, several mages have already died. We are the backbone of Earth's defense, and we absolutely cannot make such meaningless sacrifices!"
"Right!"
"Stanis is challenging again. Kamar-Taj cannot lose any more people!"
Hearing the sounds of dissatisfaction, Kaecilius couldn't help but smile.
With so many Master Brothers and Master Sisters on his side, let's see what Master will do!
But at this moment, a terrifying and boundless aura surged from Sorcerer Ancient One's courtyard.
This aura was truly too terrifying; in an instant, all the mages felt as if a colossal demon stood before them, reaching the heavens.
This exaggerated demonic aura...
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
The mages were shaken to their core and involuntarily knelt down.
This was Rimuru… Master Sister?
Is the Sorcerer Supreme's aura this strong?
The mages trembled, not even daring to raise their heads.
Kaecilius, who was always arrogant, gritted his teeth, almost biting off his tongue, his mouth filled with a sweet, metallic taste, before he managed to raise his head with difficulty.
The moment he raised his head, his mind instantly went blank, and the entire world was left with only one figure.
A girl floated in mid-air, her silver hair spread out behind her like angel wings, emanating a terrifying and boundless demonic aura.
Yet, she appeared exceptionally sacred—not an angel, but even more so than an angel!
"The evolution secret method is mine. Who wants it? Come and get it yourself!"
A mental storm radiated outward, and the demon gods peeking at Kamar-Taj fell silent.
The fully unleashed Demon Lord's Aura of Rimuru after her successful evolution was simply too terrifying!
It utterly terrified the gods and demons!
"If you won't answer, then I'll come myself!"
The silver-haired girl waved her jade-like hand, and space layered and receded as if automatically making way.
She took a step, and a grand avenue composed of orderly divine patterns appeared on the ground, leading to the heavens.
Hell.
In a demonic realm full of flames, a roar rang out: "Presumptuous! You are bullying demons too much!"
