As time resumed, the battlefield’s noise hit their ears. Ultima, ready to challenge Dagruel, returned to her opponent, Fenn. Veldora placed a hand on Shion’s shoulder. “Shion, you fought well. But the only reason you could fight Dagruel was because you were in the Suspended World. Now that time has moved on, the world is governed by the laws of physics again. Dagruel’s restrictions are lifted, and his supernatural powers are unleashed.”
Shion thanked Veldora but didn’t fully grasp the warning. Her instincts, however, recognized the danger. Paralyzed by fear, Shion kicked the ground, launching herself like a cannonball towards Dagruel, swinging “Hercules Deluxe.” Dagruel caught the blade with his bare hands, their powers clashing in a fierce battle.
Luminas and Veldora watched over the clash. Luminas, sternly asked, “What are you doing?” Veldora remained silent, disheartened by Shion’s disregard for his advice. He decided to stay silent, feeling he had missed the right moment to act.
Shion, despite her regenerative abilities and Luminas’ healing magic, faced overwhelming odds. Dagruel’s destructive power couldn’t deliver a decisive blow, leading to a seemingly endless battle. Dagruel, with a bitter expression, praised Shion. “My goodness, you’ve really got me fired up, Shion!” He unleashed his immense power, causing a violent tidal wave on land, dissolving molecular bonds and laying waste to everything.
In this moment of despair, Shion couldn’t stand, tossed around by the violent forces. Luminas had no time to help, and Veldora, characteristically, did not move without Shion’s call for help. Shion’s body and mind reached their limit, but then, something deep within her broke loose.
“Rimuru-sama?” Shion was stunned. The pain was overwhelming, but she felt a sudden loss—Rimuru was gone from this world, bringing true despair. Her mind filled with emptiness, swallowed by despair. For Shion, Rimuru was everything. Without him, all meaning faded.
“Woooooooooooooooooooooooooo!” Shion howled, rage covering her despair, activating her survival instincts. She felt a response to her fury, as if a voice was calling back to her.
<Confirmed. Individual: Shion's seal is lifted. With this, the restricted skill begins to evolve... successfully. Unique Skill 'Cook' has evolved into Ultimate Skill 'Susanoo'.>
This was the moment Shion awakened to her ultimate power. If Rimuru had been alive and well, she would never have acquired this power. While fighting against Dagruel, Shion was rapidly transforming her essence. With honesty and straightforwardness, she accepted things as they were, without being bound by common sense, and grasped her power. Not only her body, but also her spirit, laid the foundation for Shion's evolution.
And now, Rimuru has disappeared. This was the moment.
Shion had the potential to kill Rimuru. Ciel, who had been wary of Shion's potential, disappeared with Rimuru, lifting the watchful eye on Shion. With this, Shion's authority was fully realized. However, the evolution of authority was meaningless to Shion. Without Rimuru, all power was useless.
No.
Absolutely not.
Shion saw the light in hell. Rimuru's plan was sound. It must not be. Then even this situation was part of the plan.
Shion was a fool. She did not doubt and fear. She did not doubt Rimuru's victory, even though she had no evidence to support it.
(That's Rimuru-sama! You saw this coming!)
It was an overestimation based on Shion's assumption, but for her, it was the truth. Joy and envy filled Shion's heart, and she felt an unbelievable outpouring of power. Pure violence. The power of destruction. A force of tyranny, without regard to good or evil. It was the most powerful power that could kill Rimuru. If Ciel had been there, she would have grumbled, "That's why I had sealed it." But Shion did not notice it.
(Thank you, Rimuru-sama!)
She took the power she had won with glee. Shion, who had always been aware of Dagruel, had been considerably influenced to optimize her body. The same was true for her evolved power, the Ultimate Skill 'Susanoo: The Lord of Tyranny,' which was the incarnation of tyranny. Dagruel, the incarnation of tyranny. In a sense, it was inevitable that the Ultimate Skill 'Susanoo' took control of the tyranny.
Therefore, the violence of the Tidal Wave, which was raging in the sky, could be controlled without any difficulty by Shion. Absorbing all the energy that had been raging on the battlefield, Shion stood up with aplomb. She stared at Dagruel with unyielding will and declared, "This time, it is my turn to crush you!"
The endless thirst for victory drove Shion. The battle between those who possessed penetrating violence was about to come to an end.
