Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken novel Chapter 241

Chloe held her sword reflexively to the sight of a man approaching in front of her.

She felt a bit regretful for the man who looked pretty thrilled.

Chloe thought that, if the man had been looking forward to having a fight with her that much, she wanted to fight him seriously.

Even if Veldora challenged Chloe in his true form, the result wouldn't change.

Chloe's combat style was with a sword, it didn't change no matter what kind her opponent was.

Chloe's weapon, which shaped like an Uchigatana[1], was a Spiritual Weapon equivalent to God Class.

The sword had fought together with Chloe for a long time and became comparable to the Demonic Sword "World" which was one of the best swords in this world.

The sword was familiar in Chloe's hand as if it was a part of her, it kept protecting Chloe.

It was a supreme sword with an edge that could cut even a spiritual life-form.

But Chloe couldn't be Veldora's opponent.

This is because Chloe was deprived of her free will by Lucia with "Ultimate Dominion"......

—†—†—†

Lucia, who had obtained Chloe's body, was at the height of her triumph.

She had put Velzard under her complete domination and made her fight Velgrind.

Guy was a nuisance, but with Lucia's strength right now, she wouldn't lose even if she fought Guy and Veldora together at the same time.

Indeed, Veldora couldn't do a thing before Lucia.

It seemed he had borrowed a sword from Guy, but his sword skill was not worth considering

No, it was because Lucia was too strong.

Lucia had made Chloe's swordsmanship completely as hers and could completely predict the trajectory of all attacks.

Lucia thought that such overwhelming strength was Chloe's true worth as the strongest Hero, but that was not all.

Chloe was strangely very compatible with Seraphim's energy and Ultimate SkillŽHope Lord Sariel.

Lucia's main body was being perfectly guarded by Ultimate SkillŽJustice Lord Michael'sŽCastle Guard.

And now, she obtained the Ultimate SkillŽHope Lord Sariel'sŽAbsolute End[2].

Ultimate Defense and Ultimate Offense.

Lucia as a Manas was endowed with the wisdom to unravel the secrets of the skills.

That was why she could come up with a way to synthesis the two ultimate skills into one.

It would be fine if she inserted ŽInfinity Prison[3]intoŽAbsolute End. In the first place, she didn't need to worry about defense since she hadŽCastle Guardafter all

Lucia thought so.

And she would make Chloe as her sword and incorporated her intoŽJustice Lord Michael.

By doing so, Lucia would become a totally flawless being with offense and defense capabilities.

Moreover,ŽInfinity Prison wasn't actually an ability for defense.

It is an ability to seal opponent that was too difficult to be destroyed like spiritual life-forms.

(Hero Chloe seems to have used it as an irregular defensive means because she was inexperienced as a human and couldn't master the ability...... but now it's an unnecessary ability. If it's me I could master it perfectly, but rather than doing something half-hearted such as sealing the enemy, I'll destroy the enemy completely. YesUnder the name of Justice, all of God's enemies shall be destroyed!)

So, from that flow of thoughts, Lucia made the decision to eraseŽInfinity Prison.

Thus, the forbidden door is opened

Although Lucia knew about it due to her wisdom which could even unravel the secrets of skills......

That ability,ŽInfinity Prisonis an ability for sealing something.

Like "Pandora Box" which contained all of the world's evils and calamities inside, an "Evil" was sealed deep inside Chloe's heart.

Once released, that "Evil" would spread chaos and disaster into this world.

Ramiris tried to interfere at the time Chloe who transcended time fused with the young Chloe was because she sensed this "Evil".

That "Evil" would have felt various negative feelings as they traveled through a long time repetitively. Chloe continued to seal it with her strong will.

However, such feelings matured inside Chloe's heart and created a hideous personality.

ŒIf only you don't wake up a sleeping tiger[4], you will only have me as your opponent, but now.......

That was Chloe's words.

At the end of those words, Chloe's consciousness changed completely.

If the Atonement Hero who carried all of humanity's negative feelings onto herself is Chloe, the Godslayer Hero who condemned everything and loathed humanity's sins is also Chloe.

It is Chloe yet also not Chloe.

It is the one who condemns everything without any mercy.

Its name is "Manas" Chronoa[5].

Now that the seal was gone, it was freed from the prison of the heart.

Although they were the same being, its strength was in a different dimension.

Even Yuuki's curse that bound Chloe until then, was severed instantly.

There was nothing that could stop Chloe now.

For a totally flawless being that Lucia said of itself, that was exactly the word for Chloe.

However, the current Chloe wouldn't lose to this "Evil".

Her strong will and the fragments of Shizue and Hinata's heart are living inside Chloe's heart after all.

Above all, there's Rimuru now.

That's why Chloe understood that Chronoa was no more than a part of her heart too.

She just accepted Chronoa straightforwardly and it completely fused with her.

As Chloe had accepted the unleashed Chronoa,ŽHope Lord Sarielwhich had completed its role, disappeared into Chloe's heart.

However, all of its abilities are still usable by Chloe's will in the same manner as before.

ŒJustice? What is Justice? Something uncertain and changing subjectively like that is your justification, you said? If that's so, you are not my enemy

Lucia felt she heard Chloe's voice.

(Don't mock me! Justice is the only eternal truth of all things!)

She tried to refute, but she never could.

Because Lucia's consciousness had been locked in complete darkness instantly......

That was what happened in Chloe's inner world.

Chloe's deadly blade, ŽAbsolute Endwhich was released in order to interfere with Lucia's consciousness did not even allow any resistance and annihilated her in one blow.

Thus, the fight in this northern land ended.

—†—†—†

Velzard shook off the binding and Chloe cut down the curse.

Although there were some who were quite exhausted, ultimately everyone was all right.

ŒKuaaaahhahaha! How about we call it a draw for today?

With cuts all over his body, Veldora had barely dodged Chloe's last strike, but he was relieved to know that it was over.

And casually, he insisted on calling their fight as a draw.

Chloe's last attack was impossible to be analyzed even for Veldora. In the worst case, he couldn't help but thought that the attack possessed the same properties asŽSpace-Time Continuous Attackobtained by his sister, Velgrind.

He even felt a bit scared, but it would be his loss if he worried about that.

He wanted to fight the Hero who got serious, but he wanted to win so he wouldn't allow himself to be defeated.

Therefore, Veldora judged that he would be satisfied with a draw.

ŒReally? It seemed to me that you wanted to fight me, so I wouldn't mind being your opponent once this Great War was over......

ŒHmmm!? N-no, no, you don't need to be that considerate. Kuahahaha, I have seen most of your attacks from our exchanges too, there's no need for us to fight for the time being.

While slightly panicking, Veldora turned down Chloe's offer.

Veldora was somewhat scared of his two sisters' gazes towards him, but he pretended he didn't notice and ignored them.

At least, he found out that he couldn't compete with Chloe in swordsmanship at all.

As for things he said, there was no lie in Veldora's words.

Inside his mind, Veldora swore that he would train his swordsmanship thoroughly from the base up.

Next was Guy who spoke to Chloe..

Returning to his usual male form, Guy began talking to Chloe while Veldora returned his sword back.

ŒYo, is that your true power?

Chloe nodded to Guy's question.

Or rather......

ŒHuh? It seems that the seraphim's energy is left behind. And......

Chloe had treated the power as her own too naturally, but in actuality she had stolen a majority of Lucia's energy.

That was not all, there was also fragments ofŽJustice Lord Michaelleft behind from "Manas" Lucia's remains.

As a result

ŠNotification. Individual: Chloe Aubert, confirmed to have gathered the three elements ofŽCourageŽHopeŽJustice[6]. Moreover, the presence of Ultimate SkillŽSpace-Time Lord Yog-Sothothin her possession had been confirmed. "Alteration" is automatically activated...... Successful. Ultimate SkillŽSpace-Time Lord Yog-Sothothhas evolved intoŽSpace-Time God Yog-Sothoth[7].‹

Within Chloe, an ultimate evolution was being carried without her realization.

Even if it was an enormous energy of a seraph, it wasn't sufficient at all to activate that ability (Alteration)......

Because of that, Chloe's evolution ended without being noticed by anyone.
