Chapter 384 347 – King of Wisdom, the Nation-Building Plan

"I'll grant your wish!"

"Sword of God: Dragon Slayer!!!"

Takumi even used his divine power to enhance the Sword of God.

In the next instant, the blade transformed into a beam of light and pierced straight through Unlimited Imprisonment.

Before the Storm Dragon Veldora could even react, the Sword of God cleaved through his body!

From the wound torn open in his chest, dazzling light rapidly spread outward, disintegrating and annihilating every inch of his body!!

Veldora's strength had already fallen to less than one percent of its peak. Even if he had not voluntarily lowered his defenses, he still would not have been able to withstand that strike.

As he felt his life fading away, Veldora said thank you to Takumi before dying.

Once he reincarnated, he felt that he would have to properly repay Takumi.

But Takumi did not hear Veldora's thanks, nor did he care about what the dragon was thinking.

Right now, he was completely immersed in his own joy.

Thanks to his immensely enhanced thoughts, he had precisely controlled every trace of power in that attack.

After slaying Veldora, the Sword of God that had flown out immediately collapsed into pure energy and returned to his body.

Takumi then entered Unlimited Imprisonment at once, releasing cellular spores to absorb the remains of Veldora's body.

At the same time, he pushed Great Sage's power to its limit, analyzing, combining, and evolving everything he obtained!

[Ding! Randomly plundered attribute: Faust, Lord of Investigation (Gold)]

[Ding! Acquired attribute: True Dragon (Gold)]

[Great Sage analyzing… Storm Dragon remnants completely absorbed!]

[Ding! Acquired attribute: Storm King (Gold)]

[Storm King (Gold): You can create a Storm Dragon and command it in battle. You also acquire all storm-type magic.]

[Great Sage analyzing… Separating and absorbing part of the skills within Faust, Lord of Investigation (Gold).]

[Great Sage evolving…]

[Ding! Acquired attribute: Raphael, Lord of Wisdom (Gold)]

[Raphael, Lord of Wisdom (Gold): A fusion of multiple skills. It can perceive all things in the world that have not been concealed and possesses the abilities of analysis, synthesis, and evolution.]

The moment [Raphael, Lord of Wisdom (Gold)] appeared, Takumi's thought acceleration surged once again!

His thinking speed directly increased to over a hundred million times its previous rate, while simultaneously beginning to integrate and evolve all of his abilities.

[Raphael analyzing… Evolving…]

Under Takumi's active guidance, the attributes and skills within him that had already approached the level of laws underwent explosive improvements.

[Ding! Acquired attributes: Authority of Space (Gold), Authority of Creation (Gold), Authority of Storms (Gold)]

[Authority of Space (Gold): You govern the authority of "space" and can freely divide and alter it.]

[Authority of Creation (Gold): Integrated with alchemical formulas. You govern the authority of "creation." As long as you can understand something, you can create all kinds of skills and matter.]

[Authority of Storms (Gold): You govern the authority of "storms."]

After that long string of attributes appeared, Takumi rubbed his head—which was literally smoking—as well as the rest of his body.

"Cough, cough! My thoughts accelerated too quickly. I'm having trouble recovering."

After integrating several authorities in succession, Takumi felt completely "burned out."

It had genuinely required too much mental effort. If this had been his former self, excessive thinking might have literally cooked his brain.

"I could've obtained these authorities gradually even without this."

"Raphael merely accelerated the process."

"There are still plenty left… I'll take it slowly."

Takumi understood very clearly that if he granted [Raphael] self-awareness, it could continue integrating and evolving his abilities on its own.

But he would never do that.

He would rather split his attention between two or three tasks—or simply work for two days and slack off for three—while slowly analyzing and evolving them himself.

He was not currently facing any truly difficult problem, so there was no need to rush.

Takumi lay lazily on his throne for half a day and only truly recovered after several hours.

"When you exercise too long, you don't want to move anymore. When you overwork your brain, you don't want to think anymore."

"I understand that feeling far too well now."

Looking exhausted, Takumi only wanted to hold a soft, fragrant girl and rest comfortably in her embrace for a while.

"Haah~~"

After yawning, he followed his desires and immediately returned to the Space-Time Realm, where he rested properly for three days.

"Woohoo! I'm completely refreshed!!"

With his spirits restored, Takumi returned to the world of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime.

Nothing before him had changed, including the throne he had created not long ago.

Looking at the now-empty "Unlimited Imprisonment," Takumi thought for a moment and decided not to leave it behind.

"Predator: Devour!"

His palm transformed into a black-hole-like space connected to the imaginary space inside his body known as the "Stomach."

In an instant, the "Unlimited Imprisonment" before him was completely swallowed and stored inside his body.

Takumi split off a strand of consciousness and used [Raphael, Lord of Wisdom (Gold)] to begin analyzing Unlimited Imprisonment.

Although Unlimited Imprisonment was a high-level sub-skill, it was still inferior to an authority.

Takumi did not need to devote much attention to it, so the mental burden was not very great.

"Three days ago, right after obtaining [Raphael], I really went insane."

"I immersed myself in thought acceleration, integrated my abilities, and forced them to evolve faster. I nearly broke my own mind."

Looking back on his condition at the time, he had basically been a corporate slave working twenty-four hours a day for three consecutive days and nights.

The fact that he had not dropped dead on the spot could only be attributed to his absurd vitality.

"I'm not some exploited office worker. There's no need to work myself to death."

After letting out a long breath, Takumi contacted Kagali, who had already awakened from her unconscious state.

"Master, where are you?"

Still weak all over and dizzy-headed, Kagali immediately responded when she heard Takumi's voice.

"I'm in the Great Forest of Jura."

"Gather your subordinates and bring them here."

"I'll send you the coordinates."

Takumi transmitted his current location to Kagali.

The moment she received the coordinates, Kagali revealed a shocked expression.

"Isn't this the sealed cave? The place where the Storm Dragon was imprisoned?"

"Oh~ I eliminated the Storm Dragon. I'm preparing to establish a nation here now."

"…"

Takumi's single sentence nearly caused Kagali's mind to crash.

"W-What? The Storm Dragon was eliminated!? And you're establishing a nation!?"

"Is there a problem?"

"No. I'm merely surprised."

Kagali maintained the discipline expected of a subordinate and did not ask any further questions.

After briefly considering Takumi's command, she chose to obey.

While she began taking action on her side, Takumi had already started preparing to build his nation.

As for why he wanted to do this, there were two reasons.

First, if he intended to stir things up, he would inevitably draw the attention and resistance of the people in this world.

Rather than waiting for them to come and subjugate him, it would be better to establish a nation now and take the initiative.

The other reason was that nation-building was also the best way to obtain "World-Crossing Gate progress."

Ever since the empire in the world of Redo of Healer expanded its territory, the daily progress he earned from there had skyrocketed.

Just three days ago, while he spent three days partying with Freya and the others in the imperial castle, his World-Crossing Gate progress had risen to twenty thousand.

It was practically money flowing in while he sat around doing nothing.

Who wouldn't love that?
