I finish disciplining my clone and dust off my hands. I look down at the battered body twitching at my feet that somehow has a mosaic blur over it.
I'm not joking. Even my [Universal Sense] can't see past it. Judging by how intensely Illya is staring at it, she probably can't too.
We look at each other before nodding with wise expressions.
We shall ignore this and chalk it up to more anime bullshit.
I take away the coconut drink my clone brought back from his holiday and start sipping.
I frown.
Rimuru- âI forgot that I donât like coconutâ¦â
I'm sure some people love it, I just donât personally like the taste.
Teleporting it away to a random spatial coordinate, I turn to look at everyone else surrounding me, still sleeping peacefully.
Hmm⦠I guess I should deal with Bryce once and for all.
(Third Person POV)
Meanwhile, far away, a certain Demon Lord with platinum pink twin-tailed hair is sitting on a chair, swinging her legs. She is in a bedroom, but itâs rather small for a place inside the rather majestic castle that itâs located in.
Milim- âIâm so booored nanoda!â
She is currently pretending to be mind-controlled by Clayman to snoop for information about his backer. Unfortunately, she doesnât know that Rimuru already took care of his backer AKA Yuuki.
Right now, she has some time to herself without Clayman around or any surveillance. He has no clue that the mind-controlling item in his possession that he used on Milim had no effect whatsoever.
*Growl*
Milim looks down towards her stomach.
Milim- âAnd I'm hungry too⦠I miss Avalon⦠I wonder how Gaia is doing⦠I bet my bestie is doing something fun nanoda⦠UGHHHH! So bored!â
Out of nowhere, a coconut drink appears out of midair and lands right into Milimâs hands. She looks at it with shining eyes.
Milim- âYouâre the best, Rimuru!â
(MC POV)
*Atchoo!*
Rimuru- â*Sniff* I bet someone was talking shit about me. Probably some great evil plotting behind my back.â
I feel a judging stare behind me, but I ignore it and focus on the soul I have stored in my [Belzebuth] stomach.
Itâs Bryceâs soul.
Using [Belzebuth], I CAN consume him and get everything he has, but I have a better idea.
Only using [Belzebuth] a bit, I only âeatâ one thing. His main Unique Skill. Now, with that skill in my arsenal, I speak out a single word.
Rimuru- â[Deprive].â
Instantly, everything was stripped from Bryceâs soul, although without his Storm Crest, thereâs not much left. Just some lower-ranked skills I already have like [Magic Sense].
Thereâs only one thing I really want from him, in fact. Unique Skill [Investigator], a skill Illya thinks contains a fragment of the Origin Skill [Akashic Records].
But thatâs for later.
After I gave Bryce a taste of his own medicine, I look at it one last time, my golden eyes glowing with silent fury and coldness. If I had one regretâ¦
I wouldâve liked to see what expression he wouldâve had if he knew what I just did. Unfortunately, heâs just a soul, a broken one at that. Really unfortunateâ¦
And so, looking away without any expression, I exert my [Manas] and crush his soul. The man named Bryce is no more, forever prevented from reincarnating again.
After that, I remove [Deprive] and discard it. I have no use for such a skill, nor do I want something that originated from that man.
I turn around to look at Illya who is currently looking at me with stars in her eyes.
Illya- âOnii-chan is so cool!â
Rimuru- ââ¦â
I'm flattered, honestly. But⦠I'm a little uncomfortable with that stare. Maybe because I based her off of Illya from the Nasuverse? I mean, the Nasuverse is just a universe filled with Edge, Edge, and more fucking Edge. And I gotta say, I was pretty edgy.
(A/N: You mean cringe?)
More time passes as Illya calms down.
Eventually, she takes [Investigator] and examines it.
Illya- âYup! Itâs got an Ultimate Skill fragment!â
Rimuru- âReally!?â
I'm genuinely surprised. I mean, even Illya wasnât sure and it was only a guess, but now that itâs certainâ¦
Rimuru- â⦠Illya⦠can you fuse with it?â
Nodding her head, she got to work-
Ilya- âDone.â
Please Illya, slow down. My monologue can't keep up with you.
>
.
.
.
Wot?
Illya- âOnii-chan! This is amazing!â
>
.
.
.
Wot?
Hearing Illyaâs voice from beside me and in my head as a mechanical voice is a bit weird.
Illya- âI have control over the World System!â
>
.
.
.
Wot?
I need to lie downâ¦
(Time skippu~!)
Rimuru- âOk, so let me get this straight. You fused with [Investigator].â
Illya- âYes.â
Rimuru- âThe Ultimate Skill fragment was indeed the Origin Skill [Akashic Records]?â
Illya- âYes.â
Rimuru- âAnd that fragment boosted you to something above a Manas, and you called yourself a Codex?â
Illya- âYes.â
Rimuru- âAnd you said that this gave you control over the World System and the Voice of the World as a consequence?â
Illya- âYes.â
Rimuru- âAnd now youâre theoretically omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent?â
Illya- âYes.â
Rimuru- âAnd I can also become omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent by fusing with you?â
Illya- âYes!â
.
.
.
I sit up on the couch from my laying position (what? You thought I was joking when I said I needed to lay down?) and say the only word on my mind at the moment.
Rimuru- âBruh.â
Illya just smiled.
And then, with a wave of her hands, the magic happened.
>
And so, I became overpowered to a stupid degree.

AN: Origin Skills are just Ultimate Skills that Veldanava himself used (to my understanding at least).
Also, I got the Codex name idea from another fanfic called âthat time I got reincarnated in a fantasy magic worldâ. A good fanfic but I think the author dropped it.
Let me know if I missed anything.
