Chapter 50 : Red Lotus?

[Rimuru: A demon king species with abilities like the Gluttony, the King of Oaths, Veldora (Storm Dragon), Velgrynd (Scorch Dragon), and more. It possesses the power to devour other beasts and assume their forms.]

[Nine Tails: Looking at those abilities, this slime is seriously terrifying!]

[Fourth Raikage: Is this even considered a slime anymore?]

[Kakashi: Being ranked fourth on the pet list means this beast's strength is far from ordinary. Such terrifying abilities are to be expected.]

[Third Hokage: This adorable slime can consume other beasts and take on their appearances. That's quite spooky, don't you think?]

[Fourth Raikage: Indeed, if it devours the Old Third Tsuchikage, can it then become him and replace him without anyone noticing? It's a form, not a Transformation Technique. With this form, it could maintain this illusion indefinitely.]

[Third Tsuchikage: Why use me as an example, you darn Fourth Raikage!]

[Gaara: What's most frightening are those abilities. Judging from their names, they must be extraordinary. That's why it ranks fourth on the pet list.]

[Naruto: I'd love to have a pet like this. It appears harmless to humans and animals but is actually pretty scary! Plus, this slime looks different from regular ones. It should be easy to handle, not sticky, and perfect for a pillow!]

[Nine Tails: Naruto, am I just okay? Are you thinking about other pets?]

[Naruto: My apologies, Kurama. I forgot about your existence. But you can't come out!]

[Haruno Sakura: Naruto, you're ridiculous. You're thinking of a beast this terrifying as a pillow when it could swallow you whole!]

[Naruto: Ah, I was just joking!]

...

"Who would've thought a slime could rank fourth?" Rongrong exclaimed.

She found the slime's abilities terrifying but didn't expect it to be ranked so high.

At that moment, Yasao explained, "Rimuru's body is naturally weak due to its bloodline. It's impressive that it has managed to improve to this level."

When he initially valued the slime, he wanted to raise a cute demon king, much like those in certain animes. 

He chose a slime with great potential and a pleasing appearance. He worked tirelessly to nurture it, enhancing its intelligence and gradually unlocking its powers and secret abilities.

Unfortunately, this slime lacked the system abilities seen in the original story, limiting its potential. 

It could only become a weakened version of the demon king slime. 

If it were stronger, it might have gained abilities like the God of the Void and the Rapheal. With the complete system and skill, it might have ranked higher than fourth, possibly in the top two.

...

In Golden List's live room:

[Might Guy: Starting from the tenth place, all the summoning beasts ahead belong to Yasao. It's highly likely that the first and second places are also his.]

[Kakashi: That's a strong possibility. After this ranking, these summoning beasts will undoubtedly gain incredible treasures and become even more powerful.]

[Manda: So envious!]

[Aoda: Totally envious!]

[Gamabunta: Envy overload!]

[Sage Fukasaku: We're envious too!]

[Sage Shima: Envious as well!]

[Gamakichi: Count me in on the envy train!]

Garaga was deeply impressed. While he knew about the formidable strengths of Rimuru, Sun Wukong, and the three fox demon sisters, he didn't have much information on them. 

Now, through the golden list, he learned about their abilities, which were truly impressive. Compared to them, his abilities seemed average.

"I need to impress master. Their abilities are custom-tailored by the master. If I perform exceptionally, maybe I'll earn the master's favor. My strength could still rise," Garaga thought.

With that in mind, he tried to approach Yasao. However, Yasao sensed his intentions and simply said, "Stay away!"

"Yes, master!" Garaga quickly retreated, not wanting to irritate his master.

Yasao thought to himself, "He's completely clueless!"

At the same time, Yaya, Rongrong, and Honghong returned, massaging Yasao together. Garaga tried to move closer, but Yasao prevented it.

Yaya, Rong Rong, and Hong Hong started discussing who ranked third on the pet list.

"It should be Red Lotus," Hong Hong suggested.

Rong Rong agreed, saying, "Big sister is right. It's probably Red Lotus. However, he's been in the deep sea for months, searching for minerals and resources for the master. He hasn't reported anything for a while."

Rong Rong managed the finances, so she required regular reports from all beast under Yasao including the eldest sister, and the second sister, as per Yasao's rule.

"Red Lotus is a Godzilla!" Rong Rong continued, explaining, "It's relatively large, though not as big as you are now. Its real terror lies in its atomic breath, which can annihilate a ninja village, a small country, and even pierce the moon. It was discovered when it destroyed several mountains in a small country. Thankfully, I saved tens of thousands of lives by keeping it a secret. Since then, the master has confined Red Lotus to the deep sea to keep it hidden."

"Destroying a ninja village with one breath and piercing the moon?" Garaga gasped in astonishment. He realized that he would be utterly defenseless against Red Lotus's atomic breath.

"If I ever face Red Lotus, I absolutely must avoid that atomic breath," Garaga thought.

Just then, the live broadcast room announced the third-place pet on the list.

[Third Place on the Pet List: Red Lotus, Owner: Yasao]

No one was familiar with Red Lotus, so they waited to see the beast.

Soon, a red Godzilla appeared, filling the room with a heavy presence.

The introduction of Red Lotus appeared below the image.
