Rimuru watched the dramatic scene in front of her while helplessly shaking her head with a slight smile.
"Ok enough of that, me and Lucifer had different ideas when it came to the armor, so we will let you pick between his or mine." Rimuru stood up with a smirk while urging Lucifer to sit.
Lucifer just sat down at the head of the table with a curious smile.
"Of course milord!" Once Zegion heard her words, he immediately got up and sat back in his seat properly.
After a few seconds, carts of slightly colored suitcases came in but these seemed a bit larger than Lucifer's.
Rimuru with the help of Shuna and her maids put each suitcase with the individual designated color.
"All right, open them up!" Rimuru exclaimed as soon as everyone had a suitcase in front of them.
Once everyone opened their suitcases, ecstatic expressions appeared on their faces, not even hiding the fact that Rimuru's was better.
"Wow! This was even cooler!" Carrera exclaimed.
"Pretty cool." Even the silent Souei spoke with a slight smile.
"Hoho, this axe and shield are quite interesting!" Geld spoke while admiring an axe from the suitcase with golden armor.
Geld was the only one who received weapons since his armor came with it, but nobody cared because it was all from their Lords.
Benimaru.
Souei.
Carrera.
Ultima.
Geld.
Even Zegion got armor.
Gabiru, Ranga, and Testarossa were the only ones who didn't get armor.
"Ranga I'll make it up to you later and your Testarossa right?" Rimuru asked after petting Ranga and turning toward Testarossa who was seated.
Testarossa nodded with a slight smile, she wasn't bothered much by not receiving armor.
"Since you are taking care of Foreign Affairs and are not a part of the military force I didn't make one for you currently. But don't worry, in the future when it calls for it, I will give you one." Rimuru added with a smile.
"Thank you Lord Rimuru, I understand." Testarossa nodded in understanding.
"Gabiru you didn't get armor because we couldn't find any suitable for your battle style. There aren't many armors that are meant for flight. They would just slow you down." Rimuru explained as he turned toward Gabiru.
"I u-understand." Gabiru spoke deflatedly.
Lucifer just stayed silent with a smile, he seemed proud of Rimuru.
While Rimuru was speaking the others were excitedly looking at their armor inside the suitcases.
"You can wear whichever armor you want if you ever go into battle."
"Now that that's done, the papers we have given you also contain all the information about the technological innovations we plan to do." Rimuru added.
Everyone stopped their ecstatic movement and started to go through the packet,
The paper showed blueprints of LAAT Gunships, AV-7s, Turbo Tanks, Bomber Jets, Navy Ships, etc.
Everyone's eyes widened.
"Such vehicles!" Benimaru exclaimed flipping through the page.
"Oh my." Even Testarossa was surprised at the vehicles, especially the Star Destroyers.
"As expected of our lords." Geld smiled as he went through the pages.
"Now you guys might think this is useless because of things such as teleportation or flight." Rimuru spoke as she walked around the table.
"But in most case scenarios, the enemy will cut off teleportation and communication. We might be fine ourselves, but this will increase our foot soldier's survival chances immensely."
"For now we will mass produce Argos for information, but you will see a technological innovation called a satellite on page 26." Rimuru stopped beside the seated Lucifer.
Every started switching to page 26.
"In simple terms, this technological innovation will be floating in space and will be able to gather information anywhere in the world. It will also allow us to communicate with each other, regardless of the countermeasure, we will make sure of that. We will be able to create this, maybe in a year, who knows."
Everyone just helplessly chuckled.
"Of course, Lord Rimuru and Lord Lucifer would come up with such an idea." Benimaru spoke with admiration in his voice.
"As expected of my new lords." Testarossa slightly smiled.
At this point, everyone expected the unexpected from Rimuru and Lucifer.
Lucifer stood up and pulled Rimuru back down to her seat gently.
"As Rimuru said, we will be creating all these technological innovations and one last important thing is the wall we plan to build around the entirety of the Jura Forest." Lucifer started to walk around the room.
"It's not on the paper but you guys will be quite surprised when you see it."
"All of these technological innovations will be led by Ramiris and Veldora, with some help from me and Rimuru. Of course, you guys will also be getting paid gold or whatever type of payment you want." Lucifer explained while looking toward the duo who were reading manga.
"Really!?" Ramiris left Veldoras shoulder and instantly appeared in front of Lucifer.
"Of course, you can also declin-"
"NO! I'll definitely do it!" Ramiris cut off Lucifer before he could finish.
"Khahaha! I knew my sworn brother could perceive my greatness!" Veldora laughed heartily as he walked up beside Lucifer and hugged him tightly.
"Ok, ok!" Lucifer escaped his hug and urged them to sit back down which they did.
"Of course, all of this information has to be kept secret, and destroy those packets, they were just to show you." Lucifer ordered.
Everyone nodded and started to use their respective magics to destroy the packet.
"This new age we are going to enter with the help of Rimuru's copy magic will take around 6 months for LAATs to be mass scaled, for the wall to be done, etc. We will also train the soldiers strictly and at the end of the 6 months, you guys each will officially be in command of your legion of soldiers and the ones who have a legion will get a 2nd in command who has the battle power and leading ability to be a 2nd in command." Lucifer continued to walk around with his hands behind his back.
"Shuna you will be leading the creation of all the trooper armor. Maybe with the help of Ramiris and Rimuru, you guys can officially create the armor you wanted too." Lucifer was pretty interested if they achieve what they want to achieve, which will be something told later.
"We've talked for far too long, that's all for today, dismissed." Lucifer finished.
Once everyone heard his words, they bowed in respect and left the room.
Lucifer had a slight smile on his face once they were all gone, leaving only him and Rimuru.
"We're finally moving onto the next stage." Lucifer muttered.
"Yeah, we're doing good." Rimuru nodded in agreement.
Lucifer walked behind Rimuru and put his arms around her neck and put his head on top of Rimuru's
Rimuru was slightly surprised but didn't mind.
"*Sigh* We have so many people to fight in the future." Lucifer dreadfully spoke while relaxing his head ontop of Rimuru's.
"We can beat them together!"
"Yeah no. We're still weak even now." Lucifer denied Rimuru's words immediatley.
"I've been feeling pretty powerful, I'm pretty sure I can even take on Milim now." Rimuru joked.
"My dear Rimuru, you're not even stronger than me." Lucifer nonchalantly replied.
"Bullshit!" Rimuru suddenly stood up, looking at Lucifer daringly.
"Let's fight it out and see who's stronger!" Rimuru suddenly offered.
"Yeah, but we have Demon Lord Luminous and Demon Lord Guy here-"
"I noticed Luminous earlier, I recognized Ramiris's description of her, regardless, she's being taken care of by Diablo. And looking at Guy's strength, he's not the type to cause trouble unless angered, we also have Milim with him." Rimuru retorted.
"Your loss is inevitable but alright." Lucifer shrugged.
"We can do it at the Labyrinth." Rimuru added.
They both nodded and started to walk toward the door until Guy suddenly entered with Milim beside him.
"You two bastards! I came here to talk to you guys but you dare ignore me all this time!" Guy exclaimed while walking toward us.
"Yes." Lucifer weirdly replied.
"What?!" Guy looked at Lucifer questioningly.
"I know you want us to become Demon Lords, we already talked about it and agreed." Lucifer smiled outwardly but was grinning evilly inwardly for some reason.
But as soon as Lucifer finished speaking, He and Rimuru disappeared from their previous spot.
"Okay, I guess?" Guy questioned weirdly, he thought it would be hard to convince them but it seemed quite easy.
'They seem to be planning something, should keep things interesting.' Guy thought calming himself down with future thoughts.
"Guy come on! Let's play bloody knuckles again!" Milim exclaimed.
"I don't know why Lucifer and Rimuru introduced those games to you but I've had enough!" Guy exclaimed while looking at his bruised right fist that he was hiding in his pocket.
"Meanie!" Milim pouted.
****
Lucifer and Rimuru appeared inside the Labyrinth, going to one of the highest floors, it was floor 93.
It was a floor that was completely clear of any terrain and only had grass stretching as far as the eye can see with a bright sun.
Rimuru and Lucifer could be standing face to face with each other, each holding a smirk.
"What weapon will you use?" Rimuru questioned as she laid her hand on top of the sheathed katana.
"Hmm, I've been thinking of using this as my weapon and as my permanent weapon for a long time, since switching would be annoying." Lucifer mysteriously replied.
"Which ones?" Rimuru questioned.
Lucifer didn't answer Rimuru's question and simply brought his hand out, and a staff appeared.
It was his Caduceus staff.
Closing his eyes, he imagined how the weapon worked, and slowly after, a puff of smoke appeared in his hands.
ZHZZ
Suddenly two humming sounds came out, Rimuru could see a bright red light and a bright purple light.
Once the smoke disappeared, two lightsabers could be seen, one red while the other purple in Lucifer's hands.
They were dual lightsabers with different colors.
"Never saw those types of lightsabers. Not bad." Rimuru remarked.
"I'm so not losing." Lucifer spread his arms to each side as each of his saber, hummed brightly.
"Ready?" Rimuru questioned.
"Go!" Lucifer exclaimed and lunged at Rimuru with his sabers extended.
Rimuru responded equally and lunged at Lucifer with her katana drawn.
