"Do you want to become a Demon Lord" Ray2

"Sure but I don't have a demon lord seed" Ray1

"Oh no no, I mean a Demon Lord as in a member of the demon lord council?" Ray2

*Tick*

*Tack*

"No!" Ray1 said with conviction, there's almost no benefit in joining the council whatsoever.

"Even if I promise you that there'll be great benefits from it?" Ray2

"As I already said, no, I wouldn't even be able to become a member if I wanted to, so in the end it doesn't matter." Ray1

Ray2 looked Ray1 deep into the eyes, 'He will be useful, a good tool but he first needs fine tuning.

He only needs to join the council and meet 'him' then his power should reach an acceptable level for me and I'll be able to harvest the seeds I sowed sooo let's get this over with, with the good ol' methods: Threats, and play good cop afterwards, well more like funny cop.'

"I'll make you part of the council whether you want it or not, so wait here for me, and I dare you to oppose me." Ray2 released an amount of bloodlust, Ray1 never imagined being able to exist.

Hell, Ray1's bones started to crack due to the pressure.

"Su- Sure" Ray1 said with his childish voice, he had no say whatsoever in this matter especially, with his childish body, he didn'teven knew what Ray2's teue objective was, he could only guess.

BOOOM*

Guy's and Milim's weapons clashed once again, destroying everything around them.

Both leaped back and went into a stalemate, observing the enemy and waiting for them to make the next move.

But suddenly as Milim was about to move once again a rift appeared midair, and both Milim and Guy retreat a bit more to evaluate the situation.

A person jumps out of the rift, he dons a black uniform only royal guards from the empire wear and his eyes have weird clock-like structures inside of them.

The man glances at Milim stopping her where she stands and returns his gaze to Guy once again "Yo! Wanna fight?"

Guy is somewhat baffled by the confidence of the human in front of him but still agrees, after all, he was here only here in the first place to fight "Sure".

Guy readies himself and gets into a stance befitting a swordmaster, the human summons a strange rift filled with white and black energy.

Guy senses great danger coming from the rift and he can't copy it with his Ultimate skill, making him even warier of the human in front of him.

Guy's instincts scream at him to end this battle as quickly as possible so he dashes towards the human with his full speed destroying the surrounding wasteland once more.

The human smirks at Guy's attempt to attack him and dodges with ease "You're really good, but sadly I am a genius."

The rift begins to steadily widen and enlarge while Guy swings at the human with his sword.

"Hahaha, I've really forgotten how much fun it is to fight you, even though you're not even close to my level hahaha" The human screams from the top of his lungs as he dodges the barrage of nuclear magic coming straight at him, coupled with the devastating sword blows of Guy.

Guy activates the skill [Wrathful king Satanael] he copied from Milim and his attributes, physical and magical, skyrocket.

The rift the human summoned in the beginning slowly ascended as Guy appeared in front of said human and sliced his chest.

"Oh yeah, that definitely hurts like a bitch... or does it." The human swiped his arm across the bleeding wound and without even touching it, his body was restored fulä.

The human sends a kick towards Guy who was losing his sanity due to the skill he activated but it was evaded by a swift jump to the right from Guy, who in turn shot out a <calamity claw>, an attack composed of powerful poison magic and Guy's huge physical attack power.

The <calamity claw> hits the human directly in the guts almost tearing of his lower half and to top it off he got poisoned with the strongest poison in the world.

"Haha wow I'm f*cked aren't I, well seems like I'm not" The human once again hovers his arm above his chest and moved it swiftly above all of the entry points of the poison making it disappear "Huh I think I have a Deja Vú."

The rift now up in the air has grown to about ten meters in diameter and white and black ethereal tendrils started coming out of it.

Those huge tentacles came together forming something akin to a giant pillar hanging from the heavens.

The tip of the tentacle pillar started to shift as the tendrils squirmed and a giant eye formed, the pupil a vibrant white and the iris a deathly black.

Guy's senses started to dim in the eye of this eldritch construct as its eye locked onto him.

"I give you five minutes" A happy voice rang out "If you're able to survive that long, you'll live... if not well you know, the friendly guy with a scythe will visit you."

As those words left the human's mouth he summoned a clock to his side and set its timer to five minutes.

"~Tick Tack, playtime is over~" the human says as he summons another rift, way smaller than the first, and created a maze with the strings that came out of it.

Guy was able to copy the skill [Weaver of time] as he saw the maze being formed but before he was able to do anything, the human swung down his maze into the air, and Guy was shot down to the ground at the same time.

*Boom*

Guy was just about to stand up as the human swung the maze sideways, and Guy was hit at the same angle with immense force.

*Boom*

This beatdown continued for five minutes and will later be trapped in Guy's mind as his greatest humiliation only he and one other person share knowledge about.

While all this was happening a small fairy appeared near Milim spectating the battle if you can even call it that.

The human suddenly disappeared and reappeared directly next to Ramiris

"Well hello there~"The human put his clock away ignoring the countdown for the time being.

"Hello, I've come here to calm down this child and you're passively hindering me with it."

"Mhm, how comes?"

"Well I know a technique that can absorb the energies that make her furious but activating it will result in me absorbing ALL of the energy around me, so I would probably die due to the stardust and demonic energy. Now that wouldn't be a problem normally, after all, I'm able to reincarnate when I die, but your energy if... if I absorb it, I know, I'll be dead forever."

The adult form of Ramiris spoke, gaining a nod from the human who disappeared completely, taking with him the giant tendril pillar in the sky and the [Weaver of time] skill Guy copied. And just like that all he did this was undone except Guy's wounds just like these things never happened.

///_In another timeline_\\\

The same man that just wiped the floor with Guy popped out of thin air greeting another human with the exact same looks, but a bit colder expression "Heyo I'm back did you miss me?!"

"Just tell me what happened and let's get over with this. And what's with this attitude, you scared me shitless before you left last time. " Ray#1 said as Ray#2 began to recap what he did.

"... and then Ramiris showed up and I as the venerable man I am I followed her request and teleported away.

*Crunch*

*Crunch*

By the way, the chips Rimuru introduces after he transmigrates are just godly you should try them when they are available,

*Crunch*

I can really understand why Trenni eats them like... constantly." After starting the recap Ray#2 pulled out a pack of chips and started to munch on them as he explained what happened.

Ray#1 just massaged his temples at the stupidity of himself "And how am I supposed to react to this?! Why should I become a demon lord again? And again what's up with this attitude, aren't we the same person?"

Ray#2 just munches on his chips for a while and spoke up afterward with a smirk on his face "Don't worry, we're the same person, just with a few years between us. And you'll thank me in a hundred or so years when you get the benefits from becoming a demon lord." Ray2

*Crunch*

"Ok. now can you please leave." Ray1

"Sure but before that, I have one thing left to say. Preserve that." Ray2 pointed at Ray1's timeclock.

"That clock is akin to money to all versions of us and to add to that it acts as a catalyst for our evolution so it's really important.

So do. not. lose. it" Ray2 released another burst of Bloodlust but this time it was way more manageable.

"Ok now go please" Ray1

"Farewell old friend."

///_In the real world_\\\

Ramiris was just about to absorb all the energy remaining in the time-frozen Milim and return her to her Sanity as the same human from before appeared just this time with a colder expression.

"Do you have any last words?" Ray asked as he stared at the spirit queen killing herself due to the enormous amount of magicules in the area.

"Ha you sound like you are the one killing me, but to be honest I just wish, for one thing, ensure that my successor lives life to the fullest."

"I'll try... goodbye"

"Goodb-"

And just like that, the Spirit queen died and reincarnated into a much smaller version of herself that became a true Demon lord as she absorbed all of the energies in this place.

Guy finally came too, after spitting liters of blood and recovering from his loss of pride. He looked at Ray for a second before speaking "Now what?"
