Chapter 12: The Creator VS The Ruler of Void

'Rimuru POV:'

"Well if you get your answer then let's fight now!!!" Veldanava said to me.

Jeez what kind of guy is he. I swear that all the True Dragons are weird in their own way.

>>Hey Ciel if I and Veldanava were to fight how much damage it will do ?<<

<<If master and Veldanava were fight in full power then more than half of the world will get destroyed, if evolved into a True Dragon middle there is chances that destroyed completely.>>

>>That would be a problem. But I am sure that Veldanava will be able to  create the damaged world again right. He is a creator afterall.<<

<<No. Master is wrong as of right now Veldanava not capable creating world but I have already finished the analysis [Turn Null] energy and if master evolved into True Dragon then world.>>

>>Damn.. I am too overpowered. But I can't do anything about it now. So I will just go with the flow.<<

"Fine, Fine but first let's go somewhere else because I am sure that our fight will likely cause some major damage." I said to him.

"Yeah you are right let's go to the other side of this planet. As of right now there are not that much life in that region." Veldanava said to me.

"Ok let's go."I said.

.

.

.

.

.

Right now we are on the other side of the planet. Here me and Veldanava along with the three dragon siblings are present. When me and Veldanava are coming here they just followed us by saying,

'we also wants to watch the big fight'.

Seeing no harm in it we let them in. Right now me and Veldanava are flying in the air. And the three dragon siblings are right side from us they are also flying.

"This place is fine I guess." I said to Veldanava as we stop and started to look each other.

"Yeah I also think that. Now let's start our battle. But first I have a question?" He asked me.

"Now what is it ?" I asked him in a irritated tone. Because I am now getting irritate by his constant questions.

"Well actually since the first day I saw you I am getting the feeling that you have some connection with the Void and when I meet you in person that feeling just increased. Tell me about it do you have any connection with Void." He asked me.

How did he know ? You know what screw him!!! I will just tell him.

"Yes, I have a connection with the Void and I can also use the [Turn Null] energy." I said to him and now he seems in deep thoughts.

'Veldanava POV:'

Hm.... Well if Rimuru can use the [Turn Null] energy then what title will suit him and if he had some kind of connection with Void then it's possible that in future he might use [Nihilithy] energy so I need to think of a title which is befitting for both energies.

Let's see...how about The Darkness King or The Nothing or Destroyer? nah that doesn't fit with his name it like should be something like The Void or nothingness.

Ohhh... I found it how about The Embodiment of Nothingness: The Ruler of Void.

Yep this the best it fits perfectly with his name. Aren't I the genius one. Kuhahahahaha haahhaahh hahahaha. Well let's give him a title first.

"I see. That's good to know, now I don't need to hold back anymore. I can let loose ome of my power since you can use [Turn Null] energy I don't have to worry about damage. And since you weild the [Turn Null] energy the second strongest energy in existence. And I have a feeling that you will in the future wild the [Nihilithy] energy. The strongest energy to ever existe and that's why I would like to give you a title that will perfectly fit to you. and that is The Embodiment of Nothingness: 'The Ruler Of Void'" I declared his title and released some of my aura that I usually keep suppressed, it' not all of it only a portion of it.

And about his capability of using [Turn Null] energy, it's not completely unexpected that he can use [Turn Null] energy but it sure surprised that he can use it without getting harmed.

In this battle I am going to use Stardust energy and if he started to use [Turn Null] energy then the damage will be to big.

Ah... What should I do? Yes I will deploy the [Invisible Barrier] around the dimensional layers that is between cardinal world and outer world and I think I should also add a one more layer around it no not one I will add several layers, so in this way even if we accidentally destroy the cardinal world it won't affect the outside world.

Yeah I will do just that. Also I am not going to use my full power anyway so I am sure that only cardinal world will get affected by our fight so there is no need to worry. And if I use my full power then it is possible that more than half of the outside world will get destroyed so I won't use it.

Even though Rimuru had said that he can create the world again but I don't want to take any risks afterall as of right now only I am aware of the outside world.

'Rimuru POV:'

"I see. That's good to know now I don't need to hold back anymore. I can let loose ome of my power since you can use [Turn Null] energy I don't have to worry about damage. And since you weild the [Turn Null] energy the second strongest energy in existence. And I have a feeling that you will in the future wild the [Nihilithi] energy. The strongest energy to ever existe and that's why I would like to give you a title that will perfectly fit to you. and that is The Embodiment of Nothingness: 'The Ruler Of Void'" He said and started to release big aura it's like he was constantly suppressing it before.

Just as he announced that title I heard the voice and it belongs to the Voice Of The World it said,

{Rimuru Tempest: The embodiment of nothingness, The True Demon Lord has been given the title by the creator of the world the 'The Ruler Of Void'}

And just as the Voice Of The World announced I feel like that title become one with me just like my name. I get the same feeling that I got when Veldora named me back then. I don't know about the part of [Nihilithi] energy but I will accept the title.

If that's the case then I will also don't need to hold back anymore.

"Yes you are right. I The embodiment of nothingness: 'The Ruler Of Void' challenge you the Creator, the Star King Dragon Veldanava to fight to the death. Now let's fight!!!" I said and I also start to release my power that I usually keep it suppressed.

'Third Person POV:'

Just as Rimuru said both of them started to release big and strong aura. They release this much aura that other True Dragons aura can be called dwarf.

In one side Veldanava is only releasing some of his own magicules without using external energy like [Stardust]. While on the other hand Rimuru is using his magicules with a little [Turn Null] energy to match Veldanava.

Ciel had already analysed the [Turn Null] energy completely one thousand year ago and she is doing experiments with [Turn Null] energy since that time.

Because of that using [Turn Null] energy in fights is possible. As of right now Rimuru can use the [Turn Null] energy but his body is not capable of using too much energy at the same time. So that's why he is only able use a little energy at one time.

But if he evolve into True Dragon then it won't be any problem for him to use the [Turn Null] energy as he pleases. But still Veldanava can use [Stardust] energy like it's his own so this battle going to be difficult to the current Rimuru.

As they were releasing their power respectively Veldanava made the first move. He disappeared from the sight and appeared in front of Rimuru and started to attack him but to his surprise Rimuru dodged all of his attacks and engaged in a hand to hand combat with Veldanava.

Each time there fist collides massive shockwaves were generated that could destroys mountains.

Seeing their fights the dragon siblings who are watching the battle from the sidelines created barrier's to prevent getting damaged.

Each time they collides their attacks become stronger than before. Right now we can clearly see a satisfied smile on Veldanava's face.

Veldanava was wanted to fight someone for a long time. It has been ages since he had a good fight and right now he found a person who can give him a fight that he wants.

As they were fighting suddenly Rimuru punched Veldanava and backed up and started to prepare for a attack. He gathered huge amount of magicules and added some [Turn Null] energy as well.

"Take this Veldanava 'Chaos Beam'!!!!" Rimuru shouted and attacked Veldanava.

Chaos Beam is a attack which compress magicules at a single point and later released like a beam. Ones the magicules has been compressed there is a layer of [Turn Null] energy is also added on that making it more deadlier.

As Rimuru fired his attack a black beam left from him and went towards Veldanava destroying everything in it's path.

But to Rimuru's surprise just before his attack could reach Veldanava a barrier appeared infront of him and blocked his attack. The barrier is justice King Michael's barrier. Strongest barrier in the world the [Castle Gaurd]. This barrier is absolute and the strongest barrier to ever existe up until now.

Seeing Rimuru's shoked face Veldanava smirked and started to release more of his power. As he was preparing to attack Rimuru, suddenly Rimuru appeared infront of him and didn't let him finish his attack and engaged once again in a hand to hand combat.

But this time Rimuru has reinforced his body with [Turn Null] energy to match Veldanava's growing power. And it was effective because each of Rimuru's attack were giving some damage to Veldanava.

But Veldanava is also a started to coat his hands with Stardust and retaliate Rimuru.

It has been eight hours since they are fighting and almost all of the continents has been destroyed.

Each of Veldanava's punch and kick was parried by Rimuru and each of Rimuru's attack was parried by Veldanava. They were in complete stalemate.

To enjoy the fight they didn't even used any other attack than hand to hand combat.

Right now Veldanava's existence value is 400,880,680 and it is constantly rising because of the Stardust energy.

While on the other hand Rimuru is using [Turn Null] energy to increase his body's durability and circulating the [Turn Null] energy in his whole body.  Right now Rimuru's existence value is 100,380,500 and constantly increasing because of the [Turn Null] energy.

After seeing no way to hit Veldanava Rimuru back down a little and starting to prepare his next attack. After preparing he fired his next attack which is [Void Beam] the stronger version of [Chaos Beam].

But to his surprise Veldanava just absorbed his attack. Veldanava has recreated [Beelzebub] using [Ahura Mazda] specially to consume Rimuru's attack.

After recognising the skill that Veldanava has used moments ago which is his previous skill of Rimuru. He is completely shoked. And in this shock he asked his trusty partner for answers.

>>Hey how is this possible that Veldanava has [Beelzebub] and it seems like he also have some kind of barrier like my [Uriel] ?<<

<<Master after analysing individual Veldanava through soul corridor I found out that has ultimate skill [Creation Lord : Ahura Mazda] which can allow the user creat anything as long sufficient information and energy. And also it seems have all of Vertue series Sin skills along with some other skills.>>

>>I see that explains it. But seriously it's a damn one heck of a cheat ability to have. I wish I could have something like that.<<

<<There is no need to worry master because I have already acquired all the data that Veldanava has. And now it possible recreate this skill with [Shub-Niggurath] and integrate useful part of skills into master's skills. Would you like do integration ?>>

>>First tell me how long it will take and in this time will I be able to use my skills ? And why I can't use the [Turn Null] energy like Veldanava is using his [Stardust] energy? Didn't we have already finished analysis of [Turn Null] energy ?<<

<<First it will take approximately 2-3 hours of time to finish the integration and stabilize skills. In this master can't use his skills or rather can only some part masters And we have already finished analysis [Turn Null] energy. But energy way wants more efficiently it, for that current body is not strong enough withstand power if were evolve into True Dragon then possible however wants.>>

>>I see if that's the case then the only thing is I have to evolve into True Dragon. So how much of analysis of Veldanava's Dragon Factor has been completed ?>>

<<It has more than 75% analysed and till the integration will complete analysis of Veldanava's Dragon Factor be also finish.>>

>>You completed Velzard and Velgrynd's Dragon Factor in minutes, then how come Veldanava's Dragon Factor is taking so long ?<<

<<It is because we didn't absorbed the Dragon Factor of Veldanava and Veldanava's different more complex than others also analysing through soul corridor will take time consuming it.>>

She said in which tone that said that how could you doubt my abilities.

>>Ok.. ok.. you don't have to say like that. I get it. Then you start the integration and complete the analysis of his Dragon Factor and in the mean time I will deal with him.>>

<<Understood. >>

Just as Rimuru was finished talking with Ciel Veldanava appeared infront of him and punched him on the stomach hard that he crashed on what remains of once a beutiful land with big mountains behind him. And because of the impact of his crash the land behind him got destroyed completely.

"Damn that was powerful. Seriously how powerful are you exactly ?" Rimuru said.

Rimuru said that as he came out of the destroyed mountains. Just as he come back once again Veldanava attacked him but this time he has a sword in his hand.

(A.N. It's not his Genesis grade sword, it's a his different mythical grade sword.)

Seeing incoming Veldanava sword in hand Rimuru also drew his sword. And they clashed again. But this time not using that much power.

But to spice things up Rimuru coated his sword with [Turn Null] energy and started to attack Veldanava. And to respond Rimuru Veldanava also coated his sword with Stardust energy. And they clashed again.

Originally [Turn Null] energy is stronger than Stardust energy but because of Rimuru's body is not strong enough he can't use the [Turn Null] energy to it's fullest. And that's why instead of having a upper hand Rimuru is locked with Veldanava in stalemate again.

Each time their blades collides they increase the amount of energy they apply on their swords. Right now Veldanava's swords existence value is around 8,500,803 and still increasing because of the Stardust energy.

While on the other hand Rimuru's swords existence value is around 6,830,808 and it's also increasing because of the [Turn Nul]l energy.

Also their existence value is constantly increasing because Veldanava is using Stardust energy.

While in the other hand as Rimuru is fighting his body is starting to absorb [Turn Null] energy faster than before. That's why Rimuru is getting stronger by each passing second.

Seeing that they are in a stalemate Veldanava kicked Rimuru and backed away and starts to gather energy in his hand.

"You are strong Rimuru truly a worthy opponent. But I think it's time to end this battle." Veldanava said and the magicules in his hand started to take shape of a dragon.

"I don't think this battle will end this early because I am just getting started Veldanava!!" Rimuru replied back to Veldanava in a full confidence.

Just as Veldanava is gathering energy Rimuru is also starting to Coat his sword with more and more [Turn Null] energy.

"Take this 'Star Break'!!!!!!" Veldanava shouted and fired his attack towards Rimuru.

"I won't be defeated that easily this is for you 'Void Slash'" Rimuru said to Veldanava and fired his attack in response to Veldanava's attack.

Just as Veldanava fired his attack a bluish pink Dragon made of magicules and Stardust energy started to head towards Rimuru.

In response to Veldanava's attack, a pitch black slash came from Rimuru that can destroy heavens and hell itself. It's the Void slash the upgraded version of Chaos slash and one of attacks that instead of half [Chaos Energy] and half magicules. This is a attack made of 85% of [Turn Null] energy and 15% of magicules.

In the middle of the air both of their attacks collided and it created a big explosion. The explosion that destroyed almost half of cardinal world.

But to them it's not a problem because they are too focused on their fight that they didn't care about the other trivial things like the damege that was done.

"Kuhahahahaha haahhaahh hahahaha " after seeing the result Veldanava started to laugh.

Seeing him laughing Rimuru was totally lost for the words. So he asked,

"Why are you laughing exactly?"

"I knew it. I knew it that you will be able to give me a good fight. A fight that I was waiting for. A fight where I can use atleast some of my power. Now let's continue our battle Rimuru. Show me what you  got!!!!!" Veldanava answered Rimuru and started to attack again.

They again clashed and in just seconds they have exchanged more than million blows. After some time they separated and now we can see Veldanava who have only few scratches here and there. And Rimuru with few wounds here and there.

Actually in reality they both are good swordsman but Veldanava has more power experience than Rimuru that's why Veldanava was able to inflict more damage on Rimuru.

And they once again engaged in hand to hand combat. And after nearly two hours they separated and started to observe their surroundings.

As of right moment half of the cardinal world is already destroyed. It could have been more but the [Invisible Barrier] is keeping damage a little.

Rimuru and Veldanava both of them had separated and taking some time to look at their surroundings and now they are seeing the damage that they have made.

"Damn we nearly destroyed half of the world huh.." Rimuru said examining the surroundings.

"Yeah you are right may be we should limit our power's some more." Veldanava said to Rimuru thinking about the damage.

After hearing this Rimuru thaught for some seconds and a idea come in his mind and to make sure that he is right he asked his trusty partner,

>>Hey Ciel after evolving into True Dragon can I be able to make the world as it was before using my skills?>>

<<Yes, master can do this with multiple ways like using [Reality Manuplation] make all of nothing happened or [Turn Null] energy recreate the whole world and also after integration create everything that desire.>>

>>Damn I am sure that you are going to do something crazy with my skills again.<<

<<All I do is master's sake.>>

>>Yeah I know. I never said to not to do that I just said that you are going to do make my skills more stronger like something crazy again.>>

<<Master should be the strongest.>>(in a low voice)

>>Did you say something?<<

<<No it's just your imagination>>

>>I guess you are right. It's probably just my imagination.<<

"Don't worry about the damage I can restore it using Turn Null and some other skills of mine. So there is no need to hold back we can fight to our hearts content." Rimuru said to Veldanava.

At this point Rimuru is also starting to enjoy this battle.

"I see if that's the case I can use some more power." Veldanava said.

Just as he said that he started to release more of his energy. And the air around him changed and the magicules around him also start to disarray.

The overwhelming power that Veldanava is releasing right now is easily dwarfing other's like Rimuru, Veldora, Velzard and Velgrynd.

Right now Veldanava's existence value is 650,008,500 (650 M) and constantly increasing because right now he is using Stardust energy while simultaneously releasing his magicules.

While on the other hand Rimuru's existence value is 120,380,500 (120M) and constantly increasing because of the [Turn Null] energy. But still it's nothing compare to Veldanava.

And in addition to that a sword also appeared in Veldanava's hand this is Veldanava's Sword: The God's Star. The one and only Genesis Grade sword in entire existence as of right now.

"This is my power Rimuru. Now prepare yourself Rimuru here I come." Veldanava said to Rimuru.

Just as he said that Veldanava disappeared from his place and appeared infront of Rimuru and attacked him with his sword.

Rimuru was narrowly managed to avoid the Veldanava's last attack. But in this moment Rimuru has senced that his sword is far inferior compared to Veldanava's sword.

That's why to match Veldanava's sword he coated as much as [Turn Null] energy his sword can take and prepared for the next attack.

Not wanting to give Rimuru any time Veldanava followed Rimuru and attacked him once more but Rimuru intercept his attack with his sword coated with [Turn Null] energy.

After clashing with Veldanava Rimuru was barely able to hold himself against Veldanava. And his sword was nearly destroyed and verge of shattering that time.

"This was fun Rimuru but it's time to end this battle!!!!" Veldanava once again said and started to gather huge amount of Stardust in his hand.

"Prepare yourself and take this 'Star Canon'!!!!!!!" Veldanava said and fired his attack towards Rimuru.

(A.N. Star Canon is just a alternate version of Milim's Drago Nova but more than hundred times stronger than a full power Drago Nova.)

Just as Veldanava said that a bluish pink coloured beam left from him which now looks like a canon and this canon is traveling towards Rimuru.

The attack that Veldanava has fired towards Rimuru is actually quite powerful. And powerful mean if it is possible to measure existence value of a attack then the existence value of this attack will be around more than 100,000,000 (100M).

Seeing the incoming attack Rimuru was in a state of panic because if he would to take that attack head on then he will most likely die and if he dodged this attack then most likely the world will end and he doesn't like both of things. Also he can't use his skills too. Because right now they are in the process of Integrating. And in this situation he decided to call his trusty partner for help.

>>Ohh.. crap what should I do? Now I don't have anything to defend against that thing. Ciel what should I do. Do something!!!!<<

<<Don't worry master because analysis of individual Veldanava's True Dragon Factor has been completed. Also integration master's skills is Now evolving into possible so would you like to evolve Dragon?>>

>>If I were to evolve right now then will I be able to take this attack head on, right ?<<

<<Yes. It will be an easy task.>>

>>Then start my evolution into True Dragon.<<

<<Understood. >>

And the end.

Guy's do you want a lemon chapter between Rimuru and Ciel? If yes then please tell me in comments.

That's it for today guys. Please tell me how is this chapter in comments. It really motivates me to write more chapters.

Veldanava's current existence value: 660,000,000 (660 M) and constantly increasing because of the Stardust energy.

Rimuru's current existence value (before evolution into True Dragon) = 125,805,500 (125.8 M) and constantly increasing because of the [Turn Null] energy.
