Chapter 10 Part 2

He then looked towards Rimuru, "Seeing as there has been an opening, you can take one of the seats, so long as you are strong enough that is."

Hearing that Rimuru released the restraint he had on his 'Aura' allowing everyone to feel his power, Carrion, Frey and some of the attendants weren't even able to stand.

Seeing this he quickly reigned in his 'Aura'.

Guy looked towards everyone and said, "Well then, does anyone have any issues with Rimuru Tempest becoming a Demon Lord?"

No one had any problems seeing as Rimuru was quite strong, on top of being a True Demon Lord, so that was over fairly quickly.

Rimuru's title ended up being Rising Star: Rimuru Tempest, quite fitting if you ask me.

As of now the current Demon Lords are Guy, Ramiris, Milim, Dagruel, Luminous, Dino, Leon, Me, and then Rimuru.

A grand total of nine.

Hmm, we can't be called the Ten Great Demon Lords with only Nine Members.

I decide to bring this up, "Hey, since we only have nine members we can't be called the Ten Great Demon Lords anymore."

….

"How unfortunate. We will have to come up with a new name, it's a matter of dignity." Why does Dagruel look constipated?

Luminous decided to chime in, "Fortunately we are still in the middle of a Walpurgis, I'm sure we can come up with something good."

"Ugh, we had to hold Walpurgis over and over again to come up with that name, what a pain." Even Dino is taking this seriously.

I guess the Walpurgis really is a glorified tea party if they hold it for mundane matters like that.

Luminous then looked at me with a devious smile, "How about the two new members come up with a name?"

Gah! What the fuck Luminous! I suck at names, I had to use names from fictional works in order to name my subordinates! I will have my revenge!

I look towards Guy, surely he will take my side, he said he wanted to be my friend right?

He smirks at me before he says, "Hmm, that's a good idea, so how about it Felix, do you have any good names?"

Bastard, why are you targeting me?! Rimuru is also a new Demon Lord!

I look towards Rimuru for help, but the little shit is looking to the side pretending he doesn't see me.

Aha, I know what to do.

I use Thought Acceleration which has been upgraded to increase my perception by ten million times and ask Odin.

'Odin, can you come up with a name? Surely with all your processing power you are capable of that right?'

'Answer. It is indeed possible to come up with a few names to choose from. Multiple names have been generated, The Nine Sovereigns, The Infernal Council of Nine, The Ninefold.'

'Gah! Why the fuck are they all so chuuni?'

'It is highly likely that The Lord of Darkness Guy Crimson will only accept such names.'

Of course.

Well, I might as well pick the least chuuni of them all.

I stop using Thought Acceleration as I take a sip of my wine and look towards everyone, "How about 'The Nine Sovereigns'?"

From the looks on everyone's faces it seems like everyone likes it.

"I like it! It's the coming of a new age!" Thanks for the enthusiasm Milim.

"Umu! As expected of Felix." Gah, I don't know what to say to that Ramiris, I just asked Odin for help….

"Hm... I suppose it will do." Why is Luminous acting like a tsundere?

"Oh wow, nice, that was quick." Dino seems happy, he must have hated coming up with a name the last time this happened huh?

"No complaints from me." Seems like Leon just doesn't care.

"Hmm, very well then. As of today, we are 'The Nine Sovereigns' Khahaha!"

Seeing as everyone is getting up it seems the meeting is over.

Rain stood out and said, "Then I shall once again introduce 'The Nine Sovereigns'."

This meeting went well, I'm glad I didn't have to do something as bothersome as fighting to prove my power.

"Daemon, The Lord of Darkness: Guy Crimson-sama." Gah, that title man, I guess I might as well embrace the chuuni.

"Pixie, The Labyrinth: Ramiris-sama. Dragonoid, The Destroyer: Milim Nava-sama. Giant, The Earthquake: Dagruel-sama." Man, Dagruel looks like he just wants this to be over with, poor guy. He must have to go through these kinds of things often. 

"Vampire, The Queen of Nightmare: Luminous Valentine-sama. Fallen, The Sleeping Ruler: Dino-sama. Demonoid, The Platinum Saber: Leon Cromwell-sama. Daemon, The Usurper of Black: Felix-sama. And finally, Slime, Rising Star: Rimuru Tempest-sama. This concludes the introductions."

And that's how I became a Demon Lord.

We ended up heading to a casual lounge of sorts that was next to the meeting room.

Guy's maids prepared an extravagant meal for us, and boy did it look delicious.

It wasn't mandatory to attend, but most of the present Demon Lords did.

The attendants were also allowed to participate, so Arcueid and Megumin took the seats next to me.

As I wait for the food I ponder on how I can go about bridging the gap between Guy and I.

'Do you have any ideas Odin?'

'Answer. The easiest way for the Master to gain strength in a relatively short period of time is through acquiring a second name.'

'A second name? Like a last name or something like Rimuru and Guy both have?'

'Correct, due to there not being many beings who can name you without consequence it is recommended that the Master is named by the masses. Through spreading your name, the collective belief of the masses can grant enough energy for the Master to give himself a second name.'

'Through collective belief? So sort of like a legend?'

'Correct.'

I see, now how do I go about that. Maybe I can just have Guy spread my name as the Demon Lord Felix White instead of just the Demon Lord Felix?

That's the name I plan to use anyway, it would be a hassle to have it spread as Demon Lord Felix, only for it to change to Felix White.

"It seems the meeting went well my lord."

I turn towards Arcueid, "Yeah, I don't think it could have gone much better, I'm satisfied with the results."

"Ghaha! I can't wait til Noir hears about your title! He's gonna be annoyed for sure!" I give Megumin a half lidded stare, I have a feeling she's going to be a bit of a trouble maker.
