Back in Tensura, Akira's lovers were still in that world. Tension was starting to build itself up after not seeing him for so long.
"YOU CAN ALL DIE!!" The first one to feel the lack of Akira was Carrera. She was releasing her frustration by bombarding human villages with nuclear spells.
"DIIIE!!!" Carrera created hundreds of nuclear orbs then threw them all over the first village of the day.
The citizens were running around like headless chickens. The buildings collapsed and the people fell on the ground like dead flies.
While a family was escaping, the children stumbled on the ground and fell on the floor. "M-Mom... Come pick me up I'm scared..." The children, filled with despair, mumbled.
Though luckily, he was reunited back with his family...
In the sky, they all died in a futile attempt of running away from Carrera's frustration.
The Primordial Blonde Demon did not give two shits about that kid nor any of the innocent humans. What imported her at this moment was calming herself up by killing and draining her unlimited energy.
But Carrera wasn't the only primordial at the scene. Arriving, Ultima was curious on what caused Carrera to be so angry.
"What's wrong, Carrera?" Ultima asked, levitating beside Carrera.
Carrera summoned a last orb that was the size of a fucking boulder then threw it with all her strength at the village. This attack caused an explosion so powerful the buildings became ashes and the ground transformed into an endless pit, surrounded by a desert.
The survivors were reduced to dust and the poor village was irradiated, with only a huge crater remaining at the center.
Carrera suddenly burst in tears, "Wh-Why did Akira leave us...??" She asked, trembling and crying.
But suddenly all her tears and sadness disappeared when she saw Ultima holding a blue haired girl in her hands. "Huh? Who the fuck is that?" Carrera asked.
The blue haired girl, also known as the Chancellor of The Jura Tempest Federation or formerly Satou Mikami, was none other than the ex-main character of the Tensura Series ; Rimuru Tempest.
Rimuru was just looking around, worried and utterly shocked. "I-I'm R-Rimuru Tempest! Sworn friend of Veldora the True Dragon—" She tried intimidating them by revealing her friendship with Veldora, but that turned against her when Ultima interrupted her with a bloodthirsty expression and dead eyes that pierced Rimuru's very soul.
"Oh~ and who gave you permission to speak, my little slime~?" Ultima spoke, her saliva was drooling, her tongue stretching it demonically. Rimuru would have soiled herself if she could, 'TEHEEE!!' She screamed inerly.
"Hahahahaha~... I was just joking!" Ultima giggled, apparently all her anger was just made up.
"That's Rimuru, she met with Akira a week ago, she's a slime!" Ultima introduced Rimuru to Carrera.
"Huh, I just remembered, this chick met with 'Kira in private..." Carrera glared menacingly at Rimuru, this made her shiver. 'I just wanna go home...' Rimuru cried.
Ultima dropped her brows on her eyes in annoyance, "You said earlier that Akira left us... Well Miss Alice told me that he went to another world" Ultima replied to Carrera.
"Huh? But why didn't he take us with him?" Carrera asked, insecure.
"I-I don't know... And it makes me wanna cry..." Ultima said, with a tear in her eye. Suddenly, Carrera was in utter shock when she saw droplets of a transparent glowing liquid dripping from between her legs.
"YAK!!— WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" Carrera shouted, 'D-Don't tell me she just...'
Blushes appeared on Ultima's cheeks and her expression shifted into an 'Eh~'— "Lack of Akira this last week has messed me pretty bad~... Just hearing his name, makes me..."
"Oh for fuck's sakes..." Carrera mumbled.
"I-It makes me...!" Ultima continued, lustfully. "IT MAKES ME WANNA FUCKING—" Suddenly interrupted by Rimuru, "KYAAAH I CAN'T DO THIS AM I GOING TO DIE?? A-ARE YOU GOING TO K-KILL ME?!" She yelled in worry, crying tears of despair.
Ultima's and Carrera's discussion represented a real scourge for Rimuru who had been caught up in this madness.
"R-Right..." Ultima said, retaining herself. Carrera was embarrassed by how TWISTED Ultima was.
Suddenly, an idea struck Ultima's mind, "M-Maybe torturing innocent people will help me!" She shouted.
Ultima threw Rimuru at Carrera, the blonde haired primordial caught Rimuru mid-air. "I'll go see Es-chan if she'd like to kill people with me!" Ultima then flew away.
"HOLD ON ULTIMA! WHAT ABOUT THIS CHICK YOU BROUGHT HERE— I'M NOT FUCKING BABYSITTER!!!" Carrera yelled. Ultima only gave her a few waves as she left Rimuru in her care.
"H-Hi hehe~" Rimuru giggled. Carrera looked at her with a confused expression, "Fuck... Guess I'm stuck with you, shit— try not to hold me back" Carrera said.
Rimuru responded with a nod. "First, you're gonna get off me" Carrera said.
Rimuru jumped from Carrera's grasp and summoned her bat wings, which were considerably less majestic than Carrera's primordial demonic wings.
Noticing their splendeur, Rimuru remembered the fact that Carrera was a Primordial Demon, according to Veldora. Their experience was like East and West. Carrera had lived for dozens of millenias and thus have an unparalleled experience.
Not only knowledge, but the gap in power and strength was unmeasurable. She was a lucky figure who got witness Carrera's 'nuclear meteor' attack.
Having an ally such as Carrera would be very beneficial, and since Carrera was one of Akira's lovers, Carrera probably won't antagonize her, but what if Carrera thinks she's trying to steal her husband's affection— jealousy was a deadly sin Primordial Demons were very familiar with.
"Let's go" Carrera said. "R-Right..." Rimuru replied.
The slime girl took her guard up. 'As long as I don't annoy her, I won't be on her bad side...' Rimuru thought.

Ultima just got back from her trip. She was now walking in the corridors of the Main Building in Akira's domain. Dread emitting from each step she walks as she marched towards Alice's office.
*Nock* *Nock*
"You may enter..." Ultima heard from the other side of the big wooden door.
Opening the portal, Ultima tensed up when dark particles dispersed from the inside of the chamber. She grasped for air when she entered Alice's room, the aura of death that covered the chamber was too powerful and scary.
"M-Miss Alice..." Ultima mumbled.
The tension was world breaking. Yet, Alice was just sitting on a luxurious chair, playing a game of chess. "I-I see you're playing chess..." Ultima mumbled.
"That is not chess." Alice replied. She spared a glance at Ultima which made her shiver, Alice's eyes were cold, emotionless and very dark, her eye colors were no longer gray but black, void black.
"I'm simply doing my work as supervisor of this world..." Alice added. "Every piece is an influencial individual of this world. All just pawns to create a world perfect for Akira..."
She took the 'king piece' and looked at it closely, she caressed it gently then put it back in its place, above every single fucking piece.
Ultima just remained silent. But then, the silence was brocken when Alice took a 'rook piece' with her index and thumb then showed it to Ultima.
"Would you look at that, I even have an Ultima piece..." Alice said. Ultima was shocked, she gulped in terror. Alice was nothing like the angel everyone thought of no no no... She's a cruel, manipulative and ruthless entity that did everything in order to please Akira.
Even if it meant creating useless wars in this world or causing genocides. 'All for the sake of the King— and his exceedingly loyal Queen...' Alice repeated.
"...Queens... But if that's the desire of my lustful King, then I shall accept his demands without question..." Alice said with a cold voice.
"Ultima..." Alice said. "Y-YES!" The Purple Primordial shouted respectfully. Ultima couldn't tell if she was lucky— or unlucky to be witnessing this secret side of Alice.
"Let's start again..." Alice said. She snapped her fingers then reverted back in time, to the moment Ultima entered the chamber.
Alice quickly his the game of chess, called
"Ara~ If it isn't the cute Ultima-chan~!" Alice said, her coldness had completely disappeared. The destructive aura of despair was replaced by a warm breeze that swayed gently on Ultima's cute cheeks.
"P-Please..." Ultima looked away in embarrassment while smiling cutely. Alice let out a chuckle, Ultima was so cute and twisted it was priceless !
"What brings you here cutesy?— Oh! You want to join Akira!" Alice guessed.
"C-Correct, Miss Alice..." Ultima mumbled with red cheeks.
"Hehe~" Alice giggled. "Then tell the other girls to come, I'll send you right away!" She added cheerfully.
Ultima bowed respectfully, "Thank you so much Miss Alice!" She said. After that, she left the chamber.
Alice found herself alone once again. And so, her universal game continued with the same malice from before.

While Ultima had gone back to their domain, Rimuru Tempest remained in Carrera's care. "Alright talking slime, show me what ya' got" Carrera spoke.
They were floating above another human village, Carrera was testing Rimuru's power. A talking slime sounded promising in her head.
"I... Uhh..." Rimuru mumbled, not knowing what to do.
"See that boy over there?" Carrera wrapped her arm around Rimuru's shoulder. She pointed at a young boy that was aimlessly playing around.
"Attack him" She said. Rimuru was shocked after hearing Carrera. Attacking a young innocent boy defied all logical thinking especially with her being formerly human, an act beyond cruelty.
"I-I can't..." She said with a frown and a sad expression. The boy seemed so innocent, why deprive him of a whole future ahead for the sake of entertainment.
But as Carrera was getting impatient, she suddenly received a telepathic call from Ultima. "Yeah? Wassup" She said.
Rimuru glanced at Carrera, she was clearly talking with someone, probably the purple haired girl from before... So scary.
"Fuck yeah i'm coming right now!" Carrera ended the voice call.
Grabbing Rimuru's hand, she announced, "Change of plan, we're leaving" Carrera announced.
"W-Wait a second I—" But before she continued, Carrera summoned her wings and flew quickly towards the direction of Ultima while Rimuru was crying.
This was the prologue to another adventure in a new world.
