- Felix -
Guy led us to an extravagant dining room, of course everything was made out of ice, but it was still quite beautiful. The table was in a long oval shape with over 10 seats.
Misery and Rain were already here waiting for us with the dishes ready to be served in a cart.
Guy took a seat at the head of the table with Velzard sitting in the middle. I decided to sit at the opposite end, opposite to Guy.
Once we were seated, Rain wheeled the cart around while Misery served us the dishes.
There seemed to be a stew of some kind along with some Dragon meat and some other grilled meat.
We all began eating once we were all served, I took a bite of the steak first seeing as it is what I am most familiar with.
From the taste it seems to be some kind of Fire Dragon, or at least it tastes similar to when Raiden cooks up some Fire Dragon for me.
Huh, the meat in the stew is something I've never had before, and it's incredibly delicious.
'Report. Component analysis complete. It is now possible to recreate the recipes Gryphon Stew, Grilled Spark Panther, and Roast Fire Dragon Steak.'
'Nice! Thanks Odin.'
"So what do you think Felix?" Asked Guy.
I assume she's asking about the food. "It is quite delicious, probably as good as the food my Maid cooks and I love her food."
Guy looked interested. "Oh? You have a maid as well?" For some reason Guy was acting like we were comrades all of a sudden.
"Yeah?"
She shook his head with a sigh. "Nothing nothing." Guy said as she shot a glare to an innocently whistling Rain and a serious looking Misery.
"Hmm, maybe I should stop by sometime to try your Maids food if you are comparing it to Misery's who has been cooking food for me for millenia." Guy asked.
"Hmm, as long as you don't go on a rampage or anything I don't mind. Just make sure you show up when I'm there since I visit Rimuru and Milim relatively often." I responded.
"The Slime eh? He has an Ultimate Skill too, truly this century is becoming quite interesting." Guy muttered.
So Guy knows that Rimuru has an Ultimate Skill huh? I doubt she is aware of what those Skills are though, not to mention I don't think Guy would even consider Rimuru having 4 Ultimate Skills he acquired on his own merit.
Hell even I have only acquired two Ultimate Skills on my own, the rest are copied. And even that's debatable since Odin helped push things along.
As we were finishing up the meal I said, "By the way Velzard."
She paused her eating and looked at me. "Yes?"
"Whenever you decide to visit Veldora come see me first, who knows what will happen if you just show up in Tempest, Veldora will panic, that's for sure. Not to mention Rimuru's reaction to another True Dragon showing up. It would just be easier if you come to me and then I can take you to Tempest and introduce you to Rimuru. Veldora listens to Rimuru so maybe he'll be willing to talk to you if Rimuru encourages it." I respond.
"Hmm, I see. Okay then, I will see you before I visit Veldora." Velzard acquiesced.
I nodded. "Good."
It's good that she listened, who knows if she just shows up in Tempest a fight might just start due to multiple overreactions. Velzard has more raw power than me, even when I'm using Satanael at 40%.
Hmm speaking about unsealed form, Odin had detected that she was limiting her power output for some reason.
I wonder why?
"Velzard." I called out.
She looked at me. "Yes?"
"Why is a portion of your power sealed?"
"Ah, you can even sense that? It is far easier to control my power in this sealed state. In my true form accidentally waving my hand may obliterate Veldora or Velgrynd. Not to mention another side benefit that I will not be talking about." Ah, so similar to what Freeza had done huh?
I nodded. Controlling one's power is a real issue in this world huh? Not everyone is fortunate to have a Skill that can control your own power for you.
In her current form I'd say her raw power is still greater than mine, but who knows about how strong she really is in her true form?
I'd like to think I'd still have a chance seeing as she fought Guy to a standstill, but who knows. I'm sure Guy fought her to a standstill with pure technique rather than raw power, after all Milim wasn't even born at that point so he couldn't have used Satanael to power up.
It's probably just best to avoid a fight with her in general. Leaving the scary True Dragon alone is probably the best course of action.
'Answer. Correct.'
We quickly finished our meal at which point I decided it was about time to leave.
"Alright, I've been far from my territory for long enough now so I am going to head back."
"I see, then feel free to visit me whenever you wish, I could use the distraction." Guy responded.
"Yeah yeah." I turned towards Velzard and gave her a wave, one she responded to.
I snapped my fingers and appeared inside of my bedroom back in my territory.
No matter how much I teleport it still feels surreal.
"My Lord!" I heard someone say from outside the door.
"Come in!" I respond.
The door opens and in comes all of my direct subordinates, Saeko, Raiden, Kurumi, Arcueid, Megumin, and Lalatina. I could even see Ingvild hiding out in the back.
"You didn't all have to come and greet me, I told you I would be fine."
"Haha, I knew you'd be fine!" Megumin said enthusiastically. "So how'd it go! Did you fight?!"
Of course that's what she wants to know. "We did spar a bit though nothing serious."
"Ah, I wish I could have watched that." Said Megumin.
"I am happy for your safe return My Lord." Said Arcueid.
I gave her a nod.
Kurumi just shifted into her fox form and took a seat on my shoulder while Lalatina said, "As expected of my Master!" Man these guys took my meeting with Guy as a really big deal huh? They seemed quite confident in my return too.
"Ah! Felix-sama, I am glad that you have returned!" Said Saeko.
"Thank you Saeko."
Raiden just assumed a position behind me, not saying anything.
Ah, someone is missing huh? "Where's Sukuna at?"
Arcueid is the one who responded this time. "As your butler it is his duty to make sure your reign is unimpeded, or so he said. So I sent him to deal with some bugs who were not following the rules of your territory My Lord."
Oh, so he is sort of acting as a prosecutor or something?
"I see, good work Arcueid. Now as much as I appreciate you guys greeting me I need to head to the training dimension. I want to fully understand the new Skills I got from my fight with Guy."
"Of course My Lord." They all left, though not after each giving me their own version of a goodbye.
I teleported into the training dimension to begin fully understanding what truly changed. The moment I got Gabriel I could feel my understanding over the concept of Time improve astronomically, my understanding of Infons also increased, though I'm pretty sure that's due to Odin.
Ouroboros on its own is primarily focused on Space with some power over Time, but Gabriel's power over Time makes Ouroboros' former power over Time a complete joke.
Of course now that Ouroboros has been upgraded using data from Gabriel that is different.
Honestly gaining Gabriel has been a massive boon, my raw power might not have increased but I am far stronger than I was before for a few reasons.
Gabriel's sub-skills include Fixation, this is what Velzard used on Guy and attempted to use on me.
It basically locks something to its current state, essentially putting something into a temporal stasis.
