3rd Pov
In the Capital of the Empire of Orion.
On the Continent of previously known Death Lands now renamed as the Land of Dragons, Darconia.
[A/n Generic much?]
From the skies, the island Continent didn't look the same as it was hundreds of years ago. In place of its barren basalt filled hills, lush plains, hilly mountains, deep forests and multiple reservoirs of lakes and rivers flowing.
Different types of Dragons which controlled elements of their own roamed the lands. Some breathing ice, some fire some electricity and some even sound.
In the middle all of this, stood the looming tower. A dungeon in the form of a Castle, from where everything started. Surrounding the castle was now a bustling city. A eutopia of Monsters, demi-humans, demons and other creatures. The harmony and unity shared in the city could never have been witnessed before.
And inside the Throne room of this castle Sat the Emperor, the ruler of this lands. The Dragon OverLord Bael.

Bael Pov.
Openning my eyes, I felt something. Something which told me that It has begun.
'Rimuru has Arrived.'
Medusa too noticed the changes. As she looked at me, as if asking what to do.
"Let it be Medusa, we'll wait for the right moment. Then we will see what changes has occurred in Jura."
"Understood my Lord." I know Medusa is confused of my decision internally but is too loyal enough to question me.
Such Loyalty only few have the luck of having. But unfortunately this sort of creates a barricade where I am unable to free talk with my Guardians, I tried to lessen this effect of them being too loyal to ask any questions to my actions but even after 500 years, the changes are minimal.
But they changed, and it was a testament that their functions and feelings were not permanent. It can be changed. This just went both ways. Both good and bad can be taken from this.
Anyways, Why don't we talk about the changes that has occurred during this 300 years?
For starters, The Empire has grown quite a bit, it now holds 50% of the whole Worlds GDP. Meaning that we are now the riches Empire in terms of Money.
We have yet to establish any connections with The Eastern empire but other then them every region, whether ruled by demon lords or humans have a trade relation with us.
Speaking of trade relations, we hold almost all of the Comercial market in our hands. Meaning that almost every product sold at the market is produced by us.
Technology wise, I have tried to limit the amount of technological advancements by as much as I could to slow the time of the Tenma War. I could just March to the Eastern Empire and Kill Rudra but There's no fun in that. I'd much rather have fun with whatever Rimuru will do.
But although I halted the technological advancements, it doesn't mean that I stopped it completely. Technologies like refrigerators, telephones, and self lighting street lights are some of the gadgets that Orion is using. And all these are runned through Magicules. Or more precisely Magi-current.
A nano-meter thin string of Magicules that works like electric currents. The best thing about them is that there is no need for ugly wires to be set up everywhere. You just need to inscribe the right runes on the object and the Magi-current will redirect to that object.
Next up would be the small cold wars between Orion and the neighbouring Kingdoms that is going on. From schemes like Indebtion and Propaganda, we have secured most of them in our hands. This fact is not written on paper officially but everyone knows how Orion has control of the lands.
In present Orion has control over the borders of Half the Kingdom of Ingrassia, The western nations, sorcerers dynasty, and a part of the Jura Forest.
I got The Part as a side gift from Guy after me and Velzard kinda decimated the forest.
He was quite annoyed at the recklessness we displayed that day.
Well what could I do? Velzard had forced me into have a fight, by her words she said it's a sister-brother bonding moment and I should cherish it.
Next thing is the fact that how frequently Milim and Guy has been visiting Me. Especially Milim, she sort of sees me as an Uncle due to me being a True Dragon. And somehow I feel the need to reciprocate such relationship. As if me being a True Dragon has influenced such feelings.
During our first meeting we did have a "spar" which resulted in the destruction of a dwarf planet but that's a story for another chapter.
Anyways, her Visits always accompanies her with Destruction. Just yesterday she destroyed the Castle's Gates as she entered. Poor Castle Gate, It was just a millisecond late from opening and Milim punished it for such slight. I pray for you Door Kun.
The next thing would be that I have acquired a General. Not from Deudenia but from Jura.
The father of Hakuro, the Org Swordsmaster himself. Hakuro's father, Haguro was a called the Demon Swordsman. And it was a perfect title that displays his prowess.
Haguro was a 700 years old Oni who upon being named by me became a Divine Oni after taking a small amount of Divinity from me. He is now the ruler of the New Orion, the
Successor of Gemmera from where all this started.
Through his powers, he is akin to a regional God in New Orion. He acts as a Government Head of my provinces. Every Province Head reports to him who then reports to me directly. He has also quickly connected with Yama and Roku because of them sharing the same discipline of swordsmanship and discipline.
I could have taken Hakuro in as well but decided against it. Maybe because of me taking him I might change the canon so I didn't. I wanted to ensure that Rimuru becomes powerful enough so that he can handle everything after I leave for another Universe.
Yes, another universe. It has been 500 years, and I have become quite bored of this world, I want to enjoy something new and maybe venture out to other worlds? Well that's quite far in the future anyways so I will try to keep it in the back of my mind.
Speaking of Divine Oni, My Faith has spread quickly and has gained a lot of supporters. From which I am able to draw Faith from which gets converted into divinity. The amount of Divinity in me is very small compared to my Magicule reserves, but I am sure that mine is the largest of all.
With this, I have officially become stronger than everyone, but Veldanava. For me to reach his level, I am still quite far away.

Somewhere in a deep cave, where a peculiar scene of a Dragon and Slime standing face to face with each other talked.
The dragon roared in jubilation as he declared.
"From this Day forth I am Veldora Tempest! And you shall be known as Rimuru Tempest, my sworn Brother!!"
