Chapter 24 - Chapter 23: Greed Ends

After leaving with ciel. Rimuru was confident that things would be fine, after all.. He have a very powerful clone left behind just incase.

Traveling in the vast path of the multiverse roads, and reaching outside the very space of multiverse itself.

There they found something they thought that had died 79 years ago.

Ciel was wrong about the paradox, there was never a paradox. In other term, there was never a future ciel or rimuru who is preventing her vision.

It had a different face but.. They knew who.. What it was..

Is that why veldanava can only seal it for billion of years?

Rimuru Tried to eradicate it from the face of the world and succeeded.. He made sure not a single molecule of it was left..

So how is it alive?

Ivarage was eating dead universes as its power increases by hundredfold everytime it finishes one.

"How?"

Ciel then told rimuru "It's strange, i am certain that definitely is ivarage but... "

"No, the more pressing question is how is it supressing you're vision?"

This ivarage is very weak compare to it's old self.

Either way, it's a dangerous entity.

No matter how small or weak it is, ivarage was not something that should be looked down.

This time though, it's mindless unlike before who absorbed obera's subordinates and manifested consciousness of it's own.

So he used, void god azatoth to quickly dispose of it.

This was no coincidence, the firmanent and ivarage suddenly coming to life was no coincidennce.

Ciel and rimuru was convinced that there is a mastermind.

But who? Who's powerful enough to disrupt their vision despite having the power to see even the end of time.

Now that everything is taken care of, tbe pressence then talks to rimuru.

"You must be rimuru"

After a small exchange conversation with him. Rimuru hedas back to central city back to his room.

Only to see pure destruction.

The bakery was gone, no.. The emtire country is devastated.

From a distance, superman emenating with strong solar power flew towards professor IVO.

His punch did nothing, lex luthor working together with superman fires a barrage of explosives at ivo. But none of their attacks reaches him.

Batman is dead, the flash is dead and his clone is under suspended animation.

What happened?

He was gone for half a day and this is what he come into?

Professor Ivo moved his hand, the soace around him move like he is some god.

The man was radiating with strong megicule power.

He was laughing like a maniac "Fools, i have ascended god hood and you still dares to go against me? Such foolishness.. You are deserving of death"

Lex luthor's upoer half was erased.

Superman is completely emotionless while his body move, despite being battered and no matter what kind of mess he looks like, his eyes was dead while his body keeps fighting.

"Master"

"Yeah" after looking into the past, he found out what had happened.

So rimuru reversed and stopped time.

Watching the IVO in his lab who is absorbing all the megicule.

How did he became that powerful?

In the future history, his body deterioated from megicule poisoning and then used megicule to regenerate his body until his physical form evolved when met the right circumstances.

His clone was put in suspended animation for unkown reason.

But now that time is reversed, rimuru is upset.. Angry at what he did.

Darkseid survived because desoite being ready to kill anything, not a singke human in the invasion did he manage to take a single life.

But this man? 10 hours was all it take for him to decimate 28% of the planets life.

"Lets see you suffer"

Later that time, Ivo woke up in exuriating pain.

His body was falling apart, then he used the very megicule to heal his body.

Over and over again.

It's like he was doused with radiation, tumors growing from his flesh, his skin is falling down.

Rimuru sat at the roof within the darkness watching him suffer.

"Aaaahhh!!" He screamed.

"I-i can't die" im not giving up.

While he was in pain he was happy.. After all, his body was regenerating extremely fast.

The pain was slowly going away too as his body adapts.

Rimuru added a little mix of nihility energy in the.megicule he is absorbing.

Just as he rejoices after thinking he obtained immortality, bis skin was slowly getting erased, like a drawing in paper being erased with eraser.

"Wait.. No, Nooo!!" he panicks as soon as he notices.

Using magic to recreate what was gone, but it never work. "What the hell is going on!???"

I succeeded right?

Why, where did i go wrong!??

While at it, rimuru created a parallel existence of professor IVO as ivo slowly disappears while screaming in pain.

His face filled with despair.

Rimuru left the dying man, and going back to his bakery.

When he tapped into his memory, no words could be said.

Yuki Kagurazaka was still greedier..

He opened the TV and watch the live feed of the devastation in metropolis.

His vision shared to his clone, he saw the clone working with wonderwoman as they caught luthor.

"Tsk, this isn't in my plan" he said.

And before wonder woman could wrap him in her lasso to ask questions, a cloud of smoke exploded and he escaped.

Rimuru saw where he escaped, but just then the real rimuru stopped him.

When wonderwoman asked where he went, rimuru just shook his head.

Tony li had succesfully caught cyborg.

Pressing in the ear oiece, he told the current situation "I got the cyborg"

After a moment, there was still no reply.

What happened? Why are they not answering.

A static sound came and luthor said "Were done, i lost contact with IVO"

Tsk, "kill him" tony li said as the androids went to kill the unconscious cyborg.

Bat drones intercepted the drone, lead digging into their head as they exploded.

"That quick?" He muttered as he quickly escapes before he is caught.

Green lantern came and tended to cyborg.

"Hey bats, cyborg is a mess.. "

Superman dashed towards the escaping gang leader.

"You are not going anywhere"

Batman was on his way to the batcave after seeing multiple dots on his radar.

Someone found the batcave and i attempting to enter.

When he came, it was a mess. Everything was in smoke and robin injured by the shoulder.

All of the armed men are down unconscious, but none are dead.

As soon as batman landed, he went to robin and asks him "what happened?"

"T-the joker... To-took.. Barbara.. "
