The Dimensional Gap
Pov General,
At the Greek Pantheon:
The Greek gods were gathered in a meeting when, at one point, the throne that Hades used broke and collapsed. It was a tremendous shock, as it signified that he had just died.
While many were stunned, Aphrodite sensed a particular energy.
Aphrodite: "A deity of love has just awakened, even if this deity is very minor."
In the future, In the office of the director of Kuoh Academy, Dia, in her form as May, could be seen drinking tea that Rimuru had prepared.
As she savored the superior drink, she paused and frowned.
May: "Rimuru, did you see that scene too?"
Rimuru: "Indeed, it is a wonderful memory."
May glanced at Rimuru, who understood the signal and went to carry out his task.
May: "Inglis-chan, Riri, So-tan, can you erase the memory of all the students except those on the list?"
Sona, Rias: "Understood."
Inglis: "Mother, why shouldn't we erase the memory of those on the list?"
May: "They have no connection to each other and will eventually discover the supernatural. We can leave their memory of this scene intact; they'll just think it was a micro-nap."
After explaining her reasoning, the three girls and their peerage began executing the orders while May reflected on the vision.
May: "And to think that this attack not only managed to destroy the space barrier but also the time barrier. I hope there won’t be any other consequences, like my attack randomly appearing and destroying everything in its path."
Back to the present,
I see Hades starting to disintegrate from my attack that had cut him in half.
I can’t believe what I just did—I’ve killed one of the ten strongest.
Now that I think about it, I feel stronger, and I feel like I truly understand the concept of destruction.
But what makes me happiest is that the Reapers were leaving me and Rimuru in the middle of this place.
When I turned around, I saw Rimuru on the ground, unconscious.
I rushed to her side and sighed with relief when I realized she had only passed out.
Before taking Rimuru and bringing her back to the castle, I felt that something was wrong. When I turned around, I saw a rift where the attack had landed.
My eyes widened in shock—the rift led to the dimensional gap. This is the domain of Great Red, one of the ten strongest beings, whose role is to maintain space.
The dimensional gap is a place where the concept of space is completely distorted, and those who can move through it without suffering consequences are extremely rare.
The rift began to grow, and I quickly drew a hundred sealing runes to stabilize and close it.
Once it was sealed, I carried Rimuru into the palace and placed her in bed. I asked a maid to watch over her, and I learned that all the members of my peerage were in the same state. At that moment, I was certain it was because of my ascension to divinity that they had fainted.
I analyzed the condition of everyone to verify if their fainting had the same cause.
Afterward, I headed to Hades’ palace to find Persephone and inform her that she is now the new ruler of the underworld. I warned her to be cautious, as I would not hesitate to kill her if she followed the same path as her husband.
I then went to Olympus to warn all the gods of my actions and told them I would turn a blind eye, but in return, they would owe me a favor. They had no choice but to listen, or I would destroy the entire pantheon.
There was a goddess who gave me a scorched glare, as if she intended to devour me. Judging by her appearance, I was certain it was Aphrodite staring at me.
