After that came the story of Ari leaving in search of opportunities and advancing to become an Awakened Demon King.
"Battle Guy, suppress the Twin Kings, and forge the name of an Emperor."
What came afterward was even more exaggerated. Ari's strength seemed to have no end.
"At the Martial Arts Tournament, slay a True Dragon, defeat an emperor, and crush Guy and the emperor even when they joined forces, earning the title of the continent's strongest."
"Geo Archon," "God of Rock," "Martial God," "God of Precious Metals," "God of Contracts"... and so on.
These were the titles of Mo Li that were widely spread across the continent.
Hearing Rimuru's question, Ciel fell silent.
Because with that one question, Rimuru had struck directly at a gap in Ciel's knowledge.
It could be said that, given Ciel's current status and abilities as a Divine Consciousness Core, there were pitifully few things in this world that Ciel did not know. It would not be an exaggeration to say they could be counted on one's fingers.
The current Ciel could be described as pseudo-omniscient and omnipotent.
But Ciel truly could not answer Rimuru's question.
Because... she genuinely did not know.
She did not know in the most literal sense.
Ever since Ciel had been born, she had never been able to see through Morax.
She could not see through him during her time as Great Sage, nor during her time as King of Wisdom, and even now that she had become a Divine Consciousness Core, she still could not see through him!
When Morax stood before Ciel now, he was like an unknown source of golden energy.
And once she probed deeper, into his interior, she would discover that it was a bottomless abyss!
Ciel had only one way to describe Morax's essence.
