The Fated One (Part 1)

Not only is there Veldora, a Dragon Species, but also two awakened Demon Lords, Rimuru and Mo Li. One Dragon Species and two Demon Lords—and not just any Demon Lords, but awakened ones. I ask you, what force on this entire continent possesses such top-tier combat power?

Not to mention, if the story unfolds according to the original plot, Rimuru will definitely befriend the Tyrant of Destruction: Demon Lord Milim, and the Fairy Queen: Demon Lord Ramiris. Milim goes without saying; she's one of the top combat powers on this continent, the pinnacle of strength. As for Ramiris, even if she doesn't have combat power currently, in the original work, 'this Fairy Queen, through her own strength, mediated the war between the Dark Emperor Guy and the Tyrant of Destruction Milim, and together with these two Demon Lords, they are known as the three oldest Demon Lords.' That's not something to be taken lightly.

Furthermore, in the original work, the Platinum Sword King Leon, one of the Demon Lords, jokingly threatened Ramiris, and Guy directly threatened Leon's life. It can be said that Ramiris and Guy have a very good relationship. Plus, she is the queen of the Fairy race, which holds significant weight in Mo Li's heart.

And if the plot doesn't change too drastically, in a short while, Rimuru and Mo Li will undoubtedly need to ask this Fairy Queen for a favor. If Mo Li remembers correctly, Shizue, before her death, entrusted Rimuru with the care of her students.

Because they are children, Shizue's students are already nearing the end of their lives and require the help of High-level Elves to survive. Without Ramiris's assistance, in the original work, Rimuru might not have been able to save those children. To be honest, even if Rimuru couldn't save them, those children wouldn't necessarily die. Chloe, in particular, would certainly not die. She is a powerhouse at the ceiling level within the entire world of the Moe King, known as the strongest Hero, Chloe. Only the cheat-like Moe King, the final big boss Kagurazaka Yuuki, and the Dark Emperor Guy can compare to her. Milim can barely be counted as one. Mo Li truly can't think of anyone else who could match them.

If it weren't for the cheat-like Moe King, Mo Li would suspect Chloe had a heroine's halo. This woman is too monstrous. Guy is strong because he's one of the Seven Primordial Demons; even among the Primordials, only Little Black can compare to him; others can't. Milim is strong because she's the daughter of the Star Dragon King Veldanava, the only Dragonewt. Kagurazaka Yuuki is strong because he has the villain's big boss halo (he had extraordinary abilities even before transmigrating, so what else could it be?). How can she, an ordinary transmigrator, possess such power? If there were only one or two transmigrators, it would be understandable, but in this world, transmigrators are not uncommon; there are even quite a few. Moe King himself has killed several transmigrators and reincarnators. How can Chloe? Mo Li is perplexed. Since when did transmigrators get divided into ranks? Never mind, he won't think about it anymore; the more he thinks, the more unfair it feels.

In any case, Mo Li's immediate priority is to quickly obtain a Demon Lord Seed and, under specific circumstances, acquire enough human souls to awaken as a Demon Lord. Not just an ordinary Demon Lord, but an awakened one. Without becoming an awakened Demon Lord, Mo Li feels uneasy. Only by becoming an awakened Demon Lord can Mo Li have the ability to protect himself in this world. Then, combined with Tempest and the cheat-like Rimuru, Mo Li can also secure a place in this world. At that point, Mo Li can drink tea, eat, watch plays, walk his birds, and live a beautiful retired life.

"Lord Morax, what are you thinking about?"

Suddenly, at this moment, a fair-faced little fairy asked Mo Li curiously. By chatting with Rimuru, this little fairy easily extracted Mo Li's name. However, that guy Rimuru only revealed the name Morax and didn't let out Mo Li's true name.

"Nothing? Just thinking about some past events,"

Mo Li replied calmly.

"Lord Morax, I've always been curious, what race are you?"

At this time, a fairy who had been circling Rimuru came to Mo Li's side and asked curiously.

"Yes, yes! Lord Rimuru is clearly a cute slime. Although you look like a dragon, I feel there's something strange about you."

At this moment, a delicate-looking but somewhat simple-minded little fairy said with some uncertainty.

Rimuru then came to Mo Li's feet. Seeing Rimuru's flushed little face, Mo Li knew this guy was having too much fun. He picked Rimuru up from the ground and held him in his arms.

"Race? I guess I'm a dragon."

Mo Li said with some uncertainty.

"What do you mean 'guess you're a dragon'? Lord Morax speaks so strangely."

The little fairy said with some curiosity.

"Exactly, exactly."

The surrounding fairies chimed in.

"I am indeed a dragon, but different from ordinary dragons. It's hard to explain in a short time, so please just think of me as a dragon."

Mo Li calmly explained to everyone.

This shop is no ordinary shop, and these shop assistants are not simple individuals. They appear harmless, but their purpose is to gather information. Especially the proprietress of this shop; her strength is not weak. To say this is just an ordinary drinking establishment, even a ghost wouldn't believe it.

Mo Li knows that "Night Butterfly" is most likely one of the Dwarf Kingdom's information-gathering locations.

Mo Li is aware of this, so he only says what he can, and doesn't mention anything he shouldn't.

Things like where he came from and what he's doing are not important; it doesn't matter much if he says them. Because even if Mo Li doesn't say them, they can find out themselves.

Especially when they heard that Mo Li and Rimuru were establishing their own forces, a glint appeared in their eyes.

Just then, seeing that the time was right, a little fairy hurriedly changed the subject and said.

"Lord Morax and Lord Rimuru, would you like to play a fun game?"

The little fairy said mysteriously to Mo Li and Rimuru.

"What fun game?"

Hearing "play," Rimuru, sitting in Mo Li's arms, asked curiously.

Mo Li, already familiar with this, naturally knew it was nothing more than fortune-telling. It was here that Rimuru learned who his destined person was.

However, Mo Li was also a little curious at this moment. One of Mo Li's purposes for coming to "Night Butterfly" was to divine who his destined person was. Otherwise, Mo Li might not have come to this place at all. Moreover, Mo Li also wanted to know if Rimuru's destined person was still the same as in the original plot, Miss Shizue.
