Gaining Control Over the Western Nations; The End of the Meeting

"So all we needed to do was follow Lord Rimuru and assist her in managing this system of semi-dominating humanity."

Diablo stated his conclusion with a serious expression.

Meanwhile, Rimuru's little face was still utterly confused. When had she ever thought that!?

Dominate humanity!? Had she ever entertained such a terrifying idea?!

She was just a little Slime who wanted to farm and live a peaceful life.

Rimuru was so anxious she was almost crying, yet she did not dare show even the slightest reaction.

Although Rimuru had no idea about the things Diablo had said, she knew one thing: right now, nodding was her only choice.

No matter what Diablo said, all she had to do now was nod.

Ari understood, but Ari did not refute him. That meant that while what Diablo said was not the truth, it was definitely not wrong either.

As for everything else, they could discuss it after the meeting!

With that in mind, Rimuru put on an extremely serious expression and nodded as though confirming Diablo's words.

"Is that so!? You pretend to give humans the right to choose, allowing them to enjoy the illusion of happiness and peace they created themselves, so they would fear losing it? I see."

After listening to Diablo's Diablo-fied explanation and seeing Rimuru's unfathomable response, Guy instinctively believed what Diablo had said.

After all... Diablo made so much sense!

Fine! You used more words, so I'll listen to you.

"That's right. Humanity will be grateful to Lord Rimuru for protecting the peace, and they will assist in building a peaceful society from now on."

"This is far more efficient than that method you came up with, ruling through bloodshed and terror."

Seeing that this "simple-minded musclehead" had finally understood Lord Rimuru's greatness, Diablo nodded with great satisfaction.
