Supreme Demonic Being: After The Beginning
Season 2 - Chapter 1

Tempest, the great forest of jura.

the country led by the demon king Rimuru was very peaceful a few days after Walpurgis was committed.

There were no special events except the demon lord Ryu's move to the tempest country which left some of his residents a little shocked.

A room.

"Master, is there anything you want?" Naberal Gamma or Nabe said to Ryu.

Ryu sat near the window of the room and saw the scenery outside where there was a city inhabited by several races of monsters.

"bring me Ramen as usual" Ryu said briefly.

Nabe nodded and bowed then left.

"Is it time?" muttered Ryu.

•••

Ingracia Border.

A few cavalry warriors were passing by at a leisurely pace and their destination was the tempest country.

The army was led by Hinata Sakaguchi, commander of the holy knight Ruberious.

•••

Ingracians.

The adventurer guild building.

Returning from Ruminas' palace, Laplace talks to his friends and informs Clayman of his death.

Like canon Laplace blames himself and taunts the stupid Clayman and makes him and the Footman almost fight.

Yuuki as the leader of their group reprimanded and made them silent. Kazzareem only sighed heavily at Clayman's death which he also considered a subordinate similar to him in the past.

"Now that we have to change our plans, with the formation of a new circle in the Demon King's seat will make some of our plans have to be reconsidered" Yuuki said calmly.

"Indeed, but what are we supposed to do with that Rimuru?" ask Tears doubtfully.

Yuuki thought about it and looked at all of them with a calculating gaze.

Kazzareem is also only silent because Yuuki is taking the decision on his group right now.

"Well, for now, let's look at it for a while and it also seems like Rimuru has started to suspect me because of the incident that Hinata committed at that time." Yuuki.

They nodded in understanding and also understood that Yuuki's decision would make them more cautious.

Yuuki wanted to tell them to leave but was surprised by the appearance of space cracks that occurred in their room.

The group of clowns became alert and stared at the figure that came out from the crack with a tense expression.

When the figure was clearly visible it made them tense and tremble at once especially Kazzareem and Yuuki.

"Next time, Kazzareem"

That figure was none other than Ryu himself. Although now his aura was not felt and just like an ordinary human but the group knew that it was just like a deep calm sea.

"You-you...??" Kazzareem stutters to see Ryu in front of him.

The group of clowns were also nervous to see the Demon King in front of them. Yuuki calmed himself down a little but still felt tense and nervous because he did not know the purpose of this person's arrival.

Ryu paid them no heed and walked towards the sofa then sat down casually.

The space gap was closed and the atmosphere became heavy and silent.

"Don't be nervous, I didn't come here to mean anything evil or harm you" Ryu said lightly.

Kazzareem and Yuuki only frowned because they did not understand what Ryu wanted to do.

"W-what so? Then what's your purpose in coming to us?" Tears asked with a stutter .

"T-Tears???" Kazzareem was suddenly startled and raised his voice when he saw Tears' actions.

"????"

Others were surprised by Kazzareem's unusual behavior and confused them.

Ryu looks at Kazzareem who makes him nervous and tense then Ryu's gaze falls on Tears who has the figure of a little girl in clown clothes and a clown mask of crying expression.

"Come here" Ryu and Tears said approaching him doubtfully.

Tears saw Kazzareem who gave her a nod and walked towards Ryu until his presence.

Seeing the little girl in front of him made Ryu smile a little because he remembered some of his memories in his previous life where he also had a good side in children.

Except for Milim of course.

Suddenly a necklace appeared in Ryu's hand and it contained magic energy.

Although it was only for a moment but they could feel the dense mana fluctuation coming from Ryu when the thing appeared.

He then gave the thing to Tears and said, "Your gift. The necklace has a good function so take good care okay?"

Tears saw a necklace with a small black bird shape in her hand and then wore it.

Suddenly the information of the function of the necklace went into his head which made him daze for a moment.

Seeing Tears made them curious but different from Kazzareem who was a little confused by Ryu's behavior.

"Now back to the topic, Kazzareem. Is that hommonculus your new body?" Ryu asked with interest.

"Well that's right. Although imperfect, this is better than not having a body"

"And this is a gift from my boss" Kazzareem said and looked at Yuuki.

Ryu nodded and looked at Yuuki, "Human, what is your ambition?"

At that moment Yuuki's body suddenly came under pressure and made him kneel forcefully which made him startled and frown.

Although his body was strong as a human but the pressure from the demon lord was no joke at all.

Seeing Yuuki's condition makes the clown group want to move but Kazzareem signals quickly not to move.

Seeing their Master gesturing made the group of clowns silent and looked at Yuuki anxiously.

"Ugh..." Yuuki grimaced in pain as if his body wanted to be crushed under this pressure.

"Say man, if there's no way I'll kill you because it's useless to me" Ryu said lazily.

Hearing that made Yuuki shrivel and stiffen.

"I-I want to rule the world.... And change this world" Yuuki said with great difficulty.

"Is that? Only with the anti-skill attribute and the Blocking unique skill can you rule the world?" Ryu uncovers all the cards belonging to Yuuki which makes Yuuki sweat.

Although Ryu did not mention his unique Creator skill but Yuuki was sure that this person already knew that.

Ryu could read what Yuuki was thinking and just felt amused.

"Huh ... Huh .... Hah" suddenly the pressure on Yuuki disappeared which made Yuuki pant.

Ryu looked at Kazzareem and said, "Let's make a deal, I want you to help Rimuru fight Hinata. You're free to do anything but don't kill Hinata or Rimuru"

Kazzareem twitched and looked towards Yuuki who nodded while panting.

"We agree. But what do we get out of that deal?" Tanya Kazzareem hesitates.

Kazzareem was a bit nervous when asking Back because he still remembered the nature of this person.

But not as Kazzareem expected, he saw Ryu slightly smiling a little.

"Take this"

Ryu throws something at Kazzareem and he catches him quickly.

It was a deep red ring with a dragon head pattern engraved throughout the ring circle.

"That thing will be useful to you in the future" Ryu said lightly and got up from his seat.

Kazzareem, Yuuki and the group of clowns just stared at the ring curiously for not feeling anything from the ring.

The open space cracks.

Ryu went inside slowly, "Don't let me down Kazzareem"

Ryu's voice rang out one last time before vanishing along with the space crack.
