This was beyond his expectations. He didn't know what happened or what force saved him.
Then, a voice came into his mind.
The voice was deep and majestic, as if coming from a god in ancient times.
But if you listen carefully, you can hear some humane playfulness.
"You're so ugly and so tasteless! What gives you the courage to dance in front of me?" The voice was filled with a hint of disdain and anger. This was what Rimuru heard the moment he woke up.
"Huh? A human life form? It looks quite good. You'll be in charge of this device from now on."
Next, when the other party noticed Rimuru, there was a hint of surprise and anticipation in his voice, as if he had discovered a precious treasure.
"You saved me? Who are you?" Rimuru was anxious and frightened. He was eager to know who the other person was. He didn't want to get out of the wolf's den and fall into the tiger's den again.
"Does it matter who I am?" The voice was filled with endless desolation and depth, as if it came from the boundless universe.
"The important thing is that you are saved." Rimuru felt a little comfort in the voice, and his heart gradually calmed down.
"Then why did you save me?" Rimuru asked with gratitude and doubt.
"Because he's so ugly, you know? In my eyes, he's just like you humans look at shit, understand?"
There was a kind of contempt and ridicule in his voice, as if it was a disdain and irony towards the whole world.
"I heard...the high priests are all appointed by the God of Life..."
Although Rimuru didn't say anything explicitly, the voice always made it seem like Rimuru was implying something.
“…You could easily get beaten up if you talk like that.”
"So you mean that you saved me so that I could replace him?" Rimuru's voice trembled slightly, and a feeling of helplessness and uneasiness surged in his heart.
"You don't look stupid." There was a hint of approval and satisfaction in his voice, as if praising his wit and reaction ability.
"But... they won't listen to me." Rimuru's voice was filled with helplessness and worry. On the planet Shandala, he knew that the person the Shandala people trusted most was the high priest.
But now the high priest died because of him, and I don’t know what the Shandala Temple will do to him after they find out.
"It's okay, these guys are easy to obey..." There was a hint of ease and confidence in his voice.
“Why do you say that?” Rimuru asked in confusion.
"I just praised you for being smart, but you're still just as dumb. Don't you know who I am?"
The voice sounded a little frantic. Human cubs and the like were really difficult to deal with.
"I have a guess, but I'm not sure..."
"Then what do you want me to do?"
In order to survive, Rimuru decided to obey the arrangements of this "God of Life"!
"It's simple. Just become the high priest."
