It was only when he saw Rimuru, completely sealed by Adamantite and its restraints, that Dormammu finally let out a long sigh of relief.
It had been many years, and this was the first time he had suffered such a great loss.
This was in the Dark Dimension, and he had actually encountered a life-threatening situation.
Even the spatial energy was swallowed like a whale drinking from the sea, an immeasurable amount consumed.
This was simply unimaginable before.
The daughter of Planet Eater was excusable, as she had inherited part of the Planet Eater's laws and possessed a cosmic consciousness, allowing her soul to remain unpolluted.
But what about Rimuru?
What virtue or ability did she possess?
Looking at his severed arm, Dormammu's eyes flickered with apprehension and a grim expression.
That sword strike from Rimuru had directly severed one of his arms at the fundamental rule level, and even now, it hadn't fully recovered.
Could Rimuru be an envoy of the Death Goddess?
Yes, only in that way could Rimuru control a part of the Death Goddess's laws.
Offending one Planet Eater was already troublesome enough; offending another Death Goddess would be terrible!
Never mind!
As long as this menace was sealed to her Death, he would gain the strongest leader of the Mindless Ones in history.
At that time, his conquest of the Multiverse would be unstoppable.
Thinking of this, Dormammu's eyes revealed boundless madness.
What Dormammu didn't know was that just as he thought he had successfully sealed her.
In Rimuru's mind, a series of words from the World also echoed.
And it was these constantly echoing words from the World that made Rimuru choose not to break free immediately.
"Dormammu's Predation successful, obtaining the ability to mimic Dormammu."
"Dormammu mimicry successful, obtaining 1% control over the Dark Dimension."
"Construction method acquired successfully, Stomach acquisition evolved."
Rimuru's true form was a Slime, and her Stomach was granted by a skill.
Strictly speaking, her Stomach existed between the illusory and the real, also a type of sub-dimensional space.
And in the Marvel Universe, what sub-dimensional space could compare to a Dimensional Demon God's dimensional space?!
The Dark Space was even more outstanding among them, its construction method was simply perfect.
Most importantly, the Dark Space could perfectly achieve matter-energy conversion.
Rimuru's Stomach could also store preyed-upon objects, preserve the matter generated after analysis, perfectly integrating matter and energy.
The two were simply too compatible!
The moment the construction method was successfully acquired, Rimuru's Stomach began to undergo earth-shattering changes.
Rimuru's Stomach, which she could originally only utilize but never truly perceive its appearance, began to become clear in her consciousness.
It was like a "singularity" that had gathered all matter and energy, and then underwent a great explosion, like the creation of the heavens and earth.
The great explosion caused Rimuru's Stomach space to continuously expand and swell, beginning to form a large number of galaxies, stars, and planets.
Perceiving the change in her Stomach, Rimuru was startled.
How did her Stomach look more and more like a nascent Universe?
Was this a pocket Universe?!
What a great fortune, what a great fortune!
What kind of changes would her Stomach bring her after evolving into a pocket Universe?
Rimuru grew more and more expectant.
The derivation and expansion of a Universe required enormous energy.
The explosion of that singularity within her body just now instantly caused a large-scale collapse of the space around Rimuru.
In just an instant, an absolute void formed around Rimuru.
Because she had gained control over a portion of the Dark Space's authority, the various seals set by Dormammu were completely ineffective against Rimuru.
A large amount of energy was entirely swallowed by her, constantly filling her pocket Universe.
And because of the Dark Dimension's authority, this part of the energy transferred to Rimuru's pocket Universe was like moving something from the left hand to the right.
At least in the cosmic consciousness of the Dark Space, the difference was not significant.
Therefore, this large-scale energy loss did not attract Dormammu's attention in a short period.
The current Rimuru was like a cosmic tapeworm parasitizing the Dark Space, every minute and every second enriching herself at the expense of others.
How much energy did the Dark Space possess?
It was hard to estimate!
One must know that even Dormammu only became the new Dark Lord after driving away the Old King of the Dark Space.
That is to say, the Dark Dimension had existed for countless billions of years.
Its accumulated depth was unimaginable.
Just like the vast and boundless Dongting Lake, which might seem immense in the eyes of humans.
But if compared to the vast ocean, it was just a small bathtub.
And now, under the continuous filling of the Dark Dimension's energy, Rimuru's pocket Universe slowly transformed from "a drop in the ocean" to "a clam in the ocean," "a fish in the ocean," "a basin in the ocean," "a bathtub in the ocean."
The quantitative change finally led to a qualitative change; when the pocket Universe within Rimuru's body evolved to a certain extent, Rimuru finally truly felt the difference.
Her consciousness completely merged into this pocket Universe!
In this miniature Universe, almost every inch of space bore her imprint.
Here, it seemed she was the Universe, and the Universe was her.
Her heart was the cosmic heart!
What made Rimuru feel even more incredible was that the law of Death formed after she devoured the Death Goddess automatically integrated into this pocket Universe.
Allowing this Universe to possess the concept of Death!
When this Universe gained the concept of "Death," Rimuru immediately felt her soul lighten, as if freed from heavy shackles.
Was this the meaning of Death?
In just an instant, Rimuru's understanding of Death became incredibly profound.
And with the successful integration of the law of Death, the Mind Stone she had devoured also successfully integrated into her pocket Universe.
In an instant.
A new concept, higher than matter, and beyond form, successfully emerged.
Rimuru's heart immediately gave rise to various profound and mystical feelings.
At this moment, Rimuru seemed to hear endless hymns, chants, sacrifices, prayers, grievances, curses...
This was a power completely different from matter, an extremely idealistic power; it was unseen and untouchable, yet it existed.
With the integration of the Mind Stone, Rimuru immediately felt that the laws of her pocket Universe had been greatly perfected.
But along with this perfection, Rimuru also increasingly felt the deficiencies within it.
At this moment, Rimuru understood many things.
After the Big Bang, six Infinity Stones were produced: Space, Mind, Power, Reality, Time, and Soul.
Each Infinity Stone controlled a specific attribute.
Their existence was equivalent to the six major hubs supporting the operation of the Universe.
Each hub constituted a crucial part of the Universe's grand cycle.
If all six hubs were gathered, this Universe would possess infinite possibilities!
If she integrated all six Infinity Stones into this pocket Universe, would this pocket Universe give rise to life?
In an instant, Rimuru's heart was filled with boundless fantasies.
