"The god of chaos? Jeez, your friend must be quite the power house."
"HUH, I WISH I KNEW. IN FACT, HE IS ALSO THE MAIN REASON THAT I WANTED TO MEET YOU."
" I thought that it's because you're all alone and you're so desperate for attention." The slime teased Veldora.
"HAHA, TOUCHE BUT NO. YOU SEE, PNEUMA COULD HAVE EASILY BROKEN ME OUT OF THIS BUT INSTEAD HE DELIVERED A PROPHECY TO ME."
"A prophecy?" The slime came out with a liquid question mark.
"YES, HE TOLD ME THAT ONE DAY, I WOULD MAKE FRIENDS AND BE SAVED BY AN INTELLIGENT SLIME THAT WOULD BRING SALVATION TO THE WORLD… AND THE NAME OF THIS SLIME IS SATORU MIKAMI."
the slime flinched and it's liquid body shook at the mention of that name, "That's… my original name."
" SO IT IS?" Unexpectedly, the true dragon began crying at the confirmation. Decades of waiting for a promise to be fulfilled.
Veldora had lost trust in the false hope that Pneuma has implanted into him. Now, he had finally gotten confirmation that none of it was false whatsoever.
" WELL THEN, UT SEEMS THAT THE PROPHECY IS TRUE IN THE END. SLIME, CAN I ASK THAT WE BE FRIENDS?" Veldora recooperated fast and went straight for the immediate question.
" Friends? I thought we already were friends? But how do we get you out of there?"
The declaration warmed Veldora's heart, " PNEUMA INFORMED ME THAT YOUR UNIQUE SKILL GREAT SAGE WOULD HAVE A SOLUTION."
'Jeez, this Pneuma even knows about Great sage, what the hell!' despite the defiance towards the God of chaos, he convened with great sage anyway.
"Ok, I think I have the solution and that is too eat you."
"HUH!"
Veldora's exclamation of confusion and audacity made it so that the slime has to explain to the true dragon. The process works by devouring the barrier whole with the true dragon inside.
Great sage would analyse from the outside and Veldora would break it down from inside.
"WHAT A WONDERFUL PLAN, BUT FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO BESTOW ONTO YOU A NAME."
" A name?"
"YES, CURRENTLY AS A MONSTER, YOU ARE NAMELESS. WHAT I WANT TO DO IS YOU GIVE YOU A FAMILY NAME TO DISTINGUISH US AS EQUALS. I WOULD LIKE YOU TO CREATE A FAMILY NAME WHILE I GIVE YOU A FIRST NAME."
"Ok then." The slime began thinking of a name to distinguish them as family, thinking of a name that correlates to storm, "Oh, how about Tempest?"
"TEMPEST, THAT'S THE NAME YOU CHOOSE FOR ME?!" Veldora sounded out raged.
So outraged that the slime tried to shrink to hide its presence, "You don't like it?"
"I LOVE IT, FROM NOW ON, I WILL BE KNOWN AS VELDORA TEMPEST AND YOUR NAME WILL BE RIMURU, RIMURU TEMPEST."
Rimuru suddenly felt an engraving in his soul, a name that etched itself into existence.
————————————————
" OH, YES I ALMOST FORGOT SOMETHING." Veldora took out of his stacks of books, a octogonal prism and then pressed the top of it in, " THIS IS A BEACON, THAT WHEN PRESSED DOWN, WILL TELL PNEUMA THAT YOU HAVE OFFICIALLY ARRIVED AND THAT I'M ABOUT TO BE DEVOURED."
" Ok then, well here goes." Rimuru's body suddenly burst forward and enveloped the prison. In seconds the prison began shrinking and the slime returned to its original form.
'Veldora. I hope that when you are finally released, I will have a lot of stories to tell you.'
With that, the slime went on its journey to become the world's strongest.
————————————————
The slime had been adventuring across the cave for a while in an attempt to find the exit. In his travels he had come across multiple monsters that he had defeated and devoured to add to his power.
The slime was going on his Mary way until he felt his magic sense… shut down.
It seemed as if he couldn't sense the world around him, all he could see as far as the eye could see…
…Was fog.
"I think you should turned around."
Rimuru hearing the echoing voice flinched violently, he turned around and saw a shadowy silhouette sitting in a throne.
The size of the shadow seeped in the fog made Veldora's massive size look like an insect.
"Um… uh. Hi." Rimuru timidly greeted the collosal figure that now quite literally held him in the palm of his hands.
The figure chuckled at Rimuru's dismay, "No need to worry little one. If you want you can consider me as your equal."
'Equal, EQUAL! You're like thousands of times my size! Great sage, you got anything on him?'
{Analysis fail… error. Continuation of analysis will result in the unique Great sage to be seized by the unknown individual Infront of you}
'What!'
"Apologies, but you can't analyse me. Not unless I say so, that is."
The casual, friendly demeanor made Rimuru drop his guard slightly, "…You're Pneuma, aren't you?"
"Oh, and here I thought that Veldora would hate me too much to evens mention me." Pneuma's voice made the atmosphere lighter but his voice was slightly downcast.
" Is there something you wanted from me anyway?" Rimuru moved the conversation along. He knew that he probably won't get any information out of me anytime soon.
"Not really, I simply wanted to introduce myself to the one I prophecized awhile ago."
"Why? I'm just an insignificant slime."
" Yes for now but I know you will be the one to change the world. Just know that no matter what path you take, you have the endorsement of Pneuma. Bye."
The fog receeded and the slime was left stunned back in the cave.
In just less than a month, he had been adopted by the true storm dragon and endorsed by the God of chaos. This isekai story has struck him with extreme fortune.

I shut down the spacetime projection and returned my consciousness back to the sight of Luminous sleeping in my lap.
As Luminous's chest went up and down, I began weaving my fingers through her silky hair, " Is there something wrong?" Luminous opened her eyes and noticed the sudden change in my behaviour.
" No, it's just that something big just happened."
Luminous sensed the purposely ominous tone in my voice and immediately sat up straight, "How big?"
"A storms coming that's gonna sweep throughout the entire world and change it supremely."
"Change it how?"
I paused to let Luminous stew for alittle. A action that made her give me a very dirty look, "Well for staters, I'm probably gonna visit a lot less."
"WHAT!!!!!!!"
