Before we start this let me make it clear that the magicules they absorbed from the air inside the dimensions was bits of Akihito's magicules. They nowhere near as strong as him, but they got stupid strong since the quality of the magicules is better than normal magicules.
Akihito's is mixed with solar radiation, mana, and some energy from the universe along with this worlds magic. They got like stronger stronger.

(Akihito POV)
Coming out of the pure dimension, me and Mia sighed. It's been a while since I've done some good training like that. I replaced my weights with heavier ones. In total I'm walking around with 50 million tons on me.
"You can go to sleep if you want, I'm going to go check on Milim." I said to Mia who nodded and walked out of the basement.
"I feel like I forgot something." I mumbled. It was right on the tip of my brain but I just can't remember it clearly.
Meh, it is what it is.
I opened the door to the eight rings of hell and I could already feel how much this place has grown in magicules. There are whole ass clouds that look like glitter.
Walking further in I sighed.
"Milim!!" I called out using super voice. Within seconds four catastrophe level energy signals shot in my direction. Actually they were way beyond catastrophe level.
"Ain't no fucking way she actually sat here and trained." I mumbled. I felt the ground shaking and huge birds were coming up from toppled trees. In the sky I could hear something slicing wind.
"Damn they grew." I said as I looked at a 40ft tall…wait a minute that ain't them.
There was a 50 foot tall cat like beast, but it looked like shadows and clouds.

Looking in the sky I saw a 70 foot tall violet dragon flying towards me like some missal.

I couldn't see what was going on with the trees, so I floated up and and saw a 80 foot long purple snake with gold eye rushing over here with its tongue out like it was going to eat me.

"A dragon, a snake, and some breed of feline that don't make sense. I guess that's them." I said.
Then there was Milim. While you normally wouldn't notice her, it's hard not to when she's basically releasing all that magical energy. She's out of catastrophe rank, but not a god yet.
I wonder if she learned some new abilities. Would be a shame if she didn't, but then again this Milim. 20,000+ year old child.
She was just a bit ahead of Kayda and was getting really close without slowing down. In mere seconds she arrived in front of me and stopped directly a few inches from my face.
"I WIN!!" She said pointing to herself with pride.
Kayda, Severus, and Mufasu slowed down a lot and turned into really small versions of themselves and smashed right into my chest.
They made cute noises as they all ran around my body, rubbing there head on me, and licking my face. Would've been perfect, but they breath stunk.
"What did y'all do in here?" I said as they calmed down.
"We beat up a lot of monster, went hunting, and played games…" Milim happily went on and on about her time here, I just nodded with a little smile.
"When we leave you guys need to lower your magical output." I said.
"Hmm, why?" Milim asked.
"Well I don't want my house to be filled with clouds. Didn't you notice how stuffy it is. That's from the magicules in the air. They're starting to take shape and form and sooner or later I might have some magicule stones in my house." I joked.
"What are those?"
"I don't know. I just think they'll be stones made of compact magicules, but it doesn't change the fact you need to lower your magicules. You see how mine isn't escaping from around my body while yours is going everywhere. You gotta control it. Like a bubble." I explained.
"Ohhhhhh." She started focusing and within a moment her aura was around her like a small bubble.
"Good." I said as we walked out of the door. We exited the basement. We walked through a hall on the left and made a right turn into the living room where everyone seemed to be waiting on the couch. Even Mia was talking with them.
"I'm honestly surprised he has friends. It's still a shocker." She said laughing.
"I'm surprised you're not eating something for once." I said turning the corner. Milim giggled and Rimuru smiled as he got up and bowed along with everyone else.
"Thank you for training us, although I was a little mad when I found out we'd been in there for like 500 something years I'm grateful." He said as they nodded.
"It's cool, for some reason I don't not want to teach you like I do most people." I said looking over to Mia. It was a joke and she rolled her eyes.
"But I will say this. You guys are extraordinarily powerful to not be demon lords. From a look I can see that you're higher than demon seeds, but need to evolve." I said.
"Coming from the guy that doesn't want to evolve either." Rimuru said blankly.
"Hmmm, I will if you will." I said. I had a theory. When I evolved it said it was starting an alternate procedure, so that means it went off of the normal course and skipped right to Supreme Being. What if now that my race has been known I can take the proper route? It was just a theory though.
"I'll think about it." He said with a laugh. I nodded.
"To leave you just have to step on the mat over there." I said pointing towards a door. Me and Rimuru shook hands and they left.
"I can come back to play right?" Milim asked
"Of course, they'll be out more anyway." I said patting her head. She jumped up happily and left after waving goodbye to Mia.
"Are those your pets?" She said pointing to them as they crawled and slithered into my lap.
"Yup. This is Kayda, Mufasu and Severus." I said introducing them.
"You can pet em."
She put her hand out and they moved over smelling and licking it. Then she started rubbing them as they rushed her.
"I feel like I gotta do something about how stuffy this place is getting." I mumbled. I looked over to Mia who was laughing as she slid down the couch.
Getting up I went to my room and got a lot of magic runes. I was going to make it so that the runes absorbed the magicules in the air and transferred it down a system into these pods so that over time the magicules could go over the process of decomposition. Basically going from a gas straight to a solid. I also sped up the time inside those pods to see if I could actually produce magicule stones. This would be completely different from magisteel or Magic Ore because accentually this is nothing but pure hardened magicules while magisteel is just normal ore that was exposed to a concentration of magicules and absorbed it.
It didn't take me long to make that system since I had perfect understanding of how I was going to do it and how to set it up. Then I just ran around the house putting them into the walls.
The pods were in a open room that wasn't being used. With that I went back to the living room to see the pets sleeping on the couch.
"They need a bath." I whispered to Mia.
"I know, but they just fell asleep." She replied.
"I'll give them one in the morning, but we need to talk." I whispered back.
I levitated them three off the couch and made them one big round bed with pillows around it. They seem to like sleeping all cuddled up. I put them in my room in a corner and went back to the living and sat on the couch.
"What is it?" She asked as she pulled her legs up onto the couch.
"It's about the dark dimension. Do you think you're ready?" I asked.
"Yeah, I think I'm more than ready honestly." She said pridefully.
"Are you sure? Because Dormammu has killed gods before easily. Plus you're going to be in his domain so he has control over everything in there." I said seriously. She needed to understand the danger of who she wanted to take from without my help.
"Akihito, listen, I know that I'm not as strong as you are, but I can damn well handle myself. Plus if anything goes wrong I can use my trump card and if that doesn't work we can retreat and go in another day, but even if we are partners I'm not going to run to you for every problem I have." She said m. Her tone was a mix of anger, disbelief, and pride.
"…I know, but as long as you come out fine, it's straight. Besides worrying ain't gonna get us nowhere will it? Are you going tomorrow?" I asked.
"Yeah, I would like to get this over with." She said as she sighed.
"Alright. Well head to bed. Even as a god waking up feels like you have more energy and you're more open minded." I said.
She got up and stretched before walking off and around a corner. She then peaked her head back out.
"What will you do?" She asked.
"I'll be doing some preparation for the future. It feels like someone in particular has been watching us." I said.
"From inside the house?" She asked.
"Nah, they can't see this far. I just mean in general." I reassured her.
"Oh, well goodnight." She said. I nodded as she left around the corner.
"Well then I guess I need to start my own training again." I mumbled.
After all, I could feel it. Something big was going to happen either to me directly or the ones around me and I didn't mean from this world. Those gods plotting something.
