Information

After a while Rimuru went to talk to the trio adventurers,he sat down with the trio of adventurers,He needed to know about the world outside his village, especially the power structures and what challenges he might face in the future. The adventurers were more than willing to share what they knew, having experienced much during their travels.

"Before you leave," Rimuru began, his voice casual, but with a serious undertone, "tell me about the kingdoms in this world. I need to know more about the political landscape around here."

The adventurers exchanged glances before Gavel, the more talkative of the three, leaned forward and began speaking.

Gavel then said " the first, the strongest and most important one is Celesterra.

Rimuru then asked:

"So, tell me more about Celesterra," Rimuru asked, leaning forward slightly. "It sounds like a powerful kingdom. Who rules it?"

Gavel nodded, his voice lowering a little in reverence. "Celesterra is ruled by none other than Beerus, the God of Destruction. He's the most powerful being in this world, without question. They say he's the one who maintains balance in the universe itself. His power is immense—so immense that no one dares challenge him, not even the strongest of the Demon Lords. He's the one who organizes many of the major tournaments between the nations, including the annual event where every country presents their top ten fighters."

Rimuru's eyes narrowed slightly. "A God of Destruction, huh? What makes him so powerful?"

Gavel exchanged a glance with his companions, and Gido continued the explanation. "Beerus is said to possess godly power that transcends the laws of nature. Not only is he physically stronger than anyone, but he has the ability to destroy anything with a mere thought. His power is feared across the continent, and his word is absolute. He governs Celesterra with absolute control, and even the Demon Lords must tread carefully around him."

Rimuru processed the information, realizing the implications. "So he's the one behind the major tournaments?"

"Exactly," Gavel confirmed. "Beerus organizes the tournament between the countries every few years. Each kingdom sends its top ten fighters, and they compete in a massive battle royale. The victor earns a wish for their country. It's a spectacle like no other, and it's something that every kingdom has to prepare for."

Ellen chimed in. "And Beerus also oversees the Demon Lords' Tournament. It's not just a battle for power—it's a battle to the death. The strongest beings in the world fight each other for dominance. While it's brutal, Beerus revives them afterward, so it's more of a test of survival and strength. No one can match his control over life and death. Some say that he enjoys seeing how far the Demon Lords will go in their hunger for power."

Rimuru raised an eyebrow, intrigued by the information. "So, Beerus oversees everything, including the tournaments? Even the Demon Lords' battles?"

"Yes, and he does it all with a calm demeanor," Gavel added. "But make no mistake—he is not to be underestimated. His power is unmatched, and his ability to control destruction is beyond anything anyone can comprehend. He has no official heir, though there is someone by his side who might be considered his counterpart—Velzar, the Frost Dragon. She's a true dragon, an ancient being of immense power. She's his official wife and one of the few beings in the world who can stand alongside him. Even though he has multiples wives but she is the official one.

"Velzar, huh?" Rimuru murmured thoughtfully. "So, she's a True Dragon, and Beerus is her partner in rule. Wait a minute she must be Veldora sister because he is a True Dragon too" Rimuru kept that taught to himself.

"Exactly," Gido said. "Beerus and Velzar rule Celesterra as a powerful pair. They've shaped the kingdom into something formidable, and their influence spreads far beyond their borders."

Rimuru absorbed the information, knowing that this was a kingdom that would be difficult to deal with, should he ever clash with them. Beerus and Velzar were titans in their own right, and Rimuru's current power would need to grow exponentially to stand a chance against them. (Little did Rimuru know that information is only partially correct).

"Now, about the tournaments," Rimuru said, trying to focus on the immediate future. "These competitions sound like they could be crucial for any kingdom that wants to maintain its position. I need to prepare my forces to compete, don't I?"

"Absolutely," Gavel said with a grin. "You're a smart one. The tournament is a chance for kingdoms to prove their strength and gain favor with Beerus.

Blumund won the last tournament, and it gave them a lot of advantages in the political landscape. But the Demon Lords' Tournament... that's a whole other level. It's more about personal power than national pride."

Rimuru nodded, already thinking of ways to strengthen his army. His monsters were powerful, but he knew they needed more training, more refinement. And, perhaps, he needed more information about these tournaments if he ever wanted to compete at the highest level.

After a few moments of contemplation, Rimuru turned to the trio of adventurers. "Thank you for all this information. I'll be sure to keep it in mind as I move forward."

They nodded in acknowledgment, and Rimuru gestured toward Kaijin's workshop. "I've arranged for some new armor for you," he said with a smile. "It should help you out on your journeys."

The adventurers exchanged surprised looks. "You've really done a lot for us," Gavel said, bowing slightly. "Thank you, Rimuru. We won't forget this."

Rimuru smiled back. "It's the least I can do. And one more thing... I need you to spread the word about Shizu's passing. They were surprised, but Rimuru told them it is better that way because he does not know when he will complete the process.

They nodded solemnly, understanding the gravity of the request. "We'll make sure her name isn't forgotten," Gido said, his voice full of respect.

The adventurers prepared to leave, their new armor gleaming in the sunlight. Rimuru watched them go, his mind still turning over the new information. Beerus and Velzar. Celesterra. The tournaments. This world was far more complicated than he had initially realized, but he was determined to navigate it with his growing power.

As the trio disappeared over the horizon, Rimuru turned back toward the village. "I have much to do," he muttered to himself. "But first, I need to make sure my army is ready. And I can't afford to waste any time."

He felt the weight of the world on his shoulders, but with his new skill "Limitless Evolution" and the potential alliances he could form, Rimuru was more determined than ever to succeed. The challenges ahead were daunting, but they would only push him to grow stronger. And in this world, strength was everything.
