"I have decided." Golden light flowed through Slime#47's eyes as he declared, "I'll create a safe place for my people… and for myself."

He'd had enough. 'If this world has no place for kindness, I'll build one myself. And one day… I'll kick Time God's butt.'

"By the way… how did my past life family appear in my mind, and who spoke to me?" he muttered, as he finally opened his eyes to the nothingness.

Crack!

He tore free from the mental world with nothing but sheer Will.

[ Ding! Casting Holy Light of Purification! ]

A golden beam of light descended and fell on his body, smoothing out all his emotions. His tired soul became energetic.

Something deep within him was reforged.

----

A little moment earlier…

'I wanted to reach *that* timeline… where he becomes…' Time God sighed as things went differently from what he'd wanted.

"It's time to leave," the lady said, glancing at the slime who had just decided his goal, with a trace of apology—because of them, he had suffered so much.

Time God, and the woman turned into condensed glowing orbs and disappeared.

----

[ Ding! Your Will is re-established! ]

"Dreams are important because they can strengthen Will… and they can become the last thread which holds everything together, when all hope, and Will are lost," Vael muttered, knowing exactly why Time God kept asking the slime about his dream.

"There's no one…" Slime#47 muttered, finding himself alone in the black space. He glanced around, expecting to find someone, but saw only the familiar pitch‑black void.

"I did hear someone speak in my mind…" he said doubtfully, wobbling his body. "Hello… hello… anyone present?" he called out.

Silence!

Young Slime's eyes narrowed. He whispered, "Looks like they don't want to speak to me."

[ Ding! Saint King Haruka's power has dissipated! ]

Slime#47 felt utterly weak, 'Damn it… I wasted that power because of a stupid mistake,' he thought, annoyed. He'd wanted to save it for big.

[ Ding! Residual Pain Tolerance {Common} Lv.Max has evolved into Supreme Pain Tolerance {Mythic} Lv.Max! ]

[ —Skills—

—Supreme Pain Tolerance {Mythic} Lv.Max—

—Ability to withstand pain increased by 80%

—Does not require energy ]

"Of course… after suffering that much agony, pain tolerance would level up," he muttered, eye twitching as he looked at the panel.

[ Ding! Your Will has risen to E! ]

[ Status

…

Will: E

… ]

[ Ding! You have acquired the trait Indomitable Soul {Legendary}! ]

[ —Traits—

—Indomitable Soul {Legendary}—

—Your soul has withstood unimaginable pain and grown stronger through it.

—Can withstand more soul pain and physical pain.

—It's tough to break you. {Caution: can still be broken if enough effort is applied.}

—Requires more effort to destroy your soul.

—Does not require energy to function. ]

'Good…' He felt satisfied—yet remembering the pain, he could only smile bitterly.

"Hmm… you haven't won yet," Vael whispered, feeling the strong resistance from Slime#47's soul—the half he had absorbed—whenever he tried to digest it.

He stopped trying to digest and narrowed his eyes cunningly. "Looks like he gained some soul‑related trait… but can he withstand my Edict of Tomorrow?"

He wanted to use it again and break Slime#47 one more time. He manifested in front of Young Slime's furious eyes and cast:

"Edict of Tomorrow."

Young Slime was dragged into the mental world again—but,

"Vael… this is useless on me!" Slime#47 roared.

Crack!

He shattered the mental world with Will alone.

'Tch… I can't unleash the full power of my skill… I'll let him *feel* relieved that he overcame it.' The small humanoid grinned. 'I'll take your entire soul someday…' he planned, then disappeared back into the cloak.

Slime#47 glanced at the cloak on his body and hissed, "One day I'll kill you."

'I need to save my soul first,' he thought, trying to force Vael's soul out—but failed.

He pushed with all his Soul strength and Will, pouring even aura, mana.

After a few minutes of effort—

"Hhh… It's still fused," he muttered with a scowl, as Vael manifested in front of him with a grin.

"Our souls are fused," the small creature said calmly. "We can't be separated."

"You—Aura Fist!" Slime#47 used his skill and slammed his fist toward the small creature.

Whoosh!

Vael dodged the punch at high speed.

"Aura Fist! Evade! Iron Body! Haste!" Young Slime poured out his skills and flashed in front of the small guy, launching his fist at him again.

Whoosh!

Vael dodged again, floating higher.

"Come down here!" Slime#47 yelled as the small humanoid flew out of his reach.

Ding!

A notification stopped his rage.

[ Ding! You cannot be separated from sealed artifact Vael! ]

"Even you can't separate us?" he roared at the panel, still hoping.

'Didn't Time God prepare for everything?' he thought, not knowing that Time God had almost abandoned him.

He had only heard a voice, that was all. He didn't know if it was male or female—much less who it belonged to.

[ Ding! No. ]

[ Warning: Your soul is weak! ]

[ The available methods can cause unimaginable damage to the soul and could even cause true death without any hope of reincarnation! ]

[ Ding! Requesting Slime#47 to obtain an Immortal Soul or an Authority before trying to separate the sealed artifact's soul! ]

'Damn it all…' he hissed inside, clenching his fists. "I should've spent a thousand, or ten thousand loops killing those three sealed artifacts instead of using… this creepy cloak," he whispered, trying to tear the cloak to pieces.

But the blue cloak shone with black energy, making his efforts useless.

He took deep breaths to calm down while Vael watched with a grin from high in the air.

[ Ding! Start timeline 78521452224.176? ]

"That's it?" he barked. "That's everything I get for all this suffering?" He'd thought he would be rewarded more.

'I still have to drag that creature with me… through everything,' he fumed, knowing that they were now bound for a long time.

"So, I'll train and kill those three sealed artifacts… the simple way," he muttered, and started the new timeline.

[ Ding! Starting Timeline 78521452224.176! ]

[ Ding! Reincarnating Slime#47! ]

----

He opened his eyes in Mama Slime's warm hug.

"Child, I'm your mama," Mama Slime said cheerfully, rubbing her body on him affectionately.

'Finally… I'm back,' he thought. He could finally control his body as he wished.

----

Ruins City Lunxia…

Crack!

The barrier holding the sealed room broke as the three creatures stepped out.

"Here I come," he grinned as he opened his mastery status panel.

[ —Masteries—

—Fist Mastery {Tier 2}

—Fire Magic Rune Mastery {Tier 2}

—Aura Mastery {Tier 2}

—Mana Mastery {Tier 2}

—Demonic Magic Mastery {Tier 1} ]

"That mental world torture helped me a lot,....and masteries grew stronger quickly due to it," he grinned, demonic force rising around him. "Demonic Surge."

"Roar."
