Rimuru's Ascendance: Conquest in Ragnarok

Chapter 14: Divine Sacrifice

The arena's atmosphere was charged with tension and anticipation as Rimuru Tempest prepared to face Thor, the God of Thunder, in a rematch that had been eagerly awaited by the audience. Rimuru, in his azure slime form, stood at the center of the arena, his presence a symbol of unity and strength.

The humans in the alliance erupted into cheers, their voices filled with admiration and hope. Rimuru had become a living embodiment of their ideals—friendship, respect, and understanding. The divine beings, too, watched with keen interest, curious to see how this rematch would unfold.

As the echoes of applause gradually subsided, Rimuru addressed the crowd with a voice that carried the weight of his experiences. "Our battles are not just tests of strength but reflections of the values we hold dear—friendship, respect, and understanding. It is through these values that we find the strength to overcome any challenge."

His words resonated deeply with those present, and the alliance between humans and divine beings had never felt stronger. It was a testament to the power of unity in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.

Thor, with a thunderous aura surrounding him, regarded Rimuru with a nod of respect. He had faced Rimuru once before and had been redeemed by the slime's compassion. Now, he stood as a formidable opponent, ready to test Rimuru's strength.

The battle began, and Thor wasted no time in summoning his divine powers. Bolts of lightning crackled around him, creating a dazzling display of elemental energy. Rimuru, in his evolved form, summoned barriers of water and wind to deflect the lightning strikes, each clash resonating with the thunderous force of Thor's attacks.

The arena became a battleground of elemental forces, with Thor's lightning and Rimuru's water and wind colliding in a spectacular display of power and strategy. Rimuru, ever adaptable, utilized his transformations to evade and counter Thor's attacks.

As the battle progressed, Thor unleashed his ultimate technique—a cataclysmic storm of thunder and lightning that filled the arena with deafening roars and blinding flashes. The very earth trembled under the weight of Thor's power.

Rimuru, undeterred, tapped into the depths of his abilities. He summoned the elemental spirits of wind, fire, and water, their combined forces creating a protective dome that shielded him from the thunderous storm. The audience watched in awe as Rimuru's elemental prowess countered Thor's divine might.

Thor, recognizing the unfolding defeat, ceased the thunderstorm and descended to the arena floor, his gaze meeting Rimuru's with a sense of admiration and respect.

"I yield," Thor declared, his voice carrying the weight of his newfound understanding. "Your strength and compassion have proven your worthiness, Rimuru Tempest. I acknowledge your power."

The arena fell into a hushed silence as Rimuru, ever compassionate, approached the God of Thunder. He extended a tendril of his slime form in a gesture of camaraderie, offering his hand to the redeemed deity.

Thor accepted Rimuru's hand with a firm grip, his eyes reflecting a profound sense of respect and admiration. It was a moment that left the arena in stunned silence, as even the Gods and Valkyries witnessed the profound impact of Rimuru's actions.

However, amidst the awe and reverence, the shadows of the divine conspiracy still loomed. The Gods who sought to eliminate Rimuru from the tournament had not abandoned their malevolent plans. Their dark designs were unfolding, threatening to disrupt the delicate balance between humans and divine beings.

As Rimuru's next opponent was revealed, the arena's atmosphere grew even more charged. It was none other than Loki, the Trickster God, who had faced Rimuru earlier in the tournament and had been defeated by the slime's strategic acumen and compassion.

The rematch between Rimuru and Loki promised to be a battle of wits and deception, a duel that would test the boundaries of their cunning and resolve.

As Chapter 14 came to a close, Rimuru's journey in the "Record of Ragnarok" tournament had not only showcased his growing strength but had also raised the stakes. The shadows of a divine conspiracy threatened to disrupt the fragile alliance between humans and divine beings, setting the stage for a battle that would resonate throughout the realms of mortals and Gods.
