The 10,000 soldiers of the Holy Empire charged the goblin village with holy magic blazing, war horns echoing through the forest.
Atria moved forward, glowing with divine and demonic light mixed together.
He spoke only one word:
"Fall."
And the world obeyed.
The Massacre Begins
Worldbreaker Aura exploded outward.
The ground tore apart.
The sky cracked with black lightning.
A shockwave of annihilation roared across the battlefield.
B O O O M .
Entire squads were erased instantly.
Holy shields shattered.
Priests coughed blood.
Knights collapsed under pressure so heavy their bones broke.
Arrows turned to dust mid air.
Magic spells unraveled.
Swords melted.
Atria unleashed Celestial Burst a beam of pure destruction.
A pillar of white and black fire shot into the sky.
When it came down
Half the army vanished.
The remaining soldiers trembled.
But Atria wasn't done.
His body glowed with new runes.
His voice cracked reality again:
"Absolute Authority."
Every soldier froze.
Then
SPLASH
Atria's slime body multiplied into dozens of tendrils, each moving faster than sound.
They pierced armor.
Crushed skulls.
Devoured bodies instantly.
In less than a minute
10,000 soldiers lay dead.
The forest became silent.
Only Atria's glowing form remained.
Killing so many lives at once triggered something inside Atria.
WARNING: Excessive soul absorption detected
His core burned.
His vision blurred.
The world twisted.
Evolution Overload
New Path Unlocked: Abyssal Demon Lord
His entire slime body expanded, darkened, and ignited with black flame.
Goblins stared in shock.
"A Atria-sama.
"What's happening to him.
"He's changing!"
Atria tried to move
but the evolution hit too fast.
He collapsed.
And fell into a deep sleep.
In the Darkness The Demon Summoning
Inside Atria's evolving core, a voice echoed:
You have absorbed enough souls to summon the Lords of the Abyss.
Summon.
Atria, half conscious, whispered:
"Yes
And space shattered.
Three shadows stepped out.
1. Zarathrok, The Hell Reaper Demon
The demon who once killed thousands of demons escaping Hell.
A massive, burning figure holding a scythe dripping green fire.
2. Veyna, The Silent Executioner
A pale demoness floating silently, her shadow stretching like a living creature.
3. Kurgon, The Crimson Devourer
A horned beast with red armor and a voice like thunder.
All three knelt before the sleeping slime.
"We obey our master the one who summoned us."
Even though 10,000 people were dead, small groups of knights and priests still tried to regroup and fight.
They rushed toward the village screaming:
"Kill the slime.
"Save the Empire.
"For humanity.
Zarathrok stepped forward.
"You should have run.
One swing of his hell scythe.
FWOOM.
A burning arc sliced through dozens.
Veyna moved silently behind priests
and snapped their necks before they even turned.
Kurgon smashed whole squads with one punch.
Within minutes, the last survivors of the Empire's force were nothing but ashes.
The goblins watched in terror and awe.
"Those demons… they protect Atria sama."
"He summoned them
"Is he becoming something greater.
Silva curled around Atria's sleeping form, growling protectively.
Atria Awakens The Demon Lord Rises
Hours later, his body glowed again.
A new message appeared in his mind.
Evolution Complete
You are now: ABYSSAL DEMON LORD ATRIA
His eyes opened.
Black flame.
Silver aura.
Golden runes pulsing across his slime body.
He had awakened stronger than anything the Empire expected.
New abilities burned into his mind:
Demon Lord Skill: Soul Dominion
Control, absorb, or command souls.
Demon Lord Skill: Abyssal Creation
Create monsters, weapons, or structures from void energy.
Demon Lord Skill: Hell Gate
Summon demons from the abyss.
Apex Slime Skill: Divine Demonic Hybrid Body
Immune to holy and demonic damage.
The demons knelt before him.
"Master… your transformation is complete."
Atria rose slowly, casting a massive shadow over the land.
He was no longer simply a slime.
No longer a monster.
No longer a guardian.
He was
The new Demon Lord.
And the Empire had just earned his eternal wrath.
