Watching Rimuru’s retreating figure, Morax silently stood up and followed.
After all, he didn’t want to miss the famous scene where Rimuru named Ranga.
In the early stages, before Benimaru and the Ogre race appeared, Ranga, as a supporting character, had a lot of screen time.
Moreover, Ranga was the only Ya Wolf who only obeyed Rimuru.
In the later stages, he even became the Star Wolves King, one of the Twelve Guardian Saints, with strength comparable to an Awakened Demon Lord.
Rimuru arrived in front of the Fang Wolf Tribe and was deep in thought, pondering what names to give them, unaware that Morax had quietly appeared behind her.
Morax looked at Rimuru, who was deep in thought, and couldn’t help but feel a little mischievous.
“What names should I give them?”
Rimuru had a headache.
Suddenly, someone from behind hugged her, startling her.
“Who is it?”
Rimuru struggled and questioned.
Morax leaned close to Rimuru and said, “Alright, stop moving, it’s me.”
Hearing that voice, Rimuru finally relaxed.
Then, she remembered something.
“Morax, weren’t you resting?”
Rimuru looked confused.
“Nothing.
I was just a little worried about you, so I came to check.
It’s good to have someone to rely on if anything happens.”
Morax said to Rimuru with concern.
“So, you still haven’t thought of names for them?”
Looking at Rimuru’s pained expression, Morax knew the reason for her headache.
“That’s right, Morax, you help me think too.”
Rimuru pleaded with Morax.
“Alright, but only you can name them.
After all, my amount of magicules isn’t as much as yours.”
Morax said thoughtfully.
“Oh, by the way, Morax, I still have a question?”
At this moment, Rimuru thought of something and said to Morax.
“Oh, what question?”
Morax looked at Rimuru’s puzzled expression and said with interest.
“It’s just, why are our levels similar, yet I’ve named so many monsters without issue, while you can’t after naming just a few dozen?
You swallowed quite a few herbs and Magic Ores in the cave, too?”
Hearing the words “can’t do it,” three black lines immediately appeared on Morax’s forehead.
However, seeing Rimuru’s innocent expression, Morax suppressed the anger in his heart.
After all, who wants others to say they can’t do something?
However, listening to Rimuru’s words, it seemed that Great Sage had indeed not told Rimuru about extracting the magicules from Veldora’s body.
Great Sage probably guessed that if Rimuru knew, she wouldn’t casually name things anymore.
Since that’s the case, I’ll help keep it a secret too.
“I’m not like you.
Aren’t you Gluttony?
You can convert and store what you devour because you have an independent space inside your body for storing items.
I don’t have a stomach or Gluttony.
Everything I eat is converted into my amount of magicules by my special skill, Gamer.
But after a certain level, simply eating isn’t enough.
Didn’t your Great Sage tell you?
How come you don’t know as much as I do?”
Morax explained to Rimuru while asking with some surprise.
Morax was now one step away from becoming a Demon Lord Seed.
Simply devouring Magic Ores and herbs wasn’t enough; he needed a larger energy body as support to advance further.
Moreover, due to his special skill, even if he devoured Magic Ores and herbs, he didn’t absorb as much magicules as Rimuru’s Gluttony.
While Gamer had the functions of devouring and converting, it was ultimately not as good as Rimuru’s Gluttony.
So, if calculated purely by amount of magicules, Morax was indeed inferior to Rimuru, not to mention she now had Storm Dragon as a power bank.
However, this world isn’t judged solely by amount of magicules.
Look at Storm Dragon; even though his amount of magicules was more than his elder sisters, he was still suppressed and beaten by them.
So, even if Morax and Rimuru were to fight now, Morax was fully confident he could win.
Because Morax’s special skills, Martial Refiner and All Weapon Mastery, destined that Rimuru’s current combat experience was weaker than Morax’s.
Even with Great Sage as a super cheat, she couldn’t compare to Morax.
Morax wouldn’t need much effort to defeat Rimuru now.
“Isn’t it because there’s been too much going on lately that I forgot?”
To be honest, even Rimuru didn’t know why, whenever she was in front of Morax, her usually clever brain suddenly became inadequate.
She kept asking silly questions.
She had also asked Great Sage what was happening, but Great Sage told her to figure it out herself, which completely confused her.
Looking at Rimuru’s somewhat dazed expression, Morax found it amusing.
“Alright, stop thinking about other things.
Morax said to Rimuru.
“No, Morax, you said that wrong.”
Rimuru frowned tightly.
Morax was puzzled at this point.
“Said what wrong?”
Rimuru said with a serious expression, “They’re not my subjects, but *our* subjects.”
Hearing Rimuru’s words, Morax was stunned for a moment.
To be honest, ever since Morax came to this world, he had always viewed it from a god’s perspective because he knew all the plotlines and secrets of this world, which gave him a feeling of being above all living beings.
He was like someone observing the human world from above.
But now, facing Rimuru, he had a feeling of descending from the heavens.
Morax then somewhat understood that this world was not illusory but real.
Whether it was Rimuru or this group of Goblins and Ya Wolves, they were all truly existing.
It was also time for him to come down from the heavens and take a good look.
After figuring it out, Morax suddenly had a wonderful feeling, an indescribable and unparalleled sense of clarity in his heart.
Even his strength increased by a few points.
Feeling the changes in his body, Morax knew that his past self was wrong.
“Rimuru, thank you.”
Looking at Rimuru’s face, Morax said seriously.
Rimuru was startled by Morax’s sudden action.
“Morax, what’s wrong?”
Rimuru asked anxiously.
“Nothing.
I just suddenly understood some things.”
Morax said with some emotion.
Rimuru listened, somewhat understanding, yet not fully.
“Alright, let’s not talk anymore.
We should hurry and name our subjects, right?
These are *our* subjects.”
Morax said at this point.
Hearing Morax say they were *their* subjects, Rimuru immediately became happy.
“Okay, we’ll name them together.
These are *our* subjects.”
Maybe it’s not a big deal now… maybe it will be later.
“And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!”
