Jayr POV - Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken Universe, Central World, Ice Continent, Frost Palace - 2013 AMB
After I helped Gaia regain its sanity and evolve into a True Dragon, I brought Milim and Gaia to my home universe as promised and introduced them to the rest of the family.
Naturally, using my Digimon Incarnation, I had already informed everyone about everything that had happened since I arrived at the Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken Universe, including my meeting with Milim and how she suddenly "adopted me" as her little brother, telling them what I knew about her, her feelings, and her personality.
Knowing her sad and lonely past, in addition to her childish and direct personality, my wives and the rest of the family didn't hesitate to agree to openly welcoming Milim as my new "big sister".
I've to say that it was funny seeing the brash and confident Milim become almost a complete stuttering mess when she met my wives and kids for the first time, but, then she got over her clear apprehension toward a possible rejection, especially after Kharna, Galen, and Seiji called her aunty and started to shower her with attention and later affection as she played around with them, Python, Bidi, Drakeos, and Gaia following after them.
Just like that, Milim passed the rest of the day with us, getting to know everyone better, but naturally, she felt the strongest connection to Tio and our daughter Kharna, as their nature as Dragonman is very similar to Milim's nature as Dragonoid to the point that it almost feels like they are the same species, only called with a different name.
I've to admit that for a few brief moments, I was worried that Tio would make use of this closeness to "corrupt" Milim, but luckily Tio grew a lot as a person and now knows when she can let the "Lewd Dragon" out and when it is better to keep it hidden, mostly thanks to the presence of Kharna and the other kids.
Likely, Tio realized that even if Milim is actually over 2000 years old, she is still way too immature and has no interest at all in such subjects.
However, even if she felt such a connection with Tio and Kharna, it doesn't mean that she regards my other wives any less; in fact, she seems to be quite fond of all of them.
Alvida's direct personality matches Milim's quite well, and she also seems to be quite entertained by Alvida's past as a pirate to the point that she wants to try and be a pirate with her one of these days, something that Alvida agreed to as she does it from time to time.
Well, what she actually does is more like sailing around and hunting other, more malicious, pirates with the help of Bidi, but that is her own way to have fun and let loose without harming innocent people.
Robin's maturity and calm personality may seem in total contrast with Milim's childish and outspoken personality, but they in fact also get along very well, not only thanks to the fact that despite her childish attitude, Milim is frightily intelligent and seems to recognize and respect equally intelingent people, but and likely most importatnly also because she had lot of fun when Robin used her Devil Fruit power to play with her and the kids, such as tickling them or making them roll over.
Then there is Eri; she and Milim quickly bonded over the fact that they would completely and ruthlessly destroy anything that might harm those they care for. In fact, Eri was the only one who warned Milim that if she was going to harm any member of our family, she was going to regret it.
This worried me for a moment, but then Milim immediately started to laugh and replied that she would do the same and that she would make sure that no one would dare to hurt her family, making Eri smile knowingly.
Seika's genuine kindness and motherly behaviour immediately made Milim feel accepted and loved in ways she hasn't felt in such a long time that she has basically forgotten; on top of that, her excellent cooking immediately made Seika one of Milim's favorites among my wives.
Lastly, there is Saori, the only one among my wives whom Milim showed genuine respect during the first meeting, not only because of her status as Goddess but even more so for her frightening and immense power, which made even Milim, who can be regarded as one of the strongest in her universe, wary.
After all, no matter how many years pass, among all my wives, Saori, the Goddess Athena, is always, by far, the strongest among them all.
Meanwhile, regarding my kids, Milim really adores all of them, and she had a lot of fun spending time with them, playing together, watching anime, and so on, and in turn, my kids also like their newly acquired aunt a lot to the point that they wanted her to go to sleep with them.
At the end of the day, Milim went to sleep with a silly but content smile on her face, with my kids and Gaia hugging her. It was a really heartwarming scene, especially if one keeps in mind Milim's sad and lonely past.
After that, we spent a few more days in my home universe, where we introduced Milim to my sisters and the rest of the family, and, pretty much, it went very well.
Overall, we spent a few fun and peaceful days in my home universe, that is if one ignores the fact that the unholy union of my naughty younger sister Geist's prankster nature in combination with Milim's childish one caused quite a few Saints to be traumatized for life to the point that they are now so scared of younger girl and women that they start to physically feel ill in their presence and may likely change their sexual preferance.
But I've kinda let it slide since some of the Saint in question tried to get a little too close to my little sister with impure intentions... and I may or may not have helped them a little with their prank.
After those few days of relax, we returned to the Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken Universe where Milim and Gaia immediately left to get in contact with the Demon Lords, Guy Crimson and Ramiris, to convince them to host a Walpurgis Banquet so that I can inform them of the looming invasion and "convice" them to join forces to repel the enemy and protect their universe, and at the same time, take advantage of the opportunity to also get rid of an annoying element.
While waiting for Milim, I returned to Tempest, where Nikita, Zandeer, Rimuru, and the others updated me on their progress.
There, I learned that thanks to Elyun Grimwald, they were able to contact and convince the Sorcerous Dynasty of Sarion's royal family of the danger and were also able to forge an alliance with them.
So, right at this moment, the whole Sorcerous Dynasty of Sarion started to move, organize, and prepare for the inevitable war against the forces of the Champion of Power.
Thanks to that, only the human kingdoms in the west and the empire in the east remain as the only major factions left to contact and convince, which is quite good, as I have no idea how much time we have left.
A few days later, Milim returned with a big smile on her face, telling me that she was able to convince that "annoying" Guy and "empty-headed" Ramiris to host a Walpurgis Banquet that would take place in Guy's Frost Palace in the Ice Continent.
The Ice Continent is a continent located to the north of the Magic Continent, and it is primarily known for being the location of Guy Crimson's Frost Palace.
The Ice Continent is a land covered in fields of permafrost all year round, with constant blizzards caused by Velzard's aura creating a barrier around the entire continent that plummets the temperatures to below negative 120 degrees Celsius.
As a result of this, next to no organic life resides on the continent, only being inhabited by the various Daemons that serve Guy and the Frost Dragon Velzard.
In the distant past, the Ice Continent was once the central landmass of the world, being located far closer to the equator and holding the vast majority of the planet's population.
It was dominated by the Super-Sorcery Empire of Jahil, but that all changed when a civil war against the Magic Continent broke out, and Guy was summoned to end the stalemate, ultimately resulting in the near eradication of all life on the continent.
Many years later, it would become irreparably damaged when a fight broke out between Guy and Velzard, resulting in the shifting of the planet's axis and the freezing of the entire continent.
The Frost Palace is a beautiful castle, ruled by Demon Lord Guy Crimson, and was originally the Imperial Capital of the Super-Magic Empire during the era of the high humans.
It was the place Guy was summoned into the Central World by the Sorcerer Emperor Jahil.
It remained intact due to Rain and Misery avoiding the use of destructive magic when they slaughtered its inhabitants.
After Guy roamed the planet and was defeated by Veldanava, he decided to settle down to carry out his purpose as the Demon Lord.
His gaze landed on the ruins of the Imperial Capital from above and, deciding that it was fate, decided to make it his new home.
After Velzard showed up and subsequently challenged Guy to a fight, the fierce conflict had frozen the capital solid and shifted the planet's axis, causing the entire continent they were standing on to now be the north pole.
Guy, finding the frozen palace to be beautiful, decided to keep it frozen, with Velzard leaking out a small portion of her aura from then on to ensure it.
A few days later, we finally teleported to the Ice Continent to attend the Walpurgis Banquet, and the people who are taking part in the Banquet are the current ten Demon Lords.
The first seat, the one known as the Lord of Darkness, a member of the Daemon species, is Guy Crimson.
The second seat, the one feared as the Destroyer, the only Dragonoid born in this universe, Milim Nava.
The third seat, the mysterious Labyrinth Fairy, currently only a pixie, Ramiris.
The fourth seat, the one revered as Earthquake, the True Giant, Dargruel.
The fifth seat, the one worshipped as the Queen of Nightmares, the High Blood, Luminous Valentine.
The sixth seat, the lazy but dangerous Sleeping Ruler, the Fallen, Dino.
The seventh seat, the former Hero now known as Platinum Devil, the Demonoid, Leon Cromwell
The eight seat, the Harpy Queen, the Harpy, Frey.
The ninth seat, the Lion King, the Lycanthrope, Carrion.
And lastly, the tenth seat, the loathed Marionette Master, the Deathman who will soon truly die, Clayman.
The seating order around the round table is decided based on the order in which they became Demon Lords, not their actual strength.
Soon, Milim, Gaia, and I walk into the hall where the Walpurgis Banquet will take place, and I immediately notice that we are the last ones to arrive as everyone else has already taken their place around the round table in the middle of the hall, sitting in silence.
Seeing that, I don't hesitate to take a quick look at all the Demon Lords, starting with the tenth seat.
Clayman has the appearance that reminds me of those typical wealthy nobles.
He has a slim, oblong head topped with pale lavender hair; a face with a sharp chin and defined jawlines, and a pair of pointed ears on either side and thin eyebrows.
He sports a slender figure, and his eyes with red irises exude intelligence even as they suggest that he is rather high-strung.
He wears expensive and elegant clothes, sharing an overall white motif.
A long white tailcoat, grey vest, white shirt, slim white trousers, and white shoes, alongside a black bow-tie.
In the inner pocket of his tailcoat, he keeps a gold-plated pocket watch with an engraving on its lid, the chain of which could be seen.
After Clayman, I focus on the ninth seat, Carrion, the King of the Beast Kingdom of Eurazania and the Lycanthropes.
In his Human Form, Carrion has short spiky blonde hair, a large build, is very tall, with black, sharp nails, and a beast paw print tattoo on his right chest.
He wears loose clothing and a 3-part pauldron on his right shoulder, and his main weapon is clearly that halberd strapped on his back.
Then I move on to the next Demon Lord, the eighth seat, Sky Queen Frey, the Queen of the Harpy Queendom of Fulbrosia.
She is a harpy who has wings on her back and talons as feet; however, she can hide her talons to have human-like legs in place.
She has long white hair, yellow eyes, and a red gemstone on her head in addition to quite an impressive figure that would make many cultured men stoically declare, "Smash."
She is wearing a red dress that resembles a leotard, which fully shows her impressive assets.
Next, I focus on the seventh seat and ruler of the Golden City of El Dorado, which is located in yet another continent of the Central World, Leon Cromwell.
He has long platinum gold hair, blue, narrow eyes, a well-defined face, and skin so white that it is almost transparent, and his expression is serious and somewhat stern.
He is so beautiful that he is often mistaken for a woman at first glance, but despite his young appearance, he is actually three hundred years old.
He is wearing a long, dark-colored robe with a high collar that resembles a cape.
The robe has gold accents along the front placket and the edges of the sleeves.
Underneath, a darker coloured garment is visible, while the inner robe is a dark blue. A deep red lining is visible mostly at the lower hem of the cape. The cape itself is long and flows down past his knees. He also wears dark-colored, high-topped boots with gold accents around the ankles.
(Image Here - Leon Cromwell)
Leon was an Otherworlder who came to the Central World along with another person through a dimensional distortion, but immediately afterwards, that person disappeared.
In his search for her, Leon entered a contract with an Elemental of light and became a Chosen hero, but he eventually proclaimed himself a Demon Lord and antagonized another Demon Lord and prevailing in a life-or-death battle with him, taking his place on the Demon Lord council, and was officially recognized as a Demon Lord.
After that, Leon spent over two centuries attempting to summon that person to his side, and during his attempts, he secretly spread the method of (incomplete) summoning around the world, which resulted in many otherworlder children being summoned.
Leon was also the one who summoned Shizue Izawa out of the Tokyo firebombing and had Ifrit possess her, both in order to save her, but also to find a vessel for Ifrit, but he made a miscalculation, which ended up straining his relationship with Shizu even more, and after that, he moved his base over to El Dorado.
After taking a look at Leon Cromwell, I move on and focus on the sixth seat, the Fallen Angel who has the title of Sleeping Ruler, Dino.
Dino has the appearance of a youthful man that could be described as beautiful if it weren't for the rings under his eyes and his sleepy mannerisms; it is to the point that he could almost be interpreted as androgynous.
He has messy blue-silver hair with a striking purple streak that further gives a somewhat sloppy impression of him.
Dino's attire consists of a purple, long-sleeved tunic or coat with a high collar, belted at the waist with a white sash. Over this, he wears a lighter mint green cape that drapes loosely over his shoulders.
He also sports white armor-like pieces on his legs that extend from the knee to the ankle, creating a contrast with his dark clothing and suggesting a degree of protection or readiness for battle. He is wearing white boots that reach the middle of his calves.
The most striking feature is the pair of swords that Dino holds; they are sheathed, with only the hilts and a portion of the blades visible. The hilts are adorned with gold details.
The swords are crossed, held loosely but securely, which is an indicator of his confidence and preparedness despite the lazy attitude.
(Image Here - Dino)
Dino, like the rest of the Seven Angels of Origin, was born at the genesis of creation as a servant and chief advisor to the "Star King Dragon" Veldanava. By Veldanava's side, Dino served as his sword on the battlefield, becoming the greatest swordsman of that time. When the world was pacified and strife vanished, Veldanava tasked Dino with the role of the watcher, overseeing humanity and reporting their actions.
In accordance with this task, Dino traveled the world with Pico and Garasha, two other members of the Seven Angels of Origin. However, during Dino's absence, tragedy struck. Veldanava and his wife, Lucia, were both murdered by terrorists from another nation. Consumed by murderous rage, Dino unleashed his Ultimate skill, Astarte, destroying the nation responsible. Yet, this revenge did not bring solace. Upon regaining reason, Dino found that everything had lost its meaning.
Contemplating destroying the world itself, he realized the futility of such an action. Dino, rational but lacking positivity, set limits on his actions and sealed off his power of 'Astarte, "Lord of Heaven"' due to feeling responsible for the destruction wrought in passion. This loss of purpose marked the moment when Dino became a Fallen Angel.
Fortunately, his colleagues, Pico and Gracia, were with him, preventing his disappearance from the world. Despite thousands of years passing, Dino continued his mission as a watcher, devoid of the meaning of life. His search led him to find Milim, the last remnant and daughter of Veldanava and Lucia. Reluctant to acknowledge Milim as his master, Dino observed her from the shadows, allowing Pico and Gracia to gather information while he lived in idleness, eventually becoming a Demon Lord.
Without wasting even a second, I move on and focus my attention on the fifth seat, the Vampire who is actually the true ruler of the Holy Empire of Lubelius and the one who is revered as the "God" of the Holy Western Church, Luminous Valentine.
She is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old-looking girl having an imperfect yet complete beauty, as if she were trapped in the very moment when she matured from a girl to an adult.
She has long, straight silver hair that extends past her waist. Her most striking feature is her heterochromatic eyes that glisten in deep crimson and light sky blue.
Her expression is serious, almost stoic, and she has a slightly defiant posture, likely because she was forced to actually attend herself instead of her proxy, Roy Valentin, the Pope of the Western Holy Church and twin brother of Louis Velentin, the Emperor of the Holy Empire of Lubelius.
She's wearing a black dress reminiscent of gothic lolita fashion. The dress is layered with ruffles and has a fitted bodice with a small, collared white shirt detail at the neckline. The bodice is decorated with several small black bows. The sleeves are three-quarter length, and the dress itself falls to mid-thigh.
There are small tears or fabric accents near the elbows, adding to the somewhat edgy style.
She also sports tall black boots with gold detailing on the sides resembling a chevron or V shape.
A simple, dark-colored necklace is visible around her neck, and a black hair bow, positioned slightly left of center, adds to the overall style of her attire.
Basically, almost everything in her current attire seems to scream, I am a vampire.

I take my gaze away from the fake loli who is actually one of the oldest beings in this universe, as it is usually customary in settings like the one in this kind of universe, and briefly focus my attention on the fourth seat, the leader of the Giant race, Dagruel.
Dagruel has the appearance of a middle-aged man with blue eyes and short, spiky blue hair, and his skin tone is a light tan.
His face is serious, almost stern, and he has three tattoos on his face resembling long teardrop-like lines: one at the center of his forehead, and two below his eyes running over his cheeks in the direction of his sideburns.
His physique is incredibly muscular and well-defined, and he is over 2 meters tall while at rest, and can become up to ten times larger while in combat.
His prodigious height and well-toned body, plus his tendency to never mask his aura, give him the appearance of someone capable of shattering mountains with his bare hands.
He wears a white, loose-fitting garment that resembles a toga or draped robe, belted at his waist with a wide band of what looks like oval-shaped, metallic or wooden elements.
Underneath the robe, he has on dark gray or black pants that are somewhat baggy at the knees. His forearms are covered in gray or light blue arm guards that extend partway up his upper arms.
He wears white high-top shoes or boots with dark gray or black accents around the ankles.
(Image Here - Dargruel)
After Dargruel, I focus on one of the first generation of Demon Lords, alongside Guy Crimson and Milim Nava, the one who is also the Chosen hero's Guide, said to bestow Divine protection on Chosen heroes, and more importantly, the one who preserves the balance of the entire world, the third seat, Ramiris.
Ramiris resembles a normal Pixie, possessing large, translucent lavender-colored wings that extend outward and slightly upward behind her and can easily be mistaken for one due to her complete lack of presence.
Her hair is a bright, almost electric yellow, styled in a spiky, somewhat short cut with two long braids dangling down her back, tipped with yellow accents that resemble tassels.
She has pointed ears characteristic of fairy designs, and her golden eyes are large and bright, conveying a cheerful, slightly mischievous expression.
She's wearing a short, black dress with a yellow, V-shaped section at the waist.
The dress appears to have a slight sheen or texture, suggesting a certain material quality. She also sports white knee-high socks and black shoes, adding to her overall fanciful appearance.
Her skin is light-toned, and she has small, noticeable earrings.
She can be considered flat-chested and is small enough to rest on a flower.
(Image Here - Ramiris)
Lastly, I focus my attention on Guy Crimson, also known as Rouge, who is the oldest of the seven Primordials, the first known True Demon Lord, and the founder of the Demon Lord Council.
Guy is a handsome man with blood red eyes, as "stars of gold and silver dancing in them", with two black stripes under each of them resembling war paint or tribal markings.
His wavy, burning like hair is a deep shade of red that is around waist-length, styled in a somewhat spiky and unkempt manner.
He's about as tall as Leon, and his beauty is prideful and distant; he looks like someone born to lead and conquer with his lean but muscular physique.
He wears a dark-colored, open jacket or coat that reveals his very muscular chest.
Underneath, he has a white or light-colored sash around his waist with a longer red sash tied loosely around his hips.
His pants are dark purple, loose-fitting, and gathered at the ankles, while he wears white socks and dark shoes.
He also sports what appears to be a chest piece made of a series of metallic or bone-like elements, and his forearms have dark colored wristbands.
As a Daemon, he has the characteristic horns and wings of his race, but since, at the moment, he keeps them hidden, it is unknown what they look like.
He also has a female form with unknown characteristics, but it can be assumed that it shares many traits with the male form.
(Image Here - Guy Crimson)
While I'm taking a look at the people present, they are also focusing their attention on Milim, Gaia, and me.
Most of them are clearly curious, but some others are also obviously very wary.
Suddenly, Ramiris flies off her seat while cheerfully saying, "Yahoo~, You guys healthy?" followed by Dagruel, who also greets, "Long time no see!"
Then Dino sloppily says, "Yo!" before he looks at Luminous Velentive while commenting, "As usual, you people all seem rather gloomy."
As per her rights as the one who gathered them, Milim declares the start of the banquet by saying, "Let's not waste any more time on useless polite gestures and other such boring things. Let's begin my banquet. Thus, I declare that the Walpurgis Banquet has begun!"
And so, for the first time in many hundreds of years, the Walpurgis Banquet attended by every Demon Lord has finally begun.
