Alright Milim, this is just you and me now. I use [Hermetic Reality] to make an area separate from the one Rimuru and the rest are in and expand the space to give us more room to fight. Sorry Guy but your area isn't going to cut it. Milim runs up to me and begins attacking immediately. [Solomon], I need you here at your best. We've got this! A massive flurry of punches comes in as [Solomon] and I both use [Perfect Warrior] at its maximum to dodge every single one of her attacks. Finding an opening I land a punch sending her back a few meters.
Alright, that went well, better than I thought. She recovers fast and keeps attacking. As she does she begins adapting to my movements and as one barely grazes past my face her other fist finally comes right at me. I use [Dimensional Barrier] to block it but see it crack from the force. Seeing it crack, she punches one more time. The barrier shatters and goes right through. Right when it's about to hit me it's suddenly displaced, flying by me at incredible speeds.
I immediately jump back. [Dimensional Barrier]'s molecular displacement effect really saved me there. An effect that [Dimensional Barrier] has is it instantly moves the molecules of anything near me to another point in space inside the barrier. This makes it near impossible to hit me even if you break the initial shell of the barrier. The majority of the benefits [Dimensional Barrier] offers are actually the inside of it, not the outer shell. That's something that sets it apart from others. Of course, the problem here is it can be overtaxed by strong enough attacks so it won't save me if Milim starts going all out.
The fight continues. As we move around the force of our feet touching the ground breaks the floor and sends shockwaves everywhere. Occasionally landing hits, my attacks barely leave any damage while Milim's are all only not blowing holes in me because they haven't hit me yet. Most of my power comes from skills, not actual physical ability, that's an issue here.
A blast of Magicules comes flying at me. "[Annihilation]!" Destroying the blast, the puff of Magicules left behind leaves me open to a sneak attack from behind letting her hit me with a larger blast of Magicules.
{Notice- The [Dimensional Barrier] has absorbed Magicules. Would you like to absorb them or send them back?}
Reflect them back at Milim. At least for now, the [Magicule Fusion Reactor] should be enough to replenish my Magicules for now.
This is yet another effect of the [Dimensional Barrier]. It allows me to absorb or reflect Magicule based beam attacks. Absorbing them puts them directly into my Magicule reserves while reflecting them sends a blast of Magicules equal to a fraction of the amount I take back at the opponent.
{Answer- Understood.}
A golden flash is seen as a blast is reflected back at Milim. She jumps back to try and dodge but is too slow and is hit by it, dealing miniscule damage. She immediately shakes it off and runs in for a kick.
{Notice- Optimal defense confirmed.}
As Milim swings I am pulled back with [Hermetic Reality] by [Solomon]. So it's helping, that's good. On my way back I blast Milim head on with [Annihilation].
Blocking my attack with a barrier of her own, the raw power of [Annihilation] still knocks her back. This gives me an opening. I run forward and charge my fist with Magicules. As she prepares to block I hear [Solomon] again.
{Notice- Optimal attack confirmed.}
With [Hermetic Reality] I am teleported behind Milim while maintaining my own momentum. This allows me to hit her with a full force punch to the back of her head. Before she can turn around I hit her with a flurry of punches, ending with a powerful kick that sends her flying. Running after her she attacks with small blasts of Magicules which are easily blocked and reflected back by my [Dimensional Barrier] as I go in for another assault. This time however, Milim starts putting more effort into her attacks.
Dodging her attacks I keep attacking. Being near untouchable as I attack, I get the feeling that this might quickly end. Turns out, I'm correct. Putting in even more effort, Milim goes in for another punch which goes through my barrier completely and rips my arm off from the force. That's not good, she's powering up.
{Notice- Optimal response has been confirmed. Requesting access to the Magicule Dim...}
No, not yet. If you open it, it'll be overkill. On top of that I only open it in extreme life-threatening scenarios. This isn't one of them.
{Error- Unable to comprehend. A life-threatening scenario has been confirmed.}
It's not a life threatening scenario. Milim isn't being controlled so she won't kill me. You should know this.
{Error.}
Just like [Raphael] huh. I guess it still doesn't understand that Milim won't actually kill me.
Back to the actual fight I use [Hermetic Reality] to grab Milim telekinetically, lift her up and slam her into the ground. Dragging her full force across the ground, destroying any flooring in front of her.
She pulls herself out of it and runs up to me, punching me full force. The punch lands and blows a hole in my body. Dammit. While the punch lands I ignore it and hit her with a spinning kick with [Flash-Freeze] active. As she's sent back her side is covered in ice. Spending time breaking it off I quickly hit her with another jab.

"Okay, but you asked for it."

Milim rises up in front of me as she begins to glow. Some of the Demon Lords watching the fight all look on in shock. Why would Milim do this? She grows a horn on her head, sprouts wings, her hair becomes more spiky and a set of black armor appears on her body. As she pulls out the sword Tenma she prepares to fight me.
Pulling out the Adamant Blade and powering it up with [Demon Lord Haki] and [Demonic Presence], absorbing all my aura into it, the sword begins to glow a dark indigo-blue color. [Solomon], put my [Magicule Fusion Reactor] into overdrive.
{Answer- Understood.}
I've made it so the fusion reactor speeds up its production of Magicules dramatically. Producing three Magicules at once instead of two. While this may not sound too impressive at first, this makes it so I can use 66% of my Magicules at once and still have all of mine available the next moment. This is going to come in handy here.
As my Phoenix Wings appear I jump and flap upwards with a swing. The two swords clash, sending a shockwave outwards. Here comes the generic anime sword clash. Moving around with even more power output our footsteps leave holes in the ground. The stone floor gets sent outwards in large ripples of broken rock. Our swords clash once more with the force knocking me off balance.
"Milim Punch!"
{Notice- Optimal defense confirmed.}
My head moves subconsciously to avoid the punch. "Ergh, she's too fast. It's time I guess."
As I snap my fingers I yell, "Hermetic Reality: Selective Speed Formula, Selective Force Formula and Selective Density Formula!" Naming my [Hermetic Reality] effects, what all these do are in the name. Selective Speed changes the laws of physics to speed me up and slow down my opponent. Selective Force changes the laws of physics to change the force formula and increase my own power while lowering my opponent's. Selective Density makes our density change depending on the situation to benefit me and hurt her as well. Of course, they all also stack.
As the snap happens a bright blue burst of light emanates out of my hand. The broken laws of physics permeate throughout our little separate world I made that separates us from Rimuru and Clayman to benefit me for the better. Milim ignores it and keeps attacking, not realizing she's moving slower now. Still landing a hit, instead of blasting a hole through me, she only breaks part of me off.
Acceleration*Mass=Force, Milim. It's basic physics. I just changed all three to make them higher for me and lower for you. "It won't be so easy now Milim." Speeding up dramatically I grab her and lift, spinning fast and slamming her into the ground full-force. "Annihilation!" Landing a direct hit, the attack sends her flying as her own strength keeps her from being erased like normal materials.
Teleporting where Milim will be sent I wait for her. Punching her in the stomach then kicking her upwards I prepare to send a massive blast of Magicules her way. That's when I see her glowing.
"Shit." Raising my [Dimensional Barrier] I notice she isn't attacking.
"[Dragon's Might]!" What the hell is that!? "[Dragobuster]!" Multiple blasts of Magicules are sent my way. Oh shit!

I look up as the blast hits me head-on. The [Dimensional Barrier] shatters but the [Stardust Shield] stays up. Meanwhile the inside of the [Dimensional Barrier], which the [Stardust Shield] is inside of, sends an attack equivalent to 10% of her [Dragobuster] back at her.
Yeah, no. Let's do this real quick.
{Notice- Using Magicule knowledge to create a new Unique Skill.
Unique Skill [Magicule Amplifier] has been acquired.}
I ready my arms and fire, "Amplified [Annihilation]!"
A massive black ball of energy large enough to engulf my house is sent straight at Milim. Milim flaps her wings and dodges, flying down and swinging with her sword Tenma. I go back to my Slime form to dodge and kick her back as she misses. As she tries to punch I dodge again and attack her full force as many times as possible. Suddenly she starts glowing again.
Shit! "[Starflare]!" What are these attacks!? I've never heard of them before!?
{Notice- Optimal defense has been calculated.
Hermetic Reality: Absolute Darkness has been activated.}
As the laws of physics make it impossible for light to exist in my immediate area everything goes pitch black. I can only see with [Universal Detect] at this point.
{Notice- Ultimate Skill [Barachiel] subkill [Phantasm] has been activated.}
[Phantasm] has remained the same as it was as a Unique Skill. I guess it keeps its weakness to keep it from being too strong. However, because of [Hermetic Reality], I found a way to bypass it. By removing all light with [Hermetic Reality], I can become impossible to hit at the cost of my eyesight, which I don't even need to actually see. Pretty good workaround. As the attack flies by and I phase right through she is wide open. Grabbing the Adamant Blade with both arms, I swing as hard as I can. She manages to dodge but I do manage to clip the end of her wing.
Milim instantly punches me back, knocking me back far away. Ergh, she can't deal enough damage to defeat me but I can't deal significant enough damage to wear her out. On top of that we both have skills that keep our Magicules from running out. This is gonna go on forever if I don't do anything big.

Is that sass!?
{Error- Unable to understand the question.}
It's being petty because it doesn't like my decision!? What is this!?
I turn and look at the other Demon Lords, they aren't even looking at Rimuru anymore. They're completely focused on me. Fuck it, let's end this with a bang.

"Milim, I need you to use your [Dragonova]!"
"Eh!? Why!?"
"It's about time to end this fight! It's been going on for a bit too long!"
"Already!? But..."
"No buts Milim! This fight has to end! How about this!? I'll let you fight me all you want back in Tempest if you do!"
"You promise!?"
"Promise!"
"Okay! But why do you want me to use [Dragonova]?"
"Just do it. Trust me, it'll be cool. Also, about the [Dragonova], it won't actually end the fight, after that just keep fighting normally. I'm going to use my second strongest attack."
"Eh!? No! Use your strongest!"
"No!"
"Pleeeeaaase!?"
"No! Maybe later." You probably wouldn't survive my strongest unrestrained attack unprepared.
In a sad tone she says, "Okaaay, I guess I can wait."

A normal anime sword fight continues until finally Milim has a chance to break away and use her [Dragonova], realistically. She starts shining before yelling, "[Dragonova]!"
Alright [Solomon], you can open the dimension.
{Hmph, Notice- Ultimate Skill [Barachiel] subskill [Hermetic Reality] has been used to open the Magicule Dimension.}
Time to introduce the Magicule Dimension. What I essentially did was open a pocket dimension with [Hermetic Reality] and pour in half my Magicules into it over and over. With the [Magicule Fusion Reactor] they were constantly being replaced allowing me to push more into the dimension over and over. This makes it so I can grow my overall capacity by a massive amount, however, this isn't infinite. I have a limit to the size of a pocket dimension I can make. However, by constantly pushing Magicules into it, I can cram it full of Magicules that I can use myself.
This also keeps it from collapsing because the constant pushing force on the edges of the dimension make it so it doesn't close and keep growing. However, the bigger the dimension the more Magicules it takes to keep it open. That ultimately limits its size to about 70 times the amount I normally have. Yes, that makes it so I have much more Magicules available than even Velzard. But, there is one issue.
Because they aren't in me and instead in an outside source and there are way more than I can handle I can't channel them through me all at once. I would give myself Magicule Poisoning. That makes it so in small bursts I can only channel about twice the amount I have normally. To use all of them I have to channel them into the attack over a longer period of time. That is what my strongest attacks do. Those attacks make use of large amounts of my Magicule Dimension making them much, much stronger than most normal attacks in this world rivaling the raw power of the True Dragons. However, they take time to make. They're basically faster Spirit Bombs. I can only channel as much as I normally have for normal and melee attacks.
[Solomon], it's time. "Hermetic Reality: Absolute Gravitational Control- Singularity!" A small black hole appears in front of the [Dragonova] and is fed my own Magicule Dimensions Magicules slowly as it eats the [Dragonova]. Placing it at an angle to make it spin for a very specific reason the [Dragonova] is eaten by the black hole making it grow in size.
Done, now, "Hermetic Reality: Matter Creation!"
A dome of mirror-like Magisteel surrounds the black hole. Blasting Gamma Rays inside the dome and closing it I continue.
"Hermetic Reality: Dimension Creation and Dimension Transferal!"
The black hole and dome are both sent to another dimension visible to everyone.
"Hermetic Reality: Absolute Gravitational Control- Time Distortion!"
It's finished, my attack has been set up. It's a complicated attack to set up but not exactly hard for me to find a place to use it. With the time distortion, it'll take 12 seconds for it to charge up. Milim sees this but ignores it and charges. This is where, during a normal fight I would have to hang on.
8 seconds left. Our swords clash as I endow my Adamant Blade with [Annihilation] to make it much stronger.
4 seconds left. Milim starts overpowering me in the clash, not holding back much.
3 seconds left. I'm knocked to the ground.
2 seconds left. I block her attacks with my back to the ground.
1 second left. She goes in for a, would be, killing attack. If she wasn't planning to spare me this would be my final chance.
0 seconds left. I smile as the sword reaches the tip of my nose and I snap my finger. Sending Milim to the same dimension where the black hole is, her sword hits nothing.
Time to taste the most powerful theoretical bomb by modern science and one of the strongest potential natural events at once Milim. A black hole bomb, a potentially man-made explosion theoretically capable of rivaling supernovas, and a black hole collapse.
I stand up, "Hermetic Reality: Ultimate Attack, Physics Magic- Black Bomb!" [Solomon], you might want to protect her from this. It won't kill her but it will injure her quite a bit.
{Answer- On it. Hermetic Reality: Selective Magicule Density Formula and Selective Density Formula have been activated.}
The dome is destroyed as the black hole also detonates itself creating a massive explosion, dwarfing any seen before in size. The explosion is several times brighter than the sun. Milim tries to block but it's no use, most of the energy is straight up physical energy, not Magicule based at all and the Magicules that are sent outwards are too strong for even her to block completely. The explosion sends her upwards, hitting the walls of the dimension knocking her out.
Transferring her back into the dimension I'm in, I jump up and catch her. She's asleep but smiling, no doubt from seeing my attack. I smile when I see her smile as well. Landing, she immediately wakes up, "Waah! Eh? Migeru! That was so cool!"
"Really? Well, you immediately woke up so I think it's not that impressive."
"Yes it is! You knocked me out! That's amazing!"
I smile a little mischievously, "Really now?"
"It is amazing! I'm really strong! Not just anyone can do that!" She starts pouting a little.
"I know, I know. I was just joking. Of course I know how strong you are." Landing with Milim in a princess carry, I look at Rimuru and Clayman. It seems this went well. Looks like Clayman still hasn't evolved into a True Demon Lord.. What I'm about to do probably will.
