When interacting with a powerful figure like the Death Goddess, Rimuru always maintained a great deal of respect and caution.
Overall, their interactions were quite pleasant.
The Death Goddess learned things incredibly fast; she mastered many concepts after only one or two attempts, and often quickly surpassed Rimuru.
Naturally, Rimuru wouldn't seek abuse in this regard.
As soon as the Death Goddess surpassed her, she would immediately switch to a new trick.
It's always satisfying to bully the weak.
The only drawback was that Rimuru's mental reserve of new tricks was steadily dwindling.
Fortunately, the Death Goddess was genuinely "uninformed"; many tricks that were overused among humans were new to the Death Goddess, and Rimuru had a great time exploiting this.
Even so, Rimuru's "stockpile" was depleting at a visible rate.
There's no doubt that before long, she would be completely drained by the Death Goddess.
Having no other option, Rimuru tentatively brought out the ultimate weapon from her previous life—Korean dramas!
When she first pulled this out, Rimuru was skeptical.
After all, the Death Goddess's concepts differed vastly from those of humans.
Something that could make countless human women cry their eyes out might not hit the Death Goddess's emotional spot.
Initially, the Death Goddess thought the same.
She scoffed at the ultimate weapon Rimuru presented, finding Korean dramas full of plot holes.
For example, why did all the women in the drama look the same? She suffered from face blindness!
And why were those men and women so indecisive?
Why, after enduring countless hardships, did one person always have to get into a car accident at the end?
In short, Korean dramas made no sense to the Death Goddess.
Then came the "true fragrance" moment!
Watching the Death Goddess complain while wiping away tears, Rimuru couldn't help but secretly gloat.
Korean dramas truly were the ultimate weapon; even emotionless gods, as long as they were female, could be tricked into crying their eyes out.
While the Death Goddess was engrossed in binge-watching dramas, everything in Jotunheim returned to normal.
Jotunheim didn't have many daily affairs, and with Ciel's help, handling them was exceptionally easy.
Rimuru was becoming more and more adept at being King.
The only flaw was that such a life was too monotonous and boring.
After a while, it would feel dry and uninteresting.
Moreover, there was still Thanos, the great enemy with a "protagonist's aura"!
While she was enjoying herself every night, Thanos, who might be biding his time, could stir up a big incident and obtain a treasure.
If she didn't make further progress, she might be in big trouble!
At the very least, she needed to fully comprehend the primordial rune and evolve into the "Rune King" form; then she wouldn't be so passive.
She should find an opportunity to visit Earth for the Well of Truth!
Rimuru was not one to hesitate; she acted on her thoughts.
She was now qualified to be a hands-off ruler.
Rimuru wasn't worried about losing power; as long as she was strong enough, she would always be the King of Jotunheim.
Rimuru went directly to Queen Farbauti and expressed her thoughts.
Farbauti was startled when she first heard Rimuru's words.
Initially, she did intend to help her two sons regain their place in the center of power.
But with Jotunheim's two major crises, Farbauti completely abandoned that idea.
Now, Farbauti was very convinced of Rimuru's reign as King.
She had completely understood why Laufey hadn't passed the throne to his two sons but instead to a great enemy.
Was Rimuru testing her?
Or was she planning to settle scores later?
Queen Farbauti felt immense pressure.
After a tearful performance, Queen Farbauti finally confirmed that Rimuru truly wanted her to temporarily act as regent and handle Jotunheim's various affairs.
At that instant, Queen Farbauti's mind went blank.
But then, her heart was filled with immense joy.
She understood her husband Laufey's decision, but for a political figure to suddenly lose power, the feeling was imaginable.
Rimuru's decision was equivalent to allowing Farbauti to return to the center of power.
Farbauti was so thrilled; she completely submitted to Rimuru!
The next day, Rimuru summoned all the ministers of Jotunheim and publicly announced her decision to them.
For this, Rimuru even specifically explained her concern about Thanos potentially making a comeback.
The facts proved Rimuru had overthought it!
Realms like Jotunheim and Asgard, while broadly similar to ancient dynasties on Earth, were actually vastly different.
Almost every King here was the strongest, and their subordinates' loyalty was incomparable to ancient emperors.
Secondly, there was the concept of time; Jotunheim's people were long-lived, and their perception of time was completely different from Rimuru's.
Even if Rimuru wanted to be a hands-off ruler for one or two years, or even decades or a century, in their eyes, it was a very short time.
Moreover, hadn't the King arranged everything?
Thus, what Rimuru considered a major event passed easily with unanimous approval.
Upon receiving the news, Wind giant, Mountain Jade, and the others were also exceptionally excited.
After their repeated pleas, Rimuru had agreed to take them along.
Earth, the King's former home planet, was something they had longed to visit for a long time.
Furthermore, they had long heard that Earth was exceptionally rich, with abundant cultural entertainment, making it very fun and interesting.
They could finally fulfill their wish!
"King, how do I look in this?"
Mountain Jade said, taking out a palace dress similar to those in Asgard and holding it up to herself.
The fabric of the dress was luxurious, and the craftsmanship was exquisite; it was one of Mountain Jade's best outfits.
But it made Rimuru laugh wryly; if Mountain Jade wore this dress to Earth, it would be impossible to have fun.
She would probably be pointed at wherever she went, mistaken for a cosplay enthusiast.
"Change it, change it. Didn't I bring you some custom-made Earth clothes when I returned from Earth last time?"
Soon, when Mountain Jade and the others emerged wearing Earth-style dresses, Rimuru's eyes immediately lit up.
Mountain Jade was a Mountain Giant, Wind giant was a Wind Giant, and even the shortest, Ice Dream, was nearly two meters tall; wearing Earth-style dresses, they truly had a unique charm.
However, Rimuru also felt a bit helpless after seeing them.
With their height, even wearing Earth clothes, they would definitely be the center of attention.
It seemed that being low-key on this trip to Earth would be impossible!
Well, so be it!
Since she had already promised them, Rimuru wouldn't easily break her word.
Frost Mist's cheeks were flushed, full of shyness.
Compared to Jotunheim's women's clothing, Earth's clothing was a bit too revealing, making her very embarrassed but also exceptionally excited.
"King, we're all changed. Let us help you change your clothes!"
"Okay!"
Rimuru nodded, not resisting.
Having been King for so long, her appearance had always been managed by the four women; she had grown accustomed to it.
"King, do you still want this blue one?"
Mountain Jade took out a blue garment and held it up.
Blue was Rimuru's favorite color, and she used to wear blue clothes the most.
Rimuru subconsciously wanted to agree; after reincarnating as a Slime, she had a fondness for blue.
But seeing the blue garment in Mountain Jade's hand, Rimuru couldn't help but frown and said, "No. Change it to the black one!"
"Okay!"
Mountain Jade didn't doubt her; whatever Rimuru said, went.
Standing before the mirror.
Looking at herself in a pure black garment, Rimuru subconsciously nodded.
Pure black, representing Death, truly suited her as well!
