Epilogue or Epilog is a paragraph written at the end of a story, it often used to mark the end a work, a composition or a master piece.

This is a necessary in every composition that has been created through out the year

But

What happens after the Epilogue?

Because that's the thing we will be going over in this very moment, what happens after Tensura?

or better yet what happens Beyond The Epilogue

let start from the after where the origin left off, shall we?

We all to familiar with the story about a guy in his late 30's being stab to death then got rebirth as a slime name Rimuru Tempest, one of the weakest race there is and work his way to become an entity so great that spacetime become a meaningless play thing for him, yes?

Well after became an entity like that the first thing Rimuru did is when back to that faithful day and prevent his death from happening

Normally this would create a new separate timeline like many movies, comics and so on are showing nowadays.

But that is not the case with the world of Tensura

instead of make a new branch in the flow of time, changing the past only lead to a new future as the Butterfly Effect work in the fullest

whether it big or small, a change in the pas is still going to effect future and Rimuru have to learn it again the hard way

"W-what had happened!!?" scream in both panic and terror as what lay infront of Rimuru eyes is a wasteland empty even to a slightest sign of life there is

and when Rimuru use his Magicule Sense to the fullest he can sense anything even the spirit that bring life to place that beyond repair was absent

Tremble and confuse, Rimuru reach out to the only person who he thought that might have an answer to this all

"Ciel what is going on!? What had happened to the world!??"

As soon as the question was brought up a machine like but fluent voice which belong to Rimuru partner Ciel appear and answering the question in his head

"w-wait what!?" tremble as Ciel reply, Rimuru almost stumble onto the ground as his legs feel like it would give up if it haven't for Rimuru snap off the shock and calm himself down

Now when calmer, Rimuru want to clarity what Ciel said was truth and not because he misheard by asking her "Ciel... what did you said..."

Knowing well this is a shock for Rimuru so Ciel stay silence for a bit so he can get more calm before Ciel confirm the words she said early is truth

Now knowing what had happened, Rimuru fell into a spirals since because of him the place once a happy world now nothing more then a empty space, a wasteland without any life in it

A wave of guilt rush in and weight in to Rimuru shoulder just like when he first saw the death of his subordinates when the Falmuth kingdom attack, but this time that guilt was multiply to hundreds time since it was Rimuru action that turn the world he once knew into this

Knee down onto ground and tear slowly rolling down and fall of his cheeks, the only thing Rimuru can do right now was cry and repeat to himself that "it all my fault" over and over again

As tears continue to fall so does Rimuru spirit as he moans the guilt which weight his soul down making feel like he being drag down to the center of the planet

But then suddenly a familer voice appear up in the middle of nowhere

"Ri-imur-ru ### c@n##you-uuuu##heee@r## meee-e" the voice was distorted like it was coming from a broken speaker phone. Yet lucky it was clear enough for Rimuru understand and know who is speaking to him

Immediately Rimuru shot right up from the ground and looking around using his Magicule Sense to the fullest and hurriedly calling out the name of the person who he think is speaking to him right now "Velgrynd!? is that you?!! Where are you right now!??"

Turn out the person who is 'speaking' to Rimuru right now is Velgrynd, one of 3 true dragon in there world whom also is the embodiment of acceleration

"e-eeend##of-f###t!!!mee"

Hearing those worlds, Rimuru understand right away what Velgrynd trying to said

Wipe away the tears on his eyes, Rimuru quickly stand up and give orders "Ciel get use to the end of time quick"

As soon as Rimuru give out the order, Ciel reply quickly "master making a trip to go out side of time right now is risky especially when the time just got change moment early"

Hearing that Rimuru just say "I don't care"

silent for a bit from Rimuru words but then Ciel speak up, obeying her master command with a simple "understand my lord" but that reply in a computer voice fill with unplease with Rimuru voice and tons

With that in an instant Rimuru physical, spirit and digital form completely disappear as he make his way to the end of time

while being transfer to his where Velgrynd is located at, Rimuru have a bit guilty from ordering Ciel like that while he thinking to himself that "did I go overboard " "I should apologize to Ciel" "hope She ain't to mad right now"

But what Rimuru don't know that Ciel can see every thought he is thinking right now and it does put a smile on her face that her master do care about her "oh master Rimuru... I can't never stay mad you... You are my world... My E-Very-Thing"

Finally Rimuru arrive to the place he need to go The End Of Time, a place where time had cease to exit as time itself had reach it finally end alongside with everything

Well almost everytime because in this deep voir of nothingness the laid 2 entity, you can already tell who are those to is Rimuru and Velgrynd

Velgrynd waste no time rush right at Rimuru with the questions "what is going on!!?" when she notice his appearance

Faced with Velgrynd question, Rimuru hang his head down in shame but he know more then anyone else that he had own up to his action and tell Velgrynd what he did

Shock, baffle, confuse but more then that Velgrynd was Furious at Rimuru

"What the heck were you thinking!? You a god Rimuru! How Do you know you not know that changing the past will not change the future!!?"

"I... I truly sorry.... I over look and..." answer but weakly, the guilt once again build up and weighting Rimuru down while Velgrynd continue to scolding at Rimuru

"And thank to you now everyone that we knew are!... are... are gone..."

"Rudra/masayuki... Velzard... Veldora... They all gone... just like that..."

As she finish with her words, tear begin to roll out of Velgrynd eyes as she can't contain herself anymore then broke down into a sobbing mess, moaning for the lose of the world the family she once have

Seeing Velgrynd covering her tearing face with her hand, the guilt inside Rimuru only grown especially when some of the people that Velgrynd mention look up to Rimuru

Clenching his hands into fists and gnashing his teeth again each other, Rimuru hated himself for making that stupid action of when back in time and stopping his death

"tell me Rimuru... *sob* is there anyway... to fix this..."

Hearing that question, Rimuru stay silence for a bit but because right now he is thinking what should he do to undo all of this while Velgrynd is looking at him with the little hope lingering left in her eyes

"going back to stop myself isn't an option that for sure..."

As much as Velgrynd hate it but she have to agree with Rimuru words "yes... It not wise to go on the that that risk making the same mistake twice..."

"wait if so then how about you travel to that point in time to stope me?" Rimuru quickly ask thinking that he crack the answer but was sadly dismiss by Velgrynd shortly after when she said

"I would but I can't because if I jump back in the timeline now then I will cease to exist since your dumb ass change the past"

"that why I immediately jump straight to the end of time when I sense an change in time"

Hearing that Rimuru disappointed and response with a simple "oh..." then when back to the brainstorming to think of a way to restore the world but nothing cross Rimuru mind then suddenly Ciel speak up inside of Rimuru head

"master I might have a solution"

"wait what really!!? Tell me now!" reply quickly at Ciel worlds, this might be Rimuru last change to redeem himself from his action

hearing how quickly and the desperately of her master voice, Ciel open up and tell Rimuru about her plan of restoring the world back to it original form "there many ways to restore our world master, easier way is simply create a similar world or go back and stop ourselves"

"but... Because I know master will have object creating a similar world and the timeline is... unstable right now"

"so... I come up with another way"

as Ciel said that her voice turn bit ominous but Rimuru doesn't notice it since right now because all of his focus right now is aim at the solution that Ciel about to said

See how focused Rimuru is Ciel begin her speech about the foundation of the world

"As you know this world is built to withstand the power of Veldanava but what make this world different from the others? Why is this the only world that can handle Veldanava godlike power?"

"different.... Different..." ponder at Ciel question a bit, Rimuru realize what she asking was true the cardinal world of tensura is the only world that can handle multiple power house like Primordial demon, Angel of origin, spirit queen and many other powerfull entity/race

But then it hit him, the only reason that for Tensura cardinal world can be so resilient is because of "the Dragon Factor of a true dragon..."

smirk up, Ciel quite supprise and impress that her master can pick up the sign but again it not like it to hard, Yuuki one of her master past enemy did mention this before

"you are correct master, each True Dragon have a Dragon Factor and each of those symbolize an aspect of the cosmology"

"Velgrynd acceleration, Velzard deceleration and Veldora the incarnation of chaos"

As Ciel continue her speech, she create the image of the cosmology itself so her dear master Rimuru can understand it better "it's also why the cardinal world so resilient that much, because this world have 3 concept backing it up"

"but when we was back at our world I only sense one concept present which is acceleration"

"wait what!?? if so then where is the other 2? where is Velzard and Veldora!??" Rimuru ask, waiting for Ciel to explain the where did the 2 of them when missing

"master did you forget you change the timeline?"

"my guess is when we safe your pastself it leading to there no Satoru to reborn and no master to safe the world from yuuki"

Hearing Ciel explain her hypothes on why the world is ended in this timeline Rimuru start to wonder "Ciel may I ask... What does all of this have to do with your plan of restoring our world?"

let out a sign although she not supprising on the fact that her master doesn't understand what she saying but she can't blame Rimuru since if she was to explain to herself from the past then no doubt she won't understand either

"It's okay if master don't understand, the main thing that we have to do now is to find Veldora and Velzard back"

"By combine Turn null and the Dragon Factor of the 3 true dragon I can restore the world back like when we never left it"

Ciel answer is like honey sweet and soothe, it sounds really perfect to the point of the other person don't understand a thing they still know what to do and Rimuru is that person

Back to the outside after the conversation with Ciel in his head, Rimuru begin to explain the plan and what he needs to do this point onwards

"Hm... So how are you planning to find my brother and sister? And if you fine them I double they will know you let alone come with you" Velgrynd speak up, point out the little but also essential part of the plan

as quick as Velgrynd ask the questions, Rimuru answer it with the help of Ciel

"I will use Universal Perception that got amped up by Turn Null"

"And thought your Dragon Factor we can locate Velzard and Veldora dragon Factor"

Although still skeptical about the plan and the feasibility of it but similar with Rimuru, Velgrynd had to agree to it as it is the only plan they can come up

So the only thing Velgrynd can do is reluctantly agree with this plan

And with that the mission was clear, by using the Universal Perception that got amped up by Turn Null on Velgrynd Dragon Factor, Rimuru easily locate the location of Velzard and Veldora Dragon Factor

"I'll be going now wish me luck" with those final words Rimuru blackout, his body go limp like a ragdoll as his subconscious and soul leave his body

Seeing that Velgrynd doesn't supprise and turn her back at Rimuru body while whispering "you better be success... And safe..."

in spite of still being mad at him, Velgrynd can't deny that Rimuru is all she have left and if he gone for good then Velgrynd will be trap here in this endless voir forever

But... Turning her back at Rimuru body isn't a smart thing, because as soon as Velgrynd whispering those words

Rimuru body begin to move and and when it lift it head up, a crimson red eyes glow with a nefarious intent behind it glazing right at Velgrynd
