I am the emperor of Mengwang

Chapter 1081 The Difficulty of Obtaining Ultimate Skills; The Powerlessness of the Crowd

After all, many of the people present had reached their own plateau, and now that they had encountered an opportunity to further improve their skills, how could they not be eager to try?

Only by becoming stronger can you protect those you want to protect!

Only then can they better serve their lord with loyalty!

"Ultimate skill".

"This is your biggest flaw right now, and your only shortcoming!"

These words immediately caused an immediate silence in the room.

Many people looked puzzled, while some fell into deep thought, and others showed an expression of knowing it was true.

Many of those present had already reached the limits of what they could currently achieve.

Furthermore, given that he is an 'Awakened Demon King', how could he possibly have no understanding of 'ultimate skills' at all!

Of course, there are also those who recognize it without knowing anything about it, such as: 'Ziyuan' and... reclusive immortals and others!

However, the one who understands the existence of 'ultimate skills' best is 'Zekien', who is known as the 'Emperor of Insects'.

After all, he is the only one who obtained the ultimate skill "King of Illusions" when he "awakened" and became a "True Demon King"!

Because of this skill, among all the awakened powerhouses in the Demon Kingdom Federation, 'Zeqi' is second only to Mo Li and other overpowered beings, and also the strongest among them, 'Xiao'!

Even the current 'Diavolo' is no match for 'Zeqi'!

The existence of 'ultimate skills' is one aspect!

Another reason is that 'Zekien' has cells from 'Rimuru'. In a sense, 'Zekien's' opponent is like a degenerated version of 'Rimuru'. Diavolo is certainly no match for him.

In the original text, there is another version of the story.

That is, the 'Insect Emperor' Zechion was created by the 'Charles' to counterbalance the 'Primordial Black' Diablo.

After all, both the racial advantages and physical structure of the 'Zeqien' are perfect templates for countering the 'Demon' race.

Of course, even so, many people do not believe that 'Zeqien' would be Diablo's opponent!

There's no way around it! 'Diavolo's' attributes are indeed a little bit bugged, with the special attribute of infinite resurrection, resurrecting without time limit, and even increasing strength after resurrection.

This alone meant that there was absolutely no chance of a direct confrontation with Diablo.

Anyway, there are many stories about the two in the past, but the only thing that is certain is that both Diavolo and Zekion were among the strongest under Rimuru!

He was a powerful being who could be compared to the 'Dragon Seed' Velu in the later stages.

Later in the story, some jokingly say that Rimuru has four Heavenly Kings under his command!

These are Diablo, the "Primordial Black"; Benimaru, the "Great General"; Zekion, the "Insect Emperor"; and Veldora, the "Storm Dragon".

These four individuals have almost completely surpassed the others under Rimuru's command, even reaching a point where they can compete with those top-tier beings.

Of course, Rimuru is still above them.

There's no way around it! The 'combat power' in the later stages of this novel almost completely collapsed, with characters whose existence value was in the tens or hundreds of millions suddenly appearing.

The situation has truly deteriorated to the point where 'Demon Kings' are no better than dogs, 'True Demon Kings' are everywhere, and even those 'Cataclysmic' beings, who are said to be capable of destroying the world, are popping up one after another.

The same applies to 'ultimate skills', which are also known as 'powers'. The ultimate abilities that touch upon ultimate power have become so numerous and varied that they are almost indistinguishable from the most powerful ones.

Almost every notable being is equipped with an ultimate skill!

The breakdown of this combat power began in the "Heavenly Demon Chapter," which revolves around the "Great War between Heavenly Demons."

Therefore, before this 'great battle' began, Mo Li tried his best to ensure that those who were qualified to obtain 'ultimate skills' all obtained them!

Otherwise, in the later stages of the game, they wouldn't even have the qualifications or ability to enter those ordinary battlefields!

In more serious cases, even self-defense could become a problem!

Regardless of what we say, at the very least we need to equip the hardware.

In this 'war between the heavens and demons', the so-called ultimate skill was just an ordinary piece of equipment.

“Your Majesty, I know how powerful the ‘ultimate skill’ is, but that kind of ability is not something that can be easily obtained.”

"I've exhausted all my time and effort, but I still have no clue what to do. My unique skills haven't changed at all!"

At this moment, Benimaru's face no longer held the pride and honor of being the "General" of the "Demon Kingdom Federation." Instead, it was filled with self-mockery and guilt for his inability to repay the Emperor's high expectations.

Even when he spoke, his face was full of bitterness.

He truly devoted all his time to training and hard work. Apart from those unavoidable matters, he even spent much less time with his two wives, 'Benimaru'.

All for the sake of improving their own strength and obtaining that so-called 'ultimate skill'!

Benimaru has witnessed the power of 'ultimate skills' before, but... he doesn't have the ability to acquire them!

He even challenged Lord Veldora, the Storm Dragon, and Lord Jotaka, the Rock Dragon King, who guarded the 100th floor in the Underground Labyrinth several times in an attempt to obtain this 'ultimate skill,' but was defeated each time without success.

He had also put himself on the brink of life and death before. He once challenged Xiao, the "Great Sage Who Subdues Demons," and in that battle, without any backup plan or recovery ability, he was just a hair's breadth away from death.

Did it truly fight the 'Xiao' to the point of near death, or was it ineffective?

He really had no other choice; we couldn't just let him die, could we?

He's not a 'primordial demon' or a 'dragon' that can be resurrected after death. Unless he's in the underground labyrinth or wearing a 'resurrection bracelet,' when he dies, he's truly dead!

And many others share this idea; don't they also want to improve their own abilities?

After all, the stronger one is, the more secure the protection for the 'Demon Kingdom Federation' will be. But how could 'ultimate skills' be so easy to obtain!?

Even within the 'Demon Kingdom Federation,' the number of beings possessing 'ultimate skills' is so small that they can be counted on one hand.

(At this time, no one knew that the 'Original Three Women' had obtained the ultimate skill.)

Aside from those few adults, only 'Xiao' and 'Zeqi' successfully obtained the 'Ultimate Skill', so everyone was powerless in the face of this cruel reality!

Meanwhile, Zekion, the only one present to have obtained the 'ultimate skill', remained silent!

After all, he couldn't understand the sense of powerlessness that everyone felt; he had directly obtained the "ultimate skill" upon "awakening."

However, he doesn't show off, or rather, he doesn't think he has any right to show off.

In Zekien's view, his current strength and 'ultimate skill' are all thanks to the Emperor, Lord Rimuru, and his two masters.

He was just a beneficiary.
