And so to began the planning against the Falmuth army, the main plan was to use the army to harvest their souls for Rimuru's awakening into Demon lord.
"Are you gonna help out this time or are you gonna sit on your ass like a bum." Rimuru asked in annoyance.
"I'm most likely gonna sit on my bum." I said to Rimuru which I quickly explained why, "Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind taking out trash such as Falmuth but unfortunately it has to be you and your soldiers."
Rimuru was confused by my answer, "You know I feel like you have an actual reason behind why you want to stay out of it. Would you mind explaining to me?"
Simon: "It's simple, the souls that are transferred to you can be transferred through the soul corridor meaning that everyone that you've named will transfer the souls to you."
Rimuru: " Meaning that if you, Kevin or Yuura fight then the souls won't go to me and impede my awakening."
Simon: " Exactly, although… I do have an abundance of souls stored up, thousands of times more than the amount you need and I could simply give them to you if you want?"
Rimuru was frightened by the implications and means behind how I acquired those souls, "No need, if anything, you would be disappointed if we just accepted your offering so readily."
And Rimuru's guess was confirmed when I revealed a bright proud smile, " Splendid, then I'll leave it to you Rimuru."

" Master, are you not gonna come back with us back to Eden? I thought you're gonna leave with us?" Yuura was confused by my staying here.
" I have something else I want to do before I return." I said to Yuura before her and Kevin returned. They could have stayed and watched but that seemed a bit insulting and demented so I decided to send them back.
As they went back through the gray fog and returned to Eden, my whimsical maddening thoughts returned, 'Lets see whether I can truly save… and then torture some morally obscured otherworlders.'

"Mjurran, I've made my judgement and I've decided… I'm gonna kill you." Rimuru said sternly and with authority.
Youm: "What, no you can't do that! Master!"
The wolf man Grucias lunged at Rimuru only to be stopped by Benimaru, " Youm, take Mjurran and run away!"
Youm: " ok I'll-"
Before Youm could do anything, Mjurran kissed him and said her goodbyes preparing for the ultimate judgement.
She stepped forward and awaited the punishment that she would undergo. Youm tried to rush to her rescue but found that he and Grucias had been frozen in place under some invisible pressure.
Rimuru coated his hand in Gluttony and plunged his hand into Mjurran's heart. Youm closed his eyes until he heard Mjurran's voice, "What happened, how am I not dead?"
" Don't get me wrong, you were legit dead for five seconds but what I actually did was replace the marionette heart with a new one. This one was made specially made for you by a certain god." Rimuru said.
"Wow, Wouldn't evens call me by name. Going against my wish? Is Rimuru so angry with me?" I said, feigning heartbreak at Rimuru not wanting to say his name.
Everyone turned their heads to find my figure sitting there adjacent to them, "When the hell did you get here?!" Rimuru was so flabbergasted by how I can just appear, completely undetected, although it's not something he was unfamiliar with.
"Who the hell is this!" Grucias shouted at me which made Rimuru and Benimaru hit their foreheads and Youm go pale.
Mjurran read the room and immediately surmised that this was someone with extremely high status and power but Grucias was still in high alert after Mjurran just died… and frankly, he is kinda an idiot, "Tell us who you are or else I will rip you apart!"
"Um Grucias, that's… uh." Youm was trembling and unable to figure out how to tell Grucias who he was shouting at.
Grucias was still on edge but saw the fearful complexion of his new friend and eased himself a little, "Youm, do you know this person?!"
"I guess I should ease your poor heart alittle." I stepped forward and bowed in a theatrical fashion, "I am Pneuma, the god of chaos."
"Haha, do you think I'm stupid or something?!" Grucias looked around the room and everyone nodded to him awkwardly, "…Surely not?"
Then Grucias looked back to my smiling face and he suddenly slumped to his knees. He slowly crawled towards Youm and put his hand on Youms shoulder with a resigned face, " Youm, you were an incredible friend and I'm so glad to have met you."
"Oh, calm down you drama queen. I mean, do I really have the reputation of a merciless killer that acts at the slightest provocation?" I asked to the room with helplessness.
Rimuru just ignored all the emotional turmoil in the room and addressed and issue he had noticed when Mjurran had gained the heart, "Tell me this Simon, why is it that Mjurran is overflowing with a rampaging amount of magicules?"
"Oh that. Well when you asked me to make an authentic heart, I got bored and added a couple gimmicks. One of the Gimmicks is that it multiplys a persons magicule amount by one thousand three hundred percent." The room went silent and everyone looked at me like I was a monster.
"Why couldn't you have made something normal?" Rimuru sounded exasperated and exhausted.
" Jeez, normal is so boring, why would I do that? I'd rather make it more complex then normal." I said with a small tantrum.
Grucias then came closer and bowed, " Thank you for saving Mjurran!"
" No need to thank me." I tapped the center of his forehead which enveloped him in light and transformed him back to his humanoid form, " Well, I know when I'm welcome or not. Toodles!"
And with that, my body faded into thin air and the room was left in silence. Some were in awe, some were in shock and some were exasperated.
