"Veldanava... what is your answer tell me, it's already been a week."
I said to him as I took a seat in front of him while slowly sipping tea. There is nothing I can do if he wants to die... I have already tried everything that I can try. To be honest ‘Velz’ is only an excuse, I did not want Veldanava to die. I will never gonna tell him though.
"My answer is the same... Now go I have some work to do."
That's it I have enough!! Because of this bastard, the relationship between me and Velz was already too tense nowadays and he still want to annoy me even more. If he did not change his mind I did not have any other way but to use force.
"You two arguing again?!" but before I can open my mouth I heard Velzard's voice resonating in my ears, argh when did she come? I did not want to hear her nagging, I'm already in a bad mood. But before I can utter a single word her cold voice continued. "Satoru, not only you are arguing with me but also with my big brother... Can't you stop persuading my brother already?"
What?! What did she say?! She did not even know a thing about us and she is saying that let him die? Did she even know the topic of our argument?
"Hey! Shut your mouth and get lost!!" I told her coldly as my eyes glowed coldly at her and I unconsciously releases a little bit of my killing intent. Her body flinched as she was petrified in her place due to fear.
"Hey, stop scaring her, my answer will remain the same," Veldanava said to me pulling me out of my daze. Great so both brother and sister are going to make me angry today. Huh?! Well, I can't hurt Velzard but you are not that lucky Veldanava.
Boom.
The intense sound of the sound barrier cracking can be heard as my punch made its way toward Veldanava's face with a speed that is faster than light. I was so angry that I even forget to use magic to suppress the shockwave and sound waves.
Crash.
The punch hit Veldanava in the face and he got sent flying a few kilometers away. Seems like he still has some of his power left, he is not that weak at least for now.
"Satoru!! How dare you hit my brother?!! Just because I... I did not support you? That's it?!! You are taking my anger on my brother, the killing intent earlier...... this punch was meant for me doesn't it?!"
Hey Velz what are you talking about? That punch, he deserves it, why are you mixing two completely different things?! I was already in a bad mood please stay away.
"... Hey Velz I'm in a bad mood so stay away from me for a few days." or otherwise I may hurt you, but I wasn't able to finish my sentence because
Slap
I got a slap from Velz, huh?! A slap? But?! No, I mean... What?! Why me?!!
I have had enough of her trauma, she is going to become a hindrance for me if I want to save Veldanava... It's not like I can tell her all this so the best way to save Veldanava is.
"... Let's break up... We are fighting for a while now didn't we? No, more like you were trying to pick a fight every time you see me."
Sorry, Velz but this is the only way to save my friend, it's hard but I didn't have a way... Now, even if you saw both of us fight with each other... rather than being squeezed between a relationship lover and brother, you will have a person you can blame and hate. It may cure your sadness a little...
"Wha-What!! W-What d-did you say?!" Her voice was trembling and she was shuttering as some tears appeared in her eyes.
"N-No, ac-actually i-it's better this w-way, let's... Let's b-break u-up."
If only you love me as much as you love her big brother... If only the news of me dying will bring you less sadness than your brother dying... Maybe... Just maybe...
"Veldanava!! You heard!! We broke up!! Because I'm in a very bad mood... from now on you and I are going to fight to the death!! The winner will decide what to do with another person!! Next time we meet we will be enemies, not friends."
Sorry... But I only have this way left... Veldanava must have understood the meaning of my words. If I win he, can't die... I will make sure you will live... It doesn't whatever may I have to do.
...................
The next day in Heavenly Star Castle...
There was a battle going on between two ‘Gods’ and the whole heavenly castle was destroyed... Not even the rubble was remain... The ‘Creator God’ Veldanava is fighting against the ‘Evil God’ Ivarage.
Boom
The sound of an explosion can be heard and an unconscious Veldanava can be seen flying out of the explosion.
"Hahaha, is it the same person who best me a week ago?!" Ivargae laughed and mocked Veldanava, his body was oozing out a very dark and sinister aura as he made its way toward Veldanava.
"Let me absorb your power." With an evil grin on his face and cold eyes, he made his way toward Veldanava and started to absorb his power.
Boom!!
As he was about to finish absorbing all of Veldanava's power a terrifying powerful kick was connected with its fave sending him flying backward.
"How dare you, hurt my friend!!"
The cold voice of Rimuru makes itself known as he enters the battlefield and a powerful and domineering aura spread around the battlefield.
"Who are you!!" Ivarage shouted furiously, but all he got was another kick in his belly sending him flying even farther.
And that's how the fight between ‘Chaos Creator’ Rimuru and ‘World Destroyer’ Ivarage started.
We did not have any information on Ivarage so I'm not going to write a fighting scene. This fanfic has enough fight scenes already.
After a frightening fight, the battle finally ended, but the whole area got destroyed in the battle, rifts after rifts are opening in space, the time is unstable, and the concept of laws in the Heavenly Star Palace got abolished.
‘Waaa~ finally the battle is over.’ Rimuru thought to himself as he moved toward unconscious Veldanava to heal him.
Rimuru's whole body is aching...
No, rather than physical body, his spiritual body is hurting. He didn't even know how or why he is feeling pain, not like he wanted to know.
With great difficulty, he was able to come closer to Veldanava. In the meantime, Ciel was busy healing Rimuru, even for Ciel it is a very difficult task.
Rimuru's physical body is about to burst open, his spiritual body is not in good shape either.
‘You bastard I nearly died because of you... If it's not for saving you while fighting against him, I would have killed him a long while ago.’ While looking at him he tried to move a little closer to Veldanava, he couldn't even talk because of the pain he is experiencing after a long time... and he didn't have enough energy left to walk anymore.
Siiiii
The sound of a sword penetrating the earth was heard throughout the whole area. Rimuru's sword penetrates the space as he used his sword to balances his body.
<<Report. Starting the reconstruction of the physical body... Successful.
Notice. All the fatal wounds are healed...
All the wounds on the physical body are healed.
Notice. The healing process of the spiritual body is in progress...
The spiritual body is healed 9%... 10%...
The physical body is healed completely but the spiritual body will take some time. >>
Ciel's voice was like a blessing to Rimuru because all of his physical wounds got healed completely... But the pain from the spiritual body still did not decrease.
‘I feel a lot better.’ Rimuru thought to himself as he pull his sword from the cracked space and was about to put it into his «Imaginary Space»
"Rimuru!!" A sharp and intense sound of a girl shout entered Rimuru's ear as he flinched slightly because of the tone of the voice.
A smile appeared on Rimuru face as he turned around and his heart shattered into million pieces.
Standing behind him is Velzard.
Tears are flowing through her eyes, as an intense killing intent surrounds her body, like a raging storm.
All the bloodshed and killing intent are pointed at him.
Confused...
Rimuru was utterly confused after seeing Velzard releasing this intense killing intent.
Why the bloodlust is aimed at him?
But the confusion is soon replaced by worry and concern as he looked at Velzard's crying face.
‘How miserable’ Rimuru thought to himself.
"Don't cry..." That's the only thing that he was able to utter from his mouth. This is a miracle that he was able to even say a word...
Is this the power of love?
But the concern and anxiety were replaced by the sharp pain that he felt from the wounds on his spiritual body.
What did he do to deserve this..?
Rimuru thought to himself as Velzard's sword pierced through his body. Rimuru's eyes widened in surprise and shock.
He didn't expect Velzard to hurt him, let alone leave a fatal attack on his defenseless body.
"Argh..!!"
Rimuru cries in agony, the pain he is feeling is thousands of times more painful than the pain he felt during the «Evil God» attack.
The cold look in her eyes told me the answer to the question that I never dare ask her.
‘Haa~ truly she loved him a lot, huh? I wonder if she would have attacked him like this.
Hehe, how funny I'm dying at the hand of a woman that I loved the most...
I don't know why but I find my current situation very funny. What is my situation?
Hilarious or miserable
I don't know anymore. I didn't want to know. So this is what death felt like I had nearly forgotten this.
This heartache...
This pain and suffering...
So that's how it felt when the person you love the most betrayed you...
Betrayed...? Did she betray me...
Why...?
Did she not love me anymore...
Ah... I see. I think she got bored of me...
Haha. This is her old habit, she gets easily bored with new ‘things’ and throws them away.
So in the end I'm nothing more than a thing to you...
But why is my heart still throbbing while seeing your face?
Is this what they called one-sided blind love...
Truly love is blind.
Ah... In the end, Veldanava was right
« Only fools fall in love. »
I'm really a fool. To fall in love with her.’
The pain that Rimuru felt from his wounds was nothing compared to the pain that he is feeling because of his shattered heart.
‘Argh..! This pain is killing me’
With the remaining last bit of strength Ciel without any constant from her master, Rimuru teleported him into his «Imaginary Space»
This is the first time that she did something without asking Rimuru but strangely enough, she didn't feel any guilt.
She disobeys her master but didn't feel anything. Truly emotions are much more troublesome than they look.
<<Master...>>
Ciel's worried voice resounded in Rimuru's mind but nobody was there to give her a reply.
<<Confirmed. Analyzing the body... Successful
Inspecting the wounds... Successful.
Starting the healing process... Successful
Health status. Spiritual body – 3.14%

Rimuru's spiritual body condition was very grim to the point that only π % of health was left.

After failing for what seemed like an eternity Ciel finally was able to approximate time and the final result was.
<<...612 years.>>
