This explanation page will be providing with basic cosmology explanation on the Light Novel
continuity of the Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken, or TenSura for short.
Introduction
This page will be providing with basic cosmology explanation on the verse, Tensei Shitara
Slime No Datta Ken, or TenSura for short.
Tensei Shitara Slime No Datta Ken is an Isekai-Fantacy based novel that follows our main
Protagonist, Rimuru Tempest, who was initially a regular human until he got stabbed to
death in a street accident, and in accordance to his wishes during his last moments of death,
he was reincarnated into the Cardinal World as a Slime.
The story follows the journey about Rimuru Tempest evolving from a mere slime, the
weakest of all monsters there are, to one of the strongest beings in the World.
World
World 「世界, sekai」, one of the most basic constructs in the Cosmology, the word itself is
mostly used to describe the same term, but sometimes, can also be seen being used
interchangeably with "Dimensions" and/or "Timelines/Cycles".
A World is a Self-Enclosed Space-Time, there are no "Parallel Worlds", but there are "Other
Worlds" that reside in Alternate Dimensions, they run on completely different Laws, and their
amount of these Worlds, as well as their Sheer Diversity, was beyond the Imagination of
even a True Dragon like Velgrynd[1]. Worlds are also vaster then Universes[2].
TenSura follows the theory of Many-World Interpretation that there exists Parallel Universes
for each plane of Existence[3]/World[4], they are also called "Timelines"[5] or "Cycles", and
there are Infinite of them[6]. In fact, Chloe had already gone through an Infinite Cycles, yet
the current Timeline is separated from that. But the World does not allow multiple
overlapping identities to overlap under the same time axis and time zone to prevent
Contradictions from happening[6], with each Timeline[7] having its own Time Dimension[6] and
Space-Time Continuum[8].
There are also some additional points to note here:
● Travelling to the "Past" of the World itself allows one to travel to any of its Timelines[9].
● When Feldway destroyed the Cardinal Universe, it stated that the Timeline was
over/destroyed[10], yet the World was not destroyed.
● From the previous point, Feldway had sent Rimuru to "Beyond Space and Time"[10],
where the Timeline had ended[10], in other words, the Space-Time Continuum would
had been destroyed. Yet despite that, Time Still passed even though Rimuru was
already at a point Beyond Time, and they reached the End of Space and Time[10], this
time, the "End of this World", in other words, the Cardinal World, where Time really
turned 0[10].
● Backing the previous point again, Ciel had been waiting for Rimuru for an eternity[10]
even after they were send to Beyond Space and Time, after which 0 time should
have passed, yet, as explained above, Time somehow still passed and they reached
the End of Time, the End of the World.
● To bring even more proof, Ciel stated that Chloe would not have been able to Travel
in Time with her ability[10], because the World had ended, so Time itself did not
exist[10], therefore, there was no Time in which they could travel to go back to the past
to begin with[10]. This was stated despite the fact that Chloe had travelled from
Timeline to Timeline with her Time Travel skill[11], an ability similar to Velgrynd's case
where she Travelled to the Timelines by travelling in the Time of the World itself.[12]
This would also mean that the Destruction of a "World" would include the destruction
of all of its temporally held Timelines.
To summarize the above points, basically, there is a Distinction between Timelines and
Worlds, a "World" is simply a Higher Time Dimension that overarches and Self-Encloses the
Timelines.
Additionally, as stated above that each Cycle has its own Time Axis and Space-Time
Continuum, each of its Time Axis is also distinct from one another as each Cycle has its own
distinct set of events, as explained below :
● In one Timeline, Rimuru was killed by the Eastern Empire[3].
● In another Cycle, he never met Hinata, instead coming back to Tempest from
Ingracia via Spatial Motion, beating up the otherworlders himself before they could
cause chaos[3].
● In another Cycle, someone that Rimuru introduced as a friend this time was an
enemy in that Cycle[3].
● In this cycle, it was explicitly stated that the direction of Time this time was different
then previously[3], that is, the direction of Time Axis of the current Timeline is different
then the ones prior.
Thus, there are a 2-A amount of Timelines. However, there is one thing to add. First off, let
us understand what Orthogonality is.
“ Mathematically, and in simple terms, Orthogonality is the property of 2 lines that
are perfectly perpendicular to each other, in other words, they intersect each
other at Right Angle. In this way, while normally, a line can be drawn on a 1-D
plane or be contained in it, two orthogonal lines must require a 2-Dimensional
plane to draw. For example, you cannot draw a right-angle figure in the
one-dimensional plane, you need a 2-D plane (i.e. a paper) to do so. Similarly,
one cannot draw a 3rd line perpendicular to both of the previous lines
simultaneously on that piece of paper, and would instead require one to draw a
line perpendicular to the 2-D plane itself, extending to 3-D Space. This process
can go on infinitely, and each time, you would need to extend the additional
Orthogonal line perpendicular to the previous N-Dimensional plane, thus requiring
N+1 Dimensional Space. „
However, despite this, it is not a must that one must necessarily need a Perpendicular Time
Dimension to require a Higher-Dimensional Hyperspace (or Hyper-Temporal Plane) for those
Time Dimensions to extend to.
“ Even if not orthogonal, additional Non-Parallel Time Dimensions can still qualify
for additional higher Dimensions, which would be needed for those time axes to
extend to.
Basically, this is because you can draw as many "Lines" on top of each other in a
1-Dimensional Plane, and all those lines would still be in the same direction, even
Anti-Parallel Lines would essentially be extending in the same direction, only
difference being, simply in reversed flow. Therefore, they can still be represented
in a 1-D plane. This is also why in cases where there's a Multiversal construct
containing many Space-Time Continuums, by default, we assume that the Time
Dimension of each of those Space-Times extends in the same direction, and
therefore would not qualify for an additional Higher Dimension, as there's no need
for such a higher Dimension to exist for those individual temporal Dimensions to
extend to.
However, what if you draw 2 lines that are non-Parallel or "completely"
overlapping? This results in you requiring a 2-Dimensional Plane to contain or
draw those lines, because those lines, even if intersecting, must have some
"Space" between them, if they are not parallel or completely overlapping. Even if
one of the lines is parallel or overlapping with the X-Axis (and thus having its
Y-coordinates as 0), the second line, which is not parallel or overlapping to it,
must have "some" Y-Coordinates. Resultantly, 2 such lines would always require
a 2-Directional plane to represent. A graphical representation would preferably
explain better, I suppose.
However, this would not extend to the need of additional Higher Dimensions for
each additional Time Axis, because while two lines having different directions
need a 2-D plane to be presented, infinite such lines can also be held within the
same 2-D plane. We know that Time by nature is Orthogonal to Space, therefore,
a Multiverse fulfilling this case must be at least 5-D, the 3-D Space of such a
Multiverse would hold the Spatial Aspects of all the Space-Time Continuums it
holds, whereas the latter 2-D Plane will hold all the Time Axes of those
Space-Times extending in their respective direction. Resultantly, the totality of the
Hyperspace would be 5-D, instead of just 4D. Additionally, in case the
Hyperspace also has an overarching Time Dimension, then the Hyper
Space-Time Continuum would, in this case, be 6-D on total.
„
Thus, from the explanation above, we can conclude that while the amount of Timelines in
this case is only 2-A, in other words, Countably Infinite, but because each Timeline has its
own Direction of Time and its own set of Events, as well as Un-Synchrony between them,
they would need a 5D Space to represent. Meanwhile, as a World has its own Higher Time
Dimension, it in totality would be 6D, that is, 1-C.
However, lets add more to this:
While we know Hinata stated that Timelines are being Remade, and also stated later on that
her theory was correct, we also have to note that it a mere Appeal To Emotions because
"Hinata could not accept such a way of thinking"[6]. Additionally, this part was completely
negated by the fact that during Velgrynd's own travel, it was stated that "Parallel Worlds do
not Overlap, so no two same Identities can exist under the same Timeline/Time Axis.
Additionally, the fact that Velgrynd couldn't travel in the past of the same Timeline was
because the past version of Velgrynd already existed in that past point in Time of that same
Timeline[13], yet could still travel to different Timelines[13], proves the fact that Hinata believing
"Multiple versions of Chloe existing in different Parallel Worlds" not true due to it being
apparently outrageous to her utterly False and a mere Emotional Belief.
Additionally, the fact that "Parallel Worlds" do exist, proves that Hinata's Initial Theory about
the World not being remade but rather "Branching Continuously/Constantly"[14] was half true,
because while two Chloe(s) cannot meet each other at the same time, Parallel Worlds do
still exist, and said theory was an "Advanced Multiverse Theory"[14], the Kanji being "多元宇
宙論" which also translates to "Pluralistic Cosmology" or also "Many-Universe Theory",
which (the Kanji) when searched on Google leads to this page on the 4 Multiversal
Theories[14], making it clear that the "Many-Universe Theory" here is referring to Hugh
Everett's Interpretation, or what we commonly call MWI. This is even further backed up by
the fact that Fuse (The Author) directly referenced Steins; Gate in the Web Novel version,
even going so far as to stating terms like "World-Line Volatility" in his Author Note[15], making
it clear that he implemented some aspects of Steins; Gate in the Slime Cosmology, where
Steins; Gate also follows the Many-Universe Theory by Hugh Everett.
Now, the main thing regarding MWI is that it's stated to be a part of an Infinite-Dimensional
Hilbert Space, but said "Space" is an Abstract Space and the only Physical thing is the
Quantum Wavefunction. So, we need to prove that said Space is Physical in order to prove
that it actually exists and can be used to give a 1-B+ rating. For this, we have to go forward
to where Rimuru was transferred to Beyond Space-Time via Feldway's Chronos Saltation.
This was, to be specific, the end of the Cardinal World's current Timeline that Rimuru was
in[10], so to say, Rimuru was essentially sent outside that Timeline, yet Ciel stated that "we
floated in Empty Space and I witnessed the End of this World"[10]. This basically proves that
said "Space" does exist in TenSura, and in the Physical Sense at that.
Conclusion:
● Each World contains a set of Parallel Universes, that is, Timelines, and there is an
Infinite amount of them, branching continuously/at every instant as in the
Many-Universe Theory, making all the Timelines collectively Low 1-C.
● These Timelines are Individually Universal+.
● The "Empty Space" that is the inside of a World containing the Timelines is 1-B+.
● A World itself is essentially an Overarching Hypertimeline, making it High 1-B.
Different Worlds
There is an extremely large amount of Worlds, and a large diversity of them, with each World
working on completely different Laws then the other[16]. There are Worlds filled with a Wealth
of Civilizations[16], and Worlds that are just complete empty spaces[16]. If a World does
happen to contain life, they are all at different levels of Civilization[16], with one of them even
having a Galactic Empire[16].
There is no Causality between Worlds[16], in other words, they are unbounded by the Rules
of Karma[16], which means each World is Acausal to the other. Each World has its Time Axis,
as implied that the Time Axes 「plural」 of different Worlds are Un-Synchronized[10].
Additionally, each World has its own Time Flow[17], and there is no connection between the
Flow of Time in different Worlds[18].
Timeless Void
There exists a Strange Space/Faraway Space between unknown Worlds, separating them
from one another. However, this is not really a Space per say. You see, Space and Time are
co-related in Slime[10], thus, Space cannot exist without Time and Vice Versa, yet the Strange
Space is a Timeless Void, which means it would also be Space-less.
Thus, the Worlds inside a Dimension are separated by a Space-less and Timeless Void.
Note that, one might say, if it really is a Time-less and Space-less Void separating Worlds,
then how can Spiritual lifeforms travel between different Worlds, and how could Velgrynd do
it as well?
Answer 1: Its clearly stated that Cross-World travel is a "One-Way Street", where once you
go to a Higher World, such as a Spiritual World, your entire Body is reconstructed by The
System to be the same nature as that higher World. On the other hand, Velgrynd's ability is
stated to be a "Clear Exception to this Law of Nature", meaning its not the Ontological
Relation between Physical and Spiritual Worlds being an exception in Slime and not being
the same as it is supposed to be, instead, the "Exception" is Velgrynd herself and her ability.
Additionally, even then, it'd be impossible for a more real "Velgrynd" to be able to enter a
less real "Physical World", right? Well, that's true. And that's why she goes to that world
while being in a purely Physical Body, made of the surrounding matter, that itself is purely
Physical, as the "surrounding" matter of a purely Physical World can only be Physical
itself[22][20][23][24].
Answer 2: There is a common ability in Slime called Spatial Transfer, which allows
movement across Dimensions, but even it, is a Teleportation ability. Additionally, the context
of Spiritual lifeforms travelling to different Worlds is in context to Guy going to the Cardinal
World, however, that is via any of the 2 means:
● They manifest in the other World, most of the times a Physical World, as an Avatar.
● They go through a Gate directly, said gate is a Space-Time rift that connects different
Space-Times. However, this case is only possible if their Existence Value is small
enough to go through the Gate, and even then, they only do it via making a Clone
Body, their Real Body remains in their original World.
Thus, in no case is Travel between different Worlds an Anti-Feat. Now, to add further to this,
we know that this "Strange Space" or Void exists between all Worlds in a Dimension. That is
to say, it would separate Physical and Spiritual Worlds as well, and that at the same time. So
to say, "Worlds" exist in this Void just like how Space-Times existing in a common
Hyper-Space, except in this case, its a Space-less and Time-less Void rather then a
"Hyperspace".
This means that said "Void" lacks the Distinction between Spirituality and Physicality, or,
Reality and Fiction, allowing it to contain different Reality levels within the same Void (not
Space, so not an Anti-Feat), thus making it High 1-A by these definitions, where the "Void"
essentially plays the role of a Monad, except that its not a character and rather a Structure.
Dimensions
Dimensions are container of Self-Enclosed Worlds. Well, to be exact, the actual Container is
the Space-less and Time-less Void. a Dimension in essence is just 2 more things over that
Void:
● A Dimensional Wall, preventing Cross-Dimensional Travel[10].
● A Time Axis overarching whatever the Dimension contains[10], with each Dimension
having a unique and different one[10].
However, before you say that the latter is an Anti-Feat, well, its not. The Time Axis would
simply be a Time Dimension overarching the Higher Reality, aka the Space-less and
Time-less Void. Thus, a Dimension itself would be High 1-A.
Cardinal World
The Central World 「基軸世界, kijiku sekai, lit. "Central Axis World"」 , also called the Cardinal
World or Base World, is the world in which the series primarily takes place. It houses at least
1.3 Billion sentient lifeforms. The original world out of the many worlds created by
Veldanava. It's a Chaos world that has the mixed properties of both a Material World and a
Spiritual Realm.
Because its a "Chaos World", the nature of beings inside this World are Semi-Physical,
having both Physical and Spiritual Aspects; those that travel to this World also have their
entire form reconstructed into Semi-Physical form[22][20][23][24]. It also exists outside the Duality
of "Physical-ness" (Non 1-A) and "Spiritual-ness" (1-A) as a result[20]. Even more so, it cannot
even be destroyed by beings who had destroyed entire Dimensions, such as Zalario.
Cardinal World was also created by Veldanava's "Special Power"[31], that is, Turn Null
itself[32].
Thus, upscaling from Dimensions and upscaling in Existence Level itself, it scales to High
1-A (Quantitatively above Baseline).
Species
Summary
Spiritual Lifeforms are characters in Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken, they are almost god-like
existences that need only their mind to remain alive. They're a step above Demi-Spiritual
Lifeforms and have transcended the body entirely, making them effectively immortal they are
also known as Energy Creatures「精神生命体エネルギークリーチャー Enerugī Kurīchā?」and
are beings of pure willpower and energy.
Abilities
● Immortality:
● Types 1 (Spiritual Lifeforms have no life span[1])
● Types 2 & 3 (Spiritual Lifeforms can regenerate any damage done to them,
including their physical bodies as they do not need them either[1][2])
● Type 4 (Spiritual Lifeforms will be revived elsewhere if they die[3])
● Type 5 (Spiritual Lifeforms experienced no natural death, were immune to all
kinds of status ailments, could overcome death itself through sheer power of
will[1])
● Types 6 & 7 (Even if Spiritual Lifeforms are killed,[4] Spiritual Lifeforms can still
survive by existing as a spirit or possessing someone[5])
● Type 8 (Spiritual Lifeforms will never die, even if their alter ego is killed, as
long as the main body of them isn't killed;[6] they can regenerate/resurrect as
long as the core is not destroyed or they run out of magicules[1][7])
● Non-Combat Applicable Type 9 (Extradimensional [5-D]; Spiritual Lifeforms
can manifest from otherworlds with their split bodies connected to their main
body through the soul corridor using gates that compatible their EP value[6])
● Avatar Creation (A Spiritual Lifeform's form in the Material World[8] is merely an
imperfect manifestation of themselves allowing them to impact the Physical World,[9]
made as a proxy to interact with the world,[10] although non-physical as their bodies
are made out of magicules,[11] which is an[9] object representing their[12] conceptual
self,[13] and they can abandon their body[10] any time and return to their true spiritual
selves,[12] that reside in Spiritual Worlds[8])
● Supernatural Willpower (Spiritual Lifeforms willpower is comparable to Ultimate Skill
users,[14] who have a much higher level of willpower[15] than Unique Skill users who
can gain new skills due to their desires[16])
● Invisibility (Spiritual Lifeforms or non-human lifeform are invisible to the human eye[9])
● Astral Projection (Spiritual Lifeforms can abandon their physical body and they exist
as elemental souls,[10] which is special to only the Spirit Realm[17])
● Possession (Spiritual Lifeforms can take over peoples body[18])
● Abstract Existence (Type 1) :
● Law & Concept (Type 1; Great Spirits are the attributes[10] that preceded
existence itself;[19] the laws that governed the principles[10] of the World.
Elemental Spirits are split off from the Great Spirit representing each
attribute,[7] they are Spiritual Lifeforms that embody the laws that governing
the world.[10] For instance, Demons embody the darkness attribute[19] as they
are born from it;[7] True Dragons are also part of the attributes as they are
bound by the attribute assigned to them, even though True Dragons are the
highest form of Elemental Souls, the latter being something higher than even
Elemental Spirits.[10] Additionally Spiritual Lifeforms can exist as their
conceptual selves,[13] they can retain their form at the end of space and time
and are thus unaffected by it,[20] a point in the far distant future where the
universe itself[21] has come to an end,[22] the End of the World itself[22], leaving
only complete nothingness, not even laws or concepts exists there[21])
● Information (Type 2; Spiritual Lifeforms can abandoned their physical bodies
and exist only as pure souls;[10] Information particle and information are the
fundamental aspect of Tensura and all things such as Mind, Soul, and
Abstract things like Skills are made up of it;[23][24][25] Information particles in
Tensura also serves as the root of the world[26])
● Passive Conceptual Manipulation (Type 1; The power and existence of spirits are
rooted back to the core which is the fundamentals of the world that govern every
aspect of reality, interaction with their purest form can cause one to alter the laws of
the world such as magic rooted from spirits of fire can cause one to burn oxygen and
produce carbon dioxide[27] and the law of each of its conflicting relationships which
brings order to the world[10])
● Dimensional Travel (Extradimensional [5-D]; Spiritual Lifeforms can travel through
worlds[19])
● Invulnerability and Power Nullification (Spiritual Lifeforms are unaffected by physical,
mental, and natural attacks including holy and demonic attacks[28])
● Incorporeality (Spiritual Lifeforms have abandoned their physical bodies[10])
● Self-Sustenance (All Types; Spiritual Lifeforms have cease the need to breathe[29]
and doesn't need to sleep or eat[10])
● Regeneration (Low-Godly) & Resurrection (Mid-Godly, Overtime; Spiritual Lifeforms
can regenerate from destruction of physical body[1] as long as their energy is not
depleted and their nucleic heart exists;[1] however, even if their energy is depleted,
they will die but will be revived elsewhere;[30] energy is what makes up the soul, that
which is crystallized energy given form; a core defines their fundamental information
self in reality, their skills, as well as their conceptual self, if someone manage to
destroy the core, it is true death for Spiritual Lifeforms as they cannot regenerate or
resurrect anymore)
● Elemental Manipulation (Spiritual Lifeforms have their various Natural Attributes[10])
● Intangibility (Spiritual Lifeforms phase through people bodies and matter itself[31] as
they are made up of magicule energy[11])
● Non-Physical Interaction (Law & Concept [Type 1] and Information [Type 2]; Spiritual
Lifeforms can harm other Spiritual Lifeforms who have no physical bodies)
● Accelerated Development (Battle & Training; All beings can overcome their maximum
magicules or magic capacity and become stronger by fighting stronger individuals,[32]
overcoming great obstacles,[32] or strengthening their will[33])
● Reactive Evolution, Supernatural Willpower & Empowerment (Willpower is
everything;[33] sometimes, intense emotions and will can converge to create new skills
and resistances. Those with Unique Skills are beings with strong willpower who have
developed a skill unique to them[34] due to their desires.[35] Those with strong will can
strengthen the power of their attacks into realms beyond their limit and sometimes
reach[33] the Ultimate level.[36] However, gaining a new skill depends on the
individual's soul power, intense emotion, and desires to face adverse situations)
Resistances
Resistance to:
● Curse Manipulation, Pain Manipulation & Poison Manipulation (Curse Poison can be
resisted depending on the life force of the person which every skill users and Spiritual
Lifeforms should have[37])
● Biological Manipulation, Soul Manipulation, Quantum Manipulation, Transmutation &
Information Manipulation (Type 2; Spiritual Lifeforms can resist Death Streak,[38]
Death Streak alters genes causing death and can even destroy souls[39] and
penetrate information particles[39])
● Mind Manipulation, Holy Manipulation & Unholy Manipulation (Spiritual Lifeforms
resist mind attacks and Holy-Demonic attacks[28])
● Status Effect Inducement (Spiritual Lifeforms are unaffected by status ailments[1] or
abnormalities[1])
Unconventional Resistance to:
● Memory Manipulation (Spiritual Lifeforms memories are stored in their soul[1])
● Curse Manipulation & Mind Manipulation (Spiritual Lifeforms can think with their
souls' and neutralize the effects of Dominate Curse, so no mind-take over curses
would ever work on them[40])
Weaknesses
Spiritual Lifeforms can't maintain their form in a Physical World, which would force them to
create physical bodies from themselves or possess people and if their core, which is their
nucleus heart and conceptual self, is destroyed, they die permanently.
Higher ranked demons are also spiritual lifeforms but lower ranked demons are not.
Digital Lifeform Physiology
Summary
Digital Lifeforms in Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken, are Spiritual Lifeforms that transformed
their material body into Information Particles and they can purely exist in information form.
Powers
Introduction
Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken has two main sources of power, Magic and Skills. Both are
divided into different levels, and different types. On one hand, magic has common abilities
that are shared by all individuals that can use that type of magic, meanwhile Skills are, at
least on the higher levels, unique to the user, but even they have some common abilities.
This page will be explaining the various general abilities of different levels and types of
Magic and Skills.
Magic
Summary
Magic 「魔法, mahō」 is the embodiment of an "idea" that produces some effect in accordance
with a specified law. As an example, a magic releases images that "take away heat" or "burn
things", in the form of energy, and as an ancillary effect, physical phenomena such as ice
and fireballs are generated. Since the physical phenomena are not the main focus and the
main subject is the embodied image, the effect is extended to Spiritual Lifeforms.
Abilities
● Magic, Subjective Reality, Law Manipulation, and Conceptual Manipulation (Type 1;
5-D; Magic is an idea projected into Reality and used to turn imagination into Reality
and influence the laws of the world.[1][2][3][4][5] Magic abides by the World Language that
turns nonphysical phenomena into real life[6] in the same way magic could rewrite the
laws of the world. The Great Spirits are the Attributes, the laws governing the
principle of the world[7] and a natural phenomenon in its purest, most original form.[8]
The concept of magic also applies to Spiritual Lifeforms who are also magic
themselves[9] . Using magicules would have been futile at the end of space and time
where the universe had ceased to exist leaving only complete nothingness, no laws,
no concept, nothing, however Vega who was a Spiritual Lifeform could still release
his energy despite the circumstances[10])
● Non-Physical Interaction (Abstractions [Type 1: Law & Concept {Type 1} and
Information {Type 2}] & Intangibility; Magic can work on a conceptual level[11] and it
could interact[12] and damage[13] Spiritual Lifeforms who have no physical body)
Resistance
● Magic, Subjective Reality, Law Manipulation, and Conceptual Manipulation (Type 1;
5-D; Higher-level magic-born have intrinsic resistance to magic.[14] The same can be
said to magicians who have high magical resistance[15])
Types
Holy Magic
Summary
Holy Magic 「神聖魔法, shinsei mahō」 is, in essence, magic that manipulates Holy Power
and purifies magicules via The Power of Faith 「信仰の力, shinkō no chikara」 of the user and
sometimes God's Miracle 「神の奇跡, kami no kiseki」. It can be considered a type of spirit
magic that requires making a pact with a spirit that is their god. Holy Magic can be applied to
a wide variety of effects including dispelling curses, curing illness, and healing wounds.
Although its number of offensive spells is low, they're highly effective against almost all
monsters, especially undead. Further beyond this, if one's faith is high enough, one can tap
into God's Miracle, which allows for the utilization of Spiritons, the basic building blocks of all
spiritual matter, to perform advanced and powerful spells on par with Ultimate Skills.
Basic Level
Abilities
● Holy Manipulation, Statistics Reduction and Purification (Type 2 and 3; Holy Field can
be used to purify magicules, weaken monsters and kill any monster who didn't merit
a C rank.[16] Purifying magicules would also neutralize any status effects that are not
Holy.[17][18] Holy Field prevents monsters from taking any action and it could also
weaken their physical and spiritual body.[16] Furthermore, Holy Magic could also purify
the undead.[19] At the same time, it could also release them from Curse Magic as
demonstrated by Shuna when she uses holy magic on the wight king, Adalman[19])
● Holy Manipulation, Energy Restoration and Healing (High-Low) (via Healing which is
a magic that restores the target's stamina[20] and lost blood, at the same time healing
other people from sickness[21] and via Recovery which is magic that helps to close
wounds and reattached severed limbs.[22]Healing Potion which is just the same as
healing magic also works on plants and vegetation that have its will of their own[23])
● Holy Manipulation, Conceptual Manipulation (Type 1)(2 Layer), Law Manipulation (2
Layers), Subjective Reality (2 Layers) and Power Nullification (1 Layer) (5-D; Holy
Field can prevent any possible impact on the laws of nature and it runs the same
principle as Anti-Magic Area which also rewrites the laws of the world..[24][25] Anti
Magic Area could prevent the usage of magic, and it can be resisted by a
Multi-Layered Barrier however, Holy Field can affect Rimuru, who had a
Multi-Layered Barrier far before he had met Hinata)
Divine Miracle
Abilities
Disintegration
● Holy Manipulation, Quantum Manipulation, Existence Erasure, Power Destruction (1
layer), Space-Time Manipulation, Durability Negation, Conceptual Destruction (Type
1) and Information Manipulation (Type 2) (Via Disintegration; which erases all
Physical and Spiritual traces embodying one's existence, to the point that it leaves
nothing behind, not even the Soul,[26][27][28][29] reaching and destroying even the
Information Particles in their Nucleic Heart,[30] erasing one's core itself including
skills[31][32][33][34] engraved in souls or cores as information.[35][36][24] Skill users resist any
outside interference, like if someone attempts to erase, steal, absorb or separate
skills it would not work unless the interference is stronger than the soul's defenses.
However, Disintegration magic like Melt Slash erased Beelzebub which is an Ultimate
Skill even though Skill users resist them and it works on Spirit Particles that ignore
Space and Time,[37][38][39][40] and they can penetrate one's Core made of Information
Particles.[41]A core or heart is defined as the fundamental information, skills, and
conceptual self of an individual)
Regeneration
● Holy Manipulation, Physical Restoration, Matter Manipulation and Healing (Mid) (Full
Potions can regenerate lost limbs which was said to be equivalent level of
Regeneration which is a miracle class magic.[42][1] They were also able to restore
body parts which were all dismembered[42][43] and it works on broken items such as a
broken sword, however, there is a condition for it to work like, the item must be made
of magisteel and used regularly by the owner. Furthermore, Healing Potion which is
the same as healing magic also works on plants and vegetation that have its will of
their own[23])
Resurrection
● Holy Manipulation, Healing and Resurrection (can resurrect the dead.[24][17] Holy
Magic users with this divine miracle magic can resurrect the target only if their souls
and material body are still present.[44] Any Recovery Potions and magic could not
heal Hinata because of her holy magic that dissembles magicules,[17][45] but
Resurrection could instantly heal Hinata who had almost died[17])
Holy Ark
● Holy Manipulation and Sealing (Used by Ruminas to seal away[44] Chronoa. The
coffin is created out of Holy Spirit Power[35] that isolates any soul within,[35] allowing
two versions of the same being to exist during the same point in time.[35] It's matter
composed of pure Spiritrons[44] and filled with so much Holy Power that even a True
Demon Lord will find themselves severely burned to the touch[44])
Elemental Magic
Summary
Elemental Magic 「元素魔法, genso mahō」 or Aspectual Magic is magic cast directly using
magicules. It operates by controlling the surrounding magicules or the user's own reserves to
bend the laws of nature, using the caster's magical power and imagery as a medium. The
created phenomena is unaffected by other physical factors — for example, magical flames
conjured using elemental magic cannot be extinguished by ordinary water. However, it can
be disrupted or disabled by spells and properties affecting magicules, like Magic Jamming or
Holy Field.
Elemental Magic works on Laws completely different than the natural Laws of the World
including the Laws of Physics as well as the Law of Causality as it completely skips the
process involved in Natural Phenomenon; In other words, something governed by the
Natural Laws such as the power of Spirits , cannot effect Magic at all, a Flame started by
Elemental Magic cannot be extinguished by normal water, nor does it go through the same
process of Combustion as set by Chemical and Physical Laws.
Abilities
Analysis Magic
● Information Analysis (The ability to analyze information[46] is also a very useful ability
for anyone to have especially when they fight tougher opponents such as trying to
observe health bars,[47] analyze opponent magic,[48]analyze someone identity,[49]
check for poison[50] and so on)
Barrier Magic
● Law Manipulation (1 Layer), Conceptual Manipulation (Type 1) (1 Layer), Subjective
Reality (2 Layers) and Power Nullification (5-D; Anti-Magic Area rewrites the laws of
the world to create a barrier that prevents the usage of magic,[51] it is a Great Magic
that can even affect magicians and high-level magic born such as Demons)
Compound Magic
● Explosion Manipulation and Fusionism (can create explosions by fusing magic.[52]
People like Shizue could combine Fire Magic and Explosive Magic which result in a
Flaming Explosion Magic[53])
Creation Magic
● Creation (Creation Magic allows one to create golems made from magi-steel and the
strength of it is dependent on the strength of its material; furthermore, they also serve
as a material body for every spiritual beings like Elemental Spirits and Demons[54])
Skills
Summary
Skills 「能力スキル, sukiru, lit. "Ability"」 are a type of ability that, on rare occasions, can be
acquired in recognition of some form of personal growth. Skills are a type of Special
Phenomena Activation System 「特殊現象発動システム, tokushu genshō hatsudō shisutemu」
that automatically perform inscribed supernatural effects known as Powers 「権能, ken'nō, lit.
“Authority”」. The nature of the power varies from skill to skill, some belonging to Magic,
some manipulating the world through purely natural means, while the most powerful among
them are capable of bending the laws of the world to suit the user’s will. Skills are
engraved[72] into one's Soul or stored in the body, sometimes since birth, or in other times,
are manifested in the presence of strong desires. As skills reflect the user's will, no two skills
are ever identical.[73] Skills are, in their core, ways to manipulate[74] the Laws of the World
according to their user's wishes and desire, simply by wishing.
Abilities
● Law Manipulation, Subjective Reality and Conceptual Manipulation (Type 1; 5-D;
Skills are part of the natural laws of the world[75] etched into one's Soul,[76] they are
also the the manifestation of one's desires[77] and the embodiment of one's mind.[78]
Skills are also systemized power[79] that manipulate the laws of the World simply by
wishing so and affect the very[80] root of the world, The Great Spirits are the attributes,
the laws governing the principle of the world[81] and a natural phenomenon in its
purest, most original form[82])
● Reactive Evolution, Supernatural Willpower, and Empowerment (Willpower is
everything;[83] sometimes, intense emotions and will can converge to create new skills
and resistances. Those with Unique Skills are beings with strong willpower who have
developed a skill unique to them[84] due to their desires.[85] Those with strong will can
strengthen the power of their attacks into realms beyond their limit and sometimes
reach[83] the Ultimate level.[86] However, gaining a new skill depends on the
individual's soul power, intense emotion, and desires to face adverse situations)
Resistances
Resistance to:
● Holy Manipulation, Conceptual Manipulation (Type 1) (2 Layers), Law Manipulation (2
Layers), Subjective Reality (2 Layers) and Power Nullification (1 Layer) (5-D; In
certain cases, even skills that are not of the Unique level, but are not magic-oriented
either, may be unaffected by the Holy Field)
● Curse Manipulation, Pain Manipulation, and Poison Manipulation (Curse Poison can
be resisted depending on the life force of the person which every skill users and
spiritual life-forms should have[87])
Unconventioanal Resistance to:
● Power Nullification, Power Destruction, Power Absorption, Power Mimicry (Skills are
inscribed into the soul which resists any outside interference, like if someone
attempts to erase, steal, absorb or separate skills it would not work unless the
interference is stronger than the soul's defenses[88])
Types
Unique Skills
Summary
Unique Skills (個有能力ユニークスキル yunīku sukiru?) are Skills that are born as the
expression of the mind, emotions, and desires of their user. Unique Skills can offer their user
access to a completely unique power different to that of ordinary magic or skills. They're the
manifestation of the mind brought about only when a strong individual is filled with strong
desires and emotions, usually after overcoming a trial or experiencing some sort of growth.
The abilities they offer their user are varied and different from skill to skill, even skills with
similar abilities or names will operate under completely different mechanisms and result in
differences in performance.
Abilities
● Law Manipulation (3 Layers), Subjective Reality (3 Layers), Conceptual Manipulation
(Type 1) (3 Layers) (5-D; Unique skill users can effect other Unique skill users, that
can resist Holy Field)
● Unique Skills will have +1 layers if they can bypass Unique Skill resistance because
Unique Skill users can harm other Unique Skill users as well.
Resistance
● Soul Manipulation (Unique skills are the shape of the mind itself and require a strong
soul to possess them. Their soul is strong enough to withstand the stress of the
summoning process that drags the person from another world in a different universe
across the realms.[89] Furthermore, Unique skills are often etched onto the soul, and it
could protect it from influence[90])
● Magic, Subjective Reality, Law Manipulation, and Conceptual Manipulation (Type 1;
5-D; Unique skill users have strong resistance to magic[86])
● Holy Manipulation, Conceptual Manipulation (Type 1) (2 Layers), Law Manipulation (2
Layers), Subjective Reality (2 Layers) and Power Nullification (1 Layer) (5-D; Special
skills like Unique Skills are not affected by the Holy Field)
● Mind Manipulation and Corruption (Type 2) (Unique Skills protect the Soul of their
owner from corruption and from desires being forcefully implanted into their Soul)
Ultimate Skills
Summary
Ultimate Skills (究極能力アルティメットスキル arutimetto sukiru?) are the successor to Unique
Skills and the final evolutionary stage of Skills in general. In Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken,
Unique Skill have various abilities, such as Law Manipulation, Reality Warping, Mind
Manipulation, Information Analysis, etc. However, Unique Skill will not affect Ultimate Skill
Users. This means, Ultimate Skill Users have resistance to Unique Skills. Ultimate Skills, as
the name implies, grants its wielder the ultimate power to control the very laws of nature.
The only way to counter an ultimate skill is with another ultimate skill.[91] That is the absolute,
unbendable rule of the world.
Abilities
● Enhanced Supernatural Willpower (Ultimate Skills are the ultimate culmination of the
power of will[83])
● Statistics Amplification and Fusionism (Can put their Ultimate Skill into simple punch,
kick, magic[92] to even harm a True Dragon[93] ultimate in existence, due to that the
use of magic can be applied on something that should not be harmed by it, even for
True Dragons with Ultimate Skill, they become astronomically far stronger than
normal with an ultimate applied[94])
● Law Manipulation (5 Layers), Subjective Reality (5 Layers), Conceptual Manipulation
(Type 1) (5 Layers) (5-D; Ultimate Skills are devices to grant access to the ultimate
principles of the world,[95] being able to control the very laws of nature,[96] Ultimate
Skill users can fuse their Ultimate Skills into their Magic,[97] and can thereby harm
other Ultimate Lifeforms such as True Dragons.[98] Furthermore, Ultimate Skill user
can also harm and affect other Ultimate Skill users)
● Invulnerability and Acausality (Type 4) (5-D; Ultimate Skill users aren't bound by the
laws of the world.[83] An attack from someone bound by the Laws of the World[83] will
not work against a True Dragon, an ultimate existence akin to an Ultimate Skill user.
Causality is included in the Laws of the World[42])
● Passive Power Nullification (2 layers) (5-D; Ultimate skill users could also passively
nullify the effects of Unique Skills attacks[99] either mental or physical)
● Spiritual Lifeform Physiology (An Ultimate Skill user has comparable will power to
Spiritual Lifeforms and they are also Spiritual Lifeforms themselves.[100] Spiritual
Lifeforms will power was said to outclass anything[83] and has stronger will power[101],
so for one to have an Ultimate Skill, one must be a spiritual lifeform)
● All Abilities and Resistance of Unique Skills but +1 or +2 layer for all Ultimate Skills
abilities and +1 layer resistance from some abilities from Unique Skill because they
cannot be affected by every Unique Skill ability. Ultimate Skill users can harm every
Unique Skill user and they are unaffected by Unique Skills. Furthermore, they can
also harm other Ultimate Skill users as well.
Resistance
● Mind Manipulation (Whoever’s mind is so fragile that it can be manipulated could
never obtain an ultimate skill. The source of consciousness, memories and mind
itself is the Soul, Astral body and Spiritual Body.[102])

and death when sent to that world.[105] Unique Skills work on other Unique Skill users)
● Empathic Manipulation, Energy Manipulation, Soul Manipulation and Death
Manipulation (Unaffected by Mariabell's Unique Skill ability "Death Wish" which can
reverse the instinct of her target of desiring to survive, to kill them.[106] Her skill
"Greedy One" also heavily utilizes the user's soul and can affect the target souls
directly,[107] drain her soul's energy to attack her target with destructive force,[108] and
manipulate the desires of others[109])
● Information Analysis, Analytical Prediction, Power Absorption (1 Layer), and Power
Mimicry (Unaffected by Hinata's Unique Skill Usurper allows her to steal and seize
skills and spirits from opponents.[110] Mathematician allows her to observe and

take its skill.[113] Glutton is a combo of Predator and Ravenous.[114] Ravenous has
Chaos Eater which can harm the spiritual body.[115] that is one of the layer covering
the soul and Rimuru can kill people by attacking their spiritual bodies which forms
their internal force.[116] Rimuru had also negated the resurrection[117] of Charybdis who
was a Spiritual Lifeform with his absorption which all the Hero could do was seal it to
prevent its resurrection.[118] Furthermore, Unique Skill users can work against other
Unique Skill users)

Introduction
This sandbox would be to justify Rimuru Tempest's High Godly Regeneration (Information;
Conceptual) that is thought to be undeserved via Infinite Regeneration.
For anyone wanting to look into it themselves, here's the CRT.
Table of Contents
First and foremost, the CRT used the same repeated arguments from this CRT in the past,
which had already been rejected. You can read the counterarguments against the OP from
there for more details.
From the previous CRT, the reason for the removal of the rating initially was:
● Infinite Regeneration is a Skill; how can it work even if the Heart Core would be
supposedly destroyed by Disintegration?
● Disintegration has limits; it might have not destroyed Rimuru's Heart Core, and he
could be a similar case to Veldora.
● Infinite Regeneration takes Magicules, how could it be deployed if Rimuru's entire
being was destroyed, including his Magicules?
Well, the second argument was dealt with thoroughly, and the third argument was dealt with
via an Alternative, what remains is the first one; to elaborate, let's thoroughly review the
argument from the OP:
Infinite Regeneration requires Magicules to regenerate the user’s body,
and since it is a skill stored in the core (unless stated otherwise), this
should rule out the possibility of the core being destroyed. Therefore,
Raphael’s statement should be interpreted as Rimuru outlasting Meltslash
due to sheer regeneration. Additionally, this is supported by the fact that
Meltslash has limitations, such as not being able to erase beings like
Veldora due to sheer size. The current standard states that a character
needs to be completely erased to qualify for Godly Regeneration. Even if
you argue that some important type 2 information was erased, it does not
disprove the fact that Infinite Regeneration will not be erased and that the
core should be somewhat fine to keep the Infinite Regeneration skill
running. There is also the fact that Magicules are involved. Hence, it is not
a complete erasure, which disqualifies it from High-Godly Regeneration.
So, yes, the main point was instead that when faced with Disintegration, his Magicules would
have been depleted (destroyed/erased), but Infinite Regeneration would instantaneously
regenerate his Physical/Material Body regardless. - (the term being used here is "You Lost",
which means its referring to before the activation of Infinite Regeneration, though even if it
was the latter, it would have been debatable what it was referring to; though even if it was
something like "You would have", that can also very much refer to such things simply being
erased via Disintegration, rather than being consumed by Skills).
The Japanese RAWs, when directly translated, state the same:
解当然です大量に 魔素量を そ 損 したでしょうが マテリアルボディ 物質体は
無限再生で即時復活が可能でした
Of course, the you would have lost a great deal of its magical energy, but
the material body would have been able to instantaneously regenerate
itself with infinite regeneration.
—JP Light Novel; Volume 7, Chapter 6: Gods and Demon Lords
Additionally, the term being used here is "Material Body" or "Physical Body", which refers to
what we know as normal, and the term "Energy and Magical Elements" just refers to
Magicules in general.
However, this is not to say Infinite Regeneration does not consume Magicules at all, no. The
above is merely for extra clarifications, as Infinite Regeneration does consume Magicules,
and by that I mean a lot:
I say exchanges, but it was entirely me defending. The rules were
intense— one mistake, and you’re out—but I was still fending her off. A
roaring fist from Milim surged past my right cheek. If I didn’t focus, I’d
never be able to dodge it. A single hit would shatter my body, no doubt. I
had Infinite Regeneration, a healing skill more powerful than even its
Ultraspeed cousin, but abusing it would drain my magicules too quickly. I
could probably regenerate myself after being reduced to goo, but keep
that up long enough, and I’d run out of stamina first.
—OTL Light Novel; Volume 6, Chapter 5: Walpurgis
However, strictly speaking, these Magicules are only necessary when regenerating the
Physical Body, not the Soul, which is because the Physical Body is made of Magicules (it's a
Magicule-Bade Corpus). Because essentially, Souls instead need a thing called "Soul
Energy" to work:
First off, it weakens you a lot. Which, yeah, of course it does—I took all
their soul energy out. I’ve taken their souls, and there’s no real reason for
me to give them back, and I don’t see how they have any right to complain
about it.
So thanks to that, they’re no longer able to invoke any skills. Even if skill
data was written into their hearts, they can’t use it at all without enough
soul energy. From now until the natural end of their lives, they’ve got no
hope of learning or using a single skill.
—OTL Light Novel; Volume 13, Epilogue; The Deeds Of A Demon Lord
That is to say, Infinite Regeneration only requires Magicules when regenerating the Physical
Body, because the Physical Body is made up of Magicules. It can also, however, perfectly
work without it as long as the user has enough Soul Energy.
The OTL missed the Kanji "直撃", which means "Direct Hit". Yes, the assumption that
Rimuru would have survived Melt Slash via Infinite Regeneration was based on a "Direct Hit"
principle, not some "Could have been dodged" one. Melt Slash, under this assumption,
would have really destroyed Rimuru, Soul and All.
This also means that Raphael would have made a backup for Infinite Regeneration as well.
Now, you might be wondering, then how would Rimuru's Heart Core be completely
destroyed if Raphael, a Skill that is supposed to be INSIDE the Heart Core, was not (and
would not be) destroyed?
Well, simple, because Raphael isn't in Rimuru's Heart Core, it's DIRECTLY and VERY
CLEARLY clarified as an exception to that rule:
But deep down, in a heart he should never have had, in a corner of
Rimuru’s soul—a will was born. A self, to put it another way. There had to
be one there or else a skill wouldn’t evolve in such rogue fashion in order
to fulfill its master’s wishes. And then the question came: Why did I take
this kind of action? It came from within Raphael, and it was solid proof that
this being had a self, separate from his master.
And yet, even this slight suspicion toward himself that was born in his
head was something Raphael quickly turned his eyes from.
I think, therefore I am…
It was a thesis that Raphael would find himself constantly thinking about,
going forward—and never finding an answer.
Regardless of his internal conflicts, Raphael continued with his
incomparably accurate work. He analyzed and assessed nearly a hundred
monsters at the same time, repairing their bodies, regenerating their souls,
and finally resurrecting them. It was a seamless flow, not a single
extraneous motion involved, and everything was handled at the right place
and time. Before the monsters in town realized it, the miracle had secretly
completed itself.
—OTL Light Novel; Volume 6, Chapter 5: The Unleased
So, to be clear here, Raphael is NOT in Rimuru's Heart Core, it's its own Heart Core entirely,
and separately, and even has its own Ego (Self/Will), something more fundamental than
even the Heart Core.
Even more so, it directly states just below that Raphael was "regenerating their Soul" ("their"
refers to Rimuru's subordinates), which very clearly implies that Raphael can regenerate
even Rimuru's Soul in case it was destroyed. The term used here is also "Regeneration", not
"Resurrect".
But what about Rimuru's Heart Core? Well, obviously, it can do that too, since it could
regenerate (or, well, "Recover") Beelzebuth, an Ultimate Skill that, this time, is indeed in
Rimuru's Heart Core:
Although… Wait a second. I know Raphael isn’t the type to take
dangerous risks, but…could I have, like, survived a Meltslash blow without
having to cancel it out with Belzebuth?
Understood. Of course. You lost a great deal of magical energy, but your
material body could have been instantly reconstructed with Infinite
Regeneration.
…So what were you so freaked out about? You didn’t just want to
consume Meltslash so you could analyze it, did you?
—OTL Light Novel; Volume 7, Chapter 6: Gods and Demon Lords
So, to summarize, this simply means Raphael has backed up all of Rimuru's Skills, and
questionably, even Rimuru himself (his memories, ego and all).
Now we have two assumptions here of how Rimuru would survive a direct hit from Melt
Slash:
1. Raphael would have regenerated Rimuru's Ego(questionable if it was destroyed to
begin with), Heart Core and Soul itself, and then regenerate his Physical Body via
Infinite Regeneration.
2. Raphael would have regenerated Infinite Regeneration alone, and afterwards, use
Infinite Regeneration to regenerate everything, including the Heart Core, Soul, and
Physical Body.
Now, in both cases, it would still warrant a full High Godly Regeneration (Conceptual;
Information), since Rimuru's own aspects are indeed completely being erased, it's simply
that Raphael is a separate entity entirely that simply resides in a "corner" of Rimuru's Soul,
thus, its aspects not being destroyed is not even a problem.
However, just to be sure, is the 2nd assumption even Plausible? Insofar as, has Infinite
Regeneration been stated to be capable of that?
Well, yes, on multiple occasions, actually:
This bold decisiveness was one Shion’s strengths. Shion let out a roar and
fully immersed herself in combat mode. Her body, optimized with the
Unique Skill ‘Cook,’ helped Shion increase her strength beyond her
existence value. Shion’s body was made highly suitable for close combat
with ‘Infinite Regeneration,’ surpassing even that of a giant. Physically
immortal, she would not die unless her ‘heart core’ was shattered.
—FTL Light Novel; Volume 20, Chapter 3: Quake Of The Titans
But of course, this is Shion's version of "Infinite Regeneration", and as we know it, each Skill,
even if they have identical names, are vastly different in potency and/or working:
• No two skills are identical. Even skills with the same name are likely to
be different in terms of capability or rules of operation. They evolve based
on the user’s wishes, so they may change in many unpredictable ways
depending on that.
—OTL Light Novel; Volume 16, Chapter 2: The Interviews
This pretty much means that Rimuru's Infinite Regeneration is different in potency and/or
operation. Thus, if Shion's version is capable of working as long as the Heart Core remains,
Rimuru's version can be one step above, being able to work as long as the Skill itself
remains and there's some external agent to make it work (that here being Raphael).
They key points of the proposals are:
● Rimuru's Infinite Regeneration is different from Shion's Infinite Regeneration in
potency and working.
● Even if Infinite Regeneration is not High Godly Regeneration, Rimuru still has HGR
(High Godly; Conceptual and Information) based on his Immortality Type 8 to
Raphael.
● Only Rimuru's regeneration will be High Godly if its accepted via infinite regeneration.
If its accepted via Raphael instead, it'll obviously only be for Rimuru.
Counter Arguments
Obviously, there would be arguments against the proposals, so here's counters and/or
answers to some of the arguments that may arise:
● Raphael still resides in Rimuru's Soul; Even if it has a different heart, it should still be
a part of Rimuru's aspects!
Answer: Not even close. Raphael is not only stated to be an entirely separate Heart Core
from Rimuru's, it is also directly called "Soulless". Therefore, there's a clear distinction made
and Raphael, albeit Rimuru's skill that resides IN his soul, is not a part of it and is
independent of it entirely.
● How would Raphael not be erased as well if Rimuru were to experience a "direct hit"
from Disintegration/Melt Slash?
Answer: There can be a few reasons to that. Either Raphael would separate itself from
Rimuru's Soul before Disintegration erases it, or Raphael has a backup for itself in the Laws
of the World, since Raphael is, ultimately, and so are all skills, part of the Set of Laws of the
World (World System).
● Regarding the first assumption, how could it separate itself faster then
Disintegration/Melt Slash hits it when Speed of Light is supposed to be the maximum
Physical Speed as stated in-verse?
Answer: The Heart Core is made up of Information Particles (which travel at Immeasurable
Speed when forced to move by a will/ego), or simply say, they can travel any spatial or
temporal distance in 0 time. So its plausible.
● How can we say that Raphael can control Information particles when only Digital
Lifeforms can?
Answer: Not only is Raphael specialized in manipulating the information particles to
manipulate Skills, it's directly stated that the conversation Rimuru has with Raphael happens
in an instant. Ciel also states later on (before Rimuru's evolution into a DLF) that she can still
communicate with Rimuru "instantly".
● It's stated that Raphael cannot restore Data Particles, so how can it restore Rimuru's
Heart Core?
Answer: In that scenario, the talk was about people from the Eastern Empire that were killed
by the Demoness Trio. Raphael obviously hadn't analyzed their data particles beforehand,
unlike it does for Rimuru. The latter is proven by the fact that Raphael had backed up
Beelzebuth, an Ultimate Skill that should reside in Rimuru's Soul.
● In the scenario that Raphael had a backup for itself in the VoTW, why would it still
serve Rimuru and help him?
Answer: Because Raphael has developed an Ego, independent from Rimuru, but that ego's
main goal is to serve Rimuru.
● Why does Infinite Regeneration still matter here, then, if it's all based on Raphael?
Answer: Because there are two possible scenarios of how Rimuru could have survived:
1. Raphael would have regenerated Rimuru's Ego(questionable if it was destroyed to
begin with), Heart Core and Soul itself, and then regenerate his Physical Body via
Infinite Regeneration.
2. Raphael would have regenerated Infinite Regeneration alone, and afterwards, use
Infinite Regeneration to regenerate everything, including the Heart Core, Soul, and
Physical Body.
● How would Infinite Regeneration be able to regenerate the core when its explicitly
stated in Shion's core that it cannot regenerate from Core destruction?
Answer: Because as stated in the sandbox, each skill, even if it shares the same name, is
different in working and potency. Just because Shion's skill is limited to core destruction
doesn't mean Rimuru's skill is so as well.
● Is there any example that supports that Skills can work after core destruction and can
regenerate data particles?
Answer: Indeed, and very clearly so. You can see this post for an example. So yes, there are
skills that still work even after having their Heart Core disintegrated.
● If Raphael is separate from Rimuru and thus an "External Factor", how is it
Regeneration and not Resurrection?
Answer: Strictly speaking, no. While it does have some level of independency, it's still simply
a part of Rimuru's Soul, but just so far as to reside in it, and be a part of Rimuru's own
powers/abilities. The only difference is that Raphael can 'regenerate' itself via VoTW. So it's
not an "External Factor" when the power itself still belongs to and is, Rimuru's.
● At this point, isn't Raphael just a robot that plans to take over the World, with the first
step being its own master? (Fun Question)
Answer: Raphael already has the ability to forcefully takeover the Voice of the World/World
System, so who knows
Rimuru Nigh-Omniscience
I think it time to bring Nigh-omniscient Rimuru to the LN as in Vol 21 Epilogue also stated
that he can create the world nearly identical to one another with the same DNA and
memories:
<<Because it has been a long time, the energy of the 'Nihility Collapse' has accumulated
enormously. Veldanava seems to have lost 'Nihility Collapse' by creating the world, but it is
not a problem because Master has 'Imaginary Space.'>>
What is wrong with that? I think it's full of problems... My 'Imaginary Space' seems to be
infinite, filled up enough to rebuild the world tens of thousands of times, but not filled yet. I
was wondering what that has to do with it, when Ciel-san made an outrageous statement.
<<It is possible to recreate the memories of all the people involved in Master and the world
environment to intentionally create a world as close as possible to the one that existed back
then. What do you think?>>
What do you mean? Ciel-san asked me, and I was absolutely dumbfounded. I understand.
After all is said and done, there is nothing more we can do. Yes, this is the end. This is the
world after everything. All the people I loved in my time, Benimaru, Shuna, Shion, Tempest,
Diablo, the demons, Guy, the demon lords, Milim, Ramiris, Hinata, and so many others, are
nowhere to be found in this world. I finally understood. I mean, it's like defeat.
I'm alive. I guess I can make it all happen again and live peacefully as if nothing happened. If
Ciel-san says she can do it, then there is no doubt about it. But that would have been
meaningless. I'm not happy to be the only survivor in a world where I couldn't protect the
ones I loved. If I didn't have friends with whom I could feel all the joys and sorrows, it was as
if I had lost the meaning of life. Even if they have the same memories, and even if the DNA
is exactly the same, it is impossible to claim that they are the same person if I have created
them with my own hands. My nerves are not strong enough to keep on living with them in the
same way as before.
Volume 21,Epilogue
Scans for proof: LN Rimuru Nigh-omniscient
Rimuru states that he could replicate those exact same Memories or DNA but due to his
character it’s impossible for him to do it since he prefers original than copies themselves
Drago Blade
The Drago Blade 「竜魔刀りゅうまとう, ryūmatō, lit. "Dragon-Demon Katana"」, also known as
the Chokutō 「直刀, chokutō, lit. "Straight Sword"」, is the sword owned by Rimuru Tempest.
Abilities
In addition to the advantages of being a God-grade weapon with an Existence value of over
2 million,[1] when True Dragon Nucleation is performed, the True Dragon that is turned into a
Blade Core 「刀の核ブレードコア, burēdo koa」 can be inserted into one of the sword's two
hole openings and the True Dragon's full power can be wielded as a weapon.
RIMURU TEMPEST
Rimuru like I have said multiple times that he is High Outerversal. I'll tell you how here. Let's
begin by explaining that Rimuru has an inexhaustible amount of Turn Null Energy
With Turn Null, Rimuru can recreate The World, the Entirety of Tensura Cosmology, including
the Cardinal World, and the Infinite sized Dimensions and the Labyrinth.
He can recreate all this tens of thousands of times.
This already justifies him being High Outerversal level but let's talk about another aspect
which is Imaginary Space. Imaginary Space is a power that even the “god" of Tensura
doesn't have
And it can fit all of worlds along with its dimensions and timelines, basically the entire
cosmology of Tensura and still not be filled, implying that it is of a greater Infinity than the
World. Meaning that it has a dimensional superiority than the world making it layers into High
1A (High Outerversal level).
