It depicts conflicts and peace with various races, as well as the coexistence and war between humans and monsters. This is a fascinating story. In this article, we will explain and discuss the unique skill "Great Sage," which could be considered the partner of the protagonist, the slime.

Mikami Satoru, a salaryman at a major company, is stabbed to death at the beginning of the story. At that time, because he had been a virgin until he was 37, he thought that if he had remained a virgin until he was 40 when he was dying, he might have become a sage, and so he gained the extra skill "Sage". And, thinking that if he had persevered a little longer, becoming a "Great Sage" might not have been a dream, his extra skill "Sage" evolved into the unique skill "Great Sage". The Storm Dragon Veldora told him that those who are reincarnated are given the ability they wished for when they came to this world.

Magic Sense

At first, the protagonist, who is just a slime, cannot see his surroundings. At that time, Storm Dragon Veldora speaks to him. At that time, they are unable to speak and so communicate via telepathy, but they can't get anywhere unless they can see each other, and he tells them about the "Magic Perception" skill. He then acquires the extra skill "Magic Perception", which enables him to both see and hear, but in order to manage the vast amount of information sensed by magic, he synchronizes with the "Great Sage". This makes it possible to grasp the scenery around him all at once. This is different from what he sees with his eyes, and his field of vision is much wider, as Rimuru murmurs later when he sees it in his human form.
Infinite Prison

Storm dragon Veldora is sealed away by the hero's "Absolute Severance" and "Infinite Prison" and is unable to move. Because the "Infinite Prison" cannot be destroyed by physical damage, he suggests that they have the "Predator" eat it and the "Great Sage" analyze it to break the seal on Veldora, to which Veldora agrees. The "Infinite Prison" was analyzed when Rimuru evolved into a true Demon Lord. This was about a year after he met Rimuru.

In the battle against the pig-headed demon lord Gerudo, Rimuru, whose magic power was still in its infancy considering the amount of magic power he had at the time, switches to the "Great Sage" automatic combat mode. Although he has a sense of self, all of his actions and magical control are controlled by the "Great Sage," allowing him to attack accurately. However, since it is based on probability theory, this will not work if there is a possibility that the probability is extremely small. Unfortunately, in the battle against Gerudo, he was unable to win the battle in the "Great Sage" automatic combat mode because he had gained heat resistance.

The "Great Sage" speaks a language that partially uses the function of the "World Language" that conveys changes to the world. The words you hear when acquiring or evolving skills are the "World Language." The Great Sage modified himself in order to answer Rimuru's questions. In the process of self-modification, perhaps this Great Sage is beginning to develop a sense of self. There was also a moment in the battle with Gerudo when the Great Sage was astonished by Rimuru. There is still a lot we don't know, though.

The unique skill "Pervert" gained by preying on Shizue Izawa is the ability to integrate and separate, and with this ability, the spirits Ifrit and Shizu were "transformed" (assimilated) into one being. This skill is actually quite useful for the "Great Sage", and allows for the integration of skills all at once. By linking Rimuru's various resistances with the "Area Barrier", it is possible to activate the "Multiple Barriers" at all times, which is the power of integration of this "Pervert".

After Shion was killed, Rimuru decided to become a demon lord. At this time, he sacrificed the soldiers who attacked Tempest. More than 10,000 sacrifices are needed to become a Demon Lord. After Rimuru becomes a True Demon Lord, he revives Shion. At that time, the unique skill "Great Sage" evolves into the ultimate skill "King of Wisdom". After that, he can also predict future attacks, and Rimuru names the King of Wisdom Ciel after the word "teach", and the Wisdom Core Ciel is created. This makes it possible to hide even the "language of the world".
Seven Virtues and Seven Deadly Sins
When you become a True Demon Lord, you gain two ultimate skills, "King of Wisdom" and "King of Gluttony", and "King of Wisdom" is one of the seven virtues and "King of Gluttony" is one of the seven deadly sins. Other characters have the remaining virtues and sins, so it might be interesting to watch the story while knowing this.

This skill, which I gained when I was reincarnated, acts as a guide and support. However, it seems that I have to make the decision myself. However, this skill gradually becomes more and more cheaty. In the end, Rimuru may become the one and only God. I'm looking forward to seeing how things will turn out.
