Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan

Chapter 185: I am the biggest

Probably because of Ava, his evolution wasn't dull.

In his mind, he talked with Ava about what was happening to reality as he fell asleep after he killed the Orc Disaster.

Usually, when one entered the Harvest Festival, one would be in a vulnerable position as one would lose consciousness and be unable to do anything, falling into a deep slumber.

Naturally, he was in the same situation.

What he had done, without a doubt, would cause anger from the orcs, but he had a reliable ally.

Rimuru, Shizu, and the rest of the members of the villages.

Before he fell into a deep slumber, he had reminded them to bring him back, so they did so.

Ranga and Souei weren't named by him, so they weren't struck by the waves of sleepiness. Though Shion, Shuna, and Hakurou fell asleep because they received a Gift from this Harvest Festival. However, unlike him, who evolved, they didn't, so they only slept for a day before they woke up.

As for the orcs, everything was taken care of by Rimuru.

While the decision hadn't been made, as he was still in the middle of his evolution, they were waiting for him.

Yet, all of them, without a doubt, felt fear as they thought about his future.

However, Rimuru would probably talk to him as he had devoured the Orc Disaster.

Ava told him that Rimuru also had successfully evolved his [Predator] into [Gluttony], and there was a high chance that Rimuru would ask him to let go of the orcs as Rimuru had eaten the karma of the Orc Disaster.

Frankly, Tamazuki didn't care much about the orcs. If Rimuru wanted to save all of them, he was okay with it since his purpose in coming to this world was only to become stronger.

Yet, he had to say his growth in this world was surprising.

Ultimate Skills aside, his evolution was the one that surprised him the most.

Heavenly Dog.

He was no longer Tanuki and became a new species of monster.

While he wasn't sure if it was the same, he thought that he had become a monster in the Chinese myth.

Tiangou, or the Heavenly Dog.

It was said that it was a monster that ate the sun or the moon during the eclipse.

[Correction. The Heavenly Dog in Master's original world is different from this world]

Really?

[Yes, but you can mimic it as you learn your uncle's "Gluttony"]

He nodded as he thought he could mimic Tiagou as he had "Gluttony."

But had he learned "Gluttony"?

[Yes, Master, you have learned "Gluttony." I have recorded how to use it on your memory, and you can learn it right away]

At that moment, he thought he was glad to have Ava.

[Oh, wait for a moment]

Hmm?

[Gluttony] thus evolved into [Lord of Avarice, Balaam]

???

[Due to the innate talent of the Heavenly Dog, it is possible to evolve [Gluttony] into [Lord of Avarice, Balaam]

And, then?

[Yes, it seems because of our talk about a legend that, it also affects your skill to a certain extent and causes evolution. Moreover, your potential is much stronger than your uncle]

It wasn't to a certain extent; it was a big change!

However, he couldn't deny Ava, as he agreed that his potential was much higher than his uncle's.

Yet, it didn't matter as he wondered what was about this [Lord of Avarice, Balaam], so he checked it.

In essence, it wasn't much different from the [Gluttony] he had previously.

[Gluttony] was the combination of the [Predator] from Rimuru and [Starved Ones] from Orc Disaster. The [Predator] aside, he gained three sub-skills from the Starved Ones: Rot, Soul Consume, and Food Chain.

Rot is a skill to inflict "Rot" on the target, decomposing it if it is organic. Monster corpses partially absorbed in this manner will reward the user with part of the monster's skills. This effect is imbued with [Predator].

Soul Consume the ability to seize the souls of anyone begging for their lives, seeking help from the user, retreating, or running away. Once the condition is met, the soul can be seized at any time afterward, from virtually any distance instantly. The user can be informed about any malicious thoughts by the target immediately. The souls of the recently killed can also be seized.

Food Chain is an ability that allows the user's subordinates to provide their strength to increase their own. They may also divert some of their strength down to them. "Food Chain" also grants access to the skills of those connected to the user.

Those skills were powerful enough, but the [Gluttony] evolved into [Lord of Avarice, Balaam], it gave him the ability to devour everything on his target.

Everything.

A soul, body, memory, abilities, skills, experiences, magic, energy, everything belonging to his target would belong to him as he devoured it into his body.

While doing so, he still retained all the sub-skills from the [Gluttony].

He had to say this was a scary and greedy skill, but since it was owned by him, it was all good, right?

Nevertheless, the improvement of his power aside, he was moved that Shizu, Shion, Shuna, and the rest had been waiting for him by his side and didn't move away, waiting for him. He was also eager to wake up, yet he had to say he was a bit disappointed as he couldn't help Shizu to prolong her life with how he was currently.

He might have become stronger, but he realized it was far from enough to protect the people he cared about.

Then, three days passed, and he also opened his eyes from his slumber.

[Master, don't be surprised]

Leaving those words, Ava remained silent afterward.

Surprise?

What am I going to be surprised by?

He opened his eyes, adjusting his eyes, and felt that everything was so small.

What's happening?

"Tamazuki-sama? Tamazuki-sama, have you woken up?"

He heard a voice and then looked at the source before he saw Shion in front of him, looking at him excitedly.

"Shion?"

"Yes, I am Shion!"

"Why are you so small?"

"...you are the one who has become bigger, Tamazuki-sama."

Shion sounded so helpless at that moment.

Yet, because of their conversation, everyone also quickly noticed he had woken up.

Rimuru, Hakurou, Benimari, Souei, and everyone rushed toward him.

"You bastard! Don't make us worried!" Rimuru complained.

"How is your body, Tamazuki-sama?"

"Do you feel uncomfortable?"

Everyone asked him one by one, but his eyes focused on Shizu, who was looking at him with a gentle expression as she welcomed him.

"Welcome back."

"I am back."

Yet, he had to say he was surprised by his size.

"Oi! Don't ignore me!"

"Sorry, Uncle, but I am surprised by my size."

"Yeah... you are right. I will be surprised if I am as big as you." Rimuru couldn't deny Tamazuki's words, as Tamazuki was enormous.

His size was so huge that he was like a hill when he lay on the ground in his monster form.

"Let me check how big I am now."

Then, he stood up and felt like he could reach the clouds somehow.

However, for the others, they were in awe.

Yes, awe.

When they faced him, they felt like they were looking at the mountain.

Everyone, whoever they were, could see him from a distance as his height had reached 117 meters, and his length was around 254 meters.

This is ridiculous!

Still, this was a subconscious reaction, but Rimuru, Benimaru, Souie, and the rest of the guys were staring at his nether region.

Tamazuki was in his monster form and was also a male, so his "son" was clearly shown even if he didn't want to.

"IT'S BIG, SU! IT'S AMAZING, SU!"

Gobuta's voice echoed through the village, showing how amazed he was. Still, he quickly shut his mouth when Tamazuki stared at him and even passed out, as being stared at by him definitely almost caused him to have a heart attack.

"...."

Suddenly, the atmosphere became so awkward.

While the guy looked at his "son" with awe and a sigh, the female was shy and secretly stared at him from time to time.

Still, this also made them look at Shizu in amazement as with such a big thing, how could her small body handle it?

Yet, many also showed a longing expression, especially Shion, Shuna, and many others.

Shizu also felt that her face was so hot that she wanted to run away, but similar to the others, she was in awe.

His size aside, his aura was so divine.

It was like they were facing a being from the upper realm or heaven when they faced him.

Still, as his senses were enhanced through this evolution, he was speechless, staring at his "son," yet maybe because of his size, shyness wasn't in his dictionary. All that was left was only pride, yet how could he not be, as his size wasn't shameful, right?

In this world, he was probably the biggest.

"By the way, Tamazuki, you should return to your human form. In this form, I am afraid that you might cause an earthquake and destroy the village when you walk."

Rimuru quickly shouted as he felt the world trembling when Tamazuki took just one step.

Everyone was also trembling since even if he didn't release his aura, his immense size was enough to crush them.

"Okay."

Without hesitation, he transformed into his hybrid form.

Naturally, unlike his monster form, which was humongous, his height was relatively normal, but he felt he had become taller.

Should it be around 190 cm?

As for his appearance, it probably didn't change much. If he had to say, he had become more handsome? Especially now when he had [Divinity] now.

Yet, did he make a single mistake... or was it deliberately?

Everyone stared at him in silence before they covered their crotch, but the girls had nosebleeds and passed out.

Fortunately, Ava reacted fast and gave him clothes.

Yet, he knew this mistake was made deliberately by Ava, so he could assert his domination.

Ava... you are so crafty.

[Thank you]

"..........."

If you have something to ask, then ask, okay?

However, I am satisfied with this evolution of his.
