[Book 3] That time I got reincarnated as a slime,no, a DRAGON?

3rd Person POV

In a faraway world, devoid of life, only two beings lived. In a large castle, which was as big as the entirety of New York, only two beings lived. The castle itself was old and decrypt. Parts of the outer wall had fallen, and many other parts of the inner castle had been destroyed. The only part of the castle that was still in pristine condition was the king's bedroom.

Surrounding the castle were remnants of what would have been a prosperous city. But, the city has perished long ago, and the city had turned to ruins. Many structures which failed to withstand the passage of time had already turned to dust, while those which were still standing didn't have much life left in them.

Inside the bedroom, a man and woman, who looked no more than 25 years old were indulging in themselves in each other's body. These two, both, were one of the Seven surviving Chaos Lords. As soon as the aura spread across the planet, the two stopped.

"It's look like he is finally back." The woman who was lying on the bed said.
"Both of them, it seems." The man, who was on top of her replied.

"Looks like we will have to cut this session short." The woman said.
"Then, let's get to it." The man said as he began to move again, increasing his intensity, which sent waves of destruction across the world, destroying whatever remains of the city had managed to survive.

--------------------------------

In the endless void, a single piece of void ice floated. Unlike normal ice, that is simply the solid form of water, void ice was the solid form of Nihilium that could be found in the void. Inside this void ice was the silhouette of a man. A man, who appeared to be in his late twenties was frozen inside the void ice.

As soon as Rimuru's and Ciel's aura spread through the void, a change occurred. The void ice, that had remained unchanged for millennia cracked. Cracks originated near the centre of the void ice and continued to spread outwards from the mans body. After a few seconds, a large explosion occurred as the void ice shattered to pieces.

The man who was inside the void ice suddenly moved. His fingers twitched as his heart began to beat again. The pale white skin of his regained colour as blood began to flow through his body yet again. After his millennia long sleep, he had finally woken up to the revival of one of his fellow Chaos Lord. With a smile, he disappeared into the void.

------------------------------

In a faraway planet covered with lava and molten rocks, a single species lived. In an environment where the average temperature of the planet was above 5000 Kelvin and volcanic eruptions were a natural thing, a woman with red hair and red eyes was floating around in the lava inside an active volcano, as if it was her bathtub. Only her slender hands and her face was visible above the layer of lava.

Another women in red robe was standing on top of the lava barefoot. In her hand was a small piece of paper.

"It looks like this planet is cooling down as well. We will need to find another world to travel to, your majesty." The woman said to her queen who was busy enjoying the lava bath.

"*Sigh* I understand. Gather everyone, we will leave in about a decade, so tell them to get ready." The queen of phoenixes, who was still bathing in the lava finally came out. She still had her clothes on, yet those clothes were not bothered by the high temperature at all. As soon as she was about to go and scout out any new world that might support them, a strong aura spread throughout the world.

The woman who was reporting felt an oppressive aura, but didn't kneel. She looked at her Queen, who had a wide smile on her face.

"Looks like we have another war on the horizon. Prepare the military." The queen said. The woman did not understand the relation between this aura and war, but still did what she was told as she quickly left.

"I wonder how you are doing now, Ciel." The queen mumbled.

---------------------------------

In the void, thousands of large creatures were flying around. They all looked the same, large round bodies similar to that of whales. They were completely black in colour, indistinguishable from the void surrounding them.

These creatures were called Void Whales. As one of the few creatures that can move through the void, they were obviously extremely strong. The creatures that loved and survived the void were the very cream of the crop, as far as living things go. For proof, Ivarage was one of the weakest void monsters and kicked out of the void by other void monsters.

At the lead of the pack was one extremely large Void Whale, who was also one of the Chaos Lord, and also, the only Chaos Lord who had no fixed territory.

--------------------------------

In a dark world, submerged in the eternal darkness, a bustling civilization stood. A city, spanning millions of miles in radius stood in this simply endless world. The city itself was divided into many different sections, containing mountains, rivers, deserts and every other thing a world might have. Apart from the large size of this humongous city, the only other thing that looked out of place were the people.

The people of this huge city were not living creatures, rather, they were the souls of the dead. They all had an ethereal body. The shadow of their soul faintly replicated what they looked like before their death. So the souls who lived here were souls of people and creatures and who left a massive mark in the history of their world and species. Each and every single one of these souls is just too precious to be broken into pieces and reincarnated, and as such were made to stay here.

Outside this ginormous city was an infinitely long line of souls of those who had died. The line coiled around the perimeter of the city before going on a tangent, extending to as far as the eye can see. These were the souls of those people who had died and would be reincarnated, or made to stay in the city.

In the centre of this city was a large castle, where the ruler of this City of Souls lived. The Queen of the city was laying lazily on the bed. Her voluptuous body was covered barely by her black and white robe, underneath which she was naked. As a soul, there is not much to do, except wait for time to pass.

So, the city nearly always remains peaceful and stagnant. Very rarely do new people join the city. As such, the queen had nothing much to do. Many many years ago she had led the souls under her command to fight the Outer Gods and then even fought against the Gods who betrayed them. But ever since the war ended, she had silently remained here, stealthily building to her strength and expanding her army, waiting for the right time. And the time was finally here.

As soon as Rimuru's aura spread throughout the world, she felt a tingling sensation in her heart. Her idle and monotonous life was finally about to change, and she couldn't wait for it.
