But what is Megiddo, and what makes it such a devastating force?

Unleashing Fury

Rimuru's Evolution to Demon Lord

In the world of That Time I Got Reincarnated As a Slime, various Demon Lords exist. To become a "True Demon Lord", specific conditions must be met, including a critical ceremony called the "Harvest Festival". Before reaching this status, individuals are known as Demon Lord Seeds and must undergo a transformation to ascend. The Harvest Festival requires 10,000 souls, with the quality affecting the quantity needed for the ritual. After the transformation, the individual gains immense power and undergoes physical and mental changes. Witnessing the devastation in Tempest, Rimuru, consumed by anger, deployed Megiddo – God's Wrath.

Unstoppable Force

Harnessing 10,000 Souls

Megiddo represents Physics Magic, a unique form created by Rimuru that materializes physical attacks instead of magical ones, bypassing magical defenses. By manipulating water droplets with Spirit Magic, Rimuru forms lenses to concentrate beams of light, akin to a magnifying glass. What sets Megiddo apart is its reliance on physics for damage, making it highly efficient in conserving magical energy. These attacks are impervious to magical blocks but can be disrupted by specific interventions. The name Megiddo is derived from Tel Megiddo, symbolizing the battle of good versus evil.

Enhanced Techniques

In a side story of That Time I Got Reincarnated As a Slime: How to Spend a Certain Vacation, Rimuru refines Megiddo with insights from the manga 3x3 Eyes by Yuzo Takada. By combining Megiddo with Demon Lord's Haki, Rimuru creates illusions of a three-headed dragon, enhancing the attack's impact. This fusion of abilities showcases Rimuru's adaptability and the versatility of Megiddo. Even a devastating power like Megiddo can become a playful tool under the right circumstances.
