In the end, Rimuru Tempest evolves into a supremely powerful "True Dragon God" with complete mastery over space-time and gains the ability to manipulate reality to save countless worlds from destruction.
The Exponential Evolution to Godhood

| Evolution Stage | Power Level |
|---|---|
| Slime | 1 |
| Predator Slime | 1,000+ |
| Demon Slime | 100,000+ |

In the final arc, Rimuru makes the jump to True Dragon God – gaining power surpassing the previous strongest beings in existence.
The Path to Apotheosis
Rimuru follows the mythical hero‘s journey:
- Ordinary World: Average 37-year old office worker dies and reincarnates as a basic Slime.
- Call to Adventure: Meets powerful allies like Veldora and decides to create a monster nation.
- Trials & Victory: Faces escalating threats while unlocking new skills, evolving further over time.
- Abyss: Seemingly dies against Yuuki but his soul persists.
- Transcendence: Absorbs Veldanava‘s skills and energy to transform into a True Dragon God.
- Return: Comes back to defeat Yuuki, save existence, and rule as an immortal lord.
Analyzing from a mythological lens reveals Rimuru‘s fated ascent to becoming a supreme deity.
Exponential Evolution
Each of Rimuru‘s evolutions leads to exponential gains as depicted in the chart earlier.
- As a True Demon Lord, he was already considered a pseudo-deity.

Ultimate Skills Gained
- Turn Null: Warps causality and manipulates probability for any outcome Rimuru desires.
- Void God Azathoth: Projects himself across infinite dimensions simultaneously.
- Imaginary Space: Creates/controls spatial phenomena and energetic dimensions.
These broken skills essentially grant ** Rimuru power over all of existence.
Saving Existence from Annihilation
Rimuru puts his newfound might to save the universe from the last boss villain, Yuuki Kagurazaka.
Yuuki‘s Malevolent Goals
Obsessed with his manga, Yuuki gains powers allowing him to consume worlds as "food" for his fictional characters.
- With billions of absorbed souls, Yuuki planned to trigger "God‘s Cradle" – destroying all reality to be remade after his whims.
- This would have ended all life instantly across endless universes.
Climactic Battle
Their epic confrontation devastates spatial barriers around worlds, undoing the boundaries of reality itself.
But Rimuru‘s overwhelming abilities as a True Dragon God let him overpower and permanently defeat Yuuki – saving existence from total collapse.
Over 10,000 worlds and trillions of lives were rescued from the brink of annihilation thanks to Rimuru‘s efforts.
