After Clayman's defeat, Rimuru continues to attend Walpurgis, to which Leon Cromwell and Luminous Valentine leave early, Rimuru gains the ability to replicate dishes and refuses to let Milim Nava drink wine due to him thinking that she's too young for it, and Ramiris passes out from overdrinking. Rimuru returns home where he is greeted by the citizens, including Diablo. While having matcha pudding, Rimuru finds out that Veldora told everything to Diablo and had his pudding taken away in response, but soon feels pity and gives it back. He learns that Diablo had healed Falmuth's king and his subordinates, who were previously tortured by Shion for threatening Tempest. The three then become Diablo's servants and they all travel back to Falmuth along with Youm, Grucius, and Mjurran. Meanwhile, the nobles in Falmuth are unable to heal the king. Once Diablo's group arrives, they present their story of the defeat of Falmuth's army and Veldora's revival. This shocks the nobles as the Western Holy Church claimed that Veldora was long gone, until Razen points out that a True Dragon can never be destroyed as they can be reborn. They also learned that the Dryads helped Rimuru bargain with Veldora to calm his wrath. This leads the nobles to see that attacking Tempest was a bad idea. When Carlos, one of the nobles, refuses to believe this nor agree with the idea to ally with Tempest, Razen imprisons him in a block of ice. After healing the king using one of Rimuru's potions, Diablo has them choose to either ally with Tempest or continue the war, all while warning them to not double cross Rimuru or else. This gives the nobles very little time to decide. After learning of this, Rimuru leaves Diablo to handle the situation.

They later deliver the news to Luminous, who, after she explains what happened in Walpurgis, warns them not to engage Veldora or Rimuru, knowing how powerful they are now, and that she has not declared them enemies. Also, she reveals that although Rimuru technically isn't evil, he presumably still holds a grudge towards Hinata for trying to destroy him and his nation. Meanwhile, in Falmuth, the king holds a meeting and, after learning of the events that occurred in Walpurgis, Blumund’s allegiance with Tempest, and what the Western Holy Church plan to do next, they eventually decide to form an alliance with Tempest after all.
