The Empire’s Succession Secret: Velgrynd’s Authority | Tensura LN Vol. 16
This video explains the events of the Chapter 3 – Part 3 from Tensura Light Novel Volume 16. Rimuru finally exposes the “awful truth” behind the Empire’s collapse: Rudra was exhausted, his Ultimate Skill Justice King Michael developed an ego, and it began acting like a living will, dominating even Velgrynd’s thoughts. That revelation shocks Gazel and the Imperial officers, but Rimuru reframes it fast: the war wasn’t truly the Empire’s fault, it was Michael’s domination. Then the meeting pivots to the real objective: install a new Emperor, cut off Michael’s fuel source, and stabilize the East before the enemy resurfaces. Minutes formally declares unconditional surrender, and Rimuru confirms the bigger play: Tempest will fully back Masayuki as the new symbol of the Empire, with Dwargon joining as well. The bloodline issue gets raised, and the Empire’s systems solve it: Velgrynd’s recognition is the highest authority, Senate records exist, and even DNA-level verification is mentioned. Rimuru suggests “just pretend Masayuki is Rudra,” but Velgrynd insists it’s safer to declare Rudra “dead” so loyalty shifts away from him, weakening Michael. Masayuki accepts the burden anyway. Finally, Gazel hits Masayuki with the most important question: what values will unite the Empire? Masayuki answers with simple idealism: build a world where people can live with laughter. Rimuru agrees immediately, and the alliance locks in. 📚 Tensura Light Novel Playlists Volume 23 Complete Story Breakdown: 🔗 • That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Li...
