"Anyways, how can I help, if not watch humanity?" asked Rimuru after calming down.

Zelretch smiled. He then showed the group the pack of cards he was holding. Each card had a humanoid shape, with either a bow, a sword, a lance, a cloak, there were many others.

"By becoming servants, of course. You can make a contract with the world to aid them in battle, while posing as servants. You can be summoned to that organization, though it is not guaranteed. What's more, as servants, you must obey your master, or if not, they have 3 command spells to force you to do so. Running out of command spells means the contract is over. Sadly, I believe that each of your strengths surpass the limit of these cards."

Rimuru thought for a moment. He could probably break out of that contract with Ciel's help, but he didn't want to risk Shizue. Veldora had been controlled before, but it's not like he would be getting bossed around, and push comes to shove, he could teleport Veldora through the {Soul Corridor} between them and forcefully shut down that contract. Veldora could endure that. He wasn't sure Shizue could though. Well, perhaps she could, but it would be her first time, and Rimuru preferred to not risk it.

["Master, perhaps if we put both Veldora and Shizue into your clones, which would become approximately Rank A+ to Rank S, the ranking of the cards. We may have to limit skills, however, I have already prepared clones that can surpass their limit, and have the full strength of the individual flow into the clone. Hence, the clone would become the original. In other words, push comes to shove, the limiter on the clone can be removed without destroying the clone, allowing the person controlling the clone to use their full strength!"]

"WHAAAAT?!" thought Rimuru. "Don't go dropping bombshells like that! Though it does serve our purpose. But I still don't want Shizue to be forced into a contract… I don't want Veldora to, either…"

["Answer. Giving the clone to be served as Master's servant form a skill. Skill name, {Count on me}. Using information gathered from Zelretch and the analysation of the World to create a link between Individual Shizue Izawa and Master… Successful. Master can now summon Shizue as a servant, for one of his abilities as a servant."]

"Ciel… what would I do without you…And Veldora?"

[" Push comes to shove he can go berserk at full power, which would be enough to break any force that is attempting to keep him restrained."]

"Ah, I see, thanks!"

Rimuru then created three clones of himself. Shizue and Veldora immediately understood, while Zelretch stood by.

"This could work." said Zelretch

A few hours went by….

"Done!" stated Rimuru.

His servant was that of the Foreigner class, and was categorized as an Arts Supporter/Attacker, but he did have some buster moves. It had the skills {Great Sage}, which would grant him massive amounts of stackable buffs, {Count on me}, which basically made him a master for Shizue. Finally, there was {Menace}, which would debuff all enemies by a lot.

Yes, his servant was based on his original self before he was a demon lord. Of course, he had his human form already. And yes, his servant version was OP by Zelretch's standards, but this was only stage 1! Zelretch had stated that there were 4 stages for a servant to grow, and he was happy to see what would happen. Oh, and he had a few passives, {Complete Heat Resistance} (any attack related to fire damage - 95% damage reduction), and {Passive regeneration} (750 hp/turn). And 2 Noble Phantasms, but that was for later...

Veldora was a Berserker class. His three skills were {Dragon Form}, which transforms him into his dragon form, with higher defense and attack, but more mana usage. It also only lasted 8 turns. His second ability was {Dragonic Haki}, which would debuff the enemy and paralyze them for 1-3 turns, depending on the enemy's luck level. Finally, his third ability was {Veldora Killing Arts ATM}, which he would make poses in his human form that would buff his attack, speed and defense. His Noble Phantasm was basically a gigantic beam of energy which would cause petrification and paralyzation for 2 turns no matter what, unless the enemy had invincibility. He was a Buster attacker.

Shizue was a Saber class servant. Another Arts/Buster, like Rimuru. Her three skills were {Degenerate}, which gave her both offensive and defensive buffs, which could be swapped at will. Her mask was another one of her abilities, allowing her to hide her noble phantasm charge and crit stars, as well as her buffs from enemies. It also gave her an evasion buff and attack buff and accuracy buff. Finally, her {Flame Spirit Haki}, which did the same as his menace, a wide variety of debuffs.

Rimuru thought to himself.

"Yea, we did base these servants off of our past selves… Shizue has an Ultimate Skill now though, and is considered another True Hero, so it would make more sense to say {True Hero Haki}, but we can wait until stage 4, right Ciel?"

["Yes Master, all preparations are complete. Time to kick some ASS!"]

"Hey HEY! Where did you learn those words?"

["Veldora isn't exactly quiet, Master."]

"DAMN IT VELDORA!"

["Master has also taught me many words as well, do you wish for me to-"]

"STOP! Ughhhhh… Well, at least I know Ciel is becoming more and more human now…"

"So, we are all done, what do we do now?"

"'I'll make sure that your summoning is a success, though it is understandable that you don't fully trust me." responded Zelretch.

The decision was made. Rimuru, Veldora, and Shizue were all going to control their clones via {Soul Corridor}, while their main bodies would be within Rimuru's {Imaginary Space}. Veldora also decided to stay behind in his clone body, at least until it was determined that Rimuru had arrived safe and sound, before he would be summoned.

As Rimuru shook Zelretch's hand, he asked a final question.

"You are not going to tell me about this Master, will you?"

"I think I already told you enough. Besides, telling you everything, would take the fun out of it, would it not?" Zelretch said with a smile.

"Cocky bastard, you remind me of a certain red haired demon." retorted Rimuru.

"I'll take that as a compliment."

Rimuru, Shizue and Veldora then returned to the {Imaginary Space}, while Zelretch stood outside, pondering.

"Well, an outer god that protects humans and humanity huh? I genuinely didn't know who would win if we got into a fight… And the two beside him also classify as outer deities. It seems that humans are still loved…"

He then stood up, created a portal with his jeweled sword, before walking away. He had already caused the summoning to happen, both of them. Albeit, Veldora and Rimuru may arrive at Chaldea at drastically different time intervals, since their Master's summoning schedule is quite complicated…
