I just find that so dumb on a fundamental level: why would evolving to demon lord status revive people around you one single time? Where is the relation between both? And why can't it be done multiple times whenever you have enough souls? It's such an arbitrary bonus :/

The barrier and soul dispersion ideas let me think the soul works like magicules. Maybe magicule arrangement ?
So with lots of magicules, times and boredom, you can finetune yourself an arrangement ?
I know, juste a silly idea. I might be totally wrong and that baby dragon was something else.
Well the story was about Milim and it happened spontaneously, if I got the story right.
Rimuru will make it happen and has barriers to prevent soul scatering. Not the same conditions. And MC Deus Ex....
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
Wasn't Veldora sealed by a human hero fairly recently? Nobody would even remember him anymore if it had been like centuries ago. But I don't remember the beginning of the whole series too well anymore.
Forgot about timelines... it was around 300 years for Veldora ?
I don't remember an era for the story we've just been told and don't remember about Milim age/era. Only that she's been a DL for a very long time, not a very precise and useful memory here

Milim didn't seal Veladora. Shizu's master did. Discussed waaaaaaay back between Rimuru and Veladora. Or Rimuru and Shizu.
Milim is much, much older.
It's not that becoming a demon lord would revive people in and of itself. Great Sage calculated that the chances of what Eren is describing go up if the one performing it is a demon lord.
Missed the "souless" part you guys were mentioning. Thought you were replying to something else.
Well, from Milim's story it looked more like reanimation than reviving. There has been no mention of it being one single time, but if it is, maybe it has to do with the level of energy they gain or they expel as they transform into Demon Lord and how it affects their surroundings as they do so.
Did they say one single time? I just assumed Demon Lords had the ability to revive their monster minions. Which would be in keeping with a JRPG world.

Yeeeees! Feed on their souls!
Fucking tease of an episode, the only thing I really hate about this series is the pace.
That said, looks like they're all decided on annihilation. Now I have to wonder if he'll stop at the 10,000 he needs or will go for the full 20,000 that are on their way. Also, not sure why he's wearing the suppression mask.
I mean, why stop at half? Doesn't make much sense at that point.
Peace.
Hostages? To leave witnesses of his power? To show he doesn't need to kill more than he requires, demonstrating that he can be as vicious and reasonable as the situation calls for?
I can think of a number of reasons, but hopefully he kills them all and that means he becomes an even greater Demon Lord for it.
Also, I thought Clayman was already a Demon Lord. Is he trying to become a...double Demon Lord?
Great Sage kind of explained this the previous episode. Rimuru qualified as a Demon Lord Seed after consuming the Orc Lord, who was also being prepped into becoming a Demon Lord Seed.
Anyone strong enough or with territory can call themselves a demon lord, the weak douchebag in the plague mask messing with the Orc Lord called himself one, right before he got eaten.
But whatever this does is different somehow. A "true Demon Lord."
Presumably, Clayman is a Demon Lord Seed already as well, or maybe just below. Either way, I guess he somehow hasn't killed enough personally, or killed enough at once. He's a manipulator, making others like Myulan do his dirty work. Rimuru always faces threats head on. Maybe that's the difference.

Then the writer should have come up with a better name.
You don't need hostages if you can kill 20,000 soldiers, especially not low value grunts.
Killing all those soldiers is already enough proof of his power, even without witnesses, since he made a whole army vanish.
Now, if he came out and explained to the remaining soldiers that he only killed just enough to revive his dead allies, I can understand why he would spare them for the below reason:
Peace.
Whether it's good or bad decision, doesn't mean the option isn't there if that's the path he wants to take. And it's not the same thing having first hand accounts than just rumors, also hostages can be used in negotiations if desired... that kingdom is not the only one that has stakes in this. He said it himself, he hasn't resigned from forming friendly relationships with human countries, he's balancing on a very thin line as it is.
I still dont believe Rimuru will kill those soldiers. I hope he does, but this has been the most vanilla isekai so far, and suddenly it goes full-Overlord? Eh.
He probably "kills" them, levels up with their souls, but then returns their souls to their bodies and nobody dies. Aka the most lamest outcome.
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
I wouldn't call it "full Overlord" if he kills them all though.
These two countries attacked Tempest under a false pretense, and are actively invading the monsters to steal their territory and to protect their trade monopoly. In Overlord, they were always the aggressor except in like...one instance and that was a single party of adventurers.
If he only kills half then that leaves the other half lying around for Clayman to swoop in. It doesn't sound like Rimuru wants that either.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
What a useless episode. It was nothing but talk and flashbacks, no action whatsoever, of any kind. Even the talk was partially stuff we already knew. I guess the event will be crucial for Rimuru, to rise to the status of a demon lord, but at the end of the day, it's not going to be any grand battle, is it? The human invaders could only do what they did with the advance party because of the anti-monster and anti-magic fields. Hinata's whole strategy was also based on that same thing, which is why she dominated the fight.
