**MAJOR SPOILERS for That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime from here on out**
Plot Summary
Satoru Mikami is killed in a stabbing accident and wakes up in a fantasy world as a slime. In this new world, they befriend the “Storm Dragon” Veldora Tempest, who gives the name Rimuru Tempest to the slime. This gives Rimuru plenty of new powers and abilities that allow them to befriend various monsters throughout the land and become a bit of a legend in other countries.
Rimuru meets another human transported to this world in Shizue and helps her pass on after being separated from the spirit Ifrit. That causes her to begin dying, but she is then devoured by Rimuru to allow her to stay with Rimuru and give them a human form. Following that and a few more battles, Rimuru and their allies create Tempest, a nation of monsters. As the nation begins to grow in fame and infamy, trouble begins to come crawling out to mess with Rimuru and Tempest.
The Invasion of Tempest
While Rimuru was off creating diplomatic relationships with other countries, bad things were happening back at home. Clayman’s double agent Mjurran comes to Tempest after tagging along with Yohn — who was unaware of who she actually was — and creates a barrier that negates any magical power within the kingdom. Along with that, the Kingdom of Falmuth makes another barrier that seals everyone inside Tempest, leading to the slaughter of many of its citizens. By the time Rimuru gets back after surviving a near-death experience, the damage has already been done.
Rimuru Becomes A Demon Lord
In order to try and save everyone that was lost after the invasion, Rimuru learns of a way that they can perform a mass resurrection, but they must amass a lot of power in order to evolve into a Demon Lord. To do that, Rimuru massacres the Falmuth army and absorbs their souls. Rimuru is able to complete the evolution, summon a Primordial Demon named Diablo as a new subordinate, and manages to resurrect all those that were lost during the invasion.

Mjurran – alive. Summoned the barrier that negated everyone in Tempest’s magical powers in order to start the invasion. After being captured, she confessed to Rimuru about everything regarding the invasion. Rimuru then destroyed her connection to Clayman in order to free her.

What Could Happen Season 2 Part 2?
With Rimuru still only just becoming a Demon Lord, the ramifications of this evolution will certainly be felt in the second half of Season 2. How will this sudden power change affect the newly created relationships between other nations and Tempest? Perhaps the biggest question is how long will it take for Rimuru to strike back against Clayman?
There are also questions about specific characters such as Milim who helped cause the destruction of the Kingdom of Eurazania. What exactly is Rimuru going to do about this situation between two of their allies? When will Hinata strike again? It’s unlikely she’ll be satisfied knowing Rimuru got away in their last encounter and at some point will surely show up again to settle their score. With all of these things that could potentially happen with what’s left of Season 2, it’s shaping up to finish with a bang and a lot of excitement!
