Void's POV:
"I choose 3."
[Conditions met. Contract option four selected.]
3rd Person POV:
As the contract was formed, a strange pulse emanated across the world—it was Voice of the World (V.O.W.).
{An anomaly has been created in the world with the potential to create, sustain, or destroy it. Bestowing individual 'Void' with the skill
"Huh?" Void muttered in confusion.
Rimuru, equally shocked, asked, "You caused this?" before suddenly collapsing unconscious.
(Four days later)
After waking up, Rimuru decided to test his side of the contract. He first entered Void's inner world, then experimented with Concept of Destruction on a tree. The results were astonishing—the tree, along with all its magical and atomic components, was completely erased, even the severed pieces.
Realizing the sheer destructive potential of this ability, Rimuru vowed to use it only as a last resort. Meanwhile, Void was deeply impressed that Rimuru could wield such power.

(During Rimuru's summoning to Walpurgis)
As Rimuru stepped through the strange portal, Void—still invisible—decided to sneak along. However, the moment they arrived on the other side, Void was immediately caught and forcefully made visible by Guy Crimson.
For the first time, Void's appearance was revealed—a pitch-black orb with a strange purple symbol glowing on its surface.
Guy Crimson narrowed his eyes. "Who... no, what are you?"
Void panicked. "Uh, well, I'm an orb and... RIMURU, HELP ME!" he shouted, quickly hiding behind the slime.
Rimuru, utterly stunned, could only blink in confusion.
"You. New guy. Explain," Guy demanded, his gaze unwavering.
Rimuru, still processing everything, almost blurted out "Oh dad—wait, wrong script," before correcting himself. "Um, so this is my friend, Void, who apparently snuck in without my notice. Mister…?"
"Hmm, I see. Crimson. Guy Crimson."
From there, the meeting proceeded as it normally would—except for one thing.
Guy Crimson kept staring at Void.
Or more precisely—at the strange symbol on his surface.
