Rimuru is clearly enraged. The subtle fist clench is a reaction we've never seen from him. He underestimated humanity in this world, and is finally seeing the horrible things humans are capable of, and how his misguided Japanese-centric civilized rules have hurt people he cares about.Originally Posted by MFauli
But he's also a ruler. He's taken advice from the dwarf king on being an effective ruler.
He has to present a calm and collected face in front of his citizens. He owes it to them to think about this responsibly. Rimuru has to maintain an image of control in order to make the best decisions on their behalf. It's just usually been stupid shit like what clothing or building style to create. Now it is "Do I make humans our enemies so that the people I'm responsible for don't die on their knees trying to protect their kids?"
It's a one of the good reason why I kinda hate Overlord. Ainz' attitude gets adjusted all the time to be in line with his persona by the system itself. Rimuru doesn't get that "benefit."
