The official website of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime has revealed preview stills and the synopsis for Season 3 Episode 23, titled The Labyrinth is Opened, and it will feature the highly-anticipated debut of Rimuru's dungeon, which consists of a hundred floors of obstacles filled with powerful boss creatures, including the legendary Veldora the Storm Dragon himself! This will be the highlight of Rimuru's festival, so fans should be excited as the isekai anime heads to its season finale.
The previous episode featured Gobta going against Lightspeed Hero, Masayuki, in the finals fo the martial arts tournament. Unsurprisingly, Masayuki is not really a hero in reality as he is paralyzed in fear and is no match against Gobta, who unleashed his latest technique. However, Gobta knocked himself out by charging the area too rapidly, forcing Masayuki to quickly forfeit before he could be declared the winer, in order to avoid fighting Rimuru. This move made Gobta the winner of the match, and it was revealed that Gobta's reward is simply just harsher training than before.

What will happen in That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 3 Episode 23?
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 3 is expected to adapt Chapters 116 and 117 of the source material, so fans can expect to see some familiar characters from the first anime season of the series. Eren and her party are expected to appear, and other parties are also expected to attempt to overcome the dungeon's obstacles, so we can expect Masayuki's party and the Flowing Swordsman, Gaiye, who participated in the martial arts tournament, to show up.
The rules of the dungeon will likely be explained early in the episode, especially how the resurrection bracelets function. Rimuru and his team will use their new projection technology for the parties' dungeon exploration as they try to battle monsters, evade traps, and acquire loot. This will allow the crowd in the arena to spectate what the adventurers will go through. However, Ramiris and others may have changed some things in the dungeon without Rimuru's knowledge, so we can expect Rimuru to be surprised.
The official synopsis for That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 3 Episode 23 reads:
Rimuru's underground labyrinth (dungeon) has finally been unveiled. The hero Masayuki, who was recruited as a poster boy, also begins exploring. After the festival, Rimuru has one last big job waiting for him.

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime anime is based on the isekai fantasy light novel series of the same title (Japanese: Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken) by author Fuse and illustrator Mitz Vah, which begins with a 37-year-old salaryman named Satoru Mikami, who's stabbed by a robber and wakes up in another world.

Crunchyroll shared a description for That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 3:
Rimuru has officially become a Demon Lord after defeating Clayman. Following Walpurgis, the Demon Lords’ banquet, Rimuru’s domain is expanded to include the entire Great Forest of Jura. Anticipating a flood of representatives from all races showing up to pay their respects, Rimuru decides to throw a festival to commemorate the opening of Tempest, using it as an opportunity to gain new citizens and present Demon Lord Rimuru to the world. Meanwhile, in the Holy Empire of Lubelius, home base of the monster-hating cult of Luminism, Holy Knight Captain Hinata receives a message from Rimuru. But the message is actually a fabricated declaration of war sent by some unknown party. Upon learning that Hinata is heading for Tempest, Rimuru makes a decision… Thus begins a new challenge for Rimuru, striving to distinguish friend from foe in a pursuit of the ideal nation where humans and monsters can prosper together.
