So yeah, after my demon summoning, the demon chieftains all begged me to summon their demons as well. And to be honest, it wasn’t a great idea. The aboriginal demons were one of the most powerful entities in the entire world, and bringing 16 of them into the world? That was just asking for trouble. But then I’d make an enemy of the demonkin. Or worse, they’d start harassing me or buttering me up.
The four new primordial demons that I summoned were some of the most powerful beings I had ever encountered. Analyzing them with my demon eyes and universal understanding got me up to speed on just how powerful they were.
Okay dude, show me all about them.
Glady, although I’d prefer it if you didn’t call me dude363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLh5gcVpjJ
Well, what am I supposed to call you then?363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1gyVx06A2
I don’t know about you, but the name Nora sounds nice.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXAmCmpky3
Fine, Nora then.
Very well, I Nora, Lord of Magical Knowledge will share what I have learned about the demons under your command.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikyXA2CirO
The golden demon, or Auren, is the pinnacle of demonkind. He was the first demon to start fighting, therefore the most experienced in combat. His prowess is unbelievable, and he is revered as the ‘Grand Demon Duke’. Auren is even more powerful than Amber, with Z+ rank proficiency in every attribute of magic, as well as impossibly strong intrinsic skills such as Z+ rank Demon Eyes, and Z+ rank Mana Recovery. His true strength lies in his experience.
The Black demon is not the most experienced fighter, but in the demon's immortality, the difference between Halien and Auren is arbitrary. The two are evenly matched in power due to Halien’s cunning. He is known for his underhand and sneaky tactics. This has led him to also receive the title ‘Grand Demon Duke’.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeOxumNJdq
The White demon, Lena, is also very experienced. She fights more straightforwardly and is comparable to Auren in battle styles. She balances out Halien’s battle style perfectly, which is one of the reasons why she affiliates and cooperates with him.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D3mgcNtu5
The Silver demon, Claudia, is known as the potential. She is supposedly the master of brute strength and can plow through enemies like churning butter. But she lacks direction, and by that I mean initiative. She is unable to devote herself, despite her power and intelligence, to any goal.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh47OhVoiq4
Huh, that’s interesting. By the way, Nora, how are you so knowledgeable about them?363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDo4eIQdLP
I am engineered to be knowledgeable about elemental magic, and demons as the representative of elemental magic, fall under my sphere of knowledge. Of course, this is just my assumption based on existing knowledge coming from books and such you have read, as well as information that your demon eyes have found. One of my derivative skills is thought acceleration and supreme organization, which I used in effect on these summaries.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeWi8EX7I2
Well then, can’t you just do that with other subjects, not just magic?363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdQfpo9xWR
Of course, and I already do. It's just that I am naturally geared towards interesting magic, which is one of the reasons why I am so proficient at it. But universal knowledge concerning magic, such as fundamental laws and incantations I knew as part of my baseline. Universal Understanding isn’t exactly knowing EVERYTHING about a certain subject, more like having another brain that thinks for you, is geared towards a certain subject, and has everything it needs to accurately interpret, and use knowledge about a certain subject. Of course, there are derivative skills that are necessary for all universal understanding denominations. Those skills can be used to amass knowledge for other subjects, and then universal understanding could evolve to include different denominations.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpGCWHnDCf
So you're saying that if I expose you to enough knowledge or experience, you can learn to like maybe be good at other things as well?363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRjOjfScPl
Yes, what do you have in mind?
Particularly? Um, like politics, strategy, and relationships?
Well, I’m already becoming quite proficient at the first two spheres, and I expect after a bit more study to evolve to include those. As for the last request, I don't think I can help you.
Wait, why not?
Simple, I do not have enough experience.
I deflated. Ugh, damn it! What do you mean by experience?
Well for one, I haven’t had enough chances to observe any.
What do you mean? I have plenty of friends! Right?!?
Oh is that what you mean? Friendship? Well then maybe I can help out.
Wait, what did you think I meant?363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlddwBBkSb
Romantic relationships363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQKTlsgirn
Romantic relationships? Huh? Wait what made you think that?363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVM3XLFGgq
I may not be Universal Understanding (Romantic Relationships) but I can see what’s going on.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWskOHJ0vZS
Wait! What is going on!363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eoUvddQUG
Help? Have you been living under a rock?363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RLkXKLGnH
What do you mean?363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfx5MvbsBY
Never mind, you’ll never get it, it isn’t my place.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffcXR0WorQ
Wait Nora! Tell me!363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WjKjlqEyB
Nope!363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PXj0fQpjk
Damn it!363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVpuBrEQZZ
My thoughts and mind churned back into reality. I now knew all about my new summoned demons. Now I had to do something about this summoning situation. Using my existing knowledge, I knew that summoning all of the aboriginal demons would first unite all of the demon tribes under me. The demon tribes would be utterly loyal and devoted to me, as long as I could control their deities. In fact, they might make me a deity as well. That'll spell trouble.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1NfEyTSL6
But it will also invite trouble from other human countries that fear and hate demons (and demons). I wanted to be friends and have good relations with those countries, but it was obvious that most countries (especially those with slaves) might not want to interact with me. And I didn’t exactly like talking with countries that owned slaves.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSBmbwvLeJ
So maybe it was alright that I summoned the demons. I could have 16 demonkin tribes behind my back, with that maybe I could deal with the humans. The demonkin might form a church of mine, and that could help fight off religious conflicts with the north and south churches. In fact, it's the churches that caused most of the discrimination and negative thoughts about demonkin. So as long as I could deal with it, then everything else could be sorted through without much conflict. But I still found it hard to believe that any country would trust another country that had aboriginal demons under their complete control.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6AbDBPcbG
So yes I could summon the demons, and those would be under my control, but we had the future to think about.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJMbPcgK8k
I collapsed in a bed in a tent after avoiding all the demons. I needed to sleep on it.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfPsfnBPhk
The next morning I woke up and dressed. I immediately stepped out of the tent to be greeted by a crowd. A crowd of different demonkin clamored and asked me the same question. “Will you summon our gods!”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGobf4XRXJ
Gah, I did think about that, and finally, I got an answer together. “Okay, okay let me tell you what I decided! But only with the tribe’s representatives.”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6iMFbWhBR
Everyone started to try and find the chieftains. Each of the tribes’ chieftains was present in the crowd, and the crowd parted to separate them. All of them bowed to me.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOahlxqxoz
Okay, let’s go. “Alright, I’m gonna do something. I will summon your demon-”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvUqNNNj9Z
I was interrupted by a scream of happiness. “Calm down! Calm down! I’m not done.”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTlsWuIckY
“But in exchange, you have to swear that you’ll support me and my country. I would also like you to consolidate your religions.”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3iXk46q4Z
“Just swear support? We’ll swear loyalty!”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0bcQ1CJ8C
“That’s right, from now on the demonkin continent is united under you! You are even greater than our gods! You are like the grand god! Our religion is also under you!”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8PfBIWBBT
“Tephit! Tephit! Tephit!”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexBPRC0zCL
They all screamed my name.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss25bpfha0
“Gah…” I sighed. “But we need proper arrangements! Like a plan! So let me and the chieftains speak a little please!”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjrQAJQ6Qf
It took two hours for everyone to calm down enough. I brokered a deal where I’d travel to the other demonkin’s cities and summon their demons there363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZYzZ7MqG4
Rose horses were pretty quick so the trip could be done in a month. The only problem was that I had to leave the demons here to appease the tribes (let them spend time with their gods). I wasn’t sure I could cement the loyalty of the newly summoned demons if I left them here while I spent time in Tephit. Technically Tephit would absorb the demonkin continent, and it would become part of my country, but a sea between the two regions is not something to be taken lightly.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIyeLIoqUG
If I could get a regular ferry or shipping route between the Mahillia and Marian that could make communication easier. Hmm? Maybe I could develop a spell or skill for teleportation?363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAig4IWpcg
The answer, it is possible.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LXs6K12fg
Hm? Nora, is there an instant transport spell?363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TSlaZDrFk
Yes, there is a skill called spatial domination, but it is a physical magic skill.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoc2zGy5hgr
Oh, so I can’t learn it…363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTtGO3vEe5
As far as I know, yes, but there is a dark magic spell called Super summoning.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahnb561U4S
Really? Wait, how do you know this?363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv2VT80Zem
I analyzed the dark magic book you had hidden, using principles discussed, and to my knowledge, I was able to craft this spell. It involves a rather complicated magic circle, but if you make the circle out of permanent material or enchant an object, it could work more efficiently.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yN9GF2hBQ
Huh? So it's like teleportation points?363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFctsviNMLo
I suppose so, yes, I have made designs adjusted for different loads and types of materials transported.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkgTqYFdND
Nice, well then I’ll establish a network then. Wait, this could completely undermine the whole way transportation works!363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0upgsibd47
Perhaps, but the circles require a gigantic amount of mana to operate, especially to transport organic matter.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCmfFdNRwn
Oh, so then like could I make a mana battery for each of the gates to operate on?
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRteBI44S6q
Hmmm, yes that could work, but it will still require a ton of mana. For you there is no problem.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi4FZFXaxf
Alright! Let’s do it.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnSaJ84NXu
Very well, I shall compute the needed supplies.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OsnEcIzWq
Okay, I had a semi-plan, now I just needed to rest for a bit. I had set up camp with the horses and Traya halfway to the Blue tribe of Cobalyon. I was just about to fall asleep when I heard a large thump.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4BobuRt7v
Raising my head, I saw the darkened interior of the tent. Looking up, I saw a young girl, she had pink hair and looked about 11?363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyyygHiCw7
“Hello! Silvi! It is I, the God of Prophecy!” she said.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj10vRAoOfy
“Huh?” I said, “The god of prophecy? The gate guy’s friend?”
“That is correct! And you are Silvi Tephit!”
“Last I checked.”
“Very well, then as a divine being, I shall bestow upon you my blessing!”
“Okay,” I said calmly.
She stopped for a moment. “Huh?” she said, incredulous, “How can you take this so calmly? I’m a god!”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB7VbcBCwq
“Oh, uh yeah I know. It's just that I’m super tired right now and frankly I don’t have much energy to deal with anything. This demon summoning crap is making my head hurt.”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy1eUqpUrX
She deflated, “Ah, so I’m not impressive enough for you… No matter! I shall show you my power! Behold! My advice!”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTttYZQZQTL
“Okay, shoot,” I replied.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFOb8DiFxt
“Ha! I have great news for you! You made the right move!”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rfUIR7GTX
“Huh?”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgb3l61Eyl
“By agreeing to summon the tribes’ demons, you have secured a nice future… Well maybe? I’m giving it a 88% chance.”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpPbOB67SX
“What! So there’s a 12% chance it was the wrong choice…”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjESBWr9ol
“Well, yes…. But the good greatly outweighs the bad, in that you have my assurance…”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblq5ZhcRJz
“Really? Why should I believe you?”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxTUhclBqk
“What do you mean! I am the god of prophecy!”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG8MpCU6Yv
“I know, I mean, only a god could get through my defenses, but still. Why would you tell me the truth?”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6se8ONWm9
“Fair point, you're probably wondering why I, the great god, am offering you free advice…”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgCXglSivH
“Yep,” I said.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD2zOcjrDD
“Simple, I already helped my friend out, and now I’m caught up in his scheme. I am trying to vie for the best outcome, and helping you enables that to happen!”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTQeYniVX9
“I see, so you're worried about getting in trouble, so you're helping me, how self-interested. Well, what did I expect from a god?” I wondered.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnx7NRNu3A
She got really flustered now, “Hey, hey, look I don’t want prohibition any more than anyone else, do you want my advice or not?”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zLw8zwxk6
“Fine, what is it?”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLSFSJGnU4
“Hmph, you could show a little more respect, you know.” She said, “First of all, It was a good call agreeing to the demon summoning. It will put powerful subordinates into your hands.”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUPrCEExdQ
“Sure it will, but if even one disobeys, then the world might end for a lot of people.”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y6P5IhufR
“That’s true, but I detect no possibility of that happening. Zero!”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiBfdtSNqy
“What! Really!”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEyrHdqh4r
“Yep, and as a god, I swear upon my title.”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NIRkOTR29
“Well, that’s a load off my back.”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHZpu9lJoN
“I recommend summoning the demons and leaving them to act as governors and reserve soldiers. Meanwhile, you should take the demons you summoned now back to your homeland, they can serve as a personal guard and army.”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFpHeW3xhs
“What makes you say that?”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8vJZQppOA
“I just foresee that maintaining a personal relationship with those 5 will lead to the best outcome.”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgu2fhkRN4
“How do these ‘predictions’ of yours work anyway? Can’t you just tell me what’s gonna happen?”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDjMMKvGch
“That would defeat the purpose. If I tell you what happens, then it won’t happen and just be replaced by something else! And that other thing is much worse!”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgt4a3Hq2W
“Huh, so you're lazy and mysterious,” I said mockingly.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszioWU7A6S
“You dare!” She said, getting worked up. At the last moment, she seemed to compose herself. “Well, if I do, I will have to use an excessive amount of divinity. The world god would surely notice.”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau59G2g252
“Avoiding blame again, how predictable.”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow2igjKlcs
“Hey! You wanna accuse me of being predictable.” She said, “Look, my powers don’t work instantaneously, if you want that then ask the god of predictions. I look far into the future, at ‘complicated’ things. So my advice is relevant throughout time, so take it!”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYh6qOVJQN
“Fine, summon demons, and like take some with me. Anything else?”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRobMzKiWEe
“Let’s see, well you are doing a good job on your own. Well, then incorporate the continent into your country, it’ll do you good.”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdE0uOSouK
“Okay.”363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtAtTOyTdl
“Well, that’s it. Thank you for the chat, if I stay here any longer, the world god will get mad at me, so I must be taking my leave. Bye!” She shimmered and disappeared.363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiYeWJv2TV
I yawned, “Well that was uncalled for…” I said before falling asleep363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33EcxoC76f
