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 dude411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU33aBUETFV
Well, what am I supposed to call you then?411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk94yGBEI3
I don’t know about you, but the name Nora sounds nice.411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaJjtOlEiN
Fine, Nora then.
Very well, I Nora, Lord of Magical Knowledge will share what I have learned about the demons under your command.411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i8dnv9Ubn
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’.411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRH0fwjsU30
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.411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5DxQyG3tS
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.411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYAzrEUjzH
Huh, that’s interesting. By the way, Nora, how are you so knowledgeable about them?411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kIRPNxxbL
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.411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC4Bjp7Mvu
Well then, can’t you just do that with other subjects, not just magic?411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5b0lGX2Oq
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.411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc10lheEwM6
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?411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKxzQnW4uQ
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?411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZFYJ1dntt
Romantic relationships411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkS69VndHt
Romantic relationships? Huh? Wait what made you think that?411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9GBTEonCt
I may not be Universal Understanding (Romantic Relationships) but I can see what’s going on.411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrjsA2fInN
Wait! What is going on!411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT7PuKsbAA
Help? Have you been living under a rock?411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOPQH5PaTB
What do you mean?411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf2IzF0zQM
Never mind, you’ll never get it, it isn’t my place.411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTtufgit5j
Wait Nora! Tell me!411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEhpDwHug5
Nope!411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPwF2QdR7z
Damn it!411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTFnqTQ5xL
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.411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpN7zlE6TlQ
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.411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOVMeG1Kbg
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.411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50qSxcbDy6
So yes I could summon the demons, and those would be under my control, but we had the future to think about.411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyWDDxNvS9
I collapsed in a bed in a tent after avoiding all the demons. I needed to sleep on it.411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOYGZamZtt
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!”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO27FZrFez
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.”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aji95EjOv
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.411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIC3NJunpZ
Okay, let’s go. “Alright, I’m gonna do something. I will summon your demon-”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp8eTVSvR2
I was interrupted by a scream of happiness. “Calm down! Calm down! I’m not done.”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qQlEGw4HN
“But in exchange, you have to swear that you’ll support me and my country. I would also like you to consolidate your religions.”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqPJDWqwqJ
“Just swear support? We’ll swear loyalty!”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54bsOXWmjs
“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!”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0lWXYlJYY
“Tephit! Tephit! Tephit!”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBddorxbhSK
They all screamed my name.411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksc3hRbgYf
“Gah…” I sighed. “But we need proper arrangements! Like a plan! So let me and the chieftains speak a little please!”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcirCkRX41
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 there411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH2HZdFVFo
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.411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsR9anvNtq7
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?411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVG8HQ7Xd8
The answer, it is possible.411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSVNcLUc1N
Hm? Nora, is there an instant transport spell?411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycLFY7bgaj
Yes, there is a skill called spatial domination, but it is a physical magic skill.411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRIJQ364lQ
Oh, so I can’t learn it…411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBfIISHwWL
As far as I know, yes, but there is a dark magic spell called Super summoning.411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCujgsXqvLM
Really? Wait, how do you know this?411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF4dPjJ6Zd
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.411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGPr3Xdfxb
Huh? So it's like teleportation points?411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5OpgldndW
I suppose so, yes, I have made designs adjusted for different loads and types of materials transported.411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygk8KxjswM
Nice, well then I’ll establish a network then. Wait, this could completely undermine the whole way transportation works!411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSenNO8hTVr
Perhaps, but the circles require a gigantic amount of mana to operate, especially to transport organic matter.411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA25lJpKrn
Oh, so then like could I make a mana battery for each of the gates to operate on?
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRPeYazVqk
Hmmm, yes that could work, but it will still require a ton of mana. For you there is no problem.411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1DdAg6otO
Alright! Let’s do it.411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimpu3B2nLn
Very well, I shall compute the needed supplies.411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XcyUxRKjI
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.411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQP7lFBNVL
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?411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeAZHNA5Bz
“Hello! Silvi! It is I, the God of Prophecy!” she said.411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdhbjuC5mk
“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!”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdImuxgKG0u
“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.”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRIbrYpqvl
She deflated, “Ah, so I’m not impressive enough for you… No matter! I shall show you my power! Behold! My advice!”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKYxP3H9Hy
“Okay, shoot,” I replied.411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixhMfrooXQ
“Ha! I have great news for you! You made the right move!”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryt7vWAte5
“Huh?”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzNiDToSqJ
“By agreeing to summon the tribes’ demons, you have secured a nice future… Well maybe? I’m giving it a 88% chance.”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEAUDGUBAs
“What! So there’s a 12% chance it was the wrong choice…”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ4OV2E1Gw
“Well, yes…. But the good greatly outweighs the bad, in that you have my assurance…”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOpN9QfkC8
“Really? Why should I believe you?”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8DNwj1thg
“What do you mean! I am the god of prophecy!”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW7AUx8jpx
“I know, I mean, only a god could get through my defenses, but still. Why would you tell me the truth?”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISGrWzSuU7
“Fair point, you're probably wondering why I, the great god, am offering you free advice…”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwv6CSf53u
“Yep,” I said.411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9JPe1xCZr
“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!”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60mtZ9wlD4
“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.411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07B3NIb1Pc
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?”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡju6alHAqwW
“Fine, what is it?”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfylH17GQjv
“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.”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzCQpwUbcJ
“Sure it will, but if even one disobeys, then the world might end for a lot of people.”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDF5QNcKoH
“That’s true, but I detect no possibility of that happening. Zero!”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoihYl4pynL
“What! Really!”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuY9Si3EfA
“Yep, and as a god, I swear upon my title.”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBI9ySgwzT
“Well, that’s a load off my back.”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsUQO6DhCK
“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.”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt3iP9YVx7
“What makes you say that?”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbqfiDoBZa
“I just foresee that maintaining a personal relationship with those 5 will lead to the best outcome.”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdpJ6DAiZ7
“How do these ‘predictions’ of yours work anyway? Can’t you just tell me what’s gonna happen?”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2w0I1qEW1e
“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!”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4xJMsevgo
“Huh, so you're lazy and mysterious,” I said mockingly.411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN3I9GMvBD
“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.”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7mOYeF6Ug
“Avoiding blame again, how predictable.”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPk8XD9hG4
“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!”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSneehOR2Dq
“Fine, summon demons, and like take some with me. Anything else?”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUejj58zJS
“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.”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeX1vMfkGW
“Okay.”411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOm45IDeZtd
“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.411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRSYnipujY
I yawned, “Well that was uncalled for…” I said before falling asleep411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9jzLGb0xu
