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 dude414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBZve1MKzd
Well, what am I supposed to call you then?414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUcSIysNR8
I don’t know about you, but the name Nora sounds nice.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFQPEftgRR
Fine, Nora then.
Very well, I Nora, Lord of Magical Knowledge will share what I have learned about the demons under your command.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzFhmv0RIB
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’.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubVyv1DF6A
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.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDubFUKgpGI
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.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeWd0V2c1c
Huh, that’s interesting. By the way, Nora, how are you so knowledgeable about them?414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3OmJiRym4
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.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeTcEmCbk2
Well then, can’t you just do that with other subjects, not just magic?414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY5pGbSsET
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.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeCT0ZG69Y
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?414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBeRni6H8E
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?414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YqaE2nToR
Romantic relationships414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWhx62j6Zw
Romantic relationships? Huh? Wait what made you think that?414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHaCVArHBy
I may not be Universal Understanding (Romantic Relationships) but I can see what’s going on.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMWPXQQ8bp
Wait! What is going on!414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5L0qjBGRD
Help? Have you been living under a rock?414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbh6GimB8UD
What do you mean?414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEO82z1u8M
Never mind, you’ll never get it, it isn’t my place.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf1yDUIA6Q
Wait Nora! Tell me!414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmyFaQJVlB
Nope!414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPH9OWZYE1
Damn it!414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRS3XOr0Qu
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.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8756DdEzE
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.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHF8q5nGF5
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.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZqIMyzTBo
So yes I could summon the demons, and those would be under my control, but we had the future to think about.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYLANKRZVG
I collapsed in a bed in a tent after avoiding all the demons. I needed to sleep on it.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY3JJlFiGo
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!”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w3o48QjFH
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.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDXNR02Opm
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.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvwR39lyXY
Okay, let’s go. “Alright, I’m gonna do something. I will summon your demon-”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWalF6CBO6i
I was interrupted by a scream of happiness. “Calm down! Calm down! I’m not done.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVhW0VclsZ
“But in exchange, you have to swear that you’ll support me and my country. I would also like you to consolidate your religions.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYooJ12Tu5
“Just swear support? We’ll swear loyalty!”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGLBSyXPfm
“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!”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0MivvHFz5
“Tephit! Tephit! Tephit!”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOexE7gpJ5
They all screamed my name.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f4RQsjeZb
“Gah…” I sighed. “But we need proper arrangements! Like a plan! So let me and the chieftains speak a little please!”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eViw64JWx
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 there414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxlwuzg9go
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.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjfStw9FcV
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?414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbvd2eLY3x
The answer, it is possible.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUvRVqWJTS
Hm? Nora, is there an instant transport spell?414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nn5G0kbuG
Yes, there is a skill called spatial domination, but it is a physical magic skill.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsmrWg0S6l
Oh, so I can’t learn it…414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QIL89h6eN
As far as I know, yes, but there is a dark magic spell called Super summoning.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7fo662rx2
Really? Wait, how do you know this?414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWW6baaV25
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.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmtE5PLY4p
Huh? So it's like teleportation points?414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIT80mqSVt
I suppose so, yes, I have made designs adjusted for different loads and types of materials transported.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTZfbYKGeD
Nice, well then I’ll establish a network then. Wait, this could completely undermine the whole way transportation works!414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nA5rxnYEI
Perhaps, but the circles require a gigantic amount of mana to operate, especially to transport organic matter.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAZxmK92to
Oh, so then like could I make a mana battery for each of the gates to operate on?
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HXX9NFaqy
Hmmm, yes that could work, but it will still require a ton of mana. For you there is no problem.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo2zO5QX0T
Alright! Let’s do it.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvyQ7acXo9
Very well, I shall compute the needed supplies.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf9TZZgoM6
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.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdAqXZc90d
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?414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xUteig82F
“Hello! Silvi! It is I, the God of Prophecy!” she said.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIPPhUirIU
“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!”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCthx77dGd
“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.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEmSgE23tu
She deflated, “Ah, so I’m not impressive enough for you… No matter! I shall show you my power! Behold! My advice!”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oCfQLIrQm
“Okay, shoot,” I replied.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFSCdCvJ7C
“Ha! I have great news for you! You made the right move!”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tRrgSh6F7
“Huh?”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr2faVQkZH
“By agreeing to summon the tribes’ demons, you have secured a nice future… Well maybe? I’m giving it a 88% chance.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfysyDwwkz
“What! So there’s a 12% chance it was the wrong choice…”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMWlDo6z9k
“Well, yes…. But the good greatly outweighs the bad, in that you have my assurance…”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBZrXJ3X2l
“Really? Why should I believe you?”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxim9JWesIz
“What do you mean! I am the god of prophecy!”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvQz4Aa5K9
“I know, I mean, only a god could get through my defenses, but still. Why would you tell me the truth?”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRmeqaCB9c
“Fair point, you're probably wondering why I, the great god, am offering you free advice…”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGL4CVXov6
“Yep,” I said.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0Fk3v5Szu
“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!”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq8kysQGgj
“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.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhBGztZrlc
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?”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb1Et2SBMy
“Fine, what is it?”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVepu9ehTkq
“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.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlsTlsi2Jd
“Sure it will, but if even one disobeys, then the world might end for a lot of people.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4KgjVsqw6
“That’s true, but I detect no possibility of that happening. Zero!”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1VUOVQmU5
“What! Really!”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8L0HmHQkYo
“Yep, and as a god, I swear upon my title.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsx0G96IxE
“Well, that’s a load off my back.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyp69uNzXZ
“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.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡev1DErMrwC
“What makes you say that?”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3vWMFDsMR
“I just foresee that maintaining a personal relationship with those 5 will lead to the best outcome.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc53aJ8g5TB
“How do these ‘predictions’ of yours work anyway? Can’t you just tell me what’s gonna happen?”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90RPyPaf8e
“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!”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm79EgZkDx
“Huh, so you're lazy and mysterious,” I said mockingly.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXcDDbHpJj
“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.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuV3HSzvmn
“Avoiding blame again, how predictable.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaUCOiKsAe
“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!”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cUPAxTXAi
“Fine, summon demons, and like take some with me. Anything else?”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIieBhIZAn
“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.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eG5FZJDMl
“Okay.”414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkKr3pUy9e
“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.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlGBwLRzhU
I yawned, “Well that was uncalled for…” I said before falling asleep414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacdUW11Gyx
