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 dude413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kxmAAT1Mm
Well, what am I supposed to call you then?413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3JUOCeZr6
I don’t know about you, but the name Nora sounds nice.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYVXhMiwFN
Fine, Nora then.
Very well, I Nora, Lord of Magical Knowledge will share what I have learned about the demons under your command.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZycKLLm29
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’.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxObIs3e45I
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.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjE97BnN0e
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.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRaQmAtwE9
Huh, that’s interesting. By the way, Nora, how are you so knowledgeable about them?413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ140gv7Ym7H
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.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QqwiIhj6Z
Well then, can’t you just do that with other subjects, not just magic?413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKny7fiKHQY
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.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEdMGrDLrf
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?413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy2wBAkMqF
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?413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDneIUQaDaI
Romantic relationships413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYa5zS4J9Qv
Romantic relationships? Huh? Wait what made you think that?413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvsRFIQjPm
I may not be Universal Understanding (Romantic Relationships) but I can see what’s going on.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEqbKd8nt6
Wait! What is going on!413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXI04eWjZI
Help? Have you been living under a rock?413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBqHo1Rjl1
What do you mean?413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyaBzvrpCn
Never mind, you’ll never get it, it isn’t my place.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DWx71rMGB
Wait Nora! Tell me!413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Tdbj8lZtM
Nope!413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnTeomGZ4I
Damn it!413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMsJMRH70F
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.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUj6tu7nlX
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.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsLMo1j9aS
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.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvzB0tthcJ
So yes I could summon the demons, and those would be under my control, but we had the future to think about.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQZylUIZGm
I collapsed in a bed in a tent after avoiding all the demons. I needed to sleep on it.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2wtF76StI
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!”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGsXbXLRg9
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.”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmL6mylfYsm
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.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMuVS0SMDB
Okay, let’s go. “Alright, I’m gonna do something. I will summon your demon-”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM9bOJJ05a
I was interrupted by a scream of happiness. “Calm down! Calm down! I’m not done.”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSc7YNHgzx
“But in exchange, you have to swear that you’ll support me and my country. I would also like you to consolidate your religions.”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO4K7kbc0F
“Just swear support? We’ll swear loyalty!”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ915qmdJmZE
“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!”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUihxcRvFO
“Tephit! Tephit! Tephit!”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFaXTOLqKl
They all screamed my name.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIltFIEW7vD
“Gah…” I sighed. “But we need proper arrangements! Like a plan! So let me and the chieftains speak a little please!”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWC2wF5nax
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 there413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZdU7Y7w88
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.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fCJHnJQ7k
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?413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoMTrMP783
The answer, it is possible.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeY8Skr5u3
Hm? Nora, is there an instant transport spell?413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5HQgel7ii
Yes, there is a skill called spatial domination, but it is a physical magic skill.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9uX6JYlR6
Oh, so I can’t learn it…413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNhLhCFqjd
As far as I know, yes, but there is a dark magic spell called Super summoning.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXFYtrkRLW
Really? Wait, how do you know this?413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChZaEtlWru
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.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVFTb38cIa
Huh? So it's like teleportation points?413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUQIHKQEJG
I suppose so, yes, I have made designs adjusted for different loads and types of materials transported.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZYixo63HY
Nice, well then I’ll establish a network then. Wait, this could completely undermine the whole way transportation works!413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLMZ5Gg0mI
Perhaps, but the circles require a gigantic amount of mana to operate, especially to transport organic matter.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfnYIKmIMu
Oh, so then like could I make a mana battery for each of the gates to operate on?
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLfyH8mD13
Hmmm, yes that could work, but it will still require a ton of mana. For you there is no problem.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYnkNwobMA
Alright! Let’s do it.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YfvXRdAKP
Very well, I shall compute the needed supplies.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNQ4aH4noK
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.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K9TMpxlnW
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?413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsns9HdXZ1t
“Hello! Silvi! It is I, the God of Prophecy!” she said.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXjovKqbVO
“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!”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35HtR8jE6p
“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.”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPhRYrRXxY
She deflated, “Ah, so I’m not impressive enough for you… No matter! I shall show you my power! Behold! My advice!”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmbJBlcK6w
“Okay, shoot,” I replied.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlezwINuM8w
“Ha! I have great news for you! You made the right move!”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVs9aW0N9fS
“Huh?”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jKQdlUgRz
“By agreeing to summon the tribes’ demons, you have secured a nice future… Well maybe? I’m giving it a 88% chance.”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3HxViG8GE
“What! So there’s a 12% chance it was the wrong choice…”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEVeefQ6eO
“Well, yes…. But the good greatly outweighs the bad, in that you have my assurance…”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ3qtx2sMU
“Really? Why should I believe you?”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNF3uamgih
“What do you mean! I am the god of prophecy!”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1UKuF0wfM
“I know, I mean, only a god could get through my defenses, but still. Why would you tell me the truth?”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWcbFbPAQO
“Fair point, you're probably wondering why I, the great god, am offering you free advice…”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsl0ZsMw9H0
“Yep,” I said.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40Ynk85QzG
“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!”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJjrLK9L3u
“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.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgS0J4Qgs7
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?”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh3Iybprei
“Fine, what is it?”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ErHDol25b
“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.”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFNAVZsAGX
“Sure it will, but if even one disobeys, then the world might end for a lot of people.”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ugwWCJXKy
“That’s true, but I detect no possibility of that happening. Zero!”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi91OKHEPv
“What! Really!”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OZROt7PPZ
“Yep, and as a god, I swear upon my title.”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf4OMwChDu
“Well, that’s a load off my back.”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBgViVC2Nh
“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.”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcLkmeIhNn
“What makes you say that?”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUx5szDRWT
“I just foresee that maintaining a personal relationship with those 5 will lead to the best outcome.”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lnIe6tjfG
“How do these ‘predictions’ of yours work anyway? Can’t you just tell me what’s gonna happen?”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxAo7hFHyH
“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!”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq5qTfFH0z
“Huh, so you're lazy and mysterious,” I said mockingly.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiac5N4BTR
“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.”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeypFlR6w1N
“Avoiding blame again, how predictable.”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiy2YqhDCf
“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!”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uiachD0F3
“Fine, summon demons, and like take some with me. Anything else?”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyyahI4Vxx
“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.”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAahVB4AJZH
“Okay.”413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkmScoli1k
“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.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpMgrJc8jg
I yawned, “Well that was uncalled for…” I said before falling asleep413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUq5YZeANPH
