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 dude408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDyZDIcwFv
Well, what am I supposed to call you then?408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQW0v0d83dV
I don’t know about you, but the name Nora sounds nice.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD6G4taKVP
Fine, Nora then.
Very well, I Nora, Lord of Magical Knowledge will share what I have learned about the demons under your command.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNJ8GJlSAa
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’.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdsBdqpGou
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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqyTd3bQXF
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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7n8u6OlIQ
Huh, that’s interesting. By the way, Nora, how are you so knowledgeable about them?408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gaJIx6wTV
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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoN6VJtK4J
Well then, can’t you just do that with other subjects, not just magic?408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIO3VsQUfEw
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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZoRThINqZ
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?408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7LArvKbo9
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?408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHIwZs4Bd7
Romantic relationships408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKSqNM8yZY
Romantic relationships? Huh? Wait what made you think that?408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGoj6PfZQ7
I may not be Universal Understanding (Romantic Relationships) but I can see what’s going on.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQlho72bpI
Wait! What is going on!408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMGtrCVKas
Help? Have you been living under a rock?408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdsNZow5f5
What do you mean?408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnvokMtUnk
Never mind, you’ll never get it, it isn’t my place.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4ZRD2QpXX
Wait Nora! Tell me!408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7fxPmDpEA
Nope!408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVI7JNMgR6r
Damn it!408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJPFin04Nk
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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYZX4TEOjf
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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkb5lH6tXX
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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2zkgMvJYC
So yes I could summon the demons, and those would be under my control, but we had the future to think about.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvRLbGChDl
I collapsed in a bed in a tent after avoiding all the demons. I needed to sleep on it.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiqJ0AiYmb
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!”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NN7FemvFh
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.”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU37Dof3nvu
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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYNlthdQJW
Okay, let’s go. “Alright, I’m gonna do something. I will summon your demon-”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2FiLIae6R
I was interrupted by a scream of happiness. “Calm down! Calm down! I’m not done.”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eZDf8yAJc
“But in exchange, you have to swear that you’ll support me and my country. I would also like you to consolidate your religions.”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Gqw0bkXSV
“Just swear support? We’ll swear loyalty!”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRJwcRFUtG
“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!”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEfk5fk88p
“Tephit! Tephit! Tephit!”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZpmCcUj2E
They all screamed my name.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlQy94SZNa
“Gah…” I sighed. “But we need proper arrangements! Like a plan! So let me and the chieftains speak a little please!”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPo5pFDvtX
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 there408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwqgGitd1T
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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9Gv68qa3c
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?408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJjb5dOHeY
The answer, it is possible.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncgqJzhkx3
Hm? Nora, is there an instant transport spell?408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwO6bCKGy4
Yes, there is a skill called spatial domination, but it is a physical magic skill.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnZSVdwDsx
Oh, so I can’t learn it…408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQhlDc749f
As far as I know, yes, but there is a dark magic spell called Super summoning.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vge6sVwM9
Really? Wait, how do you know this?408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLk7IWeopY
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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTbRVjWl11
Huh? So it's like teleportation points?408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz0iiVMATk
I suppose so, yes, I have made designs adjusted for different loads and types of materials transported.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFlzGRaH14
Nice, well then I’ll establish a network then. Wait, this could completely undermine the whole way transportation works!408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYkJw7GXw9
Perhaps, but the circles require a gigantic amount of mana to operate, especially to transport organic matter.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAkKPu2o5P
Oh, so then like could I make a mana battery for each of the gates to operate on?
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk13LhJcD2a
Hmmm, yes that could work, but it will still require a ton of mana. For you there is no problem.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKnva0vtGQ
Alright! Let’s do it.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiGqQsfVCI
Very well, I shall compute the needed supplies.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPM8JlHO0Tr
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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJIxKozib4
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?408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiPqP8U5zH
“Hello! Silvi! It is I, the God of Prophecy!” she said.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMwB2Peugd
“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!”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpzqqXppAj
“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.”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJAI78ZRg8
She deflated, “Ah, so I’m not impressive enough for you… No matter! I shall show you my power! Behold! My advice!”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVeCKYTuAk
“Okay, shoot,” I replied.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbhN3BekPS
“Ha! I have great news for you! You made the right move!”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAFspYSTOO
“Huh?”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCrNm09AC8
“By agreeing to summon the tribes’ demons, you have secured a nice future… Well maybe? I’m giving it a 88% chance.”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVlEbOltul
“What! So there’s a 12% chance it was the wrong choice…”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYD3ZiWsRL
“Well, yes…. But the good greatly outweighs the bad, in that you have my assurance…”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhe1RmVSAu
“Really? Why should I believe you?”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINBfGyKI1c
“What do you mean! I am the god of prophecy!”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3MKa0mZ2S
“I know, I mean, only a god could get through my defenses, but still. Why would you tell me the truth?”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqPxa5NUuy
“Fair point, you're probably wondering why I, the great god, am offering you free advice…”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSXEuJbrE0
“Yep,” I said.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk08xrTc90
“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!”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc4ECQMjNj
“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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpKnevrhKn
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?”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa26pP8NJ40
“Fine, what is it?”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaNFpn9gWk
“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.”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIYH4pmQb1
“Sure it will, but if even one disobeys, then the world might end for a lot of people.”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X7w4oD5Rk
“That’s true, but I detect no possibility of that happening. Zero!”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw4KHIKQv5
“What! Really!”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCTdSUIzop
“Yep, and as a god, I swear upon my title.”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5X0oeYHAv
“Well, that’s a load off my back.”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7yrtwv9UD
“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.”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyKm7kwoi0
“What makes you say that?”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrvO4bIfMK
“I just foresee that maintaining a personal relationship with those 5 will lead to the best outcome.”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2hEWZ0WjZ
“How do these ‘predictions’ of yours work anyway? Can’t you just tell me what’s gonna happen?”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Y03dqpV8w
“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!”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHOil5wJPk
“Huh, so you're lazy and mysterious,” I said mockingly.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7vYTxhh17
“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.”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0ksPEiLKS
“Avoiding blame again, how predictable.”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45NvJRnpck
“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!”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvcI2Q0O69
“Fine, summon demons, and like take some with me. Anything else?”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOQUOgMLtp
“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.”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp9k7UHIzs
“Okay.”408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamp2aRVQaT
“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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡos8MW6mbPM
I yawned, “Well that was uncalled for…” I said before falling asleep408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbVNbBRKLv
