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 dude410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov4tULnwB4
Well, what am I supposed to call you then?410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7k46Jof7d
I don’t know about you, but the name Nora sounds nice.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstvEV7kChG
Fine, Nora then.
Very well, I Nora, Lord of Magical Knowledge will share what I have learned about the demons under your command.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa66mfXjNA
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’.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEmKPR28sC
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.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbFfqkVT3S
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.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MKhFCu9wJ
Huh, that’s interesting. By the way, Nora, how are you so knowledgeable about them?410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6qgBfDLQO
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.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1upMZmyyWs
Well then, can’t you just do that with other subjects, not just magic?410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ098eLvOok
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.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIZWTeyJdX
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?410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdHXp7cIlf
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?410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg86vYXXcGJ
Romantic relationships410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd5GvHKk0e
Romantic relationships? Huh? Wait what made you think that?410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTecBJPUJR
I may not be Universal Understanding (Romantic Relationships) but I can see what’s going on.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GSV4wW59f
Wait! What is going on!410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcft6V5nXVE
Help? Have you been living under a rock?410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwFNOBXSnd
What do you mean?410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzSesGkqoz
Never mind, you’ll never get it, it isn’t my place.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC4pzNK6pN
Wait Nora! Tell me!410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3WfOlUri9
Nope!410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFj5IeDbLm
Damn it!410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggkcZiXMO3
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.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiag8zrzSV
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.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZNRUgF5Lo
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.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O9B3LwtLq
So yes I could summon the demons, and those would be under my control, but we had the future to think about.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYGhrqGWln
I collapsed in a bed in a tent after avoiding all the demons. I needed to sleep on it.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9Lshz5yFu
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!”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXr74jVRnC
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.”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDykQurJiBz
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.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5r1n2UUnM
Okay, let’s go. “Alright, I’m gonna do something. I will summon your demon-”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBKqMJSf13
I was interrupted by a scream of happiness. “Calm down! Calm down! I’m not done.”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0kk222aDX
“But in exchange, you have to swear that you’ll support me and my country. I would also like you to consolidate your religions.”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VUHKzXyu1
“Just swear support? We’ll swear loyalty!”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwispdX235b
“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!”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeixtEOE904
“Tephit! Tephit! Tephit!”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzyBPrdAwn
They all screamed my name.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFQOsynFOv
“Gah…” I sighed. “But we need proper arrangements! Like a plan! So let me and the chieftains speak a little please!”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhZ4L3PFKt
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 there410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUjjM6votr
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.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWGzSpUadK
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?410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86AyXuVkzi
The answer, it is possible.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhrF6dkXei
Hm? Nora, is there an instant transport spell?410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLQuuYTfbU
Yes, there is a skill called spatial domination, but it is a physical magic skill.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ2uMYoKnz
Oh, so I can’t learn it…410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFqOPFsUOZ
As far as I know, yes, but there is a dark magic spell called Super summoning.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKKVNZ0zO8
Really? Wait, how do you know this?410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMhAO1oma6
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.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDmfo3gG3S
Huh? So it's like teleportation points?410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvFypr3rHu
I suppose so, yes, I have made designs adjusted for different loads and types of materials transported.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2035ezGWE
Nice, well then I’ll establish a network then. Wait, this could completely undermine the whole way transportation works!410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl6j06dr6I
Perhaps, but the circles require a gigantic amount of mana to operate, especially to transport organic matter.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfc6CbIFNq
Oh, so then like could I make a mana battery for each of the gates to operate on?
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oxqS0sLKH
Hmmm, yes that could work, but it will still require a ton of mana. For you there is no problem.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVUWmMOTtQ
Alright! Let’s do it.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuDmwB7zKY
Very well, I shall compute the needed supplies.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Zlf4SqYi0
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.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqQDsjkOLU
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?410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCj3YLF6bnk
“Hello! Silvi! It is I, the God of Prophecy!” she said.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyVU9SkXlR
“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!”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoIhJKSwZ2
“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.”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe71QBxFSgP
She deflated, “Ah, so I’m not impressive enough for you… No matter! I shall show you my power! Behold! My advice!”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwlrjAXs2T
“Okay, shoot,” I replied.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiq0GIYNC8
“Ha! I have great news for you! You made the right move!”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMRHKmtUMH
“Huh?”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL1L8ifniB
“By agreeing to summon the tribes’ demons, you have secured a nice future… Well maybe? I’m giving it a 88% chance.”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUZP4Dgjzd
“What! So there’s a 12% chance it was the wrong choice…”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKkpgNRoHB
“Well, yes…. But the good greatly outweighs the bad, in that you have my assurance…”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5h2Dy666b
“Really? Why should I believe you?”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOBdVaeaVB
“What do you mean! I am the god of prophecy!”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL33vXJUN18
“I know, I mean, only a god could get through my defenses, but still. Why would you tell me the truth?”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77sJdSxKsJ
“Fair point, you're probably wondering why I, the great god, am offering you free advice…”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lnbQIYHEv
“Yep,” I said.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSH8vuP0ok
“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!”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHMxaGCflO
“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.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfyywZAwyS
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?”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKDsyuxiwu
“Fine, what is it?”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lyMQAAksf
“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.”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbS6fLT6KX7
“Sure it will, but if even one disobeys, then the world might end for a lot of people.”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiauYlp5BnP
“That’s true, but I detect no possibility of that happening. Zero!”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DF1D2pFuO
“What! Really!”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuNjNFQGUw
“Yep, and as a god, I swear upon my title.”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw8fDYP9YB
“Well, that’s a load off my back.”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wGNUMZ57D
“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.”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VzsXMAjO7
“What makes you say that?”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcs7pgMopZ
“I just foresee that maintaining a personal relationship with those 5 will lead to the best outcome.”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WjaMAwAbq
“How do these ‘predictions’ of yours work anyway? Can’t you just tell me what’s gonna happen?”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdNeXgb6YD
“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!”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIWyUmBPQT
“Huh, so you're lazy and mysterious,” I said mockingly.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FvDRhvHD3
“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.”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdYcVdF3xl
“Avoiding blame again, how predictable.”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJAij1zhyu
“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!”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJvHi6m4Cf
“Fine, summon demons, and like take some with me. Anything else?”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yC2byZwVc
“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.”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NxRtltxC7
“Okay.”410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH3tJQLv6i
“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.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLMyPli24r
I yawned, “Well that was uncalled for…” I said before falling asleep410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CwyVyO0IH
