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 dude409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIs7S87jPE
Well, what am I supposed to call you then?409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFHWZkpcDd
I don’t know about you, but the name Nora sounds nice.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmk6umVlR2
Fine, Nora then.
Very well, I Nora, Lord of Magical Knowledge will share what I have learned about the demons under your command.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe8QCum3Wf
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’.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kCGzZh6KR
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.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfC41XN4rr
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.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgUNV9vKck
Huh, that’s interesting. By the way, Nora, how are you so knowledgeable about them?409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIf0b5nxgs8
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.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxdxxyyENZ
Well then, can’t you just do that with other subjects, not just magic?409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84tPiyy8Yg
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.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ670lehjxN1
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?409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w6GJZWqnL
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?409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdwzJ1tB2I
Romantic relationships409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jFhAScK2Y
Romantic relationships? Huh? Wait what made you think that?409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7QoVA7Vmv
I may not be Universal Understanding (Romantic Relationships) but I can see what’s going on.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNZtvYDSWV
Wait! What is going on!409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlXP36ExjS
Help? Have you been living under a rock?409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyYzNGvx5Z
What do you mean?409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEwqp2C4E6
Never mind, you’ll never get it, it isn’t my place.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TMnsUpVOX
Wait Nora! Tell me!409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHLNId5dsG
Nope!409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvnbyBpr13
Damn it!409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPDB2COF5J
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.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMjiBl8iLO
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.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx2ZSktiUK
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.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfiIdZZMhc
So yes I could summon the demons, and those would be under my control, but we had the future to think about.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzS0WMoP617
I collapsed in a bed in a tent after avoiding all the demons. I needed to sleep on it.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprOuJcTqaW
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!”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5whMkaRyW
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.”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicdMoBrF85
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.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M9ZZ6cdxT
Okay, let’s go. “Alright, I’m gonna do something. I will summon your demon-”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQgtY2Ya76
I was interrupted by a scream of happiness. “Calm down! Calm down! I’m not done.”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzzSvWaPj6
“But in exchange, you have to swear that you’ll support me and my country. I would also like you to consolidate your religions.”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7I1cQz3uCP
“Just swear support? We’ll swear loyalty!”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4dsGP7NEz
“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!”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHU6mscHHS6
“Tephit! Tephit! Tephit!”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPU0Y5H3zy
They all screamed my name.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblwoklzZ93
“Gah…” I sighed. “But we need proper arrangements! Like a plan! So let me and the chieftains speak a little please!”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsjrOmplNM
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 there409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfoO90WGvj
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.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2Ljgl3gII
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?409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN3V2XmDOJ
The answer, it is possible.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprMwqKEBIC
Hm? Nora, is there an instant transport spell?409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB4iiDOA3U
Yes, there is a skill called spatial domination, but it is a physical magic skill.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY0llrhm9f
Oh, so I can’t learn it…409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxWPBn8O3p
As far as I know, yes, but there is a dark magic spell called Super summoning.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbv0ve0aR1i
Really? Wait, how do you know this?409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs38XBtKjb
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.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOqMCwsJfq
Huh? So it's like teleportation points?409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxJj2CZZMM
I suppose so, yes, I have made designs adjusted for different loads and types of materials transported.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A3SKkHdEw
Nice, well then I’ll establish a network then. Wait, this could completely undermine the whole way transportation works!409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtBAA4zErM
Perhaps, but the circles require a gigantic amount of mana to operate, especially to transport organic matter.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyO2Ufv7IX
Oh, so then like could I make a mana battery for each of the gates to operate on?
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXhfBlrhh8
Hmmm, yes that could work, but it will still require a ton of mana. For you there is no problem.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dGsWMZj9O
Alright! Let’s do it.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSqkJs09nm
Very well, I shall compute the needed supplies.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBg2NKrp00p
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.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcIpRQmyCi
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?409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgr0SERhcyP
“Hello! Silvi! It is I, the God of Prophecy!” she said.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy0ve0iJXY
“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!”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqveRcJKI0
“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.”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VjHXN5V6h
She deflated, “Ah, so I’m not impressive enough for you… No matter! I shall show you my power! Behold! My advice!”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfuvAfYx5z
“Okay, shoot,” I replied.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSypy8kw3MD
“Ha! I have great news for you! You made the right move!”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefZrkkcv3A
“Huh?”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qBVEC5Jju
“By agreeing to summon the tribes’ demons, you have secured a nice future… Well maybe? I’m giving it a 88% chance.”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbRMoU2SrQ
“What! So there’s a 12% chance it was the wrong choice…”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpop1rSeX4y
“Well, yes…. But the good greatly outweighs the bad, in that you have my assurance…”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ14oB6yW9
“Really? Why should I believe you?”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJzBewVKHc
“What do you mean! I am the god of prophecy!”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUSkZJE9Sr
“I know, I mean, only a god could get through my defenses, but still. Why would you tell me the truth?”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie67h13bji
“Fair point, you're probably wondering why I, the great god, am offering you free advice…”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva9glNZ7pX
“Yep,” I said.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN7byJCdGY
“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!”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEx1ZCILgA
“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.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS94IofPhZO
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?”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV0kSkN7zG
“Fine, what is it?”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoiUZjtFqc
“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.”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvWnGzQHzU
“Sure it will, but if even one disobeys, then the world might end for a lot of people.”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2WORcUIKO
“That’s true, but I detect no possibility of that happening. Zero!”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OyFKS2mOZ
“What! Really!”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBF4CAgvaIn
“Yep, and as a god, I swear upon my title.”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJ8GuLfqmv
“Well, that’s a load off my back.”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNruWWhjWls
“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.”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8tZJJolox
“What makes you say that?”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMp3a0zmpK
“I just foresee that maintaining a personal relationship with those 5 will lead to the best outcome.”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjpHA7pZ1y
“How do these ‘predictions’ of yours work anyway? Can’t you just tell me what’s gonna happen?”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k2mUbngJj
“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!”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LsZojN5sU
“Huh, so you're lazy and mysterious,” I said mockingly.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAb2nCBXsC
“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.”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsXqlv8K0H
“Avoiding blame again, how predictable.”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTzohjvCGL
“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!”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxwdw4JvaX
“Fine, summon demons, and like take some with me. Anything else?”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKsvY0E3Om
“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.”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mVtyqdWAo
“Okay.”409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhLgLxMnI3
“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.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRlIVZhGde
I yawned, “Well that was uncalled for…” I said before falling asleep409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8hyal6FtC
