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 dude386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlKLh7osRQ
Well, what am I supposed to call you then?386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHPBh70AvD
I don’t know about you, but the name Nora sounds nice.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJex0v57hGX
Fine, Nora then.
Very well, I Nora, Lord of Magical Knowledge will share what I have learned about the demons under your command.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5f40GScgH
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’.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qx7FTulUr
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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Bk98riiat
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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFraQQLf0Ha
Huh, that’s interesting. By the way, Nora, how are you so knowledgeable about them?386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O2G3tjUZW
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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTfPwb6JpT
Well then, can’t you just do that with other subjects, not just magic?386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzAyNjh7en
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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2bTXhE8Ze
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?386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCM2HX2add
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?386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8lVYnzqI5
Romantic relationships386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gWMJ3oUct
Romantic relationships? Huh? Wait what made you think that?386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbRT79WRIl
I may not be Universal Understanding (Romantic Relationships) but I can see what’s going on.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdorEMDWI92
Wait! What is going on!386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPC9dJ1Od4
Help? Have you been living under a rock?386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0Ps4wo9Ns
What do you mean?386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbwalkvpCZ
Never mind, you’ll never get it, it isn’t my place.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUHy008F5B
Wait Nora! Tell me!386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1nJqxkuSm
Nope!386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1hf7344DX
Damn it!386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbnox8FxyQ
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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uW3qf5cnS
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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctdwqV5okB
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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt4LiumivQ
So yes I could summon the demons, and those would be under my control, but we had the future to think about.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIYxNaoyTZ
I collapsed in a bed in a tent after avoiding all the demons. I needed to sleep on it.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjgGFeBQCZ
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!”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSwpyQmC39
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.”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh714YG6UDz
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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlacsR8B2QH
Okay, let’s go. “Alright, I’m gonna do something. I will summon your demon-”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimBNRSuwlT
I was interrupted by a scream of happiness. “Calm down! Calm down! I’m not done.”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq30y1e7PnN
“But in exchange, you have to swear that you’ll support me and my country. I would also like you to consolidate your religions.”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVr38ujTNU
“Just swear support? We’ll swear loyalty!”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3RrbsqwxD
“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!”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqAIhtCHJs
“Tephit! Tephit! Tephit!”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKily89k5FL
They all screamed my name.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRSwdcdR2s
“Gah…” I sighed. “But we need proper arrangements! Like a plan! So let me and the chieftains speak a little please!”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd9P86xgHL
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 there386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE6JWkKzL0
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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3C8jYkPey
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?386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUxl2p9cUQ
The answer, it is possible.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThyHMgBR0S
Hm? Nora, is there an instant transport spell?386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJCCKP91fk
Yes, there is a skill called spatial domination, but it is a physical magic skill.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX7r3Zw67T
Oh, so I can’t learn it…386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztKW2Gvjpw
As far as I know, yes, but there is a dark magic spell called Super summoning.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDltuM36XdS
Really? Wait, how do you know this?386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUJ8DSKeKC
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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWbZUS9nKU
Huh? So it's like teleportation points?386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YplQPBawL
I suppose so, yes, I have made designs adjusted for different loads and types of materials transported.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVZ14TpzqV
Nice, well then I’ll establish a network then. Wait, this could completely undermine the whole way transportation works!386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrbgdFsRys
Perhaps, but the circles require a gigantic amount of mana to operate, especially to transport organic matter.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrOPa8a11Q
Oh, so then like could I make a mana battery for each of the gates to operate on?
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujK8EM4OWP
Hmmm, yes that could work, but it will still require a ton of mana. For you there is no problem.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T3NzSldrG
Alright! Let’s do it.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5Efywkgio
Very well, I shall compute the needed supplies.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgegGsbFjX0
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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryu6ePxA5u
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?386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIXZ0tMPVQ
“Hello! Silvi! It is I, the God of Prophecy!” she said.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP48DHZaZ1Q
“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!”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPZAdLFEKY
“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.”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEhYgu2Fij
She deflated, “Ah, so I’m not impressive enough for you… No matter! I shall show you my power! Behold! My advice!”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wf9bYMmrQ
“Okay, shoot,” I replied.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nrAPWcaBs
“Ha! I have great news for you! You made the right move!”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPXaRiHbvy
“Huh?”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgylD9mAzAD
“By agreeing to summon the tribes’ demons, you have secured a nice future… Well maybe? I’m giving it a 88% chance.”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPsUIvUOkA
“What! So there’s a 12% chance it was the wrong choice…”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdmMJPzCYN
“Well, yes…. But the good greatly outweighs the bad, in that you have my assurance…”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31BXqVzIy7
“Really? Why should I believe you?”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aEae8eLT6
“What do you mean! I am the god of prophecy!”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Zq1MKFq2u
“I know, I mean, only a god could get through my defenses, but still. Why would you tell me the truth?”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYkkd3DMHD
“Fair point, you're probably wondering why I, the great god, am offering you free advice…”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFHAecnHte
“Yep,” I said.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS6G1h7ZdM
“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!”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFEnacLyqP
“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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmdGe5p97S
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?”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6z5oQgNtoj
“Fine, what is it?”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRCZzht8eM
“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.”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOAAuUnm0l
“Sure it will, but if even one disobeys, then the world might end for a lot of people.”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdA9P3DfP3
“That’s true, but I detect no possibility of that happening. Zero!”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSqbRlPgB0
“What! Really!”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiGyDZ9oAk
“Yep, and as a god, I swear upon my title.”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgAc5AW4do
“Well, that’s a load off my back.”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRecWsopgQ
“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.”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfMgwrEwQO
“What makes you say that?”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCCjGzv5KC
“I just foresee that maintaining a personal relationship with those 5 will lead to the best outcome.”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8L3Ibz0oK
“How do these ‘predictions’ of yours work anyway? Can’t you just tell me what’s gonna happen?”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAsfupFRIO
“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!”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDUVU4DzqM
“Huh, so you're lazy and mysterious,” I said mockingly.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatHVVPZq63
“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.”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrHOy691rT
“Avoiding blame again, how predictable.”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeyjWeJ86e
“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!”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMoiIHWaXV
“Fine, summon demons, and like take some with me. Anything else?”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07SlYO0opt
“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.”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhPoD5tSax
“Okay.”386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYz05LAv2k8
“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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpkZc6ko5R
I yawned, “Well that was uncalled for…” I said before falling asleep386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqVEkvgDzU
