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 dude404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XbWxtEwav
Well, what am I supposed to call you then?404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MUjsyoGBR
I don’t know about you, but the name Nora sounds nice.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hfwAVS7IH
Fine, Nora then.
Very well, I Nora, Lord of Magical Knowledge will share what I have learned about the demons under your command.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qc1H2Z4C2
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’.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihvireElnp
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsdPIWrp1b
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGexlW4Srz
Huh, that’s interesting. By the way, Nora, how are you so knowledgeable about them?404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ywdpjGwEb
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GkkYVPLSX
Well then, can’t you just do that with other subjects, not just magic?404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3bPmIlvb8
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE6YTrUjwh
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?404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmH5CCcQ4m
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?404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwf8LYMSDK
Romantic relationships404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIOE0pWslp
Romantic relationships? Huh? Wait what made you think that?404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUQkKyhrop
I may not be Universal Understanding (Romantic Relationships) but I can see what’s going on.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSW1O5kSxP
Wait! What is going on!404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1Jdzqm2g4
Help? Have you been living under a rock?404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpMbGv0uGI
What do you mean?404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdOmFmVsM0
Never mind, you’ll never get it, it isn’t my place.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CuHIf5dfk
Wait Nora! Tell me!404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yqCqmQ1hA
Nope!404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wBSHJpZtA
Damn it!404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X8Td2rgrg
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6v96HARZC
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7YYcuaj2X
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6GjtoW1LM
So yes I could summon the demons, and those would be under my control, but we had the future to think about.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRxykknr8c
I collapsed in a bed in a tent after avoiding all the demons. I needed to sleep on it.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpZksM5F08
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!”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD8SEYJAKO
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.”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidEU9dBMDF
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOSX7OK7Nr
Okay, let’s go. “Alright, I’m gonna do something. I will summon your demon-”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrqnsEjfOI
I was interrupted by a scream of happiness. “Calm down! Calm down! I’m not done.”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Adz50kmDI
“But in exchange, you have to swear that you’ll support me and my country. I would also like you to consolidate your religions.”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvmpohK2xp
“Just swear support? We’ll swear loyalty!”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXrpslGTAb
“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!”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9vK8BUHlQ
“Tephit! Tephit! Tephit!”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4UQ4zmGlW
They all screamed my name.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvgBChOXCL
“Gah…” I sighed. “But we need proper arrangements! Like a plan! So let me and the chieftains speak a little please!”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mHeD0NXkz
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 there404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoVKAgg6Th
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S5eQD0wDh
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?404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC61hsOPUs
The answer, it is possible.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk828Mj0Cqx
Hm? Nora, is there an instant transport spell?404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsmAOqj8BA
Yes, there is a skill called spatial domination, but it is a physical magic skill.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7NlrZ2rgT
Oh, so I can’t learn it…404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX2B3WQZAy
As far as I know, yes, but there is a dark magic spell called Super summoning.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGjDTz65XF
Really? Wait, how do you know this?404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvy8zEwHSP
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqfITyv3AZ
Huh? So it's like teleportation points?404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDkuxNAlnD
I suppose so, yes, I have made designs adjusted for different loads and types of materials transported.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUcd8XLD9F
Nice, well then I’ll establish a network then. Wait, this could completely undermine the whole way transportation works!404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkF4AXk8YcM
Perhaps, but the circles require a gigantic amount of mana to operate, especially to transport organic matter.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVteNME7C8
Oh, so then like could I make a mana battery for each of the gates to operate on?
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaX2t8oZse
Hmmm, yes that could work, but it will still require a ton of mana. For you there is no problem.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJjKeKB40b
Alright! Let’s do it.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCyWlZzRdu
Very well, I shall compute the needed supplies.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5btVDYAcz
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJFcz94Dro
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?404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqKUdPuV8h
“Hello! Silvi! It is I, the God of Prophecy!” she said.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZeveCm4TQ
“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!”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2udMOlzyVK
“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.”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBoybTZPfs
She deflated, “Ah, so I’m not impressive enough for you… No matter! I shall show you my power! Behold! My advice!”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BHZOghEuo
“Okay, shoot,” I replied.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJtiJgggJT
“Ha! I have great news for you! You made the right move!”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Dz7lqDET9
“Huh?”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ2UN19t6Z
“By agreeing to summon the tribes’ demons, you have secured a nice future… Well maybe? I’m giving it a 88% chance.”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aQRR8vDES
“What! So there’s a 12% chance it was the wrong choice…”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOTButnV28
“Well, yes…. But the good greatly outweighs the bad, in that you have my assurance…”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvysI5VJYBk
“Really? Why should I believe you?”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWgBxE6l8j
“What do you mean! I am the god of prophecy!”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1RNWqhzyo
“I know, I mean, only a god could get through my defenses, but still. Why would you tell me the truth?”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95NjBdExmt
“Fair point, you're probably wondering why I, the great god, am offering you free advice…”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXj2G1gvm3R
“Yep,” I said.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57js9keRdU
“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!”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNObueAwJIy
“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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxrclb7KdY
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?”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX33c6HroVr
“Fine, what is it?”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBnKdiTJLX
“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.”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhE8wRNm9r
“Sure it will, but if even one disobeys, then the world might end for a lot of people.”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCG8zbK4a8r
“That’s true, but I detect no possibility of that happening. Zero!”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxOIcM0mhr
“What! Really!”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZy0HsFQas
“Yep, and as a god, I swear upon my title.”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvtwhIMlho
“Well, that’s a load off my back.”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM03FR7SPqy
“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.”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhpGZe6iZm
“What makes you say that?”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SOAIpTGGF
“I just foresee that maintaining a personal relationship with those 5 will lead to the best outcome.”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiMbJabvFG
“How do these ‘predictions’ of yours work anyway? Can’t you just tell me what’s gonna happen?”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiKaYfwkPO
“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!”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnn54dcKwP
“Huh, so you're lazy and mysterious,” I said mockingly.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRdMB5Ph1z
“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.”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlKPfh0Myg
“Avoiding blame again, how predictable.”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3U0iRNWqb
“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!”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGiexDt4pM
“Fine, summon demons, and like take some with me. Anything else?”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWz8BBBsLD
“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.”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RAadLSTlm
“Okay.”404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bdI4uay0Z
“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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOUWx3QwET
I yawned, “Well that was uncalled for…” I said before falling asleep404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3anXWE1Lb
