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 dude406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqxcONzxCT
Well, what am I supposed to call you then?406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQs1iVOmsjN
I don’t know about you, but the name Nora sounds nice.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SDJgp2gRV
Fine, Nora then.
Very well, I Nora, Lord of Magical Knowledge will share what I have learned about the demons under your command.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x3Ad7Gmbl
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’.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1TPttoIEW
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.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBCsaegyay
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.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYL7u9wp3W
Huh, that’s interesting. By the way, Nora, how are you so knowledgeable about them?406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqwWmBYBCy
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.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFMAD6W67R
Well then, can’t you just do that with other subjects, not just magic?406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAQObN6Y4w
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.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLctxNJdZh
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?406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc7SUP8WgO
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?406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2TGOENAdp
Romantic relationships406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALiWq3VVO9
Romantic relationships? Huh? Wait what made you think that?406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoxXcnLzFC
I may not be Universal Understanding (Romantic Relationships) but I can see what’s going on.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwAUe9CeoN
Wait! What is going on!406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUkD9gSnwk
Help? Have you been living under a rock?406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDLhBgqRRQ
What do you mean?406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOBSFzjB8E
Never mind, you’ll never get it, it isn’t my place.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg5ILCtLqI
Wait Nora! Tell me!406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SPGjvfj0r
Nope!406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpveDHgb58R
Damn it!406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTdL5WhnxR
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.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkVTHGL3jM
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.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkStOi8iwX3
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.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzOHsbRxHx
So yes I could summon the demons, and those would be under my control, but we had the future to think about.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBqEOxiqpe
I collapsed in a bed in a tent after avoiding all the demons. I needed to sleep on it.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw82My37U9
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!”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZnKSqJGL8
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.”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckP8O3Q6xm
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.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWYcB3Sgf0
Okay, let’s go. “Alright, I’m gonna do something. I will summon your demon-”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsuLWEWHlw
I was interrupted by a scream of happiness. “Calm down! Calm down! I’m not done.”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoLgMa2cvb
“But in exchange, you have to swear that you’ll support me and my country. I would also like you to consolidate your religions.”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMcrFGvbF0
“Just swear support? We’ll swear loyalty!”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPExkJtZiBf
“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!”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpmgYD3Ldr
“Tephit! Tephit! Tephit!”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoygctjOOiT
They all screamed my name.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL1ZZMVTK9
“Gah…” I sighed. “But we need proper arrangements! Like a plan! So let me and the chieftains speak a little please!”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99j2qx6rHv
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 there406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8bCTfG0YD
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.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1W1e92J7Mu
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?406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbatiZPOqJ7
The answer, it is possible.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCh1sykPrc
Hm? Nora, is there an instant transport spell?406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0NUiABSi0
Yes, there is a skill called spatial domination, but it is a physical magic skill.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcpTqPZo2a
Oh, so I can’t learn it…406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFcECEpt4i
As far as I know, yes, but there is a dark magic spell called Super summoning.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHetVLlEXu
Really? Wait, how do you know this?406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQFwvamqqg
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.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PBRlJtzyL
Huh? So it's like teleportation points?406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06bYhW7be3
I suppose so, yes, I have made designs adjusted for different loads and types of materials transported.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUmebTHLTk
Nice, well then I’ll establish a network then. Wait, this could completely undermine the whole way transportation works!406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPQes6H0I5
Perhaps, but the circles require a gigantic amount of mana to operate, especially to transport organic matter.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmG0vlZuUH8
Oh, so then like could I make a mana battery for each of the gates to operate on?
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthTg6GAWUI
Hmmm, yes that could work, but it will still require a ton of mana. For you there is no problem.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUBFIN7N6E
Alright! Let’s do it.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVM9FBL4Jq
Very well, I shall compute the needed supplies.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M0cpPik90
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.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn2oEeN3EI
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?406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BLFPEw8lB
“Hello! Silvi! It is I, the God of Prophecy!” she said.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWt0qNwy9c
“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!”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5QD3hHpb1
“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.”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60lHoM9oQn
She deflated, “Ah, so I’m not impressive enough for you… No matter! I shall show you my power! Behold! My advice!”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIzYtXlUCy
“Okay, shoot,” I replied.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd60tJiJzsa
“Ha! I have great news for you! You made the right move!”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswB0NRF3yR
“Huh?”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEScwKkKTH
“By agreeing to summon the tribes’ demons, you have secured a nice future… Well maybe? I’m giving it a 88% chance.”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF56RQlnscr
“What! So there’s a 12% chance it was the wrong choice…”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnrbF0Vgfq
“Well, yes…. But the good greatly outweighs the bad, in that you have my assurance…”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb4YJ3hXmN
“Really? Why should I believe you?”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySGhxPBpfo
“What do you mean! I am the god of prophecy!”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjHIL5f1XR
“I know, I mean, only a god could get through my defenses, but still. Why would you tell me the truth?”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1FN87eUmc
“Fair point, you're probably wondering why I, the great god, am offering you free advice…”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIn4uI9Bsv
“Yep,” I said.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIWJ436yPX
“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!”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rKeB5ajo8
“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.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkjb3KJmQt
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?”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVohR0hIUJ
“Fine, what is it?”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtETHlWxf6G
“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.”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo4zJDVpgq
“Sure it will, but if even one disobeys, then the world might end for a lot of people.”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9j3dFwbZe
“That’s true, but I detect no possibility of that happening. Zero!”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NLeoqXP7C
“What! Really!”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABzlSZTjEq
“Yep, and as a god, I swear upon my title.”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnKxyViGyA
“Well, that’s a load off my back.”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF5f2UzQtP
“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.”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbi4lVGRA8c
“What makes you say that?”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiGfQ75Lsi
“I just foresee that maintaining a personal relationship with those 5 will lead to the best outcome.”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIVohxCZZa
“How do these ‘predictions’ of yours work anyway? Can’t you just tell me what’s gonna happen?”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRRSORB0wM
“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!”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVlleVibVZ
“Huh, so you're lazy and mysterious,” I said mockingly.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqKz3ebXDs
“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.”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWjvqIVlr4
“Avoiding blame again, how predictable.”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLz8ETFVfU
“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!”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTKiYa1r9L
“Fine, summon demons, and like take some with me. Anything else?”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwuLWk5rFh
“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.”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRl8ZZ4JQN3
“Okay.”406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LyGEaU4DO
“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.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mjWkVn9vO
I yawned, “Well that was uncalled for…” I said before falling asleep406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BR0U3H1dl
