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 dude407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxMIqYZRlU
Well, what am I supposed to call you then?407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgqTMaO1tw
I don’t know about you, but the name Nora sounds nice.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ0TeEY9nb
Fine, Nora then.
Very well, I Nora, Lord of Magical Knowledge will share what I have learned about the demons under your command.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnzhvt8OVC
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’.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFCsVGdNBV
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.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I9A8dUaVk
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.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWDgHu3yy7
Huh, that’s interesting. By the way, Nora, how are you so knowledgeable about them?407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH3tUHUjLp
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.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8PVxkC5zP
Well then, can’t you just do that with other subjects, not just magic?407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rPDjafjx9
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.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSTigmj88a
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?407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yrIliFKhn
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?407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbVc3EzicB
Romantic relationships407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYnpZQySPZ
Romantic relationships? Huh? Wait what made you think that?407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV0oqtbHnW
I may not be Universal Understanding (Romantic Relationships) but I can see what’s going on.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbxYYtrV5c
Wait! What is going on!407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2A6DDgXCf
Help? Have you been living under a rock?407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA8TIXg02A
What do you mean?407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGXSyp7iJ0
Never mind, you’ll never get it, it isn’t my place.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRbLb0j9Uj
Wait Nora! Tell me!407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nqi0Wa17o
Nope!407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6irZxEu4C
Damn it!407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzihpE4zhfg
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.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqEYjADxIa
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.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxdkRJ6E8b
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.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuN5m0QWB5
So yes I could summon the demons, and those would be under my control, but we had the future to think about.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFZX0TqUEu
I collapsed in a bed in a tent after avoiding all the demons. I needed to sleep on it.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGr1CvZY8r
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!”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyc2eQDutPy
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.”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpE84tsYOE
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.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qOje5XiEk
Okay, let’s go. “Alright, I’m gonna do something. I will summon your demon-”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU8OXwotVk
I was interrupted by a scream of happiness. “Calm down! Calm down! I’m not done.”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx4iw7wEwg
“But in exchange, you have to swear that you’ll support me and my country. I would also like you to consolidate your religions.”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVacHpRYLHV
“Just swear support? We’ll swear loyalty!”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwbjGWEAXr
“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!”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwo3F6On36
“Tephit! Tephit! Tephit!”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmvN12GChn
They all screamed my name.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSuekQwA7p
“Gah…” I sighed. “But we need proper arrangements! Like a plan! So let me and the chieftains speak a little please!”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzEdUHhRia
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 there407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv0e7tMdIT
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.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pGpIOkDWH
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?407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP8J27oHH2
The answer, it is possible.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Zoii8gAzp
Hm? Nora, is there an instant transport spell?407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0xle1sfE3
Yes, there is a skill called spatial domination, but it is a physical magic skill.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjDjueiOAD
Oh, so I can’t learn it…407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJFHpfiKMm
As far as I know, yes, but there is a dark magic spell called Super summoning.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY02NcITsnk
Really? Wait, how do you know this?407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w4Fn4i19Z
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.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡok10em5L7I
Huh? So it's like teleportation points?407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqmSjXpMxw
I suppose so, yes, I have made designs adjusted for different loads and types of materials transported.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DDXKk8uTj
Nice, well then I’ll establish a network then. Wait, this could completely undermine the whole way transportation works!407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhja87vlAN
Perhaps, but the circles require a gigantic amount of mana to operate, especially to transport organic matter.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAOVJvN4VY
Oh, so then like could I make a mana battery for each of the gates to operate on?
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfIMUUWOIv
Hmmm, yes that could work, but it will still require a ton of mana. For you there is no problem.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblRwBb4grb
Alright! Let’s do it.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAqqMSv2RH
Very well, I shall compute the needed supplies.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2B16pu8Ir
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.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAgocCQSf0
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?407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5qhMx1VsP
“Hello! Silvi! It is I, the God of Prophecy!” she said.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJiJ9TCY4k
“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!”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZLzxdOl5r
“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.”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBx5eSaBJ3
She deflated, “Ah, so I’m not impressive enough for you… No matter! I shall show you my power! Behold! My advice!”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvYNJKxPxs
“Okay, shoot,” I replied.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WrRiEc1l6
“Ha! I have great news for you! You made the right move!”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjM0K275GT6
“Huh?”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXrBVDb0Af
“By agreeing to summon the tribes’ demons, you have secured a nice future… Well maybe? I’m giving it a 88% chance.”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlEWXutl2L
“What! So there’s a 12% chance it was the wrong choice…”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65OdaXNg89
“Well, yes…. But the good greatly outweighs the bad, in that you have my assurance…”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcGxLtu4yl
“Really? Why should I believe you?”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh8FT9SgSo
“What do you mean! I am the god of prophecy!”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y3vT65ySh
“I know, I mean, only a god could get through my defenses, but still. Why would you tell me the truth?”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFiq5ee7T0
“Fair point, you're probably wondering why I, the great god, am offering you free advice…”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1scIQJQ7K
“Yep,” I said.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHJAno67is
“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!”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn1yPB4yCL
“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.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYKX1BHiCU
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?”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBwct0VheS
“Fine, what is it?”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGInZmTaQK
“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.”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkbaFLYBOh
“Sure it will, but if even one disobeys, then the world might end for a lot of people.”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPQT0TnAbv
“That’s true, but I detect no possibility of that happening. Zero!”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsKIxwDKve
“What! Really!”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrk5PYL77z
“Yep, and as a god, I swear upon my title.”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFgxj28AH2
“Well, that’s a load off my back.”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Nfjpc4Fk7
“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.”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQh9IhfJ9Y
“What makes you say that?”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgjSKMx8JL
“I just foresee that maintaining a personal relationship with those 5 will lead to the best outcome.”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVd6yDM44c
“How do these ‘predictions’ of yours work anyway? Can’t you just tell me what’s gonna happen?”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdUpn6S9RP
“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!”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FeqOJLE2n
“Huh, so you're lazy and mysterious,” I said mockingly.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4V4hn7COHf
“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.”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXXeVex2fB
“Avoiding blame again, how predictable.”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiszP68Tb3
“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!”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9GW4uzZY8
“Fine, summon demons, and like take some with me. Anything else?”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmHh1URLjp
“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.”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXdyAuZmOZ
“Okay.”407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA1ESWk1k4
“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.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWys1KkKFR
I yawned, “Well that was uncalled for…” I said before falling asleep407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQY1jcITg3
