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 dude412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTAYss10d1
Well, what am I supposed to call you then?412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuCJsgylOe
I don’t know about you, but the name Nora sounds nice.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K59XQyY4s
Fine, Nora then.
Very well, I Nora, Lord of Magical Knowledge will share what I have learned about the demons under your command.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrWfvLwmeA
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’.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiLFc15b8k
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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7iL1aZYAz
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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmFuIhXdN8
Huh, that’s interesting. By the way, Nora, how are you so knowledgeable about them?412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTce9bs6lPs
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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrhDaVv7db
Well then, can’t you just do that with other subjects, not just magic?412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAaLooAXkf
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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrurX4MsRhO
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?412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FVx5PRgjw
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?412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVsd7D3hdq
Romantic relationships412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasBSZ724Pd
Romantic relationships? Huh? Wait what made you think that?412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicy94y5Lxr
I may not be Universal Understanding (Romantic Relationships) but I can see what’s going on.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zSKDrBFSs
Wait! What is going on!412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVc15oSJwp
Help? Have you been living under a rock?412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4Sbv9SpLO
What do you mean?412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ9SvGcl7g
Never mind, you’ll never get it, it isn’t my place.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckQVldFjxR
Wait Nora! Tell me!412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATpv6ZrBrR
Nope!412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjplg2jRJ7X
Damn it!412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ng8JBS4RC
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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqG0rtpOrjj
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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DJkOq5uno
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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE8lIVCYLu
So yes I could summon the demons, and those would be under my control, but we had the future to think about.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4b7CAqxGfC
I collapsed in a bed in a tent after avoiding all the demons. I needed to sleep on it.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxrSj9OYpB
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!”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbjUu2VYz9
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.”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoo7RgSxQub
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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MlYN8FKR3
Okay, let’s go. “Alright, I’m gonna do something. I will summon your demon-”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMZ8fnQt7e
I was interrupted by a scream of happiness. “Calm down! Calm down! I’m not done.”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnC6GqMs9r0
“But in exchange, you have to swear that you’ll support me and my country. I would also like you to consolidate your religions.”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyiJhPvzcs
“Just swear support? We’ll swear loyalty!”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbawF4lDkrE
“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!”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTkWMwqFIb
“Tephit! Tephit! Tephit!”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7dbOYsS0S
They all screamed my name.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Iq0PK99Ti
“Gah…” I sighed. “But we need proper arrangements! Like a plan! So let me and the chieftains speak a little please!”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbHyhUuJsn
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 there412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDizHsaJ9D
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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGo6M2BgCE
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?412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkNcP5MR8x
The answer, it is possible.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGVIBA0cEv
Hm? Nora, is there an instant transport spell?412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKUSfZ332q
Yes, there is a skill called spatial domination, but it is a physical magic skill.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99igagtqyT
Oh, so I can’t learn it…412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9hQqmcLTD
As far as I know, yes, but there is a dark magic spell called Super summoning.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4sAJ24qpf
Really? Wait, how do you know this?412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZGqiCAO2K
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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLokr4tKJr3
Huh? So it's like teleportation points?412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzjkhiJm0K
I suppose so, yes, I have made designs adjusted for different loads and types of materials transported.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Edf3AXC9G
Nice, well then I’ll establish a network then. Wait, this could completely undermine the whole way transportation works!412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c7d9ZHutJ
Perhaps, but the circles require a gigantic amount of mana to operate, especially to transport organic matter.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCEOAHIykx
Oh, so then like could I make a mana battery for each of the gates to operate on?
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqbp1ScdTM
Hmmm, yes that could work, but it will still require a ton of mana. For you there is no problem.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5aRUstzNu
Alright! Let’s do it.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQTSR1L5ew
Very well, I shall compute the needed supplies.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQijvXVN7Uq
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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmLJPdH1kG
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?412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpeEr71Hcl
“Hello! Silvi! It is I, the God of Prophecy!” she said.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQp5UiH3pal
“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!”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJoQDu6XdQ
“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.”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyRgjcmCYw
She deflated, “Ah, so I’m not impressive enough for you… No matter! I shall show you my power! Behold! My advice!”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQicjoOekcT
“Okay, shoot,” I replied.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JznImJkFs
“Ha! I have great news for you! You made the right move!”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiRvufjxaY
“Huh?”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9siBxOfWE1
“By agreeing to summon the tribes’ demons, you have secured a nice future… Well maybe? I’m giving it a 88% chance.”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgJEKAkEt0
“What! So there’s a 12% chance it was the wrong choice…”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXpcGhWHU3
“Well, yes…. But the good greatly outweighs the bad, in that you have my assurance…”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LaCIN5XER
“Really? Why should I believe you?”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDVqrxLvYo
“What do you mean! I am the god of prophecy!”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkB4f26jVrS
“I know, I mean, only a god could get through my defenses, but still. Why would you tell me the truth?”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGP5j2ErE4
“Fair point, you're probably wondering why I, the great god, am offering you free advice…”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdw8sQlwY2
“Yep,” I said.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tStOtfUVq
“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!”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh1MMBIYCP
“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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKukRGqxSa5
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?”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmUXzMcdGm
“Fine, what is it?”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2CQtlDvIc
“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.”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ojsdnkumP
“Sure it will, but if even one disobeys, then the world might end for a lot of people.”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAOaQPGrS2
“That’s true, but I detect no possibility of that happening. Zero!”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZrCU5fNR7
“What! Really!”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuE3hf2Msw5
“Yep, and as a god, I swear upon my title.”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW9zegF6rc
“Well, that’s a load off my back.”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq69y6dpmB
“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.”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkac6fk6GR
“What makes you say that?”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS1oXrLRpQ
“I just foresee that maintaining a personal relationship with those 5 will lead to the best outcome.”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQV5E2sJPck
“How do these ‘predictions’ of yours work anyway? Can’t you just tell me what’s gonna happen?”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg8us1VOzX
“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!”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdEL3BWPHZ
“Huh, so you're lazy and mysterious,” I said mockingly.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNyZyiXaVh
“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.”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOUzNFIYdp
“Avoiding blame again, how predictable.”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhR2yHBgZZI
“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!”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiuF2ZXqGR
“Fine, summon demons, and like take some with me. Anything else?”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRDBXOTxTe
“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.”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGhrthDCur
“Okay.”412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tXevDJkXS
“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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCh2Ek2ZWt
I yawned, “Well that was uncalled for…” I said before falling asleep412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡta0wNGMuLs
