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 dude403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctLvywM1Fr
Well, what am I supposed to call you then?403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzyQpz62fR
I don’t know about you, but the name Nora sounds nice.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrp6rTKqrvJ
Fine, Nora then.
Very well, I Nora, Lord of Magical Knowledge will share what I have learned about the demons under your command.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaxgZyy11a
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’.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JJWfHWJcS
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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLQ5RCpnwQ
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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqf6MMJijY
Huh, that’s interesting. By the way, Nora, how are you so knowledgeable about them?403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwmhvdLQ6W
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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uqH1lV0u6
Well then, can’t you just do that with other subjects, not just magic?403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvn5N9LYDY
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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PCjJjFtVq
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?403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ql7wre3e8
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?403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXqedl50gp
Romantic relationships403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQBgY9ox9M
Romantic relationships? Huh? Wait what made you think that?403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1lES9rQnR
I may not be Universal Understanding (Romantic Relationships) but I can see what’s going on.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBI2fDQ1Ms
Wait! What is going on!403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcZNNsbcbX
Help? Have you been living under a rock?403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29AWU0srBN
What do you mean?403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa342QAoa9
Never mind, you’ll never get it, it isn’t my place.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMJzKeROmy
Wait Nora! Tell me!403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehmJvfyAFk
Nope!403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5PtmS7j8I
Damn it!403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJVxXHGpAe
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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jw5zVshyb
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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc79Z2tMoO
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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa2ZaWXe9f
So yes I could summon the demons, and those would be under my control, but we had the future to think about.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6x5voZi15
I collapsed in a bed in a tent after avoiding all the demons. I needed to sleep on it.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WpSJKxeEm
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!”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgiLNxuCVP
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.”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvlV2AITsn
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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqL8dz1tbg
Okay, let’s go. “Alright, I’m gonna do something. I will summon your demon-”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5tRrqXLrc
I was interrupted by a scream of happiness. “Calm down! Calm down! I’m not done.”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRCaf1l5yC
“But in exchange, you have to swear that you’ll support me and my country. I would also like you to consolidate your religions.”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xp2fc4C84
“Just swear support? We’ll swear loyalty!”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDicQqtS1kY
“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!”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjNJ3I1u9F
“Tephit! Tephit! Tephit!”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb4PkA2FpN
They all screamed my name.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM9YRchAnD
“Gah…” I sighed. “But we need proper arrangements! Like a plan! So let me and the chieftains speak a little please!”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoY8yBRTL4
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 there403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xC9X9SpTD
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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTKnnJaYxU
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?403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFalz7zJkST
The answer, it is possible.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnJR1evyJK
Hm? Nora, is there an instant transport spell?403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VCQpc7aOP
Yes, there is a skill called spatial domination, but it is a physical magic skill.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbYoRs0X8f
Oh, so I can’t learn it…403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0FtcoKzfq
As far as I know, yes, but there is a dark magic spell called Super summoning.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMb9auSDer
Really? Wait, how do you know this?403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgsTS3T0rn
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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lh3YNoEES
Huh? So it's like teleportation points?403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0tTG2le1g
I suppose so, yes, I have made designs adjusted for different loads and types of materials transported.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPTwwv5vtP
Nice, well then I’ll establish a network then. Wait, this could completely undermine the whole way transportation works!403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8zrnNbOrv
Perhaps, but the circles require a gigantic amount of mana to operate, especially to transport organic matter.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbZwCYPr5V
Oh, so then like could I make a mana battery for each of the gates to operate on?
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyQQ7XIHw1
Hmmm, yes that could work, but it will still require a ton of mana. For you there is no problem.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey8MZOdIb8
Alright! Let’s do it.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyKgIZ1YCk
Very well, I shall compute the needed supplies.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpq8lnQlZHU
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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrx2rtN5v6
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?403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6y9UX6Jpa
“Hello! Silvi! It is I, the God of Prophecy!” she said.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBX4Fd9nvlk
“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!”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSMYSJwNi1
“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.”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEYrY7qss3
She deflated, “Ah, so I’m not impressive enough for you… No matter! I shall show you my power! Behold! My advice!”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k99ItgXt7
“Okay, shoot,” I replied.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjQ4GRfIDO
“Ha! I have great news for you! You made the right move!”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMpMCfrqNo
“Huh?”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquS0XGrWBs
“By agreeing to summon the tribes’ demons, you have secured a nice future… Well maybe? I’m giving it a 88% chance.”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTsS9GBxIj
“What! So there’s a 12% chance it was the wrong choice…”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQUCnkXJTX
“Well, yes…. But the good greatly outweighs the bad, in that you have my assurance…”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IDWos3Gvy
“Really? Why should I believe you?”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuVKjD86lP
“What do you mean! I am the god of prophecy!”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdOoKzC7FG
“I know, I mean, only a god could get through my defenses, but still. Why would you tell me the truth?”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhrG72ioBU
“Fair point, you're probably wondering why I, the great god, am offering you free advice…”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirtZpDsnfI
“Yep,” I said.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwkmFh3su8
“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!”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfl0TR4M3v
“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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYIMH4JgiG
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?”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCS0yb5gPPi
“Fine, what is it?”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6seoWuGtCi
“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.”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvePtHszHOZ
“Sure it will, but if even one disobeys, then the world might end for a lot of people.”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrR547m1NW
“That’s true, but I detect no possibility of that happening. Zero!”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7WgiWD0FE
“What! Really!”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EFVmZ0TMj
“Yep, and as a god, I swear upon my title.”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1kqiEfxNS
“Well, that’s a load off my back.”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNVT0AfpCz
“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.”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZrsIj9BbJ
“What makes you say that?”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQIx3pSa2q
“I just foresee that maintaining a personal relationship with those 5 will lead to the best outcome.”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjCabQ4OE7
“How do these ‘predictions’ of yours work anyway? Can’t you just tell me what’s gonna happen?”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKtNlltHVv
“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!”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBEsGlfPCR
“Huh, so you're lazy and mysterious,” I said mockingly.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcYc6ChRyX
“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.”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwmzlZV1uW
“Avoiding blame again, how predictable.”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28abnz9b9o
“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!”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0WEICYdvK
“Fine, summon demons, and like take some with me. Anything else?”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICCrKyVlzf
“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.”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInqjCFNtRg
“Okay.”403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMh0A5pgsi
“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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6EldE64Kr
I yawned, “Well that was uncalled for…” I said before falling asleep403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpAslGv7GM
