Chapter 7 Part 3

- Silas -

Two days later, everything was more or less settled.

Milim had sent for her people and they were quite well versed in healing.

Tempest was healed back in almost no time with their help and all the evolved monsters. The biggest gains were among the Ogres who had come to my world and were named by me using Rimuru's method. Due to me awakening two demon lord seeds, the power they gained was even more.

It left us with a total of two hundred and thirty mystic Oni and a dozen or so Wicked Oni from the ones who were resurrected and finally Shuna who had become something called a Royal Oni, a mutated version of the Mystic Oni.

Apart from them, the maids, Yuri and Narberal gained decent power ups too.

Ainz got a Demon Lord Seed. Ikki broke through and became an Enlightened. Lavinia did the same.

He held back the awakening when I offered the souls as he believed that he should max his level for the Demon Lord Seed or whatever that meant and then try the Awakening.

As for Saitama, well… nothing changed.

Oh wait, something did change.

The Spirit who had blessed Saitama… evolved.

It became an Elemental Lord of Light.

Not even Ramiris knew what had happened honestly.

My own Skills were completely different beasts altogether.

Sitri, Lord of the Seas was something which gave me Water Manipulation of a higher level and a certain degree of Weather Manipulation too.

Dantalion, Lord of Forbidden Knowledge was like a supercomputer inside my head only a billion times or so faster. Really helped out in keeping my shit together.

The real shockers were the last two.

Cocytus which was made from Permafrost and Cold-Blooded.

It gave me Ice Manipulation of the Ultimate Level but that was not the most dangerous part of the Skill. The most dangerous part of the Skill came from the Cold Blooded aspect of the Skill.

Any people I kill using this Skill or any souls I eat or have eaten, I will be able to summon them to fight for me. This also applied to the ones used for my Harvest Festival.

It was the last one which was the most surprising.

Helel, Lord of Perfection.

This Skill came from my Masterchef Skill.

The effects of this Skill were as follows.

Complete control over the law of causality, fate, Law, and Order.

In a time stopped world, where all other phenomena have ceased, the user's will is given absolute priority.

In a moving world, where there are many phenomena in motion, the user's will influences all outcomes, and it is absolute.

This Skill reminded me of the God Mode in the games I used to play in my previous life. There were some limits to this Skill supposedly and that's when it encounters a similar type of Skill of the same level and if someone had a Skill of a higher level, theoretically, they could resist the effect of this Skill to a certain extent, although not completely.

That said, this was not all.

There was also a secondary effect which made this Skill almost insanely difficult to defeat.

Rebel's Will: Can make any Angelic Skill rebel against their owner and control Demonic Skills to a certain extent.

No wonder Guy couldn't find anything. It was because Dantalion purposely hid the effects of the Skill because it was afraid that he would have attacked me.

Thank goodness I have Dantalion.

According to Dantalion, the only drawback of this Skill was the fact that this Skill requires extreme levels of magicules to use to the full extent. Even with my own insane Magicule reserves, I couldn't use it for a prolonged period of time.

I even gained a few new employees.

The white haired Daemon I had summoned decided to serve me. She was very interested in the new worlds and wanted to see the new things with her own eyes.

The two who were summoned with her joined along with her. Their names were Moss and Cien.

She then went ahead and used all the bodies in the city to summon several dozen Daemons who were helping in the reconstruction of Tempest.

She herself was called Blanc but it was not exactly her name but rather a title so I named her… Weiss.

Tanya moreover suggested to loot… ughh, salvage all the resources from the frozen city to help rebuild Tempest as well as for funding for our own base in this world.

It was very reasonable advice but I won't lie, it left me feeling very strange for a while.

Apart from them, a new addition to our forces was the three tailed fox I freed from Clayman.

She wanted to work for me and I was looking for extra security.

I was about to name her Kurama but then Kurama identified as a male so I named her Kurumi instead.

This resulted in her becoming a Nine Tailed Fox.

She then roped both me and Rimuru into naming all her tails with me naming five of them and Rimuru naming the other four.

I found out that my magic reserves were several times higher than even Rimuru's. The two Demon Lord Seeds were apparently a big deal.

I actually had higher magic reserves than normal Milim but if she used her Skill, I wouldn't even be close to her. Not to mention, she had a cheat skill which could generate magic for her infinitely.

Hax. I call fucking hax. Not that I was any better but I still call hax.

I reopened the restaurant yesterday and surprisingly Zeref was the one to return first. He asked for Touma and quite luckily, Touma was there too.

He had come to attend his Martial Arts class after a long while.

They decided to bring Zeref's wife to the restaurant to cure her tomorrow.

Also, turns out, August was Zeref's son.

Man… was that a shock.

He explained the situation to us and I thought about Ikki.

People can be so different.

With August were a few others. Two girls and a boy.

Mirajane was the eldest of the siblings. Elfman was the second and Lisanna was the youngest kid.

Mirajane was a bold child who came off as bossy and rude but I could see that it was a defence mechanism for her.

August told me about the history of the children.

They were orphaned and she killed a Demon inhabiting an abandoned church. She however had a special type of magic as well as a tiny hint of Demonic Blood so she was able to use the soul of the Demon to gain power.

Her innate magic caused her arm to transform.

This kinda reminded me of a game I had played in my previous life. Devil May Cry.

The sad thing was that the same villagers whom she had fought to protect, were afraid of her now and had all but chased her away from the town along with her siblings.

August found her then and took her in.

The guy couldn't see abandoned children. Guess I know why now, because of his own history. Not that I am much better.

I took Lavinia and Orihime and they were in the same situation.

Even Shuna was an orphan when we first met.

August brought her to me because my situation was quite similar to hers.

"So, I heard what you did back at your home village. That was mighty brave of you." I spoke as I sat beside the girl."

"I-it was nothing. It was just a weakling." She replied haughtily and I couldn't help but smile a bit.

"Or you are just that strong? Anyways, good job."

"Hmph." She stared down into her bowl of sweet dishes.

"August told me that you have some Demon blood in you?"

She froze and then glared at me.

"Now don't be angry. I was just surprised when I found out. I am quite similar, you see. I am a natural born devil. I was raised by human parents though. Adopted. But the thing is, we both were raised in a similar environment. Although, I would love to have cute siblings like yours." I laughed as she looked at me a bit scared and a lot more curiously.

She didn't say anything but returned back to her food.

A few moments later, she whispered something but I could hear it all the same. "Are you scared of it?"

"Scared?" I leaned back on the seat. "I won't lie and say I am or rather was not scared. Hey, I kinda snapped at my customers and went out in the middle of the night to cool my head… only to encounter a monster attack on a boy. It was my new Devil wings which helped the two of us to escape from the place. So all in all, my powers did help me out. I mean, a sword can be used both to kill and protect. It depends on the user how they use the power, right?" I spoke my thoughts.

"B-but, aren't people afraid of you? Don't they all push you away, even when, even after everything you do for them? It's just…"

"Enraging? Frustrating? Yes. That can happen… but, I also have people who support me. I mean why should I care about strangers when my own loved ones have no problems with who I am? I think you have such loved ones too. Your siblings, August and your new friends. I can be one of them too if you want? I mean who wouldn't want to be friends with a cute girl like you?" I joked as she blushed and sunk further into her food bowl. I let out a chuckle and then continued. "Still if you want, I can take you to other worlds where having a bit of Demon blood is not a big deal."

She looked at me as if trying to find any hint of a lie and I just smiled and patted her head lightly. "Also, you have some pudding on your nose." I smiled, making her blush furiously and clean her nose.

This girl is such a tsundere.

Later that day Irene came with a miniature version of her.

And I found out another story which left me with a lot to think about.

On one hand there were parents like Ikki's who were actively trying to make their child's life hell and on the other, there were people like Irene who protected her daughter for hundreds of years and then had to abandon her when she thought that she would be safer away from her. All this really shows how different people can be.

Irene had gotten much more comfortable in this place because she could taste food again, making her get a bit of support as well as control over her mind.

The girl, her daughter, was called Erza. She is a very quiet girl who loves cakes.

We talked about a few things and Irene told me about her experiences of when she was transforming into a dragon and was losing her senses.

The Demon Seed Zeref had implanted into me to save my life also had similar effects and changed the user into a real demon. I was however an exception because I was already a Devil and the Demon Seed was changed into a Demon Lord Seed by Rimuru's world.

Her words helped me reconcile with the changes in myself.

She left with her daughter and they will come back when Zeref brings his wife for the cure.
