Chapter 24: Agreement
__________________________________________________________________________
- Felix -
It's been a day since I returned from healing Todo, only to discover Raiden and Kurumi playing Smash.
Right now I'm working on creating dungeons all throughout the world, each of varying difficulties based on what reward lies inside.
I just finished up with the Rare Dungeons, of which there are 20 around the world, each housing a Rare-Grade weapon. The dungeons are inhabited with all sorts of enemies and traps, I made some golems out of some trash tier ore from the Cardinal World and am having them defend the dungeon.
Death is a very real possibility in these dungeons as I don't have Ramiris' cheat Skill 'Small World' which basically grants her complete control over anything in her Domain, basically she can make respawn points if she so wished. I can't, the data Odin has gathered on 'Small World' is nowhere near enough for that. So if you die in the dungeon, you're gone for good.
Not to mention that the dungeons are quite difficult to find, I left some maps lying in some pawn shops, and for the others I had Odin come up with riddles, and poems that could lead to the location of the dungeons.
Now for the Unique Grade weapons I want the dungeons to be super difficult, but not impossible. They do get Unique Grade weapons at the end of it after all.
I can probably use more Magic traps in these dungeons, for the Rare-Grade dungeons I only had relatively common traps like poison darts, flaming hallways, pitfall traps, basically the super common stuff.
But for the Unique Grade dungeon maybe I could use some Magic, like maybe increase the Gravity little by little as the challengers get closer to the weapon. I can also make the dungeon have different environments, one where it is freezing cold, and another where it is burning hot. I can place some Illusions to confuse people as well, maybe I can create Illusions of some monsters from the Cardinal World to scare off the weaker challengers.
I can keep all of the Magics I leave around powered with an energy crystal, similar to what I am going to use to maintain the barriers I leave in this world.
Umu, I think that is sufficiently challenging, I only need to make two dungeons as I am going to leave the Frost Unique Grade weapon with the Old Man to pass onto someone. So I only need to seal the Gravity, and Curse Unique Grade weapons.
Hmm, maybe I can have the increased Gravity dungeon be where the Gravity Unique Grade is sealed, and I can even have the weapon be what is maintaining the increased Gravity so that whenever it finds a wielder the Gravity will go back to normal.
Then for the Curse Unique Grade I can have the dungeon give you a ton of debuffs upon entering the dungeon, like exhaustion, more sweating, minor headaches, sore body, loss of strength overtime.
Umu, these dungeons are going to be downright diabolical.
Now where should I construct these two dungeons? Hmm, maybe I can have one located in Japan, in Shibuya specifically as it is basically dead land at this point.
The amount of Cursed Energy that is perfuming the air of Shibuya isn't safe for any work to be done in, so it is just being left to rot, and I don't blame the government.
I can place the Curse dungeon in Shibuya, it just suits it.
For the Gravity dungeon maybe I can place it in a separate dimension and have specific stones that can be used as keys to teleport into the dungeon. I can have the stones locked into the Spatial Coordinates of the dimension so it will basically teleport whoever says a key phrase or something into the dungeon. And there will be a limited amount of stones so if they are all used up, then the Gravity Unique Weapon is gone for good.
I do need to find somewhere to connect the dimension to this world though, I mean I could manually connect the dimension to this world but that's extra work. Hmm maybe I can connect it to the house I'm staying at? But who knows what will happen once I leave this world, someone might just stumble upon the entrance to another dimension and get one shot by the enemies places there.
I guess I'll have to connect it to this world manually, thankfully the only Magicule cost will be the initial cost of creating the dimension, after that it doesn't need a continuous stream of Magicules to maintain itself.
'Odin, when I create the dimension can you fill it with everything necessary?'
'Answer. Yes.'
'Great thanks.'
Well might as well get this over with.
'Ouroboros.'
And with that I find myself in an entirely new dimension, one filled with oxygen, and everything that is necessary to be able to sustain a human temporarily. The dimension is the dungeon itself so there is nothing on the outside of the dungeon. Odin already set basically everything up, she made the dimension livable, along with placing various traps she was able to pick out from my memories.
Now all that I have to do is place the weapon at the end of the dungeon, and weave some Magic together to finish everything up.
Truly, my work never ends.
___________________________________________________________________
"Ah, home sweet home." I've been out almost all day today. I hid all the weapons, made some dungeons, created an entirely new dimension, and then I went and bought all the gifts for everyone back in the Cardinal World.
I got Veldora some Dragon Ball Z figurines, those cost a pretty penny. I bought Arcueid a super fancy dress, I'm not exactly sure about the specifics seeing as I don't know all that much about women's clothing, but it's a Ruby Plissé One-Shoulder Midi-Dress. Hopefully Arcueid likes it.
I plan to give Megumin an enchanted minigun. I already have the sweets for Milim, and then I got a bunch of doujins for Rimuru. I think he will appreciate it, quite a few of them are focused on Elves.
Lalatina along with Saeko's present still needs some time to get ready so I'm still waiting on that. I still can't believe I actually went through with Lalatina's gift. Oh well, I think she'll be happy, and I do care for Lalatina so it's not that big of a deal.
Any normal male will begin to care for whoever they're sleeping with, and Lalatina is an eager little thing, always willing to do whatever I tell her, no matter how degrading or disrespectful it is to her as a Primordial. In fact she gets overjoyed when I tell her to do those kinds of things.
Any male with a sex drive would eventually grow to care for their self proclaimed masochistic love slave. Umu, I am speaking pure facts!
I went to a music store and bought every piece of sheet music they had as well as the lyrics of every song they sold. It's safe to say I got a massive collection for Ingvild.
I have all the gifts safely stored in Stomach so I don't need to worry about those.
After getting everyone's gifts I went to my mother's grave, it wasn't difficult to find as her grave obviously wouldn't be moved. It wasn't located in Shibuya either so it wasn't destroyed by Sukuna.
I ended up staying there for a little bit, just telling her about what I've been up to, of course I placed a barrier around us before that, you never know who could be listening in after all.
Neither Odin or I sensed any sort of listening devices but I decided to err on the side of caution.
Before I left I placed some flowers and some Spells that would keep the grave in peak condition, along with preventing any sort of vandalizing.
It was also pretty weird seeing my own grave.
As I was approaching the living room Raiden appeared in front of me.
"Welcome back Master!"
I gave her a smile,
"Thanks Raiden." I sniffed slightly and smelt an appetizing aroma. "What are you making? It smells super good!"
She smiled at my praise.
"Ah, I wanted to try a more western dish, but with the best ingredients so I ordered an A5 Wagyu Steak for all three of us to try. According to the research I have done it has amazing marbling, and the dish itself has no need for side dishes. What you are smelling is my test run, I wished to experience cooking the meat ahead of time so that I was prepared for when you wished to eat it Master."
My eyebrows raised in surprise, after all who hasn't heard of A5 Wagyu Steak? It's one of the best possible meats you can try after all. They are all also notoriously expensive.
A lot of meats in the Cardinal World are to die for, but I'm curious about how A5 Wagyu tastes like, I've never had the opportunity to try it after all.
"I see! I've always wanted to try that, well it smells amazing so far so keep it up!" I said, giving her a thumbs up.
"Yes Master! Did you want any snacks before we eat dinner?"
"Hmm, no I think I'm good, thanks though."
"It is my duty Master, and one I do with joy." She curtsied.
"I know it is Raiden, I truly lucked out finding you on that mountain that day."
"No, it is I who lucked out."
"Haha, well we're both fortunate I guess." Maybe Fortunate One guided me to her? I wonder how large of an influence this Skill has had on my life. It may be a mere Extra Skill, but it is one that increases my fortuitous encounters along with my charisma and general luck.
"Ah, welcome back Master!" I turned to where the voice came from and wasn't surprised to see Kurumi standing in the hallway.
"Hey Kurumi, I'm happy to be back, I missed you both." I noticed Raiden blushing in the corner of my vision, but I was surprised to see Kurumi gain a blush as well. I always thought she was the mature one, but it seems my good looks are truly too much.
"Ara, I missed you as well my Master"
"Haha, glad to hear it, so what have you been up to?"
"I have been playing the game known as 'Smash'.
Ah, has Kurumi become a gamer? No, it takes far more than mere days to earn that status, it must be earned through blood, sweat, and tears.
"Well, at least you're having fun."
"Umu!" Kurumi nodded,
I looked towards Raiden, "How long until the food is ready?" I did call her ahead of time letting her know when I'd be back so that she could prepare everything ahead of time.
"It is ready whenever you wish to eat Master."
"Oh! Well then are you both fine with eating now? I've always wanted to try a Wagyu Steak, and it smells amazing. It's hard to resist!"
"I am fine with whenever you wish to eat Master." Said Kurumi
"Then I shall begin cooking the food." I nodded.
Kurumi and I took our seats at the dining table and chatted about what we were doing all day while we waited for Raiden to finish cooking the steak.
It didn't take long for the aroma to intensify causing both Kurumi and I to salivate.
I could already tell that this meal was going to be great.
Soon enough Raiden brought out two plates, each had a beautiful piece of meat on them.
"Ah! That looks great Raiden!" Exclaimed Kurumi
Raiden set down a plate in front of me, "Indeed, it does look amazing."
"Thank you Master."
She went back to the kitchen to get her plate, and then we finally began to dig in.
And boy was it delicious, the meat practically melted in my mouth, it was so fatty and juicy. It was seasoned with pretty simple spices as well, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Truly this meal was worth every penny.
We all finished our food in less than 10 minutes. "Ah, that was super good Raiden. It's similar to some of the better meats from back in the Cardinal World."
"Indeed, I'm surprised that it was able to compare to the meat from our world, nice job Raiden!"
This Wagyu meat was only matched by the meat of A Rank Monsters, it costs far less than A Rank Monster meat too. Though I usually have someone hunt the Monsters rather than paying someone for the meat.
"Thank you Master, ah, and you too Kurumi."
"Hey, why am I just mentioned offhandedly?!"
Raiden ignored Kurumi and took all of our dishes to the kitchen.
"Hey Raiden! I'm talkin to you!" Unfortunately Kurumi was still ignored.
I gave her a head pat.
"There there Kurumi, I'm sure Raiden appreciates your compliment, you're her friend after all. She's probably just pulling your leg."
I noticed her nine tails starting to wag slightly, isn't that a dog thing?
"Hmph, she could at least seem more appreciative."
"Haha, well you know how she is."
"Indeed, anything not involving you she doesn't care much for."
"Ah, she does fulfill the cold maid trope, not caring for anything but their Master. Anyways, have you been working on training your summons? We do have that training dimension I made the other day."
"Indeed I have been making use of the dimension you created. I improved our overall coordination which was lacking due to us not having fought together much in recent times. And I also experimented with my newer summon's abilities."
"Nice!"
Kurumi has eight summons, or rather tailed beasts as they each inhabit one of her tails. Each has a unique ability that Kurumi can make use of when they inhabit her tails, but when she summons them she loses a tail, along with some of her overall magic power.
The White Ape has Wind and Sound Manipulation, the Moon Rabbit has Gravity Manipulation at a level far surpassing the Unique Grade weapon I made that specializes in Gravity. Her Black Rats can spread a disease that causes a high fever, and black spots to appear on the infected person's skin. The disease is extremely deadly and can only be cured by the Black Rats themselves or high level Holy Magic.
The Lightning Tiger has Lightning and Thunder Manipulation, but of course it can't hold a candle to Raiden. The Winged Serpent has Atmospheric Molecular Control so it can lower oxygen levels along with some other things. The Just Sheep is capable of manipulating the mind as well as Illusion Manipulation.
The Fire Flamingos have Fire Manipulation, and the Mirror Hound has Mirror Manipulation, which makes it capable of reflecting attacks back on the attacker, even Skills.
Of course I have named each of them further boosting their power along with Kurumi's as their power is added to hers when they are inhabiting her tails.
When all of her tailed beasts are in her tails Kurumi is a fearsome foe with a variety of abilities thanks to her summons, and a ton of Magic Power.
Ah! I should probably tell her about Hajime coming over tomorrow.
"Ah by the way Kurumi I agreed for you to spar with that lightning guy from the day we first came to this world. I remember you agreed back then so Hajime will be showing up tomorrow to spar with you. Apparently he has an interesting Technique that might help Raiden out, I hope you don't mind that."
Kurumi shook her head, "No, it is a pet's duty to obey her Master." Well alright then.
'Notice. The individual known as Ronald has adapted and molded to his new body. The Master can release him whenever he wishes.'
'Ah! Alright, thanks Odin.'
"Ah, something just came up, it seems that the Old Man has finished adapting to his new body so I'm going to go to the yard and release him. Tell Raiden the same if she asks where I am."
Kurumi nodded, "Yes Master."
The Old Man really took his time, he missed the time to eat the steak we just had as well.
Poor Old Man.
I teleported into the center of the dimension connected to the house we're staying at. I created this dimension when I was coming up with new Magic Spells the other day and didn't see a reason to get rid of the dimension just yet. We can use this dimension as a sort of training area after all.
Neither Raiden, nor Kurumi are capable of breaking this dimension with the power they possess so they can go all out in here.
Plus I can spar with the Old Man here, I'm sure he's going to want to get used to his new body. He molded it to perfectly fit him, but that doesn't automatically make him perfectly used to his new body. That'll come with time.
I raised my hand.
'Beelzebuth.'
A swirl of darkness appeared in front of my palm, and from inside it the Old Man was let out.
I watched him do some stretches, "Ah, it's nice to be out in the real world."
I rolled my eyes, "It's only been like a day and a half."
"Well it didn't feel like that."
"Wanna have a short spar to help you get used to your new body? I'll restrict my strength to that of an Arch Daemons for the duration of the spar, I don't want to beat you too quickly after all." I taunt.
"Ha! Gettin cocky now eh?" The Old Man responded.
"I'm strong enough to be as cocky as I want."
"Aye, you're right about that. Alright let's get this spar started!"
I waited for the old man to create a weapon using Material Creation before I attack, after all Spatial Severing is best used with a weapon.
Spatial Severing is a scary powerful Skill, it basically damages the target via the severing of space. I may not use it much since I haven't needed to, but if used properly it can even harm a True Dragon like Veldora since it can damage both physical and magical phenomena.
Since I've restricted my strength to that of an Arch Daemons it's probably best to come up with a strategy, my durability is still as absurd as ever, and I don't really have a way to control that so it would be a bit unfair if I blocked one of his attacks with my bare arm, as that would shatter the sword he just made instantly.
"Swordsmanship it is. You ready Old Man?" I say as I create a sword for me to use for the duration of this fight.
It's been a while since I've wielded any weapon in a fight, usually my Martial Arts, Skills, and Magic is more than enough to best any foe. At least I don't have to worry about my skill with the sword degrading.
"Ready when you are kid."
I give him a nod and then appear in front of the Old Man with my sword slashing towards him. He blocks it relatively easily and counter attacks with a jab of his own.
We continued with this routine for half an hour, the Old Man was slowly getting more and more worn out as I've been enhancing the force of my attacks using Gravity Manipulation.
We separated for a moment, the Old Man took the opportunity to say, "Ha! You've improved a lot kid! I can barely match you and that's when you're still restricting yourself!"
"Of course I'm not going to let myself stagnate, I've been improving little by little." Even though I don't use weapons much, I do still occasionally spar with Rimuru using pure swordsmanship, and to be able to match that guy, you need to be good.
Rimuru has been growing his swordsmanship at an astonishing pace, but I'm not complaining, after all Odin has been copying every single move he uses and adapting it to my own style. So when he grows, I grow.
Now how about I have a bit of fun? I may only have the strength of an Arch Daemon, but that should be more than enough for what I'm about to do. This is a move that I saw Agera perform in a spar of his against Megumin. Of course she stomped him, but the attack itself was quite beautiful.
The Old Man tenses up slightly, likely sensing what I'm about to do, but it's far too late.
"Hundred Petals Rush!"
I charge at the Old Man, and slash at him in a hundred different ways, each slash unseeable to even the best swordmasters. The Old Man managed to block a few of my strikes but he couldn't block them all, he just wasn't capable of it.
Hundred Petals Rush works by delivering a hundred devastating strikes in a flash, quite simple but unblockable to most.
I stood across from the Old Man as he stood there, seemingly shocked by what he just witnessed. I made sure to control my strength so all of my attacks that did land on him were only cuts at worst.
"That, that was amazing kid, I lost. I've only seen one man do something similar, and even his didn't look as masterful as yours."
Ah, I should probably tell him about Agera serving me huh? Well I can do that later.
"Haha, well you didn't do too bad yourself." And that wasn't just empty praise. The Old Man was a master at the sword, someone I'm sure Hakurou would love to challenge.
This spar has given me some new ideas that I'd like to try. What if instead of just a hundred strikes, I do a thousand or more? That would be extremely hard to manage in a short period of time, but I do like a challenge.
And then what if I incorporate some other elements into it, like maybe coating my sword in Veldora's Storm attribute, or what about Stardust?
Such an attack would be absolutely monstrous. I smirked as I thought of creating such an attack.
Indeed, this spar was quite enjoyable, I may have only used an infinitesimal fraction of my true power, but that doesn't mean I didn't have fun. Now I only wish that I had someone that I could fight equally with just Magic. A fight where we only utilize our magical knowledge, no Skills, only pure Magic.
It would be fun to test my new Magic against someone like that, hmm maybe in my next somewhat serious fight I should only utilize Magic?
That sounds fun.
I'll have to think about it, I'd only feel comfortable doing such a thing where I'm certain that I won't lose.
I shake my head, oh well, those are thoughts for another time.
I dissolve the sword I created into Magicules and the Old Man does the same.
"Man that was a fun spar, I got a few new things I discovered that I can work on. Fighting a superior opponent always helps one grow." He's not wrong about that.
The Old Man's injuries were just about done healing so he should be ready to go in now.
"Alright, you ready to go inside? I can explain exactly what I want you to watch over in this world."
"Yeah, let's go." He nodded
I grabbed his shoulder and teleported us back into the living room. Kurumi wasn't here anymore.
….
It seems she's in her room playing more Smash. I should introduce her to some more games, playing just Smash is bound to get boring at some point. It would be funny seeing her deal with Call of Duty lobbies.
"Ah, welcome back Master. And welcome back to you as well Lord Ronald."
I turned towards Raiden who was in the hallway, she seemingly just finished cleaning up my room seeing as she is right in front of it.
"Good to be back lass, looks like you just finished some of your work eh?"
"Yes, I was cleaning my Master's room just before I sensed you two teleporting in."
"Hardworking huh?"
I decided to interrupt here, "She's always like that, she doesn't even take any vacation if I don't order it."
"It is my duty and honor to serve as your full time maid for as long as you wish. I would not be a good maid if I was not with my Master at all times."
"Yeah yeah, I know you've told me. I appreciate always having you around so thanks."
I noticed the slightest hint of red appear on Raiden's cheeks, it seems she is becoming resistant to my compliments.
"Thank you Master."
Ronald sent me a shit eating grin but I just rolled my eyes at him.
"Ah! I packed and sealed a meal for when you returned Ronald-sama, would you like it now?" Ah what a thoughtful girl.
"I would love to, thanks for that."
"It is no problem."
Raiden then left to prepare the food she had stored safely giving me time to explain some of the situation to the Old Man.
Maybe he has some ideas that I haven't thought of?
We both took seats across from each other, the Old Man looked eager to hear what I had planned so I saw no reason to delay further.
"Alright so let me give you a bit of background on this world first."
He nodded, "Indeed, that would be helpful."
I snapped my fingers and created a Barrier around us.
"I'll start with the basics, I'm sure you've sensed the energy around us by now, and I'm sure you've noticed that it isn't Magicules."
"Indeed, it seems to be some sort of negative inclined energy."
"You're right, it's called Cursed Energy and it is basically emitted from all humans when they feel any sort of negative emotion."
I then went on to explain everything about this world, Cursed Energy, Cursed Spirits born from Cursed Energy, Jujutsu Sorcerers, Innate Techniques, Domains, Cursed Tools, the politics involved in Jujutsu Society and so on.
Raiden stepped in during my explanation and gave the Old Man his food. It was no Wagyu Steak but it looked good.
Raiden ended up sitting next to me and listening to my explanation seeing as she doesn't know nearly as much about this world as I do, and Kurumi soon shifted into her fox form and took a seat in my lap.
"Those are some incredibly interesting abilities, especially those Domain Expansions you mentioned." The Old Man commented.
"Indeed Master, such an ability could prove troublesome to even one such as I depending on the sure hit attack's effects." Raiden seemed to be interested in Domain Expansions.
"Umu, there is a reason it is so rare for anyone to be capable of using it. Now that you know the basics about this world let's talk about the people of importance. There is Gojo Satoru, the strongest Sorcerer in the world along with being my cousin."
The Old Man's eyes widened in shock, "Your cousin?!"
Ah, I might have skipped past that. "Ah, yeah I forgot to mention that this is the world I was in before reincarnating as a Daemon. Though I was a relatively normal human, I wasn't a Jujutsu Sorcerer, I wasn't even capable of seeing Cursed Spirits."
The Old Man sighed, "You gotta mention these things right off the bat kid."
"Haha, yeah my bad."
I then went on to explain all the recent events I could recall, from the events of season 1 of the anime, to where I left off on Satoru's sealing. The Old Man didn't question why I knew what I did, probably assuming I learned in this world, either that or he's just minding his own business, you never know with him.
"So this Yuji kid is the one that's going to be helping me for 10 years huh?" He asked.
"Mhmm."
"Well he seems like a good kid, not many that are willing to help others to the extent that he has shown to be willing to do."
"Indeed, he's a bit too nice, but he's a good kid at heart."
"So what happened next?"
"I'm not exactly sure what happened after Satoru's sealing but I do know a little bit. A bunch of Sorcerers were killed including Nanami. Mahito was killed, and Kenjaku, the person possessing Geto used his Cursed Spirit Manipulation to extract Mahito's Technique which fulfilled the requirements to begin the Culling Games."
"How come Kenjaku didn't absorb Mahito a long time ago?" Ah, that's a good question.
"Basically when a Cursed Spirit is absorbed by Cursed Manipulation, the Spirit and their Technique is no longer capable of growth, and until that point Mahito was not at the stage where Kenjaku needed him to be so he left him temporarily. During Mahito's fight with Yuji and Todo he had grown a significant amount, from what I heard he sort of transcended being a mere Cursed Spirit, his understanding of his Technique also increased significantly."
"I see, so after all that Mahito was finally at the stage where Kenjaku needed him to be huh? Basically a lamb raised for the slaughter." Said the Old Man.
"Yup, shithead deserved it though. Anyways Sukuna also ended up fighting the volcano Special Grade Cursed Spirit, Jogo. He ended up killing him in that fight."
"This Sukuna seems to be quite impressive, his Technique allows him two useful abilities, Cleave and Dismantle, let alone his Domain Expansion." He commented.
"Indeed, he is considered the strongest on par with Satoru for a valid reason. Anyways after Kenjaku began the Culling Games using Mahito's Technique is when my knowledge becomes a bit more iffy." Learning every single thing that happened during the Culling Games is nigh impossible at this point since I wasn't there. But I believe that I know the key points.
I retold all the events as I understood them, most of this information was gained from talking to Yuji and Satoru so it should be mostly correct.
I told him about the general goal of the Culling Game, the important members like Kurusu, Higuruma the Lawyer, Takaba the Comedian. Boy was the Old Man surprised when I told him about Takaba's Technique.
I told him about Maki's massacre of the Zenin Clan, Yuji and Megumi meeting up and their first encounter with Kurusu, Sukuna possessing Megumi, and Mahoraga's abilities. Sukuna killing Megumi's sister, and everything in between.
When we got to the one month ceasefire that Satoru and Sukuna agreed to, the Old Man said, "You said you show up during that fight?"
"Yup, I'll create an illusion of my point of view while I was watching that fight. That way you can see everything first hand."
The Old Man smirked, "Heh, this is bound to be entertaining."
Raiden nodded, "Indeed, it was interesting watching a man with similar abilities to my Master, though he was far lesser than Master."
Kurumi snorted, "As if anyone could compare to the abilities of our Master."
"Indeed Kurumi." Raiden looked pleased, Ah, this is getting really embarrassing. They just had to do this in front of the Old Man?
The Old Man was smirking my way but I just created the Illusion so that he doesn't get the time for his teasing.
He focused on the fight but I could tell he would mess with me about what just happened later.
We all watched what I saw from the moment I entered this world.
"That Adaptation ability is powerful. It's a good thing you were able to get your hands on it huh?"
"Indeed, it will only make me stronger." Being able to adapt to anything at all will be a godsend, it will be similar to my Resist Skills that make me basically immune to a bunch of things like elemental damage, physical attacks, poison, and a bunch of other stuff, and Resist Skills are incredibly broken, well maybe not in the Cardinal World seeing as there are a ton of busted Skills, but in other worlds they would be incredible.
Once we got to my entrance the Old Man looked at me and said, "What a way to make an entrance you show off."
I tilted my head up at him, "I'm a Demon Lord, I have to make a memorable entrance, it's only proper."
Raiden and Kurumi nodded along as if what I was saying was natural, and it totally, completely was. I definitely didn't just want to live out my chunni fantasies, no that would be improper.
The Old Man didn't look like he bought what I said for some inexplicable reason. He closed his eyes and shook his head, "Sure kid, sure."
We got to the part where I basically manhandled Sukuna with Explosion Magic from Konosuba, and then replicated his Cleave with Battlewill and Aura alone.
The Illusion ended once I consumed Sukuna with Beelzebuth.
"Well that was an interesting introduction to this world, now that I have the general gist of what's going on, what is it you plan to do with all this chaos. You said it would be interesting so I'm listening."
I smirked, he was going to like this. Raiden and Kurumi also looked extremely interested which is only natural as I haven't shared my complete plan with them, only bits and pieces.
"Basically all the world's governments know about Cursed Energy, they are quite upset at Japan for hogging such an energy source, probably due to their delusions of Cursed Energy being the key to infinite energy. Morons. The only thing stopping an all out war is Satoru, and probably me. Foreign governments are terrified of our prowess so they are controlling themselves. Obviously I am eventually going to leave this world, and Satoru will eventually die."
"Oh? Do you want me to be what is stopping an all out war? That sounds interesting but not quite what you were hinting at."
"Ha! Nothing like that. So you know that the reason for the birth of Jujutsu Sorcerers and Cursed Spirits is so high in Japan right?"
"Yeah, that barrier or whatever that that guy Tengen placed right?"
"Yup! So I plan to recreate those conditions all over the world, I already have all the Magic figured out. Basically those kinds of conditions will cause the birth of Sorcerers and Cursed Spirits all over the world at a rate far greater than before. If everyone has access to Cursed Energy just as freely as Japan then they won't be able to worry about Japan anymore as everyone has access to Cursed Energy. Countries are going to be panicking trying to retain their power on the global stage, they won't have the capability to blame Japan for something they had no real part in. They'll be too busy worrying about themselves. On top of that I plan to release dungeons with rewards people will be craving for to keep them occupied for a long long time."
"It will be the coming of a new age!" I stood up and spread my arms wide
Raiden and Kurumi began clapping so I bowed, "Thank you, thank you."
The Old Man just looked shocked. He sighed, "You know you're batshit crazy kid."
"Haha, being sane is for the weak and boring!"
"Ugh, you really let the strength get to your head." Get to my head? Me? No never.
"Well I can't deny that it sounds fun, so what exactly do you want me to do?"
"Nothing too hard, it's up to you how you go about this but I want you to make sure nothing goes super out of control. There is bound to be chaos but I don't want the world to end or anything. Wars might happen, it's a natural part of human nature after all. You're free to interfere whenever you feel it is necessary, and you can take whatever position you want, you can be a hidden mastermind or a global leader, whatever floats your boat. There shouldn't be anyone in this world capable of truly harming you except Satoru Gojo, and even then he would need to become quite a bit stronger than he currently is to even have a chance at that."
I extended my hand, "So what do you say? You in?"
The Old Man smirked as he grabbed my hand, "Hell yeah I am kid. I've been sitting around too long anyways, I guess it's about time that I had a bit of fun."
I explained some of the more minor details of my plan to him before I had Raiden show the Old Man to a room to hang out in and went to my room to prepare for bed.
After some time I heard a knock on my door, already knowing who it was, I opened it and smirked. I was met face to face with a blushing Raiden so I did what any man would in my position. I grabbed her and pulled her in which began our steamy session for tonight.
___________________________________________________________________
I watched on as Kurumi's summons continued to push Hajime Kashimo on the defensive. I already replaced Hajime's vessel and called Ijichi to pick up the unconscious host.
Apparently Kurumi wanted to improve their coordination with each other which is the entire reason she agreed to this spar.
We are all currently in the training dimension I made, well except the Old Man, he is wandering around and exploring. There is no risk of destroying things that I don't want to be destroyed since we're in this dimension so that's good. Might as well use this dimension for what it was created for after all.
Kurumi is only using two of her summons for this spar, and Kurumi herself is staying out of it. Anymore than two and Hajime would be absolutely demolished, even two seems to be quite tough for him, and that's when the summons aren't focusing on the offensive, they are more trying combo attacks and experimenting with new strategies.
It's like I told Hajime when I first met him, if he chose to fight either Raiden or Kurumi he would basically be their chew toy, and that's what's happening here.
Currently the summons that are fighting Hajime are the Mirror Hound and Just Sheep.
A pretty decent combo as the Just Sheep can use an illusion to hide whatever attack the Mirror Hound sends back.
Currently Hajime is in a sort of transformed state thanks to his Technique. His Technique is quite interesting, in fact I think I will have Odin edit Raiden's Unique Skill to include this function when we get back to the Cardinal World.
Basically it allows him to reconstruct his flesh in order to manifest any phenomena that can be created by electricity. This has a cost however, Hajime's physique can't handle such a thing for long so he is limited by time, and if there is no healer around, he could even die.
Of course Raiden won't have such a restriction if Odin is able to edit her Skill to include these effects. She is a Dragon after all, she can handle such a thing.
Unfortunately that ability isn't enough to beat Kurumi's summons as they can just avoid his attacks at speeds Hajime can't follow. The summons might be considered quite weak for any of my direct subordinates, but they are bonafide Calamity Class monsters, not something that Hajime can take on should they get serious.
I noticed Hajime gathering some energy in his hands, a good plan but unless it's at an extremely fast speed then the summons will just avoid it, or reflect it.
I watch as he fires a beam of pure electricity, Mirror Hound jumps in front of the attack and absorbs it, but before it can fire it back Hajime collapses.
"Ah, that's it for me. Man I thought I'd at least be able to leave a dent with that attack. Just how much power can that hound hold?" Ah, maybe he was hoping that Mirror Hound had a limit as to how much it could reflect, so he put everything he had into that last attack.
Unfortunately for Hajime, he could never reach such a limit on his own.
I approached the lying down Hajime. "Happy now?"
"Haha, that was great! Haven't had a fight where I've been put on the defensive for the entire match in so long!"
"Good, then you can leave after I heal you."
I aimed my palm in his direction and used Holy Magic to heal his body, no need to waste a potion after all.
"Haha, alright, I won't overstay my welcome." He stretched a bit and then looked at Kurumi. "Thanks for bringin those guys out for me to have fun with."
"Indeed, my summons were able to learn a fair bit from this spar." At least Kurumi was able to achieve what she wanted to.
"Thanks for that Kurumi, I got to analyze his Technique. It should help me improve Raiden's Skill a bit." Raiden can already turn into Lightning using her Unique SKill, but the data from Hajime's Technique might be able to improve that ability, as she can only turn into lightning whereas Hajime's Technique allows him to manifest any phenomena that can be created using electricity. Something that Raiden should be capable of with some training, but I might as well make it easier for her.
After all, if you aren't cheating the system, then you aren't trying.
"Indeed, his use of his Technique was quite similar to my own Skill, if focused on a different aspect, I can do something similar on my own with some practice, but still thank you Kurumi." Said Raiden
"Hmph, no problem, I was just doing what Master told me to do after all."
Raiden nodded. "Indeed, as you should."
For some reason Kurumi pouted after hearing that. Was she being a tsundere with Raiden?
I clapped my hands. "Alright, let's head inside."
They both nodded.
Once we were inside I noticed that the Old Man was back. Hmm, wasn't he friends with Agera? I should probably tell him that Agera is serving me now, he might want to see him after all.
I teleported to where I knew the Old Man was, walking is for plebs after all.
The Old Man looked up from the book he was reading. "Ah, hey kid."
I waved. "Sup, you just get back?"
"Indeed, so much has changed, while I never saw Japan in person in my old life, I did know bits and pieces about it. All the modern technology, these phones have advanced an incredible amount. Everything is different."
"Yup, a bunch of new fun things."
He nodded. "So what did you need me for? I assume you didn't come talk to me just for that."
"Nah, you know that old friend of yours that you said taught you some swordsmanship, well he was one of the Lieutenants of the Primordial of Yellow, so he's also serving me now if you want to see him. I named him Agera."
"Ghaha, so that guy is serving you now huh? I guess it makes sense, he was always incredibly loyal to Jaune so he would follow her to serve her Master. Nah, I'm good, I don't need to see him, we'll see each other whenever we see each other. I'm sure he feels the same way."
I shook my head, old people are weird.
"Alright then, have fun with your… book."
I've already given the Old Man the Frost Unique Blade so he could give it to whoever he wishes to, he's keeping it in his Spatial Storage.
Seems like I'm almost done with everything I want to do in this world huh? I'll have to set everything up for my game then.
