The Forty Fourth

When I reached the entrance I was greeted by Thetia the dungeon core. I told her to create a training room geared for me in the dungeon and apparently she already had one. What does she do in her free time other than constantly make more floors? When she teleported me there it definitely was not a room but more like a literal hell. This 'room' had multiple different sections I could access by pressing a button on a board each with different labels of difficulties. Although the difficulties ranged from Insanity to hell so I think there is something wrong with the damn difficulty system here! Is this how difficult it has to be or I won't get any training at all? Oh well I guess I will welcome hell with open arms for the next three days.

On the final day before the next match of the tournament, after my training, as I was walking back to the mansion, an idea struck me about how to deal with the outside world problem, but it will have to wait until after the tournament. When I stepped inside of the mansion all of my subordinates fell to their knees from the pressure I was releasing. Oops I forgot to disable that, oh well I guess that spoils the surprise of my new strength. After I released the pressure most of my subordinates were visibly sweating while others were…...well let's just say they acted like it was a reward for them. If I'm not mistaken Phantom should have stopped watching me after the second day so I've been wondering what she was up to. Nora was still sticking to me like normal. Oh and it looks like Dan evolved again during these days into a Nightmare Oni. That's a big jump from what he was before. That must have been why it took him so long to evolve until this point, he must have delayed his own evolution.

He still has his pitch black skin but now he was around my height, extremely muscular, his eyes were royal blue, and he had a horn growing from his head. It looks like everyone is truly taking this tournament seriously after seeing that fight. I decided that the day before the tournament I would enact the first step of the plan I came up with for taking on the outside world. When I checked on the level of pocket dimension it turned out to be level 6 and allowed me to create two subordinates at once. The dimension also flowed with more life and now passive animals are roaming around in it. Another thing that I have noticed was that the A.I. for the Pocket Dimension can now gain a physical appearance but I decided to hold off on that until I have a clear idea for what that would be. Lastly all of my subordinates can access the Pocket Dimension from wherever they are as long as I give them permission for it. I went to create two new subordinates that I would task to send to the outside world after training them. When I reached the room I pondered for a while as to what races they should be and slowly came to a decision for something that can infiltrate the world and form a secret organization with enough power that outside sources couldn't get involved. Since quite a few of my subordinates already are geared for speed and assassination why stop now. Why not just add something extra and make them different from the rest. It was almost time to show that world that I mean business.

This time I used two of the new available races for making twin subordinates. They would be a mix between elder vampires and liches without all of their boring weaknesses. I also wanted them to be able to use some mind magic so they could brainwash enemies and speak telepathically. I wanted them to be twin sisters with their only differing feature being the color of their hair. I also wanted them to be able to use whatever weapon of their choosing but only specialize in one once they master it. Once I finished with that the A.I. spoke up.

"Specialization has been completed for twin Elder Vampiric Liches. Based on previous assignments, skills [No Level Limit] and [Growth x4] have been applied as well. Continuing the creation process. Completion will be in one hour. Also I would really enjoy it if you made me a body sometime soon Master." I really didn't want to make a comment about the last thing the A.I. said but I guess I'll choose a body for it sometime soon after the tournament. While waiting I headed for the library with Nora following behind me slowly and Divinus surprisingly nowhere around. Oh well I guess I'll read with Nora for an hour, I'll let Divinus do his own thing for now. Nora found a certain book interesting about their being 14 divine beings all of which represent a good and bad side of the seven deadly sins. However that's not the end of it there are many, many more gods and goddesses in this world. Although there were special exceptions like heros, demon lords, or demon kings that weren't revered in that way but rather what role they filled. There are many others but at least not anything or anyone can be like that. The seven deadly sins, they would seem interesting to meet. I wonder if I will encounter the good or bad side of it first. After a while it was finally time to go meet my new subordinates.

Also the room for creating subordinates had gotten so much larger that it would put the dining room to shame. So everyone gathered in the room, and I mean everyone, golems included. I guess they wanted to meet their new kouhai so much that they forgot about the intense pressure from the tournament. Once everyone gathered, the twins were formed into existence with a blinding blue light. One of them had golden hair while the other had silver hair. The rest of them were the same down to the base. They had pure white eyes as if they were blind but could see clearly. Pale, almost blinding white skin, prosperous bosoms, thick thighs, and they were wearing maid clothes? But why though? Apparently the A.I. thought I would enjoy the clothing, I mean don't get me wrong it was a shot through the heart for me. However it was kinda out of place for almost everyone else. When the two of them gained consciousness they immediately bowed to me and for some reason everyone except for Divinus, Nora, and Al'Dae followed them in bowing. I quickly got everyone to stand up and brought them to the dining room to discuss the task I will be giving the two of them. While Elaine was cooking I started to explain to everyone my plans for the future.

"Keep in mind that before I explain everything, the tournament will still go on as planned, however I will implement a time limit on each match except for the last three of them. The time limit will be 30 minutes and whoever deals the most visible damage in the end from my perspective, wins." I paused for a moment to let the pressure sink in before moving on.
