DxD: THE LEGENDARY TRAVELER WITH SYSTEM

"Zaydas-sama, welcome back!" said the leader of the goblins, who had become a muscular man.

Rimuru had given him the name Rigurd.

Zaydas nodded.

Rigurd turned to Rimuru: "And, Rimuru-sama, congratulations on your humanoid form?!"

"Congratulations, Rimuru-sama!" the goblins said in unison. "And welcome back, Zaydas-sama!"

"Everything's fine, thank you," Rimuru replied with a wave of his hand.

Although he knew that, at this moment, the greeting directed at him was just a simple bonus, Zaydas still smiled at them.

"By the way, Rimuru-san, there's something I want to test." Zaydas looked at him. "When I arrived in this world, I gained an ability called Modeling. It's quite interesting; I think I can create anything as long as I have enough material."

"Seriously?" Rimuru's eyes lit up. "Hey, Zaydas-kun, do you still need potions? How about building some houses with that ability in exchange for them?"

"Haha, that's exactly what I want, but before that, I intend to create a plantation of rare herbs," Zaydas said. "After that, give me the names of the herbs used to make potions, okay?"

"Sure, sure," Rimuru agreed.

Rimuru understood how unique Zaydas's ability was. He even tried analyzing it with the Great Sage but was unsuccessful.

The concept behind this ability is more complicated than it seems. No, actually, it already seems quite complicated, given that even without seeds, he simply needs to till the land for something to grow.

"Zaydas-san, I'll go with some Hobgoblins to cut down some trees," Rimuru decided. "The Goblina's who know how to cook will help you, okay?"

"No problem," Zaydas nodded.

The celebration party lasted a few hours. After everything was over, Zaydas brought several trees and a large amount of soil to an open area a bit away from the village, where there used to be many trees.

"I'm going to start." Saying this, Zaydas floated, rising 20 meters into the sky.

Soon, a terrifying power began to emanate from his body, but fortunately, it was still under control.

Even so, the Hobgoblins trembled before such an overwhelming aura.

"As expected, Zaydas-sama is incredibly powerful!" the leader of the Hobgoblins exclaimed.

From the sky, magic circles appeared. Soon, from the magic circle, what looked like magicules began to envelop the trees and soil that had been stacked earlier.

In an instant, they witnessed something incredible. The wood began to be shaped into planks, the soil molded into clay roof tiles and window glass. Soon, everything started fitting together perfectly, producing loud construction sounds at an unbelievable speed, forming a two-story mansion with ten rooms.

In just ten minutes, a fully built mansion stood—something that would normally take months to construct.

When Zaydas stopped, the magic circles vanished.

He descended and looked at Rimuru in his human form: "What do you think, Rimuru-san? Isn't it cool?"

"Yes, very!" Rimuru nodded. "Can we start making some houses for the Hobgoblins too?"

"But of course, but before that, we need to build a mansion for you as well," Zaydas said. "As the mayor of this village, you have priority."

Rimuru joked, "Wouldn't it be simpler to just give me this mansion?"

"I could, but it's farther from the village. Still, do you want it?" Zaydas asked.

"Haha, I'm just joking, Zaydas-san," Rimuru laughed. "Anyway, can we continue, or do you need to rest?"

"We can continue. Doing this is simpler than you think. At first, it took me so long because it was my first time doing it," Zaydas replied.

"Ten minutes to build a mansion, and you call that a long time?" Rimuru grumbled.

Laughing, Zaydas asked the Hobgoblins to prepare things so he could build Rimuru's mansion, as well as their houses.

When they learned he was going to do this for them, everyone was overjoyed.

Who wouldn't want better living conditions?

Of course, they were happy!

It took an entire afternoon until, finally, Zaydas finished building.

He even shaped streets. Using Modeling, he could level the ground and make it harder. Now, the village, which had expanded to more than 20 acres of land, including the agricultural area, had become a large village compared to its previously miserable state.

"Wohohohoho!" The leader of the Hobgoblins, despite being a large and strong man, couldn't stop crying upon seeing how everything turned out.

Several Hobgoblins were dancing with joy.

Even Rimuru couldn't wipe the smile off his face.

"It's simply fantastic," Rimuru said. "Zaydas-san, you can count on me if you ever need anything."

"Of course." Zaydas asked, "By the way, Rimuru-san, you must have gained the abilities of the Fake Supergirl, right?"

Rimuru replied with a smile, "Yes, I gained the ability to fly, super strength, super speed, heat vision, X-ray vision, super hearing, and freezing breath."

"How about cosplaying as Superman in this world and going around saving the world?" Zaydas joked.

"Ahahaha..."

"Wait, you actually thought about it, didn't you?" Zaydas narrowed his eyes at him.

"O-Of course not!" Rimuru averted his gaze, changing the subject. "By the way, Zaydas-san, how long do you plan to stay this time?"

"Aren't you going to ask about another world?" Zaydas smiled.

"Actually, I'm curious about a lot of things, but I felt like I shouldn't ask about that," Rimuru replied honestly.

Zaydas remained silent.

A few seconds later, he said, "As you might have guessed, I can travel between dimensions. However, sorry, I won't say more than that, even to you."

"I completely understand, Zaydas-san," Rimuru said casually. "I won't ask you to take me to another dimension, don't worry."

"... It's not exactly that, but okay. I'm glad you think that way," Zaydas said. "Actually, since you have Veldora inside your body, I believe that because he is basically a rule of this world, if you try to leave this dimension with him, something terrible might happen."

Upon hearing that, Rimuru became lost in thought, most likely conversing with the Great Sage in his mind.

"Yes, you're right to think that way," Rimuru agreed.

"Answering your previous question," Zaydas said, "I plan to leave soon. By the way, is there anything you'd like me to bring you next time?"

"Something I desire?" Rimuru thought until he answered, "Yes, is it possible to bring some solar panels? The more, the better!"

"Of course, I'll do that," Zaydas agreed, saying, "As a bonus, I'll also bring some home appliances."

"As expected, I can count on you~" Rimuru said cheerfully.

Later, Zaydas went to the mansion he had created for himself with Rimuru.

In the area that would be his living room, Rimuru placed several potion bottles with labels indicating the fusion of each one.

"I assume you created this mansion because you plan to settle here as well, correct?" Rimuru suddenly asked.

"Yes," Zaydas confirmed.

"Alright! As I said before, if you need anything from me, just say the word." Rimuru patted his chest with his hand.

"Of course."

After Rimuru left, leaving him alone, Zaydas opened the sixth, seventh, and eighth gates of "Magic Master."

[-224,000 AP!]

A flood of information invaded his brain. Information about the abilities Photokinesis, Umbrakinesis, Chronokinesis, Geokinesis, Teleportation, and Interdimensional Travel became part of him.

No matter how he looked at it, it was simply too incredible, especially the last two abilities. Interdimensional Travel almost made Dimensional Leap surpass its level.

And although the concept was similar, Dimensional Leap was still superior to Interdimensional Travel.

While Interdimensional Travel allowed him to go to any dimension, Dimensional Leap basically enabled him to exist and act in multiple dimensions with a "simple leap."

Another interesting ability was Teleportation. Although he could already use it, it relied heavily on a magic circle, which made the process slow. However, Teleportation was an instantaneous jump to another place he had already seen, faster than a blink of an eye. Although the energy consumption was high, it was still something that could save lives.

Another ability that made him smile was Photokinesis and Umbrakinesis. Photokinesis basically increased his resistance to light, meaning sacred energy, while also allowing him to manipulate light—quite peculiar for him, being a Devil... Meanwhile, with Umbrakinesis, he could manipulate darkness.

He was tempted to open the new gate after gaining such powerful abilities, especially since Chronokinesis was the ability to control the flow of time. However, even though he had acquired the knowledge and could use each of these abilities, he had not yet mastered them completely.

'Great Sage, with Chronokinesis, I get a discount when altering the flow of time, right?' Zaydas asked.

[Answering. Yes, thanks to this, the cost has been halved.]

"Alright!" Zaydas smiled. But for now, he didn't intend to change anything.

It wasn't as if he wished to accelerate or slow down the TSSDK dimension.
