- Milim Nava -

She watched as her new bestie went through an evolution.

His strength had grown significantly throughout this evolution.

According to her Milim Eye he was over 10 times stronger than he was previously, now his aura is just a little bit weaker than Valentine.

Hmm, why is she playing at being a maid again? Whatever it isn't any of her business.

Maybe she can get her new Bestie to become a Demon Lord, then they can have more fun during a Walpurgis.

Maybe he can join in on some of her pranks?

Umu, she will make her Bestie become a Demon Lord.

That's for later though, for now he needs to rest, hmm maybe she should take him to her kingdom.

He can fight some of the Dragon Faithful to get used to his strength there, and they can have a lot of fun.

She wonders what other kinds of fun games he has?

She also wants to learn where he got that honey from.

It was so good!

Maybe she can spar with him too, he won't get hurt because of that annoying ability of his after all.

She also needs to go tell Ramiris and Guy about her new bestie, they will be so jealous.

- Felix -

I opened my eyes and saw Purple's face.

Huh, am I laying on her lap?

And did I evolve?

'Yes. Your evolution into a Daemon Duke was completed successfully.'

I see, that's good.

"Felix-sama! You've awakened!"

Hmm?

"Good morning Felix-sama."

"Morning Purple."

Hmm, now that I've evolved can I name Purple?

'Yes, you can name her without any drawbacks.'

Really?

Also, aren't you speaking much more fluently?

'No. This is how I have always spoken.'

Really? Am I imagining things then?

No, I don't think I am, you sound way more fluent.

'Notice. The truth is that your Unique Skill: Cursed One has evolved into the Ultimate Skill: Odin, Lord of Cursed Knowledge.'

Odin! You must be impressive if you have a God King's name.

'There is no question that I can not answer, and no skill that I can not copy.'

You can even copy skills! Nice, that's gonna be useful.

What about Studious One though? 

'Unique Skill: Studious One was sacrificed in order to evolve Unique Skill: Cursed Sage.'

Sacrificed! But can't you copy skills?

'Correct.'

So it's less of a sacrifice and more like you absorbed Studious One then? 

'Correct.'

I see.

Hmm, but you do speak more fluently don't you?!

'No. It's your imagination.'

You aren't gonna change your mind on that huh?

Oh well, whatever.

"Felix-sama, do you need anything? I can get you whatever you need!"

Ah I forgot that I was laying on Purple's lap.

I get off of her lap much to her dismay and turn to look at her, "You have served me well so far so how about I grant you a name?"

"A name! I would be honored to have a name granted to me by you!"

"I see, let me think then."

Hmm, a name, I always sucked at these kinds of things.

Hmm, purple hair, uses a sword, who does this remind me of.

Aha, got it.

"I name you Saeko."

There was a bright glow after which she promptly fell unconscious. 

I quickly catch her before she hits the floor and lay her on the bed that's in the room we are in.

Huh, she's probably evolving, I wonder what she will evolve into, maybe an Oni?

Hmm, how long has it been since I fell unconscious, and where are we?

I take control over Universal Sense to figure out where I am, and boy am I surprised.

First off the range on it has massively increased, I can feel multiple countries away.

I sense Milim nearby so she is still around, it seems like I'm in the country she rules.

I can detect a bunch of Dragonewts along with some other majin, her country's population seems to be a little less than one hundred thousand.

Since there isn't much else to do while I wait for Milim to get here I decide to figure out what my new and upgraded skills do.

Ultraspeed Regeneration is basically Self-Regeneration on steroids, basically any injury that doesn't instantly kill me can be regenerated.

After that I got quite a few new Resistances along with some of my old Resistances evolving so that's great.

Being immune to a bunch of things will be incredibly useful, hell in some worlds even one of my Nullifications would be considered a god like ability and I have multiple of them!

Now to my newest and highest ranking skill Odin.

An Ultimate Skill, it's nice to know that there are skills beyond the Unique level.

Hmm, reminds me of Odin from To Aru.

Now Odin can do quite a few things, it inherited the functions of Cursed Sage but it improved those abilities multiple times over.

For example Thought Acceleration can accelerate my thoughts by a million times rather than just the thousand times it was capable of as Cursed Sage.

That makes it as if 1 second feels like 277 hours.

That's 11.5 days where it would appear like time is frozen.

More than enough time to process and think of plans in the midst of a fight.

I was able to discover a few more nuanced uses of Thought Acceleration as well, I can use it to speed up cast times of magic. Say I was using one of the most complicated spells in existence, the normal one day cast time could be done in one tenth of a second.

Hell, I can even extend Thought Acceleration's effects onto someone else, say if I was to continue to punch someone for a few seconds, they would feel over a month of constant excruciating pain from my punches. Pain is all they would know for that month

Thought Acceleration can be absolutely absurd if used right.

Along with upgrading my older skills it also got some new skills, though rather than new skills it's more like it inherited Studious One's abilities along with a few extra abilities.

First off it can merge and separate skills to create greater and lesser skills but at a higher level than previously.

I can use that to freely alter skills as well, quite an overpowered ability.

The second ability is an ability I didn't have before, Future Attack Prediction. 

It has the ability to predict future attacks in the form of light trails that only I can see, but the most terrifying part isn't that aspect of the ability but the fact that all predicted attacks are guaranteed to happen.

That has to be some form of Precognition or Causality Manipulation.

The next ability it inherited from Studious One is its ability to copy skills, arts, and magic's, except it can copy skills at the Ultimate Skill level.

Even more Ultimate Skills for me!

It doesn't even need a lot of effort, it just needs to see the Ultimate Skill in use then it can analyze it and copy it.

Even if it doesn't get the entire picture it will copy the full skill with all its abilities included.

Man am I overpowered, or rather Odin is overpowered.

'Correct, I am the most suitable skill for Master.'

Master huh?

Anyways that's all of Odin's abilities.

Now onto my other upgrades, I can feel my magicule capacity has multiplied by at least 10 times.

That's absurd, I could destroy a country before, I wonder what I can destroy now, maybe a continent?

Who knows?

I clenched my fists and could feel how much physically stronger I've become.

I feel like I could destroy a mountain with a casual punch, maybe I can?

Could there be even more evolutions?

After all it wasn't known that there was an evolution after Arch Daemon, but look how that turned out.

Well that's a future goal to shoot for.

As I was pondering about that I felt Milim start to head over to my location, she must've felt that I woke up.

It wouldn't surprise me if she had something like Universal Sense.

Soon enough Milim burst through the door, "Aha you woke up Bestie! You've gotten a lot stronger too! Now we can play even more games!"

"Yeah, I just woke up Milim, how long was I unconscious for and am I correct in assuming we're in your domain?"

"Yup, I didn't know where else to take you so I brought you here, you've been sleeping for 1 day. You can train with some of the Dragon Faithful and we can spar too. You're quite strong now, you know?"

"Hmm, out of curiosity how would I compare to the Demon Lords?"

She made a thinking pose, "Hmm, well some of the Demon Lords are really weak, and then some are really strong like me! You are easily far stronger than Clayman, Frey and Carrion. You're probably around the level of Valentine, the Queen of Vampires."

The Queen of Vampires huh, wait wasn't it supposed to be the King of the Vampires? I guess the ruler must've changed since the last time the Old Man was summoned.

"Queen of Vampires? Wasn't it supposed to be the King of Vampires, Roy Valentine?"

"Oh that's just her servant playing as her, her true identity is Luminous Valentine."

Luminous Valentine? Wait as in the God Luminous, Luminous Valentine?

What the fuck.

Why does a Demon Lord have a cult that kills monsters?

Still that makes me stronger than quite a few of the Demon Lords, since as far as I know Valentine holds the fifth seat of the Ten Great Demon Lords. 

Who knows though, maybe the seat orders aren't based completely on strength.

Still I at least know that I am stronger than three Demon Lords for sure, that's still quite the accomplishment.

Milim looked to the side at where Saeko was resting and said, "You named her huh? Good, you need strong subordinates if you want to be a strong Demon Lord like me! Umu. You just need to go through the Harvest Festival since you already have a Demon Lord Seed."

Demon Lord Seed? Harvest Festival? What are those?

Hold on there a second, I think she just said something extremely concerning, "A Demon Lord? Why would I become a Demon Lord?"

"So we can have more fun of course! We can prank the other Demon Lords and have fun during the Walpurgis."

"How would I even become a Demon Lord and go through this Harvest Festival whatever that is? Also what's a Demon Lord Seed and how do I have it? And Walpurgis? What's that?"

"I can help you join the Demon Lord council easily, I am the great Milim Nava after all, you just need to get one other Demon Lord to endorse you or just kill another Demon Lord and take their seat. You can easily kill Clayman, he has been acting sketchy lately, and the Walpurgis is just a tea party for the Demon Lords to meet and have fun. As for a Demon Lord Seed you can get that whenever you gain the qualifications of going through the Harvest Festival. The Harvest Festival is the process of ascending into a True Demon Lord by sacrificing 10,000 human souls, but you can do it with 30,000 or so majin souls as well, human souls are just stronger so you need less."

10,000 souls!

That would require me to kill an army or something, not something I'm keen on doing just for more power. It's just not me.

A tea party? Demon Lords have tea parties?

"Ah, I think I'll hold off on the Harvest Festival then, also True Demon Lord? Aren't all the Demon Lords on the council True Demon Lords?"

"Nope! Clayman, Frey and Carrion aren't True Demon Lords along with Dagruel but Dagruel is special.

Hmm I see, so you don't need to be a True Demon Lord to be on the council huh?

"Alright Milim, let's leave that talk for another time."

"Hmm okay, follow me I'll show you around and introduce you to the Dragon Faithful."

I nod as I look towards the still resting Saeko and decide to use Isolate just in case as I follow Milim out of the room.
