Latia, it would seem, can't escape from the shadow of genius.
First, it was her uncle, whose achievement put a load of expectations on the rest of her clan.
And now out of nowhere, she got summoned by the second coming of Solomon! The man's genius made the previous Solomon look like a caveman playing with stone tools compared to what she saw.
The most obvious creation so far is the woman next to him, who called herself his creation multiple times already.
She knows that it is not truly a living being but more like living magic, in a sense. The blonde devil beauty is still trying to comprehend what kind of place she has just ended up in.
The magic in the air is extremely potent and it's neutral in type. Meaning it's quite pleasing to be here as it is.
After the initial embarrassing greeting, they went to the living room.
"Your decorations are… interesting…" Latia commented as she looked at the ceiling. Seeing fish swimming there...
"It's a river, not an aquarium if you are asking," Marcus said with a smile, he loves the reaction which comes after seeing the ceiling.
Latia's eyes slightly widened before calming down quickly.
"We are underground?"
[Master has a thing for Underground bases…] Quinella said with a shrug. She would prefer a tower, however…
"I see…now that I am here, what do you wish of me?" Latia asked quite seriously, she has already accepted the fact that she will be serving this man until he dies of old age. Her Ancestor had a theory that the original Solomon could only have Ars Goetia as long as he was human.
With Ars Goetia, several key factors come into play. One, such a strong binding has to be very specific. In this case, it targets Lucifer's pillars. Second, it only works on pureblooded devils. And third, it should be a human who has Ars Goetia.
If this is the case then she should only be serving him for a hundred or so years. Quite a short timespan for a devil with a much longer lifespan.
'But then again, this man may have already discovered the means to prolong his life.' The blond beauty thought to herself.
"I was thinking of summoning Ajuka to help me with some stuff related to maths, mind magic and laws of the world. But as they say: no plans are foolproof.
Then again, you will be just as useful." Marcus closed his eyes for a moment before opening them again.
"Sera, come to my side."
Latia's eyes widened for a second as she saw Satan Leviathan getting summoned like it was nothing special!
"You called me~~~?" Sure enough, Serafall appeared in the room. The blonde devil beauty instantly noticed the weird behaviour of the Leviathan.
For one she looked like a woman madly in love. The young Astaroth knew from the stories of the original Solomon that at least half of the devils he enslaved fell in love with that pervert one way or another.
Nothing was to this extreme though … at least nothing her ancestor recorded about.
"I did…" Marcus stroked Serafall's hair as he motioned with eyes to look behind her.
The black-haired devil lady did so and noticed the blonde devil sitting on the opposite side.
"Latia? Master, you summoned Ajuka's niece?" The current Satan Leviathan asked with wide eyes. She remembered how she had this dreadful thought of Latia seducing Marcus!
[We tried to summon Ajuka Beelzebub. But, it would seem Master forgot to double-check the circle. As it only summons female devils.] Quinella said with an eye roll.
"That voice! N-N-No way! Aurora!?" Serafall nearly lost her balance and face-planted into the coffee table when she saw this ethereal looking beauty with extremely beautiful hair. It looks like it was made from glass or platinum as it reflects light into a different set of colours.
[Aurora is the system that runs things. I am Quinella. Or soon to be. Otherwise known as the Biological Assistant model: Quinella.]
When the older Sitri heard this she realised that her gut feeling was utterly right! Marcus is indeed making a woman from his Artificial Intelligence!
In other words, the greatest threat to her is not some girl from a smart family from the likes of Astaroth! But, a woman of his creation!
'Only utterly nuts geniuses would go the route of making life and women like this one!' Serafall thought to herself with cold sweat.
"I see… so, all that genetic research… you wanted to make a body for Aurora...now named Quinella." The black-haired devil lady said with a forced smile.
"Quinella Aurora would be her full name. Which sorta fit her perfectly because of her hair." Marcus said with a smile as he looked at his Assistant who was standing behind him.
Serafall could see her upper form because of just how close they were, no less than two metres…
"I see…I suppose we will be quite close allies then…"
[Sigh]
[We are not allies. You are my Master's Pillar. And I am My Master's Assistant. Don't misunderstand our purposes in life.]
The black-haired devil lady gulped down nervously. This woman was sending shivers down her spine! And she is a Satan. This is nuts!
Is it because she knows that this silver-haired woman holds some sort of control over all Marcus creations? Or is it the fanaticism this Artificial Intelligence has for their Master?
Or maybe both. Nonetheless, she doesn't want to end up on the wrong side of the fence with this nut case!
"Now that introductions are over. Sera you will be taking over the training of Latia."
Marcus' words confused both devils who looked back at him, instead of the very noticeable woman behind him.
"What do you mean?"
"You're going to be training her in diplomacy. Which means you take her to be part of your office. And at the same time, she will be a middle man with the contract that we have."
"You want her to be part of the contract?"
"Yeah. Because you are a person with a very high profile you will need someone who can do small scale missions in my name. Like for example buying land, opening a company."
"Oh, OH… I see what you have in mind… but it will be difficult… we are in a Church and Heaven controlled land…"
Marcus looked at her with deadpan eyes.
"No one will feel her demonic energy in my nation." The teen inventor said with an assured tone.
Latia didn't say anything, she just listened to what they were talking about. She started to understand the scale of things.
The original Solomon didn't fear the Original Satans or even Gods from other Pantheons. Because of his energy neutralising powers.
And from the looks of it… her new Master control over energies reached an even higher realm than the original Solomon…
What a terrifying thought…
"If that's the case then we can move without any worries," Serafall said with a nod.
The blonde Devil saw the side she will never though will see with the Leviathan. The black-haired devil looked like a subdued wife who follows whatever her husband will say.
Truly a terrifying power that the humans and the Biblical God has created.
"Then we need money…"
"Not an issue, we can inflate the currency for a moment. I have an idea for a company."
"Oh?"
"We are going to dominate the phone market and video games."
"Umm...is there a reason for that?" Serafall asked with some curiosity.
"Nope. I simply feel like going this specific route. I have very little interest in the mundane side of the world. So we can use the company as a cover to take over the county." He said with a shrug.
"I have no interest in government and such. Thus phones, easy, cheap, and have a lot of capacity. The games because of my holograms. Quinellla's existence and beauty is just proof that I can make incredible games."
Quinella behind him had a smug look. She twirled with her hair for a bit.
"Not that I am complaining about the phone which I assume will run on the Aurora system but games? No consoles can run such realistic graphics!" Serafall as a gamer knows her stuff. Not that she played a lot after being turned into a Pillar. Well, she didn't have much time playing in the first place…
"Streaming services," Marcus said with a shrug.
"What's that?" The black-haired beauty asked curiously as she once again got on his lap and sat properly and started snuggling while waiting for his answer.
Quinella frowned for a second, before returning to her genetic processing, using at the moment, more than 97% of all of her available capacity for this.
The rest are for running systems all over the network. 3% is more than enough to fully run it without any worries. This just shows how crazy her creator can be with his preparations.
The quicker she fully unlocks the genetic codes the quicker she can be the one who sits next to him with a proper body.
"Using the internet to stream things. Meaning that the video game you play is using the internet instead of the console's machine."
"You mean your system will be running the game which streams it to the people? Won't this be killing the Playstation and Xbox?" Serafall asked with a confused look.
"And most likely Nintendo as well. Well, it has a separate ecosystem so it might survive." He thought for a bit.
"B-But, you can't just end those like that! Can't you just release the games on discs?" Serafall asked with a pleading look. Quinella groaned behind Marcus seeing that.
So much for the oh great Leviathan! In the end, she ended up at her creator's mercy.
