I returned to Novark with Benimaru and Souei.
"Don't worry everyone, I took care of Orc Lord!"
"""Hurray!"""
Everyone cheered Hurray. I guess it's something Shizu taught them.
Or maybe Ogres actually hurray'ed.
In a day that I was gone, construction has progressed well.
"From now on, I am the Chancellor of Great Jura Federation."
"""As expected of Apolloyon-sama!"""
Anyway, to run a country, we need several things.
Like money.
And for money, we need to get gold, silver and copper. We already have Iron and Steel, but we need to get those three things for creating currency. So we need to find mines for them.
Or, do we?
[Using Degenerate to get protons, neutrons and electrons from air... Success]
[Using Degenerate to create desired metals... Success]
[1,000 kg Gold acquired]
[1,000,000 kg Silver acquired]
[1,000,000,000 kg Copper acquired]
What can I say? Degenerate is a really OP Unique Skill in the right hands.
What more do we need?
An Adventurer Guild for employment of people.
Weapons...
[Using Degenerate to fuse Magisteel and Silver...]
[Mithril acquired]
[Using Degenerate to fuse Magisteel and Gold...]
[Orichalcum acquired]
[Exposing all available metals to Veldora's magicules... It is expected that the metals might evolve.]
Woohoo!
Now after the problem of weapons is done, the most pressing problem is personnel.
I don't have many smart people who I can assign to Dragonewton and Tempest.
Especially Tempest, since it's the closest to other human nations.
I guess I need to summon smart demons.
Like Noir.
"Shizu, give me your mask for a bit."
She nodded and handed me the mask.
I ate it to have Nexis analyse it and create a copy.
[Analysis Complete. Creating Replica... Done.]
I handed her mask back to her, and put one on myself.
"Noir, do you need me to summon you, or you can appear yourself?"
It is a risky thing to do. Noir is stronger than me right now, even though I have an Ultimate Skill.
But this way, Noir will be able to benefit from the Harvest Festival and become stronger if I summon and name him early on.
"Eh? You know him!?"
"From your memories Shizu. He seems quite the reliable guy."
And just as I said that, he appeared before us.
"Hello, Shizue-san. And Apolloyon-sama, you called me?"
He bowed like a demonic prince. Well, he IS something like that. One of the seven Primordial Daemons, like Demon Lord Guy.
"Yes. I want you to become the Governor of Tempest and keep an eye on the neighbouring countries. The Mayor is quite naive to handle that. And after I have trained more people to do that job, becoming my secretary.
In return, I can provide you two types of vessels.
First, around a hundred thousand Orcs.
Or Second, something I will create myself. At the very least, it will be made from Orichalcum.
Which option do you prefer?"
"Then I will choose the second option. I will be most delighted to have a body personally made by Apolloyon-sama."
"Alright. Wait a moment."
[Using Human Biology analysed previously, creating skeleton made of Orichalcum... Success.]
[Using slime cells for lubrication... Success.]
[Using Orc Disaster and slime cells for muscles... Success.]
[Exposing the vessel with Veldora's magicules... A mutation has occured.]
I see. Let's call it Dragochalcum vessel.
I took out the vessel for Noir from my stomach.
And he seemed very, I mean veeeeery pleased.
"Here, I made a vessel for you."
"Thank you Apolloyon-sama! I pledge my unending allegiance to you!"
"Sure."
Diablo possessed the vessel, and I could easily tell that this guy is dangerous if he turns against me.
"Ah! This body, I will make sure to treasure it."
But I doubt this guy would betray me.
And to further decrease the chances of that, I am going to name him.
But, I am sure that I can name him. I already have more than 10 times magicules than Rimuru, perhaps due to being named twice, absorbing everything from Veldora's cave, and constant sucking in magicules and producing them through sunlight.
Moreover, I now have a magicule battery inside me.
Veldora, thanks.
"From now on, you are Diablo."
In an instant, more than 90% of my magicules left me and entered him.
Damn...
I even began loosing my shape.
He even got a butler look.
"Thank you for this wonderful gift, Apolloyon-sama. I shall serve you with the name Diablo from now on."
"Good. And honestly, you looked cooler with your previous clothes."
As I said it, he changed back to his previous clothes. This skill is kinda cool, letting you get whatever you want to wear.
Ah. I haven't had my humanoid form yet huh? Let's work on that now.
"Well, welcome to Novark, Diablo."
