Chapter 8 - Almighty
With the passage of time, I had finally reached the mature age of 16. This was the age that we demons would have fully matured and the state we would stay for centuries to millennia to come.
In this time, I had mastered both Space and Mind Magics to such an absurd state that no one who had come before or after would ever reach
Status Screen
Name: Alice
Title: Body of the Daughter of the Demon King, Reincarnated One, The Akashic Records
Race: Demon
Level: 90
Magic: Space Magic (10), Mind Magic (10)...
Skill: Reading (10), Etiquette (7), Appraisal (10), Spear Skill (10)...
These few years were able to change a lot of things. In this time, my magic has changed to an absurd level. Unlike the previous level of Advanced spells, those at the tenth level are different in that every person has to create their own spells.
You can't even learn the spells that others create in the same element. Due to minor differences in people's bodies, every spell made by a level ten mage is simply tailor made for them.
In this time, I have developed many world breaking spells that I would consider nonsensical and game breaking. The list of spells would go too long so I should really focus on three main directions that I went to study in.
Like my new mage title suggests, one of the paths that I went and became successful in was the so called Akashic Records.
If I record every possible point in existence and can predict every possible movement that each point can do at a specific time, would that be a type of absolute omniscience?
I started this path by creating a mental palace to store all of my knowledge and especially all of the books in the library. For all of these years, the Demon Kind had never appeared in front of me and after I became so strong I could persist off of the void I even stopped asking for meals as well.
So now I have been the only one in the library all this time so I stored all of the knowledge in my mind to keep perpetually. With my enhance mental strength, I could spend years in the mental place when merely a month took place in reality. Using this speed difference and the effect of another spell I mastered, I was able to quickly master every element in the library to the point that they were all at the level of ten.
Of course, since I focused on delving into Mind and Space magic, I have only barely entered the tenth level in other elements, but this achievement was already enough to make me a turning point in the history of this plane.
With my current near omnipotence, I even developed clone magic from which I derived artificial souls from. With them and the various spells I had, I was able to keep an eye on world events even without any information passed from my nominal father.
Well, the demon king has already revoked this relation between us ever since he confirmed that his real daughter had died and moved on years ago. Ever since, whenever I looked at him I saw that he was burying himself in work in order to curb the despair in his heart.
So my name from now on shall be Alice alone and in order to confirm this I even edited this body's genetic makeup so it all originated and came from me. though I kept the original blood sample of this body and maintained it with blood magic should I ever regret this decision.
Now that so many years have passed, I have finished most of my magic learning and reached unfathomable heights. The way to Limit Break is still unreachable for me now, so I simply paused my exploration for now.
Due to another spell in the Mind Magic category called Parallel minds, even if my main mind is relaxing and watching the world, I am still developing further in terms of Space and Mental magics.
Speaking of, I didn't finish my talk on my three most important spell directions, right?
Well the next one is what corresponds to my Space Magic which is my exclusive Mirror Magic. Using the reflective property of mirrors, I can amplify the effect of my spells through them, and even cast spells through any reflective surface. Because of this, I can be considered to have infinite range in terms of spells in a way.
Although this path seems to not be as agreed upon by the world judging from how I only have a title for my Akashic Records and none for my mirrors, I still have seen that both paths have shown equally powerful effects.
As for my last path forward, it is the one with the most uncertainty. Due to the Demon race's affinity with Dark Magic, I have reverse engineered the effects of the magic used by the Original Devil. It is known as Dark Star Magic and is quite powerful, but I know that is not the path that I want it to pursue.
Seeing the potential for growth that my mirror and akashic records have, I had the thought that simply tracing this ancestor's path is not enough. I am more talented than he was so I should follow my own path with it so I have some study in the development of Dark Magic.
It is just that I do not have that spark of inspiration so I have recently been spying on the Hero's journey with my mirrors.
An unfortunate consequence of this behavior is that due to his high instinct, he sometimes is able to tell that someone is there watching him and his danger sense gets triggered early. That has caused some of his ambushers from my 'father's' side to get prematurely exposed. Whoops!
Not that I or the hero really care. In this time, the hero has truly grown like the protagonist of a harem happy end story. Well, his story would end the moment he encountered me though. Last time I checked he was pretty dang strong to the point that I think he could compete with my dad when together with his party.
Now he has recently been dealing with a full scale invasion from one of the generals under the Demon King.
I think that guy was called... Volcanica?
Ever since I have been staying in the library, I made sure to always sense for when the generals arrive and sneakily take some blood from them through space magic. In then studied their blood which rapidly progressed my Blood magic capabilities. I did not care about it though as I mainly focused on the differences between their blood and normal blood. I was then even able to replicate their blood in a limited capacity.
They had Leviathan, Phoenix and Volcano dragon blood respectively.
Their blood didn't really satisfy me, but they were still enough that I used Puppet Magic to make puppets using their blood that were on par with or even stronger than their main body. Afterwards I simply tossed the pile of puppets into my now evolved Mirror dimension.
In that dimension of mine, I have kept a bunch of stuff that would cause a stir should they be revealed. From replicas of the weapons belonging to the Hero and Demon King that have weakened versions of their innate techniques built into them to things like massive robots I built in my free time.
The concept of controlling all the magic that belongs to this world and the addition of my clones and the Akashic Records has allowed me to become a true master of all crafts in practically an instant.
So I have a true Utopian space with all the resources and equipment and various creations that could create a hidden sect like those in the stories of the past that I read about.
I just found it all troublesome though.
So they have all been laid unused for an unknowable amount of time into the future. There are even quick guides that would allow a novice in magic to reach the level of a high mage after reading them that I have kept to myself.
All of this has lead to my life becoming more boring. My only pastime now is to watch how the hero continues to grow and eventually defeat this foolish father of a Demon King.
Watching the hero now, I noticed that he was at a certain city on the border between the Demon territory and Human territory. Is it time? I teleported my popcorn that I made by manipulating plant magic freely in my mirror dimension to snack on while watching the hero struggle.
It seems that this is the turning point in the war between Humans and Demons.
In that city, I could see people of various humanoid races working together to protect this city they call home while I watched the troops lead by the general Volcanica.
Watching both commanders various tactics was a feast for my eyes even though I could learn and easily surpass such levels of commanding a heartbeat once I use my Akashic Records, but such a life would be even more boring for me.
So I chose to restrain my main body in this way. Of course, my clones had no such problems and have reached inhuman levels of knowledge and rationality. Thankfully they are all still absolutely under my control with almost no will of their own.
looking at the scene, I was rather surprised that the humans sent the heroes party so early. Is humanity so weak or is this some strategy? In order to meet them Volcanica had to step down and face them head on.
Individually, the stats of Volcanica might surpass the hero, but in a party he was able to smooth out his problems and even fight back when facing him.
Then from the back, a sudden huge burst of magic appeared from the back of their formation.
Indeed, I nodded that the humans were absolutely holding back in order to prepare this big move to kill a large majority of the demon army.
In order to protect as much of the army as possible, Volcanica called for a retreat while bearing the magic bombardment himself while showing his true body.
Watching the large dragon transformation with my own eyes, I click my tongue.
"My puppet looks way better than this." I muttered to myself.
The Hero party was unable to keep Volcanica here and many of the troops of the Demon Army were kept, but it was still a resounding victory for humanity since they could defend their territories.
I closed my observation of the situation since what was next was likely just a banquet so I relaxed at home for a bit.
Then I decided I should do something with my time since the heroes would likely not move for aa few days. So I downloaded sewing into the akashic records and finally had a magic robe constructed for me.
With a base that reflected the stars in the sky and weird pink veins connected to the hood that was designed like a bookshelf, I watched das the robe was made. Then the next day when the base robe was created I started enchanting various magics and effects to the robe. Then the robe changed dramatically so the main body would project the starry sky to the surroundings around me.
Using the reflection of the stars, I could build a starry sky formation from. the effects of my robe to enhance my space based spells further while around my hood was a bunch of spirits inn the shape of books fluttering about while the unusual pink veins then pulsated with eyes opening sometime making the whole design both way creepier and somehow more harmonious.
With my robe done, of course I had to make my corresponding staff as well with a similar design of a starry sky base with unusual pink veins as well as a large slightly clunky staff head worn shelf like protrusions around the branch like top of the staff surrounding a large eye shaped gem.
"Creepy... I like it!"
I then completed various other ornaments and tools in the same style and nodded to myself.
