Oni and Wicked Oni… the former excelled in magic, the latter in close combat.

The next step beyond was the ‘Divine Oni,’ comparable to a True Demon Lord.

However, due to Damien’s presence as their lord, even Shion, Shuna, and others were capped at 990,000 magicules as Oni, unable to advance further.

In summary, Damien’s forces had achieved the feat of all members reaching at least B-rank!

“After tallying, following your awakening, the Monster Kingdom’s roster is as follows:”

“7,200 B to B+ rank ogre, 1,400 A to A+ rank kijin, and 250 Special A-rank Oni and Wicked Oni.”

“560 A to A+ rank Star Wolves, 30 Special A-rank Star Wolves.”

“25,000 A to A+ rank Tengu, 500 Special A-rank to Tengu.”

Additionally, there were 15 Demon Lords Seed with 990,000 magicules:

[Oni: Shuna, Shion, Benimaru, Souei, Akahiko, Hakurou]

[Kunitsu: Kaede, Momiji]

[Dryad: Doris, Trya]

[Star Wolves: Hoshiga]

[Familiars: Ogerpon, Snow Empress, Ice Empress, Artoria Pendragon, Justeaze von Einzbern]

This didn’t include Frey and Treyni, who had already evolved into True Demon Lords, or the four Primordial Daemons currently undergoing their evolution.

“Snow Empress, Ogerpon, Artoria.”

Damien called the three women forward and produced three portions of soul energy sufficient for their awakening. “Become Demon Lords.”

Damien had carefully considered his choice of these three.

Firstly, a True Demon Lord without an Ultimate Skill wasn’t necessarily stronger than a Demon Lord Seed.

For someone like Shuna or Shion, their mastery and understanding of their Unique Skills were still incomplete.

Rushing their evolution wouldn’t help them develop their Unique Skills into powerful Ultimate Skills.

As for veterans like Hakurou or Kaede, their Unique Skills were too few.

Attempting to reach Ultimate status now would likely lead to failure, as Damien could foresee.

“Boop!”

Without questioning, Ogerpon eagerly accepted the soul energy.

The little one happily found a large tree, plopped down without any protective measures, and began her True Demon Lord awakening.

“This…”

Snow Empress and Artoria exchanged wry smiles at the sight.

But they weren’t too particular either.

After quickly absorbing the soul energy, they each found a suitable spot and began their own slumber.

With Damien and their companions nearby, there was no need to worry about interruptions to their awakening.

“Oh, right, them too.”

With a wave of his hand, Damien released the four Primordial Daemons he had placed in a corner of the Void World.

Seven individuals awakening as Demon Lords simultaneously… a truly awe-inspiring sight that left veterans like Akahiko, Hakurou, and Kaede in shock.

“Keep watch over them. I’ll go arrange things for the newcomers.”

“Shuna, Shion, and Justeaze.”

“Each of you take a group of female Oni and Fallen Angels to help maintain order.”

Damien was about to name the Cursed Children, officially transforming them into majin of the cardinal world.

Yes, majin.

Due to the Gastrea virus genes in their bodies, the Cursed Children were classified as ‘Beastmen’ by the Voice of the World.

Take Yahiro as an example.

[Yahiro]

[Race: Beastgirl]

[Magicules: 6,000 EP (B-rank, enhanced by Demon Lord Blessing)]

[Intrinsic Skills: Regeneration (capable of rapid recovery even from a shattered heart), Beast Transformation (can transform into the animal corresponding to their gene)]

[Common Skills: Pokémon Magic (may inherit one or multiple elemental magics), Various Professions (assigned based on circumstances)]

[Unique Skill: Navigator]

“Beastgirl…”

This was a branch of the Beastmen that Violet had specially created for the girls.

The magicule count of Beastgirls averaged around 6,000.

The highest, like the eldest of the five sisters, reached an impressive 9,000 (B+ rank) and gained a Unique Skill called ‘Ravager.’

Of course, not every Beastgirl could awaken a Unique Skill.

Among the 500,000 girls, only 10 possessed Unique Skills, most of whom were Initiators from the original story.

Like Rabbitgirl Enju Aihara (Leaper), Owlgirl Tina (Nightstalker), Catgirl Midori Fuse (Swift), Dolphingirl Kohina Hiruko (Thinker), Spidergirl Yuzuki Katagiri (Binder), Raccoongirl Asaka Mibu (Slasher), Insectgirl Hotaru Koro (Regenerator), and Mantisgirl Kohina Hiruko (Slayer).

Together with Yahiro and Rita, they made exactly ten.

Damien dubbed them the Ten Beastgirls, with Tina as the leader and Kohina as the deputy leader.

Lastly, there was the only human Damien brought back from the Black Bullet world… Seitenshi.

[Seitenshi]

[Race: Saint (Unawakened)]

[Magicules: 260,000 EP (Special A-rank)]

[Unique Skills: Exalted, Protector, Savior]

[Special: Saint’s Egg (Unhatched)]

‘No wonder she remained a pure and kind maiden in the dark world of Black Bullet.’

Damien felt his judgment was spot-on, recognizing Seitenshi’s potential at a glance.

Her soul quality was exceptionally high.

Even the Voice of the World had bestowed her with three Unique Skills.

Though none of these skills were combat-oriented.

[Exalted: Upholds one’s convictions, immune to all mental corruption, and grows stronger with increasing recognition.]

[Protector: Can designate a protection target, either oneself or others; the more targets, the higher the magicule consumption.]

[Savior: Can restore damaged objects, heal others’ injuries, and even revive the dead at a certain cost.]

“A growth-type Exalted, a defensive Protector, and a healing Savior.”

Protecting and saving others would, in turn, reinforce Exalted, bringing benefits to Seitenshi.

Damien could only say that Seitenshi was a born Saint.

As long as she didn’t die prematurely, she would surely become an Awakened Saint, on par with an Awakened Demon Lord.

“Will you become my familiar, Seitenshi?”

After naming her, Damien extended the offer once more.

“I’m willing.”

Having followed him, Seitenshi naturally didn’t resist becoming his familiar.

She already knew Damien’s true identity.

A Demon Lord from another world.

A being with the power to create and destroy worlds, far surpassing the gods she had imagined.

But Seitenshi didn’t care about that.

As long as she could gain the power to protect her world and save her people, she would revere Damien as a god and offer him her unwavering loyalty!
