Chapter 17-Replenishment of the retinue

I teleported to Miyuki's house and immediately saw her. She stood with her suitcase and was ready to leave.

"Have you taken everything you need?" I asked.

"Yes, I don't have many things left from my mother, so I just took a few memorabilia and clothes," she said calmly, looking forward to it.

"Then let's go to your new home," I said with a smile and took Miyuki's hand. A second later, we were in my mansion, where a full staff of maids was waiting for us. Silver was still monitoring Yumi's training, so instead of k nm, the head maid, Maria, came out, she was a rather old demon, but she looked to be in her twenties.

"Master, mistress, welcome," she said. I had already instructed her by sending a mental message before arriving, so she would treat Miyuki as kindly as possible.

"Do you like it, Miyuki?" I asked.

"Yes, Daniel, it's so beautiful, I've never been to a place like this before," she said with a small smile. It was unusual to see a smile on her perpetually indifferent face, so I smiled too.

"Come on, I'll give you a tour," I said.

After that, we walked around the mansion while I told Miyuki about her new family. I told her about my servants and my retinue, and also told her that she was the third member of my retinue at the moment. She also found out about my sister and who Serafall was. I also told her about Rias and her entourage. She was surprised to hear about Rias ' appearance and how similar they were, and Miyuki understood exactly what I was implying and took it into account. Apparently, she didn't really want to meet her father and his family. Fine.

"Well, Miyuki, now it's time for the most important thing. Now I will turn you into a demon and you can fully enter my family. Are you ready?" I said when we reached my office.

"Yes, I'm ready," Miyuki said firmly.

"Then let's get started!" I said, taking out the evil pieces.

After that, all the pawns immediately began to shine with an attractive light. She could only be turned by pawns, which was to be expected. I took one pawn and carefully placed it in the girl's chest, where a magic circle with the Gaap family crest appeared above it. Now I have even more members in my retinue, which is great. It also reminded me to recruit more servants for my retinue. I will definitely add Zenovia, Irina, Yumi, Koneko, Luisa, and Serafall. And I might also add Rias, Sona, and Akeno. Everyone who enters my harem will be part of my retinue, one way or another. After all, the evil figures are a very good lever and binding to me. Most demon servants don't betray them precisely because of evil figures. Few people will be able to resist the effects of evil figures. And not many people even know about them. Most likely, only those who have been forcibly converted and who have mind control or mind-calming techniques, such as Sister Koneko, can understand the binding.Kuroka.

But right now, there are too few members in my retinue. I have to add at least two or three more powerful creatures to it. And, of course, it must be either girls or just strong creatures like dragons.

But where to find such creatures now? This is a question that many young demons ask themselves, but it's obvious to me. I'll just have to resurrect a couple of ancient heroes or dragons. Everything will depend on whose remains will be easier to find.

But who should I start with? Although... I think I know. Even in a previous life, the fate of several girls from a couple of myths seemed unfair. Namely, Medusa Gorgon and Medea. I don't think it will be very easy with them, but it's worth it. Medusa Gorgon-a monster from Greek mythology, who was able to defeat many heroes, but eventually died at the hands of Perseus, although she took him with her. A very unpleasant demise.

Medea was a princess of Colchis, before Aphrodite forced her to fall in love with Jason, which forced her to help him in all his endeavors. Because of this, Medea betrayed her country, killed her brother, and became known as a witch. But all this ended up with Jason rejecting her love and marrying наsomeone else. Medea, obsessed with revenge, went to the wedding of Jason and killed all the people there, after which she came to Olympus, where she almost managed to kill Aphrodite, but due to the intervention of Zeus, she was killed.

I didn't know exactly where their remains were, but I suspected they were somewhere on Olympus. That's why I went there. With my strength, I might even be able to kill all the Olympian gods, even though it would be a bit difficult. Although very few people believe in them now, that's why I would have been able to destroy them.

Getting to Olympus was easier than I thought. I could safely stay in the everlost, thanks to the bloodline of the Gaap family, and from there it was not difficult for me to get into any subspace, including Olympus.

There, I decided to rely on the sacred mechanism that I had received a long time ago. The eye of insight could see through any illusion, and there were plenty of hidden places on Olympus.

I've been scouring the Greek gods ' hideout for hours, and I've already seen them all. But I never found a place where anyone's remains could be located. I thought I'd made a mistake until I noticed something strange.

From one strange tunnel, which was covered with a huge number of illusion spells, there was a small plume of death magic that clearly indicated that there was some kind of crypt there.

I carefully made my way to where I found many rooms with various inscriptions on the openings. When I got to the very first one, I read the inscription: "Hercules". That is, they were still places for storing the dead. Amazing.

I began to wander through the catacombs, searching for the words I needed. And just when I got to the end, I found them. The дверях, стоявших напротив друг друга былиwords "Medea" and "Medusa Gorgon"were written in blood on two doors facing each other. Medea's door also had many bloody witch inscriptions on it, and Medusa's door was scratched.

First I decided to see the remains of Medusa, where I saw a huge stone coffin. When I opened the coffin, I saw the body of a woman, which looked as if the girl had died just a few days ago, and had not lain there for several centuries. The head was separated from the body, and the eyes were covered with a blindfold. I calmly took the stone coffin and went to the next room. It would be more convenient for me to resurrect both of them at once.

Medea was also lying in a stone coffin, but her body didn't look so fresh anymore. In the coffin itself, there was only a white skeleton, undamaged by the years.

I placed the two coffins next to each other and materialized the Grail. The resurrection was quite difficult, and although I had already resurrected people, they hadn't died that long ago and weren't as strong.

I directed the Grail's energy to the corpses and gave it the command to resurrect the girls, after which a quarter of my mana reserve was absorbed by the artifact, and the resurrection began. The head and body of the Jellyfish quickly fused together and it began to come to life. Medea's skeleton began to slowly grow overgrown with meat and quickly assumed the appearance of a young woman.

As they were resurrected, I hurriedly conjured clothes on their bodies to avoid embarrassment. A minute later, a soft light filled the room, marking the end of the resurrection.

- Welcome to the world of the living ladies! I said when the resurrection was over.

- what? Am I alive? Where am I? Medea asked, looking down at her body. She clearly rememberedthat Zeus ' lightning had hit her and killed her. She just shouldn't have died.

Medusa just молчаstood there in silence, but despite the blindfold, I could feel her eyes on me

- Well, you were dead just a few minutes ago, so no wonder you're surprised, " I said calmly, examining the Grail in my hand.

"You ... resurrected us. I recognize the thing in your hand. It's the Holy Grail, one of the mechanisms made by the biblical god, " Medusa said softly.

"Really?" Did you really resurrect us? But for what purpose? Medea asked cautiously, still surprised. Surprisingly, I found her less ... emotional.

"My name is Daniel Gaap Darkness, and it's actually quite simple, I'm a Gaap demon, and I'm currently gathering an entourage. I raised you up to invite you to become my servants and make you demons, " I said.

"Make us demons?" What do you mean? Medusa asked, and Medea just looked at me, waiting for an answer.

"Several hundred years ago, hell developed a unique artifact called' Figures of Evil ' that can turn any creature into a demon if you're strong enough," I said.

"But why did you choose us?" Since you have the Holy Grail, you could have resurrected any hero much stronger than us, " Medea said a rather sensible thing.

- Well, there are several reasons for this. First, I only add girls to my retinue. No perverse motives, I just enjoy being in the company of women. And secondly, I thought you were more worthy of a new life, " I said.

"More worthy?" Medusa asked me, tilting her head slightly to one side.

"Your stories made me very emotional, and I decided that I would give you a second chance at life, because the gods took the first one away from you," I said.

"That's... an unusual reason. But how did you learn our stories? Medusa asked again.

"From ancient myth and legend," I said simply.

"The ancients? Medea spoke up.

"Yes, it's been about two and a half thousand years since your deaths, so they иreally count as ancient to me," I said.

"How much?" Medea exclaimed in surprise.

"Two and a half thousand years," I said again.

- It's amazing, so there really are legends about us? Medea asked.

"Yes," I said, giving him a quick rundown of what I knew about them.

"These legends are surprisingly true," Medusa said after my short story.

"But what will you do if we refuse you?" Medusa asked.

"I'll let you go quietly, erasing the memory of our meeting. But don't rush to refuse, I can help you get your revenge. Zeus, Poseidon, Athena and Aphrodite are much weaker than me and I can easily kill them. If you join my retinue, you will be part of my family, and I always help my family, " I said.

"I agree to join your retinue," Medea said.

"Really?" Then should I help you kill Zeus and Aphrodite? I asked.

"I wish them dead, but I joined your retinue not because of that, but because I liked you. I think you're a good person, " Medea said, smiling. Her character is completely different from what I expected.

"I agree, too. I have nowhere to go, it's been too long since I died. I also want you to end the lives of Athena and Poseidon. And you can also kill Hera? Medusa said after a moment's thought.

"Actually, I was going to do away with all the Olympian gods. If I kill one of them, the others will know about it right away, so I'll have to deal with all of them at once, " I said.

"That makes perfect sense," Medusa said.

"Okay, since you agree, then let's start the ritual," I said, taking out the evil figures from my spatial pocket.

I was the first to approach Medea, and the figure of an Elephant immediately lit up next to her, which I instantly plunged into her chest. A magic circle with the coat of arms of the Gaap family appeared over Medea and the ritual ended.

"I feel a surge of strength. And a new energy. So this is how demonic energy feels. She's pretty strong, " Medea said.

Then I went to the Jellyfish, next to which the figure of a horse lit up, which I also immersed in it and performed a ritual.

"I think I've gotten faster." And I can also sense demonic energy, " Medusa said.

- The Elephant figure that you receivedMedea increases magic power and enhances spells, and Medusa's horse figure increases reaction time, speed, and overall agility, " I said.

"Well, since we're done with this, let's start the extermination," I said with a bloodthirsty smile.

I will kill all the Olympian gods that are here, and not only avenge my new servants, but also become stronger. It seems that a few gods will have to sacrifice their lives to strengthen me.

Medusa and Medea felt a sense of anticipation, and they looked at me. I motioned for them to follow me and headed for the exit. There were several small divine spirits guarding the exit, which I instantly killed by absorbing their souls.

This was immediately felt by everyone here, and before anyone could escape, I spent half of my demonic magic reserve to strengthen the space. Now, no one will be able to leave this dimension anytime soon. Fine, it's time to start the massacre.

I calmly walked towards the main square, where all the gods usually met, and where Zeus ' residence was located.

"How dare you come here to the abode of the gods?" Pathetic demon... " some big guy who came out to me started talking. I didn't waste any time talking pointlessly and just burned it with fire, which I enhanced with the Boost I got from Ddraig. The Grail quickly preserved this god's soul so that I could absorb it in the future.

Then I went to the place where I felt the strongest aura, but already on the way I was struck by lightning from the sky, and a very fast silhouette darted towards me.

I repelled the sword attack of a rather majestic-looking old man. So that's what it means, the lord of the Greek gods, Zeus.

With him, I didn't hold back and immediately hit him with my fist, which enveloped him in dark fire. Before that, I will, of course, strengthen my attack. Zeus was immediately sent flying by my impact and crashed into the front of the building.

I didn't wait for him to recover and jumped in after him. But they were waiting for me there. My chest was grazed by a very fast sword covered in lightning, but the cut immediately recovered, becoming covered in flames.

Zeus didn't stop there, but continued to cover me with cuts that were instantly repaired. I didn't have time to prepare a stronger spell to put him to rest right away. I only had to hit him with physical attacks, touched by fire and Power-up. It was hurting him, but at this rate, our battle will last too long and someone will be able to escape. I couldn't let that happen.

After a few moments, I decided not to be petty and take my strongest form. Instantly, I transformed into a dragon and bit off Zeus ' arm with my reinforced jaws. My clawed hand tore open his chest, and before he could recover, I quickly bit off his head, immediately devouring his soul.

"You old prick, I think I underestimated the Greek gods a little, it seems that not all of them have lost their power," I said, growing out the arm that Zeus had cut off before he died. And not just for me, but for my dragon body,which is much larger than usual, and even stronger than it is.

After that, I immediately returned to my human form and began trapping the gods, killing them and saving their souls in the Grail. Zeus ' soul will need to be digested for a few more hours, so I'll just keep the souls in the Grail for now.

All the other gods were much weaker, and only Zeus, Hecate, and Artemis were able to do any damage to me, which was unexpected. But I was able to kill them all before I finished cleaning up Olympus. I only had to finish off the servants of the gods, which took longer, and I had to strengthen the barrier again. Now, of the Greek gods, only Zeus, who is now in Hell, remains alive.

So I finished my slaughter and decided to see which gods ' souls I had captured. The Grail contained the souls of Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Hestia, Apollo, Ares, Artemis, Athena, Aphrodite, Hermes, Hephaestus, Dionysus, Amphitrite, Aura, Boreas, Zephyr, Nephele, Note, Evra, Aeolus, Hecate, Nika, Hymenaeus, Iris, Phobos, Deimos, Asclepius, Morpheus, and Hebe.

Twenty-nine gods, and if you count Zeus, thirty. It was a lot and guaranteed me a good boost. I'm already anticipating the power I'll get from them.

"All right, girls, let's go home," I said, offering my hands to Medea and Medusa.

"All right," they said, taking my hands. Their mood right now could be described as very good. Their strongest enemies were destroyed, and they themselves were resurrected. And all this was done thanks to one person, or rather a demon, named Daniel Gaap, who is now their new masterand, for some, the meaning of life.

"Okay, welcome to the new house," I said, teleporting us to the mansion.

"It's pretty late now and everyone else is probably asleep, so I'll introduce you to them tomorrow, and now I'll show you your rooms," I said, giving them the rooms next to mine.

"It's called the Internet, and here you can find information about the modern world," I said, leading the girls to Medea's room and showing them the computer. I told them about its use and briefly explained the basics before going to bed. Medea stayed in her room, exploring the vastness of the Internet, and Medusa went to her room, which also had a computer.

While I was already in my room, I decided to wait for the end of Zeus ' soul digestion, which was only a few minutes away.

And when it was over, I felt an incredible closeness to lightning, as well as the appearance of new energy in my soul, and immediately decided to open the status:

I have a new energy, the energy of faith, that is, the energy that so strongly strengthens all the pagan gods. And also the divine aspect. So he's the one who provides my lightning control. I wonder how many aspects I'll have when I absorb all the other gods…
