"You've been creating elementals, how many have you created?" Ramiris was eager to hear about this topic in particular.
"Let me think." I put in a contemplative look, "I have about 83 million greater spirits and 141 billion medium spirits, as for the lesser's, they don't make a lot of impact. Why is everyone looking at me that way?"
Everyone looked at me as if I was insane, which is a topic that is up for debate, but right now I couldn't figure out what was going through their minds.
"83 mi-million." And then Ramiris feinted, which I caught her out of the air.
"You ok Ramiris!?"
"Simon! How the hell do you get that much spirits!?" Guy had shouted at me and scolded me for doing something to such an extreme magnitude.
"Jeez, it's not that big a deal! It's not like I'm vying for world domination!"
"It's a seriously big deal!" Guy was mad, he didn't know how many times he had done this in the past but he knew that there were a couple times he had to reprimand his student like this. How, simply because this all felt like déjà vu.

When Simon had momentarily lifted the veil of his power, Guy had also gotten a glimpse of what he was. It puzzled him, an Elemental king.
It had taken him quite a bit to analyse but here the gist of it. Simon was an existence similar to Ramiris, no it was more accurate to say he was her opposite.
Whereas demons are the shadows of angels, Simon is the shadow of Ramiris. The demonic alignment was opposing to the holy alignment while Simons chaos was opposing to Ramiris's neutrality.
"Simon, I suggest you keep that power of your under wraps."
"You think I don't know, thats what I've been doing the whole time."
"I'm not saying you must erase it, you can simply weaken it to a certain degree."
"Weaken it?" When my words fell, Guy could see something in my eyes, something akin to fascination, no, it was more a spark of inspiration.
"Thank you Guy. I now have the problem to an issue I've had for a while." I got up in his face to thank him with glee and then gave him a massive hug.
"I'm gonna return to my domain, I need to finish something big. Anyone have some final queries?"
Ramiris spoke up with an air of haughtiness, "I do. I've decided that I'm gonna live in your domain."
"No."
Ramiris looked like she was struck by an arrow, "Why not?"
I raised an eyebrow, "Because I don't want you there."
"I am one of the ten great demon lords though!"
"You are currently one of three demon lords in this room. That status doesn't make you special."
Suddenly Velzard chimed in, "Id like to come to your domain."
"Sure."
"HUH! Why her and not me! You're clearly biased against me!"
" If I let you into Eden, will you promise not to make a scene?"
Ramiris saw a glimmer of hope, " You know I could even show off my lovely servant to you if you want."
" You mean Gabriel?"
" Wait you know about him?"
" I'll forgive your ignorance considering the memory loss but… I was the one who made Gabriel. Can you recall any recollection of when he came into your life?"
" Yeah he… well he… I don't remember. What the hell, so even my greatest creation wasn't even my creation!"
" Jeez I already said you can come so stop making scene. We haven't evens arrived at Eden and you've already broken the rule I made you."
" Eden. What a nice name."
I snapped my fingers and the fog came out of my coat and wrapped around six of us in a vortex and then it disappeared.
————————————————
The warping process went smoothly, Velzard and Ramiris were mesmerized by the space revealed outside the fog and that amazement deepened when we arrived to my world.
" Velzard, Ramiris, welcome to Eden."
The outer edges of the world, and yes Eden is a flat world, had alot of ecosystems sustained for spirit cultivation with there being different environments for different elementals. The center was a city that had a semi-victorian semi-modernized feel to it and holds the spire that connects the world to the firmament above, my place of residence, the astral clocktower.
The astral clocktower was essentially the royal castle equivalent of the Winters family.
When they looked out into space, they saw stars, black holes, planets. What caught both their eyes were the planets shrouded in and connected by the gray fog.
I noticed their gaze and explained, " Those are worlds I've conquered. Technically the inhabitants aren't aware of the fog though so none of them know that I already hold them.
"Why did you conquer worlds?" Ramiris asked in horror.
"No reason, I guess one reason would be to give the elementals I've raised a bit of exploration experience. The elementals now purport their faith for me across worlds."
Velzard was impressed with my achievements but Ramiris was horrified, " You're just a psychopath."
" Ironically, that's not the first time you've said that about me."
————————————————
I left the true dragon and fairy queen to explore Eden for themselves. While I did some self-evaluation of myself.
While I had that contest with Guy back there. Nous was screaming a prediction in my ear, Guy had clearly found something about me that was interesting.
I began doing appraisal on myself and found the anomaly, 'WHEN THE HELL DID I EVOLVE?!'
My new evolution basically made me something akin to a actual god. I was something like Ramiris now.
But there was something specific that caught my interest. I had split off an individual that was lying within my soul, "Hello, can you hear me?"
"Hahaha! Of course I can! And here I thought you had forgotten me."
"Ha. I would never forget you. It's feels really good to hear your voice again Nox."
Yes, this was Nox, the original darkness spirit I had bonded with and then fused with upon my awakening. Now due to the state of what I now was, I didn't need Nox to keep my current state of existence and he could be set free.
Before that though, I had to create him a fitting body. So I immediately made a Hihi'irokane bone golem and forced him to inhabit it.
"Welcome home Nox."
[Commencing evolution into Chaotic spirit of space]
[All physical abilities have significantly improved]
[The individual can now freely convert their body between material and spiritual.]
[Next, all skills and resistances already acquired by the old form will be re-acquired… successful]
[New intrinsic skills: Darkness domination, Chaos haki… Acquisition successful]
[New resistances: Abnormal condition nullification, holy-demonic attack resistance, Natural effect nullification, Physical attack nullification, Spiritual nullification… Acquisition successful]
[Acquisition of the ultimate skill: Eris, lord of Strife… successful]
And there he was. Nox's appearance was exactly what I expected it to be, vaste lorde ichigo with the inverted colour palette, the hollow half of Tensa Zangetsu.
As for his ultimate skill Eris, well from analysis I can say that is essentially an upgraded fusion of Mammon and Belphergor that has been repurposed for destruction.
It had the basics of Greed that allowed it to steal skills and life but it could also steal and absorb energy as well as dismantle it to induce intense fission without restraint. This gives access to immense nuclear power that would make even Jaune blush.
It also combines Greeds ability to simulate desires to increase the effectiveness of Sloth and sends them into distrust and destructive madness, thus enforcing internal strife.
"Are you feeling ok now Nox?"
"Yes I am. It is good to see you again Simon."
