After letting them bask in the sunlight, which was just the sunlight of my Pocket Dimension, but it was the sun nonetheless, I pulled them back to Castlevania where Shalltear, Seras and Briar were waiting for us.
I had reverted back to my normal form when I returned, "Seras, Briar, Shalltear, these are our new subjects, they maybe weak in comparison to you but they are at or slightly below the Pleiades in strength, they are still stronger than most of the other races in this world so lead them well." I say to the three of them.
Shalltear has now become one of the main pillars of my kingdom while still keeping her loyalties to Nazarick, though this is of course more because she has feelings for me but that can wait for another time to deal with, especially with Seras and her being at each others throat about it.
"Douma, I have a mission for you in particular." I say before reaching into my chest as blood began to seep out.
When I reached deep enough into my heart I then pulled out a small piece of it that was barely bigger than a fingernail while my body rapidly healed the wound.
"You lead a Cult before right? Well now it's time you run another one, however it being in my name." I say as I approached him before stabbing him in the chest with my heart fragment, which held a small amount of my divinity that I had just given myself.
While he kept the smile on his face the veins all across his body bulged out before bursting through the skin and covering him in blood, but at the same time Douma let out a massive wave of power, something that made Kokushibo wary as he held his swords tightly while Akaza was clenching his fists tightly as a result.
"Oh~ This is wonderful master! I have never felt this powerful before, even now I feel like I could become upper rank one with this power." Douma began to boast about his sudden increase in power.
"Naturally you could, after all what I gave you was a piece of my divinity, as I need one to travel the world and spread the word of my will to the masses, thus you need a small part of my power to help me gain faith and begin to gain power at that." I told him what his goal was.
While I can give myself divinity, power of said divinity is run by faith and a god with no faith and no followers will soon fade into obscurity as a result so as of right now only the demons are considered my faithful as my blood makes them as strong as they are now instead of what Muzan was to them, I'm not just their master but also their god as well.
Those of the lower ranks have simple wishes, gaining the ability to stand under sunlight once more has gained considerable faith from most of them, however Upper 1 through 3 were different that is until I gave a piece of my divinity to Douma now only Kokushibo and Akaza don't have total blind faith in me.
So I turned to them both, "I can feel your faith in me is lacking, but that is understandable as while the ability to walk under the sun once more is nice, what you both seek is strength for yourselves and worthy opponents." I say to them both.
'Kintoki, can you come here for a moment? I have two demons who are eager to fight, oh but before that can you revert to your looks from when you were alive?' I say through my link with Kintoki.
'What? Why? I like this style though!' He protested to me.
'I want to show these demons the greatness of Sakata Kintoki, but I'd doubt they would believe you really are the legendary 'Golden Boy' dressed up like you are right now.' I say to him stroking his ego a bit.
'Heh, well if you say so boss, how can I say no?' He said as he agreed to what I said.
With a smile I snapped my fingers as a white door opened up before Kintoki in his orginal attire from back in the day appeared before everyone.
Seeing him instantly Kokushibo became cautious, while Akaza showed a thrilled look on his face.
"Let me introduce you to the legendary folk hero of your world, Sakata Kintoki, and more importantly one of the original Demon Slayers from before the time of your former master." I told them both and to which wasn't a lie.
Kintoki did hunt down Demons and Oni under the lead of Minamoto-no-Raikou as one of her four 'Heavenly Kings'
"Kintoki, you can go all out with the full intention to kill, these two want a challenge and you are the best suited for this job." I said to him as he grinned.
"Heh, no problem boss! I'll show these two what I am made of!" He said hoisting his massive cleaver sword over his shoulder.
Seeing this I snapped my fingers again and the three of them disappeared towards the plains beyond the Silent City where there battle soon began.
As for the results? Well let's just say the two put up a good fight but Kintoki is way to powerful for the both of them, in fact because of his trait of Anti-Evil and Anti-Oni he was basically the absolute worst enemy for them to fight.
And not just them but all demons are weak before him due to him being a demon hunter in his real life, however this allowed both Kokushibo and Akaza who saw themselves at the pinnacle of strength an even higher bar to look up to.
Not only them but the other Demon Moons wanted to get stronger so they challenged Seras, Briar and Shalltear.
'Know your place Worm' would best describe what happened to all the other ones that fought them with their power terrifying them as a result.
Soon enough the lines were drawn for this Blood Cult of Mine, Douma would be acting as my Missionary and Archbishop to the cult.
He along with a few of the Lower Moons would go across the human side of the world to spread the word of my religion to all who would listen, while also performing 'miracles' through my blood and gain me more followers in the process.
The others would head further into the continent and into the lands of the Beastmen and Demihumans and doing the opposite of Douma, either start worshiping me or your blood would be used as an offering to me.
As the god of blood the more blood flows in my name the greater my power becomes, and wars in my name will gain me power as well.
'I really am Becoming a Mini-Khorne aren't I? Speaking of which who would be a more perfect future target for me to attack than the most famous Blood God out there? But baby steps Orion, he's not one you could take down so easily.' I think to myself as my followers go and spread my religion across the continent.
'Master, me and Chloe have reached the required levels to begin the plan.' Olga told me through our connection to each other.
I grinned before closing my eyes and opening them before they turned Heterochromia white and black just like the king of the elves.
Then my skin became a beautiful porcelain white with perfectly smooth skin while my hair changed from black to pale blonde before dawning some elven clothes for myself.
"Well then, I guess it's time to destroy the Elven and make it anew with a new god leading it, and who better than the God, or should I say Goddess, of the Hunt." I say to myself before disappearing into the darkness once again.
Time to put my next plan into motion as well.
