The light covered everywhere, Mammon made a mere fragment into a full Dao, and then merged with it. I could clearly see how he was getting amazing amounts of knowledge and power now. His eyes were flashing with bright yellow-gold light, as he immediately comprehended the amazing power of the Dao of Summoning.

"Wow! Great work! Now, how about you convert these ones into full Daos too? You're my sugar daddy now, aren't you? Come on~" I said.

"Eeeeh?! N-No! It is way too expensive! You can't afford it, even loans won't be possible with the amount of money it costs." Said Mammon.

"Geez, you're such a pushover, I guess I won't let you kiss me again." I said.

"Eh?! B-But…" muttered Mammon.

"Hehe… Then?" I asked.

"Nngh… N-No!" said Mammon, while crossing his arms.

"Argh, alright, now summon a few beasts." I said.

"Not now, I will save it for later. I want it to be a surprise. If I summon them all, the other Princes of Hell will notice it. Don't you get it? This Dao is my trump card, I will save it for a specific situation!" said Mammon.

"Ehhh… So boring, I wanted to see cool monsters." I said.

Everyone agreed with me.

"Yeah! You're a pushover guuu!" said Rimuru.

"I demand my money back." Said Brontes.

"I came here for nothing… I better just go eat." Said Oga.

"What a waste of time." Sighed Nesiphae.

"That was a bit boring." Said Kjata.

"Eh? Wait! I liked the attention though!" he cried.

"Eh, the girls are like that, you've gotta get used to them, they've seen so much they're not amused. And honestly, I got bored too, let's go eat something, I am starving." I said.

"Ah… I guess the important stuff is done, we can relax and delve into self-indulgence…" said Mammon.

We quickly moved to the tables where we began eating all sorts of stuff. My children began playing around with Mammon and he was constantly telling them he wasn't a kid.

"Hey, wanna play ball?" asked Vudia.

"I am not a kid!" cried Mammon.

"Hey, you're a future uncle? Let's play smash bros!" said Nirah.

"Smash Bros?!" asked Mammon.

"You're way too scrawny for being deserving of my mom's love, so I'll train you into a more muscular man, even Aura got more muscle." Said Ryo. He suddenly got overly defensive of me when men entered in my menu.

"W-Who are you calling scrawny, insolent stud!" said Mammon.

"Uncle Mammon, uncle Mammon!" said Ailine.

"W-What?" sighed Mammon.

"Here! For you!" said Ailine.

"Huh?" asked Mammon.

Ailine gave Mammon a cupcake she made with Rimuru.

"A cupcake made by my daughter, so eat it up." I said.

"A cupcake… S-Sure, thank you." Said Mammon while smiling.

"Ahh! Enjoy!" said Ailine.

Mammon bite the cupcake and he found it fluffy and sweet.

"Ooh, so fresh… its spongy too, and the filling is… blue-colored? It tastes like jam! Oh, it is just as good as your memories said, Kireina-chan." Said Mammon. He was sitting in my lap.

"Right? You got a bit of cream there…" I said, as I licked the cream near his cheek.

He grew red like a tomato quickly after, I knew it.

"D-Don't do that…!" he said.

"Fufu, what? Nervous?" I asked teasingly.

"Ugh… Anyways, we should assess what we'll do now. You beat the skellies… now what? You're going back to Genesis?" asked Mammon.

"Yes, I am going back- Well, not really, I am staying probably forever." I said.

"What? How?" he asked.

"Well, technically I never left Genesis, my body is divided in two, one is there and another is here…" I said.

"T-That's… possible, I guess… Wait, so you're never leaving my side~?" asked Mammon with a cute smile.

"Maybe. I might go into an adventure by myself." I said.

"I-I see… T-That changes things a bit, I thought we would make our relationship a long-distance one…" he sighed.

"Hm? You're already making up some hopes? Oho? So you want it?" I asked.

"A-Agh! D-Don't whisper to my ears…" he said.

"You're so cute I can't help it… All my little wives get treated the same, every day one of them sits on my lap, and I tease them… you're now in the row." I said.

"T-That's… I… Ugh… So embarrassing." He sighed.

"Fufu, you're finally having more feelings than just greed for once, Mammon?" I asked.

"Shut up…" he said while blushing.

"Anyways! For now I would like to indulge in eating and lazing around for a bit, in my other body I'll begin moving around a lot, I also gotta Rank Up to Rank 3… eating the skelly just gave me the necessary energy." I said.

"That was fast…"said Mammon.

"Hmm… What else? I guess I could give it a try to the Demonic Tower for a change of pace, and indulge into my popularity here as some sort of idol to the demons, sounds fun to do." I said.

"I-I guess you're really going for it, huh? Fine, anyways, make sure to check the Hell Shop, you could get stuff to help you." Said Mammon.

"Alright boss! So? How are you going to help me conquer Genesis? You offered me an alliance before with this offering!" I said.

"Oh, that's simple, you'll spread these things around Genesis, preferable Realms," said Mammon.

He gave me some strange sticks made of red wood with a lot of weird carvings on them.

"What are these things?!" I asked.

"These "things" are very special, they're called Demonic Totems, and if you place them in several areas of Genesis, the influence of demons grows and the flow of demonic energy intensifies. These totems ultimately grow into Demonic Towers of lesser quality and power than the ones in here, acting like dungeons that also connect to Hell, these are made by me so only my influence will spread while that of the other Princes of Hell will stagnate." Said Mammon.

"Oooh!" I said.

"If you plant a lot of them and Demonic Towers pop up, demons will come out and you can command them, I could even be able to manifest a greater part of myself too." Said Mammon.

"I see!" I said.
