That Time I Got Reincarnated By Veldanava

Henrik had placed a barrier around his throne room in anticipation from the summoning he was about to do. But first, he decided it was time to reward his closet companion.

'Raphael, would you like a name? It would greatly improve you capabilities and sentience. Plus, I need a manas to be able to control [Imaginary Collapse]. If it wasn't for this body that Veldanava made, I'd have been dead ages ago, but I need your help to control it from here on out.'

[If you need further help and believe evolving me into a manas would benefit you, I'll gladly accept that task. It would also allow you to work towards the ultimate skill Aztaroth, God Of Void]

'Oh yeah, that reminds me. I know why I haven't got the Velgrynd ultimate skill yet, but why haven't I got [Veldora, Lord of Storms]?'

[Answer: The Ultimate Skill Veldora, Lord of Storms requires you to evolve while having a soul corridor open with True Dragon Veldora]

'But I'm already at the pinnacle of the human evolutionary line.'

[Answer: Yes, as a Divine Human, you are at the pinnacle of the regular human evolutionary line. However, with the Ultimate skill Darwin, Lord of Evolution you are able to create a new evolution for yourself. Another option is obtaining and hatching a Hero Egg. This too would count as an evolution]

'I see. Okay then. When I've subjugated Diablo, I'll create a new evolution AND give myself Hero Egg. For now though, Raphael. I name you Myra.'

And just like that, the semi sentience of [Raphael, Lord of Wisdom] split from the actual skill and became the manas Myra. Henrik didn't want to name it Ciel as he isn't Rimuru, so why would he have the same manas?

[Evolution has been completed. Thank you Henrik," Myra said. Henrik could hear the last remnants of its robotic voice disappear as it fully finalised as its own being.

'Of course, this was long overdue anyway. Now, lets get to the summoning.'

Henrik then raised his hand. Since he knew to complete any type of summoning, you had to master spatial magic, he had Veldanava use a simple spatial attack on him before the party as he originally planned on summoning the black Primordial at the party. He had also crafted a body with [Veldanava, God of Creation] for Noire to use. Just like his other subordinates, he intended to use [Darwin, Lord of Evolution] to make Noire as strong as he was in volume 21.

He then released a surplus amount of magicules that would serve as the offering to Noire, knowing that if he doesn't offer enough, Noire might try to kill him. Last thing he wants is a Guy situation where he goes for the whole country.

"Come forth, Primordial Black. Noire," Henrik spoke in a whispered voice. It wasn't necessary but he thought it would look cool.

Suddenly, a dark spiral appeared in front of him. It was dark, unholy energy that twirled and a moment later, it went into the body Henrik had made. The contract that Henrik offered was simple, Noire becomes his loyal subordinate, and in return, Henrik will help him find knowledge.

While there was a chance Noire would break or even deny the contract offer and return to Hell, Henrik had a plan for that. Noire was one of the two beings responsible for his death, so he had no compassion when it came to a fair deal. As soon as Noire entered the body and was named Orivaketh. A demon who moulds loyalty as if it were free will.

Then, Henrik used [Darwin, Lord of Evolution] to being Diablo up to his volume 21 self. The only exception with Orivaketh compared to his other subordinates, is that Henrik used the skill [Forced Loyalty] to force his loyalty to be shy of complete domination.

To put it simply, the only essence of free will Orivaketh possess would be if Henrik wasn't around, he'd be able to act in the interest of The Great Lazek Kingdom. Furthermore, since the loyalty was part of the evolution and not some type of mental domination, even if Orivaketh was to die, he'd resurrect and the loyalty would remain. Not even Henrik could now free him from this.

"Are you sure that is wise Henrik? Veldanava may not approve of this," Myra said.

'I know Myra. But this isn't anyone. This is the person responsible for my death. My friends death. My friends life of paranoia and hatred. It's all him and that Feldway. This is a mercy compared to what my emotions are telling me to do to him.'

Once the evolution was complete, Orivaketh stood up in his new body and looked exactly Diablo did in the story, with the only difference being his eyes. Physically they looked the same, but looking into them, it felt like you were looking at a mindless drone that exists only to serve.

Orivaketh then bowed down to Henrik and prostrated himself to his master.

"Orivaketh. If I told you to die, what would you do?" Henrik asked coldly.

"Lord Henrik, if you wished for my death, I'd kill myself over and over again for all of time, full of self loathing that I could make you hate me," Orivaketh replied in a deadpan voice.

"Good. Now, I want you to travel around and recruit three people for me. Do not return until you have recruited them."

"Of course my lord, who are they?"

"They are three of your sisters. Primordial White, Blanc. Primordial Yellow, Jaune. And Primordial Purple, Violet. Tell them that if they serve me, I will grant them power beyond their wildest imaginations. If you have too, show them the power I have granted you as proof. Now go," Henrik commanded.

"Yes, Lord Henrik."

And just like that, Orivaketh disappeared. And Henrik started walking towards the door and removing the barrier.

"Four Daemon bloodlines are better than one, their quadruple the fun, ask anyone," He sang to himself on the way to his bedroom.

"Hey, you two," Henrik said to the guards outside his room.

"I'm going to undergo evolution. Don't let anyone in until I come out. If it's urgent, go to Shizu or Rigurd, I trust their judgment completely."

"Yes, Lord Henrik," The both replied and one of them even wished him luck with the evolution to which Henrik thanked.

After entering the bedroom, he lay on his bed and got to work on crafting the evolution.

'Okay, I'll call this one the Ultimus Human. I need to make it so only I can achieve this evolution, so, it'll be achieved when a Divine Human has a God level Ultimate Skill along with at least 3 other Ultimate Skills at Lord or King level. Also, they have to achieve an EP of at least 400,000,000. The person also has to achieve digital nature.

Now, intrinsic skills. Humans don't usually have intrinsic skills. But this one is special. The first intrinsic skill will be Ultimus Overdrive. It will allow any skill or magic to be performed at the level of an ultimate skill.

And the other will be Perfect Crit. It will ensure all attacks against monsters are critical.

 That's it for the evolution, now for the other details. I want to use [King Of The Heroes, Arthur] to gain 5 Hero Eggs. Furthermore, I want to use [Darwin, Lord of Evolution] to hatch the eggs.'

"Okay, evolution confirmed. Species Ultimus Human created. 5 Hero Eggs Gained. All Hero Eggs are hatching. Ultimate Skill [Veldora, Lord of Storms] successfully acquired."

And just like that, Henrik had drastically increased his power. Not only had created a brand new evolutionary branch. He had also used his power to break all rules and gained multiple eggs. Chloe would gain two, but that's because of Hinata's soul. Henrik was able to gain 5 with one elemental contract, he decided it'd be a Great Elemental of Time.

He didn't know it yet, but his EP just increased from 438,000,000 all the way up to 5,300,000,000, thanks in no small part to the Hero Eggs.
