The World: creating the peace

--- It's been 2 hours---

"The calm madman gradually descended the stairs. Bella, in turn, woke up."

Bella: Oh. * And who is it?* And who are you?

Bella's maid: Good morning. Now I will call your companion and he will explain everything. In the meantime, you can get dressed.

"Bella's maid came out of the room and knocked on the door of Dragr's room."

Dragr: Come in.

"Bella's maid came into the room. She was a little shocked. And all because of what I saw. Dragr's maid was sitting on the bed, and Dragr, in turn, was looking at the patterns on the bed, namely, trying to find some new one. Bella's maid bowed."

Bella's maid: The master of this maid, please proceed to my mistress's room, as she has woken up.

Dragr: Good. And you, be in this room.

"The maid Dragra nodded humbly. After that, Dragr went up to Bella's maid and left the room with her. As soon as they entered Bella's room, she was already sitting dressed."

Dragr: Good morning, Sonya.

Bella: Eh? Why am I Sonya?

Dragr: That's not a polite sonya yet.

Bella: Uh! Sorry, good morning. So why am I a dormouse?

Dragr: Can't you guess?

Bella: Not really.

Dragr: You were asleep when the Calm Madman brought you in. You slept last night. And after arriving, less than half a day has passed and you are sleeping again.

Bella: That's it. Enough! I got it.. Can I ask you a question, who is this?

"Bella pointed with her palm at her maid and her face showed genuine misunderstanding."

Dragr: This is your personal maid. They don't have a name, and they will do what you ask or answer what you ask.

Bella: I get it.

Bella: Maid, please bring me some food.

Bella's maid: The food is already in this room. Now, I'll warm it up.

"Dragr has left the room and is returning to his own. Bella's maid took the cloche in her hands and created a flame on her hands. This allowed the food to be warmed up."

Bella: Amazing magic. This is the first time I've seen this. What kind of magic is this?

Bella's maid: This is ordinary flame magic.

Bella: Yeah... Then why is it not like mine? May the fire created in the abyss of the infernal hearth show us mercy and appear to us.

"Bella cast a spell, after which a ball of flame appeared in her hand. The flame did not seem to be in Bella's hand, but burned, creating a tip."

Bella's maid: Maybe because we elves don't use regular mana, but modified mana.

Bella extinguished the flame ball in her hand. She had a blank face, as she really didn't understand the explanation."

Bella's maid: As I understand it, you didn't understand.

Bella: That's right...

Bella's maid: We, just like you, use mana as a catalyst between our vessel and the spell. To create, for example, a flame, we use mana from our vessel. By transferring mana from the vessel to the place of creation of the spell, with the help of, for you, these are words, and for us, these are thoughts, connecting perception, we get a flame. But in this interval between transferring mana to the place where the spell was created, we recycle mana. Depending on what is desired, we add particles of different materials to it, or condense the mana or make it freer, roughly expand it. Depending on what is desired and many experiments, we get a different result.

Bella: Well, I kind of got the idea. But the process itself is difficult to understand, because I can't even imagine how you do it.

Bella's maid: Not all elves can do that. I studied at our school of magic. While I was living in the elf kingdom, I was able to learn this flame spell and the water spell.

"Bella's maid created the flame again and her hands were in it."

Bella: Does it hurt you?

Bella's maid: Honestly, I haven't fully learned the spell. Therefore, the flame wraps my hands, thereby burning them. If you learn it completely, then there will be a layer of air between the flame and the hands. It won't burn you that way.

Bella: And the water spell, what does it do?

Bella's maid: Covers my hands, like the flame, with water. But if I touch something and take my hand away, then water will flow in the place where I touched something.

Bella: As I understand it, this is all until the mana runs out, right?

Maid Bella: That's right. Are there any other questions?

Bella: No.

Bella's maid: In that case, I'll be waiting.

"Bella's maid knelt by the curtains, waiting for a new request. Bella began to eat."

--- At this time---

"The calm madman is almost down."

Calm madman: * I can already see the light, so I've almost finished my journey.*

???: So! That's it, get in line. He should be arriving soon!

"A calm madman came down the stairs and saw large formations, to the right and left, of demons who were bending down and waiting."

Calm madman: Greetings to all. And where is Atholia?

"All the demons were silent. A black devil crawled up to the Calm Madman."

The black devil: Our Lord Almighty, asking you for mercy. Our lady is still getting dressed. I'm sorry for such a rude request. Could you please wait?

Calm madman: Of course, thank you for such a formal and sublime reception, but it's not worth it. Okay, I'll wait, but where?

Afolia: Don't wait for anyone, I've come.

Calm madman: Oh! Good afternoon, Atholia. I see you've dressed up.

Afolia: That's right, how do you like it?

Calm madman: I can only say that it has become more elegant. I just don't have a sense of beauty. I can only distinguish between a feeling of fear and horror.

Afolia: Ugh, you're boring...

Calm madman: On the contrary, I think I am very cheerful in my field of activity.

Afolia: Well, let's say. Please come into the reception room.

Calm madman: I think I'll agree. Can I give an order to all the demons present?

Afolia: As you wish, but within reason.

Calm madman: Well, then, tell us about the class division of the forces of demons.

Atholia: There is a squad of supreme demons in Hell - class S, higher demons - class A, blood demons - class B, demons of power - class C, demons of earth - class D, lower demons - class E. Well, I'm an SS class daemon.

Calm Madman: Okay, how many S and A class demons do you have?

Afolia: We have 3 Class S demons, 124 Class A demons.

Calm Madman: Then, the weakest class S demon and the 4th class A demon will go with us, but not the strongest.

Afolia: Ok, Kobsh, Fab, Rostolia, Kradr, Shobf. All those whom I have named come out here, if some are not there, then let them arrive in the reception room within 10 minutes.

"4 demons are out of action."

Afolia: Everyone, everyone is free, the rest follow me.

"The calm madman and the demons went after Atholia. The demons from under the guidance of the remaining demon went to report the information. One of the demons went to the kitchen where he found the last demon."

???: Great Kobsh, the lady told you to arrive at the reception room within 10 minutes.

Cobsh: Yeah.

"Kobsh was confused and couldn't respond properly because of the meal and just nodded."

Kobsh: So, Rizl, the leftovers are on you, do what you want with them, and I'm off. Tell the cook that I'll bring the payment in a little later.

Rizl: I'm listening.

"Kobsh left the kitchen, entered the hall, walked to the end and left. As soon as he left the hall, he walked briskly into the reception room."

---Reception room---

Calm madman: Once again, and for the last time, I repeat that I will tell you only in the presence of everyone.

Afolia: Well, tell me, please.

"All the demons present in the room felt a sense of shame for their mistress."

???: Gentlemen Afolia, please calm down and wait for the arrival of Kobsh.

Afolia: You are all buks.

"There was a knock on the room."

Afolia: Come in.

???: The venerable Kobsh has arrived.

Calm madman: So you couldn't stand it for 5 minutes?

Afolia: That's it, leave me alone.

Cobsh: I'm sorry, for waiting so long, you can come in.

Calm madman: Yes.

Cobsh: Excuse me, but who are you?

Calm madman: Sit down and I'll tell you.

"Kobsh sat down opposite the Calm Madman."

Calm madman: And so. Afolia, what are you interested in?

Afolia: So, well, perhaps you should introduce yourself to everyone present and confirm the words.

The calm madman: I am the son of the progenitor. From birth, all sons are not given a name, but a nickname is given, depending on their internal problems, personality, behavior, strength. My nickname is the Calm Madman. Why do you think that is?

"A calm madman created a portal near Kobsh in a chair and in his hand. He stuck his head through the portal on his arm and found himself almost in front of Kobsh's face. The Calm madman's face was ordinary, but the smile was, just like in the bar, very big and wide. There was blood coming from the corners of his smile."

Kobsha: WOW!

"Kobsh was speechless, he couldn't say anything more."

Afolia: Can I?! May I?!

Calm madman: No, you can't. Come on, one of the demons.

"The calm madman turned to the demoness."

Calm madman: Come on, you.

???: Me?

Afolia: Yes, Rostolia, he wants you to try to answer.

Rostolia: Well... Maybe because you're always calm, but you're actually crazy?

Calm madman: Almost, the thought was almost right, but alas, this is the wrong answer.

"The calm madman turned his head to the left and looked at the demon, who stood with a stern and unshakable face."

???: Good. I can assume that you are calm, right?

Calm madman: Atholia, can you explain to him what is the reason for my non-response?

Afolia: I can only guess, but it seems to me that questions should not be asked. You need to draw your own conclusion, Kradr.

Kradr: Then you are calm by nature, but you cannot restrain your madness.

Calm madman: Also almost but wrong. If you want, I can give you a hint.

Kradr: No, don't.

Calm madman: OK, next one then. As I understood it, there were Rostolia, Kradr. I'm near Kobsh, but he's not able to answer yet, so there's still Fab and Shobf.

Afolia: That's right.

Calm madman: Shut up, please. The next one will be... Shobf, yes, Shobf, you will answer.

Shobf: Good. Judging by the answers, they are partially right. The words about the fact that you are calm have not changed, so it is only wrong about madness. For now, that's it. I can't add anything else.

Calm madman: Okay, we'll count this as an answer, but you can't complete it anymore. Then there was Fab.

Fab: Eh? And Kobsh, he didn't answer, why did I immediately?

Afolia: Come on! Obey his orders.

Fab: I'm listening. You are calm, but something prevents you from always being calm and you can become insane.

Calm madman: The answer is almost right. Then, Kobsh, can you answer?

Kobsh: It seems so, it was released from the shock.

Calm madman: Then try it.

Kobsh: Well, based on previous thoughts, I can say that your madness is influenced either by force or by internal problems. Are you mad because of the power?

Calm madman: The answer is accepted, it cannot be supplemented. Yes, because of the force, but not completely. In this case, the right to answer passes to the Monopoly.

Afolia: I don't even know. Maybe because of physical exertion, your body is overloaded and madness accumulates.

Calm madman: The answer is close to the truth, but no.

"Everyone in the room was at a loss to understand how it all failed to respond. The calm madman pulled his head out of the portal and closed it."

Calm madman: Then listen up. Creating portals puts a strain on my morale. Thus, the more I create portals, the greater the chance of falling into madness. During the madness, I don't remember anything, I don't think, I just kill everything and everything. Also, the more I stay in madness, the less chance there will be later.

Rostolia: Is there no way to get rid of this or reduce the load?

Calm madman: No, there is no way, it's like a curse. It remains until the end of my life, and I am immortal, like my brother from your universe. You can reduce the load by meditation or use fewer portals so that the chance gradually decreases.

Kradr: What? Are you immortal? And what does 'brother from your universe' mean, are you not from here?

Calm madman: Yes, I am immortal from birth. My brothers are in each of the universes. There are 7 universes in total, which means 6 brothers. I am the oldest, and the brother from this universe is the youngest. I came to my brother, because if you don't help him and keep an eye on him, then all life on Earth will die in a few minutes, and the universe, I think, in about 2 hours.

Kobsh: Can all brothers move between universes?

Kradr: And what is your brother's name and why can he destroy living organisms on Earth?

Calm madman: No, only I can move. Because, only, I have the ability to teleport. Well, of course, I don't know anything about the others. My brother, the Faceless One, possesses, like me, divine mana. It seems to be nothing, but his vessel is very huge. It seems to be nothing either, right? But! But! It's not scary, the scariest thing is his regeneration and not the ability to control mana. I think even if he knew how to control it to suppress the spread, it would not be enough for a long time. His regeneration of divine mana is simply amazing. For example, imagine a glass, an empty glass, and wine is gradually poured into it, but with a Faceless one everything is a little different. Wine is poured into this empty glass at such a speed that it can be filled in a few milliseconds.

Rostolia: What? And where is he now? Are we in any danger?

Afolia: And how big is the vessel?

A calm madman: He is Faceless and therefore there is no limit. His regeneration is endless, and the vessel is bottomless. In fact, the wine that filled the glass continues to pour and pours out of the glass at the same speed as the glass is filled. At the moment, he is indoors, so mana does not come out and nothing threatens us. It is precisely for this problem that I have arrived. Do you have friends who possess an artifact to absorb such a volume of divine mana or seal it.

Rostolia: I think not.

Fab: Missing.

Kobsh: Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

Kradr: I think not.

Shobf: Have you been to the Dwarf kingdom?

The calm madman: Yes, he was. There is no such thing.

Shobf: I suggest we go to the demonic dwarf.

Calm Madman: How is it demonic?

Shobf: There's only one like that. He was born from a cross between a demoness and a dwarf.

Calm madman: But they can't reproduce. Still, there are different class types.

Shobf: It was created experimentally. Now he is in the forge and does not want to talk to anyone, for 20 years now.

Calm madman: Then let's go.

Shobf: Now?

Calm madman: Yes, now, why? I have only one question left for everyone.

Shobf: Okay, then we'll solve the remaining issue and go.

Calm madman: Then, Atholia, I ask you to submit all the demons present to my brother.

Afolia: Did you not think that we would suffer losses in force?

Calm madman: They will come to us in a little more than 9 years - this is the first. Secondly, in return, we will provide you with support in case of danger. Third, by this time, demons stronger than them may appear.

Afolia: Well, I don't even know. The conditions seem to be good. Do you guys all agree?

Shobf: I agree.

Fab: I agree.

Rostolia: Well, I don't mind.

Kobsh: Yes, I agree.

Kradr: So you all agree, but you don't even know what the Faceless One looks like or what his behavior or adequacy is? I agree, but haven't you thought about it?

Kobsh: I didn't even think about it, I just agreed.

Shobf: I think everyone understands all the rizki anyway, all the pros and cons. But they agreed.

Afolia: Then, Calm madman, I ask you to take care of my subordinates in the future.

Calm madman: Okay, then let's sign it.

"The calm madman took out a paper from the portal in his hand, unfolded it and put it on the table."

Calm madman: This is a contract. Sign here and all the demons present should sign here.

"Afolia signed in the upper right corner of the contract, where her Name and Rank in the world were indicated."

Afolia: I signed it, now you.

Calm madman: Wait, can I find out who is Class S?

Afolia: This is a Kradr.

Calm madman: Ah, then everything is fine. It's just that I wrote in the contract that the Steal is an S class.

Afolia: And how did you know?

Calm Madman: Is the little secret of my portal in my right hand?

"The calm madman smiled a little and pointed with his finger at the place of the signature in the lower right corner, after all the text. The demon's name and rank in Hell were written there."

Rostolia: Come on, am I the first?

Shobf: No one objects.

"Rostolia was the first to sign the agreement. Everyone was surprised."

All the demons except Rostolia: * And I thought it was a trap and she was going to be killed.*

"After that, they signed everything one after the other. For Rostolia - Fab, for Fab - Shobf, for Shobf - Kradr, and for Kradr - Kobsh.

Calm madman: All right, well done. Now, Shobf, are we going to the demonic dwarf?

"While the Calm Madman was saying this, he rolled up the contract and shoved it back into the portal on his right palm."

Shobf: That's right, come on, I'll take you.

"The Shobf and the Calm Madman got up from their chairs. Shobf left the room, followed by the Calm Madman. As soon as he left, he turned to the right, walked around the reception room and pulled back the curtain. The calm madman followed him. Pushing aside the curtain, which was made of burgundy fabric so that it merged with the surroundings, he continued walking, but in a dark straight line, the further the straight line, the darker it is."

Calm madman: And how long do we have to go?

Shobf: I don't know for sure, but it's not as long as the stairs.

Calm madman: Okay, I get you.

"The calm madman also followed the Sheriff. Shobf, on the other hand, walked without paying attention to his surroundings."

Calm madman: * Everything is pretty well arranged here. Someone's corpses, skeletons. There are also detention cells, torture chambers, and cells for life imprisonment. I would have stayed here to work, but alas, that's not why I'm here.*

"The calm madman, following the Shobfs, passed the last chamber and the usual tunnel of red quartz began."

Shobf: That's it, we're almost there. You will continue without me. You need to go straight through and there will be a door. The same dforf lives behind the door.

Calm madman: Okay, thank you. Then I'm off, will you be waiting for me?

Shobf: Yes, I will be expecting you.

Calm madman: Thank you.

"The calm madman bowed, put his hand to his chest and stood up and walked straight down the tunnel."

--- It's been about 2 minutes---

Calm madman: * Apparently I came. According to the words, this door leads to a demonic dwarf. Even though I imagined it to be made of wood, but it's made of iron, well, nothing. I should probably knock.*

"The calm madman knocked."

???: Who did it bring?

Calm madman: Hello, I would like to discuss 1 question with you. He's not related to you, at least not yet.

???: Ahem. Let's say. Okay. Come in.

"Someone started to open the iron door."

Calm madman: * A strange design, on my part, a handle or something similar that can open the door is missing. So it can only be opened from the inside.*

"From the gap formed, someone's face appeared. Due to the almost complete absence of light, only outlines could be seen. On the little man's face were crystals made of purple and black quartz, long hair, one horn like a goat. All this made it look like it wasn't a person."

Calm madman: Hello again. I am a calm madman, the son of the progenitor. I have a couple of questions for you.

???: Hello, my name is Grodr. Come on in, we'll discuss everything inside.
