Supreme Monarch

After ending his business with the two prisoners in the underground cells, Tyler left the rest to Albert as he exited the miniature dungeon under his castle. With that, the only thing left for him to do now was check up on Ragdek— who was currently working with Erin in creating a highly secure command center on the highest floor of the East wing, the 10th floor.

This command center would be where Erin would establish her communication network, where a secure method of communications would be established amongst all Tyler's officers.

Working in close proximity with Z's intelligence Command Unit that had been established on the same floor. They would be able to control the flow of information in a more effective and highly secure way.

Walking out of the stairs that led to the dungeon, Tyler met back up with Cora— who was waiting with the guards that stood by the sides of the stairs in shifts.

Demons of their levels could easily go days without food or drinks so it was easy for them to remain in their post constantly with little breaks.

However, as a former minimum wage worker, Tyler couldn't stand for such harsh working conditions despite their insistence that it was their pleasure to serve him. He made sure they were not only well compensated but had ample time off despite their shortage of manpower as he didn't want to introduce his undead minions inside the castle.

The only undead he allowed inside the walls of the castle was his shadow rogues who could pass off as living beings if it wasn't for the death aura surrounding them.

Naturally, this selfish desire of his had only added to Liz's workload which Tyler could only apologize for.

However, the reason why he hadn't used the undead who possessed limitless stamina was to avoid the possibility of someone being corrupted by the passive negative energy his undead emitted, even if he knew he could easily cure them if that was to happen.

He hadn't created that many undead creatures since the ones he had were destroyed in the war but the few he had personally created beside the shadow rogues were assigned as sentries to protect the castle walls.

As the barrier protected the castle from unexpected attacks and intruders, it would be rare for a situation like the one that occurred with Mammon to repeat itself so he didn't think it would be wise to waste the potential of his vassals by assigning them to such an uneventful job and being sentries.

As the undead did not need sleep, food, or feel fatigued, he knew they were the best candidate for the job. Plus, with intelligent undead like the Lich and Doom Lords, they could instantly report to him if they sensed something amiss and would never slack off due to the protection of the barrier. f𝚛e𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝒆𝗹.c𝗼𝒎

Walking down the castle's corridors towards the East wing, Tyler casually passed the time by messing around with a few of his skills while simultaneously paying attention to the maids who greeted him in awe along the way.

He didn't know how long it had taken or when he had arrived but before he knew it, Cora announced that he had arrived in from of the entrance to their new command center.

She was just about to open the door for him when it suddenly opened on its own and Tyler's eyes widened in absolute surprise.

'Automatic doors?'

The idea had completely escaped him before now, but it was clearly the solution for having to wait for his maid to open his doors for him which only made him feel awkward.

However, to Tyler's disappointment, the doors had not opened on their own, rather, they had been pulled open by someone from within.

"Oy, it's Lord Ty. Why are you here?"

Tyler's disappointment caused him to ignore the person that spoke to him as his mind wandered aimlessly. The reason he had even thought this could've been an automatic door was because he had used his skill; Nensha, to provide the dwarves with countless product ideals from his world that was safe to be implemented here and this had probably been one of them.

He hadn't really paid attention to the process as he had left the task to Uriel and had been focused on mastering his skills as well as improving his mana control.

As Tyler's mind reflected on that pile of paper he had given the dwarves, his mind was sudden jotted back to him by the abrupt response from his side.

"This is Lord Ty's castle, he has the right to go anywhere he please."

"Hmm, oh, my bad, I wasn't trying to sound rude. I was just curious about Lord Ty's presence here. The last time I saw you I was blessed with so many marvelous ideas for new products so my curiosity got the better of me. Kfufufufuu..."

While Tyler was still stuck on the disappointment of this not being an automatic door, Cora had been annoyed by Ragdek's supposed lack of respect as he had been the one to open the door only to meet Tyler standing there.

Ragdek laughed as he stroked his beard only to catch a glimpse of Cora glaring at him which quickly calmed him down as he coughed slightly before speaking again:

"Ah... Lord Ty, to what do we owe this honor?"

Tyler smiled somewhat awkwardly as he saw Cora nod in satisfaction to Ragdek's improved behavior.

"I came to observe the recent progress. By the way, did you succeed in replicating that item, the Paragon Observer? I believe I made that your top priority."

The Paragon Observer was one of the God Tier Magic Artifacts that Tyler had obtained from the Magic Library. It was an insanely broken item that Tyler intended to make the crux of Erin's communication network as not only could it be used on a grand scale, it had God Tier skills like Ultimate clairvoyance and Remote viewing.

The God Tier item also had skills like Magic projection which was essentially a holographic projection of what it could observe and given that the item had a worldwide range, it could see everything that wasn't hidden by Magic and transmit the information back to light speed.

The item also had a skill called parallel construct that allowed it to be duplicated and used in multiple locations within a limited range by creating projected linked constructs of itself with the same abilities.

This meant it could be used all across the castle for communication and even entertainment purposes. However, that was only limited to the castle which was the limit of the items range.

While Tyler had thought about using the Thought communication spell in conjunction with the item to establish a form of communication as the item could view any location coordinate imputed in it.

That hadn't been a feasible idea as thought communication was also limited in range and he was the only one capable of extending its range. The spell was also of relatively low tier and even with high-end encryption, it would be easy to hijack their communication or worse, cut off communication at a crucial time.

This was why Tyler had given the God Tier item to Ragdek in an attempt to create lesser versions of the items that could be linked to each other worldwide. As the item could transfer both images and sound at light speed, it was a perfect communication device that would work a little similar to a smartphone or computer monitor without the internet connection.

However, God Tier artifacts were not something that could be easily replicated so this was a tall order for the dwarves. However, Uriel had provided Tyler with the main concept of the artifacts which should aid in the process.

Of course, Tyler had also asked them to add a memory function to the device so he could someday figure out a way to upload the movies and music in his memories inside them and regain some more functions of his smartphone.

"I'm ashamed we haven't figured out the secret to creating Magic artifacts yet my lord, but the runes you transcribed for us are a big help and we've managed to create Extraordinary ranked versions of that artifact."

"Really?"

"Yes, my apologies. Although we've made the device just as you've specified. The range is even more limited than Thought Communication. We may need to create something that can optimize the signal and boost it across the planet."

To be honest, Tyler hadn't expected the dwarves to have successfully made the lesser versions the same rank as actual magic items. Hell, he had expected them to be no more than Ordinary ranked items, yet they've somehow made it even better than he'd hoped.

"Creating many of such things might turn out to be ineffective and pointless so we'll need to make it powerful enough to optimize the items all across the planet. I think we'll have to either place such a massive booster on the mood or in the outer sky... What am I saying, forgive me for spewing out such nonsense Lord Ty? I seem to have gotten carried away."

'Wait, is he talking about creating a satellite?'

Tyler thought as he reached into space close to a spatial box strapped to his waist, Ragdek brought out a small box that was half the size of an adult male's palm and almost as flat as a smartphone.

Of course, it didn't look like a smartphone as it was completely made out of metal with a single button to the side. There was an array of Magic runes engraved on its surface and as Tyler could read up to level one advance runes now, he instantly knew how to operate this item.

Basically, each item was given a unique code that could be described as a serial number and that number was then magically recorded into the God Tier artifact, in essence linking the two together.

As they didn't have a computer or an A. I like Uriel, all this would be stored in Erin's head and she was able to accurately keep track of which P.O would be given to whom.

Of course, Tyler didn't think this was the most efficient way to go about things so he had made it a point to find out how he could attach Uriel to the castle just as the last demon king had done to the Magic Library.

Naturally, the solution to that could only be found in the Magic Library which was still on cooldown for another two months.

"The level for this is excellent. We can't mass produce it if its level is too high or he's too valuable."

"I see... so my lord plans on selling this to the public."

"I'm considering the consequences of allowing such ease of communication to become widespread in this world. But for now. Make only the Extraordinary versions for those with the Darknar name and Ordinary versions for everyone else in the family."

Ragdek and his friends had been present the day Tyler had named his inner circle so naturally, they all now had the last name Darknar attached to theirs, and they had also had their Magic potential broken after the undead war so their skills had improved tremendously since then.

"Alright. I'll prepare them at once. I've also prepared a special one for you. It should be ready before you leave tomorrow."

"Is that so, alright? You may leave."

With a subtle bow, Ragdek received the P.O he had given Tyler before excusing himself from Tyler's presence and walking towards his workstation.

"Hold on, there was one more thing I'll need you to work on for me if you have the time."

Ragdek immediately stopped in his tracks after hearing Tyler call out to him and tirned to face him when he saw an interesting expression on his master's face and smirked.

"Oh... and what could that be?"

"A door."
