After the captives were freed, they focused on the Ogres who were immediately rounded up and positioned in a small area as the rest began working on something.

About three other automatons gathered in a small area in the village square as they pointed their arms towards the open space before them.

As they did so, various small sparks could be seen appearing in the air and several seconds later, a massive door-shaped portal appeared.

"Everyone in a single line and follow the Automatons before you" A cold voice escaped from the Metallic demons

With much hesitation and lack of choice in the matter, the Ogres obeyed the command and began following the Automatons into the portal as they said their last good byes to the village that had housed them all.

"That is all of them sir" Number four said

"Excellent, lead them straight to the Evolution chamber" Jerry ordered as he finished packing his kit and go ready to return to his territory.

"As you wish, my lord" Number four answered as it informed the required Automaton using some unknown network between them.

With everything packed up, Jerry gave the place and the village a last look before he stepped into the portal created by his assistant.

On the other side of the portal was a large office, decorated in a manner suited for an administrator. Jerry wasted no time as he sat on the now familiar seat.

From the office, he had a clear view of his territory, down below he could see various archdemons and automatons walking around carrying some construction equipment or doing one thing or the other.

A small town was slowly forming in the territory as well as an army. In fact, it wasn't wrong to say that he was truly becoming a governor. As Jerry looked out the window, he saw the automatons coming into the town with the captured Ogres as they marched towards a section of the town

"Hmm, His majesty was right, this is a nice distraction" he said as he looked away from the window to the small picture that was hung by the wall.

In the picture was a young woman and a young boy who looked to be around 4 or 5 years old. They were his wife and son, one of the many requests he had made to his majesty who seemed to be capable of anything.



Knowing that after sometime, he will probably start to forget what they look like, he requested that his memory of them be made not a picture. He couldn't deny that his current level strengthened his memory and all but there was no guarantee he will find them any time soon.

"My lord, the captives have been prepared for the ritual" Number Four called out drawing his attention

"I'm coming" Jerry replied as he picked up a small badge that was on the table and followed the Automaton out.

"Tsk"

Jerry made out a sound signifying annoyance as soon as he stepped out of his office. He still wasn't used to the extremely powerful beings he now had as soldiers and guards.





Just standing outside his door were two Arch-demons, beings of unimaginable power… at least that's what the system showed, Jerry couldn't believe that such a creature existed.

There was actually a creature above the SSS-rank, Jerry couldn't wrap his head around it but here they were and he had lived with them for weeks now.

"Sir!!" The Arch demons shouted as they saluted him

"At ease" Jerry replied as he continued on his way.

Ignoring all the other archdemons he met on the way, Jerry continued to follow the Automaton until he got to a fairly large building that stood just beside his summoning temple or pool.

The building itself looked a bit like a temple too in fact it looked almost like the summoning pool but there were many major differences.

Jerry approached the building without any hints of shock or even surprise on his face since he was already familiar with it, he had come here more times than he could count and for many weeks now.

"Sir!!" The ones guarding the building saluted as he put them at ease too

He was slowly getting used to it, he couldn't lie that previously his status as governor meant nothing to him… well it was only seen as a shield but now, he felt like he really was a governor.

Well at the moment, he was more of a town lord than a governor, the average city has a population of at least 50,000 and States went as far as 300 million or sometimes more.

He currently only had about 8000 people living in his territory for now, 5000 of those were being trained to join the army and the other 2000 were all in construction and agriculture.

It was a lot if you thought about how this world was probably a medieval one which even their biggest countries should at most have a population of 2 million at most.

It was exciting thinking about how he would be the one who would grow his population and territory to such a level. True, he didn't know much about ruling or governing a state but the Transmitter came with a wealth of knowledge possibly even greater than the internet.

As he stepped into the evolution chamber as he had named it, he could see all the newly captured Ogres and a few other creatures standing in what looked like a ritual ground.

On the floor, one could easily spot the massive magic circle that was carved into the ground, it gave the entire temple-like space a mystical feel to it.

"All has been prepared sir; they are waiting for you" One of the older arch demons said as Jerry nodded and began walking towards the other end of the temple.

There a small throne could be seen, so far, he had yet to find the real purpose for the throne that was placed there. There were many other ways of achieving the only purpose it had.

"Move back, i am starting" Jerry said as he sat on the throne looking at the Ogres who were all facing him and staring at him with murderous gazes

With their intellect, he could tell that they had figured out that he was in-charge here, they hated him for attacking and killing their shaman and chief but they couldn't do anything despite being free to do so.

This was simply because to them, the strongest ruled and it made perfect sense that whoever was in-charge of this army of metal demons and monstrous beings was definitely powerful too.

After giving the Ogres one last look, Jerry brought out the badge he had taken from his office, it was his symbol of office and his proof of identity.

The badge was designed like a shield and two spears that crossed each other carved into them. It was the symbol he had chosen to represent him.

Without any more hesitation, Jerry placed the badge on the arm rest of his throne. On it was a small groove designed specifically for the badge and as soon as he did so, the entire room came to life.

Some energy he wasn't familiar with began to gather in the room as a red hue appeared on the bodies of the ogres. The magic circle lit up with such force that it nearly blinded him but he was prepared for it so he had long since looked away.

His throne too had several markings on them that lit up too and soon everything went dark. All that remained was a large symbol in the sky, his symbol and above it was another.

One he didn't know but just by looking at it, he understood what it meant and what it symbolized. He could feel the invincible being behind the symbol and it brought him joy as he knew it meant his wishes will be granted sooner or later.

"Gye Nyame, I fear nothing but the omnipotence of the King" Jerry said somehow knowing the quote despite only just looking at the symbol.

Seconds later, the symbols disappeared as everything returned back to normal, he could see the Ogres again but they were all different now, the aura the oozed off their body pressed against his shoulders as though it wanted to push him into the floor.

The magic circle was now slowly dimming as the energy that had gathered in the room slowly began to fade away. He couldn't say he truly understood all that had happened here however he knew that the evolution was over.

"My lord!!" They all shouted as they got on their knees almost in sync
