The Boring and Verbose Worldbuilding Exposition
After wiping out all the Red Scourge swarms on Milano-V, I turned them into Black Scourge through blackwashing—re birthing them as excellent soldiers.
At the same time, excluding the planetary government's capital, I brought every pioneer city on the planet under our control and temporarily formed them into a single federation.
Of course, once we created that federation, the planetary government tried to stick their noses in, whining something like, "This makes things no fun for us," and subtly attempting a military crackdown...
But I didn't really understand the details of how that played out.
From what Elena and Mayor Lime Pedro said, roughly...
"It's simple. We showcased the existence of the roughly 3 million+ Black Scourge we absorbed in this incident, and the other city governments, led by Heisenberg, flexed their political power."
"Hoong?"
"There are all sorts of methods. No matter how powerful the planetary government is, it's still just a developing government on a planet deep in colonization."
"So if each city steps up with a PR campaign and counters..."
"—The planetary government can't easily respond."
"Eh? But the scale is so different. Is that even possible?"
"—Of course. We're only talking about the cities themselves here. Head-on clashes are impossible."
"But the people making up those cities—especially us mayors—have all sorts of politically and economically connected 'friends' from climbing to this position."
"Just like the mayor says. We can't resist directly, but interstellar corporations tied to each city government, or even the higher authority over Milano-V, the Milano-III planetary government, can be mobilized."
"Hooeeng."
They were clearly trying to explain it in the simplest way possible so I'd understand, but...
My brain, optimized for mad scientist mode, had zero interest in anything else and was overheating right on the verge of overload.
Well, the silver lining was that Elena let out a deep sigh at my state and buried my head between her massive mammaries.
—Fwoosh
"Hweeng?"
"...It's a simple spell. I keep it on me normally since I sweat a lot, but you looked like you needed your head cooled down."
"Hweeng~."
Surprisingly, using the cool air from her magical AC (or whatever) emanating subtly from between her breasts, she cooled my overheated brain.
My slightly fried noggin calmed down, and with a thought like "Whoa, this is fucking bliss," I reset my brain and avoided further issues.
Anyway, putting that aside, to sum it up super roughly...
"So basically, the mayors of each city pressured the Milano-V planetary government from behind the scenes using their connected friends?"
"Exactly."
"—You get it right away now, so why not earlier...?"
"You think about so many different things normally. Sometimes we have to give your brain a break."
"—Ah, I see what you mean."
And with that, all the issues got sorted out somehow.
The next morning, after we'd hustled through and resolved all remaining problems...
I woke up naked atop my attachment pillow-cum-blanket—the squishy slime that felt just as soft and plush as Elena's massive mammaries. (Ever since the TS, I sleep naked!)
Using the mechanical arms attached to my back—precisely, near my 'tail'—I got dressed in fresh clothes from the closet plus my signature white coat.
Then, moistening my mouth with morning cola instead of coffee...
"Hmm, nothing to do right now."
Thinking it over, I'd already handled all the urgent stuff yesterday.
Right now, going anywhere would just mean taking up space or watching Elena buried in post-op cleanup while I tinkered with weird tentacle monster dev to kill time.
If I tried daughter-ing during all that material usage, cool beauty Elena might get sad about the waste.
So I turned right around, headed back to my room, hung the coat on the chair back, dove onto the slime in just casuals, and decided to chill with some gallery scrolling.
Lounging there on the slime—which, for something made in just 8 hours, boasted perfect texture and bouncy firmness—while checking the gallery...
Perfect timing: the gallery had some mystery bait concept post burning up, ideal for killing time.
So what the hell was it about...?
The place openly nicknamed "Galactic Overlord" or "Space Demon King Army".
Our first major faction lore dump is, naturally, the Demonia Empire—home to 99% of our consul gays.
Normally, games handle this via tooltips or info screens, but since we all soul-possessed here and those vanished, we gotta write it ourselves lol.
Anyway, straight to the point: the Demonia Empire is still the undisputed strongest power in the world.
Noobs keep getting confused by our stories or surroundings, thinking "Demonia is actually total shit?"
Yeah, it's weaker than its peak, but that peak was literally when it swallowed the entire galaxy and eyed other galaxies.
No joke—Earth sphere included, tons of places were originally Empire territory.
But the previous emperor fucked everything up, so now core regions got divvied up by those factions, and Demonia's basically regrouping the fringe powers.
Still, pure territory and forces make it #1—no single faction can solo it.
Earth (old capital) got raided, but the emperor, gov officials, key facilities, fleets—especially the Imperial Guard—mowed down rebels and retreated safely to outer light-years.
Bases and secret labs across the universe remain, and the current emperor's gripping the reins hard, so potential's intact.
Of course, not flawless.
As Jigayeon said before, current emperor's efforts keep it from full-on wars with others.
But previous emperor's messes, Empire's aggressive nature, and sending consuls/branches everywhere for conquest make it shunned by most.
Like the demonic cult in wuxia novels?
(Real demonic cult's separate, so take it with a grain of salt.)
Having ruled the galaxy, its tech spread is uniquely balanced unlike others.
Pure science, magic, wuxia, superpowers, faith, etc.—all evenly top-tier. Not commie-equal trash, but uniformly elite, so user synergy is insane depending on growth.
Races mostly humanoid with horns, tails, or weird organs—hence "demon-like," called Demonia.
Diplomacy: no real friends, neutral or distanced by most.
That's Demonia for now. Later: Earth Coalition, ultramegacorps like Eisen-Uta,
Atlantis Confederacy of Independent Countries (ACIC), Babel Church, etc.
"Oooong! Oooong!"
It was the "worldbuilding lore" bait that oldtimers had only vaguely mentioned before.
Not just our Demonia Empire, but the "Earth Federation"—er, Coalition—that got name-dropped.
Plus Atlantis Confederacy of Independent Countries (ACIC), Babel Church, and other major nations/factions.
Even pirates and the Replicant Republic we'd heard in passing—all spilling out in an all-star info dump by the oldtimers, like some Avengers assembly.
Perfect timing for killing time, so I dove in with interest to check the whole concept post.
