I was currently watching the warmth of the crew spread throughout the entire room, it brought me a great sense a satisfaction that Gehrman could finally gain some sort of enjoyment in his new life.
The crew eventually got their bearings but the warmth never faded away.
"Milord, may I ask why you really came here? I mean no offense but I don't really believe that you only came here for tourism."
"It's one of the reasons but I do have an ulterior motive."
Gehrman perked up from this, "What is it, I can help you with it if it's too much trouble?"
"I came here… to personally train you."
My words sent a shock to everyone, but Gehrman wasn't stunned by my words but rather about why I came here for that, "Milord, you could've called me to Eden for that, why did you come down to say this?"
"I just told you why, Tourism. More specifically, I needed to get out of my clocktower. I've been isolating myself for so long, I just needed a breather."
Selene put her hand up intending to ask a question, "Um, I have a question. Is Gehrman not strong enough for you lord Pneuma?"
"I don't care how strong he is, but Gehrman does and frankly I need him to get stronger now. You probably don't know this, but among those who directly serve me, Gehrman is the weakest."
My words shocked everyone, they hadn't seen Necrozma after his evolution so it's understandable they'd be shocked. They had another reason to be shocked and that's because Gehrman was already considered to have one of the highest power in the dynasty and that's evens without the key of sanction.
Now they found out that Gehrman was the weakest of those who serve Pneuma directly. Just what kinda power did the rest of his surbordinates have!?
" Do you have any objections?"
Gehrman nodded. I waved my hand in a horizontal arch and it took ten seconds before anyone could tell that we were in a completely different area. Everyone looked around and noticed that me and Gehrman was opposite each other. Gehrman had readied the key of sanction while the god standing before him looked calm but calculating.

58 times…
58 times had there been a battle between the two and 58 times had Pneuma treated Gehrman like a fucking ragdoll. The hunting party just had their worldview completely changed.
Like they said before, Gehrman was one of the highest powers in the dynasty, in fact Lady Elmesia herself said that she doubted whether she could actually defeat Gehrman and if so than she would probably sustain life-threatening injuries. Yet now Gehrman was destroyed in one attack 58 times.
The only time that Pneuma took it seriously was the last time and that was when Gehrman caught him off guard and was about to drive his scythe into the back of his neck. This prompted Pneuma to draw a black sword from nothingness and block his attack.
It was on this day that they realized the difference between a hunter that had the power to take on nations and impair the commands of kings… and a legitimate god.
"I guess that last time I was pretty close to getting you for you to have to draw Zelus." Gehrman bragged about his new achievement, in his mind, getting his master to draw his sword was considered a huge achievement.
"Don't get cocky. The only reason I did so was because both of my strongest defense skills wouldn't be able defend against the key of sanction. Although your mind I can say has leveled up to an unbelievable degree. I'm gonna have to take that away." I teleported the key of sanction away from him and put it into imaginary space, "You rely too much on your weapon, that it has become a burden."
Gehrman was stunned, "You can't just take my weapon from me!"
" Actually I can, I made it, remember!" Gehrman was stubborn, "Now up, I'm not done with you!"

At this point, they became numb to Gehrman getting bullied. Each time Gehrman fall to the ground, Pneuma would heal him and force him back up. This happened so much times that Gehrman literally said he had learnt pain nullification.
It can't be said that Gehrman being indiscriminately beat up was ineffective. His biggest problem was his lack of strategies in a direct confrontation without his divine key. Now that problem was mostly alleviated, in this training session.
He had been healed so many times that the holy power permanently altered his biology and gave him Ultraspeed regeneration.
Pneuma had also directed him to adapt his body to instinctively learn basic arts such as diamond path, instant motion and air flight.
"I think that that's enough for now. Gehrman." I said causing Gehrman to collapse onto the floor trying to catch his breath. As I said his name, it seemed to become etched into his soul.
When Gehrman had undergone majinization, it removed my divine blessing and he was technically nameless. I had waited until now to give it back so that he can gain the demon lord seed.
Before his could completely lie limply on the floor Silas had caught him and began carrying him on his back. The entire crew looked tired but they couldn't go to sleep, despite them becoming numb to Gehrman getting beat up, they were still enamoured by the increasing display of skill.
Just as Silas caught Gehrman, the sun began to rise. Seeing this put a smile on Simon's face, it had been so long since seeing the sun rise like this. He had also been both impressed with his teaching abilities and his subordinates growth rate.
As he looked at his students massive magicules increase and physical power increase, I was filled with pride, 'In just one night, my surbordinates had become a demon lord seed and even far surpassed it.'

I teleported everyone back to their suite and forcibly put them back to sleep.
"That was quite interesting, are you an enemy of them or just a concerned friend?" A familiar voice came from the corner of the room.
I turned around to greet her, "Hello Elmesia, it's good to see you again."
"Again? I'm sorry but I don't recallnus meeting before."
"Oh, well I looked like this when we met." I instantly transformed into her, "Look familiar."
"You're Pneuma?"
"In the flesh." I walked over and sat down next to her, I layed my head down on her shoulder and closed my eyes, "Apologies, I know that this is improper but I'm not in the mood for any political nonsense. I just want to take a little bit of a nap."
Even though technically I didn't need sleep, it was still a nice feeling.
