They will likely wonder who he is and think he is serving Lenamare to oppose them. A type IV could never do what he did, so he must be a V. V's can be summoned, but can't be well controlled if at all. Nobody would believe him to be a novitiate animage with less than 1 year of practice. His overwhelming displays of ability passed solely on what he can do from talent are staggering. If he is a prodigy all will believe him to have been in hiding for centuries or millennium waiting to enact a plan. His growth will likely be explosive and confuse the abyss out of all parties as they search for some inklings of his past which Rupert seems to indicate exist, but do not. They will spend a lot of time looking for what he has done and who knows him and will find nobody. Since he is gifted with linkmastery as shown by tapping god mana, he will likely do something about the bindings on himself or others as well. Wheter this be severing the link, unbinding the demon, or using it against the wizard who is master is merely guesswork at this time, but he will likely stare down Len in the near future. Len knows he was their and will likely try to summon him. Tom being impulsive, and not desiring to leave Rupert with Tizzy(a negative influence to the development of children) will likely do something to cause more panic without knowing why. His refusal to look ignorant will thus lead him to do amazing unheard of feats unaware. Again more panic and inquiries into his background that find nothing. He is going to worry these paranoid people to the extreme with his lack of information available to him. He's a major player that appeared from nowhere who few would believe to be new.
They will likely try to figure out where his motives and allegiance lie. Their maybe proposal for alliance between them and he might ally himself with them if they split. Overall their reaction will likely be shock, fear, and apprehension. It takes effort to surprise these people, and they don't like surprises that could hinder them. It shows a hole in their intelligence. They will look for a problem that doesn't exist and possibly try and mimic what he did.

Oh, and conveniently for my treasure horde.

The understanding/digesting of all this by the Archdemons will require lots of drinking, which will mean lots more product placement for:

Denubian Choco-CoffeeTM

I am very pleased to have worked out a sponsorship program with them. It's notoriously tricky to deal with them. Their CEO, Sjobs is a huge perfectionist and very protective of his trademarks and patents.

I'm trying to get a distributorship for Earth...I'm just not sure who's going to be able to drink it...or at least drink it more than once. I'm thinking I won't get a lot of repeat customers....

It did? Or are you talking about Pyromastery? Him changing into fire.

Well, that's a risk, Starbucks is owned by Lillith through proxy agents.

Not sure I want to compete with her. She's not really "good" with competition.

Maoo is correct in his statement.

At the end Tom shapechanges to a variant of his human self to talk to Talarius...which is when he gets stabbed.

However there is even more evidence of this that is exposed by the recording that you basically have to wait for in Book II

(which is not really on the site)

yes, it was most amusing.

I can say this because: Not only have I read the next book (I dictated to the author) I actually lived through these events, all the books (naturally there are six hundred and sixty six volumes)

OK...there's a spoiler...I live! Screw you Lillith and Asmodeus! I live through the books!!!!!

Go for it Tizzy!

Yes, Oorstemoth was balling it, as were people on the walls of the city. (OK, some/most were mirroring it....which is 2D vs 3D but...)

And there were a LOT of demon witnesses who will retell the story once they are back in the Abyss.

The aftershocks are enormous....

The author is taking forever...he's been writing since before the last book came out (he never actually stopped once he opened the hole).

And he's still only about about 2 days later! (Admittedly he's not been doing this full time 24x7, lazy scoundrel. If he were a demon he wouldn't need to sleep).

So many people all running around crazy, I'm getting dizzy with the scene edits....

It's a wonder he hasn't shifted to two columns to write multiple simultaneous story lines side by side...

It looks like this is going to be another "stop when you can't squeeze any more pages into the dead tree and still read the text with a magnifying glass" books.

The one scene in this book that i want to see starts as follows:

Lenamare: TOM! i command you to stop! by the bindings that i have on you!

Tom: piss off human *zaps him*

That's how i see it anyway.

I was actually thinking along the lines of "Tom is only a few months old", so he shouldn't hate his Accursed Master as much as Boggy or, god forbid, you Tizzy.

When you add in Ramses,Bess,and Exaturd then Lenamare ain't jack. He's a lower player who's a glory-ho(egomaniac) and i was thinking that Tom should put that inferior human with a superiority complex in his place.
