Black Numbers

Black Numbers「 」is a unit of Tempest composed solely of elite demons that serves Rimuru under the leadership of Diablo.

They are approximately 700 personnel consisting of Diablo's 3 old rivals, their 6 subordinates who further have 100 subordinates each & a rogue who too further has 100 subordinates. After being summoned, these demons are made to inhabit/possess the demon dolls inside capsules developed by Tempest.undefined

Background
After the Tempest tournament, Diablo returned to the Underworld with the intention of gathering a force worthy of serving his master, Rimuru. Thus Diablo set off to search for potential demon candidates, laying waste to countless demons in his wake, mostly his previous rivals. After gathering the suitable candidates, Diablo presented them to Rimuru upon his return to Tempest and summoned ten elite demons that he deemed worthy.

The Empire Invasion Arc
Upon Diablo's return, he introduced 3 Arch Demons, 7 Greater Demons, and the remaining 700 Lesser Demons. As they are spiritual forms, they thus used the dolls developed by Ramiris as their vessels in order to manifest in the physical plane. The 3 Arch Demons -- Testarossa, Ultima, Carrera -- evolved into Demon Dukes after being named, and their incarnation to the doll was instantly completed, turning into real beauties. Their might is horrifyingly overwhelming while their strength is on a completely different dimension. The 7 Greater Demons: Venom, Veyron, Moss, Shien, Zonda, Agera, Esprit --- also evolved into Arch Demons after being named. One hundred (100) Greater Demons were born among the total of 700 Lesser Demons' souls that are lodged onto the cultivated demon dolls due to accumulating enough magic essence/energy for evolution from inhabiting the dolls. These demons are revealed to be powerful with abilities that surpass the Majins/Devils. Dozens of the Lesser Demons became Greater-demons-like and have abilities above A ranks.undefined

Tenma Great War Arc
During the rewarding ceremony after the invasion of the East Empire, Rimuru granted 100,000 souls to Diablo, who in turn evolved into a True Demon Lord/ Devil Lord, and in effect, his lieutenant, Venom, evolved into an Earl class Demon Noble. After Guy gave Rimuru 500, 000 souls in exchange of evolving Mirari and  Hirari into True Demon Lords, and Rimuru used them to evolve the rest of his Twelve Patrons. Testarossa, Ultima, and Carrera were further evolved into True Demon Lords/Devil Lords and was thus referred to us the Devil Lord Trio. As such, their lieutenants evolved as well into Demon Nobles, the 100 Greater Demons evolved into Demon Chevaliers (Knights) and the 600 Lesser Demons evolved into Greater Demons.undefined
