Chapter 2: The one who is weak against evil

It had been almost 2 days since the arrive of the whole Great Tomb of Nazarick to this... New World.

And even though, Momonga should have been afraid after seeing what his body had become, but Momonga was unmoved. Indeed, it even felt natural to be that way.

There was another reason for this, besides being used to this look from his time in YGGDRASIL.

That reason was that his mind had been changed, along with his body.

The first sign of that was the fact that whenever he felt an intense surge in his emotions, he would immediately calm down, as though something was suppressing it. Another thing was that he could not feel thirst, hunger, or fatigue. There might have been something resembling lust, but he had felt no excitement even when he was caressing Albedo's soft breasts

Right now, he possessed an undead body and mind, but there were some remnants of his humanity left. Therefore, even when he experienced emotions, if they surged to a peak, they would be immediately suppressed. If he continued on like this, he might end up losing all his emotions in the future.

Of course, even if that happened, it would hardly be a big deal, because no matter how this world turned out or what happened to his body, his will was still his own.

The first hour of the first day, Momonga kept in his room all the time thinking of why did his friend said those insane thoughts about conquering this world.

Then he remmembered more of her character background:

Some time after the Genesis Dragonid's, borned form Ymir's tears, and the jötunn's, borned from Ymir's sweat, were born, the Gods appeared in the YGGDRASIL populating the place that would be called later as Asgard. At first there was peace between the first generation of races in YGGDRASIL, but after some ages... things got complicated for everyone, as a part of the Gods, thinking themselves as the superiors of the whole existance and the ones deservings of ruling all the existant realms, they caused an event that it was known later as "The Beginning War".

In this war, the descendents of the first god, Buri, his grandchildren, Odin, Vili and Vé, killed the father of all the existance and with his dead body they created a new realm that they called Midgard, the blood of Ymir drowned jötunn's while the Genesis watched with impotence how their brothers and sisters were drown by the blood of their father in matter of instants, they tried to save the jötunn's but at the end almost all the jötunn's were drowned... except for two, Bergelmir and his wife.

The Genesis seeing as two of their brothers and sisters were alive made them incredibly happy, they saved the both and carried them to a new place that Belgemir and his wife called it Jötunheim. The Genesis asked the help of the last jötunn's to go and destroy all the Gods for this atrocious act, even the other faction that appeared after Odin and his brothers slayed the TRUE father of all, and for the blasfemy of callin him the Allfather instead of calling him what he truly was... The Creator slayer.

The Genesis didn't teased them a lot because they all knew that they, the last jötunn's, only wanted peace as they said from the first time that their way of vengeance was to live and prosper. The Genesis prepared for their next battle against the faction of the Gods known as the Aesir, the gods war and power, this time in their homeland, Asgard.

... But the Genesis didn't knew that... the Aesir were prepared for them, and when all the Genesis were in Asgard Odin put his plan into action. Odin founded a way to weaken the Genesis leaving them with just a fraction of their old power and he banished them to the first appearing realm, Niflheim. But they didn't went with empty hands, as they had stolen some of the Aesir's powers from them, but just a small fraction of their power- And the now weak Genesis were divided in three groups, the ones that still had enough control to keep their normal body, the Dragonoids; the ones that were able to control their Complete Form on a certain extent, the Dragonkin, and the ones that didn't had the control of their transformation as the previous ones so their body reacted different to the weaking, their body was unable to keep their Complete Form under control and they were later know as Dragons- After that, the Dragonoids, the Dragonkin and the Dragons swore complete vengeance against the Aesir.

After some more ages, a Dragonoid found a root and as he was insanely hunger he didn't though about it so much and started to eat the root- not knowing that that specific root was one of the roots of the YGGDRASIL. Some days later, he was satisfied, all his hunger all his thirsty gone, not only that... his power, his old power was back.

He called his brothers and sisters so they could regain their strengh... unaware for any of them, the fact of them eating that root of the YGGDRASIL corrupted their souls- to some extent- the pure souls of the ones that eated from the root. Some of their brothers and sister didn't wanted to eat from the root- feeling it's divine and sacred power- and they asked for someone of their brothers or sisters to open a portal to go to another realm as they didn't wanted to see their brothers and sisters like that- all of them mad with thoughts of destroying the YGGDRASIL or ruling all the realms as they should have done from the very start after burning to ashes Asgard- one of their sisters accepted and the Dragonoids, the Dragonkin and the Dragons were transported to the realm of their cousins, Jötunheim, and after some ages, some of them- mostly Dragonkin and Dragons- spread all across the Nine Realms.

But the one who was the most corrupted and the most strengthened of them all was the first one that ate the root and as his power grew stronger- making him unable to return to his humanoid form- and as his madness grew stronger he changed his name...

He was now Nidhogg, the Devourer of the Nine Worlds, the bane of YGGDRASIL.

... But before any being- aside from the Dragonoids, the Dragonkins and the Dragons- would know from him, something happened among the jötunn's, as mostly of the descendants of Belgemir werem't as kind as him... Enraged for the previous actions of the Aesir's- The actions from which even them regreted doing, especially Odin and his brothers, as they were the ones that killed their great grandfather- This group of enraged jötunn's started eliminating every single race under the protection of the Aesir.

These enraged and evil jötunn's even killed some Dragonoids, Dragons, Dragonkin and jötunn's that tried to reason with them to stop that nonsense or that tried to protect the races that they wanted to kill.

That's were the protector of all the races appeared, the hammer-wielding god of thunder, lightning, storms, oak trees, strength, hallowing and fertility.

Thor

Thor slayed many of the evil jötunn's and gave mercy to the ones that asked for it.

After he locked the evil jötunn's on unbreakable jails, he gained the gratitude of every single race. And- even though mostly of the Dragonoids, Dragonkins, Dragons and jötunn's still held a great grudge against mostly of the Aesir- the all accepted Thor and his descendents on Jötunheim with open arms.

...

When Odin heared the rumors of the "demon's" that he had created - wanting to correct his mistakes- He asked his son, Thor, to go to Jötunheim and ask for the help of anyone that could know how to defeat this threath.

And when Thor went, he asked for the help of everyone in Jötunheim- after having asked all the races of the other realms to help them against this threath- although hesitantly at first, they all accepted, seeing that the destiny of the whole YGGDRASIL was in danger.

With the help of the Dragonoids, they managed to create the perfect weapong against the Genesis's - The Undead- but among all the types that they had created there was one type tha could defeat the Genesis completely- the Overlord's.

The Aesir prepared themselves, as well all the races, and along an endless army of Undeads, they went to Niflheim but when they were just going to step into Niflheim...

The Death became the enemy of the Life.

...

Momonga was grateful that Etherea had positive karma because if it were not so then he would have to deal with his dear friend talking about turning into dust this New World.

Basically, she was insane just because she was in her brother character- that she started using after a time her brother died. Actually, her original character- the one that Momonga saw her when they first met- was a Half Golem.

It was strange that one of her weakness affected her so much, well if she became against him and the whole Nazarick- worst case- he was certain that he could stop her before she could make crazy things as he- and the Overlord in general but mostly Momonga as he specialized in death magic- was his natural counter.

After founding his courage after 43 long hours, he went to were she was and when she saw him... She apologized with a deep revernt bow at him- It was really awkward seeing his friend doing something like that- He told her that it wasn't necessary but she insisted saying that she had said something stupid and that she wanted to apologize as she founded her words very mean towards him.

After some awkward seconds, Momonga managed to stop her from doing so and after that he told her his whole theory about what had happened back there just hours ago, she became blank as thousands of thoughts ran in her head.

She didn't knew what to say about that but then another fact crossed her mind... her flame, in any part of her lore said something like... unless that she would become like Nidhogg or something like that.

This sudden thought scared the both players as they were thinking of that hellish posibility... but then Momonga thought about a Job that it was kinda similar and, probably, that Job- that Etherea had and it was called Soul Eater, as the more NPC or players she kills she gets empowered but only for a small amount of time- was the reason of that... they wanted that to be the case and not her becoming a Nidhogg... but Etherea told him that she had another theory- and also told him that her theory was the most probably case- of what had happened to her but she had to explain it later as they had to set their priorities straight.

Etherea got another thought, this time about the NPC, many of them were evil and, the most probably thing, more intelligent than them... so they made a list of the NPC that could be a danger in the future and in the top was... Demiurge, as he was a Demon and his thoughts were extremely complex for what they saw- obviously they couldn't make hasty conclusions as they hadn't saw him act a lot... but they had to keep an eye on him the most- shortly followed by Albedo- for the same reason- and Shalltear, as they thought about her passive [Bloody Frenzy].

If it's description was true then the more blood Shalltear's body is covered in, the stronger she becomes and her attack power soars. Because of that, she will slowly lose control of her mind and becomes unable to hold back her urge to slaughter. Without those mental brakes, Shalltear would indiscriminately massacre any prey she sees. To prevent activating it, she needs to fight while avoiding getting hit with blood and sucking it up with a weapon or other equipment.

She was literally a time bomb if she went combat, killing indiscriminately every single being on her way- even allies, or so they thought.

After considerating that they should keep their eyes on them even if they swore loyalty, after all, one could never be sure what would happen in the future. Thinking that they should change of topic before someone hears them, Momonga asked Etherea what she got until now of information.

...

---

...

Momonga was certain of one thing if his body were still human, he would be sweating buckets by now.

Momonga first asked about the neighboring countries, and Etherea responded with many names that he had never heard before. Although Ainz was prepared for this, he could not help but be surprised after hearing them.

At first, Momonga had thought that this world would be designed according to the fundamental principles of YGGDRASIL. After all, he could use YGGDRASIL's magic here, and there were many connections with YGGDRASIL to. Yet, none of the names he heard were related to YGGDRASIL. Well after all Etherea had said that the new surroundings did not remind him of any place in Midgard.

The nearby countries were the Re-Estize Kingdom, the Baharuth Empire, and the Slaine Theocracy. These names did not appear in the context of YGGDRASIL, which was inspired by Norse mythology. Although her friend had already told him that this world could be an alien one, he could not help but be surprised by it.

The impact was greater than he had expected.

This was the first time he had felt so shaken ever since he had become undead.

Momonga tried his best to remain calm, and reconsidered what he had heard about those neighboring kingdoms and the local geography.

Firstly, there was the Re-Estize Kingdom and the Baharuth Empire. These countries were on different sides of a mountain range, and to the south of those mountains was a sprawling forest, and at the edge of that forest was this village, under the Re-Estize Kingdom, and the fortress city of E-Rantel.

Relations between the Kingdom and the Empire were bad, and they would fight a battle in the wilderness near E-Rantel almost every year.

To the south was the Slaine Theocracy, the best way to describe the orientation of these countries was to draw a circle, and then divide it up with an inverted T. It seemed confusing, but it was much easier to describe things that way. To the left was the Re-Estize Kingdom, to the right was the Baharuth Empire, and below them was the Slaine Theocracy.

She also discovered many interesting things of this world that didn't existed on YGGDRASIL.

The first one was called Martial Arts...

Martial Arts are skills that can only be cultivated through intense training. The applications of martial arts are vast, ranging from altering one's physical prowess, strengthening weapons, to even altering the opponent's spatial and temporal awareness. Similar powers in YGGDRASIL were called "skills" and they are acquired mainly by players with warrior classes.

In terms of acquiring martial skills, it usually takes a novice around a year to achieve. This is through real battle experience, healing when injured, fighting stronger opponents with enhancement magic, etc. However, Martial Arts are limited through the user's physical and mental stamina. The more powerful a martial art is, the greater mental concentration is needed to fully perform it. However, this would also mean that concentrating too long will fatigue the user's mental and physical stamina over time.

As this was... kinda, like their world Etherea thought that that meant that they could still learn things like this... only to find that she wasn't capable of doing so by normal ways, even though she tried with all her might and concentration for three hours but it seemed to be like some of the rules of YGGDRASIL still affected them in some ways- but they didn't knew if the rules of YGGDRASIL- or at least a few of them- still affected the NPC, after all it seemed like they thought that this situation was always like this... Momonga thought that they had to test that later.

At first Momonga said to her that it was normal, after all you couldn't learn something that has to be learned through years of an intense practice, like she had said about the mages having to study to learn new spells- and he told her that maybe they could speed up the process of learning this Martial Arts with magic.

But then she said another interesting thing; she also thought that at start but a gut feeling told her to call an NPC to test if they could learn it so she called one of her daughters that had an specific job that was extremely useful to learn something- if the description of the Job was true- she called Gabriel and asked her to use a spell that Etherea started to use- after she noticed that she couldn't read the lips of the natives- to see if the language of the natives resembled to any of the languages that she knew, this spell was called [Astral Body]- it was a tier 2 spell that in this case was extremely useful as the user could project his or her "Astral Form" and move freely without the fear of someone seeing him or her unless they had a sensory ability- as a Divinity she also had that racial skill...

The surprise of Momonga and her surprise- in Etherea's case at that moment- was barely contained by them... she had learned it, she had learned it in just an HOUR. Etherea, at that moment, didn't knew how to explain this as she also had the same job, many theories runned through Momonga's head... but at the end he didn't managed to find a logical answer.

The Martial Art that she had learned was called [Cutting Edge], it was basically an ability that was able to gather air to give an extra cutting edge to a blade.

Growth was change. Then... who could guarantee that their absolute loyalty would not change? Even if it did not, he was still afraid that someday they would consider them unworthy of being the rulers of the glorious Nazarick. He feared being forced out of his position as guildmaster, or worse, to be killed by their friends creations.

As a way to calm him, Etherea continued saying the other things that she had learned that they didn't speaked Japanese or a language similar to the ones that she had heared it... but she understood their words completely like if they were speaking Japanese even though the movements of their mouths were clearly different, the first answer that came to their minds was that someone had fed the people of this world some sort of Translation Konnyaku. However, they did not know who had fed that substance to them. The language of this world was translated before the other party heard it.

If he could understand what the other person said, then he should be able to communicate with non-human lifeforms, like say, a dog or a cat... Etherea said that it was true his conclusion. In other words, this was a basic principle of the world. Then again, when one thought about it calmly, this was a magical world, which might run on completely different precepts than the world in which Ainz had been born.

It would seem that the basic knowledge and facts he had learned in his previous life were no longer applicable here. This was a grave problem.

If he was ignorant about this world, there was a chance he might make a fatal mistake. "Ignorance" was synonymous with "disaster," in this case.

Then, Momonga asked to Etherea if there was any sight if a player was in this world, it was obvious that they weren't the first players in this world... and that meant a lot of troubles for the whole Nazarick.

If other players had come to this world, they would probably gather up, given the nature of Japanese people. When the time came, he had to do almost anything to blend in. He could give in to anything as long as it did not involve Ainz Ooal Gown.

The problem was what would happen if the other side considered him an obstacle. The possibility was slight, but it could not be discounted.

Ainz Ooal Gown was a guild that had always roleplayed as villains through PKing, and thus they were a much-hated guild. He could not be sure that he or Etherea had shed that negative image. For all he knew, the other players might want to take revenge on him out of a sense of justice and righteous anger.

In order to avoid others declaring a vendetta on him, they had to refrain from doing anything that antagonized the surrounding people. For instance, massacring the local populace — especially innocent civilians — might enrage those players who had not yet lost their humanity. Of course, it would be a different matter if there was a reason which would satisfy them, such as killing the knights who were trying to sack this village.

In any event, it would be better if future actions were taken for a high-sounding reason. That also meant they might have to do things they did not like, but that could not be helped.

Those thoughts of Momonga leaded to an- obvious- question.

Why were they here?

At first many theories appeared in their heads... but the last theory of Etherea was the most interesting one.

If one readed the poems and sagas of the Norse Mythology, there was a part of the Ragnarök that said that the last remaining humans survive the end of the realms by hiding out in the World Tree and then re-emerging. And her conclusion was that this happened on a large scale with the digital realm of YGGDRASIL: that it's inhabitants were saved- at least partially- by being absorbed by the YGGDRASIL then being transported to the New World through it.

This was the worst case escenario. Why?, simple, if her theory was true then they would have to fight against ALL the players that had stayed at the end of YGGDRASIL, the most probably they would have to fight against many players with their WHOLE guilds or even some high-ranked players, or even worse, against the WHOLE Seraph, the First Ranked Guild... Momonga comforted himself saying that maybe they were transported because of their WCI and that only players with WCI could come to this New World... or so he hoped. Even if that was the case, they were extremely fucked as they still had to fight many guild and High Ranked players.

Etherea suggested that they should have a little bit of faith with the creations of their friends and give them WCI to have some help against the future menaces... and after a little debate, Etherea's idea was approved by Momonga.

Going to the next topic to try to calm themselves, Etherea she told him about a very interesting thing: Talents.

A talent was a kind of innate ability that 1 in 200 people or so she had heared someone talking about that with another one of her abilities, it seemed pretty familiar like in the real world that there were people with photographic memory or some things like that.

A talent, for what she is an innate ability among abilities a person is born with in the New World. While a talent used by people differed in ability-wise, it is not something unique for just one person when it's possible for two individuals to possess the same kind. However, talent is by no means related to a normal talent whatsoever. In which cases, one with the Talent of strengthening magic power might have no gift in magic itself. In this case, Talent is completely useless for those, who are not magic casters, but regular people.

In other words, this means that a talent sometimes doesn't match the natures of the holders. For example, if someone is born with the talent to boost the destructive power of spells but doesn't have the inclination, ability, or physical strength necessary to become a magic caster, then they can't make good use of it. As such, most people do not really think of talent as an important ability. Though it would be consider a lucky chance if one had the right talent that could matched or serve a purpose with one's job.

Of course, there exists exceptional and rare talents with very powerful effects, such as innate talent that enables one to freely use any magic artifact, but are usually restricted to people of certain level or conditions. Natural talents could sometimes also be serve as a person's trump card. Apparently, this was even more so for people with combat-applicable talents who tended to go into the adventuring profession and work as adventurers. For that reason, such talent is considered dangerous and secretive among magic casters like Evileye to openly talk about since it is their ace in the hole.

Etherea had heared about two specific individuals in the nearest city that she found and where she heared this information- this city was called E-Rantel a fortress city of Re-Estize Kingdom situated at the border between the Baharuth Empire and the Slane Theocracy, it was so named because it was defended by three layers of walls- the first person that she had heared was named...

Ninya a silver ranked adventurer of an Adventurer Team called Swords of Darkness.

Adventurers were people who drove off these monsters, and they counted many peoples with Talents among their number. Apparently, these adventurers had guilds of their own in all the big cities... but a better word to define them was Monster Hunters as they just killed Monsters for money.

According to Etherea's description, Ninya had a brown hair and blue eyes with a face that looked childish, the best looking face of her group. Her skin was pale and wore a leather clothes. Ninya seemed to be like Aura in the fact that even though she was a woman, she dressed up like a man.

Etherea said that her talent was really simple actually, but really useful at least for a person like Ninya, as her innate talent allows her to learn a spell that would normally take eight years in just four years.

But the next person that Etherea mentioned was more dangerous for Nazarick.

His name is Nfirea Bareare, the grandson of a famous herbalist. His talent allows him to use any magic item. Not only can he use scrolls of a different spellcasting system from himself, he can even use items made by the non-human races. Even items restricted to those of royal blood shouldn't be a problem either.

She didn't knew if his talent allowed him to use items like the [Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown] or any kind of WCI but if he could and if he was on the enemy side, he would be a problem... or if he was on their side then he would be a very useful person.

Etherea told him to leave those things for later, after he had heared all the information that she collected, because she had worked extremely hard to learn those things and that she needed some rest after this.

Etherea also said that she didn't wanted to use nor [Omnipresence] nor [Astral Body], when Momonga asked her why was that, she told him that the first spell almost leaved her blind and the second one because she lost track of herself and that she almost didn't returned to her body- Momonga accepted after seeing her crying a LOT... even though those tears seemed to be of a crocodile.

She continued talking about what she had learned about the most powerful country.

Slane Theocracy, this nation was a human nation. It is a religious nation that worships the Six Great Gods and is considered to be the strongest human nation in the region. Their political leaders were the Pontifex Maximus and the Supreme Council and it was controlled by Six Religious Sects and their capital was named Kami Miyako.

This nation promotes the discrimination of non-humans and the supremacy of humanity, it only serves to be a tactic from the higher ups in order to unify all the humans with a common goal and increase their national power. Unlike the common folk, the high officials aren't blinded by xenophobic beliefs and prioritize the survival of humanity. In order to protect humans from the threat of other races, they wanted to bind people together with faith in the "Six Great Gods".

Etherea's theory was that these so called "Six Great Gods" were players, the most obviously reason was that the people of this nation said that these so called "Gods" Tier Magic was introduced by the Six Great Gods into the New World, later gaining more traction and influence thanks to the "Eight Greed Kings"- that also seemed to be players.

The reason why Etherea thought that these "Six Great Gods" or these "Eight Greed Kings" were players was because of their power and what they introduced- mostly the first ones as the latter ones seemed to be idiots that only thought of erasing all kind of lifeforms that weren't human as they just eliminated Demi-human and Heteromorphic Nations leaving all the humans, even more, as they seemed to treat humans very well and that resulted humans to take more control and flock in greater numbers- like Earth games or play things and also that they could use something that was called "The Magic of the Gods" as the ones of the Theocracy called the Super-Tier Magic or so she had heared some Cleric talking about that in their stories.

The other thing that made her think that they were players was the Power Level Standard... The inhabitants from the New World are extremely weak under YGGDRASIL standards.

The graded list of warrior type characters presented by the author suggests the approximate level boundaries of this world. Level 20 or so seemed to be the limit one can reach by sheer effort, Level 30 or so if one had a Talent and their own effort. Those over level 30 are at the rank of "Hero", beings with a unbeatable strength.

According to Etherea's investigation, in the past right before the Eight Greed Kings began their campaign for world domination, the amount of powerful individuals and monsters were far more common with the Dragon Lords being the overall dominant race. The ensuing power struggle diminished, all races including the amount of very powerful individuals and those of great power became even more scarce by the present times.

At the present, there seemed to be also "Strong" individuals like the descendants of the "Six Great Gods" or the remaining Dragon Lords... also there was a story of a "Legendary Vampire" of a group called "The Thirteen Heroes", this heroes defeated this Vampire, that seemed to be at least Level 50- or so it said their story- at the same time, Etherea told Momonga all the stories that she had heared about this group of heroes.

This fact calmed a lot Ainz... even though his sighs of relief seemed to have a little bit of disappointment, obviously, because of the weakness of the inhabitants of this world.

Being one of the oldest established human nations, the Slane Theocracy has a history of six hundred years based on fierce adherence to their country's religion. The doctrine of the Slane Theocracy revolves around the Six Great Gods, who appeared six hundred years ago. While so, the country is divided into six different religious sects, each with its own specialized intelligence agency focusing on one expertise they're skillfully good at.

However, despite being split into different factions, the groups will still cooperate when necessary. Each sect holds respect for the six gods beyond their own, and they all acknowledge the threat of demons and other races in the world. Additionally, Slane Theocracy's civilization was said to be more advanced in technology than any of the neighboring countries that surround it. The Slane Theocracy also has an institutionalized divine magic training system that is comparably on par with the Baharuth Empire arcane magic one. One in which they possess a magic school that focuses on training faith based magic casters.

Right now they seemed to have a war against the Elves the most possibly cause because of them being from another race.

Going to another important thing, she had first told him about a Kingdom more specific the Dwarf Kingdom, founded by one of the "Thirteen Heroes" this nation lies within a mountain range that runs between the Re-Estize Kingdom and the Baharuth Empire called Azerlisia Mountains, this is a Monarchy State, as the rest of the nearby nation.

Etherea said that she was going to tell him all the details later but for now the most important thing was talking about the original magical art used by the dwarves: Runecraft.

Two hundred years ago, Runecraft was the traditional magic art practiced by the dwarves of the Dwarf Kingdom. However, after the "Demon God" Unrest- one could say that this person was like the "Final boss" that the "Thirteen heroes" had to fight- this art became nearly extinct. As time passed, Runecraft further declined into oblivion when younger generations of dwarves chose to abandon its use in favor of the more practical and effective Tier Magic, there were obviously still people that practiced this art... but the most of them were really old and there was only a little few of these... Runesmiths.

Runecraft is the art of inscribing magical letters onto objects. When a rune is carefully engraved on an object, it enchants the object. The amount of magic inscribed in an object depends on time it takes to inscribe a rune. In other words, runes are characters magically imbued with mana. Meanwhile, attempting to carve runes and enchant an object with both Runecraft and Tier Magic together can also be mutually repulsive. If a powerful magic caster tries an enchantment, the runes will distort.

There are 50 lesser runes, 25 middle runes, 10 upper runes, and 5 top runes, for a total of 90 runes overall. That said, many of them have been lost, and only a few are left. Exactly how many secret and divine-class runes there are is the stuff of legends. According to the dwarven runesmiths, it is not possible to carve runes and place enchantments on the same object. Runes are characters imbued with mana. Thus carved runes and enchantments are mutually repulsive.

Runes apparently were abandoned by the dwarves due to several disadvantages. Compared to Tier Magic, which could enchant an item in a near instant, runes require time, thus using it in full production is not cost-effective. In addition, only runesmiths are able to create and utilize runes, and the number of dwarves capable of becoming runesmiths is said to be even less than those capable of becoming magic casters. However, runes possess advantages not found in the Tier Magic system, one of them being that runes hardly require any material cost.

The origins of runecraft are lost to the surviving runesmiths, however, Etherea theorizes that runecraft may have originated from YGGDRASIL, and that perhaps the runecraft system was never discovered by players due to its obscurity and machinations of the developers or, if it had, it was a well guarded secret and monopolized by a select few.

Right now, the few runesmiths of the Dwarf Kingdom that are still alive stated that a total number of six runes were the largest number to have been successfully embedded into a single weapon during its peak of the craft. In the present, even the most skilled of the current generation of runesmiths could only achieve carving in four runes.

Etherea managed to get this information after she had asked one with the body of a dwarf child and asked one... well she asked almost all the old Runesmiths but just when she was going to give up a kind and enthusiastic dwarf asked her- well the kid- why did the kid wanted to know about runes and then she answered that she was just curious, the his enthusiastic personality made presence, he started talking about all the thing previously mentioned, and just when he was going to return to his job she- in the body of the kid- grabbed his arm and told him that she would be in contact with him and then she stopped taking possession of the body of the kid and returned with her investigation- the kid passed out after she leaved the kid's body leaving a really concerned and confused dwarf.

The name of the enthusiastic dwarf was Gondo Firebeard.

After another little debate, they ended on the same conclusion: "We have to monopolize this art." Of course there was a lot more of talking that just only those words but that conclusion was the better summary of their little debate.

Etherea continued telling Momonga what she had learned, but this time she also told him that she was also going to talk about her theory of what had happened to her...

Wild Magic, this magic that seemed to be like ancient or primal magic that has existed in the New World long before the introduction of Tier Magic. It may even perhaps be known as the magic of the soul.

This information was the hardest one to find as nearly nobody had any idea of what Wild Magic even was, but at the end she managed to find a lot of information in a place called Dragon Kingdom, according to the rumors, this human nation was founded by a Dragon Lord and his decendents ruled this kingdom.

The now queen of this kingdom was called Draudillon Oriculus, a- technically- half dragon, that has the power of the Wild Magic. Right now, it seems that the Dragon Kingdom is in a dire financial crisis, due to heavy reliance on foreign military aid to protect their country's borders and the increased expenditure on their military in fending off the invading beastmen.

Wild Magic differs from Tier Magic as instead of mana, it requires the caster to release souls in the casting of a powerful spell. Although the cost of spell casting via Wild Magic is grisly, the results speak for themselves; the more people are offered up as sacrifices, the stronger the magic when released. Using Wild Magic can also destroy the user's link to their own soul as well, making the casting of stronger magic a risky gamble in and of itself. According to some rumors with the power of Wild Magic, one could create an explosion that could closely rival an ultimate attack of the strongest Dragon Lord, that seemed to live even before the age of the "Eight Greed Kings", so the probability of him being extremely strong was very high.

This fact scared a little bit Momonga, the posibility that this Dragon Lord was at the level of the guardians was very low... but it was a posibility, they couldn't risk themselves to fight against that Dragon, the best way... was the diplomatic way, if they became friends of him or her then they would gain a extremely good ally.

But then a thought ran through his head, a thought that didn't stayed quiet.

...

"Etherea-san, Are you implying that you have this... ummm?"

"Wild Magic... well, check this..."

Etherea pulled out from the nothingness... a travel backpack and katana. Momonga got close to his friend while Etherea opened the backpack and, at the same time, she was holding the sword with her tail. And after she opened the backpack, she threw it's content in front of Momonga, and when he looked at the ground he saw... rings, earrings, bracelets and collars, all of them looked extremely expensive and seemed to be made of gold or silver with beautiful gems embedded on them, Momonga grabed one of the rings and used [All Appraisal Magic Item].

"Wh-what is this?!"

"I know, I didn't expected this created items to be... this powerful."

It was really true, if he would measure the classification of this item it would be, at least, a DCI.

The name that his friend putted to this item was [Unlimited]. This ring seemed to be made of "roots" of pure gold that ended in a blood red gem- the "roots" seemed to wrap strongly the gem- of medium size that resembled A LOT to the eye of a demon.

The shock of Momonga came after he saw the advantages of using this item, more specific, after reading two line of the whole text:

This item can increase 10 levels of experience of the user while all the user's stats are increased in a 25%

Momonga let out a tired sigh escape from his mouth as his strength abandoned him as he let escape the ring from his hand... the impact of seeing the power of the Wild Magic was greater than he expected it to be.

He also wondered what would happen if he equiped himself that item, after all, he was a level 100 and it was imposible that you could go further... but if these definition was correct then he will have over 1000 points in his stats as he had in total 825 points in his stats with his Divine Class Stats, mostly of them in his mana points, being the one in the whole guild with the largest mana pool.

Momonga wanted to check his theory, looking at his only skeletal finger that didn't had a ring, he slowly and with his trembling hand, putted in his finger the powerful item... his theory was true, the power that he felt... it was almost indescribable.

"E-Etherea-san, Ho-how can you be able of using this kind of ma-magic?"

This question came as he thought of all the possible anwers that could be the actual answer, after all, such thing as Wild Magic didn't existed in YGGDRASIL- nor Dragonoids nor DragonKins nor Dragons had this kind of magic- there were similar spells and jobs to the Wild Magic in the fact of sacrificing souls in exchange of something but they were never... THIS powerful.

Momonga became more scared when he thought of the posibility of the strongest Dragon Lord been of the same power as a World Class Menace.

"I don't know why but after I learned enough details about Wild Magic, I returned as fast as posible to Nazarick- and after a few hours of trying to return to my body- when I returned I tried to create something using the power of my soul and some other things that I cannot recall pretty well as my usage of the Wild Magic was more... instinctive and... well, you have it in front of you, most of these Items has a- kinda- similar power to this ring in different ways but they are all powerful, I think that I used like... a million of souls or so in each one, but among my greatest and strongest items- like the one that you holded in your hand- that i made with Wild Magic, and in what I spended like... a billion of souls or so, is... this katana."

The katana, that she was talking about- and the one that she previously holded with her tail and was now holding it with her both hands, one on the blade of the sword and the other one on the grip, while it's sheath was still on her tail- at first Momonga was unsure of what he would see and, hesitant, he got close his hand to the grip of the katana.

This katana was definitely larger than normal katanas, reaching to a heigh of 6 feets, it's grip seemed to be made of pure darkness, it didn't had a guard and it's blade seemed to be of the same starry night that it was above their heads, it also emited a freezing aura that seemed to reach a temperature of minus 0 ºC, aside from those facts, it seemed like any other katana.

Momonga held the katana horizontally to the sky, if it would not be for the grip and the bandages that covered the 20 centimeters after the grip, he would have swored that it was a physical form of this starry night.

After contemplate it's blade for 5 more seconds he analized the Item and:

"[Highway Star]... I see, an incredible piece of art and power, as expected of you, Etherea-san."

"... That's all what you are going to say?"

"N-no, it's just that... I don't even have word to describe it. How does it exactly works it's-, umu?!"

While Momonga was examinating the sword, at one moment, he pinted the blad to the ground and, somehow, used a tiny fraction of it's power.

The point of the blade seemed to convert intself into something similar to a window at a very low temperature, and then, a freezing gust of wind came out, converting into ice a part of the wall.

Momonga dropped the katana at this sudden event- while the katana was at half way through, the power of the katana stopped appearing while it's blade returned back to normal.

"I hope that nobody saw that."

Mumbled Momonga.

And after some seconds, he got close to the katana, and when his hand got really close to the grip, he hesitated for a moment but quickly regained his composture and grabbed the katana, that was as light as a feather. Momonga looked at it for 3 second befor grabing it firmly with both hands, Momonga slowly took a fighting stance, and then-

A loud sound of metallic clanging ran through the room. The katana he had been holding a moment ago was now on the ground.

Momonga looked at the ground and then at his empty hands.

Momonga shook his head and decided not to think about it. After all, he would not be able to find the answer no matter how much he pondered.

"... It seems that you are right, Etherea-san, some of the rules of YGGDRASIL still have effect on us."

"See, I hadn't checked a lot on other things but I will later do it."

Then a familiar voice called the both players with serious concern on his voice.

"Momonga-sama, Etherea-sama, I'm sorry if I bother you but may I ask what are you doing here without guards?"

Momonga and Etherea turned to the source of the voices... it was Demiurge, that didn't seemed quite pleased at seeing Etherea and Momonga in this place.

"Etherea-sama, we had been looking for you in every single floor- except for the eighth floor as it was forbidden to enter by the word of Momonga-sama- but you were nowhere to see."

"I'm sorry to have troubled you all of you, but as we are in an emergency situation I couldn't just stay still whiout having information of this New World, and as Momo-chan told me, I started researching about all the things that I could in this world. Didn't you, Momo-chan?"

"I-Indeed I did."

"... I see, I'm terribly sorry if the word that I'm about to say are insulting for you but wouldn't had been better to send some underlings to scout the surroundings, it was too risky to go all by your own to investigate."

"Once again, I apologize for have troubled or worried any of you but seeing how you worked so hard made us feel bad for leaving everything to you all."

"What are you saying, Etherea-sama? We are all the creations of the Supreme Beings, serving the lasts Supreme Beings is our complete joy."

A smile appeared on Demiurge's face as he said these words. It was a gentle look that seemed completely out of place on a devil's face. Demiurge got close to the katana that Momonga had dropped just moments ago and grabbed it from the ground, he got close to Momonga and, like a servant to his lord, Demiurge offered the katana to Momonga.

"Here is your weapon, Momonga-sama."

Momonga kindly received the katana and then said:

"I thank you, Demiurge."

"It was truly nothing, Momonga-sama, as I said I'm just another servant of the Supreme Beings and doing things like this is not a problem for me."

"I see."

Demiuge looked to the jewelry on the floor and feeling the power that emited those jewels and the sword, he said:

"Etherea-sama, May I ask, What are those?"

"Oh! These little things are something that I recently created with my new found power, speaking of which, Momo-chan, Do you remmember that spell of mine, [Mana Crystal]?"

[Mana Crystal] a supportive racial spell of tier 10, this spell was able to create a big crystal made of pure mana from the user, this crystal regenerated the mana of the allies and empowered their magic attack and defense.

"Yes, I remmember, after all, that spell helped us multiple times in the past."

"Well, before I started with my investigation I went to my room and used that spell to see if it stayed more than 5 minutes, like in YGGDRASIL, I waited in there until the limit time passed and then, after 5 more minutes, I leaved my room and when I returned- after I discovered the Wild Magic- I still founded it there, but that is not the best part, what it was truly amazing was the thing that I checked, you see, after creating a lot of Items with Wild Magic, I felt that my "fuel" was running out so i decided to use this spell but this time with Wild Magic... the result was wonderful, using the last billions of souls that I still had I created a crystal made of the "fuel" of the Wild Magic, the process is slow but as the crystal seems to have a REALLY extensive distance limit I'm, little by little, having my full reserves once again in like... 10 year or so, if I don't use Wild Magic again."

"I see, that's really amazing, Etherea-san! But I have a question, Does the effect is increased when you're close to the crystal?"

"Indeed it does, but I wanted to get used to my complete senses before we do something important... Changing of topic... Don't you think that this sight is beautiful, Momo-chan, Demiurge?"

"Beautiful would not begin to describe this… What do you think Blue Planet-san would say if he were here?"

"He would have probably started screaming like a little girl on her birthday... after all, he always loved nature."

"Indeed, he would...To think one could see so far just by the light of the moon and the stars… it's hard to believe that this world is real... this world is like a chest of jewels."

"Perhaps it is. I believe the beauty of this world exists to adorn you two, Momonga-sama, Etherea-sama." Demiurge said in a reverent voice.

"Indeed, it is beautiful. You say these stars exist to adorn me… perhaps that is so. Perhaps the reason that I have come here is to claim this chest of jewels which belongs to nobody else... No, this is not something We can claim for ourselfs. Perhaps these jewels are meant to adorn the Great Tomb of Nazarick; myself, and my friends from Ainz Ooal Gown."

"...What a moving statement. If is your wish, then by your command, I shall lead Nazarick's forces to claim this chest of jewels. I, Demiurge would like nothing more than to present this chest of jewels to my lords and masters, Momonga-sama, Etherea-sama."

Those cheesy lines made the both chuckle. Momonga wondered if Demiurge had been intoxicated by the atmosphere as well.

"As long as we do not know anything about the beings which live in this world, I can only say that your idea is foolish. For all we know, we might be minuscule weaklings in this world. However, conquering this world might be quite interesting."

Etherea looked at Momonga, completely dumbfounded for what his friend had just said, and then she just sighed, considerating that those words were a mocking from him for having said thos word before... but not everyone took those words as a joke.

"Momonga-sama, May I ask what's your plan to conquer this world?"

Momonga and Etherea looked at Demiurge with no expression.

'I screwed it up! He sounds so fucking serious and excited about what I just said. Should I say that it was just a joke?, I thought that Demiurge, as he is the wisest mind in Nazarick, would understand that taking over the world was just a child's joke... No, If I do that then Demiurge would probably consider me as a bad leader, I personally saw how when a boss hesitated a lot in their actions or they retracted of their words were usually quickly fired. What should I do?!'

Momonga's thoughts raced as fast as they could... but seeing no more escape he said:

"I was about to discuss those matters with Etherea right now."

' Shit! I screw it even more!'

'What the hell are you doing, you idiot?!'

"I see, Momonga-sama! I'm sorry for this selfish ask but, Could I also hear your plans? I would like to inform the other guardians of your great plans and to see if I'm truly worth of being your servant, even thought considerating beings as you both, it is obvious that you have everything prepared and you two will just compare your ideas to see which one of them is the fastest way to conquer the world."

Etherea and Momonga could swear that they could feel cold sweat on their bodies, even thought just one of them could sweat, and seeing her sewating made Demiurge ask:

"Is something wrong, Etherea-sama?"

"...N-no, it's just that... I'm ashamed because I only have planned our first steps."

'What I'm even saying? I don't even have a single idea where to begin with.'

"Well, considerating how wise you are, Etherea-sama, I think that the first steps that you had planned for Nazarick will be magnificent!."

"Ye-yeah, haha..." Etherea laughed awkwardly of the words of Demiurge and before he or Momonga would say another thing or they- herself and Momonga- would say something dumb, she said "But before we tell you our plans we have to tell you about what we now of this world until now."

"I was also going to ask you, Etherea-sama, about this world but I didn't found a proper moment to ask."

"Okay, well I think that we should start with..."

- And then Etherea proceeded to inform Demiurge of all the information that she got- This time she added more details of all the information that she got and she finished speaking of all the things that she knew of the strongest nearby nation- when she finished, Demiurge said:

"Such arrogance of those pitiful and dumb worms thinking themselves as superiors just for being as much as a large plague instead of reconizing how weak they actually are... my deepest apologies, my lords, for speaking without permission, is just that hearing that those weaklings think themselves as superiors makes me feel disgusted."

"I-It's okay, Demiurge..." Even though those words felt like a sword on their chests, they didn't said a word of defense to their previous race- even if they don't want to admit it, deeply inside of them they reconized that the normal humas were weak as a race comparing them to the other races... but still.

"Demiurge... I would like that you would stop refering the weak-... the humans as worms, as I had wanted to have humans on our future nation."

"Understood, Momonga-sama, I will do my best effort."

"Well, now that we said that... Etherea, Could you please tell us your plan? I would tell my plan here but I don't feel that is completely perfected and I would have a bitter taste in my mouth if I tell you both my unfinished plan."

'You traitor! How am I supposed to save us from this situation?!'

"Ara ara, that is so unlike you, Momonga, after all, you are one of the greatest strategists of the whole guild... but if that is what you wnat... firstly I would like to start with our first encounter with the natives of this New World, our best option would be taking into out ranks the Three Monsters that rule over the nearby forest, the Great Forest of Tob. I know what will you want to say, Demiurge-kun, but we cannot just go and use our strenght freely to conquer this whole world, the reason is because... that would be pretty boring and too brutish so we could start interacting with them peacefully to see if they cooperate with us but if they don't we could use other methods, but as now we don't have a complete nation we have no other choice but to act like brutes to start our plans."

Obviously, Momonga knew the real reason, they couldn't risk themselves to act like they acted in YGGDRASIL, this was real life and there were consequences for every single one of their actions, they had to think carefully their steps, because if they didn't... everything would go to hell, maybe it was the human part inside of them but they didn't wanted for this world to feel all the evil of their creations, considerating that they were all time bombs that could wipeout all the life if they wanted.

"Which one of those leader do you suggest that we should start interacting with, Etherea-san?"

"Well, we could start with the Giant of the East- don't make his name fool you- he is no giant, he is just a gigantic, muscular troll. But he is not normal troll, among the diverse variety of trolls, Guu could be classified as 'War Troll', a very special mutant adapted to the battle itself. This made him as the ruler of the Eastern Forest, with numerous monsters under his command. I would like to personally meet him."

"May I ask why, Etherea-san?"

"You see, Guu and his underlings have a believing that the ones with short names are the strongest ones, so it's easy to conclude that for them physical power is all what it matters at the end, so- even though you have an extreme physical power due to you being someone of max level, Momo-chan - if they see that their strengh is like an ant in comparation to mine they would blindy follow us... obviously he cannot be considered as an ally when he finally accept us as their leaders, he would be more like a underling than an ally, so I wnated to meet him before I put him into the care of one of my babys... I think that Hercule would be the best one for making them into acceptables underlings for Nazarick."

The image of Hercule appeared on the mind of Momonga, Hercule, an area guardian of the Second Floor of Nazarick, his area was called Death Prison, like it's name suggested it was a dark prison lighted by lava while dead bodies were hanged on the ceiling.

Hercule was an Helionite Golem of 8 feet in height, a golem created from one of the Seven Prismatic Ores, Helionite- the sun ore- he was specialized in being a brawler and a berserk of level 80. His skin looked a lot to coal, his skin had some "Cracks" and in those "Cracks" someone could swear that it was lava on them, his eyes were covered by a silver bandage while his head was covered by a roman-like helmet.

His attire was very poor being very alike to the attire of the spartan warriors, his hands were covered by silver gaunlets with the shape of the head of a lion, these gaunlets were called [Champion] and they were LCI.

"I see, we would have to see who will take his place of protecting his area in the future."

"Indeed, as for you, Guild Master, while I am... "Domesticating" Guu, I think that you shoull meet the Serpent of the West, and if you're going to ask why you have to go and negotiate with him well... he seems to be very intelligent and it would be a great... pratice for you."

"I will try my best, but does he have many subordinates like that Guu, and also, Does some bosses in YGGDRASIL had appeared in this world too? and I will have to talk with a descendant of Jörmundgander or himself."

"Haha, pretty funny, but no, this Serpent is not actually a serpent, he is an old Naga, his full name is Ryraryus Spenia Ai Indarunm abd yesm he has many underlings on his care, most of them are his descendants but there are also some other races under his command."

"Okay, but about the third one-"

"Oh, right! The Wise King of the Forest... pffftt, more like Wise King of the Hamsters."

"Wise King of the... Hamsters?"

"You see, Demiurge-kun, this Wise King is- literally- a Giant Hamster that can use magic thanks to eight sigils around her body, each one of them allows her to use a different spell, she doesn't have a name so she answer to her tittle, also she protects her territory alone, I would measure her in a level of... 30, at least, even though it's not much she is as strong as some Area Guardians, so she and the rest of the Three Monsters- that are around her level- are at an acceptable level for being under our military ranks and with them under our control we would have the complete control of the Great Forest of Tob, and with that we would have a better access to the Azerlisia Mountains... any of ourselves can talk with her, it actually doesn't matter.

Among other things, in the north territory of this forest there is a strong and evil treant, his name seems to be Zy'tl Q'ae, he is a a monster that easily dwarfs Gargantua-kun. It is a giant tree that stands almost 100 meters in height, with six branching tentacles that extend to the length of over 300 meters. Decorating the top of its head, a patch of green-like moss grows. And in the middle of its great trunk lies a gaping cavernous maw with sharp teeth. It seems that the evil treant had been siphoning all the life force from the area in order to prepare for its awakening."

"Hummm... this evil treant, what level would you put to it?"

"... It's really hard to say... I just know that he is extremely strong."

"That doesn't help a lot, actually."

"I know, I know, but it seems that only once in the past it- more specifically a piece of it's body, had awekened and a group of 7 adventurers defeated him... we would have to test his strengh later but it's for the best to keep an eye on him... Anyway, as for where to stablish our new nation... there is an area of wilderness with vast hills that lies right between the borders of the Slane Theocracy and the Roble Holy Kingdom.

This area is called Abelion Hills, in the past, this area was once home to a kingdom of hill dwarfs, but it was later destroyed by demi-humans. Currently, it is a lawless area where a myriad of demi-human tribes fight day and night for control. The constant warfare and dangers these demi-human races produce is so troubling that the Roble Holy Kingdom constructed the largest and longest wall barrier on the continent to keep them out. The Slane Theocracy have made numerous attempts to subjugate and cleanse the area, but so far its efforts have only managed to temporarily thin the demi-human population. In the past, the Adventurer's Guild of the Re-Estize Kingdom had sent people there, but none have ever returned in one piece. As a result the area is completely unknown terrain to the kingdom's citizen.

One of the most influential demi-humans to come from this land is Buser, also known as the King of the Demi-humans. Buser is a Bafolk famed for his strength as he managed to united all of the Bafolk tribes under him as well as conquering many other demi-human tribes in the region.

There are all kinds of demi-humans in the hill region, yet they did not have good relationships with each other. Rather, they often fought over territory, and apart from cases where Ogres took Goblins as slaves and cruelly used them, these races very rarely worked with each other. And also when some demi-humans see humans in their territory well... if they eat them they slave them... as the mostly of them have the same thought of the strengh is all that matters- at least mostly of them- we cannot negotiate with most of them so we have to go with the brutish way, we have to conquer them... and after we conquer that place, I would like to... do some experiments on the human slaves."

Two red orbs flared in the empty sockets of Momonga giving her an imperceptible questioning gaze, while Demiurge had an excited look on his face.

"Etherea-sama, May I ask what kind of experiments do you want to do on them?"

"Oh! I have in total four reasons, Demiurge-kun.

The first one is rather simple, you see, in YGGDRASIL, once you changed your race you couldn't go back to your previous race or to change to another race- obviously, there were some cash items that eliminated that or that made you change from your race to only one other race- so I wanted to test if that restriction was eliminated by coming to these New World.

The second reason is that I want to see how does genetic exactly work in this world, if Demi-Human races can procreate with other races and have kids with another race, an example of that could be an hybrib between an Orc and a Human, or if that is not the case we can find a way to do so.

The third reason is to test something that worked in YGGDRASIL; you see, in YGGDRASIL, for one to unlock a Higher Racial Level one must use an specific item- like the [Soul of Hel] in Overlord's case or the [Odin's Blood] in my race case, so I wanted to test if the humans or other races of this world could be... hummm, I think the right word in this case would be superior.

And the final reason is that I also I wanted to check if some of our alchemist could make a potion that could replace the usage of some specific items to change of race or to go to a higher racial level."

Etherea looked at Momonga, that was also looking at her and opened slightly her visible eye. Momonga finally undestood her intentions with her unspoken words... That was the plan! The plan if the Guardians or the whole Nazarick went against them... but if that never happened then they would be the soldiers of their army against possible future aggressives players.

"Oh! Such compassion and kindness from you, my mistress! I, Demiurge, will try to help you in anything that I can!"

Etherea and Momonga smiled at the word of Demiurge, that was giving a reverence to the both... Who were they even kidding, it was almost impossible that they would betray them.

"Enough of that, Demiurge."

"Understood... but Momonga-sama, Etherea-sama, What will be the name of your new nation?"

"... That would be a matter of discussion for later I think, Demiurge, as I would like to ask every single guardian for their suggestions for our new nation... but firstly I would like to ask you both your suggestion."

"If you excuse me, Etherea-sama, I think that the best name for this nation- in honor of your intellect, Momonga-sama, Etherea-sama- I propose the Wise Kingdom."

"I-I see, Demiurge... khm-, Etherea-san, Do you have a suggestion?"

Momonga directed his gaze to his friend that seemed to be analyzing something, she sighed before saying:

"Well, I'm sorry but I don't have an idea of which name should I suggest as all the names that I had thought about leave me a bitter taste on me... I will suggest one when I have a good idea."

"Okay, Etherea-san... humm, as you were telling us to have a lot of Demi-Human races and some humans, why not to create a nation with all the races of this world, where they can live peacefully and prosper under our domain... our Utopia."

"Momonga-sama, Etherea-sama, your kindness truly has no limits, one couldn't ask for better masters."

"I-I appreciate your praise... Well as we want to have all the races in our nation. Wouldn't it be better to save the elves and the Demi-Humans slaves there in the Slane Theocracy, after all, if we gave them something that they had long lost they would quickly accept us as their leaders, especially the elves since- from your description of their king- he seems to be a bastard that doesn't care a thing for his own race, for the reason that he sends the kids and the elders to fight against the enemies of their nation."

"That sounds nice, let's see... I will send some of my babies, that are ninjas or assassins, and also some Eight Edge Assassins to help them."

"Okay, that would work, also, Demiurge, Could you inform everyone to treat all the races that are under our domain kindly?"

"I understand, Momonga-sama, I will try to treat them with the same kindness that you two had given to us."

"Okay, as for who will be the one that will conquer this area for us, Bellona would obviously be the most fitting one to conquer these lands. So please, after this, inform her of the paper that she will do on this."

"I will do, Momonga-sama."

"Well, next thing would be... the most interesting humans that I had heared about and, among them, two are the ones that would be the most useful...

The first one is the refered as the highest-tiered magic caster in the Empire's history, the Imperial Court Wizard, the great sage known as the "Triple Magic Caster", Fluder Paradyne, he is the Imperial Court Wizard of the Baharuth Empire and the one who rules this Empire is called the Bloody Emperor, his name is Jircniv Rune Farlord El Nix.

He is also a talent holder, Fluder's natural Talent was the ability to see the auras around arcane magic casters, and thus the tier of spells they could use.

Fluder is an elderly man of short stature, possessing a long well-cared white beard, with a head full of snow white hair. His age is shown on his face as wrinkles. While Fluder is mostly seen wearing a soft loose white robe, he also has on his neck a necklace made with numerous crystal orbs. Decorated with his fingers are numerous magical rings.

He is a very polite fellow that can use the highest tier magic that the humanity or any race- that I had heared about- can use, 6th Tier magic, even though is not very impressive for the standarts of Nazarick, he is a very impressive sorcerer for the standarts of this world... I know what you two are thinking, but I think that he is a very useful individual."

"Is that human truly worthy of your praise, Etherea-sam?"

"I just want to give him the deserving recognition that he deserves as he had managed to reach a level that any normal human has acquired on his own, as well as someone that has been able to been able to sense me completely- in this world- while I was using [Astral Body], also another interesting thing is that he had been able to modify and create some spells, and the most important thing is that he had given me a lot of information."

"Create new spells you say... hmm, I see, then he is actually a useful person. Wait, you said that he sensed you, so he saw you on your [Astral Body]. What did you do to him after he saw you?"

"Well..."

...

---

...

Fluder let out a trembling sigh, after that he started to check on his surrounding- the Imperial Garden- there was no one on this beautiful sight, then: Where did it came this powerful presence?

This time was usually his relax time- that he would normally spend on trying to learn more spells or teaching his students a little bit more- but now, he was using his free time for a true relax, he didn't expecte to feel a presence this powerful while he was relaxing or while he was existing.

He kept searching for that powerful presence... until he saw it... or rather her, Fluder saw the figure of a woman, a woman of indescribable beauty, flotating in the air- completely naked but her... private parts were completely unable to see for anyone- he whole body seemed to be made of pure mana as if she were-

"A goddess."

Those were the words that unconsiously leaved the mouth of the old sorcerer.

'If that is the 8th tier… then this is the 9th… no… this really is… oh, gods…'

This power that he felt, it was like an explosion had gone off in his face.

The presence's body radiated a world-shaking wave of power.

His body was not truly being assaulted by a wave of overpressure. This was a surge of might which only someone with Fluder's talents could see.

Fluder could no longer speak, because magic of the 5th tier was the domain of heroes. And the 6th tier which Fluder had reached was terra incognita. And now, someone who had easily gone a tier beyond had suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Fluder rose to his feet, then knelt before the presence, tears streaming from his eyes

"...In the past, I believed in a lesser deity who governed magic. However, if you are not that god, then I shall promptly renounce my faith. That is because the true god has deigned to appear before me."

The woman kept quiet for some few seconds and after Fluder raised his head... she gave him a smile, the most beautiful smile that he had seen form a woman and then her lips formed two words:

FOLLOW ME

And then she quickly flotated through one of the passages of the garden, Fluder got up and followed her while he said:

"Wa-wait!"

He started following her again and when he found he agains she formed more words with her lips:

OVER HERE

"Wait! What is your name, my goddess?!"

This continued for like it felt days for the old man, but in reality it had just passed 10 minutes.

His now loudly palpitating head and heart didn't bothered to him, or rather, he didn't wanted to pay attention to his body pleas to rest, his whole body was hot while on it runned his sweat trying to cool him down... then he finally reached the place that- unaware for him- the woman wanted to use for their meeting.

The center of the Imperial Garden, this place was an small lake with a water of green tonality, on the surface there were a lot of flotating plants of beautiful colors, while in the centerof the small lake there was a beautiful three of pink petals. The woman was sitted in one of the branches of the tree.

Fluder didn't bothered to admire the beautiful view, his eyes were just looked on one thing, the powerful prescence, the beautiful woman.

Fluder started to shorten the distance with the woman at a slow pace, that seemed to be humming a melodious song, and when he got at the base of the three he gave a deep reverence with his head, almost toaching the ground and then the woman said:

"You asked before my name, right? Well, my name is Ethereal Diamond, you may raise your head now, human, and when you do tell me your name."

Fluder did as ordered:

"M-my name is Fluder Paradyne, my goddess."

"I see, Fluder-kun, it's extremely impressive to see someone that has been able to detect me in [Astral Body]."

Fluder looked impressed to his new goddess, as he hadn't heared of an spell called like that... maybe an spell of tier superior than the 6th tier. An excited look could be seen on the face of the old sorcerer and the he said:

"I know this is extremely rude, but I beg a favor of you, upon my hands and knees! Please, bestow your teachings upon me! I wish to glimpse the abyss of magic! I beg you! I beg you!"

"—And what sort of price are you willing to pay for that?"

That voice was as cold as an iceberg. Fully a hundred out of a hundred would describe it that way; yet to Fluder's ears, it was a sweet and pleasant voice that set his heart aflutter. Of course, he knew of the venom concealed within those words. Still — what of it?-

Fluder did not hesitate for even a moment. He was willing to pay the price. He was willing to hand over his soul.

"Everything! Yes, I will pledge everything I have to you! O Great Mistress of Power! O unfathomable one! O Mistress of the Abyss!"

"...Very well. If you are willing to give me everything, then my knowledge shall be yours. I shall grant your wish."

"Ohhh! Ohhhhh!"

Fluder ground his forehead into the floor as he shed tears of joy. His heart, frozen and stiff from jealousy, had melted. After waiting over 200 years, he had finally obtained a chance to fulfil the wish he had held for so long. The utterly excited Fluder kept his forehead touched to the floor.

"That's enough, I understand your loyalty."

"Ohhh! Thank you!... My Mistress!"

"Then... as you had swored loyalty to me... I have to give you three little presents for now."

You see, when someone was in [Astral Body]- being [Astral Body] a 9th tier spell- someone could actually use spells while using this spell, there were obviously drawbacks, like not being able to cause physical damage, the user had a quarter of his life in this form and the damage caused to the user was gave to the original body with duplicated damage.

The woman touched the log of the treem then Fluder saw how the tree was imbued on a sacred golden light, Fluder covered his eyes from the light and when he looked again at the tree... it had changed completely, as well as the rest of the lake and the nearest surroundings.

The wood of the tree was now of a pure white color while the leaves seemed to be made of pure gold, some of the "cracks" of the tree seemed to leak a , barely seen, blue light.

Then Fluder looked at the ground, the grass was now from a golden color while at the same time some flowers of different colors had appeared, all of them extremely beautiful, then the old man looked at the lake... the flotating plants were from the same golden as the grass of the ground or the leaves of the tree but they still conserved the pink flower of the top while the water of the lake was from the same color scheme as a rainbow, Fluder got close to the lake and kneeled to the waters.

"The spell that I had just used is a spell of my race called [Utopia], this spell alows the user to summon a land of great beauty where the user and his allies have their magical power increased while they regenerate their life and mana and at the same time their mana pool is increased while they're stepping on these lands... you seem to be rather tired, Fluder, have a drink of the waters, don't worry, they will not harm you."

Fluder obeyed the words of his goddess without a second thought- and, as he dinked the waters, the color of the lake changed from it's multicolor waters to a beautiful crystal water that reflected the clear sky and emited a blue radiance... but the waters was not the only thing that changed, when Fluder finished drinking the waters, he grabbed strongly his belly.

'This feeling!... it's like the water that I just drank it's burning my internal organs!'

This pain kepr for like it felt hour, but in reality it had just been 10 seconds. And when the pain stopped, Fluder felt... different, he looked at himself using the clear water of the lake as a mirror.

"This-!"

His white hair, his wrinkles all of them... gone, instead of the old man there was now a handsome young man with long caramel hair- his beard had also "dissapeared" from his face- who seemed to have like 19 years.

The loud sound of the moving metal became louder and louder as he still admired his now young self. And when two armored knights appeared in the center- after they admired for some seconds the view- they noted the young man with caramel hair in front of them and one quickly said:

"You, you had trespassed the garden that only the emperor and his closest people can be at! State your name before we execute you right in this place!"

Etherea quickly whispered something at the ear and, after whispering an "Understood", he said:

"You fool, I'm Fluder Paradyne."

Etherea facepalmed herself at his back as one of the knights said:

"You liar! You don't look like anything that we remmember of Fluder-sama, now DIE!"

As the knight became closer and closer to the now young Fluder, the last one said:

"I see, so you don't believe me, maybe this will help you believe me, [Dragon Lightning]"

A dragon-shaped bolt of white electricity crackled around Fluder's arms and shoulders. The bolt flared brightly as it instantly surged out at the knight Fluder was pointing at.

There was no way to avoid it or defend against it.

The knight who had been electrocuted by the dragon-shaped lightning bolt shone brilliantly for an instant. Miserable as his death was, it was still a beautiful sight. The light in his eyes faded, and the knight collapsed to the ground like a puppet whose strings had been cut. The body beneath the armor was charred black and gave off a vile stench.

The other knight stayed on his place while cold sweat started to surface; as a knight whose job was to keep close the imperial wizard to help him in anything that he wanted, he knew some of the highest spells that Fluder could use due to his curiosity... and he reconized that spell.

"N-no way, Flu-Fluder-sama, Is it truly you?"

"Finally, one of you two reconized me!"

"B-but..."

Etherea knew what the guard was going to ask- as it was the most obvious thing- and told Fluder what happened- or at least what she thought that had happened to him.

"You will probably ask, 'Why am I this young again? if you both have items that make you both see through ilusions'... that is not of your business! Now go to inform the Emperor to meet me at the place that we held the Death Knight."

"O-okay... b-but..."

Fluder looked at the dead knight as his goddess whispered what he had to do, Fluder pinted his open palm to the corpse and-

He revived.

A green light covered the dead body and the guard got up from the ground like if he had woke up from a bad dream.

"Now, go quickly and tell him what I told you inmediatly!"

The knight that reconized Fluder didn't stopped a second to process what had just happened as he got quickly to the side of his revived and confused friend as he said:

"We-we will do it right away, sir!"

And when Fluder felt that they were far away enough, he said to Etherea:

"My goddess, was it truly worthy of him to be revived by yourself."

"It was no problem actually... but I want to ask you, I anyone capable of using tha kind of divine magic like me?"

"If you are speaking about people that can revive others, yes they are, but they are extremely rare, but is impossible to revive someone like you did my mistress, normaly someone just revived would had been all tired or maybe disappeared in ashes if the one that had been casted that sort of spell on is weaker to a gold rank adventurer."

'So I hadn't fucked up, at least completely, by reviving that one and it also seems that I can use divine magic without the need of being a religious person."

"Well, as for your second gift... I think that this will work."

And so Etherea began to cast a Super-Tier Spell, while Fluder watched fascinated as a gigantic dome-shaped magic circle appeared around his goddess, extending about five meters away from her.

The magic circle shone a brilliant green, and translucent diagrams of characters and symbols appeared. These images changed ceaselessly, with kaleidoscopic speed, differing from second to second.

She ended her spell saying:

"Super-Tier Spell [Gift of Power]"

[Gift of Power], this spell gaved the selected NPC or summon- and only them, in YGGDRASIL- a boost of 20 levels if they were from a level minor than 50, but it only worked once in a being and could only be used 4 times a day- this spell was the reason that all of her created NPC were form such higher level... unaware for her, in this New World when someone received this spell on them, the limits of their races were completely eliminated making them able to go further in the path of power.

Fluder kept panting as he felt how his strenght gre further and further while he was looking at his trembling hands.

...

"I think that it would be unpolite for you to leave your emperor waiting."

When Fluder got his view up to see the source of that sweet voice, he saw Etherea, that was really close to one of the passages- that coincidently was the one in direction whe he kept the Death Knight.

...

On the way to their destiny, Ethere had asked about a lot of things, about Talents, Martial Arts, important people, politics, spells, Runecraft, Wild Magic...

Etherea looked at the undead in front of them... it was obviously that they were extremely afraid of it, just by looking on the thick chains.

Fluder was in front of it but befor he could do a thing, Etherea said:

"Fluder-kun."

The young wizard looked at his goddess and, at the same time, he looked at the thing that had been thrown at him.

He got two steps in front of himself and he catched the thing that his goddess had given to him, and when he looked at it... it was a collar, a similar collar to the one on his neck- except that the dark red orbs on this collar seemed to be of pure negative energy- and in the center of the collar there was a symbol with the shape of a skull.

"That is something that my friend had given to me, but I had never wanted to use it because I don't like controling undead."

"I-I-"

"Enough of that, do it quickly, I want to see your power."

Fluder gulped loudly while cold sweat begun to surface on his whole body. He looked at his collar and he took it off before throwing it to his side and the he, calmly, putted the new collar on his neck.

If he felt before like a full glass then now he felt like it's power was going to break that glass.

Obeying the words of his master- not without going behind the back of her as he felt that giving her to look his back was really insulting for someone such as his goddess-

Fluder extended his hand straight at the Death Knight

His incantation reverberated through the darkened room, lit by magical light. This was a modified version of [Summon Undead 6th], an original spell penned by Fluder.

"—Obey me."

The spell took effect — Fluder's quiet words flowed out and filled the room.

Then the undead that was trying to get out of his imprisonment like a mad dog suddendly became as quiet as the morning breeze, just being heared his disgusting breath.

The eyes of the Death Knight were still filled with hatred... but something was different... Fluder felt like a connection with that thing.

Tears of joy began to surface:

"I did it!"

"Congratulations, but let's see, say this while focusing on the power of the collar..."

He listened and obeyed the words of his master and said:

"[Create Mid Tier Undead, Death Knight]."

This was one of Momonga's skills that he leaved in this item, which could create various undead. The Death Knight in question was Momonga's favorite undead monster, which he used as a meat shield.

It was roughly level thirty five, but although its attack power was only comparable to a level twenty five monster, its defensive power was very good, equivalent to a level forty monster. That said, monsters of that level were useless to any necromancer for the most part.

However, the Death Knight had two very important skills that made Momonga love to use it as meat shield. One of them was the ability to draw away enemy attacks. The other was that just once, they could survive any attack with one HP. Momonga liked using Death Knights as shields because of these two skills.

In YGGDRASIL, when someone used his skills to create undead, they would appear out of the sky in their summoner's vicinity. However, things seemed different in this world.

A cloud of black fog appeared. The cloud headed straight for the body of the nearest dead knight. The mist slowly expanded, and melded with the knight's body. After that, the knight wobbled before slowly rising to its feet like a zombie.

With a wet, dripping sound, several rills of black ichor oozed out from between the gaps in the knight's helmet. It must have come from the knight's mouth.

The black fluid flowed out without end, until it covered the knight's entire body. It looked like a human being that had been swallowed by a slime. Completely surrounded by the black liquid, the knight's body began to twist and change.

After several seconds, the black liquid fell off the body of what was now a Death Knight.

It was now two point three meters tall, and its body was correspondingly bulkier. It no longer resembled a human being, but a wild beast.

In its left hand it held a large shield that covered three-quarters of its body — a tower shield — and in its right hand it held a wavy-bladed flamberge. This one hundred thirty centimeter long weapon was intended to be held with both hands, but the massive Death Knight could easily wield it with one hand. A dreadful red-black aura covered the flamberge's blade, which pulsed like a heart.

Its massive body was sheathed in a suit of full plate armor made from some black armor, and it was covered in red tracery that resembled blood vessels. The armor was also covered in spikes as far as anyone could see, and it looked like a man-shaped incarnation of brutality. Demonic horns sprang from its head, and one could see its rotted face underneath them. Twin points of hateful, murderous light shone in the eye sockets of its ghastly visage.

Its tattered black cape blowing in the wind, the Death Knight awaited Momonga's orders. The way it carried itself was truly deserving of the name "Death Knight".

"Ohhhh! Ohhhhh! To not only being able to control one but two, the power given to me by my goddess... to control and create this legendary undead!"

"Legendary undead, the Death Knight?"

"I-I'm sorry, my goddess, Have I said something wrong?"

"No, It's nothing, It's just that I didn't expected for the control of this mid-tier undead so great to you, but considerating how weak are the inhabitants of this world, it's alright to think that a level 35 undead would be so strong."

"Le-level 35?... I'm sorry if my correction is insulting for you, my goddess, but I'm sure that Death Knights are on a level superior of 100... and if the Death Knight is a weakling for you, my master... I'm sorry if I bother you but, Which one is the highest undead?"

"Well, it seems that we have a different measure of level... and as for which is the highest undead... I think that would be the Overlord... to summarize their power, I think that they would be like the Incarnation of Death... and if you ask yourself if I had know or fighted against an Overlord, yes, I had done both... And the one that I know it's the one that created that collar that it's on your neck, the collar that he called [Desperation]... don't worry, he gave it to me and told me to do whatever I wanted with that item as he had failed into his purpose of creating an item that allowed him to summon the highest undeads without losing strengh, and it had finally reached the day for it to leave my hands, so I ask you... to keep that item safe with you for me."

"I will give my life protecting this divine artifact that you had gave to me... My goddess, May I ask you the name of that Incarnation of Death that you know?"

"... Him, hummm... I think that If I were the sun, he would be the moon; If I were fire, he would be cold water; If I were the warm south, he would be the cold north; If I'm life, then he is Death... his name is-"

Etherea suddendly remmembered the words that she said when he first introduced himself...

"Momonga?... Is it a squirrel name or the one of a hamster?"

The truth is that... he sucked at naming.

'Should I do it? He would probably... no, definitely get mad at me... No! If I want everyone to respect Momo-chan the he has to have an imponent name! Okay, let's do this!'

"His name is-"

...

---

...

The two red light inside of Momonga's eye sockets flared like a hellish flame looking with some anger to his friend, that flinched after seeing his gaze.

"And you decided for me to change my name to the name of OUR guild."

"Lo-look, Momo-"

"We built this guild together, not just me, Ainz Ooal Gown is the name that we ALL held."

"I-I kn-know, but-"

"What would they think of-?!"

"They are no longer here!"

The sudden exclamation of Etherea made the two man flinch, completely intimidated... then the both saw how small tears started to appear on her now open eys.

"They are all gone and they're not coming back! No matter how hard we wish it, they're not coming back... nor Touck Me, nor Ulbert... nor my brother."

Her tears started to increase while her voice begun to break as she curled herself into a ball, the both could hear that she was crying a little bit.

Momonga... no, Ainz Ooal Gown sighed softly as he started to walk in front of the crying woman, he pulled out a handkerchief out of his inventory, and then he putted himself at her level, Etherea looked again to Ainz, and then he started to clean her tears away gently as he said:

"I'm sorry, It's just that... Ainz Ooal Gown was the name that we all decided for our guild, for me to carry the name that we gave to our guild mades me remmember that we are the last ones... and that saddens me, but if you, the last one of my friends thinks that I'm the most qualified to the bear that name, I will carry it, so please, stand up, that seeing you cry mades me sad as well."

For a moment, Etherea thought that instead of Momo- Ainz she saw the face of her very brother, and then , the kind smiling face of Suzuki Satoru, she smiled and accepted the hand that he was offering so she can get up, then she started to giggle before she said:

"You can be such a gentleman sometimes."

Ainz just let out a chuckle as a response before Etherea continued:

"You know that it's true, you're the most deserving person to carry the name of our guild, we showed that when we ALL voted for you to be our guildmaster... well, except you, of course, being the humblest and cutest being in the whole existance, you voted for Touch Me instead of yourself... but everyone knew that if you weren't the guildmaster, the guild would have probably been tear itself apart. Hell! I don't even remmember how many times I have heared many of our friends saying that if the guild dissapeared they would have joined another guild with you as their guildmaster even if that meaned to be overlooked at first."

"You're embarrassing me, you know."

As they both laughed, Demiurge- that had, obviously, seen the whole thing- just kept smiling at his lords interaction... maybe, the wishes of Cocytus and Bellona to be called uncle and aunt, respectively, by the future successor of Momonga- no, Ainz Ooal Gown-sama, would be sooner accomplished that he had thought... but the words that Etherea-sama had said and how she had said them... Could it be that they had... died?... the other supreme beings... even his creator... all of them but their two lords... dead... And if that was true then Ainz-sama and Etherea-sama could also die and leave them all alone, this thought scared Demiurge... He felt that it was for the best to don't ask the last Supreme Ones about what happended to the others Supreme Beings as it seemed a delicate subject... he would also have to tell the others about this... his thoughts were stopped as he felt a new presence approaching... He quickly reconized who it was and turned while saying;

"You seem to have also arrived here, Mare... I would have liked to inform the other ones about the fact that I had finally founded Etherea-sama but I got kinda distracted."

Etherea and Ainz turned to look at the recently appeared tomgirl.

"Gre-greetings, Momonga-sama, Etherea-sama, Sh-should I inform the other ones a-about you b-both being here?"

"Please do so but tell my babies that, as I'm a little bit tired for my research, I'm going to rest a little bit after we end with our first steps."

"O-okay, E-Etherea-sama, It's just that... many of your creations are scared that you might also... abandoned us."

The phrase "abandoned us" swirled in their mind like a vortex.

His past companions had left them for their own reasons. YGGDRASIL was just a game, and they could not abandon their real lives for a game. Momonga felt the same way too. Yet could it really be said that he — who had been fixated on Ainz Ooal Gown and the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick — had not been suppressing his anger toward his former comrades?

They abandoned me... they abandoned us.

"... Mare, Nor Ainz-chan nor me is going to abandon any of you."

"Etherea-san, speaks the truth, Mare... also, if you are asking why does she calls me like that, the reason it's that Etherea-san thought that I should carry the name of our guild and, after a little discussion, I finally accepted to carry the name that united all the 41 members of Ainz Ooal Gown so it's name extents to every corner of this world... Of course if any of you thinks that I should not carry this name then I would keep using my name."

"There is only one other person that is worthy of carrying that perfect name, and Etherea-sama has already accepted for you to carry the glorious name of Ainz Ooal Gown, Ainz Ooal Gown-sama."

"I-I think so too, Ainz Ooal Gown-sama."

"Just call me, Ainz... Having someone address me by such a long name all the time would be annoying, so I would like to have everyone do the same thing... well, Etherea-san, I think that we should continue with our talk befor Mare starts his work, you can also listen if you want, Mare."

"C-can I?!"

After seeing the affirmative nod of Ainz, Mare gulped loudly befor paying completely attention to the word of Etherea.

"Well, the next person- that I had personally gotten a like to him due to him very similar in personality to Touch-chan - is the refered as the strongest warrior of the surrounding nations.

His name is Gazed Stronoff, he is a muscular man of around thirty years old. He has a sunbathed dark face with noticeable wrinkles, short black trimmed hair and black eyes that are as sharp as a sword. He is also King Ramposa III's personal royal bodyguard. He entered the grand tournament to acquired the King's trust and became his personal bodyguard after becoming the champion by defeating another impresive warrior, at least for this world, Brain Unglaus.

As the Kingdom's strongest warrior, he is extremely famous, commanding the respect and admiration of all those who know his name. Though only nobles can become a "Knight" in the Kingdom, Gazef commands his own "Warrior Troops" instead. For that reason, mostly of the nobles held a great grudge because of him being so next to the king and having such a high tittle for a commoner.

He, definitely- is a talent holder, I would measure him in a level of 30 at much, but what makes him so interesting is that he is a martial arts user of a great level, so I think that he will be pretty useful if he is on our side... but the fact of him being extremely loyal to his country makes him a little difficult to make him join our side as fast as Fluder did."

"I see, then we would have to come with a plan for turning him at our side by his own will so we can have a Martial Arts user as him."

"Oh! But if it's Martial Arts the thing that you want then there is no problem with obtaining them, as one of the items that I have can keep all the memories of someone and learn from them."

"Really!... Oh! How could I forget about the [Cauldron of Thoughts]?! I also have it."

In YGGDRASIL, this item- along with another item called [Memories Bottle]- was used to check the history, abilities and stats of someone, actually, Ainz had used this item on himself before to remmember all the details of her lore.

"Well, as for those two of E-Rantel-"

"I have a plan for that."

Momonga quickly said, and then Etherea looked at him with a smile.

"Ara, it seems that you really want to talk about it, so go ahead and say it."

'Payback, you moron, that is for tricking me into saying things that I had no idea what I was even saying!'

'Shit! I screwed thing up for me! I just have some pieces of it I don't have the whole plan!... God, Demiurge seems so excited about the fact of him hearing my plan... Okay, let's not disappoint him and Etherea-san!'

"Actually, my plan it's pretty simple, I wanted us to act as afventurers of E-Rantel, so we can get close to them, the first one, Nfirea, we can taking him to our side if we do something for his little girlfriend- for what you told us, he seems to be really in love with her- so if we bring her to out side then he will follow her without a second thought, it would be for the best that the thing that we do for her would be something like saving her life or so."

Ainz had an uneasy feeling about Demiurge and said with a searious voice:

"I would prefer that it would be something that doesn't involves demons or undeads or any creature of Nazarick... continuing with, in Ninya's case... I think it would be easier, if we gave her back her sister she would be completely on our side, so we need some of our underling to locate her and rescue her. And while we are adventurers we can make things to increase the reputation of Nazarick in this world without the need of using our complete strengh."

"... Ainz-chan, I don't think that I can be an adventurer."

"E-Eh?!... Why is that?"

"Well, the next part of my plan was to send someone to capture some Martial Arts users, preferably criminals that anyone would care of, and the one that I chose was... Shalltear, I know that she is not a good option for capturing someone as she is more a fighter than an infiltrator but I wanted her to come with me to see if she can control her [Blood Frezy] completely and for that I also wnated to go as well with some others."

Ainz was kinda dissapointed that he could not had adventures with his friend like the old days when they were youngers... but they had responsabilities now, protect Nazarick and the creation of their friends.

Ainz sighed and said:

"Okay, then... I will leave the matter of my future companion or companions for later... Well, I want to assume that... We are going to leave Bellona to take care of our future domains and make sure that no one rebei against us while we do our job, Aura- after we add to our domains the Great Forest of Tob- to protect it while she identifies some of the plants, trees and beings, as well to have a secure place to across the Azerlisia Mountains to the Dwarf Kingdom, Demiurge will command the forces that are ment to save the elves and Demi-Human races to lead them to our domains, Gargantua, Victim nor Cocytus. can travel with you because they cannot pass unnoticed and Mare has a lot of work to do so the only ones that you can go with are the Pleides, Sebas, Ray and Gabriel."

"Momonga-sama, Aren't you forgetting about certain someone?"

A sweet voice called the attentionof everyone and whe they turned to see who it was, they saw Albedo with her usual smile, while begind her there were some demons that were melting the ice... they seemed to be really striving.

"I didn't forgot about you Albedo, I was about to talk about you, you see, as the Overseer of the Guardians I trust you more than anyone else. It is because you are in Nazarick that we can leave it in peace... and also I wanted to change my name, so this name can resonate in this New World, my new name is... Ainz Ooal Gown, Do any of you have any objection?"

The only one that talked was Albedo that said:

"There is no one that can object that! There is no being more worthy to carry that name than yourself."

"U-umu... I see... you see, this name was intended to represent the forty one of us, and this includes your maker, Tabula Smaragdina-san. However, We ignored the feelings of your master and the others, and Etherea took that name for myself on a whim. How do you think they would feel about that?"

Ainz said this while looking at Etherea, that was scratching her head as she laughed awkwardly.

" If you wish to use that name, all I feel is happiness, Momonga-sama... Although I fear to anger you… I pray you will allow me to speak. If my words displease you, then I will gladly take my own life if you command it. I feel that some of the Supreme Beings who aban-"

"Albedo, with all due respect I would like that you don't say a word about the other Supreme Beings."

"And why would be that, Demiurge? You know that you're interrupting MY conversation with Ainz Ooal Gown-sama."

"Yes, I know and I deeply apologize but the thing that I want to discuss are... delicate subject for the lasts Supreme Ones... I'm sorry if this bother you, my lords but I would like to change of topic... Mare, I think that you have a lot of work to do, Don't you?"

"Y-yes, I do!"

Mare held his staff on the air, and then, a wave over a hundred meters across was moving along the land as though it were the sea. Little ripples rose from the surface of the plains, slowly heading in the same direction as they fused together, finally becoming small hillocks as they approached Nazarick. The gigantic pile of dirt shattered against the sturdy walls of Nazarick, like waves crashing against the shore.

"As expected of you, Mare, It seems camouflaging the walls is an easy task for you, and this job it incredibly splendid."

"I-It w-was no-nothing co-compared to the jobs of the Supreme Ones re-really."

"Still, it was a wonderful job made in such a short time... and as a way to thank you for your work, I want to give you... this."

One of the ironclad rules of society that Ainz believed in was that a good boss should compliment the good work of his subordinates.

The Guardians thought highly of him; conversely, in order to have them continue to be loyal to him, Ainz had to act in a way that was worthy of their praise.

Allowing these NPCs that his guild members had made together to feel disappointment or betrayal because of his actions would shatter his golden record as a guild master. It would be like a mark of failure branded on Ainz. Because of that, Ainz had to be careful to maintain the air of authority befitting a ruler when he spoke to the NPCs.

When Ainz pulled out the gift that he was planning to give him-

"A-A-Ainz-sama… you've taken the wrong thing out!"

"No I—"

"—It can't be right! That's the [Ring of Ainz Ooal Gown], a treasure which only the Supreme Beings possess! I can't accept a reward like that."

The both players were shocked at how the unexpected reward was making Mare tremble.

He was correct in that this ring was intended for the guild members. Only one hundred of them had been made, so that meant that there were only fifty nine rings without owners — no, fifty eight. As a result, they were quite precious, but the reason for this gift was not just as a reward, but the hope that it would be put to good use.

In order to put Mare's rampant imagination at ease, Ainz sternly said, "Calm down, Mare."

"I, I can't! How could I accept a valuable ring that only the Supreme Beings should possess—"

"—Calm down, Mare. Teleportation is blocked in the Great Tomb of Nazarick, and that generates all kinds of inconveniences."

After hearing this, Mare slowly regained his composure.

"My hope is that during an enemy attack, the Guardians will command their respective Floor's forces. At the same time it would be quite sad if a Guardian was unable to move around freely due to the teleportation block. Therefore, I give this ring to you."

Ainz raised the ring on his finger high. It glittered brilliantly in the moonlight.

"Mare, I am pleased with your loyalty. At the same time, I understand your reluctance as an NPC to accept this ring which symbolizes us. However, if you truly understand my intentions, you will accept my orders and this ring with them... I also intent to give the others these rings; however you are the first. This is because I am pleased with your work. If I gave this to someone who did no work, then this ring would have no meaning. Or do you intend to devalue this ring?"

"No, no, of course not!"

"Then take it, Mare. After accepting this ring, continue working hard for Nazarick and myself."

Mare nervously reached out his hand and slowly accepted the ring.

"Momonga-sama, th-thank you for this great gift... I promise that from today onward I will work harder so I do not disappoint you!"

"Then, I'll trust you with it, Mare."

"Yes!"

A determined look appeared on Mare's face as he gave his immediate answer.

"Also... Demiurge, Albedo, please come closer."

"Understood."

They moved synchronized and stylishly, like if they had practiced to do that tons of times, and when they finally were in front of Ainz, he said:

"I know that because of me and Etherea, you had all delayed the works that you had to do, so as a way to reward you all for the hard work that every guardian has made at searching for Etherea, I wanted to also give you a [Ring of Ainz Ooal Gown]"

Ainz offered two rings to the both guardians, which they took them hesitantly.

"I will work hard to be deserving of this valuable item."

"...Thank you very much."

Her reaction was so different from the one of Demiurge and Mare, and one that Ainz was somewhat disappointed. However, he immediately realised that he was mistaken.

The corner of Albedo's mouth was twitching and she was desperately trying not to let her expression change. Her wings were shuddering because she was trying her best not to spread them. The hand which took the ring had clenched up and then it opened up, trembling mightily. Even an idiot could see her excitement... but then she stopped her whole body and then she said:

"Ainz-sama, I'm sorry if my question is a bother to you but... let's say tha someone wants something really precious for that someone but that something is already at the hand of other someone... should the first one take it from the other one?"

"... No, because that something is the possession of the other one and that is no the way how you gain the possession of the other one."

"I see... so the best way is to gain it... Am I right, Ainz-sama?"

"Indeed, It's true."

While Ainz and Etherea were confused at her words, the other ones- even the underlings- understood the meanings of her words, but before someone could stop her. Albedo quickly said:

"Etherea Diamond-sama, I, Albedo, Overseer of the Guardians, challenge you for the right of being the right hand of Ainz Ooal Gown-sama."

' And her legimite first wife!'

Demiurge, Mare and the underlings looked at Albedo as if she had lost her mind, true, she had all the chances to win a battle against Etherea if she managed to stop Etherea from transforming into her true form- which normally takes for her like 10 seconds.

While the both players looked analytically to Albedo without any expression, but actually, they were extremely concerned and scared, specially Etherea tha had many thought running on her mind.

'This is what I fucking feared! What should I do?!... Okay, let's calm down and see things strategically, if I refuse, I will probably be seen as a coward and someone unworthy of being a "Supreme Being", as they would probably refer to me, and they will lost all faith in my leadership, No!, More importantly they will lost all faith in me... but if I accept, I will have to be on a battle that I have very few chances of victory if she cancels my transformation on my true form... What should I do?!'

After some more thinking and concluding that she had no other choice, she said:

"Okay, Overseer of the Guardians, I, Ethereal Diamond, accept your challenge."

All of the people near to Etherea were surprised by her sudden answer, except for Albedo who had a sinister smile carved on her face, and then Albedo said:

"Okay, as you, Ethereal Diamond-sama, as the challenged part, the first action, the rules and the fight will be determined by yourself."

Etherea quickly responded:

"We will fight at this very moment at... this place."

And with that said, Etherea pulled out from her inventory a crystal cube of dimension 10x10x10, then she throwed it at the air, 30 meters ahead of them before, suddendly, expanding into a gigantic cube that seemed to easily contain 30 dragon on it, instantly the cube became transparentas a "door" opened, the "door" showed the same space that it was on that place- this item was called [Perfect Cube].

"We cannot fight with our full power without calling the attention of everyone on the area, and as a way for Ainz-chan and the others to see us..."

Then Etherea pulled out a pulished crystal ball and gaved it to Ainz, then she stretched her wings and said:

"Let's go."

And with that, Etherea flew into the cube, shrtly followed by Albedo, tha also used her wings to fly, and after the both entered, the door inmediatly close and an image started to appear in the crystal ball, that escaped from the grasp of Ainz like if it was a gas, and started flotating in the middle of the two guardians and the player, the underlings also got a little bit closer to see what was going to happen.

...

[Perfect Cube], this item- with a cooldown time of 5 hours- was usually used against bosses so the ones outside the cube, usually the ones with the lowest life or the magic casters without mana so they can recover their forces, the item once used is completely indestructible from the inside- so this is also a double-edge sword as the one or the ones inside the cube are trapped without the chance of escape if someone of the outside doesn't help him or them.

Etherea looked at the ceiling... there she saw two vertical bars, the first one was hers while the one on her side was from Albedo-

'Just like in the game.'

"Well, as you had told me before, I'm the challenged part so I put the rules... the only rules are that our battle will only last 30 minutes, so the one that has the lowest life until that moment or the one reaches first the 5% of her life loses or if Ainz-chan sees fit, he will stop the fight and say who is the winner, Any objections?"

"None."

Said, almost instantly, Albedo at the same time that she changed to her heavy armor and summoned her weapon.

[Hermes Trismegistus], the Divine-Class armor that Tabula Smaragdima asked for Etherea to make, as she was one of the best blacksmiths in the whole game- with her previous character- A sturdy three-part suit of pitch-black armor crafted in the resemblance of a devil. A pair of horns would sprout across both sides of the helm while the exterior surface of the suit is covered with spikes. Aside from the thinly carved slit that serves as a visor, the armor does not reveal even the tiniest exposure of flesh. It specializes solely in physical defense with no other abilities.

In her both hand she was pressing to the ground her black axe of middle size, this Divine-Class weapon- that was also created by Etherea- this DCI was called [Baruch Spinoza], this axe reached to 3.2 feets, it's special ability of this weapon was able to ignore all kind of defenses and being able to damage the soul of the enemy and at the same time giving the enemy many debuffs while she buffed herself and her allies.

Etherea also did the same, changing to one of her hardest armors.

[Everything Black], she wore an armor made of pure Kek, the ore of the void, in it's normal form it was an ore of pure black color, the lore of the game said that this mineral was the very same void that was before all the nine realms crystalized and fortified to be able to be almost indestructible, it was one of the seven prismatic ores.

Her armor covered most of her curved body, in the part of the breastplate where was her heart there was a blackish blue protruding orb and from it to every part of the body seemed to follow lines like veins, but instead of blood it was like those line were transporting some liquid with the same color scheme as a starry night. Her clawed gloves ended in a complete jet-black claws and her sabaton- the armor for her foots- ended, in the front, by a jet-black spine. Each of her gloves had a big blue orb in the back of them. Her helmet was very alike to the one of Albedo, just that it's color scheme was darkish blue.

She didn't summoned her weapon... yet, as she was planning her whole strategy.

'Firstly, my enemy... Albedo is the highest class of succubus, a Lust Empress, a primal demon, this class of demon has the highest defenses and in her true form her defenses exceeds her limits while her physical attacks and racial skills becomes more destructive, that is after I destroy completely her armor, after all, Albedo's advantage is her defense, being an inamobible wall that can increase her strenght the more damage you make to her, critical hits are useless as well as some other things... I have to end this fast, her true strenght appears in long battles... but if she avoids all my attack in my true form I'll be completely screwed as my true form is my only form that consumes my life the more time that I'm on it as well as the only one that has a limit of time, and after that time limit ends my defenses will drop drastically... Fortunely I have the advantage of knowing all her skills and equip, as Tabula-chan told me all of her information so I could create the perfect armor for her- as I had many of the rarest and best jobs for blacksmiths- while she doesn't know a thing about me... Well, let's start with my brother's favorite combo.'

This last thought made Etherea smile, maybe she could now use her brother's combo perfectly as she now did not need her control panel to access to her skills.

The first thing that Etherea did was to use one of those spells which surpassed the tenth tier of magic, a Super-Tier Spell.

A gigantic dome-shaped magic circle of white radiance appeared around her.

"So, Etherea-sama, Do you really think that you have a single posibility against me? I can recall pretty well that my creator, Tabula Smaragdima-sama, always said, even when Etherea-sama were in front of me, that Etherea-sama wouldn't last long against me."

"Well... let's test if what he always said was true, 'Bedo-chan"

"As a sort of courtesy to you, I'm going to receive this first attack of yours."

Etherea smiled to the side.

"Getting so cocky will get you nowhere, 'Bedo-chan."

Everyone in the guild knew something, Etherea really disliked extremely arrogant and cocky people but seeing Albedo acting like that didn't made her dislike Albedo, after all, she hasn't ever gotten into a true fight- and at the same time she was claimed to be one of the strongest NPC in the whole Nazarick- In all ways, she was truly a child that did not knew a lot of things, although her inteligence and deduction abilities was on another level, she only knew how to fight because she was made for it but as she didn't had a true PvP she only knew how to throw all of her skills and how to swinging wildly her weapon in the most effective way, that was her conclusion of her opponent ability.

— The reason why Etherea thought that Albedo didn't had a lot of experience in these kind of things was when- before she went to get information- asked Sebas, Who was the strongest guild of the whole YGGDRASIL? His answer was that it was Ainz Ooal Gown and whe she asked if he was certain of it? He, almost instantly, said that he was completely certain. The conclusion that she came with was that they didn't knew about other things than the ones that they were teached to by them or what they talked about as she had also asked about some other things of the real world.

"But if that's what you want, Who am I to deny you that wish?... Have this! Super-Tier Spell [Crystalization]—"

...

"Ainz-sama, sorry if I anger you, but, Why didn't you stopped them?"

"... I had no right to stop a battle that Etherea-san had already accepted, I know her and when she decides something one cannot made her turn her words... Also, I'm curious to see how this battle develops."

Demiurge finally understood- misunderstood- the objetive of his master, a smile slowly carved his face replacing his confused face, after all it was for the best to have a strong heir.

"A-Ainz-sama, I-I'm sorry for asking, b-but Why are E-Etherea-sama and Albedo j-just standing there and not fi-fighting?"

"They are analizing their oponent and waiting for the exact moment to attack, or so I think, you see Mare, when someone enters to a battle one must be fully prepared both physically and mentally to fight, and a thing that everyone will agree is that the information it's the most useful thing when someone battles, so if you thought that Albedo had all the advantage in this situation then you are wrong, they are at equal terms in this, Albedo, for having a lot of Etherea's weaknesses, and Etherea, for having all of her information while Albedo doesn't have any information of her aside from Etherea's weaknesses and strenghts, after all, Etherea-san is the one that designed Albedo's weapon and her armor."

And expression of confusion appeared on the faces of the two guardians as well on the underlings, the Demiurge said:

"Wasn't Tabula Smaragdima-sama the one who designed Albed's armor and weapon?"

"Indeed, Tabula-san is the one who designed that armor but he is not the one who crafted it, the one who crafted Albedo's whole set- as well as many of the weapons of some of the Floor Guardians and Area Guardians, as she was one of the best blacksmiths in the whole YGGDRASIL if not the best."

"I see... Ainz-sama, Hasn't Etherea-sama made a mistake? After all, Albedo's trump card is her skill that is able to negate even a Super-Tier Spell."

"Hmmmm, not precisely... I see, so she want to us her version of that combo... Welll, you see, Demiurge, [Crystalization] is not just a simple Super-Tier Spell, this spell is able to always land it's target even if the target has an ability against Super-Tier spells, this spell is also able to ignore all her defenses after the one who casted that spell breaks it or the spell's stun runs out, making the user able to attack the soul of his or her opponent for a definite time... Oh! She has started the combo, I wonder if she is gonna manage to do it now."

...

If it weren't for Albedo's helmet, one could be able to see that Albedo had a confident smile carved on her face, even though she knew that it wasn't a good strategy just staying there and negate the Super-Tier Spell that Etherea wanted to use, sacrifying a part of her armor... but she needed to show to he beloved that she was stronger than Etherea and, by doing so, showing that she was the most deserving one to be his first wife.

And after she heared Etherea saying the spell, curiosity was driven onto her as she looked how an almost imperceptible flotating colorless liquid that quickly transformed itself into a needle, she activated her skill, [Chrysalis], just in case, as she saw how the needle shot itself towards herself... but when the needle got embedded with her armor.

— She lost all of her senses.

Etherea looked at how Albedo was 'crystallizing' little by little, lookinng at herself- completely confused- as she lost all movility of her body until she became completely static.

"Well, you had truly received my 'attack'... I could mock of you all I want since you will not be able to me until I make some damage to you or until the 5 minutes of the spell runs out, but that is not my style... so let's begin... [Body of Effulgent Beryl]"

The full armored body of Etherea glowed green and then-

"Hahaha! It's a great relief seeing that this spell hasn't changed... normally I would use the ring that my brother bought so he wouldn't have to buy tons of one-use items to eliminate the casting time of the Super-Tier Spells, but as you were so cocky it didn't seemed to be necessary... How dumb of me, she is not even listening to me... Even if you don't hear me, 'Bedo-chan, I'm sorry about this but I will have to ask you to stay that way before the battle starts."

Etherea continued casting various spells to buff herself.

"[No Weight] [Bless of Magic Caster] [Bless of the Berserk] [Bless of the Warrior] [Bless of the Monk] [Primal Aura] [Draconinc Aura] [Draconic Power] [Infinity Wall] [Indestructible] [Greater Full Potential] [Maximum Full Potential] [Greater Scales] [Calorific Scales] [Frozen Scales] [Mantle of Purity] [Doom] [Penetrate Up] [Maximum Penetrate Up] [Sensor Boost] [Greater Resistance] [Paranormal Intuition] [Freedom] [False Data-Life] [See Through] [Triplet Maximize Magic: Explode Mine]..."

She casted more and more spells untile her mana reached to a 50%, the seemingly endless stream of spells surrounded her whole body. Actually this boosting was not a part of the combo, but she thought that it was for the best to make as much preparations as possible.

Actually, she thought that it was for the best to do her own version of her brothers favorite combo as he did that combo while he was hitting his enemies and the special spell was a weaker version of this Super-Tier Spell that didn't required casting time but as it was extremely hard to do, she had come with an easier way to do it... but even if it was a easier way to do it, it was still hard in the game to do.

"Then, let's go... [Transformation: Speed]"

After she said those words, her scales begun to cover her whole body as she, little by little, got the same form as a bipedal dragon of the same shape as a thin human of 8 feets, her whole armor changed as her body transformed, her wings grew larger as well as her tail. Even thought this transformation might had seemed to last some seconds, or even a minute, it had just lasted a single second. This was her Speed Form, while her defenses dropped drastically, her attack, resistance and speed- specially the last one- grew significantly.

Mostly of Etherea's racial spells, instead of costing mana costed an amount of life, but along them, the most useful spells- for her whole build- were the Transformation Spells that, mostly of them didn't had a limit time, except her true form- unaware for Etherea, at least for now, in this New World there was nor drawbacks nor limit time for any of her forms, but when she enters into another one of her forms her racial weaknesses becomes more stronger than before for a certain amount of time- On the other hand there was her complete form, that was literally a spell that made her able to transforming herself into a whole dragon- in that form she became more open for attacks and her racial weaknesses reached to an extreme level- her complete form could only be used 5 times in a day, but she could stay all that she wanted in that form, and when she returned from her complete form she would be unable to attack with magic, the fact of how strong were the forms of the dragonoids was mostly the reason why the dragonoids were mostly monks or brawlers.

Etherea inhalate some air through her nose before exhalate it from her mouth, all the air that was exhalated was like a multicolor gas with some brilliants shards. And then, Etherea dissapeared in less then a blink of an eye and in another instant she appeared right in front of the 'crystallized' Albedo. In the middle way, she muttered the words [Transformation: Strenght], and right when Etherea was in front of Albedo, her whole body started to become more muscular and short, like if she was transforming herself into a Dragonkin with wings, her armor also started to adapt itself to Etherea's new form.

The big fist of Etherea connected with the 'crystallized' helmet of Albedo- a sound similar to the one that it was made when someone broke some glasses was heared when this happened- the powerful hit send her flying some meters behind her, the 'crystal' that was restraining her started to fall like leaves that came out of a tree on autumn, Albedo didn't even had a time to react to that sudden attack, she could only gasp at the sudden pain.

In an instant, Etherea held her right arm to it's side with her open palm- as she changed to her humanoid form, that was the strongest form when it came for magical attacks- and in her open palm appeared a miniature 'sun', this was a 10th tier spell called —

"[Solar Jail]!"

Etherea threw the 'sun' to the yet to fall Albedo and when the 'sun' touched her armor it enfulged her completely in a spherical dome of inmense heat.

As Albedo was agonizing in the 'jail' that contained Albedo dissapeared, a fist connected with the hard armor shortly followed by an uncountable amount of hits, and after 5 whole seconds of hits, Etherea ended with the burst of blows with a last hit.

But this last hit was not a normal one, her fist was imbued with the power of a skill called [Soul Breaker] and when her fist connected with he metalic abdomen, at the same time that liberated small shockwaves, one could see how the soul of Albedo came out of her body and the it shattered returning to her body instantly after Albedo's soul 'shattered' completely.

Instantly after Albedo's soul returned to her body, the horn of Etherea were pressed against her abdomen as she opened her mouth from ear to ear in an unnatural form, in front of her mouth appeared a 'ball' of great energy of a reddish black radiance and, before Albedo could react, the 'ball' shot a great beam of pure energy, the force of the beam even forced Albedo backwards some meters without the posibility of an escape.

'... Maybe not, if I do the whole combo then she will not have a single way to fight back and that wouldn't be a true fight.'

Etherea thought as she canceled her attack and returned to her usual form, feeling where Albedo was, Etherea decided to activate one of her traps.

How had she made her feel pain, even though this was one of the strongest armor of the whole Nazarick? She had not a single idea.

How had that Super-Tier Spell not being negated? She had no idea.

Many questions without answer echoed inside of her head.

This lack of information made her a little bit angry... then the words of Etherea resounded in her head... this is what she meant... How foolish of herself! She was fighting a Supreme Being and she was been cocky, even though she still believed the words of her creator, she had forgotten that she was fighting one of the strongest Supreme Beings that was on pair with Touch Me-sama in her golden age, she had been dumb enough to go without an strategy and just receive her attacks... and this was the result, the first part of her weapon was about to break while her health was on a 70%... she was now the one on a disadvantage.

"The place that you had fallen... it's quite dangerous, you know."

The tender warning that she gave to Albedo, as though concerned for her well-being, referred one of the countermeasures she had prepared for Albedo.

But it was too late to avoid the three explosions that were near enough to blow her away by the force of the explosion, however Albedo managed to stay in her place without much damage, thanks to her armor... but her armor wasn't as lucky.

"That overconfidence was your first mistake, you should better be more cautious with your actions now that the first part of your armor is now useless."

Albedo's first part of her armor started falling like broken glasses from their place, Albedo got rid of those pieces as they were now useless... for now.

The second part of her armor, the full-body armor, as the first part of Albedo's armor was just additional armor, the appearance didn't changed a lot but her defenses dropped in a significant part.

"A mistake that I wont repeat again, Etherea-sama."

Albedo could still felt that stange feeling on her own soul, like if it was exposed... could it be that the reason why she could be able to cause so much damage in so little time... perhaps.

Then Albedo saw how Etherea pulled out from the nothingness... an axe, a two-hands battle axe of a size slightly minor to the one that she was carrying in her both hands. This axe was smaller then the one of hers, it's blade looked as dark as her armor, [Hermes Trismegistus], while the handle was made of a darkish brown wood, the mettalic shoulder of the axe was made of a dark blue metal and it had four stocks with four gems, the first one of a light blue color that emited a frosty aura, the second one of a blue color that emited an electric aura, the third one of a red color that emited a scorching aura and the last one of a blue green color that seemed to contain some sort of gas, Albedo could even feel the unfamiliar but powerful power coming from that axe.

Unaware to Albedo, Etherea called this axe [Mictlan], after she heared Ainz tell his plan of masquerade as adventurers she had founded the destiny of this axe, in Ainz's hand in his disguise as an adventurer... maybe she could also give him [Highway Star] to him.

Etherea dissapeared in a instant and quickly materialized in front of Albedo, she had obviously performed a short-range teleport.

Albedo raised her axe and their two axes clashed generating great shockwaves because of their strenght.

If it not were for the [Perfect Cube], the strenght of this battle would have been felt in the surroinding nations and villages, the earth below the feets of these two womans would have breaked apart... it was fortunate that they had this item.

In a moment of the clashes of their weapons, she had freed some of the power of [Mictlan], the power to control and create thunders, and hitted with her axe faster then before connecting a slash with the armor of Albedo, even though that slash would have cutted any normal person and their armors like a butter with a hot knife, in Albedo's armor had just appeared a diagonal cut because of the strenght of Etherea and power of the axe.

Armors made by the Seven Prismatic Ores sure was something. Unaware for the both, even though all the spells that Etherea- in the time that she created this armor- used on were all extremely powerful, but the Wild Magic can ignore all of the rules of the Tier Magic and this Ancient Magic is in extreme powerful, if it wasn't that the case, the armor of Albedo would have just a white small cut line that hadn't penetred Albedo's hard armor.

But Albedo didn't stayed still, as her axe connected with Etherea's body, but instead of a metallic sound the axe trespassed Etherea's whole body like if she was just a ghost, this wasn't a defensive skill from Etherea this was the special ability of her axe... the power to damage the souls of her enemies instead of their bodies.

Etherea felt some liquid inside of her armor... it was her blood, the metallic smell of the blood came to her nose as she felt like her soul was been cutted like a bread. The injury dissapeared as fast as it had appeared, even though the damage that she had done to her was greater than she had expected it to be as she had now 70% of her life, but considerating that she had a lot of debuffs and that she had used a lot of life on her spells, even though that she had recovered some thanks to the green orbs of her armor and some of her passives, it was an understandable damage.

Etherea made a quick jump backwards to increase the distance between them, but Albedo didn't let her go and along with her skill [Impurity Slash]. A black haze started to appear in the blade of her axe as she got close to Etherea.

Etherea, seeing the evil power that emited Albedo's axe, blocked with her both wings and, almost when the axe of Albedo connected with Etherea, pushed her backwards some meters, Albedo didn't lose her balance, and then she focused on the power of the fire of her axe and shot a great concentrated wave of inmense heat to Albedo, that blocked the attack with a 'wall of glass', the skill that she just used was called [Reality Shard: Protection].

As the wave of heat hitted the 'wall', Albedo started casting one of her few agresive spells [Reality Shard: Attack], on her sides there had appeared some 'shards of glasses' that were pointed at Etherea. Etherea, also casted at the same time, another skill.

A gigantic divine lance appeared in her hand. It was well over three meters long with an especially large head. The aura of purity it emanated proved that this was no ordinary weapon. It reflected the rays of the sun in its silver radiance, producing a beautiful and eyecatching display.

There were no words, the both shot their attacks to their enemies, the 'shards' went through Etherea's armor, without damaging it- the full damage of the 'shards' was reduced thanks to Etherea's armor- Etherea released the platinum lance, She did not throw it like a javelin, but instead it rose by itself and darted out. The spear pierced through the chest of Albedo's armor leaving a small hole in her chest as the weapon dissapeared.

Then Etherea threw her axe to Albedo, the axe was filled with the power of the ice, even though Albedo made a great jump backwards to avoid the attack it still reached her and that attack had been landed in the small hole of her chest, opening a little bit more.

Albedo's eyes opened considerably as she landed on the ground in a clumsy way, and as she got up from the ground she tried to pull out Etherea's weapon to using it against her... but she couldn't, it felt like if she was trying to lift up the whole Tomb of Nazarick, impossible considerating the small size of this weapon, she tried and tried but she couldn't, then she started feeling like if she had touched with her naked body an iceberg, this cold sensation... whose sourse was the weapon of her enemy that was on her chest... but what made her gasp was that the sudden changes of temperatures started breaking the second part of the weapon.

She fought more desperately to pull that axe out of her body... until she finally managed it... or rather she thought that she had done it, but actually the one who did it was Etherea that called for her weapon with her open palm... it obeyed and shot itself to his owner's hand.

And when Etherea had her weapon on her hand she pointed it at Albedo while her axe started to emit some electricity... Albedo didn't had a time to react when a giant thunder clashed with her body, the power of the great thunder was greater than it appeared to be, the whole electricity of the attack started to destroy Albedo's second part of her armor little by little and after it seemed that she had done enough damage to Albedo's armor she stopped.

- The reason why seemed so easy for Etherea to break her armor wasn't because Albedo's armor was weak or that Etherea had Rupture type magic on her weapon, the reason was that Etherea aplicated science and reached her from the same temperature as a sun or even the center of the Earth two times, as well as with Etherea's whole presence, and then bringed it to a minus 0 ºC of temperature.

Albedo looked as her whole armor started to fall out from it's place and after a few seconds she saw a black liquid that was on her body the third level of her armor... imposible, she had been pushed to this level so quickly... there was no other option, she had to abandon her forte and became more aggresive against her enemy.

Focusing on her skill and using another one of her skill she sacrified the last part of armor in order to gain more defenses and recover some of her life.

The black liquid that surrounded her body suddendly exploted as she glowed purple, her full naked body became on sight of everyone that was watching, the black liquid started to flotate in the air and then it quickly returned to her body as well as the other broken parts of her armor meanwhile she was transforming into her true form.

... A demon, that could be the way to truly describe her, her wings became larger as her whole body grew and became more devilish, a grey-silver tail full of purple spines that ended on a heart that seemed to be made of metal and could cut anything with ease, in her arms, legs, face and in some parts of her body the same purple spines started to appear as her snow skin started to change it's color to a dark shade of grey, her fingernails started to grew to a large size as it changed of color to a purple shade, her teeth became more sharper while her tongue became into something similar to a snake, the sclera of her eyes became completely black, Albedo's assets were quickly covered by her broken armor, two purple horns started to grew on her head and a black aura started to cover her whole body.

Upon seeing this, Etherea, unconsciously, took a step behind herself as she put again in her inventory her axe and pulled out her helmet, she had fighted against Lust Empress in their true before and armors were useless against them... but how had she turned to her true form so quickly, after all her true form was similar to Etherea's complete form and that ment that the user had to wait for like 10 seconds still without receiving any damage, but Albedo just transformed into seconds.

'Maybe I can do that too."

As this thought appeared on her head she tried to transform into her complete form in an instant... but she couldn't, she wondered what had just happened and why couldn't she transform into her complete form in an instant, she was now transforming herself into her complete form but it would take some time.

She couldn't ask herself too many questions as Albedo used one of her racial spells.

"[Pestilence]"

Albedo exhalated a green smoke to Etherea, that responded her attack exhalating an insanely cold great gust of air that clashed with the green smoke.

And as their breaths clashed, Albedo started to move her tail dangerously and shot many of the spines that were on her tail.

Some of the spines failed in their mission to penetrate the hard armor of Etherea, but one of them managed to complete it's mission as it was combined with her special acid, her blood.

The acid spine penetrated with ease Etherea's armor and it embedded from side to side, the pain made her lost concentration, this very fact wasn't wasted by Albe as she put more force on her attack, covering Etherea's whole body in her acid breath.

Albedo's breath started to dissolve Etherea's armor and skin in mere instants- her passive regeneration healed her every time her skin was dissolved.

Albedo stopped releasing her mortal breath on her opponent, and when she looked at he, her body was completely naked as her whole armor had been dissolved by her potent acid, even her own spine was dissolved, some part of her muscles looked completely exposed showing the tissues of her muscles- some of them even showed a part of her bones- but this sight didn't stayed like that for too long as her skin started to regenerate, the parts that hadn't been damaged a lot were reinforced by her blue scales while the most damaged parts was only healed her skin.

As expected of one of her weaknesses, even though Etherea had a lot of items against her weaknesses, they still affected her if they were insanely strong like the acid of Albedo that could even dissolve completely a armor made of one of the Seven Prismatic Ores.

"[Reality Shatter]"

Etherea hitted the air and, with the same souns as the one that caused the glass when it was broken, the reality itself shattered as Albedo was hitted by an invisible force, making her spit some of her acid blood.

'I need to regain my health.'

And with this thought, Albedo looked at the sky as she forced something to come out... then, she threw six disgusting things.

All of them looked exactly the same, jet-black skin that seemed to be liquid, a height of almost 12 feets, muscular yet thin body, fingers like claws, multiple predator-like brilliant blood red eyes, open mouths that showed their blacks and sharps teeths while the inner part of their mouths seemed to contain more rows of teeths- their insides seemed to be like hell itself- and many spines protrude form their skins.

These level 85 monsters, that Albedo could summon 4 times a day, were called Pain Bringers, warrior demons of high calibre.

Then Albedo quickly streched her wings and with a great force created a great distance with her oponents as she ordered her summons to attack, her summons obeyed instantly her demand as they all exhalated black flames that seemed to be imposible to extinguish.

Etherea countered them exhalating multicolor flames that clashed with the black flames.

Behind the six Pain Bringers, Albedo had covered herself into a black liquid that was solidificated almost instantly.

After some more seconds, Etherea expulsed with more force multicolor flames that finally overpowered the black flames and burned the demons.

... When the flames were finally extinguished, one of the Pain Bringers saw Etherea right in front of him with an axe made of divine light in her hands, and before any of them could react, the axe cutted his head with great ease.

But, even though she had cutted his head, that demon was still alive, headless but alive. Etherea used her wings and the strenght of her legs to jump backwards as she exhalated her multicolor and destructive breath, that was countered by their black flames.

Instantly after she thouched the ground and stopped exhalating her destructive breath, to the sides, two big fists almost touched her face but Etherea had managed to block them with her arms, as her light weapon dissapeared tranforming into a brilliant dust of divine radiance.

The demon that she had cutted his head was now right in front of her, preparing himself to punch Etherea in the face. But Etherea reacted almost instantly as she opened her mouth in an unnatural way as a ball of great radiance begun to appear, and before the fist of the demon hitted her face he was erased by a beam of destructive energy turning him into ashes.

But as the powerful being dissapeared, two demons appeared behind him as well as one in fornt of her and connected their fists with her back and her stomach as they pierced her body full of scales with their spines.

The reason of why those spines could pierce through her hard scales was due to several debuffs and curses that Albedo gave previously to Etherea.

"[Greater Teleportation]"

Etherea dissapeared in an instant, but befor any of the demons could search for her, she appeared above their heads and as she pointed them with her open palm. she said:

"[Triplet Maximize Magic: Mirror Land]"

Three of the five demons suddendly turned into the 2D and as they tried to escape from, which it seemed to be, a mirror, Etherea suddendly appeared right above the head of one of the demons and after falling and sitting in the shoulders of the demon, using her full strenght, she opened the head of the demon as if it were a cookie container, it was a really horrific sight to see sice one could also see that his 'inner hell' was trying to escape... but Etherea didn't allwed him to do so, as she used her multicolor breath in the demon's inside making him look like a stuffed turkey for some seconds before exploding, bathing the 'mirrors', the other demon and Etherea in his organs and his black and thick blood.

Etherea didn't stayed still as she jumped like a predator to it's prey and started to scratch, with her great strenght and with her sharp fingernails, the chest of the demon- that started to make an horrific cry of pain as he tried to took of of himself Etherea, that was now pulling out of his chest every single heart... no, every single organ from his insides, and after emptying his inside she took the dead body of the demon to the mirrors, killing two of the three treapped demons and leaving one heavely damaged demon.

Etherea formed a light lance of divine radiance with her power and, in an instant, she appeared in front of the demon and penetrated from side to side, nailing him to the 'ground' with a great strenght- disabling one of his hearts. While she was still on top of the demons, she pulled out from her flame above her head, two divine swords that she used to pierce the demon's hands, Etherea continued doing this with all of the demons organs until the demon finally tasted the satisfaction of his death.

Instantly after the last demon that Albedo summoned was dead, Albedo came out form her diamond-hard cacoon with 70% of her health.

Seeing her opponent, Etherea, that started to fly at her with a great speed, Albedo reacted to this sending a greater [Pestilence], but Etherea now used [Greater Teleportation] to avoid the attack and appeared right bello her chin and, with a hit of great strenght, forced Albedo to close her mouth by the force.

In return, Albedo created- almost intantly- purple spines in that specific zone that pierced her body and trapped her. Etherea, seeing the hand of Albedo was getting closer and closer so she could crush Etherea, she decided to use the power of her eye.

You see, heterochromatic eyes weren't just for show- in most of the cases- mostly of them had special skills, mostly of them were supportive items- like the one of Etherea, but mostly this kind of eye was used by alchemist and blacksmiths, like Tabula, but as he liked his eyes he decided to stay with the same color scheme as his previous eyes- while others were aggresives- like the ones of Demiurge or the one of Ulbert.

In the case of Etherea, her power was to control time to a certain extent like the cooldawn reduction of all her skills and spells or to stop time for only five seconds.

"[Chronos]"

— Everything stopped.

Etherea used this moment to break free with her sheer strenght and create a respectable distance between them.

Then the time started to move again, and Albedo- after she detected that her opponent wasn't in her chin- just keep herself in the same place, watching how Etherea had finally managed to acces to her complete form.

Ethera's scales started to cover her whole body as she kept growing and growing until she reached the same gigantic height of Albedo. Etherea was now like a blackish blue, crag-covered mountain of scales and hide. The head is a spade-like terror spiked with cruel brilliant heterochromatic eyes. Rivulets of a liquid in similar color scheme to the starry night are visible beneath the great wyrm's scorched scales.

After an extremely loud roar that caused several shockwaves, Etherea concentrated a lot of strenght in creating her most destructive ball of energy until now, and after a few seconds, she shot a potent beam that collided with the beam of black radiance that Albedo made.

The clash of their powers continued until Etherea summoned even more power and her beam completely consumed the one of Albedo's.

After Albedo stopped been consumed by Etherea's potent attack, a strong fist hitted her face, that caused her to go a little backward due to the strenght of the attack, Etherea tried to hit her again but Albedo blocked her other attack while she used her long tail to damage one of the legs of Etherea as she forced Etherea into gripping both of her hands with great strenght as the both tried to push the other one, the strenght of the grips even generated several shockwave that would have caused an earthquake if they were not inside the cube, she tried to damage her leg... but even though she tried everything she couldn't penetrate this kind of hardness.

She deflected the hands of the Dragonoid to the sides before she started to climb her body and moved to her back to try tear apart the wings of Etherea... but Etherea leaked a lot of sacred power so when Albedo tried to touch her wings, her hands begun to melt, Albedo wanted to create more distance between them, but Etherea quickly grabbed her head and crashed it against the 'wall' with great strenght, and then Etherea putted herself on top of Albedo's back as she tried to tear apart from Albedo's body her wings and her tail and- as Albedo screamed in agony for the first time in this battle- Etherea started to generate a ball of destructive energy that seemed to be ready at any time to turn to ashes the Overseer of the Guardians.

And then —

...

---

...

It had been just an hour since the fight between Albedo and Etherea, in that hour Ainz informed to almost all Nazarick that he was going to change his name. His new name was Ainz Ooal Gown. And when he asked if somebody had a problem with that, nobody spoke out in opposition instead they all hailed the Supreme Overlord.

Albedo found strange that her mistress wasn't there when Ainz-sama announced his new name, after all she was Ainz-sama's first wife. The envy and anger was clear on her eyes, but then she moved her head side to side as small tears appeared on her eyes, she cleaned those tears, this was the consequence of her stupidity. Albedo had reviewed their battle more times that she could count... she concluded that her fatal mistake was not blocking or avoiding Etherea's first attack, if she would have tried to block or avoid it she would have definetaly won... no, she made mistake after mistake, she behaved like a brute that just knew how to use her weapon instead of using her intelligence, Albedo wondered how pathetic she must have seen to make her lord stop the battle.

... It was too late now, maybe she could be Ainz-sama's second wife, after all- for what she heared of Demiurge- Ainz-sama was extremely kind so he would, most probably, enough love for her, this thought made her smile.

Right now, Albedo was been escorted for one of the creations of Etherea, he stood almost 7.2 feets but as he was a crooked male he looked less taller than he actually was.

She was being escorted to the room of her mistress as she had summoned her presence, Albedo wondered why did she wanted to see her... maybe it had something to do with the part of her essence and the part of the essence of her beloved Ainz-sama that she claimed as a prize... she would see what it was once the moment comes.

Albedo looked more closely her guard, his name was Gul'Dan.

She reconized his race, an Uruk, this race was a close kin to the orcs, being more similar to the humanoid races. He was wearing black robes that covered his whole body, in his back was the symbol of Etherea in a blue tonality, in his shoulders there were multiple black feathers. The sound of his staff of black wood hitting the ground resounded in the whole corridor.

Albedo could also feel the same power of Etherea, Gabriel and in some of the Dragonkin's and Dragons of Aura and Mare, as well as her recently created items and weapons of Etherea, inside of Gul'Dan.

Strange considerating that he was primaly an alchemist... but now that she remmembers the mostly of his aggresive spells were elemental or came from Soul-type magic.

Albedo saw how Gul'Dan oppened the room of Etherea.

"You first, Albedo-sama."

Said calmly, he didn't had to say it more than once as she went in in an elegantly pace, the Gul'Dan followed her closing the door behind them.

Etherea's room... as they walked in the open corridor in direction of the door at a great distance from them, the open corridor had only one way to go to that big door, this whole place looked like a cave- a beautiful cave- to the sides of the marble tiles of dark blue tonality there was only water, some rocks were someone could walk with normality, stalagmites and stalactites- inside of the water and in the ceiling of the cave there were minerals that iluminated the room with multicolor lights.

Inside the lake one could see that there were many fishes and crustaceans of a rare and beautiful sight, but what caught her attention were the crabs.

'Mineral Crabs'

Aspecial rype of crustacean of great rareness, the reason why they were so rare was that they were like a little walking mine as on their body appeared different minerals.

Albedo could also remmember that there were a most aggressive- for the enemies- and bigger specimens in the Eighth Floor. There were just 7 of these bigger specimens... but they were all of level 100- thanks to all the supreme Beings- Each one of them carried one of the Seven Prismatic Ores. Albedo remmembers that she heared some of the Supreme Beings celebrating for having founded the eggs of these specimens.

Gul'Dan accelerated his pace so he could open the door, but this time he entered first.

"Gul'Dan, You are late... for our tea time!"

The someone, most probably a male, threw a tea cup to the Uruk, that didn't received any damage from the impact as it had never reached him.

"I'm not late, you idiot, you just have you hand clock damaged."

"That's not true-"

The sound of a Cu-Cu Clock appeared suddendly.

"Now you're late."

The one that had just talked was an skeleton, an Overlord, he was dressed on an elegant black suit... well, it would had been elegant if it not were for those whole on his clothes, his shirt was red, his tie was white and he used a black top hat with a purple ribbon tied on it.

"Now, Now, Samedi-kun, don't tease Guld'Dan-kun for been just some seconds late."

"But, mother-"

"No buts, remmember that we have a lot to do... it's nice to see that you're here, 'Bedo-chan."

Albedo took some steps forward and made a reverence.

"I will always answer to your call as fast as I can."

Her mistress was wearing a light blue dress with a slit on it's left side, and one her hands she was wearing silky white-light blue gloves. She was sitted on the bed carrying an strange egg that also emited this unfamiliar magic.

"Samedi, Gul'Dan, I'm sorry but I would like to stay alone with Albedo for a little while."

The both accepted the words of their creator with a reverence, leaving the two beautiful woman alone... Etherea wanted to go direct to the point, so she said:

" 'Bedo-chan, Do you know how much you mean for the both of us, Ainz-chan and me?

"No, Etherea-sama."

"... After I saw how depressed you were because of me winning our battle, I was guilty for seeing you so sad... So, I convinced Ainz-chan of something... We decided to give you something that you want."

Etherea took a look to the egg.

"Well... Why don't you say hello to yours and Ainz-chan child."

These words were like if someone had just woken her up from a peaceful dream with cold water. Her mask completely dropped- one could clearly see her surprise, even an idiot- as Albedo confirmed the words of her mistress. When she carefully analized the transperent egg of purple, blue and green radiance... she could feel her essence and the one of her beloved Ainz-sama.

Etherea offered Albedo the egg, Albedo grabbed it in an instant without hesitating, and she started to hug the egg, the joy was clear on her beautiful face, Etherea started giggling before saying:

"Calm down, 'Bedo-chan, you will break your child if you keep like that."

This words scared Albedo so she putted carefully on the arms of her mistress.

"T-thank you, Etherea-sama."

Etherea just smiled before saying to the crying beauty:

"Don't worry about that, 'Bedo-chan, but you should also thank Ainz-chan... if you are asking yourself, How does he have a great afinity to this new kind of magic... well, after I fused yours and Ainz's essence and created you child, your little one absorbed the mana crystal and the Wild Magic crystal... your child will sure be someone extremely powerful."

"I have to go and ask what name does Ainz-sama wnat to give to our child! Etherea-sama, Can you come with me?"

"Okay, if that's what you want I will go with you."

Etherea got up from the bed and the both woman started walking in direction to the room of Ainz, one more excited than the other, in the way they asked Gul'Dan and Baron Samedi to take care of the egg while the both womans were not there.

And when they arrived to Ainz's room.

...

Ainz looked at the mirror of the wall, the reflex of his angelical body was what caught his attention.

It was not for boast himself, he was litterally an angel, a Divinity just like Gabriel.

In this form, Ainz has a height of 7.5 feets, his hair was as white as the snow as well as his skin, his hair had a bob cut that covered his both heterochromatic eyes, his left eye was silver while the right eye was violet. He was now wearing a toga similar to the ones that weared the romans or the greek.

The reason to why he was like that was on his right arm. In his right arm there was now a bracelet, but not just any bracelet, a Cash-Item, this item was called [Bracelet of Race Changing].

As one could only change once with a in-game item and you could only have one character, the company made this item, so one could change to the race that they wanted without eliminating their progress with their original character- when someone used this bracelets, one had to create the new appearance of their new form, and this item could change completely one's Racial and Job's levels for all the time that they wanted, one could just unequip this item or just deactivate it's power.

As Ainz didn't wanted to be connected with Nazarick- at least for now, as he had heared that the undeads were just mindless killing machines that just eliminated all trace of life that they encountered- in his disguise as an adventurer he wanted a complete change instead of just using a full-body armor.

He had two other options, the Chaos Lord- a demon- or the Ancient Werewolf. But considerating that his Chaos Lord form looked like a shota version of himself, he discarded that option leaving only one other option.

Strangely, in all of his forms, he felt like a feeling of superiority and calm, like if everything was in the palm of his hand.

A memory appeared on his head, because of this memory he covered his mouth embarrassed with his face completely red. The memory that appeared on his head was the memory of his friend talking about himself making a child with Albedo- an impossible thing considerating that he didn't had anymore a reproductive system, at least in his Overlord body, and the shame of himself doing it with Albedo... he wouldn't be able to look at her anymore, she was technically the child of his friend, Tabula-san.

Ainz's thoughts dissapeared as he heared how his door open, and then...

— You see, in YGGDRASIL, any Lust Empress or Lust Emperor that encountered an angel that didn't had any defense against Mental Control effects- like Ainz right now- the angels would be affected by an effect called [Lust of Love] if the Lust Empress or Emperor wanted it, this effect leaved the full control of the angel to these kind of demon and as Albedo was full of joy, she couldn't control that ability, fortunely there was only one angel in the whole floor right now... unfortunely for Ainz he was that angel.

How is he affected by this, Ainz? May someone ask, well there were some things that were changed of this ability when they appeared in this new world.

The first change was... true love, Albedo did not only loved Ainz because he had written it on her settings- like every single NPC- she also loved Ainz because he had stayed with them the most of the time, and that yet to be born child only increased her love for him. The second change, when someone was in a weak state of mind like if the angel was experimenting great guilt, regret or/and some other similar things, the angel would be weaker to this ability. The third change, this ability mad the angel and the demon enter to a Mantis-like relationship as this ability forced the angel to have... sexual relations with the demon, and at the end the demon would drain all of the life essence of the angel unless the demon had true love for the angel. The fourth change, this ability freed a lot of pheromones from the demon, so the ones caught in the middle of this ability- even if they were not angels or were stronger than the user-... the only affected for this ability were the ones on this room because Etherea had closed it.

In the future, Ainz would not remmember clearly of this event, he would just remmember the faces of pleasure of Albedo and Etherea, their smell, their moans, their kisses and how the both passed out from pleasure before he would pass out from exhaustion.

And in the morning, when Ainz wake up from his exhaustion after two hours of sleep fue to one of his passives as a Divinity, the smell of what they did would be clear, he will woke up in the ground completely naked with a LOT of scratches on his back and when he gets up, Ainz will see the naked body of his friend and the naked body of albedo, the both covered in sweat and some other fluids while between their legs there will be two eggs of considerable size.

...

Demiurge walked through the Ninth Floor of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. The hard soles of his leather shoes clacked loudly against the ground, and the echoes faded away into silence. Many vassals had been set out to maintain security, but they did not impair the mythic atmosphere in this place.

Suddenly, Demiurge looked around, and smiled.

"...Truly magnificent."

The object of his admiration was the entirety of the Ninth Floor. It was a place which complemented the Forty One Supreme Beings, the entities for whom Demiurge would abandon everything and pledge his utmost loyalty. Therefore, Demiurge loved and cherished everything here.

Joy filled Demiurge's heart every time he walked through this place, further reinforcing his devotion to his creators. It was not just Demiurge who felt this way; even the clowns, musicians, and other noisy fellows were awed into silence by this floor, and strove to preserve its quiescence.

Anyone who was not delighted by the sights here, who was not sufficiently loyal to the Forty One Supreme Beings, must surely have "disloyal tendencies."

But the only... being that ruined this beautiful sight was the one on his right side.

"Demiurge, even though I also share your opinion, we still have to ask to Etherea-sama and Momonga-sama who will be going with them for our first interaction with the natives."

Demiurge didn't answered to Sebas, he just turned a corner. His destination was before his eyes, the room of his unquestionable superior, the Supreme Ruler of Nazarick, the last and one of the only two who remained with them, Ainz Ooal Gown... Strangely the both could feel a lot of presences in front of the door while there were three presences inside the room... their lords and... Albedo?

- Why wasn't his little apprendice with Sebas? Well, Demiurge asked Aura to make some of her Dragonkin's have children as well as the dragons that the Supreme Beings summoned, so he asked R4Y-D3N, Gnowee Pi and Ratri Xi to go a watch how the eggs were and inform their situation every hour.

As he approached the room's door, he saw several people in front of the door in a circle while they were whispering, mostly of the maids had red faces except for some of the pleiades- aside from the only ones that weren't present like Gnowee Pi and Ratri Xi- the pleiades, mostly, had a smile on their faces, while Morgana Theta and Yuri Alfa were covering their eyes completely ashamed and with their full face red like a tomato, the most cheerful one was Lupusregina Beta that was cheering... their lord?.

Demiurge and Sebas looked and themselves, and then they walked to see what was going on.

"Oh! Demiurge-sama, Sebas-sama, you have to see this!"

Said in a completely cheerful tone, Lupusregina, the maids opened a passage so they could see what were the maids looking at, their eyes were locked on the orb that was holding Gul'Dan, who had a smile to the side carved on his face.

When they looked what was inside of the orb, a small shade of red appeared on their faces, as they heared Albedo ask for more to their lord as he thrusted his lower part with the lower part of Albedo making a similar noise to the one that appeared when someone clapped his hands, and at the same time he was also kissing their mistress... they were all naked.

In the face of the both, a true smile was carved on their faces.

This was absolutely great! This meant that they would have finally a heir.

"Well, I think that we should leave Ainz-sama, Etherea-sama and Albedo have their private time."

Gul'Dan- and some others- agreed to this while the one that didn't just pouted as Gul'Dan turn off the magical device.

"I should tell the good news to the other Guardians as well as the Area Guardians."

Said finally Sebas as he saw how the others returned to their labors

...

...

A great being opened his eye, awakening from his dream, the eye of the being was not human, it looked more like the eye of a reptile, because indeed, he was a reptile. The being that just woke up was the Dragon whose alias was the Platinum Dragon Lord — Tsaindorcus Vaision — from his light slumber.

He raised his head and looked at the south, even though his view was blocked by the concrete walls that surroundef him, he could still feel it... the nostalgic feeling of—

"Wild Magic."

He could feel it, something or someone was generating the ancient magic of this world, the Wild Magic. He could feel that the power that had corrupted this world for so long was now becoming more pure with each second that passed... like if now the corrupted magic and the Wild Magic were now coexisting in harmony.

He had to check it.

He focused on the power of his soul as he summoned some of the souls that he had collected over the years- in all the years that had passed almost all the True Dragon Lords had founded a effective way to use the Wild Magic that didn't costed as much souls as before, since this power was becoming more and more corrupted over the years. From his body, a green energy started to irradiate the room and then the energy started to took the form of—

A ring.

The dragon grabbed the tiny ring with his claw.

'So I was right... this ring is as powerful as the one that I gave to Rigrit... and I just used a few souls, unlike the objeto one that I used like a million or so... I have to try another thing.'

Using all the souls that he had, he started to create something that he wanted to make since a lot of time ago but as the amount that he needed became larger and larger with each year that passed, he thought that he wouldn't be able to do it, but as the Wild Magic was now so strong, maybe- just maybe- He now could be able to do it.

His energy started to acumulate and took a physical form until he was able to see his creation, a Wild Magic Generator. A green-blue crystal that seemed to have some sort of gas inside of it.

... A success.

While he admired his great job he thought that the others true Dragon Lords had also noticed this, then he looked at his armor.

'I need to talk with Rigrit... I think that she is now an adventurer... maybe we could also go on some adventures like in the old good times.''

The great Platinum Dragon Lord smiles over this thought... then memories of the time when the players hadn't come to these lands appeared in his head, the time where his kin where the rulers of this world, a time where the Wild Magic was so powerful that even the lowest of the beings could be able- with a lot of hard work and the teachings of the Dragon Lords- to use the Wild Magic... a time similar to the present.

... But one thing was sure about this new situation, he felt it in his guts.

Players had come again.

---

(Finally ended it!

Way to nerf my OC xD.

At first I wanted to make a character that were like the counterpart of Ainz- which mostly of the inhabitants of the New World refers to him as the Death itself or the Ruler of the Death- so I created my OC- which represents all Life as she is the top of all living species aside from Demons and Angels- that's why I gave to Ainz that ring... he needed also something to stay in the same level that my OC because of me giving her the Wild Magic- I know that he has lesser Mana Points than 120 but I wanted to also make Ainz powerful, you know.

The theory of why are the players transported to the New World is a theory of a friend that I had been talking to for some days.

Mostly of Etherea spells are supportive for her and her allies... and also she is also a valkyrie like Shalltear.

Also, why I gave to Etherea the Wild Magic... well, I wanted to have some changes and the repercussions of her having the Wild Magic will come for later as you had saw in the last part :)

And yes, references to WoW again.

Was the battle good? I mean, I think that It could had been better but... here it is.

I'm sorry if you didn't like the fact of Etherea gaving the name of Ainz Ooal Gown to Momonga, but I had to do it and that was the only way that I could come with.

Well, What do you think of these new three babies? You can name them if you want, I accept suggestions, as for their races... only one is completely decided, the child of Ainz in his angel form and Albedo, will be a Nephalem- *cough* *cough* Diablo reference... just a little bit I will give this race some changes and as for the others- a child between a High-Class Dragonoid and a High-Class Angel, and a child between a High-Class Undead and a High-Class Demon- you can also name their races.

The whole Lust Empress thing came after I readed a lot of information about Albedo... and I didn't wanted to make her a Nalfeshnee, it was too disgusting, and as she has some Racial Levels on Succubus I though to make her a High-Class one. The Lust part is, OBVIOUSLY, from the seven capital sins, so- as the first demons are technically Fallen Angels- Albedo is technically a Fallen Angel in this fanfiction.

... I'm sorry if the relationship of Ainz and Etherea scalated so quickly but I wanted to do it.

Another thing... Perfect Censure! XD.

Why are they- the newborn childs- eggs? Well, I readed in some parts that the demons were borned from eggs so... there they are, well Dragonoids don't need an explanation, they are like the most superior reptiles so they put eggs instead of the typical pregnancy of the mammals.

Another thing, they are going to born for the next chapter- the most probably- why so fast?... well, they are superior races borned for battle.

Also, if you want you can gave the name of this new nation... just if you want.

The next chapter won't be as long as this- I think- and it will be of their first encounter with natives- the Three monsters and their underlings- and the Carne Village incident.

Also about the conquering of the Abellion Hills... that will be a memory in the future that will replace the volume 7... and yes- nor Ninya nor Arche will die... I know, I'm too merciful- I also wanted to concentrate on the volume 2, which is all centric in Ainz, with some changes- I think that he will also go with one of his kids, most probably the Nephalem one :D

Sorry for the grammar mistakes and how long was the whole chapter.

Bye, have a nice day :D )
