-In an unknown house in the middle of the New World-
In the basement of a dark mansion near the side of a large lake that connected to the sea, we find a few skinny prisoners of different races and genders hanging on the walls in chains as strange symbols were everywhere and were made from still fresh blood. They either groaned or looked helpless with one trying to tug on the chains.
In the center of the room, a large circle with several magical and archaic words and letters on the edges and within a twenty five sided star, was a orange robed figure with long dark hands made of human flesh and wearing a mask of a lizardman on its face. In their hands was a large book with a skull on the front cover with a long black and red scepter floated around them.
"Ugh…" groaned one of the lizardmen hanging from the ceiling. "Damn...human…"
"Be quiet beast, you should be thrilled for what will soon arise." The figure said in a low masculine voice.
"You...are nuts…." Spoke a knight while on the wall. "The church...and kingdoms...will not stand by…."
"Let them come." He spoke coldly. "Once my ritual is complete I shall have enough power to rule this world as the new god of destruction."
"You...will….fail." groaned a woman.
"You…" groaned a man with a missing arm. "Will never….summon the Demon gods…."
The figure chuckled darkly. "Oh I will, and I will use your souls to do so! So says Drak'lka! The Demon Summoner!"
The prisoners groaned while the man opened up the book.
"Kyakat-triakukavzatr!" He chanted while the prisoners started to deteriorate and lose lots of blood as said liquid oozed to the circle.
But outside the mansion, a massive red and black portal started to form before it suddenly exploded and sent a wave of energy all over the world. This shook the area with the man speaking louder and faster.
"Katayakyt-raeakay kalokayakza kitzaxalik-lllakiza!" He chanted while the circle started to glow a bright blue color as black sludge began to ooze out of the floor. "Tazkaata-rrakzaikyawaka!"
The sludge began to rise up and gather together above the man.
"Yes! Come forth the great Demon Gods!"
But that was when something went terribly wrong.
A figure rose from the muck as a woman with long silver hair with two braids on both sides of her head with a blue tassel at the ends of each, pure white skin with a blue five pointed tattoo near her stomach and near her covered crotch, which had a dark blue crotch guard along with two blackish blue muck with gold chains that covered the legs like stockings, a dark blue top that covered her shoulders, the sides of her F cup breasts along with the nipples, neck and hands as her arms were in a choking position with smaller chains keeping them in place. Her eyes were pure pink with a star like gleam to them and on each side of her head was a pair of dark green horns with gold scales on the sides as they curved down once before doing it again to make a double crescent design which reached to her waist as the base of each horn had gold crystals as her long dark blue tail swished from side to side. She looked around as her clothing changed from a dark blue to a blackish color as her top, the braids of her hair, the undersides of her hair, her tattoo, and the sides of her gold scales turned red as the chains also turned black as night. The choke hold grip slowly broke away as her arms became free along with her legs.
"What the? What are you? Are you one of the Demon Gods?"
The figure looked at that man before saying. "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
The man was confused while the woman looked around without stopping.
"Aaaaaa!" It cried out before the horns began to grow and grow until it went behind her as the lower part of the horns started to change into wings, which caused her to float above the ever rising muck. "Aaaaaaaa!"
The bodies on the walls and ceiling slowly began to get covered in the sludge as their bodies began to distort and changed into blackened monsters with two tiny tentacles and four spider like legs near the head with said head being composed of a large mouth that was slanted sideways.
And as for the robed figure, he didn't notice that his skin was becoming obsidian black or that the figure was getting bigger and bigger.
"Who are you!?"
CRASH!
The mansion began to break apart as the screen started to blacken.
(Elsewhere)
-Great Tomb of Nazarick-
Ainz was walking down the hall while feeling utterly, hopeless, absolutely…
Bored to death.
Not literal death since he is a Lich but bored mentally. This was because well….there are SO many low leveled beings in this world and not enough level one hundred beings to have a fighting chance with. This and having nothing better to do made him very bored!
It also didn't help that he had time to think to himself and mull about his former life. Yes while it wasn't the best and he nearly got killed a few times, he still felt like he needed some excitement.
And fast.
'Maybe I should go on vacation?' He thought to himself before seeing Albedo running towards him.
"Ainz-sama! Call the Floor Guardians! Now!"
"Why? What's going on Albedo?"
"There is a being trying to destroy our forces!"
"Is it a human?"
"NO!" She cried out. "IT'S WORSE THAN A BATTALION OF LOWER SPECIES!"
"Well what are you waiting for? Explain."
She nodded quickly. "A report from a lizard man village just came in, something came and destroyed them." She then pulled out a parchment from her chest cleavage. "And this is the only survivor's account before he died."
Ainz took the paper and read it only to see the words, 'Monsters from the sludge! Oh gods! The monster is the end!' near the end of the report. "Has Cocytus heard of this yet?"
"I was about to gather the other Floor Guardians but I need to warn you Ainz-sama first. Now summon them please!"
He raised an 'eyebrow' at this before turning. "Very well, I shall gather them and see what's going on." he held his hand out. "Floor Guardians, come to my throne room at once, do not make me wait."
(A few seconds later)
-Throne room-
Ainz sat on his throne while his Floor Guardians were in his presence while he made sure to activate a magic that can allow him to see the world. "Albedo, tell me where this lizardman's village was exactly?"
"Yes Ainz-sama." She bowed. "He was from the center of the continent, a few miles away from the local coastline."
"Ok." he zoomed in on the vague area. "Any particular landmarks or geographical signs?"
"There was a large mountain near the village, one shaped like a dragon."
Shalltear looked confused about the whole thing before Ainz zoomed in on a certain location.
Which was now covered in a massive lake of black sludge that extended all the way to the sea as a large figure was standing in the middle of it.
"Hmm? What's this?" he zoomed in towards the figure.
The figure came into view as it was a very large draconian woman with a femme fatale body, and it was being accompanied by strange flying creature with purple bodies, large wings, positioned in the shape of a insect, and had only a largemouth in the center of its body, all around it as the muck was starting to spread into other places, including towns and cities.
"Aaaaaaaaaa!" She cried out while 'floating' over the muck and right towards the direction of the tomb itself.
"Lord Ainz, what is it?" asked Demiurge.
"It would an unknown and dangerous being has appeared." he replied before standing up. "Everyone, I don't know who or what this woman is, but what I do know is that their course is to the tomb itself, and it seems to have great power to suddenly show up like this or one of you would have told me already."
"Ainz-sama." Albedo said with a slight gulp. "Should we attempt to reason with it? As long as it's not trying to take you it might be a valuable ally for us."
"If it did then why hasn't it tried to send a message?" Spoke Demiurge.
"He's right, it attacked the lizardmen without hesitation and warning." spoke Cocytus with a frown. "To do so without mercy shows it can't be reasoned with."
"That's not true." spoke Ainz. "Any sentient being can be reasoned, it's merely their choice to do so or not. The fact it did that means it doesn't care for menial lives and may wish to do what I want, to claim the world as its own."
Shalltear looked at the screen before seeing a human village in the path of the being. "Ainz-sama, can you zoom in on that for a second?"
He did so and saw the ooze absorbing a woman before she suddenly started to convert into one of the winged monsters from earlier.
"Aaaaaaa!" The giant woman cried out while the ooze kept on converting people, the young and old, into either monsters or blacken versions of themselves.
"With each new person she touches adds one more to her growing army."
"It's not just people." Said Aura. "But wildlife too, and nature itself is becoming warped."
"W-What should we do Ainz-sama?" asked Mare nervously.
He stood silent for a while before saying. "Ready the forces, prepare a counter strike against this being. We shall bring her to her knees before sending her into oblivion."
"Ainz-sama, I know this is out of line, but….I have an objection." spoke Albedo.
"Huh? What?" He said in surprise.
"I...believe you….should not lead." she spoke making the others turn to her in shock.
"Albedo, as Ainz-sama's second in command, that sounds like an extreme insult to his rule." frowned Shalltear.
"I have good reason! I….I don't want him to perish." she spoke looking down with Demiurge adjusting his glasses.
"Albedo, while I can sympathize with you, none in this world can match Ainz-sama, no matter they be creature or god."
"Look at that!" she snapped pointing at the map. "I know Ainz-sama more than anyone that he is the most powerful being in all of creation! But that...thing! That thing is something else, just looking at it is giving me a dark and foreboding feeling. Don't even try to pretend it's not affecting any of you."
The Floor Guardians stayed silent at that before a knight and a mage on the screen started to come out of the sludge.
"Perish mortals!" The mage laughed. "For none shall defy the will of Tiamat! The goddess of creation and the bringer of the sea!"
"Aaaaaaaa!" The now named Tiamat cried out as Ainz started to recall that name from his past, one that even he would find shocking.
"Tiamat?" Spoke Aura. "What's a Tiamat?"
"An ancient goddess of salt water and life itself." Spoke Ainz. "One that came before the formation of life and of the earth. Her powers came from the sea and in the past she waged war against her children, the gods, in which the head of the rebeling deities split her in half making the heavens and the earth. She is also known as the dragon mother of the sea due to her depiction as a serpent."
"My word." spoke Shalltear. "Have you met this beast in person?"
"No." He shook his head. "Only in a creation legend with the other Supreme Ones, but she is older than humanity itself. A being that loves her children but will create life in her image. To her, anything she didn't create is like a disease to be purged." he replied while inwardly shaking in fear. 'Oh god! Being all powerful was one thing, but how in the world did a real goddess like her end up here?!'
"Aaaaaaaa!" Tiamat cried out while the ooze started to move faster and faster.
"Ainz-sama." Albedo gulped. "Let me lead the charge."
"No." he spoke without thinking.
"Huh?! But Ainz-sama, you can't just fight in the front lines! What if you get turned into those lower beings?!"
"Albedo, do you truly think I would allow that?"
"But-"
Ainz waved his hand. "Just get all your armor and weapons together and make sure you are ready to challenge a deity. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes Ainz-sama." They all said with a bow.
"Dismissed." He said while looking at the orb and kept an eye on the figure. 'Why couldn't it be a hoard of killer bunnies?!'
(Later)
Every Floor Guardian and NPC were getting ready for battle while Albedo kept an eye on the map.
'This being is….is much more than I can handle.' She thought while seeing more ooze converting the people and races into monstrosities of nature. 'If she really is that much of a powerful being, could she be an equal to Ainz-sama? Or even more?'
"Aaaaaaaaa!" The figure cried out while 'floating' towards the tombs, only stopping when it hit a large mountain range. "Aaaaa?"
"Albedo, how is she?" asked Ainz walking into the room.
"She stopped." She said while putting her helmet on. "Right near a mountain range."
"Good, that'll give us more time for me to erect a barrier over the tomb. Anything to push her back from overrunning it will give us a chance to crush her and her army."
"Aaaaaa!" Tiamat cried out before suddenly getting bigger and bigger as she stomped on the mountains until it was a flat plain as the ooze started to cover it like water on the seashore. "Aaaaaaa!"
"Oh no, she...she crushed the mountains!"
Ainz looked at the damages before walking out. "I better prepare the barriers quickly, don't lose sight of her Albedo." 'AHHHHH!'
"This being is something that will push us to our limits." spoke Cocytus sharpening his weapons.
"Agreed." Spoke Pandora's Actor. "But I shall be the one to combat this threat for Ainz-sama!"
Shalltear shook her head while putting the last of her armor on. "Still, I wonder what a goddess blood tastes like."
"If we manage to bring her body back, I can look her corpse over. Perhaps it can be of great use." spoke Demiurge.
"Or it might explode." Said Aura. "Hopefully not that one."
"I-I hope it doesn't turn us into...monsters." Mare stuttered nervously.
'I will do whatever I can to ensure Ainz-sama is safe and sound.' thought Albedo.
(With Ainz)
At this point, he was trying to get a massive barrier erected so the tomb wouldn't be destroyed. All the while getting nervous since this being was stronger than him and had an army that could affect any organism in its path, so he's having a panic attack at the prospect of the dead getting turned into these...things.
'Oh man oh man oh man! I didn't think I'd be fighting something like this! I thought I'd be the only OP person around! Now all of us might get turned into mud people and be mindless servants!' He thought in terror. 'Ok think! What did the Mesopotamian gods do to kill her again….shit! We don't HAVE any world destroying spells or items!'
"Lord Ainz."
He turned. "What is it?"
"Everyone is suited and awaiting your command." bowed Sebas Tian.
"I see." He spoke. "Make sure that everyone is ready to use their full power on a moments notice. This being we face is above the Supreme Ones so be prepared."
"Yes Lord Ainz." he nodded before turning and walked away.
The Lich looked into the distance while feeling a massive pressure in the air that began warping the area around the tomb. 'She's almost here.'
(A few minutes later)
Ainz stood outside with the guardians and all the NPCs with all of them ready and waiting.
And waited.
And waited.
And waited still.
The air was still as the sun began to set in the horizon.
'Where is she? She should have already been here by now.' Ainz thought before one of the NCP's saw the black ooze moving towards the tomb.
"Aaaaaaaaaa! Aaaaaaa! Aaaaa!" Tiamat called out while the winged and non winged monsters came towards the tomb in the millions.
"Everyone! Stand your ground." ordered Ainz.
They all nodded as the ooze went towards the tomb and got repelled by a barrier as the monsters and corrupted races of this world started to look for weak points in the barrier.
"Aaaaaa!" Tiamat cried out while using her fists on the barrier, making it crack with each blow.
"You will not claim dominion over this tomb, or this world! All of you! Attack!"
And so the Floor Guardians and NPS attacked the monsters with their best abilities and powers as said monsters began to wither and become sludge in the sea of ooze. They roared out and tried hitting the barrier, but Ainz held his finger out before firing a huge fireball out that burned several of them.
As for Tiamat herself, she was still punching the barrier as more monsters began to form from the ooze and tried to attack from the air, only to get shot down by CZ2128's sniper rifle.
"Target eliminated." She said while firing more bullets at the monsters.
"Vermilion Nova!" Shalltear held out her hand before a column of flames burst out against the muck.
The muck bubbled and oozed as it started to look like lava as the monsters kept on trying to break through the barrier.
"This is getting us nowhere!" She cursed as she tried again. "Vermilion Nova!"
"Aaaaaaaaaa!" Tiamat cried out while punching the barrier again, only to stop suddenly and raised her foot up. "Aaaaa!"
"Chain Dragon Lightning!" called Ainz holding his hand out before a bolt of lightning flew out in the shape of a dragon towards her. 'I can't let her try anything!'
The magic hit her directly before she stumbled back slightly as her foot was slightly burnt. "Aaaaaaaa!? AAAA!"
"Good one my lord!" spoke Demiurge before raising a hand up as a seal appeared. "Meteor Fall!"
That was when medeors started to rain down from the sky and caused some of the monsters to be destroyed or vaporised.
Tiamat growled before the sludge started to move over her body and towards her wings, slowly starting to form into giant fists in the shape of dragons, as she started to punch the barrier with ten times the force as the previous attacks.
CRACK!
CRACK!
CRACK!
"AAAAAAA!"
"Smite Frost Burn!" called Cocytus before a chilling wind was sent out and hit her.
FREEZE!
And caused the woman to be frozen solid.
'So she can be frozen?' thought Ainz while seeing the muck still trying to overflow the barrier.
Crack….crack...crack….
The body started to show signs of cracking as a dark aura started to emit from the being and caused the very world to feel the power of a being from the void. One of despair, loneliness, and total destruction.
That caused the guardians to feel it which made them stop momentarily.
"What the?" Aura muttered while Victim started to shake in fear.
Crack…..crack…..CRACK!
The ice started to explode from the body as it started to change from a woman to a massive dragon the size of an entire continent, or even more, with large clawed front legs, two tendrilled back legs with red lines going down them, a long tail that swished and destroyed the surrounding mountains, a pair of long feathered wings with red tips and the size of an entire kingdom, a massive Z cup chest under the neck, with the face being that of a woman with a jaw line going all the way down her neck, sharp teeth, long curved horns that went all the way to the back of its body, long hair that went down the face and back towards its spine, and a pair of bloodshot red eyes that looked otherworldly in nature.
"AAAAAAAAAAAA!"
All of the guardians and NPCs looked at it in shock and felt fear, with Ainz though….
'SWEET MOTHER OF KAMI ABOVE!' he thought freaking out. 'THAT'S UNFAIR!'
The monsters around her slowly began to bow to the now dragonic Tiamat as it started to rise up and landed on the barrier.
SHATTER!
And broke it like it was nothing.
"AAAAAAAAA!" She cried out as the muck and monsters flooded the tombs like a plague.
"Ainz-sama!" cried out Albedo while they rushed to stop the muck and monsters. "What should we do!?"
"I….I…" he said in a shaky voice before steeling himself. "We retreat into the tombs, call all undead and inorganic beings to the front lines to defend the outer walls and dungeons!"
"Yes Lord Ainz!" called Sebas Tian while Ainz himself was feeling like an ant staring up at Tiamat.
"AAAAAAAA!" she cried out while the muck started to convert the unfortunate NPC's into monsters or corrupted beings.
"S-Stay back!" cried out Mare forming a barrier around him and his sister who swung her whip and cut several of them in half while Albedo flew around hacking several away with her axe.
"You will not harm MY Ainz-sama!" she yelled while the monsters swarm kept on coming. 'Ainz-sama! Save us from this….monster!'
"AAAAAAA!" Tiamat cried out while Ainz tried to think of a idea to stop this being before it destroys his forces and himself.
'Ok she's a goddess that can adapt to anything we throw at her….wait. I have two possible spells for this but they're super tier. Ugh, as long as I can stop this being, I will endure the backlash!' he thought while seeing some of the muck get close to Shalltear.
"Vermilion Nova!" She cried out while the muck began to rush towards her legs.
Only for a Skeleton Knight that Ainz summoned to grab her and threw her to higher ground.
"Ayi!" She cried out while getting grabbed by Sebas.
"You nearly let your guard down."
She huffed slightly as Ainz started to get ready for one of his spells.
"Move far away! I'm about to finish this deity in one move!"
"AAAAAAAA!" Tiamat cried out while stomping towards the tomb.
"Hear me now beast! I am the great leader of this tomb and world! I claim it as my own! Those who trample upon my will shall be destroyed without mercy! May you know peace, for this is where your time comes to an end!" He called out while magic circles appeared all over him and the being.
"AAAAAAAAAA!"
"Ainz-sama! What are you doing?" called out Demiurge.
"Using my best spells in conjunction." He said as one of his rings started to glow. "Super tier magic: Fall Down! Super tier magic: Wish Upon A Star!"
The magic circles began to glow as a massive pillar of blue energy appeared along with several gold seals around the inside.
"AAAAAAA?!"
"Shooting Star, grant my wish! Destroy her and send her to the depths in which she came!" Ainz yelled while the ring glowed and caused the pillar of fire to turn a bright gold color as Tiamat began to burn along with the sea of muck.
"AAAAAAAAA!" She cried out as the area began to become a smoking crater. "AAAA! AAAA! AAAAAAA!"
The guardians and remaining NPCs braced themselves due to the huge shockwave while Tiamat tried reaching towards Ainz.
"AAAAAAAAA!" She cried out as her body started to turn into a crisp while the monsters and corrupted beings started to slowly ooze back into the muck.
BOOOOOOM!
The aftershock rocked the tombs as all life outside it was obliterated all except for the now normal form of Tiamat, who was starting to glow a gold color and flaked small particles of light.
"Aaaa...aaaa….aaa…." she gasped out while falling down towards Ainz, her form starting to disappear along with her legs and horns, as she crashed down on the stone floor. "Aaaaa….aaaa..."
"You were a worthy opponent." he spoke to her. "I don't know why you chose not to speak, but I do know you will not be forgotten in this world. I swear on my name and leader of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, that you will be known as my most strongest foe."
"Aaaaaa…." she gasped out while her arms started to disappear. "Aaaa…..h-humans…"
"Eh?"
"Why….was I…...forsaken…." she said before her form vanished into a cloud of gold particles that disappeared as well.
He looked at her form before looking at the sky. "Because humans choose to forget those they fear or can't comprehend." he then turned to see his forces walking towards him, tired and looking very sweaty. "Status report."
"The tomb managed to receive minor damage, but nearly half the NPC's were converted."
"And they have been experimented?"
"Yes." bowed Albedo.
Ainz nodded before saying. "During the final moments of Tiamat's death I heard her voice and found out her motives for attacking us."
"And that would be?" spoke a tired Shalltear.
"Fear and want." he spoke. "She viewed all life besides her own as alien, like our kind in the face of humanity. Yet she also wanted to regain her purpose in existence, to be the creator of the ecosystem."
"And she wanted to attack us because….she wanted to be a creator?"
"No, she just wanted to be revered and belong in the cycle of life and death. She is what you call a lost being in search for her place in the world." Ainz concluded. "And as such, we should honor her not as a monster, but a kindred soul. For this is what we stand for, to belong in a world that is ruled by the blind and weak humans that persecute our kind for their fear and need to be better than the rest of creation."
"But Ainz-sama, she was close to destroying not just the tomb but you as well." spoke Albedo.
"Yet would you, in her place, do the same to something foreign to you?" He turned to them all. "Would you all try and destroy what you fear? That my fellow Floor Guardians is what makes Tiamat a tragedy. But know this, as long as I, Ainz Ooal Gown, stand on top of this new world, I shall bring together the races of 'aliens' that lie across the world and bring them under a single banner so that history will never repeat itself as it did with Tiamat. From this day on, she will be not a foe that nearly eradicated us all, but a member of our cause. That is my decree!"
Everyone there were stunned before Pandora's Actor started clapping loudly.
"Yes! That is the correct way Ainz-sama! To glorify a kindred soul such as her! Oh Ainz-sama is the pinnacle of benevolence and mercy!"
"Only a true being could say such strong words of wisdom." spoke Shalltear.
"Ainz-sama." Albedo smiled while blushing madly. "Your words have soothes my soul but ohh, increased the wounds to my heart."
'Crap, now I have a very unstable Albedo.' He thought before walking away. "Now, attend to the reconstruction. And if any of you find anymore black sludge, bottle it up and bring it to me."
"Why?" Spoke a tired Mare.
"So I can create a weapon to commemorate this day and our new deceased member." he spoke before rubbing his chin. "Actually, Cocytus, try and get a statue erected for her as well."
"As you command Ainz-sama." He said with a bow.
'I'm just glad we survived without me freaking out, I thought I was gonna die for good!' He thought while feeling like this wasn't a normal occurrence. 'But how did she come here? And why this world exactly?'
As the camera zoomed away, we find a large red and black portal circling the moon for a few minutes before vanishing in a bust of bright light that obscured the screen as the words 'Soahc' appeared on the white background.
