"Hey Momonga-sama! We logged back in for the final night to say hi, but weren't in the right place. It's like we got moved to another world or something." That voice Momonga thought to himself. It sounded like Bukubukuchagama, but that was impossible!

"Sorry it took us two long months to find you, it felt longer than sixty days though." Was he going insane? He thought he had just been delusional, but he heard her voice so clearly.

"I'm not sure how we are able to sleep in the game, but we haven't been able to find a way to log out! The menu is even gone can you believe it!" Where was she? He couldn't see her, but that was definitely her voice. He almost wished someone else was here to confirm that they heard her as well.

"Touch Me has been totally freaking out, but I can't say I'm not startled as well." That voice! It had to be Bukubukucahgama's, but where? The door to the throne room was cracked slightly, was she waiting outside of it?

"Uhhhhhhhh!?" Momonga was so shocked hearing Bukubukuchagama, that he had completely froze up for just a moment. Although just like always he quickly became calm, and level headed.

"Bukubukuchagama. Is that you? Where are you? I don't see you." Hearing no response back except for a muffled giggle, Momonga began to get angry.

Were the NPCs playing a trick on him? Surely none of the Floor Guardians would be so foolish. Their punishment would be severe!

Momonga losing his patience stomped his foot hard onto the ground.

"Bukubukuchagama! come out now!" Momonga paused to listen for any kind of movement, but it was dead silent.

"If this is some kind of sick joke Pandora's Actor, and you are mimicking my friend's voice! You are going to be punished severely! Now come out! Show yourself!" He waited, but no one came. He had enough. He was about to get up from his throne when he heard her voice again.

"Awwww! Momonga-sama is so cute when he gets angry!" Momonga heard a loud, Smack!

Bukubukuchagama had taken Touch Me's slap by surprise, and was knocked out into Momonga's view, flying between the throne room's massive doors. She had landed hard on the ground with a loud, Splat!

"Damn it Touch Me! That actually really hurt! You jerk!" Lady Bukubukuchagama's voice had some serious bite to it this time, her cutesy tone completely gone. In it's place was her deep chastising voice she used when she was angry, or frustrated.

"Sorry Bukubukuchagama, I didn't think that would actually hurt you. I'm much stronger than I'm used too. Also you were teasing Momonga far too much, you made him angry. You really should learn when to give it a rest." Touch Me said with a laugh.

Momonga couldn't believe his eyes, as Lord Touch Me, also walked into view. Bukubukuchagama was naked of any gear, even clothes. While Touch Me seemed to be wearing some cheap looking, iron equipment. It must have been better than nothing Momonga thought, but it couldn't be very effective.

Although Bukubukucahgama was uncovered, Momonga never saw her actually wear anything before. She was a pinkish colored slime, and it made complete sense why she was never wearing any clothes. She didn't really have anything to cover up.

Reaching down to try and pick up Bukubukuchagama, and apologize, Touch me pulled back his hand in surprise.

Bukubukuchagama had just hissed loudly at him.

"Hit me like that again, Touch Me, and I will corrode all your precious divine gear to dust!" Lord Touch Me, gritted his teeth at the threat. She was only kidding right? His equipment wasn't divine, but I guess it could be considered Divine Tier.

His equipment was specially crafted for the winner of a PvP tournament held in Yggdrasil, which Touch Me had come in first place in. It could not be replaced by anything. He had grown to like the look of the set. He looked like a hero, coming to save the day, and that matched his personality completely.

Now though he was in some cheap armor that looked like he had hastily equipped it. Was that equipment created in the New World? Momonga would have asked, but the throne room doors were thrown open, startling him.

Everyone quickly looked at what was running into the room in such a hurry. Whatever it was, it was making a large amount of noise, and moving pretty fast. Upon focusing on it though, everyone noticed it was Tabula.

Lord Tabula busted into the throne room at a full sprint, and ran up to his friends. Coughing and Wheezing he tried to catch his breath.

"Man!... you guys... move... way too fast, aw... can't we just take it slower... there were a lot of floors to run through!" Tabula looked around with a concerned expression.

"Wait... where is Peroroncino?" Lord Tabula's words sounded completely weak, as he took deep breaths in between them, in an attempt to get air into his lungs. His friends all looked at him with a concerned look.

"What are you talking about? How should we know where he is? You and Peroroncino were together how in the world did you get separated!? Did you both forget the layout of Nazrick? You should both have it memorized already." Touch Me was at a loss, why in the world were they not together?

"No I knew exactly how to get here of course, and it was just running through the last floor that wore me out this badly." Tabula continued breathing heavily. He wasn't used to running at all was he? I'm not even breathing heavy, but I ran the entire way here. Touch Me thought to himself.

"Guys I know you wanted to surprise Momonga, but I literally can't keep pace with you, Touch Me. Your too damn fast! You carried Lady Bukubukuchagama, and rushed ahead to the throne room without me, and I kept getting stopped by Floor Guardians all the way here, and had to explain to them, by myself, that I was trying to surprise Momonga, and they couldn't inform him I was here. Peroroncino kind of just watched me explain it every time... I wish he had backed me up!" Tabula paused trying to catch his breath.

"Wow, no wonder you are out of breath Tabula. That was the most I think I've ever heard you spit out at once." Bukubukuchagama was obviously messing with him, and Tabula caught on to that immediately, and completely ignored her needless chatter.

"It's actually not that alarming though that Peroroncino isn't here yet. I know why already." Everyone looked at Tabula confused, and waited for him to explain it, but Tabula just kind of stood there, panting hard.

Momonga got tired of waiting, the silence was making things awkward. He had decided to help get the ball rolling.

"Cough!" Momonga sarcastically, and loudly coughed, trying his best to break the awkward silence.

"And why exactly is Peroroncino not being with you, not alarming?" Momonga was sure Tabula had just asked where Peroroncino was. Doesn't that mean that somewhere along the way they split up for some reason? Did Tabula think Peroroncino would have beat him here for some reason?

Momonga wasn't sure what it was, but he immediately felt uneasy, about Peroroncino's absence, he wasn't sure why he felt that way. The Great Tomb of Nazarick was their home, after all, and would be the safest place in the New World he thought.

"Perhaps we should go look for him? I will let Albedo know to sweep all the floors immediately!" Momonga thought that was the best course of action.

"Albedo." Lord Tabula cut Momonga off real fast.

"Wait Momonga, you haven't let me explain the situation yet! Don't you dare worry my precious Albedo!" Tabula excitedly waved his hands as he began to try and explain what happened to them.

"Lord Tabula!? Is that you!?" Albedo's voice sounded incredibly surprised to hear here old master speak. Pandora's Actor was currently with her on a mission, and she knew it was impossible for this to be a joke.

Although Tabula was still her creator, she only cared about Lord Ainz now. Tabula didn't mean anything to her anymore. He no longer had control over her. He chose to leave us, she thought. He isn't much of a man.

"Aww man Momonga! You completely ruined the surprise party I had planned! I had a cake made and everything!" Tabula looked so disappointed at Momonga, but Momonga couldn't help but wonder if he was actually being serious or not. He decided not to ask.

He made me a cake Albedo thought? How disgusting! I wouldn't touch a thing he's touched! Albedo thought to herself.

Her anger was showing, and Pandora's Actor was wondering what in the world she was thinking.

"Wait Tabula, you were the one who... You know what it doesn't matter, instead please explain..." Momonga paused to think. "I am sorry for bothering you Albedo. I will let you get back to your task." Before he canceled the spell, he heard Albedo yell out.

"Lord Ainz-sama you could never bother me! My Lord!" His spell faded, and he no longer could communicate with Albedo.

Tabula looked around, and decided now was a good time to explain before they got sidetracked again. He couldn't wait, explaining things was his strong point he thought.

"Okay, so Me and Peroroncino were." He was immediately interrupted by Bukubukuchagama, who spoke in a deep chastising voice.

"Wait stop, you meant to say, Peroroncino, and I were right?"

"Jeez just let me explain Bukubukuchagama, the peanut gallery should stay quiet!" Tabula cleared his throat.

"Anyway! Like I was saying. ME and Peroroncino were both walking at a good pace, to the throne room together right?" Touch Me looked at Tabula with a look of disbelief. No way this has to be a joke he thought...

"You were walking? No wonder you got here so late! Come on man! That does explain why you ran into so many Floor Guardians though. They were just doing their jobs well, and actually sweeping the floors for any signs of invaders!" Touch Me paused to get a breath in.

"Bukubukuchagama and I only ran into a couple floor guardians on the way here, and it was easy to explain it to them. I really don't see how you and Peroroncino could have had such a hard time." Touch Me normally wasn't very confrontational, especially with his friends, but to him this was just completely ridiculous.

"Ahem... Peanut gallery... Quiet... please guys..." Tabula paused. "I am having a hard enough time explaining this too you guys." Tabula seemed to be losing confidence in his speech skills more and more by the second. However in most video games he had played. Tabula always preferred training the speech skill, and maxing it out at level 100. If only he had that skill right now. He could probably even sell a refrigerator to an Eskimo if he had too.

"Yea, we noticed." Lord Tabula was getting tired of Bukubukuchagama choosing to bicker with him, and decided he would just get to the point.

"Okay you know what?" Tabula paused for a second. "I'll just do the short version." Everyone, as quietly as they could, breathed out a sigh of relief. I hope he didn't hear me. Momonga thought to himself.

"Me and Lord Peroroncino were walking right? And we literally ran into every single Floor Guardian on the way here, and although Lord Peroroncino was quick to let me deal with them all myself... As soon as we ran into Shalltear Bloodfallen, he suddenly felt like helping me explain, and he didn't let me even get a single word out! I was so used to it by then I had it totally down. So I left Peroroncino behind, and continued ahead on my own. That way I could inform all the Floor Guardians, and create a huge surprise party." Was he really disappointed that he couldn't explain to Shalltear why they were trying to sneak into Nazarick? I bet he didn't even give Peroroncino a chance to speak earlier! And what did he just say about a party? He didn't get stopped by every Floor Guardian on the way here! He intentionally got caught by them! Touch Me held his hand to his forehead, Tabula was excreting shame at this point, Touch Me thought.

"Oh so he is with Shalltear Bloodfallen then? They probably just got caught up in conversation with each other. He is her creator after all. I doubt Peroroncino could be in any danger. This is our guild after all." Touch Me laughed.

"I can't even remember how many times massive raids were conducted against us. They always failed miserably, we never even got to use most of the traps we created, so it got boring to keep working on them. We also never had to fight, or use the Pleiades to stall them." Touch Me! Momonga thought. He had decided he needed to say something about that.

"Thankfully no member of the Pleiades are here currently, Touch Me. But don't let them know that we only created them to stall enemies out please! I'm pretty sure they would be incredibly offended!" Touch Me let out an "Ohhh" and he paused for a second. "Yea you're probably right. My bad..." Touch Me's words trailed off towards the end, and Momonga nodded.

Bukubukuchagama was being awfully quiet Momonga thought, was she worrying about her brother? Probably.

Bukubukuchagama actually thought out loud. "That idiot is just goofing around like normal. I'm not even worried about him!" She let out a big disappointed sigh, and puffed her slimy body up.

"Are you sure about... that?" Tabula had finished that sentence, but he paused on the last word. Bukubukuchagama started flailing her slimy body around, she was pissed off!

"Ewww! Stop it Bukubukuchagama! You are drenching me in slime! Stop!" Touch Me, and Momonga watched this go down, and didn't even try to stop her. He had it coming they both thought. Some things you should know not to say. Especially if someone is trying their best, to hide their anger. Don't poke the bear Momonga thought.

The news of some of the Supreme Beings returning to Nazarick spread like wild fire. Even the normal maids of Nazarick knew they had returned.

As more and more guardians began to show up, to see what all the noise was about, and if it were really true that the Supreme Beings returned.

Mare and Aura immediately shouted in surprise, upon seeing their creators had returned. Mare and Aura, ran up to Lady Bukubukuchagama. "Lady Bukubukuchagama!" Grabbing her tightly they both squeezed Bukubukuchagama, causing her to let out a startled gasp. It hadn't hurt her, only startled her.

"Ahhh!? What the!?" Seeing that they had startled Bukubukuchagama, they both, with a confused look on their face asked,"Lady Bukubukuchagama? Is something wrong?"

Momonga Immediately understood why Bukubukuchagama was so startled, in Yggdrasil the NPCs, were not advanced enough to interact with their creators anywhere close to this level. Now though the NPCs all had a mind of their own, and could interact all on their own, with no voice commands needed. It took some getting used to for sure.

"It's okay Bukubukuchagama. It startled me at first as well, but you will get used to it." Momonga nodded his head as he spoke.

Looking over at Touch Me, Momonga couldn't tell if he was surprised Sebas had approached all by himself.

Touch Me, seeing Sebas both surprised, and overjoyed to see his creator again, decided to speak. "Hey Sebas, I've missed you and the other NPCs, as well as Momonga, but you know my life was getting way too busy. I really do care about you guys though, and if I could have, I would have stayed with you all until the end." Touch Me wasn't sure how Sebas would react, and his eyes darted around nervously, waiting for Sebas to respond.

Sebas Immediately bowed before him, and spoke, "Lord Touch Me, I am just happy to see you have returned. No matter what difficulties you have in life, know that I will always be by your side." Touch Me's mouth fell open wide. He didn't have to bow before him!

"Sebas you don't have to bow... please stand up." Sebas followed his creators orders immediately.

"Of course, I will keep that in mind in the future." Touch Me hated it when others bowed before him, just because he was one of the top players in Yggdrasil he was always looked up to, and almost worshiped by other players as a God. He knew it was just to show their respect, but it felt like he was degrading those he saved when they bowed at his feet, and thanked him. Momonga was the only one who didn't bow at his feet, and that is why he admired him so much.

Although Touch Me loved helping others, and in fact, following in his footsteps others tolerated the humanoid races far more than they did before in Yggdrasil. They stopped hunting them for fun. He still didn't accept too much praise from others. He had caused a vast improvement to the quality of the players in Yggdrasil, and helped the game stay alive longer, as many players were quitting because of the overwhelming amount of Humans vs other races. Humanoid races were outnumbered a hundred to one, and hardcore PvP players were appalled at the lack of balance, in race vs race wars. Humans won every single time. That was before Nazarick was conquered, and built up nicely. They added traps and even more powerful Floor Guardians started to be created. Nazarick provided a safe haven for many other Humanoid players to flock too. Oh! Touch Me had just noticed he was thinking about the past, and completely ignoring everything else around him at the present. How embarrassing he thought to himself.

Peroroncino came in struggling to move, with Shalltear Bloodfallen hanging lovingly, onto his side. She definitely wasn't going to let go anytime soon. "Sorry it took me so long to get here guys, I ran into Shalltear Bloodfallen, and had to stop to catch up, yah know? These Yggdrasil updates are amazing though! The NPCs are like 100 times better! You will never believe me, but Shalltear actually interacted with me, all on her own! I didn't even have to ask her to!" Peroroncino was looking excitedly at his friends, expecting a look of unbelievable surprise on his friends faces, but upon closer inspection they weren't even surprised even a little bit!

"Yea all the other guardians we ran into also acted on their own Peroroncino.." Bukubukuchagama couldn't believe her brother could be so slow, not only did he get here incredibly late, but also seemed to be slow in the head. Perhaps it was brain damage? Probably was she thought.

"Yea we noticed Peroroncino..." Touch Me was still disappointed in him and Tabula for taking so long to get here.

"Hahaha! I told you he was fine! For being a bird you sure are slow though!" Bukubukuchagama let out a cute, light giggle.

"Hey! Sis! I'm not a bird! I am a bird man! MAN!" Peroroncino's yelling, instead of stopping Bukubukuchagama's teasing, was like throwing gasoline soaked wood, onto a roaring fire. It was not going to stop her teasing, it would only fuel it farther. She was always like this! Peroroncino thought.

Bukubukuchagama looked at Peroronicino, and laughed even harder, as Peroronicino tried in vain, to get her to stop teasing him.

"Come on Bukubukuchagama, stop laughing at me!" Bukubukuchagama quickly responded to her brother. "Okay, but you have to call me by my proper name, Lady Bukubukuchagama please."

"Yea... no... How about you give me a break sis? Your teasing is way worse than normal. It's tasteless." Lord Peroroncino shook his head.

Tabula was the only Supreme Being to not be reunited with any of his creations. He looked disappointed.

"Hey Momonga, where is Albedo?" Lord Tabula sounded sad, and Momonga immediately tried to cheer him up.

"Oh, she is off on an important mission, with Pandora's Actor, they should return shortly. It's not like she didn't want to see you, she just hasn't had the chance yet. I'm sure you are the first one she will visit upon her arrival back at Nazarick!" Momonga said.

"Great! I'm really looking forward to seeing her again. I've missed you all so much, working all this overtime is really bad for my health!" Tabula said with a huge grin on his face. Everyone else could relate to that.

"That was probably, the smartest thing, I've ever heard you say Tabula. I am impressed." Tabula looked really offended by that, and he grabbed Bukubukuchagama, and started flailing her around.

"Tabula stop it! Hey!" Tabula stopped shaking her, and looking at Peroroncino, he could tell he was just about to step in to stop him right then and there.

Uh oh Momonga thought. This could get ugly fast.

"Please don't fight guys, I have a lot to explain. Please listen, I can explain everything that is stressing you guys out. I would have done that immediately, but I was waiting for Peroroncino..." Everyone in the room glared at him as well.

Shalltear looked up at her master with her mouth opened wide. Had she just gotten her master in trouble? How unforgivable!

Peroroncino knew exactly what Shalltear was thinking, and tried to comfort her.

"I know what your thinking, but It was me who took his time, you aren't the reason I got here late I am the reason I did. If that... um makes sense?" Bukubukuchagama thought that was cute, he was trying desperately to protect someone he cared about.

"Yes, Peroroncino." Coughing Momonga tried to get them refocused on him.

Momonga explained their current situation with all of his friends, that they couldn't log out, and the fact that they were in a new world. They all looked uneasy, but that's to be expected he thought. Bukubukuchagama was the most startled of them all at the news, and screamed in protest of her situation.

"Ahhhhh! No way!... OH GOD! Am I going to be a slime PERMANENTLY!?" Bukubukuchagama paused panting she felt as though her little slimy heart was going to explode from the stress.

"Momonga, please tell me you are just teasing us! Please!" Bukubukuchagama just wanted to have her old human body back again.

Mare, and Aura were completely confused at Bukubukuchagama's words, and they didn't understand why she seemed so frightened.

"Bukubukuchagama, you should know that I would never tease about something like this. It's gonna be OK! You are totally a cute little slime! It's not so bad, look at me I'm literally all bones." Momonga tried his best to calm Bukubukuchagama down, and let out a hearty laugh.

"Yea that's easy for you to say! You are just a skeleton, but look at me!" With a slimy tentacle she pointed at herself. "I'm Hideous!" Bukubukuchagama's voice lost its cuteness, replaced with the ear grating voice she used when anyone made her angry at them. When Bukubukuchagama was unhappy, you knew right away.

"Please calm down Bukubukuchagama! We don't know if it's permanent or not, but this isn't helping anything!" Momonga didn't know if he would be able to calm his friend's worried heart.

"It will be okay big sis, you look fine to me. Actually have you been hitting the gym lately? Because you've lost a lot of weight!" That was Peroroncino's best effort to calm Bukubukuchagama down, and it was completely ineffective.

"That actually just pissed me off even more! BROTHER! Say one more thing, and I will tell your friends exactly how many times I walked in on you. Rubbing a quick one out!" Peroroncino blushed, as well as Shalltear. His mouth dropped wide open, he would die! He would die of embarrassment right here and now! It was over!

Shalltear smiled wide at her creator! Oh how she longed to see that as well.

"SHE WAS JUST JOKING GUYS! IT WAS A JOKE! RIGHT SIS?" Oh, this was certainly getting out of hand Momonga thought, they had gotten completely sidetracked now.

"No, I always thought it was adorable though. How he would just freeze up when I walked in. It didn't matter how fast or hard he was beating his meat, in the end he never finished when I walked in! Hahahahahaha!" Peroroncino's health would be in the red from his sisters assault. Why was she being so cruel today?! Did she think they were really still in the game for these two long months?

They could taste food, they could see each other's expressions clearly, and didn't need to use any emoticons. They had no menu anymore, and no way to check their health, or mana, but somehow they could tell how much of each they had left. Whatever this New World was, it was far too real to be a game. Was he dreaming? This was just a nightmare right? But I can still feel pain! It's not a nightmare right?

"SIS! SHHHH! SHHHHHHHHHHH! I GIVE UP! I SURRENDER!" Peroroncino was going to die of embarrassment, his sister never even tried to knock, she would just barge in, and she was always cracking jokes about it to their parents. They would always reply the same way. He is just at that age. Oh How embarrassing Peroroncino thought.

All the NPCs were looking just as confused, as Mare, and Aura were. To them Lady Bukubukuchagama had always been a slime. None of them knew what to say to make her feel better, and Mare, and Aura were racking their brains trying to put together the pieces of this puzzle. What did Bukubukuchagama mean when she said, Am I really stuck as a slime forever!? And what did she mean when she said Peroroncino beating his meat they wondered? That wasn't a phrase they were familiar with.

"I... I need more time, to take all of this in. Momonga, I'm going to return to my chambers, and sleep this off." Bukubukuchagama let out a fake forced yawn. He knew she wouldn't be sleeping any time soon. They did have certain items that could cause sleep though, perhaps he would give one to her later.

"Oh course the rest of you should probably get some sleep as well. It's late isn't it? You are all probably tired right?" Momonga said while tapping his throne.

All of the Supreme Beings began to walk to their private quarters, they still didn't have their rings, and couldn't teleport yet, but they all knew how to get there.

Momonga was left all alone in the throne room, except for some Floor Guardians that were standing to attention.

"Sebas, Cocytus, Demiurge, you guys are dismissed for today. I have no further tasks for you, please enjoy yourselves." Nodding their heads, they all stood up, and walked out of the throne room. Although Sebas would not bow in front of his master, Lord Touch Me. He would still bow in front of Momonga out of habit, and he noticed that as he got up.

"Oh... old habits die hard. I guess." Momonga could hear their footsteps walking down the hallway.

Finally being alone by himself, got Momonga thinking. Man... I'm so embarrassed, I couldn't bear to even use the name Ainz, in front of my friends. "Damn it, what am I gonna do! I'll have to gather everyone together, and explain that they now should call me Momonga again instead of Ainz Ooal Gown." Momonga mumbled this to himself.

I feel bad for Peroroncino, having your sister say something like that, is slander at best, and devastating at it's worst. Was it really true though? Did she often catch him in the act? He should have locked his door, Momonga thought.

The rest of the Supreme Beings had gone to sleep for the night, and each of them, were surprised by how well kept their rooms were. They must have been cleaned often they thought.

Momonga couldn't help but feel lonely, all alone, in such a spacious empty room.

Man I wish I could still sleep, it's actually annoying to have to be thinking all day long! My body may not be tired, but my mind is totally shot! Today has been way too hectic I had gotten used to being alone. But I am still glad my friends are back. Momonga decided to retire to his room, and laid down on his bed.

"Hmmm, that perfume is even stronger today, It smells really good, but it's almost overpowering me." It's kind of strange that the smell is always more powerful later in the day, Momonga thought. Why is that? The maids normally cleaned things first thing in the morning. Actually it looks kinda like someone was laying on my bed before I did... Actually I'm sure I'm just imagining it.

Although Momonga could not sleep, just being able to lie down, and have some peace and quiet to himself, helped rest his weary mind.

"Lord Ainz-sama! We have returned! Master? Are you in there? My Lord?" He knew that voice, it was definitely Albedo's.

Oh come on! I was just about to clear my mind! Momonga thought to himself. No I can't be rude, he thought. she has been working really hard for me.

"Yes Albedo, you can come in." Opening the door gently, Albedo walked in, and bowed before Momonga.

"Lord Ainz-sama, our mission was a success, we have recruited many adventures interested in mapping the New World." That is great news Momonga thought! That was very important, and Albedo had just sealed the deal.

"That is great news Albedo! Good job! I knew I could count on you." Huh? Albedo's stare got pretty intense after he finished his sentence he thought. Did he say something weird?

"AWWWW! Lord Ainz-sama! You are too kind! I would do anything for you! Anything! Anything you desire, anything you need Lord Ainz-sama!" Albedo let out a surprisingly cute giggle, but it didn't matter since her eyes looked far too intensely at him.

Oh no, I have gotten her riled up again! Momonga thought. "Albedo you are dismissed for now, I have no other tasks for you today, please do as you wish." Albedo nodded, and opened his room door gently again. She looked back and smiled wide as she walked out.

Momonga finally had some piece and quiet too himself, and tried to think about everything that happened. He could hear heavy breathing from the other side of his door, and felt as though he was being watched. Was Albedo still there? Surely not.

Aww man, I can't rest like this! Momonga thought. I have to know! Momonga got up, and opened the door far more forcefully, than he had meant too.

Bang! He had just nailed something with the door, and looking out he apologized quickly upon seeing Albedo holding her forehead.

"Ohhh Albedo! Sorry! I didn't know you were still here! Did you need something?"

Albedo got up, brushing herself off, she grabbed a rag, as she began to explain, that she was trying to clean a spot on his door, the cleaners had missed, as she pointed to a big black smudge where the paint had been damaged.

"It's unbelievable that they would miss such a big smudge! I will punish them later, Lord Ainz!" But wait? That smudge wasn't there before he thought to himself.

It was obviously caused my Albedo taking a hard blow to her forehead. He decided not to mention that part to her though, and instead decided to retire back to his room to rest. Laying down he sighed.

Momonga kept hearing something behind the door, one hour later it seemed Albedo was still cleaning! He heard strange noises coming from the other side of the door, and getting up asked Albedo "Is everything okay Albedo? You really don't have to go through so much trouble. I can get someone else to fix it."

"Yes my Lord! Everything's fine! I'm just making sure the door is spotless, and worthy of a Supreme Being such as yourself." Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! A constant, ear piercing, rubbing noise kept coming from the other side of the door, and Momonga wasn't sure what to do about it, he just wanted some peace, and quiet, but Albedo seemed dead set on cleaning the door to his private quarters. He couldn't just tell her to stop now. It was too late.

Finally Momonga got up, and spoke. "I am going to open the door, watch yourself please." Opening the door he saw Albedo on her knees, and the black smudge on the door completely gone, the entire door glistened in the light of the hallway. Wow no way! It's completely Spotless! Momonga was stunned by how much hard work she put into it. She didn't just clean the smudge, but completely polished the entire door.

But wait? She didn't have any liquid to clean the door so thoroughly with? Did she?

"Albedo, where is the cleaning solution that you used?" Albedo smiled with a smile full of pride.

"I used something special, just for you Lord Ainz." Huh? Something special? He didn't want to know what it was anymore. Best not to ask her.

"Ahhhh... I see, something special, of course." Momonga paused to get his thoughts together.

"Good Job Albedo, the door looks far better than before." Albedo flapped her wings playfully, as she looked adoringly at Momonga.

"Oh Lord Ainz-sama! It was no problem at all! If you need anything else feel free to ask me! Anything at all! ANYTHING!" Albedo's eyes were filled completely with lust.

"Khaa!" Momonga didn't notice he had let out an odd gasp. Oh no that look of lust in her eyes, its the same as before, when Albedo had forcefully pinned me down! If she pins me down here, I am not going to be able to get her off. The strength difference between us is far too much, and it's not like I can just blast her with a spell to get her to let go!

"No, NO! you have done enough tonight, Albedo. I wouldn't want to keep you any longer than I already have! You are dismissed!" If Momonga could still sweat, he would totally be sweating bullets right now.

Albedo stood there starring at Momonga, as though she hadn't even acknowledged what he had just said to her. With an intense look in her eyes, she stared directly at his. It looked like she was being punished.

"Actually Lord Ainz-sama... I was wondering if you were lonely. I could lay with you... if you want! I am ready MY LORD!" Albedo had an insanely intense look in her eyes, as her pupils dilated.

"Awww!?" Momonga's mouth dropped wide open. He was thrown like a rag doll, all the way back to his bed, and was forcefully pinned down, by Albedo. The door slammed shut behind him.

"NO! THAT'S OKAY GET OFF NOW! ALBEDO!? DID YOU HEAR ME? I SAID GET OFF!" Albedo was completely absorbed in her lust, and had already started to dry hump him.

No this is so awkward he thought. If Tabula walked in now... he would kill me for sure!

"Albedo! Get off! Stop this! Hey! Albedo!" I can't move she is way too strong! Wait what is she doing!? Is she doing what I think she is!? Oh God!

"Oh Ainz-sama! Please just give me what I want already! I've been a good girl! haven't I?! Lord Ainz-sama! I want something special just for me! I want you to impregnate me! I am prepared to bear your first child! My LORD AINZ-SAMA!" Albedo had completely lost her senses, and Momonga felt hopeless in this situation. He just wasn't strong enough, and no one seemed to hear him, or Albedo.

Momonga struggled to break free, but it was no use. He wasn't a warrior, but instead focused on spells, so he had weak strength, compared to fighters his own level. "Oh! Ohhh! Yes! Lord Ainz-sama!" The door to his room was thrown open. Shalltear Bloodfallen, and Demiurge both rushed into the room.

"What is wrong Lord Ainz!?" They both saw Albedo on top of him, holding him down. How disgraceful! Shalltear thought.

"Get off him Albedo! He doesn't want that! You are forcing yourself on him!" Shalltear sounded pissed, and her voice pierced Albedo's ears, but she ignored them.

"Okay... have it your way. We will just have to force you to let go." Demiurge wasn't amused.

Albedo was quickly pulled off by a combination of Shalltear Bloodfallen, and Demiurge.

"Albedo what do you think you are doing! You ape! Forcing yourself on Lord Ainz!" Shalltear Bloodfallen let out a loud hiss.

"I have to agree Albedo you shouldn't let your emotions, and desires, overpower your judgement." Demiurge still looked annoyed.

Albedo's eyes darted angrily at Shalltear, and Demiurge, but she got up, and left the room, apologizing to Momonga on the way out. "I am sorry for my actions, Lord Ainz-sama."

"No Albedo, It was... my fault. Thank you for your hard work today." Whew he thought, he must have incredible luck that they had walked by when they did.

With that she had courteously, and calmly, gotten up, and walked out of his room. This isn't good at all! Momonga thought to himself, Last time I had a hard time getting her off me, but this time I was completely helpless!

If Shalltear, and Demiurge hadn't been nearby, I would have to explain this to Tabula! I still feel terrible changing Albedo's personality, to love me. Even if it was just meant for a little fun, before the servers closed down. I warped, and twisted what my friend, Tabula had gone through great lengths to create. I have to tell Tabula about what I've done! Momonga thought to himself.

Accompanied by Shalltear, and Demiurge, Albedo came back, and with a complex emotion on her face spoke to Momonga.

"Lord Ainz-sama, I haven't seen any of the other Supreme Beings yet. Is it true, did they really come back? Why haven't I seen them yet?"

"I would also like to know, Lord Ainz." Demiurge looked especially excited at the news. "I was busy earlier, but now I see I missed a lot of good news. Has Ulbert returned as well? I didn't see him." Momonga shook his head.

"No as far as I know Ulbert has not returned." Demiurge frowned, but nodded in an understanding way.

"Hey I'm not lying! The Supreme Beings really did come back! Remember Albedo. You heard Lord Tabula through Momonga's message spell." Shalltear was annoyed, that they didn't believe her, and narrowed her eyes at them both.

What?! Just hearing Lord Tabula's name pissed Albedo off, but this Lamprey was listening in on their conversation? How annoying.

"Four, of the Supreme Beings have returned, to my knowledge. Bukubukuchagama, Tabula, Peroroncino, and Touch Me are all back with us." Momonga quickly explained.

Why had some of the Supreme Beings returned? Albedo thought. Did they really, just think he could waltz back in, and take back up their potistions as Supreme Beings after abandoning them? How unforgivable, Albedo thought to herself. COWARDS! She thought.

Momonga couldn't put his finger on it, but something about Albedo's expression was off. Shouldn't she be happy to hear her creator's return confirmed? He thought.

"Are you okay Albedo? I know it's a lot to take in, but you seem displeased about something." Momonga glared into Albedo's eyes, and waited for her response.

"I'm fine. Please excuse me, Lord Ainz-sama." Albedo left the room quickly. That wasn't normal for her to do at all, normally she wanted to stay with Momonga as long as possible.

"Please excuse me as well, Lord Ainz-sama. I have important work I was in the middle of before Albedo interrupted it, with her... eagerness."

"Very well Demiurge, you are excused as well." Really he didn't even need to ask, he had just saved Momonga, and Momonga was very grateful.

Something wasn't right with how Albedo acted there... I'm not sure what, but something seemed off to me. She is acting far too abnormal after hearing about her master returning. Perhaps she is just anxious to see him again? No if she wanted to see him, she would have went to his room, not mine. Momonga was in deep thought, about Albedo's sudden abnormal behavior. It was very noticeable to him, and was alarming, but would she really plotting something nefarious? No, she has just been overworked he thought.

As Albedo stepped out into the hallway, she mumbled inaudibly to herself, "The Supreme Beings, they will pay for abandoning Lord Ainz-sama. They can't just come back, and act like everything is fine! Lord Ainz-sama is the most supreme of all beings. Only he can stand at the top of this world!" In Albedo's eyes was an intense hatred! A look that could kill!

Demiurge was walking past Albedo, but couldn't make out what she had just said. It just sounded like angry mumbling to him. He had noticed the unsettling look in her eyes as well.

"Hmmm.. Is everything alright Albedo? You look troubled. Unlike me your creator, Lord Tabula, has returned. You should be grateful." Albedo scowled at him. Don't say his goddamn name she thought! I hate hearing it!

"Oh of course, sorry for worrying you. I was just thinking about something I really dislike is all." After talking with Demiurge, Albedo hurried down the hallway, and around the first corner.

Demiurge walked back into Momonga's room. "Lord Ainz-sama, I think we should investigate Albedo's behavior. It was quite unusual. I'm sure she is just tired." Momonga nodded. If Demiurge thought it was strange, perhaps they should look into it.

"Very well Demiurge, you can get back to your work. Thanks for sharing your thoughts." Demiurge nodded, and calmly left the room.

"Solution, Shalltear. I have a task only you two can do for me! Please come to my private room. I will be waiting for you both." Oh wait... I actually worded that really really poorly! Momonga thought to himself. Is it too late to change that command? He had decided he would quickly explain himself better, but someone already slammed his door open excitedly.

No way Momonga thought! They are already here!? I literally just summoned them!

"Ohh, what is it Lord Ainz-sama?" Shalltear paused, and smiled wide at him as if understanding what he needed her to do already.

"Is this where my first time will be?!" Shalltear looked excited, she was completely ready to be deflowered, and was already removing her clothes, without Lord Ainz even answering her question yet.

Solution joined in with a sadistic smile on her face, and offered herself to Momonga as well. "Please! Do what you wish with me! Lord Ainz!"

"Khhaaa!" He let out that same gasp of surprise again! Momonga couldn't believe it. " No! I have an important task, only you two are capable of." Thinking about what he had just said... That didn't really sound much better than before did it? Shalltear continued slowly stripping down. She needed just a bit more time to prepare for Lord Ainz.

"Wait! Shalltear! Don't remove those yet! I mean keep your clothes on!" Shalltear finally caught on that this was not what Lord Ainz wanted. Was she acting too easy? Perhaps he wanted her to force herself on him? Shalltear blushed incredibly hard.

"Albedo... has been acting strangely. Please follow her, I'm sure she probably isn't doing anything nefarious, but just in case... Make sure she doesn't notice you're tailing her, or you failed this task!" Shalltear, and Solution both replied together, "Of Course Lord Ainz-sama!"

Walking out into the hallway, Shalltear looked incredibly disappointed, that her attempt at becoming his first wife had failed yet again.

"Don't worry Shalltear, there is always next time. He will eventually lewd us both." Hey I heard that Momonga thought to himself! No I will Not!

Shalltear called her vampire brides too her, and they used a powerful cloak to try and conceal their presence. As long as they didn't move while cloaked, no one could see them. However if they moved too much, or were blocking someone's path, and collided with them. They would be exposed temporarily. This was a very dangerous thing to use properly.

Pandora's Actor was just down the hall, and around the corner, and whispered as softly as he could manage, "Is it time to put our plan into motion Albedo?"

Their plan into motion Shalltear thought. What did he mean by their plan? Lord Ainz's plan to conquer the world perhaps? No it was probably a surprise party they were planning she thought.

With a sadistic smile on her face, Albedo whispered softly, "You should know I'm not even going to answer that here. Let's go get stuff ready at the treasury."

Wait? Did Lord Ainz give them permission to enter the treasury? And why did they need to go there? Do they even need permission to enter, since Pandora's Actor guards it normally? Shalltear wasn't sure.

Walking to the treasury, Albedo waited out front, accompanied by Rubedo. "We will take a couple World Class Items, and Divine Tier equipment. As a last resort, If we fail we will activate that item." Pandora's Actor looked at her unsure of what she had just said.

"Are you sure that would be necessary that could cause a lot of havoc." Albedo nodded

"It's nothing but a last resort, don't think too hard about it. We probably won't have to use it with Rubedo's help." Pandora's Actor nodded.

Suddenly, Shalltear was softly pushed just a little bit to the side by something. Behind her she saw Rubedo pass by her closely, if she was standing even just a foot more to her left, she would have completely blocked Rubedo, and been exposed when they collided.

Hmmm? Did I just run into something? Rubedo looked around confused, but Albedo got her attention.

"Hey Rubedo, we need to hurry sister. We have to take them by surprise!" It was a surprise party wasn't it?

What is Rubedo doing here though? That raised a red flag for Shalltear. She isn't supposed to leave her Floor... I will report this too Lord Ainz immediately!

Shalltear, and Solution both waited for them all three to enter the treasury, before coming out of the shadows, and walking around the corner. With a grim look on their faces, they immediately headed for Momonga's room. On the way, they walked past Victim, who stared at them curiously. Before calmly continuing on his way without saying a single word.

Shouldn't Victim be on his floor? Shalltear thought. Well maby not Lord Ainz did allow it to wander around a lot didn't he?

"Lord Ainz-sama! We followed her just like you asked, and did not get caught. We have some strange things to tell you about. They were going to surprise the Supreme Beings, from what we could understand." Momonga looked at her.

It could just be a surprise party he thought. "What was so strange about that? A lot of people are happy my friends have returned. It's probably just a surprise party they are planning.

"Ainz-sama, We noticed some strange interactions, but nothing incredibly alarming. Rubedo was just walking down the hallway, she was not guarding her floor like she should be. Did you give her permission to leave her floor?" Certainly I did not! Momonga thought.

"No I did not tell her she could freely move around Nazarick. But I had given control of her to Albedo, since she really wanted her for a Supreme Being search squad, and since they were sisters I didn't want to deny her."

"There is also something else, Momonga. Rubedo, Pandora's Actor, and Albedo had all entered the treasury." Now that did seem incredibly alarming to Momonga!

"Pandora's Actor guards the treasury, that's his duty, but Rubedo shouldn't even have a guild ring. How did she enter?"

"I saw she had a guild ring on her finger. I assumed you gave her it Lord Ainz-sama. They did however, mention they were going to need some Divine equipment, and some World Class items from the vault. I assume you gave them permission to use them right?" Momonga's mouth dropped wide open. "No!"

They went in without my permission, and were taking dangerous World Class items, as well as Divine equipment from the vault. That is sketchy, but it doesn't prove they are up to no good.

"No I did not. I actually believe World Class items are dangerous to Nazarick. They could be misused." Momonga was pondering this, perhaps he should go to the treasury and confirm this himself. He needed to get his friends gear from there anyway. Might as well go now he thought.

All their guild rings, and personal equipment he would bring them all it.

"Shalltear, Solution, if you two don't mind, can you help me carry some of the Supreme Beings gear. It's too heavy for me to carry by myself." Shalltear, and Solution both immediately responded. "Of course Lord Ainz!" With that, they both followed him to the treasury, and he sent a message to every Floor Guardian except Albedo, Rubedo, and Pandora's Actor stating. Please come to the throne room immediately, and wake up all the Supreme Beings and bring them there as well. This is important.

All the Supreme Beings were woken up, and escorted to the throne room, and they all sighed and groaned. "What could Momonga possibly need at a time like this." Touch Me yawned.

"I need my beauty rest! Momonga! Hey.. he isn't even here?" Bukubukuchagama just wanted to sleep.

Shalltear Bloodfallen was fully equipped, and staring at Lord Ainz in confusion. Why did they have to wait for someone to bring them guild rings? Can't they just enter the treasury with Momonga? Momonga noticed her confusion, and decided to inform her about it.

"You have to possess a guild ring, or you cannot enter the treasury. Aureole Omega, blocks any direct teleport into the treasury. Only rings will work. She can also block or redirect a teleport as she pleases. If she wanted to she could teleport you into a solid wall, or even into lava. However she usually just imprisons them in a closed space." Shalltear had not known anything about her. She knew she controlled the teleport gates, but not to what extent she controlled them, but she sounded very powerful.

"Oh I didn't know that Lord Ainz." Momonga handed her a guild ring, and Shalltear excitedly placed it on her ring finger.

It quickly resized itself, and she thought it was a beautiful present for her! She had just gotten wet from the gift Lord Ainz had kindly given her! Shalltear was excitedly mumbling to herself. "This is almost the same as Lord Ainz deflowering me himself! He has taken me to be his wife for sure!" Uh Oh...

Awww crap! This is really bad! Momonga thought. She is totally misunderstanding me again!

"Uhhh... Girls I'm going to teleport to the treasury now." Shalltear, and Solution quickly replied. "Of course Lord Ainz-sama."

They all used their rings, to teleport into the treasury, and began to make their way to his friends gear, and surely enough he ran into Rubedo, Albedo, and Pandora's Actor, but they also had Victim with them. Noticing Momonga, with Shalltear, and Solution, Pandora's Actor approached them.

"Lord Ainz-sama, did you come to get your friend's equipment? We can help you carry it if you want?" Pandora's Actor, Albedo, and Rubedo all looked at him.

"Yes Lord Ainz-sama we can carry it for you. A Supreme Being such as yourself shouldn't have to dirty his hands." Albedo looked at Momonga. She was so serious right now.

"Yes, actually I probably should have gotten it earlier." Momonga was incredibly nervous. His undead passive didn't make him immune to emotions it just effectively suppressed them as they came. Finally he calmed down, and his undead passive took over.

"I really don't mind carrying my friends gear myself, thanks for the offer though. As you can see I already have Shalltear, and Solution here to help me." Pandora's Actor stared at Momonga for a second before responding.

"Lord Ainz, such a task is beneath someone as Supreme as yourself. Leave this to us. We will give them their equipment for you." Pandora's Actor was being insistent that he allow them to carry his friends gear. Why did he want to carry it to bad?

"Oh no! that is fine! All I have to do is teleport with my ring! Thanks for the offer though!" Momonga was trying to be as cautious as possible, he would be annihilated, if they all attacked him here. Man Rubedo alone could slaughter me, Momonga thought to himself.

After getting all of his friends equipment, and as he was getting ready to use his guild ring to teleport to the throne room. Pandora's Actor stopped him.

"Are you sure Momonga? You seem to be struggling quite a bit carrying all that equipment. I wonder why didn't you, just bring them all to the treasury?" Pandora's Actor was intelligent, but Momonga was at a loss of words. What he had said made perfect sense. It was over they knew something was up.

"Well. Let me ask you this then." Momonga glared at Pandora's Actor, and Albedo with his soul piercing bright red eyes. "Why are you all three in the treasury. What task do you have that required this? You are not allowed to take things as you wish from the treasury without my permission, but I will allow it only this once. Now tell me why you need divine gear, and World Class items?" Albedo looked uncomfortable. Normally his gaze didn't bother her. Maby he had ruined the surprise they had for him? Perhaps they were just trying to plan out a massive party for the returning Supreme Beings?

"Sorry Momonga." Pandora's Actor said. "We had taken the initiative, and assumed you would be fine if it helped protect Nazarick." That didn't really answer his question at all though. Their task was to protect Nazarick? I can't keep talking with them this is sketchy, but they wouldn't just tell me they were up to something nefarious.

"I really have to go now sorry. I don't have time to chat more." Albedo, Rubedo, and Pandora's Actor all bowed in front of Momonga. "Of course Lord Ainz-sama." Man that was close Momonga thought. Victim alone could have seriously messed us all three up. I don't even know how many different debuffs that little monster gives. Wait.. Why am I thinking about this? They wouldn't attack me right? I was in no danger...

"Okay Shalltear, and Solution teleport now. They all three teleported to the throne room together, and actually startled Lady Bukubukuchagama, and Tabula who were bickering like usual. They had just teleported right behind them, and spooked the hell out of them.

"Wow! Hey Momonga! Don't just quietly creep up on us like that! Are you trying to give me a damn heart attack?" Letting out a long yawn Bukubukuchagama waited for his response.

Momonga looked at the ground with a defeated look, "I have your gear here, please equip yourselves, and make it fast." Bukubukuchagama looked at him, and sighed. Why was he acting so serious?

Demiurge looked troubled, and spoke to Momonga.

"Lord Ainz-sama, is something Wrong?" Momonga didn't know what to tell him, he didn't want to scare his friends, especially if this was just them trying to throw a surprise party or something, and nodded his head. Demiurge began to bow in front of Momonga, but Touch Me stopped him.

"You don't need to bow anymore please. If you don't mind could you stand?" "Oh course Lord Touch Me." Demiurge replied.

"So Lord Ainz, if you are ready, can you tell us why we were called here?" Cocytus let out a gust of air.

"I just wanted to make sure everyone was safe." Everyone looked at him with a concerned look.

"What do you mean by make sure everyone was safe Momonga?" Bukubukuchagama wasn't going to let that slide. There was something he hadn't told them yet.

"It's... It's nothing really. Forget I said anything please."

"Hmmmmm... You are hiding something from us but what?" Touch Me had just added his two cents to the conversation.

"It's nothing." Momonga replied. He didn't have any concrete evidence to present to them, just his suspicions.

"This doesn't have anything to do with Albedo does it Lord Ainz-sama? Call it my intuition, she seemed troubled earlier today." Demiurge hit the nail right on the head Momonga thought to himself. This guy was way too smart for his own good.

"Lord Ainz-sama? Who is that? His names Momonga, it's Lord Momonga-sama, to you! I've been ignoring that up until now, but I don't like you all calling him Lord Ainz, what does that even mean? Does it have something to do with our old party?" Lady Bukubukuchagama seemed angry and confused at them using a name she wasn't familiar with to address her friend.

"Sorry it's completely my fault Lady Bukubukuchagama. I can explain." Bukubukuchagama spoke to him "I'm listening."

"I changed my name, to Ainz, to pay tribute to our old party we started, and I also thought it might help you guys find me, if you heard of the mighty Ainz Ooal Gown. I can change it back, but that's how all of the NPCs address me now." Momonga let out a sigh.

Tabula had looked upset ever since Demiurge spoke about Albedo. His fists were clenched incredibly tight, and he shook with anger.

"Hey Demiurge, what are you trying to say about Albedo? She would never be a threat to Nazarick's safety! She would never hurt us! Why would you even insinuate that she did something to harm our safety!?"

"I apologize Lord Tabula, I'm sure that was just my imagination. Please forgive my foolishness." Tabula nodded "Yea alright whatever." He was obviously still upset.

Touch Me, Peroroncino, Tabula, and Bukubukuchagama had all just finished reequipping all of their gear.

"Wait! Momonga! I don't see Mare, or Aura! Did anyone else see them? Maby they are just late, but I have a bad feeling about this." Lady Bukubukuchagama's voice sounded off it was different than usual.

"Hey calm down Bukubukuchagama, We can search for them together." Momonga shook his head.

"No you can't. I can't let you put yourselves in danger!" Tabula lashed out at Momonga with a viciousness he hadn't seen in him before.

"I've had enough! What are you hiding from us!? Why are we in danger Momonga!? Speak!" Momonga had to tell them, there was no other way to protect them.

"It could be dangerous." Touch Me was now also upset with Momonga, and grabbed him by the shoulder.

"It could be dangerous? That's not what you sounded like Momonga, not at all. You were certain of it, certain that if we left here we would be putting ourselves in danger, but why? Just tell us Momonga. We all can't react in the best possible way to protect everyone if we don't even know what the threat is!" Touch Me was right he thought. He was the only one among them who could get kind of touchy sometimes. He often grabbed someone's shoulder if he really wanted them to answer him honestly. It's hard to lie to a guy when he is looking you straight in the eyes, and showing a friendly gesture.

"Albedo, Pandora's Actor, Victim, and Rubedo were all in the treasury, and were all acting off somehow. Except for Victim, he acted normal I guess. It's a sneaking suspicion of mine that they were up to something nefarious, but I can't prove it. They could just be trying to surprise everyone. All I can do is keep us all together and safe." Bukubukuchagama seemed to understand what he meant.

"Oh No! Mare! Aura!" Touch me grabbed Lady Bukubukuchagama, before she could leave the throne room. "Let go of me! Let go! Let me go! Lord Touch Me! Get off! I have to make sure they are okay. Let go now, or I'll corrode all your gear! Touch Me!" Touch Me nodded his head.

"Go ahead, I don't care about my gear as much as I care about you. I would throw it all away if it kept you safe! Now calm down Bukubukuchagama!" Bukubukuchagama felt a little better. She wasn't aware Touch Me cared about her so much. She actually kind of blushed.

"Mare and Aura, wouldn't want you to be harmed because of them." Bukubukuchagama knew he was right, and didn't refute his claim.

"Well ummm... Momonga, how do you want to handle this? It's going to be extra tricky if they are actually planning something bad." Touch Me wasn't sure what to do himself, but Momonga always had a plan.

Momonga stared at his friend, but could not think of anything. "I'm not sure... I need more time to plan this, but it would be nice if those in question would at least respond to my summons!" Everyone looked at Momonga with a nervous look.

"But Lord Ainz I thought you didn't send a summon to Albedo, Rubedo, or Pandora's Actor specifically?" Shalltear had thought that was odd.

"I sent them a message to each of them asking them to join us, after I told you guys about the possibility of danger. So far not a single one of them have shown up. Is Victim here?" Victim walked up to Lord Ainz, "Yes I am here, what do you need Lord Ainz?"

"Nothing... I was just checking I did send you a summon earlier, but instead you went to the treasury with Albedo, and the others. Why?" Victim floated there silent.

"They needed my assistance with something, and they asked me to come talk with them. That's all I can tell you Lord Ainz." His assistance? What could Victim do for them.

"Should we just go on like normal? Pretend we don't know about any of this? How should we proceed. If you believe we may be in danger, I will do whatever I can to protect you all. Even if it means I have to hurt Albedo.

Hearing this caused Tabula to wince his eyes in pain. Momonga couldn't bear to see Tabula looking so sad, the frustration, and sadness was easy to see on his face. His friends saw his creation as a threat to their safety but that was all just suspicions. Albedo would never...

"Tabula, Like I said before we don't know for sure they were just acting suspicious." Momonga tried to calm Tabula down.

"No its okay.. It's true after all isn't it?" Tabula sent many messages to Albedo asking her to come hang out with him, and catch up on old times, but she never once responded to them. She actively avoided him every chance she got. She no longer wanted anything to do with her creator. He knew this deep within his heart, but he wanted to deny it so bad to disprove what he already knew was true. "But why... Albedo... I can't believe it..." Tabula fell to his knees in despair, and had tears rolling down his face, and it made Momonga's heart wrench to watch this.

Walking into the room, accompanied by Pandora's Actor was the very devil in question, Albedo! "Sorry we were late Lord Ainz. I had something I had to do, but I am ready now! Why did you call all the Floor Guardians here? Lord Ainz-sama? Is something wrong? The Supreme Beings should still be sleeping why are they awake now?" Albedo... she showed up. Does that mean she actually isn't a danger to them? Oh No! She was probably just planning a surprise party, if she figures out what we thought she was doing...

Her eyes were filled with a distant look. She was equipped in her combat gear, and not her usual attire. She looked at Tabula on his knees crying like a little kid. Serves him right she thought. He knows doesn't he? I thought he was on to what I was planning... He did create me after all. I should have killed him earlier!

"What the hell is taking Rubedo so long? Pandora's Actor had taken on Momonga's form, he was armed to the teeth. Did they prep in case this was an emergency? No he only told them to come to the throne room he thought. He didn't tell them it was urgent, or to prepare for battle.

Standing up Momonga walked up halfway to Albedo. "Albedo, tell me, why are you equipped in full combat gear?" Albedo smiled, and stared right back into his eyes.

"I had a sneaking suspicion I may need it. Why? Aren't all of you Supreme One's and Floor Guardians all in combat gear yourselves?" She had a point I guess...

"Albedo what have you been plotting..." Momonga said calmly, causing Albedo's face to fill with displeasure.

"Plotting? I haven't been plotting anything, Lord Ainz-sama. What do you mean? Lord Tabula you believe me right?" Albedo looked at Tabula with a heart warming smile. She could use Tabula to hide her true intentions!

"I want to believe you, I really do, but I know what you've been up to. You've been avoiding me, your own creator, you've ignored all fifty messages I sent to you so far. You no longer respect me do you... no it's more than that, you despise me! I can see it in your face! The face that I created!" Tabula was actually able to get under Albedo's skin with that. Her face twisted in disgust.

"No... That's not..." Albedo was shaking her head continually. "I wouldn't" Looking around everyone's face was in disbelief at her. They could see she was totally falling apart.

"Do you hate us for leaving? Is that it? Not all of us had the choice Albedo! Some of us had too! No one wanted to leave behind their friends!" Albedo flinched, she seemed to be crushed by some deep guilt. She could feel her sins crawling on her back. But why?

"SHUT UP TABULA! YOU AREN'T EVEN WORTHY OF THE NAME LORD! LORD AINZ IS THE ONLY ONE I CARE ABOUT!" Albedo lashed out at him violently.

"Nonsense... enough of this mindless rambling... I don't care why you left. If you really wanted to stay! You would have found a way!" Albedo slammed her fist into the wall causing massive damage to the hard stone.

"How shameful, for a guardian to say and do such a thing to a Supreme Being! Albedo! What the hell are you THINKING!" Cocytus was about to evolve into a lobster from the anger burning up inside him. His face had a bright red hue to it.

Shalltear just shook her head. She didn't hate Albedo, but if she really was doing something behind their backs... She would have to stop her.

"Albedo... I know how you feel I really do, but Ah!?" Albedo swung her hand at her, and she instinctively dodged it.

"No you don't! None of you understand how I feel!" This was getting out of hand Momonga thought. This might actually be Momonga's fault. She was so sexually frustrated, and just wanted Momonga's attention, and love, but he just couldn't give her it. I don't even have a penis! I can't reproduce! What does she want from me!?

Rubedo had just walked into the throne room, opening up the big doors, she was absolutely drenched in a red crimson. It was obvious she had been injured badly, or killed someone, probably more than one actually.

"What... Rubedo! Why are you covered in blood!" Tabula couldn't believe it.

Looking sinister at him Rubedo just began to laugh uncontrollably.

"WHO'S BLOOD IS IT!?" Momonga screamed at her.

"No... Noooooooooo!" Bukubukuchagama's voice was low, and the complete opposite of her cute, high pitched voice. Even Momonga himself was startled.

"Bukubukuchagama what's wrong?" Bukubukuchagama didn't reply, she had a sudden realization, Mare and Aura didn't respond to the summon, not because they didn't want too, but because they couldn't!

"Mare... Aura... YOU RUBEDO! YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT!" She was sure it was their blood, everyone else showed up except for Mare and Aura.

Rubedo grinned devilishly. "Pay for what exactly Lady Bukubukuchagama? I simply took out the trash!" Wait what did she mean by that? Mare and Aura were not trash!

"TAKE THAT BACK! THEY ARE NOT TRASH!" Bukubukuchagama's heart felt like it was about to explode.

"Tell me something Lady Bukubukuchagama." Rubedo grinned even wider at her. "When your cleaning the house, does it really matter whether you have to clean up one piece of trash, or two? No of course not. You just grab both of them, and throw them out!" Rubedo stomped her foot on the ground violently.

"WHAT!?" Bukubukuchagama didn't even know what she was trying to get at, and couldn't keep herself calm anymore, she was just so angry now!

Floor Guardians had a lot of buffs if they were fighting on their own assigned floor. It couldn't have been easy for Rubedo to kill them herself, but she wasn't even scratched! How!? That's not possible! Bukubukuchagama could feel her anger soaring. Did she act friendly, and then betray them? THAT FUCKING BITCH!

"YOU FUCKING, GODDAMN BITCH!" Momonga could feel all of the frustration, and anger in Bukubukuchagama's voice. This is exactly what Rubedo wanted though he thought. To get under her skin, and make her suffer as much as possible. He was going to put a stop to this! Her punishment would be agonizing! He just had to think of one.

"Rubedo you will be reprimanded for this harshly." Momonga was trying to intimidate her, but it didn't work.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! You reprimand me? No I will reprimand you!" Albedo didn't like that at all.

"Shut up Rubedo! Don't you dare say another word bitch! My sister or not... I'LL KILL YOU FOR DISRESPECTING LORD AINZ!" Bukubukuchagama had finally hit her melting point. Everyone was getting so tense!

"I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU RUBEDO! I'LL KILL YOU!" Bukubukuchagama lunged at her, but was stopped by Touch Me.

"Get out of my way Touch Me... I'm warning you!"

"Wait! Please calm down Lady Bukubukuchagama, and stay behind me."

"Momonga! Now this is going to be a problem. Get behind me! I will be your shield, don't hold back, hit her with all you! Hmmmph!" Touch Me let out a large groan, as a considerably powerful force smashed against his shield. It was pushing him back, but he tried to hold fast.

Before Lord Touch Me could even finish his sentence, Rubedo had closed the distance between them in an instant.

"Ahhh!" Touch Me could barely push Rubedo at all, and struggled to keep her back, he couldn't have moved her more than an inch! Rubedo had already been buffed with triple maximize magic, as well as greater strength, and speed buffs!

Rubedo struck him at close range. Although his shield blocked some of the force it sent him flying backwards towards the hard stone wall. His shield arm was completely shattered! She was too strong, He couldn't hold her back! Touch Me thought. My friends!

Slamming into the wall he coughed up blood, and dropped his shield, falling to his knees in agony.

"Touch Me!" Momonga wasn't expecting Albedo to bring the fight to them in broad daylight. If anything he imagined she would act from the shadows without exposing herself. At least she doesn't seem to be going through with it. Albedo is still on their side.

He hadn't cast any buffs on his allies, and Rubedo had already been buffed to insane level's by Pandora's Actor.

Fortunately, out of habit, Momonga had already cast Triple Maximize magic on himself, and had access to reality slash if needed. He needed to send a message to Aureole Omega, he needed her buffs and he needed them now!

"Aureole Omega! Hey!" What the heck he thought. His message was being blocked! Rubedo had disrupted his message spell. Shit!

"Nice try Lord Ainz, but you didn't really think... I would let you contact her did you? I'm strong, but I'm not a fool, Lord Ainz!" Rubedo glared at Momonga.

Rubedo was closing in on Touch Me who was still on his knees, Sebas had already gotten in the way, and stood strong against her.

"I won't let you past!" "What?" He had just taken a direct hit from something, and his own blood sprayed across the floor. He was mortally injured, but by what? She wasn't in range to slash him was she? She was too far away Sebas thought. But sure enough she was standing right behind Sebas.

"It was a quick cast magic mine, you probably didn't even hear me chant it. I used it to propel myself, and cut you at a high velocity. Just so you know how you died. Hah!" Damn her! Sebas thought as he fell to his knees. Rubedo didn't even finish him off, and instead grabbed him, and threw him flying past Momonga to the other side of the room, with extreme force. She was strong for sure.

"Damn it! Reality Slash!" What? Rubedo heard that, but it was too late to dodge, she had just taken a reality slash from Momonga almost directly to her face. Although normally it wouldn't of hurt her much, it had struck her left eye. She hadn't thought Momonga could chant that fast!

"Gahhhhhhhhhh!" Rubedo wailed and thrashed around. Momonga had just destroyed one of Rubedo's eyes with a nearly missed reality slash! He only nicked her, but it seemed to cause her considerable pain.

Rubedo glared at Momonga with her good eye, and bum rushed him. However, Albedo quickly rushed to his side, and raised her guard protecting Momonga from a fatal blow from Rubedo's special weapon art.

"Rubedo! You can't hurt Momonga! I won't let you!" Albedo? She had actually moved to protect Momonga. She did love him he thought. Perhaps she could be forgiven after this all if she just surrendered, and gave up any hope of killing his friends.

Rubedo wasn't backing down, and instead smacked her sister across the face. "Get out of my way! We can just revive him later!" Albedo's glare was strong enough to kill Rubedo where she stood.

"YOU WHAT!? That is completely ridiculous! Are you even my sister!? You aren't going to fucking touch him!" Albedo once loved her sister deeply, but now all bets were off. She was blood lusted, and trying to kill the one she loved the most in this world. Albedo would not allow this to happen.

"Yea... I'm over this.. Rubedo your plan is stupid anyway. Momonga is my creator did you really think I'd just let you kill him?" Pandora's Actor had given up fighting The Supreme Beings, and joined with them against Rubedo. This was not right and he knew it.

"I should have never even bothered to listen to you in the first place, Albedo. The Supreme Beings don't deserve this!" Albedo actually nodded her head sadly in agreement.

"I'm aware, I thought I would just kill any returning Supreme Beings, because I was so angry that they had left us, and thought they could pose a threat to Lord Ainz." Albedo paused. "But Lord Tabula got me thinking. They weren't being selfish like we thought, and didn't leave us behind lightly. I'm sure they all had a good reason! Lord Tabula... I'm so sorry..." Tabula looked incredibly sad, but he also smiled. It was odd to watch someone so mixed up on emotions.

"That means a lot to me Albedo." now that Tabula didn't have to fight Pandora's Actor anymore, it seems the tides have turned. Rubedo can't beat us all right?

"Rubedo, it's over, you are all alone against us now, just surrender. I created you, and I can sure as hell destroy you, but don't force me to go back on my promise!" His promise? Momonga thought, he wasn't sure who to, or when he even made a promise involving his creations.

"You are underestimating me Tabula. You should know better than anyone the power difference between us. You are like a bunch of ants, vs one ant eater." Albedo snarled at her own sister's comment.

"You just sound ridiculous now, after we kick your ass, you are being spoon fed ants everyday as punishment! Surrender now and that doesn't have to happen." Tabula, was that really necessary to say? Momonga thought. How could he be joking at a time like this? Actually, how was he going to back that up they didn't have any ants in Nazarick to force down her throat. Momonga knew he had to be kidding. Right? Well Perhaps we could force feed her Entoma's insects?

Rubedo suddenly rushed in to attack them, although they were grouped together, she was still able to pull off attacks easily, and struck too fast, and hard for them to counter attack.

Everyone was getting wore down by her. How was she able to move at such high velocity using magic mines? It was devastatingly effective, but costed Rubedo a ton of mana to continually cast like she was doing. Not to mention she could self destruct herself, if they could somehow force her back into the blast, but she was just too fast, and there was just too much force behind her from the explosion to do such a thing. Even as strong as Touch Me was, his guard would not hold up to such a powerful blow. His shield was strong, but his arm was the weak link. Eventually something had to give.

Bukubukuchagama unexpectedly, lunged at Rubedo, and was quickly cut down. Though something felt off to Rubedo.

Looking at her equipment she saw Bukubukuchagama's slime had covered it, and had started to corrode her equipment. Attacking a slime with a melee attack was a foolish move, and was something even Supreme Beings avoided, but Rubedo lacked combat knowledge of this. Divine equipment or not, it could still be destroyed.

"What did you do!?" Rubedo's sword had half the blade dissolved, but she could still use it's other bladed side. At the same time some of her armor was being eaten away as well.

"I see you've noticed Rubedo, but it's too late, your equipment is ruined, and you will soon join it! How dare you attack, the ones who worked so hard to create this guild!" Bukubukuchagama was so angry, that she didn't care how powerful her opponent was.

"YOU! DISGUSTING LITTLE SLIMY BITCH! THIS IS WHERE IT ENDS FOR YOU!" Bukubukuchagama did not run, Rubedo was nearly unequipped now, that half assed sword wouldn't hurt her it would just be corroded into nothing.

"GO AHEAD AND TRY!" Bukubukuchagama was going to take the attack head on, and her brother was panicking. He was afraid, but he couldn't just let his sister die. She wasn't immortal, and he knew Rubedo could definitely find a way to injure Bukubukuchagama that wasn't phystical.

"Sis calm down!, You are in danger! Stay back! Get away from her!" Unfortunately, Perorocino's warning came too late. Rubedo with a look of incredible murderous intent, was obviously enraged at her own careless mistake.

"Take this! The power of the most Supreme Being, who even I stand above! REALITY SLASH!"

What!? She still has mana left!? Bukubukuchagama thought to herself. She panicked knowing she was about to get obliterated.

Peroroncino, jumping in the way at the last moment, took a fatal hit for his sister, and Bukubukuchagama was only slightly wounded. "Gahhhhh!" Falling lifelessly to the ground he was nearly cut in two by the powerful magic, but he had held his sister, and used his body to protect her from the blast.

"Sis... Don't" He coughed up blood. "Don't... Cry." He was in shock, and lost consciousness. He had already lost so much blood!

"Oh God... No... No! Nooooooooo! Brother! BROTHER!" Lady Bukubukuchagama began to cry as she tried to stop her brother's bleeding too no avail. The blood flowed out at a very high pressure from the wound, and she was only able to stop so much of it by covering the wound. Without her covering his wound, he would have been dead in seconds! She could either fight, or save her brother's life. She couldn't do both.

"YOU ABSOLUTE PIECE OF SHIT!" Momonga screamed at Rubedo, with a voice filled with rage.

"HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU HURT MY FRIENDS SO BADLY!" Touch Me had forced himself up, he still felt weakened, but knew he had to do something, and tried to charge at Rubedo, his shield arm flopping lifelessly as he charged.

Shalltear Bloodfallen had been powering up, all of this happened way too fast. She had summoned her clone, but not her familiars. She would save them in case she needed to heal herself.

"You Bitch! You! YOU HURT MY MASTER!" Shalltear had just blood lusted she couldn't help it.

"Not hurt... I killed him." Shalltear screamed in anger. "I'LL KILL YOU!"

"Yea I seem to get that a lot, but..."

Grabbing something, she turned around, and chucked it at their tight group. At an extreme speed. Not a single one of them was spared the status alignments, or debuffs, and they were debilitating. It was some kind of explosion... but.. Oh My God, Momonga thought. IT WAS... IT WAS VICTIM! SHE THREW HIM LIKE A HAND GRENADE AT THEM! IMPOSSIBLE! Momonga had never even thought to do such a thing!

Touch Me just stood still as Rubedo charged at him. Why wasn't he moving? Momonga thought.

"Touch Me! Move! Why are you just standing there!?" Tabula's voice was extremely strained. Watching his friends being injured around him by his own creation was agonizing. This was all his fault! If only he had never created this monster!

"I can't... I'm paralyzed!" That has to be the worst status effect for a warrior besides sleep! I am so unlucky!

"Shalltear guard him!" Momonga shouted.

Shalltear fell to the ground, and laid there. What had happened!?

She was... She was asleep! Rubedo had just ripped her clone to pieces.

"Wow looks like I got really lucky. One's paralyzed, and the other asleep! Like cattle to a slaughter! Don't tell me Lord Ainz got silenced as well? That would be just too good to be true.

"Hah!" Momonga had a World Class item that protected him from silence, almost any serious magical user in Yggdrasil had one. They were incredibly expensive, and considered end game gear for magic casters.

Tabula rushed to try and defend his friend, who he knew was completely defenseless, if he couldn't move, but he was too late Rubedo was too fast. Rubedo used her own magic mine explosion, to propel herself forward! That gave her an incredibly deadly velocity! She was using these spells, and items in ways he never even imagined were even possible! Not to mention her chucking Victim at them was genius!

Rubedo struck at Touch Me's throat with incredible precision, but he was just able, to barely move his injured arm, into the way of the attack, and he used Reflect to block the blow. SPLURT! "AWWWWWWW!" Touch Me's wounded shield arm had been completely decapitated, but blocked the lethal blow nonetheless. It poured blood like a raging geyser.

"Hmmm.. If you had just gave up quietly I would have made your death painless. You can just bleed to death now though." "Now where was I?" Turning around to Momonga her eyes glowed a crimson red.

"Reality Slash!" No It was point blank! Shalltear can't dodge it! She is dead for sure! Momonga thought.

Shalltear was nearly killed instantly, but Tabula had sort of blocked the attack just in the nick of time. She was mortally wounded though, and even though her sleep alignment was gone, she was so injured she couldn't move. She would have to wait for an opening to summon her familiar, and drain them for health. If Rubedo noticed her doing this she would kill her.

"That damn magic mine propulsion bullshit, is getting real old! Real fast! Is that and Reality Slash all you know how to do!?" Tabula was trying to taunt her, to get her to use something else. The magic mine propulsion attack even with half a sword was too hard to fight back against. She was doing more than just whittling down their health slowly with it. She was killing them, and fast. This had to be cheating! Nerf this cunt!

Rubedo had ignored Tabula. He wasn't even worth wasting her breath on at this point. His taunts would not effect her in the least. What a pathetic man she thought.

"Time to end this! You'll suffer the most for taking my eye out! I'll tear you into little pieces!" Rubedo lunged at Momonga. Did she still have mana left? He didn't know. However she suddenly gained a burst of speed towards him, she had used another magic mine to propel herself! And at an incredibly high velocity. It was over for him, wasn't it. He had failed his friends! He was going to be killed by this attack, he just couldn't react fast enough, or predict how she would propel herself at him. She could always change her direction slightly.

"No you don't!" Standing strong in front of Momonga, Albedo was using herself as a shield! She was about to be torn to pieces to protect her love, but instead she was knocked out of the way at the last second. "What!?" No It can't be! Nooooooooooo!" Albedo's mind screamed.

Lord Ainz! He would surely be killed now! Her neck had whiplash from whatever knocked her out of the way, it had hit her hard, but she forced her head up anyway to see what had happened. Was Lord Ainz okay? If not she didn't want to live without him.

It was Lord Tabula! He had knocked her out of the way, and had taken the lethal blow! Albedo actually started to cry.

"But why Tabula! I don't understand... Why! I hated you, but you were so understanding, and now you protect me, even though it horrifically wounded you. So Tell me WHY!?"

Tabula grinned, and blood was pouring out of his mouth. "Because Albedo... Because I... Love..." No Albedo thought this... it hurts so bad!

Unfortunately Tabula didn't get to finish that last word that Albedo wanted to hear so badly. He was torn apart by Rubedo, pulling the sword out of his chest, and to the side. Blood rained down on her, and Rubedo smiled.

"How pathetic Albedo! Don't tell me you actually cared for that pathetic thing. Hahahaha!" Albedo grimaced, and snarled with rage. Her face showed all that pain and more. Unfortunately for Rubedo she had forgot about Pandora's Actor. He had messaged Momonga with a plan.

"Lord Ainz, I am going to cast, The Goal of All Life is Death, but Rubedo has a revival spell that can negate it. If you can distract her long enough, she shouldn't even hear me cast it." That was a beautiful plan Pandora's Actor... Momonga thought I was falling into despair, but you gave me hope.

Momonga himself had been holding onto his, The Goal of All Life is Death spell. Keeping it as a wild card. He knew it wouldn't effect Rubedo if she cast revival in time, and he can only cast it once.

Momonga began firing an assortment of spells at Rubedo, and it didn't even matter that, he was not able to land even a single hit directly. He wasn't trying to actually wound her, he was just trying to keep her distracted.

His casting speed was at least 3 times slower than normal, thanks to Victim's Complimentary Debuffs. He didn't have time to set up magic mines ahead of time, and his mana had been drained by Victim's debuffs anyway so it didn't matter now. Rubedo was able to glide across the air, her wings were going to make her a hard target to actually hit, but he gave Pandora's Actor the ok to put the plan into motion. They would only have one shot at this. If it failed it was all over for him, his friends. No... it was more than just him and his friends now who would suffer. Rubedo would destroy it all wouldn't she? This entire world. Everything, and everyone. This world would be completely annihilated by that angel of death!

"I can't let that happen!" Momonga got Rubedo's attention right as Pandora Began to cast his spell, it was going to have a long cast time with Victim's debuffs, but he should be able to get it off if she just doesn't turn around, or notice what he was doing. The timer had to hit zero, and it couldn't be dodged, but if you kill the caster, it wouldn't do anything.

"What can't you let happen Lord Ainz? You don't really think you can stop me right?" Rubedo let out a hearty, spine chilling laugh.

"Hahahahahaha! COME ON THEN! SHOW ME WHAT KIND OF A MAN YOU REALLY ARE AINZ!" She had fell for it, she was so overconfident, and loud. She didn't even hear Pandora cast, and the clock was already ticking.

Momonga was lit on fire by Rubedo, but his gear gave him incredibly high fire resistance. She was just wasting her precious mana. Rubedo knew he had swapped to holy resistance gear for Shalltear, and thought he was still using that gear. She was wrong.

"Is that all... YOU'VE GOT!" Rubedo looked stunned. He howled in pain after she sent another hellfire blast at him, he was completely engulfed in the hot blue flames.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Rahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Momonga screamed out in pain. However he was only faking the pain. In actual reality it actually didn't hurt him that much, but even with almost maxed out fire resistance he still took damage. Rubedo was strong.

Rubedo closed the gap to Momonga for a devastatingly powerful physical attack. This time though, Cocytus intercepted her, and clashed swords with Rubedo, from behind. He had no idea about their plan, or that Momonga was just faking his pain. He had ruined it! She blocked Cocytus's blow easily, and looking behind him saw Pandora's Actor, had already cast The Goal of All Life Is Death! She had to cast revival fast.

"Revival!" No! NO! NOOOOOOOO! It was over, it was all over! That was all they had! She wouldn't die. The spells would just negate each other!

"Damn it! Fallen Down!" Breaking a casting speedup item, Momonga used most of his mana to increased the spells destructive power, but he saved just enough to cast, The Goal of All Life is Death. He had never had to use a super powered, Super Tier spell before, it was almost never worth throwing mana towards something that was cost free for just a slightly harder hitting attack, but this would be the one of the few situations, where he needed it to hit it's hardest.

Casting such a spell inside such a small place was going to be absolutely devastating, The throne room was big and wide, but even outside in a wide open field, his spell would cause massive destruction. All of his friends were behind him, only Rubedo would be caught in the blast, and maby himself, but that was a risk he would take. It just might be strong enough to annihilate Rubedo, but there were no guarantees, he had never used, Fallen Down to it's full destructive potential before. He had no idea what would happen.

"Aureole Omega! Teleport the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown to me! And buff me with all you've got!" Aureole was surprised she had no idea what was happening, but listened to him immediately. She could feel the presence of a lot of guardians all in one spot, as well as all of the Supreme Beings. Rubedo had let her concentration down, and forgot to block his message spell this time. Pandora's Actor nearly killing her had her panicked.

"Normally Rubedo, I wouldn't use this staff, but if It saves my friends! I don't even care if Nazarick disappears altogether!" Momonga was glowing a deep black purple, and Rubedo could feel an intense power flowing out of him. This attack! It was dangerous!

A pathetic last ditch effort though she thought. If he can't finish casting it, it won't matter how powerful of an attack it was, and she could reach him in an instant!

"You think, I'd really let you cast that!? Don't you FUCK WITH ME!" Rubedo went straight for Momonga. Right before she cast a magic mine to propel herself, she felt something firmly grab her leg, causing the magic mine to instead blow them both up. What kind of suicidal piece of shit would do such a thing? Rubedo wondered.

Looking down she saw Ulbert holding her, it looked exactly like him. "Pandora's Actor... You'll be caught in the blast as well! LET GO OF ME!" His right arm was broken, and he had to use his non-dominant arm, but he would be damned if he was just going to just let go without a fight.

"Let go! You little piece of shit! LET GO OF ME!" He endured powerful kick after kick to his head from Rubedo, but the only way he was letting go was if she knocked him unconscious, or cut his arm off.

"Drain Touch!" Pandora's Actor laughed, as Rubedo screamed in agony. "Ahhhhhhh!"

"What the hell is so funny? Pandora!?" He had just used Ulbert's special ability to drain someone's stats, mana, and stamina. It was incredibly effective against a buffed opponent.

"We are both going to die here together, I've accepted that. As long as you die too, I don't mind." "Shit!" Pandora's Actor cried out in agony.

Rubedo had just stabbed him right in the shoulder, and was using her sword to try and pry his arm off her. It hurt incredibly, but he didn't even scream. I have to protect my creator!

"FUCK OFF!" His shoulder was dislocated by her sword, and Pandora lost his grip on her leg. Rubedo kicked him so hard in the face that he had a serious concussion.

"I won't let you finish that cast Momonga! You have no one left who can protect you! NOW DIE!" She was getting ready to propel herself one final time with her magic mine to end this, Cocytus couldn't stop her she thought, he had already been ripped apart. There was no one left to save him. He was all alone!

Rubedo did overlook one small thing though that would cost her dearly.

"Where do you think you're going? BITCH!" Shalltear had grabbed her leg with all her strength, right as Rubedo tried to propel herself!

"Impossible! You can't still be!" Her own mine interrupted her, this time she was not unscathed. Last time she had barely dodge the full impact of the blast, but this time Shalltear had pulled her on top of it causing massive damage. Rubedo was caught in her own blast again! It had completely backfired!

"I underestimated you Shalltear... Well played." Momonga had finally finish his casting, and released his ultimate attack, a super charged Super Tier spell, Fallen Down. He had never had to use such a thing before, and normally just used his normal Fallen Down. By using his own mana he could also boost any attack's power. Normally the cost of the original spell would be too hefty to add much power with your mana pool, but Fallen Down was free to use, and instead time-gated. Powering it up would make a huge impact.

"I'm sorry Pandora... Shalltear. I will revive you later!" Momonga felt terrible, he had no choice but to blow up both of them along with Rubedo.

Finally the blast went off, and Momonga himself was sent flying into the wall behind him. The blast was far too big. His ribs shattered, and his spine was almost torn from his back. His head was crushed partially, and he fell to the ground.

This is it, he thought. If she gets up from that... Then we're done... I can't even look up... Did we win... This anxiety is killing me, I have to know... Move! Move! Why can't I move!?

The Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown hit the ground with a loud metallic Thud! He didn't have the strength to hold it any longer. Hopefully that hadn't damaged it.

Momonga felt his pain recede for some reason, like it was almost completely gone. What was this warm feeling bathing over his body?

"You guys really took a beating Lord Ainz-sama, and unfortunately though, my sisters, and I couldn't help very much. I've managed to heal all of the Supreme Beings. I'm almost out of mana, but I should be able to heal you at least somewhat. I mean they aren't 100%, but at least they aren't going to die." Momonga was so grateful, he had thought some of them would be dead for sure with their mortal wounds.

"Peroroncino, Touch Me, Tabula... You healed them all first right? They are hurt far worse than I am. Is Peroroncino still alive?!" Momonga kind of forced his arm to move a bit, but it was very weak.

"Of course Lord Ainz, I would never settle for any less than saving all of you. Please stop moving. You need to rest. This actually looks pretty bad." Lupis Regina was actually really useful! He only had one Healing potion on him for emergencies, but the impact from Fallen Down, had completely crushed it. Without her, his friends would have all perished. It would only be him, and Bukubukuchagama left, and he would regret that for life.

"Thank you so much... Lupis Regina. I will give you something extra special for this. You've saved us!" Lupis Regina smiled.

"It's what I was created to do, to serve you in anyway I can. Your thanks is payment enough Lord Ainz!" Momonga weakly shook his head.

"Nonsense! You are my hero!" Lupis Regina's face was bathed in a bright crimson. She wasn't embarrassed, but just so surprised by his words, she couldn't help but blush.

"Momonga..." Touch Me had managed to crawl across the floor to him, with one arm! Amazing Momonga thought.

Lupis Regina however, didn't look too happy or impressed by this though, but Momonga sure as hell was.

"LORD TOUCH ME! DON'T YOU MOVE ANOTHER MUSCLE! ARE YOU TRYING TO OPEN YOUR WOUNDS?! I CAN'T HEAL THEM AGAIN! I'M NEARLY OUT OF MANA! LORD TOUCH ME PLEASE!" Lupis Regina held him down. She couldn't let him move anymore than he already had.

"I'm sorry Lord Touch Me, but you can't move right now." She was sitting on Touch Me's back, but not with enough weight to hurt him through his armor.

"Good grief." Touch Me had already crawled close enough now anyway jeez, he didn't have to crawl any closer to speak to Momonga. She was worrying way too much, but she did save him, and his friends, he would have to give her something nice later. The Pleiades were incredibly helpful! He felt bad about saying they were just made to slow down Nazarick's invaders so they could prep for the real fight.

"Momonga. Do you think we could have avoided this? This was such a bloodbath, it was way too close. I thought I was going to lose all my friends." Touch Me paused and winced in pain.

"If Albedo, and Pandora's Actor hadn't had a change of heart... We would have all died." Touch Me paused before continuing speaking weakly.

"Rubedo... she is an extreme danger not only to us, but this entire world... We will have to have Aureole Omega lock her in a closed space, or... we will have to kill her. You still have mana right?" Momonga nodded.

"Of course, I still have mana, Touch Me, I used most of it to power up my Fallen Down, but I saved enough for one cast of, The Goal of All life is death. Have you ever seen me use all my mana up before?" No I guess not Touch Me thought.

Touch Me spoke fast and harshly, ignoring Momonga's question.

"Use it on Rubedo while she's down! She could still be alive. If she manages to get up, we are dead Momonga!" Momonga thought about it. He didn't think it was necessary, she hadn't moved an inch, and he didn't see her breathing anymore. Momonga could still think clearly, but obviously Touch Me was stressed out to all hell right now. That fight was intense.

"How can you be so calm right now Momonga?" He really was amazing wasn't he? Touch Me thought. No something is strange. It's almost as if he can't feel emotions sometimes... Momonga laughed at his question, but didn't answer it.

Meanwhile why they were talking Eclair was watching and listening. Angrily he slammed his flipper against his desk, but it didn't have much force behind it.

"DAMN YOU LORD AINZ! DAMN YOU AUREOLE OMEGA! YOU HAVE COMPLETELY RUINED EVERYTHING! HOW COULD RUBEDO LOSE!" Wait I need to calm down Eclair thought, and think this through. If Lord Ainz uses up the last bit of his mana to cast, The Goal of All Life is Death, they will be helpless! Looking at Momonga pondering whether or not he actually needed to cast it, Eclair was shaking his flippers.

"Cast it Lord Ainz! Cast the damn spell already! CAST IT SO I CAN KILL YOU!" Eclair watched and listened intensely.

"You really are getting too worked up over this, so they defeated Rubedo and survived. I could simply go and kill them all right now for you." Eclair angrily looked at his minion. It was a large beholder!

"No, Lord Ainz is strong. He can kill you with The Goal of All Life is Death. Lord Ainz is no fool. If you go in their now he will see you as an immediate threat, and quick cast it." Eclair paused.

"I can't risk losing you now. At most you might kill one or two of them, and then Lord Ainz would kill you." The beholder had been convinced Eclair was the most powerful being in this world. Eclair was incredibly charismatic, and showed great pride. But why then the beholder thought to itself. Why is he being such a coward? They are weakened, we could still kill them!

"It's unnecessary, and to answer your other question..." Momonga stopped to think about it.

"No! NO! We will have to go with plan B. Let's get started immediately!" Eclair got up, and although trying to look menacing, he was wobbling around, and it was the complete opposite.

Hmmmm.. Perhaps this Eclair isn't as powerful as he claims. I am starting to get annoyed by this little creature. After the Supreme Beings are all killed. I'll kill him as well, and take this place as my home! SUPREME BEINGS? HAHAHAHA! WHAT AN OVERBLOWN TITLE! WORTHY OF A FOOL!

"After thinking long and hard about, if this could have been prevented." Momonga came back with the same answer every time. No, It was inevitably going to happen. Fortunately Tabula is a really understanding guy, and actually changed Albedo's heart, taking all of the pain, and anger she had directed at him, without biting back, had shown her how much Tabula actually cared for her. There's no way she can hate him anymore right? If jumping in the way of a fatal blow was not the ultimate way to display your love for something, then what was?

"No unfortunately this was inevitable, but I blame myself more than I blame Albedo for her actions." Momonga paused to think. " Tabula I...changed Albedo's personality to love me, just as a little joke before the servers closed down, but in this world that all became true, and I can't change it! I never returned her feelings of love, because I felt terrible about what I had done, and that drove her mad. Please Tabula forgive me, and find it in your heart to forgive her!" Tabula laughed.

"You didn't even need to ask that. I've already completely forgiven Albedo, and I forgive you Momonga. No one saw this coming. All you wanted to do was have a bit of fun before the servers closed down. Also..." Tabula paused thinking hard about something.

"Momonga you aren't being fair to yourself, who was it that kept the guild running, who was it that stayed all alone, so we would all have a place that we could always return to and call our home? How could I possibly be angry, or blame this all on you, no one saw this coming, the Gods are playing tricks on us! However as your friend... Momonga, in my own honest opinion, if you had returned Albedo's feelings... this probably, could have all been avoided! Please don't take this the wrong way, but man up already, stop making excuses why you can't, and love her!" Tabula's words rang out, and Momonga could not deny that they were all true.

"I understand Tabula, I also believe that it was me who caused Albedo to loath you all so much! Not only did I not return her feelings, but I let her, and other NPCs see how much I missed you all. I believe that is what caused her to plot against us. I am so pathetic!" Momonga clenched his fist. Angry at no one but himself.

"No Momonga, you are a great leader, please, just make Albedo happy! That's all I want! I don't care if she loves me or not..." It seemed Tabula had decided to fully forgive Albedo, for her treachery, but she still had wounded his heart terribly, and it showed. His smiles were nothing but an act. They didn't have the innocent shine they had before.

"I jumped in front of her to save her, and I would do the same thing again, even if it resulted in my death. I created her Momonga, I love everything about her."

"Her looks, and her heart. I still love her, but I just want her to be happy, Momonga."

"Tabula..." Momonga said. "You really are a great guy. You know that right?" Touch Me also praised him. "Yea way to go Tabula you turned a bad situation around! You have a heart of gold my friend." Tabula grinned wide. Momonga could see it was for real this time, and he could also see that he was missing a lot of teeth.

"Hey now, don't you all start complimenting me now. I'm used to the constant bickering, and complaints by now yah know? You are going to make me blush!" Momonga chuckled. "Yes I understand. I understand completely Tabula."

"Yea.. don't bet your life on it Tabula. I'll still mess with you, every chance I get." It was Bukubukuchagama's voice! She had been so quiet. Obviously because she was mourning her brother, but she needed someone to talk to anyone, or she felt like she would explode.

"I'm glad you got that out of the way guys, but have you noticed that Demiurge was no where to be seen... that entire fight... where is he at?" Lord Touch Me was the only one who seemed to notice Demiurge's absence.

Had he left before or after the battle started? Perhaps he quickly went to find Mare and Aura, and didn't know Rubedo had already killed them both, or that they would actually fight the Supreme Beings. Well... They didn't know anything for sure yet, Momonga thought. Mare, and Aura could just be trapped, or imprisoned somewhere, but then who's blood was Rubedo covered in?

Momonga couldn't believe it. In the heat of the moment, he didn't even realize Demiurge wasn't even there. That was pretty absent minded of him, but a lot was happening, Momonga thought to himself.

"I doubt he would betray us. I think maby he went to find Mare, and Aura for Lady Bukubukuchagama. Even if they were killed, if we don't have their bodies... then..." Tabula stopped speaking, as he didn't want to hurt Bukubukuchagama anymore. She had lost so much in just one moment. Peroroncino was surely dead right?

"Bukubukuchagama... I'm so sorry... Is he..." Tabula just couldn't get the words to roll off his tongue. He did really want to know if his friend Peroroncino was still alive badly though, and his eyes burned, warm salty tears ran down his face.

Bukubukuchagama didn't make a sound, instead she laid her tentacle on Peroroncino's chest, gently. She noticed his heart was still beating weakly.

"HE'S! HE'S STILL ALIVE!" Bukubukucahgama seemed to instantly regain the life that was taken from her by Rubedo. That woman was an absolute monster, she thought.

Although thought to be completely dead, it seemed Lupis Regina, had crawled up, and healed Peroroncino's more grievous wounds, just in the nick of time. He was still in critical condition though, but Bukubukuchagama let out a deep sigh of relief. Inhaling she let out her real voice again, far deeper than her cute one.

"Lil BRO! YOU IDIOT! DON'T YOU EVER! DO SOMETHING! SO STUPID! EVER AGAIN!" Her voice caused everyone to flinch.

Although Peroroncino wasn't even conscious, somehow Momonga imagined, even he, heard that blood curdling scream of frustration.

They had won the fight, but they would need to revive all the NPCs that were killed, which would take a great amount of their gold. They also had to find something to do with Rubedo as well. No way in hell was she going to be so easily forgiven! Her punishment would be severe!

In his heart, Momonga deeply hoped Rubedo could be reasoned with, but he already knew that it wasn't going to be easy, it would be extremely difficult, or even impossible for her to reconcile for what she has already done.
