"Talking"

'Thinking'

[Tier magic]

(Wild Magic)

"What's going on? Did those shitty devs decide to postpone the shutdown?" Momonga asked not expecting to get an answer. "Forgive me, lord Momonga I don't know who these "Shitty Devs" you are talking about are. " The overseer responded with a look of confusion on her face.

"Did she just talk?!" Momonga was confused beyond belief. But that confusion only lasted a moment. Suddenly a green aura enveloped Momonga relaxing him. 'Did the NPC just talk? that's isn't possible! now that I think about it what's that smell? it seems like perfume'. "Lord Momonga is anything wrong?" "I-It's nothing Albedo, I'm fine." Ever since that green aura surrounded Momonga he had been calm despite the fact that the NPC had just talked to him.

'Alright let's try something else' "GM Call" He expected to receive an answer from an admin. Nothing happened. Momonga then started looking for the log-out button. 'First I can't call a Game Moderator now I can't even log out!' Momonga was starting to panic once again. But once again that green aura came back to save the day.

'alright if I can't log out and the NPCs can talk to me there are two possibilities. This is a very advanced sequel of Yggdrasil or this is now reality' Momonga then proceeded to do something that wasn't possible in Yggdrasil. "Albedo" Momonga asked looking directly at the Guardian Overseer. "yes my lord?" Replied Albedo with a hint of curiosity in her voice.

"Would... you get closer? I need to test something" What Momonga was attempting to try was punishable by a suspension but it could be argued that he had no other way of logging out. Albedo did what she was asked and moved right in front of Momonga. The guild master then extended his hand and proceeded to touch the Overseer's breast.

'Impossible! it's against the rules to commit acts that are +18. Plus her boobs are actually squishy. The Game Devs wouldn't need to add texture to something the players can't even touch.' Whilst thinking, Momonga hadn't even let go of Albedo's breast. Not that she was complaining. After a while, Momonga realized that he was still holding onto the Overseer. "Forgive me Albedo I was just lost in thought!" Momonga exclaimed hoping the woman wouldn't be mad.

"My lord, the touch of a supreme being is one of the highest rewards for us servants!" Momonga was honestly surprised that she wasn't mad but decided not to think about it too much. "Sebas" Momonga stated with his regal voice. "Yes my lord?" The butler raised his head meeting the gaze of his master. "We need to gather information, go outside the tomb and investigate the area, don't go further than 10 kilometers. If you find any intelligent life invite them to the tomb. If they refuse, use force, and bring a member of the Pleiades" Momonga commanded without a hint of doubt. "Your wish is my command my lord" the butler of steel replied.

Momonga then looked as Sebas and the automaton Shizu left the throne room. 'If they actually come back with someone then that changes everything' Not a single NPC could leave the guild base, in this case, Nazarick. If the leader of the Pleiades comes back with someone then that must mean that the rules of Yggdrasil aren't absolute where ever he is.

"Lord Momonga is there anything I could do?" Momonga then turned to the overseer "Ah Albedo, could you please ask the guardians to meet me in the amphitheater one hour from now?" 'Need to make sure that I have all the guardian's loyalty, not just Albedo, and the Pleiades. Speaking of which I should probably head over to the 8th floor to check if the Cherry Blossom Sanctuary is still intact.'

"I shall do so at once my lord" The overseer then dashed out of the throne room to fulfill her task. Once Albedo left, Momonga proceeded to teleport just outside the 8th floor. "Only people with the rings of Ainz Ooal Gown can enter this floor, if I don't have the other guardians' loyalty I can just come here, that is if Rubedo And Aureole Omega don't attack me." Momonga always tried to have a plan B. If he didn't, he wouldn't be where he was now. The guild master of one of the most powerful guilds in Yggdrasil, if he was even in Yggdrasil anymore.

After opening the gate that leads to the 8th floor, Momonga was greeted with a knife to his neck. If he even had one. "Oh lord Momonga it's you! Please forgive me, I thought you were an intruder, after all, Aureole felt a disturbance within the tomb." His assailant could be described as a young girl who looked no older than 15. She was dressed similarly to when Shalltear wore her adventuring outfit (look it up). Her pure white hair reached her waist, and the smile that she wore on her face was one of innocence.

'Well at least she didn't kill me' Momonga was shocked when he realized that he was almost killed but calmed down after a couple of seconds. "Hello, Rubedo how are you, I just wanted to make sure that everything on this floor was ok." The 8th floor was one of the most valuable since it held the most powerful NPCs in the tomb. If it was lost then the manpower of the tomb would drastically decrease.

"My day drastically improved since you stepped inside my floor, my lord. About the Sanctuary, nothing seems to be missing. Every area guardian is still in their positions." Rubedo replied. "Great, I know that I haven't visited this floor since the attack against the tomb so forgive me for that." Rubedo tensed up at the mention of the scum that tried to kill the supreme beings.

"Speaking of which, I am truly proud of you for being able to kill most of their forces." Momonga praised the floor guardian hoping to alleviate the mood. "It is the least I could do. There is no way that I would let such scum reach the supreme beings!" Once again that pure smile crept up onto Rubedo's face.

"Back to the matter at hand, I wanted to inform you that all the floor guardians will be meeting on the 6th floor 40 minutes from now. Make sure that you are present since I know that you don't have many opportunities to leave this floor. Also, since we currently do not know our situation so I want you to be my bodyguard starting after the meeting in the amphitheater. I believe there is no better option than you Rubedo knowing your STATS." Momonga was not taking any chances. If the other floor guardians were not loyal to him then he would have one of the most powerful beings in the tomb to protect him.

"My lord, there really is no greater honor!" Rubedo was ecstatic, she was never allowed to leave this floor. Now suddenly she has the privilege to accompany lord Momonga as his bodyguard. Momonga chuckled and gave the young girl a head-pat. "I am pleased that you think that. Also before you leave for the meeting, ask Omega if her scrying magic is still working." If the scrying network of the youngest of the Pleiades was down then they were completely blind to the outside world.

"I will my lord don't worry!" Momonga nodded and attempted to teleport to the 6th floor. 'Let's hope this works, this ring should permit me to teleport anywhere within the tomb.' Momonga then thought of how teleportation worked in some anime he had seen when he was not playing Yggdrasil. He pictured the 6th floor in his head and concentrated on wishing to be there.

"seems like it worked" After opening his eyes he was greeted by a slight breeze. When he looked up he saw the starry night. Millions of stars were hanging above him even though he was underground. 'You really outdid yourself BluePlanet this looks even more amazing than it did in Yggdrasil'

Man, Writing isn't as easy as it seems (depends on the person). I have found a new respect for people that post chapters wit more than five thousand words. Anyways I decided to add Rubedo to the story since we don't really know much about her. Anyways Hoped you enjoyed, see you in chapter four!
