Cleaning things out!
Thanks for the views!
Chapter 8
Galadriel was in her room, thinking about what she'd just learned from that guy, Nigun.
First, is that those hardcore-roleplaying noobs came here 600 years ago. She knew why the name of Slane Theocracy sounds so familiar; it was the name of their guild in Yggdrasil. Six of them made it here, along with those two, Alah Alaf and Surshana, from what Nigun told her.
They were the ones responsible for her popularity in this unfamiliar world; they call her The Supreme One or The Ancient One. They said that she was the God of gods, the one who sent them there.
Both of them also claimed their undying love to her and show everyone the photo of her and how she looks like, which help created statues at her name and such. She thanks God, that it was the one she took with them and not the one she took in real life to get the world items, just thinking about it makes her feel embarrassed. They also made temples on her name, giving her a few ideas of what to do.
Then she was told about the Eight greed kings and the moment she heard that name she knew immediately who they were. And honestly, their demise did not surprised her at all.
They fought among each other for the love of the promiscuous girl, and Galadriel could only laugh about it. But those eight helped to expand her legend.
Telling the world of her power and that she was more than a simple being. She doesn't know why exactly, but it would help her.
Then she heard about the thirteen heroes and the Black Knight, their leader. She didn't remember who was that person until she heard Nigun talk about how the leader of the thirteen heroes claims that you send him here to help to defeat the evil deities.
The black knight had a battle cry that involved her, "I am the black knight! The supreme goddess of Yggdrasil made my swords of darkness, Galadriel Melkor! They will bring ruin and justice to all my enemies! " The kid had a lot of fun here.
She is happy that the noob kid made it here and seems to had become strong here. Maybe he leveled up a lot. So now she was here thinking about what to do with this information.
She let that guy Nigun live; he wanted to prove himself useful, and he wants to serve her. He would gladly betray his nation for her. So, after that she made him swear an oath of loyalty using a world Item called [Lojal Krone] which practically makes him loyal to her and no one else. After that she sent him back to Slane Theocracy to act as a double agent.
She needs to know if those noobs brought any item that could harm Nazarick. Although she had a bunch of world items and she had the most powerful of the bunch, she didn't want to risk it. That aside, she might as well use the power of the items to protect Nazarick and the guardians.
Galadriel sighs, she needs more information about what to do exactly, there is a lot she doesn't know about this world. She looks down and saw the map Nigun gave her; different nations surrounded her, so that brought a question.
"What should I do?" she whispered.
"If I just expose myself to the world, what kind of reaction would that cause? Perhaps I should take a careful approach. Mmm, I got an idea," she said and pull her book, where she had a lot of ideas and notes.
"What does how to build an empire book said about all this. Let's see… The first step to build an empire is to acquire land and to manage it, then it is the expansion of influence and military power. The second one is the foundations of a monarchy, nobility, and the ideas behind the empire creed. That's not that complicated," Galadriel thought, reading the book. She took some notes as well.
"Well, it doesn't sound that difficult at all, but I don't have land or anything at all… well outside Nazarick," she thought.
"Wait, I can… yes, yes! I can use the persona of the Witch Queen to create an opportunity to destabilize a nation and then take care of it!" she smiles at her genius, but then she thought about something else.
She thought about something the Nigun guy said, the Adventurer's Guild.
"Mm, that organization could have someone strong, maybe I should send someone as an undercover adventurer, should I be one? It sounds appealing honestly, it would also help me understand what are those martial arts, but I need to keep my persona of the Witch Queen," then she thought about a certain creation of her. Galadriel knew that she is evading the impossible. Yet It will be a good opportunity to gather all guardians and explain her plans.
"{Albedo?}" she said starting her message.
"{Yes, my lady?}"
"{I need you to gather the guardians on the throne room, immediately}"
"{Understood, my lady. Gargantua and Victim as well?}" Galadriel thought for a second and decided that it was an excellent time to meet Victim, but since Gargantua is just a golem, it didn't matter. But she also needs to meet the strongest NPCs in Nazarick.
"{Bring Victim… and your sister, Rubedo as well}" Galadriel said and for a moment Albedo was complete silence.
"{Understood, lady Galadriel}" she cut message and call to her creation.
"{Pandora's Actor, are you there?}" she said.
"{Oh, meine dame! What can your loyal servant do for you?}" She almost hit her head on the table.
"{I need you to come to the throne room, meet with the other guardians, and to talk about my plans. Understood?}"
"{Dein wunsch ist mir befehl!}" this time she just let her head hit the table. But then, she thought about something… this is Pandora's actor, her creation. Meanwhile, she created him in a very embarrassing time of her life, he was still her creation.
Galadriel didn't want him to feel unloved. She shows love to every one of her friends' creations, so why not him? He was there when no one else was. He saw her cry many times. He heard her ramblings more than any other NPCs and she also knows German and she loved that language.
Besides, she still believes that his uniform is pretty badass, and he is strong. So, yeah, she would not feel embarrassed about him at all… maybe a little.
"{Ich werde auf dich warten}" she said in perfect German. She smiles a bit as she closes the message.
Galadriel gathers the guardians of the Great Tomb of Nazarick in the throne room. They looked nervous, especially since they were all called so urgently by their lady. One by one, they talked with each other.
"Sister, what you think is happening?" Mare asked her sister.
"I don't know…" Aura mumbled.
"Perhaps she will tell us about who is finally the first wife," said Shalltear with a smirk on her face.
"Pfff, yeah sure, not like you will be the one anyway," Aura said.
"What did you say?!" Shalltear snapped.
"What. Do. You. Think. Demiurge." Cocytus asks the devil next to him.
"I have few theories, after what we know about this world thanks to the information we got from the human, we should pay attention to what Lady Galadriel has to say," Demiurge said.
"Good, you are all here," they turned around and saw Albedo with two more people and a flying fetus.
"May I present you my little sister, Rubedo, the guardian of the 8th floor," they all looked at the childish girl.
Who, like her sister, had overlong hair with golden eyes, but that's pretty much it. She was wearing a golden armor that covers her entire body and a long lance on her hand. Behind her golden helmet that makes her look like a demon with a cute face, she looks the same size as Shalltear or the twins.
She looks unfazed by everyone in the room like she was just ignoring all of them. Albedo frowned at her.
"Rubedo it's disrespectful to not salute your fellow guardians," Albedo chide.
"Sorry, big sister, my name is Rubedo, please to meet all of you," she said with a bored voice.
"Oh, I didn't know you look like that, surprising that you have a little sister that looks like that Albedo," Shalltear said with a mocking tone, making sure she understands what she meant by that. Albedo only scowls.
"What do you mean, lamprey?" Albedo growled.
"Well, it's just that… I thought you would have another wide-mouth gorilla as a sister," Albedo was seething in anger but it was Rubedo who answer for her.
"Big talk from a failure," Rubedo said with a disdainful voice.
"Eh?! What do you mean?!" Shalltear said.
"What? Don't you remember your failure to protect the glorious tomb of Nazarick? It was Victim and me who stop those invaders, not you. I believe that you died fast too, Gargantua put more of a fight than you, and he is just a golem," Rubedo said with the same haughty voice from before but a huge smirk was visible on her face.
For the guardians who remember the invasion, that comment was powerful and sadistic. Mare and Aura felt depressed because they failed too, the same as Cocytus who looks ashamed. Shalltear wanted to scream, but she couldn't. She lost her voice in the pain of failing, that awful reminder of her failure as a guardian.
"Rubedo, that was uncalled for!" Albedo snaps at her, surprising everyone even Shalltear.
"You will apologize, young lady!" Rubedo lowers her head in shame, knowing full well that she had just crossed the line.
"Everyone, I apologize. My comment was disrespectful to all of you, I am sorry," she said bowing deeply. Albedo looks pleased with it.
"Um, it seems that there's a lot of energy in the young madame!" everyone looks at the Doppelgänger with a military uniform.
"Who is he?" Mare whispered to Aura, who seems to be as lost as her brother.
"Oh, es tut uns leid, my name is Pandora's Actor," he said with an exaggerated bow.
"He is Lady Galadriel's creation," Albedo said with clear jealousy in her voice.
"And he is Victim," Albedo present to the flying fetus with a look quite nervous around all.
"oɈiɔɒqƨɘb ƨoƨɘd ɒ ɘɈɿɒbυnƨɘb oɿɘiυp, oɈiɔɒqƨɘႧ (Pleasure to meet all of you, my name is Victim)" Victim said.
Suddenly they all feel the presence of their lady, as she appears walking with the grace of a goddess. Sebas and the Pleiades were following her dutifully. The guardians were all on their knees. It was only when she sat down on her throne that she allowed them to raise their heads.
"Rise, my guardians," Galadriel said.
"Now, thank you all for coming at such notice," she said as her aura increased.
"Now, I believe that you all know by now, that in this world my name is already… famous. Because of it, my plans would be easier to accomplish," she said and saw Demiurge smiling at her like he knows all of her plans.
"First, I would like to thank Victim, Rubedo, and Pandora's Actor to come here," she said.
"I will always heed the call of my lady," said Rubedo on her knees.
"The same goes for me, meine dame!" Pandora's said.
"γɒw ƨiʜɈ ɘɈiɿw oɈ ɘm qlɘʜ ɈɒʜɈ ɘϱɒq ɒ ƨi ɘɿɘʜT (The same for me, my Lady Galadriel)" Victim said.
"Thank you, now, Demiurge it's there any suggestion you may have to help my plan to come true?" she asked the demon who smiles at her.
"Of course, my lady," he said as he stood up.
"Now, Demiurge is one of the smartest in Nazarick, next to Albedo and Pandora's actor, I may take a few ideas from him, I need to take a kingdom or something like that,"meanwhile she was thinking to herself, she forgot that Demiurge was already telling all the guardians about the plans he thought, Galadriel had.
"Now, everyone hears carefully. Our lady brilliance knows no limit. Her foresight and wisdom have let us in this world where she had sent lesser beings to increase her name for us to use!" He said, and all the guardians gasped.
"Now, we need to put our part as well, to give this world to our lady, we will conquer this world! Mistakes are forbidden!" those words broke Galadriel from her thoughts and she simply had her mouth open.
"Wait, wait! World conquest?! That's too extreme! One step at the time, please! My plans are not that far away!" she thought in panic.
"First, we need to infiltrate in the other nations, like Re-Estize kingdom and Baharuth Empire, since they are our closer objectives. Thanks to the foresight of our lady, we already have an agent on the Slane Theocracy and we would soon infiltrate in the Roble Holy Kingdom," he said with a gleam on his face.
"Wait, what? What do you mean soon?" she is completely baffled, but she waits and hears more of this magical plan.
"After all, don't you think it is strange that Pandora's Actor and Rubedo are here?" he said with a smirk.
"The Roble Holy Kingdom relies heavily on the Theocracy, so we could trap them to our will, with Pandora's Actor ability we could enter the Holy Kingdom without a problem, as well to use the persona of our lady, the Witch Queen to create more problem with the nearby nations, and I believe that she is already planning to use another persona, right my lady?" Demiurge said and poor Galadriel was still thinking about the Holy kingdom and all that.
"You are right, as always, Demiurge," she said with a smile. The demon smiled and the rest of the guardians could only praise her more for some reason.
"To think so ahead, incredible,"
"As. Expected. Of. Our. Lady."
"So wonderful, my beloved,"
"I-incredible, sister!"
"I know right!"
"Ah, such a mind, ah, my dear lady,"
"Sie ist die beste von allen!"
"ɒzziq ɘʞil I ʞniʜɈ I (Incredible!)"
Galadriel only thought about what she got herself into.
