Chapter 3
"Uhh… Lupu? I just wanted to be a normal maid…"
Sasaki, the blue haired pale skinned homunculi in a maid outfit, eyed towards the red haired wolf capped maid who simply shrugged.
"I don't know Sasaki, the others would be pretty upset to see a supreme being reduced to the status of maid~su… It was hard enough to convince everyone to make you part of the Pleiades, some of us even don't want you to be lowered that much~su."
Sasaki couldn't help but sigh at Lupusregina's remark. As much as she wanted to deny it, half of the npcs are indeed not turned into their server counterpart seeing as they just flat out don't exist… Which means…
"It is indeed as what Lupusregina had said lady Sasaki, please leave the Pleiades. We are not worthy to house a supreme being!" Sasaki turned around to meet Narberal Gamma standing behind her. Oh boy…
"I understand where you are coming from but really, I just want to be a maid!"
Even though Sasaki's words left her mouth, Narberal seemed just as adamant about keeping her from having a simplistic life in Nazarick… It doesn't help that she is roughly as strong as Ainz, erm, Momonga…
Looking towards the insectoid maid beside her, she hoped she managed to at least get the message 'please help' across clearly. Feeling a wave of relief when she gave what she had assumed was a thumbs up she began to rela-
"Oh come on you two, if a supreme being wants to be a maid it's probably because she's making steps for her 10,000 year plan she developed together with the supreme beings!"
'DAMN IT ENTOMA!'
"How could I be so foolish as to obstruct the supreme being's plans!"
For a moment Sasaki could have sworn Narberal's eyes perked up in interest. Only to blink as she restored back her usual stoic self.
'Please don't fall into that pithole Narberal…'
"Oh, of course su~. How can I forget about the supreme being's 10,000 year plan su~!" The red haired werewolf teased, seemingly to have caught on to what the insectoid maid is implying.
Just as she was about to rebut the two however, the sounds of gunfire caught the three's attention. Sasaki, rotating her head towards the general direction of the gunshot, found herself looking towards the Nazarick bar…
And a certain red dressed vampire with oversized Christmas lights for wings rushing into the room… It didn't take long before the room thundered a loud splitting echo rushing into her ears.
A pregnant silence followed as the three maids silently watched the smoldering ashes slowly escape the Nazarick bar room. The insectoid and werewolf especially began to process the actions that happened in quick succession.
"Actually, I think we can make an exception for you to be a regular maid su~" The red haired werewolf muttered while wincing. Unfortunately, Lupusregina wasn't as silent as she had hoped…
"LUPUSREGINA!"
"Just kidding su~ I'm just kidding…" as the red haired werewolf pouted momentarily, the three began to investigate the noise coming from the nazarick bar.
~Line break~
"And that's how we have a blue crack in the middle of the Nazarick bar isekai-ing random things… Chaos is fixing that problem right now and Undead is removing everything excessive the crack occasionally warps to the bar… We had a jet fighter plop out of nowhere by the way… Anyways, that's what's happening…"
Momonga paused momentarily, his mind processing the message the blonde vampire child had given him. He entertained the idea of bringing all of the members with him so he could keep an eye on them all. But soon decided against it since they would no doubt cause all sorts of nonsense with their seemingly random yet overpowered powers… That seemed like a recipe for many disasters…
"Is there a problem Lord Ai *Ahem* Lord Momonga?"
Looking towards the white haired caster, he felt more information dump itself to the already overloaded mind of his. Frankly if it wasn't for his [Emotional Suppression] he might have been scrambling in a panic trying to piece everything together.
"Erm, no Inkrael. Just thinking about a crack appearing on the 9th floor Ozimyy just messaged me about… Chaos and Undead fixing it right now though…"
To Momonga's surprise, Reinhard immediately perked up at his response to the grand caster. Looking somewhat disturbed by the news.
"Was it a floating purple crack in the air by chance?" The blonde in the trench coat asked.
"Yes… Not purple but how did you know?" Momonga responded.
The blonde haired reality warper proceeded to glance a direction momentarily before looking back towards him. Was he considering something?
"If I were to tell you that… I've seen what happened when you got here on your own… How would that make you feel?"
Ainz paused, thinking about it for a second he recalled the members, the christmas winged vampire and the grand caster especially, occasionally calling him 'Ai' or 'Ain' before rectifying their mistake in hopes he wouldn't notice.
Initially he assumed it was the members having difficulties with in-universe name differences like Touch Me and Inkrael but with Reinhard 's new question, he wasn't so sure…
'Is that why everyone keeps calling me 'Ai' or 'Ain'? It seems almost like the guild's name, was it because I called myself the guild's name if I were to be isekai'd here alone?'
"ROB told you about what would happen to me without you guys before you warped here didn't he?"
"Yyyyeeeeaaaahhhh… Pretty much."
The blonde reality warper almost looked relieved after Momonga came to that conclusion… Though Momonga was having second doubts with his answer he didn't want to bother the reality warper capable of blinking him out of existence. Even though he is aware that it most likely wouldn't come to that…
Reaching towards the dark void known as his inventory he grabbed hold of a red mask decorated with blue lenses, green lines and a sinister looking grin before fitting it on his face. Judging on the reactions of the two girls he just healed he's almost certain the humans here would panic upon seeing his undead nature.
"How magnificent of you Momonga-sama~ To have the other supreme beings find a way to bend the very fabric of reality so as to open ways to other worlds! Your foresight is amazing lord Momonga!"
Gah, he forgot Albedo was still here, he could practically see the succubus' aura gleaming around her… Did she listen to everything he said? And how did she even know the crack was able to bridge to other worlds?
"Yeah, she's going to be doing that alot here… Most NPCs are actually, just be glad Demiurge isn't one of them… In this universe at least…"
As much as Ainz would like to curse ROB's name, for some reason he felt as though ROB wasn't involved in causing the npcs to bootlicking his status this time around…
~line break~
Rainerius trembled, a blonde haired woman dressed in blue stood near the corpses of his fellow comrades. The source of his comrades' demise? The very woman who's emerald eyes bore towards him with the intent to kill should he so much as twitch a muscle…
Several men charged towards the woman, one drew his blade towards the sky in an attempt to strike her down. Only for the blade that should be non-existent in her hands to cut him right through the stomach, another attempted to surprise her by striking the woman from behind. Perhaps he might have been successful had he not have been screaming his lungs out but alas, due to his incompetence he found himself cut from shoulder to waist.
Unable to stop their momentum, the rest of the men charging attempted to merely overwhelm her with sheer numbers. Had the woman been holding a blade that couldn't cut through armour like it is butter this might have worked, unfortunately much like the corpses before, the woman found practically no resistance cutting these men in half, a quick but simple rotation with her blade sticking in front of her had the men pouring pools of their own blood everywhere.
Rainerius wasn't a trained knight, hell, most of his comrades were not trained knights… They were all members of Sunlight Scripture, disguised as knights of the Baharuth Empire to ransack several villages to lure in Gazef Stronoff, the strongest warrior of the Re-Estize Kingdom, in hopes for the main force to surround and kill him.
However they did not expect to be fighting a woman holding an invisible blade of sorts to be going around slaughtering them with ease before Stronoff had even arrived…
Naturally when confronted by an unstoppable force of nature Rainerius did what most humans would do in that situation, he turned tail and ran. Ignoring the furious screamings his leader shouted off before his head had been removed from the torso shortly after he uttered his first word.
It didn't take very long before his surviving comrades decided to follow Rainerius' lead. All scattering in various directions in hopes to flee the madwoman now behind them. Unfortunately he and his remaining comrades did not account for the woman to be able to also manipulate the very air they breathe.
It is then unsurprising that he, along with most, if not all of his surviving comrades, were swiftly knocked to the ground, his body rolling to his backside in hopes for his leg to be able to push himself far enough away from the woman to pick himself up and flee.
However before he could do so he heard a voice echo, one that halted the woman's rampage on his fellow brother in arms.
"That's enough Artoria…"
His attention turned towards the source of the voice, a pale brown skinned man with white hair dressed primarily in black and white outlined with red standing right in front of the forest. Next to him was a man in dark robes wearing a red mask, however both of them though seemingly nightmarish to deal with in their own right paled in comparison to the deceptively simplistic looking blonde man in a trench coat who looked annoyed at Rainerius' very existence, as though a god was staring down at an insignificant ant such as him.
As much as he would like to run, he found his legs suddenly unable…
~line break~
"You'd think adding two super beings would have changed the plot significantly… Knew I should have gotten Christmas lights to join you…"
Just as their walk in the forest was starting to go smoothly, the voice Momonga dreaded hearing the most popped up again. Momonga began to brace, if his experiences with ROB so far is anything to go by the being would no doubt cause some headaches very soon.
"That's a bit unfair, no? We just got here not even a day ago…" Noticing his surroundings in stasis while blatantly disregarding his time resistance. Momonga attempted to reason with this being that popped out of nowhere.
"Momonga, what are you-" Reinhard began to say, only to be cut off at the bored omnipotent being.
"You say that, but I took a peek into the future… Nothing has changed, in the new world at the very least…" Noticing the overlord's attention split towards the air, the blonde reality warper quickly caught on to the events happening in front of him.
"Not on my watch you dipshit! THIS TOMB AND ITS DENIZENS SHALL NOT BE YOUR TOYS!" A golden spear instinctively appeared onto Reinhard's hands. The spear seemingly possessing nigh-absolute rulership of reality, shining with power not meant to be, Momonga wouldn't be surprised if it can asunder reality like hot knife through butter. The air around the overlord began to shake as Reinhard and the being that recently popped out of nowhere began to wrestle control over reality.
"Ho? Didn't think you'd be ballsy enough to challenge me, trench coat…" The mysterious being offhandedly commented. "Well, I was going to turn the knights here into demon pillars, the ones Inkrael is all too familiar with, but it seems messing with trench coat over there is going to be a bit more fun."
Reinhard winced, now able to hear the being he quickly noticed how little it was taking this seriously. But hell is he just going to let Nazarick be this random thing's play thing…
"I hope you like the gift I left you by the way, will be seeing you soon you two~" Seemingly disappearing to who knows where, Inkrael, no longer stuck in the ROB powered time stasis, began to notice the two on guard for some reason.
"Are you two alright?" He asked.
Reinhard merely grumbled in a voice too faint for the grand caster to hear, Momonga on the other hand merely sighed…
"Yeah, just a run in with ROB again…" He offhandedly mentioned.
Inkrael's mouth dropped upon hearing that nickname. Not looking forward to his next meeting with the literal omnipotent thing, though he couldn't help but note how soon he met them… Just after they began their journey…
Though the three couldn't help but grumble at the idea of meeting ROB again, the armoured succubus found herself shaking. Though she had heard the Pleiades having a run in with this ROB individual she didn't think she would be so helpless in the face of it… She didn't even notice the being until it just left…
"Lord Momonga, Lord Reinhard … Was that…" Noticing the succubus struggling to come to terms that there is an omnipotent being playing games with the poor Overlord he only nodded…
"Albedo, I know what you may be thinking but this is a being npcs alone can't deal with." The grand caster pointed out, entertaining ROB may be one thing but trying to deal with him is another. He doesn't even know if anyone is even capable of actually harming him let alo-
"Lord Momonga, mind if I take charge dealing with ROB? I feel like only me or Chaos are capable of doing anything with him…" Reinhard said, snapping the grand caster out of his thought process.
"Very well Reinhard , I'm putting you in charge of dealing with ROB." Internally Momonga felt conflicted letting one of his friends, alternate universe version or not, handle ROB himself. However seeing as he was the only individual capable of reality warping who did anything to it, it seems like he didn't have any options… He can only hope Reinhard wouldn't hate him too much…
"If I may ask Lord Reinhard , may I join you in your endeavor, my lord?"
He could tell she is bothered by the ROB encounter, though apparently it was because ROB made her really obsessed with him. Most of the members pointed out that was what happened in canon, apparently he would have made her fall in love with him if ROB didn't jump in and did it first… But he couldn't figure out how they knew that…
Exiting the forest, they weren't surprised to see the knights all knocked down by the female knight. Her invisible blade pointed towards the man in front of her, ready to impale him in the gut before…
"That's enough Artoria…" Inkrael voiced loudly, not quite enough to be a shout but certainly enough for her to hear him. "As for you false knights, do not cause trouble here again. If you do, I won't hesitate to destroy you all…"
