Note: Sorry about the wait. I was sick for 5 days and things snowballed on me.
Chapter 5:
The great and powerful ruler Ainz Ooal Gown's Perspective:
"Oh crap. Oh crap! Where the hell is all this power coming from?" That spell was only intended to gather power from the lightning I was going to unleash with the weather control scroll [Summon Storm].
A Green light flares around Ainz's skull. [Peace of the Grave].
Ainz examines the runes being printed on each sucsessive wave in brilliant blue as it glides out across the inky black sky. Ah. That rune seems to be inverted, interesting. So the intake for the energy funnel is pointed at the ground instead of the sky. The flaming orbs in Ainz's sockets glide over the cordon of 150 death nights surrounding the ritual site. Then it slid over the assembled guardians and the Maids of the Pleiades finally coming to rest on an exhausted Shalltear who was collapsed before him. Ah she looks so tired she is even panting and rubbing her sore muscles. Hey isn't that a bit low ... Ainz's gaze is distracted by movement and switches to Shalltear's other hand which was swiping repeatedly through the air. The nonexistent heart of Ainz Ooal Gown warmes with pride. She must be trying to give me more of her energy despite her exhausted state. Although, in truth that is the last thing I need right now.
Turning his gaze heavenward Ainz once again contemplates the growing mass of MP that is swirling around a small core of highly refined divine manna. The ball was feeding from both above, via the collection web, and below, from the collected static electricity. The bolts had reached a radius of 3.15 centimetres and at a temperature of 27760 degrees C it was a cage of instant death for an undead. "I am so boned!"
A Green light flares around Ainz's skull. [Peace of the Grave].
Skeletal hands rise up to cover his vacant eye sockets as frustration bubbles up with in the spell caster as the last wisps of his MP begin to drain in the effort to maintain control of the gathering mass above his head.
A Green light flares around Ainz's skull. [Peace of the Grave].
The green radiance reflects off a silver band on his right hand drawing the now calmed gaze of Ainz Ooal Gown, max level player. That ring! Ainz Ooal Gown shouts, "Shooting star Mal Ring, heed my command and grant my wish!"
A tiny blue crystal disappears. And a million virtual coins flip into imaginary air. Ainz's luck stat activates and in a flash of unseen light one million coins come up showing a skull face with glowing red eyes turning million to one odds into a sure thing. For one plank second after nothing at all happened. Then everything happens.
A Boltzmann point of mass/energy density pops into existence and explodes forever.
A goddess screams and whirls to see what pinched her. This disturbs the firmament and causes gas to begin spinning around each other and collapsing down. The first star burns. The first black hole begins to feed its everlasting hunger. The first galaxy to form shines its light out into the eternal night.
A muse whispers in a game developer's ear about a little bauble that players are sure to fork out for.
A lonely man without family or friends dons a set of deep dive head gear and boots up Yggdrasil for the first time.
The tier twelve spell [WISH] is cast.
The pantheons of a hundred quadrillion worlds gasp and draw back as a skeletal hand reaches out to grab the weave and pulls the curtain of existence around itself to form a shroud.
The whirling orbs explode into a cascading pattern of fractal replication filling the sky with a hundred thousand circling orbs of super tier magic. For but a brief moment this tree stands revealed. Yggdrasil the world tree seemed to exist there before them. With one hand the gamer, Suzuki Satoru, tosses game data crystals above an egg that no longer houses a dragon of legend. While in his other hand he crushes two instant cast super tier magic tokens from the all powerful cash shop.
The mass of magical energy pours down in rivulets of blue, purple and gold as it is funnelled with ever quickening speed, from the pressure above, down towards the waiting egg. However, when the tornado of new world magic strikes the magic of the Yggdrasil game data crystals it is transformed into coherent beams that bath the egg's shell in a rainbow of magical radiance. But the magic was not allowed to build up for the runes and sigils inscribed on the outer surface drank deeply of the power and grew bright. The luminosity grew so that all those with eyes to see had to look away but Ainz Ooal Gown watched on. Once the spell concluded and vanished from the world as if it had never been. Applause and cheering erupted from the crowd. Mare had reported to the rest of Nazarick that the Supreme One appreciated applause after a display of his incredible power and no one present doubted that what they had just witnessed qualified.
Wow, I'm actually still alive. Ainz thought in a half dazed state. This was supposed to be the easy part!
A Green light flares around Ainz's skull. [Peace of the Grave].
Ainz returns his attention to the crowd and prepared himself to speak. "Thank you all for being here and a special thank you for all those who participated." Turning back to what used to be the egg of a mere legendary beast Ainz picks the charged magic item up off its stand and resizes it to be comparable to that of a hummingbird's egg and places it into his inventory. Then ignoring further praise from the crowd he turns and begins walking towards Albedo. Now for the hard part of the plan.
Albedo's Point of View
She wasn't entirely sure what had just happened but she was convinced it had been incredible. Now the man she loved was walking confidently towards her ignoring all others. It might be petty but the fact he was walking away from Shaltear, her romantic rival, was the whipped cream on her strawberry short cake.
Albedo looks down at her master's extended hand then backup at the glowing embers in his sockets, "Albedo would you walk with me?"
"Of course my Lord." She placed her left hand in his hand and intertwined her fingers with his bone fingers. This left her Axe hand free. The state of Lord Ainz's MP had not escaped her notice. Her first duty was to serve as the last of the Supreme Ones' shield.
He led her away from the others and out into the forest. After walking for 21 minutes they emerged once again in to another clearing. Before them was a small lake illuminated by the moon and stars. The still water acts as a compact mirror for the heavens. As they near the shore line Ainz casually extends a hand and presses his palm against the trunk of a nearby tree. With a snap the tree falls to the side providing a bench upon which to see and look out over the water.
"It is beautiful here Lord Ainz" said Albedo as she leaned in to rest her body against his. The skeletal hand slipped from hers and for a moment Albedo thought that she had over stepped but then Ainz's arm closed around her shoulders draping her in the fold of his raven black cloak. "Did you have Mare make this place?"
"No, all this is natural. It was found by Momon back when he was an orakulum ranked adventurer. He accepted a job to remove an aggressive goblin tribe from the area. While he was looking for the goblins lair he stumbled across this place.", replied as Ainz continues to gaze out over the water.
"Ah so you and Nauberal..." inquired Albedo but Ainz interrupted her.
"No Nabe was checking a different sector at the time. You are the only woman I've been here with.", Declared Lord Ainz.
Albedo's heart warmed even further. She snuggled in even closer pressing one breast into her lord side. He had intended to make this their place even so long ago and he had been thinking of her. Any lingering doubt that she would claim the position of first wife to the Sorcerer King was shoved out the door. And yet why are we just sitting here? Not that this isn't fantastic but isn't he planning to take me tonight? With a blink Albedo examines ainz's MP finding it nearly returned to normal. Perhaps he is waiting to be at full potencey before having his way with me. Albedo turns her head so Ainz wouldn't see the manic smile splitting her face.
Once again composed Albedo lays her cheek against Ainz's chest being mindful of her horns. While Ainz certainly possessed physical strength As a magic caster he was far weaker than a level 100 warrior like Albedo. This had been demonstrated that time she had been a bit naughty and tackled her master in a bid to jump his bones. Despite being sent to her room for three days the incident remained as one of her most cherished memories. Thus she was cognizant of the need to avoid inflicting damage on him. Raising her right hand Albedo begins to run her fingers over and between the bones of Ainz's chest.
"Albedo, are you sure this is what you want?" questioned the skeleton she was fawning over. The incredulity was just too much. Albedo jumps up off the log and takes several steps towards the water stopping only when to go any further, without using her wings, would mean getting her shoes wet.
Ainz's Perspective.
Well that was stupid! But considering their working relationship he had thought he should give her every opportunity to back out. Being a boss is even harder than I thought. Plus I'm a complete noob at romance. In his life as a human despite making an acceptable income he had gotten by on the bare minimum of expenses. Everything else had gone into the virtual world of Yggdrasil. It had turned out to have been the best investment of his life. However, it hadn't left any cash to date women in the real world. Thank goodness for porn so he at least had a general idea of what he was supposed to do. Not that it mattered now that he had blown it.
Suzuki Satoru groaned. But I was just trying to do the right thing. It had taken along time to see Albedo as a woman in her own right as well as the child of one of his cherished friends. What with his fooling around with her settings sleeping with her had struck him as too rapey for comfort. But that day Albedo had forced him to the floor with the intent to have her way with him he had realised that the status quo would not hold forever and he would have to take responsibility.
Albedo unclenched her fists as the sound of a gasp reached Ainz's skull. Then she turned on her heel and strode toward the undead with hips swinging and a look in her eyes that Suzuki Satoru thought could best be described as predatory. Before Ainz knew what was happening she had moved in between his legs and plunked her plump bottom down on his left leg. Then arching her back she pressed her breasts into his collar bone. Ainz was so stunned that his jaw fell open burying his pointed chin in Albedo's cleavage. Looking down at him Albedo asked, "May I kiss you Lord?"
