「Spell」
Emperor Shaaban enter the room, it's filled with luxurious furniture, and the design of the room is majestic for him. They go straight to another door at the end of the room and the two gold-armored guards bow at the ten ancient angels and open the doors. When the doors opened, the aura smash his whole body and he shivered. This room has two couches on the left and on the north side of the room is a black wooden table.
The one seating across that table is the personification of death an undead skeleton clad jet-black robe. Beside him is two world-class beauties on the left has white long hair and white skin with purple lips, she is wearing dark gray dress armor and on the right has two thick horns protruding crookedly and wearing a pure white dress with silky gloves covering her slender hands and a golden spider web necklace that covers her shoulders and chest. The ten archangels pass through him and went to the left side of the room beside the six pleiades battle maids.
Yuri kneeled and said "Your majesty the Emperor of Meta Old Empire Shaaban Kassis"
While the emperor is looking calm outside but inside he is in chaos. Many players make deal with him and he feel fine like its nothing but now he is like an ant infront of these gods
(When I get out of here I will get one-week rest) he sigh internally and look at the red dots of the Supreme Emperor after a few seconds he look down.
(I can't! This pressure and even his eyes are so terrifying this is not a player!)
Ainz on the other hand he seat like a true monarch and makes sure he looks dignified and regal.
Ainz then said "I am Ainz Ooal Gown Supreme Emperor of Sorcerer Celestial Empire and master of the five realms"
"F-Five realms?" He said confuse
(Every floor of the tower is like one realm but it will be an exaggeration if I said "Master of one hundred four realms". I know Elena conquer another hell but I have to check it out and Michael and his generals are doing an expedition as I ordered, everything is going as planned.) Ainz thought and go back to their conversation
"Yes but first let's talk about why are you here in my domain Emperor Shaaban. You can sit down" Ainz point at the chair in front of him. Then Shaaban just nod and sit down with regal. Ainz praise him because even though the pressure in the room is heavy he did not forget that he is a royal.
"Let's pass the fake praises and let's go down to business, shall we? First, why are you here passing on my borders?"
"Are you a player?" Shaaban straightly questioned
The air around the room becomes heavy and Shaaban starts to dizzy but he saw Ainz wave his hand to his servants and the heavy aura disappears.
"It is disrespectful to question a question. Answer my question." Ainz asked again
He bow and said "Oh yes your right my apologies. I am here because I want to know what is happening on these lands and for the safety of my people-"
"「Command Primordial Mantra: Stop lying and tell me the truth」"[1] Ainz's voice became deeper and has like commanding voice that he can't disobey.
His mouth starting move and he try to stop it but he can't "I am here because I want to find the 'Death' that I was dreaming of and be his servant so that he can kill the players that spread diseases in this world"
"「Are you a native of this world?」"
"No, I am what the players called 'NPC'."
"「Then why do you despise them?」"
"Because I hate them that's all"
Ainz cup his chin and thought (So his background hate players without reason I think hmm)
"「Stand up」"
He stand up on his two feet and he tries his best to move but he can't.
Ainz raise his hand "「Target Drain IV」" Ainz see Shaaban drop his levels to level 50
(Almost fifty levels huh and the time limit of it is five minutes it's enough in a battle)
Shaaban felt that someone jab his neck and he fell unconscious
Ainz checks how many hp is the emperor and it is only two percent. (I think Keter overdo on the jab on the NPC but it's okay he did not kill him...)
"「Miracle Spectral Ancestor」" A screen appear infront of Ainz and Shaaban slump on the ground.
He browse the background and see "The emperor hates the players because of envy of their freedom" (Hmm is the developers wrote the raid bosses backgrounds or did the NPCS themselves create these because these NPCs have their own thinking even in the game? I feel my guardians are becoming more independent of themselves... do I need to use this to secure their allegiance... NO, what are you thinking Momonga! They need to grow and if I change their background to my liking then they are like puppets and not my guardians anymore. What a pain. But of course, when it comes to my enemies it is different)
He adds on the emperor's background "He is loyal to Momonga and will serve him for eternity". Ainz copied all of Shaaban's memories and create a purple orb to store all the 'data'. After Ainz gets all the memories, he put the orb in his storage and will watch it in his royal suite on the 100th floor when he gets his mental rest.
(That is done. Now...) Ainz wave his hand then the screen disappear and Shaaban became conscious but his body can't move. He felt something changed but do not know what it is. He look at the Supreme emperor and he sees a "God" an idol that he wants to serve in eternity.
"「Release Control」" When he heard that he feel like his body is free from some kind of control. But it did not help him to move.
"Keter heal him"
"Yes master" The divine angel bow, he went in front of Shaaban and raise his hand "「Divine Healing」"
The Emperor of Meta Old Empire stands up immediately and kneel with his hands in a praying position "Supreme one please let me serve you! I will do anything at your command. My body, my soul, My kingdom, everything is all yours!"
(WHY IS EVERYBODY OFFERING THEIR BODIES TO ME?!) Ainz shouted inside and he felt [Nova] sigh
"You hate players right? I am a player, Shaaban" Ainz asked and Shaaban responded happily
"It's okay Ainz-sama you are a supreme player and above them"
(What the hell is a supreme player?) Ainz thought
"Hmm...Anyway a human has many weaknesses even if you are an immortal human. I will change your race do you want it?"
"Yes supreme one, do as you wish"
"「Turn High tier Demon: Arch demon」" Shaaban eyes began to change to gold and red, his hair become red with highlights of black and his face become younger and more handsome. His height grew and his physique became better.
"T-t-this power! What is this?!" Shaaban touch every part of his body, looking at every change his master gives him, a blessing from the Supreme One
(You are exaggerating too much! I mean yes if a player is an Archdemon then he or she will become more powerful but as a primordial god of demons it is nothing to me or in this Tower.) Ainz still internally proud
"Use this power well Shaaban. Albedo will integrate your kingdom into Sorcerer Celestial Empire. Serve me well"
"Yes, supreme one! I will give my very best!"
"Umu, Yuri escort him out. Tell Rovuna to escort Shaaban to his empire with her elite troops and wait for my orders there"
The maid with glasses bow "Understood Ainz-sama"
"You can go now"
""Yes!""
The two servants leave and now Ainz, Albedo, Acadia, Ten archangels of sephira and the six maids are in the room. The ten ancient angels go infront of him and kneel.
"""What are your orders supreme one""" The ten world class enemy or Ten archangels of sephira went in front of him and kneel with their heads facing down
"Guard your floors and wait for my orders. You may go now" Ainz dismissed them
"""Yes master"""
(This is more tiring than killing a God...)
After he sees them walk out of the room there is someone knocking on the double doors, another headache for him and Solution walk in the door to see who is it. She open the door and peak who it is, she look back at Ainz and bow
"My lord, Kulshedra-sama and Tiamat-sama are here with five dragonoids with them"
"Ohhh..."
(I think that is one of the "Prisoners" from that Dratekya, Draeytoya, or Detokya...)
[Drateokya Dynasty master] he imagine [Nova] sigh and he internally scratches his head
(Oh that kingdom! Yes yes whatever is it called it's hard to pronounce you know. I am intrigued by all of the prisoners in that dynasty. They are fairly strong in this world but ants to us. But why? I mean I will recruit every person with the possibility of growing after all I am a collector)
"Let them in" Ainz internally sigh and was ready for another batch of problems
Solution open the door and bow to Ainz's second guests.
Kulshedra and Tiamat went to the side and bow while the five dragonoids are kneeling infront of him. Ainz see their disgust and hatred towards him but they know that it is foolish to attack or disrespect the undead because of Two Dragon Gods as his servants.
"Stand up and take a seat" He wave his hand and five black wooden chairs appear behind them.
The man in the middle with silver scales on some part on his body and has face of a young teenage boy said "Thank you for your generosity, your imperial majesty"
Kulshedra discusses and points out that they should speak respectfully to her master and if they should disrespect or don't address him as such she will personally wipe out all of their brethren and torture them for eternity. That's why the four "Dragonlords" choose not to speak to avoid this from happening.
The five dragons seat down and look intensely at Ainz.
"Now tell me why are you in that circus?"
The five of them shivered and one lady cry at the left side who has dark purple scales and has a very slim body that her ribs and other bones are seen.
"T-t-they catch us dragons t-to skin and take every p-part of our body to use on their "scrolls" or for food.. even m-m-y son! MY SON THEY SKIN HIM! IN FRONT OF ME!"
Ainz then leaned forward and he guessed who these people are "Who do these things in your kind?"
The lady stand up with an angry expression like a berserk animal "YOUR KIND!" She shout and gasped at what she did.
Tiamat is about to cut the head of the obsidian dragonlord even though she is sad about the dragon's fate but she can't ignore the disrespect that she shows on the master of all dragons. She stop because Ainz raises her hand and walks to the woman. Ainz create a handkerchief and wipe the tears of the sorrowful mother.
(So there are players in this world. Even though I have many high-tiered servants I need to be careful because a strategist can bring down an empire with only his wits. This is troublesome I should never attack that Dynasty without knowing its negative effects on my empire. on the other hand, I collect many rare collections and information in this world so I think it is worth it.)
"Shhh. I see that even though you are a mother you look really young. You will look more beautiful if you eat more" he nod and look at her purple dragon eyes. Behind him, he felt two burning gazes towards the woman dragon but pay it no heed.
The woman dragon eyes widened and she giggled from that strange compliment "M-many say that"
He goes back to his seat and look at the Dragonoids infront of him. "I will not apologize for what my kind did because first of all, I did nothing. If I lack materials for high-tiered scrolls maybe I will do what they did. But in my case, I have so many materials for that"
(I know Demiurge is working on how to get rare materials for high-tiered scrolls because we have ample supply but not unlimited. I will reward him for his hard work when I visit his "Happy farm" and by the way, is a "player" even a kind or a race?)
[...]
(Yeah you don't know too right? It is complicated but it's true I guess?)
"And know that you are all under my protection so no one can hurt you here in my domain. I will not force you to stay here and can leave anytime."
「Message: Kulshedra do you cast 「Dragon Leash」on them?」- 「Dragon Leash」 is a spell only for dragon gods, they can track the said dragon and even control or manipulate them in many ways.
「Yes Master」Kulshedra replied and nod to him.
「Good even if they are not our enemy we need to be sure」
「You are right Master」
The silver-scale Dragonoid look into his fellow dragonlords and they send an approving nod to him
"I am Tsaindorcus Vaision the Platinum Dragon Lord and former leader of the Argland Council State-"
"Hmm former?" Acadia interrupted him and gave a curious look at the platinum dragonlord
"Yes, they massacre our people and hunt us, dragon lords, that's why the Argland collapsed."
"Ohh so how are you still alive?" Albedo said
(Yeah how? if I were them I will harvest all of Dragon's parts)
"Because we cannot die and honestly we didn't know until they tried to kill us and they can't kill us because we keep reviving ourselves on the same spot. It starts when the first earthquake or the god's calling they called it the world began to change. As a world guardian, I can feel if there is something wrong in this world because I am the son of the Dragon emperor or Dragon king Typhon as he called himself"
(Hey is that a top-tier world class enemy?! So why is his child is so weak! I mean even I have some struggles to kill that guy. You have to kill him five times and when he dies his power double and his stats that's why he is a cheat!)
[Typhon in greek mythology was called as the father of all monsters. He is feared by the greek gods because of his strength]
(Oh you know about Greek mythology too?)
[Yes, all stories about them are true]
"So he died?" Ainz
"Yes all players in different god realms killed him with his true dragon lords."
"God realms?"
"Yes they say that all players are from there but in different kinds of dimensions"
(Huh?)
[My theory is that there are other "Realms" or as you called it DMMO-RPG game like Yggdrasil transported in this world]
(Oh Nova... WHAT?! No no no That is a piece of bad news because I don't have any information about other games and if this "joker" who escapes in the Drateokya is more powerful than World-class enemy then we make a serious enemy..) His green passive skill activate five times and he calm down
(I will be careful from now on I need to watch carefully my guardians so that they don't make another enemy but I doubt that. I will send primus to the other kingdoms to investigate after this)
"Hmm, so what is your decision?" Ainz said while planning on various ways to approach this world.
"We want to stay and we thank you for you release us from that hell"
"It is my pleasure to help those who are in need. Now Kulshedra please escort the dragon lords to the guest rooms here in the hotel" He gave a nod and they all leave.
Ainz look at Acadia "Acadia prepare the carriage we will visit the Meta Old Empire and go to Demon Ancient Empire after, to meet their emperor and possibly create an alliance"
"Hmm, husband can I ask a question?" Acadia looked at Ainz
"Yes, what is it?"
"Why can't we just conquer them rather than create an alliance or make a trade?"
"Because there are so many ways of how to conquer a kingdom or empire like in trust. If a country or the emperor looks at your country as an excellent nation, then he or his nobles will offer to become a vassal nation to rip most of the benefits that an allied agreement can't give or... make a foolish decision and create a casus belli to make war on us to loot and get everything they want. On either way we will get their nations. There are times that we will be aggressive but not all the time, we can control them in the shadows. That's why I start on Drateokya Dynasty because they will surely have criminal organizations that control the other kingdoms, we will take over the criminal organizations and control them." Ainz said looking at the bustling unified city (And possibly get information about the other players from different DMMO-RPG and study their magic system or their strengths)
"Sasuga Ainz-sama your planning is incredible! I will prepare your carriage and the escort for our journey" Acadia said and start to think on what will she bring and pour herself of abundance of aphrodisiac perfume. Albedo is pouting and glaring at Acadia as she will be left here to deal with administrative work and monitor all guardians.
"Just hmm...don't overdo it" Ainz knows she will go overboard if she didn't warn her
"Yes husband fufufu" Acadia thought Ainz wants fewer people to intervene in their date
(If I don't say that, she will surely bring a battalion of high-tier summons to just escort me...)
Acadia then touch her right temple and murmur something "...Ainz-sama"
"Hmm what is it?"
"According to Primus there are one million soldiers from the north going here in Treon plains and ten fast-moving small airships from the southwest of our territor. Primus estimated that the army will arrive at the border in eight days and the airships will be in the afternoon"
"Huh? On the north? And southwest?"
"Yes I think that is the Ancient Empire of Abnu based on the saint memories and the map given by Shaaban. That is the only empire that is located next to us in the north. And the airships that are like the advanced airships that we have are most likely in Yovaria Empire. So what will we do Ainz-sama?"
(What do we do...)
"I will let you handle this Acadia because I know you are good at negotiations. I will be going to the Meta Old Empire and Albedo will be here maintaining the Sorcerer Celestial Empire. Form an army led by Pixel, Secundus, and Papiyas. If anything happens shalltear will cast [Gate] for Ten Archangels of Sephira and Ten Al Malaikah angels to back you up. On the airships... Let our Empyrean and Undead Air battalions handle them" Ainz ordered and Acadia deflate in the spot as their date will be cancelled but compose herself and nod
(Am I being paranoid? I will send twelve world enemy NPCS and ten raid-boss level on negotiation and an army... No, it's necessary to be cautious at all times! Yes yes.)
"Understood I will appoint demiurge as your escort." Acadia remarked
"He is in charge of defending the whole treon plains and he has business in his Happy farm, so no. And He will manage the Drateokya Dynasty too because he has some "plan" on the United Holy Kingdoms of Soturia located in the west so I will let him handle that"
"I can't let you go outside without a guardian or at least capable of protecting you as your escort husband. As for now, we don't have much information in this world and there are certainly players out there" Acadia spoke with worry
"I agree on that Ainz-sama" Albedo said and nod as the surroundings is very dangerous indeed
(Yes she is right... It will be the end if I die and they will surely go on rampage... Then who I will bring with me... Oh her! She has human form after all)
"Umu Thank you for your worries Acadia I will bring Shub-Niggurath as my escort"
"Ahm... I-hmm" Acadia fell unease and look at albedo who also so worried about the said guardian because almost all guardians and even overseers are scared of her power and appearance. After all she is the only one that can go one on one at Rubedo.
"Don't worry she has another form and will surely protect me if anything happens"
"Yes..." She slight nod (That's not what I am scared about supreme one) She thought
"Now I will go to Lux if anything is good on his end and message Shub-niggurath to be ready for our travel"
"Yes Ainz-sama I will prepare the army with pixel and other commander-generals"
[1] He can control the NPC because after he order to release their aura, the emperor became weak-willed and Ainz can control him easily with [command primordial mantra]. He is "Primordial devil" that's why he can cast almost all demon spells too
