"Santa or Atrocity."

The words descended slowly in the mortal world, not as mere words but as an immovable sentence, as limitless regret, as the word of God on earth. No, that was not the word of God, it was more, much more, those were the words of an entity capable of devouring more than one deity while alive, a being that had already consumed more than any mortal would ever have been capable to consume neither in this lifetime nor in a million lifetimes.

Those were the words of the embodiment of madness, gluttony and tenderness. An ultimatum that froze the air and ultimately made death itself aware of its own mortality.

However Aniz was not just death or any undead skeleton. Just like his archenemy he was something beyond all of that, the only entity in this world capable of negating this fate, the only evil great enough to stand up to this overwhelming power.

Ainz, last of the supremes and leader of Ainz Ooal Gown, the largest of the guilds, he would not dress as Santa Claus! NO ! And if he had to fight to keep his identity, so be it... On the other hand Suzuki Satoru the last thing he wanted was to fight someone like Maple specially in such unfavorable circumstances. Which returned him to deep silence as he watched Maple weighing the pros and cons of this unusual proposal.

That silence, that silence, deep, magnificent, impregnable and Machiavellian, like the morning dew but also like the cold arctic blizzard that ends people's souls with ridiculous ease.

That silence that fell over the room on the brink of the end of the world awaiting the rise of a monster like no other on earth.

It was that silence that was finally broken by Maple.

"Atrocity it will be then."

The world trembled at her voice, the sky screamed writhing in pain depriving the world of its beautiful light, the ground rumbled singing the requiem of a hundred thousand warriors and a hundred million more beat the final drum. The light, that warm, still afternoon light, shuddered and broke into pieces so small no one could ever mend them. The world was screaming: "TERROR" the world was howling: "DEATH". And Maple sentenced:

"[Atrocity]"

And then the world was silent again, a silence made mute by the cacophony that struck him with a force capable of summoning into this world something beyond mortal comprehension.

Profane and deep chants were raised by the metal shooting in all directions, those deep drums, those tense notes, all were devoured by the battle cry of that being, by its majestic roar and by its overwhelming presence.

This would be the end of the world as we know it.

Maple raised an ambitious and evil claw, one last warning, one last premonition before pandemonium was finally unleashed upon this land turning everything into nothing more than a soulless wasteland, only the wasteland would not be silent , no, no matter what happened the world would bawl without stopping, and its volcanoes would cry and its continents would fall apart, its oceans turned into tears of blood.

This is the end of the world.

"Claus! I'll be Claus so stop doing that for once!"

C14 Christmas in the grave part II

Ninth floor of Nazarick, Throne Room.

The atmosphere in the room was slightly tense; a few minutes ago Albedo received a [message] from Ainz telling her that he was returning to the grave together with Maple.

Here they were, it was finally time for the great enemy of the supreme to prostrate herself before the imposing tomb of Nazarick and the floor guardians did not skimp on making the room look impressive.
All the Npc from the smallest to the most insignificant. (Excluding Gargantua and Victim ) They impatiently awaited the return of their master to the grave and yet their presence would also serve to try to intimidate Maple; The floor guardians knew of Devour's 10 daily uses and hoped that if she turned violent in the tomb they could force her to use them before committing to a real attack.

However, the Guardians could only imagine the true limits of someone like Maple capable of rivaling the Supreme Beings, and ultimately hoped to follow the Supreme's plan to discover her weakness.

That's why they waited, all kneeling waiting for the supreme who stayed.

Then, at some point in that tension a [Gate] opened in the throne room, this would usually be impossible but the protection against teleportation was lifted just for this occasion because unless Ainz was willing to give Maple a guild ring she he would have to walk into the Tomb, but Ainz had decided that he wanted to show as little of the tomb as possible to the enemy, or at least that's what Demiurge thought.

Finally they both made their way out the door, they were enlightened as they saw their lord, but then confusion and anger overwhelm them after a few seconds. Ainz emerged from the [Gate] in a majestic red robe edged with wool, wearing a hat as red as blood on his head with an elongated point, his skeletal face graced by a prominent white beard that hung with experience and pride. And yet, riding on his shoulders was filth ridiculous Maple.

Albedos twisted her face in pure anger, Demirgue started to take on a monstrous form almost unable to control its madness, Shaltear broke her umbrella into two halves, a deep cold air started to spread from Cocyutos , Aura swung her fist whit rages and Mare felt like a poisonous sensation was rising from the bottom of his chest.

That ungraceful human was wearing nothing more than an outdated third-class suit with a reindeer pattern, that horned headband was absurd and totally deplorable , that red nose, oh that red nose! It hurt more to look at than a giant pimple! Stupid irreverent red nose! Was she making fun of Nazarick?! SHE HAD NOT EVEN TAKEN THE PRECAUTION OF EQUIPPING HER SHIELD NOR ARMOR!

Albedo was about to jump for the jugular. "That damn bitch! How dare you ride on the shoulders of my beloved Ainz-sama? Only I can ride Ainz-sama!" She whispered with a murderous intent that made the blood freeze. "I'll kill her; I swear I'll KILL her."

Albedo intended to take advantage of this moment of weakness to kill her enemy when Demiurge's [message] stopped her.

[" It's not time yet, Ainz-sama has managed to make the enemy lower her guard up to this point, however I'm sure that if he hasn't given the order to attack yet, it's because he's still not sure of victory"]

Although his message was quite rational, his voice trembled with anger and its demonic transformation was still ongoing.

["But this!...This disrespect! We can't just stand by and do nothing!"]

["Albedo appease your anger, the time will come, or do you mistrust Ainz-sama?"]

That insinuation made Albedo turn red with rage, she seemed to be about to explode.

[" There is no one more loyal to Ainz-sama than me! Don't ask me not to have my life for my lord! You hypocritical bastard, you too are trembling with anger!"]

["I am! And whoever dares to ride Ainz-sama as mere mount deserves a fate worse than death! But we must endure this martyrdom for Ainz-sama's sake! Just a little longer! A little more and we will have the Knight of utter destruction on our hands!"] That last part of the message seemed to be more aimed at calming his own fury than appeasing Albedo, Demiurge himself was having trouble appeasing his own anger however even if they attacked now they wouldn't manage to kill Maple without first harming their lord. "Just a little more..." Repeated Demiurge to himself.

For their part, the newcomers were oblivious to the thoughts of the floor guardians, Ainz was embarrassed, his passive ability activated non - stop and every time his emotions went out, they constantly reemerged, sending him into an abyss of shame.

More than his racial ability, it was the shameless Maple who allowed him to stand proud in that place, among that spiral of shame Ainz noticed Maple sigh in amazement before the great tomb of Nazarick and heard her comment happily on how this was undoubtedly the final boss room. A warm feeling of pride made him walk the red carpet imposingly despite his ridiculous outfit.

" She's really having fun, isn't she?" A warm feeling that Aniz hadn't felt in a long time filled him for a few seconds before being erased by his undead trait.

Ainz made his way to the throne and sat down, embarrassment having been replaced by pure pride at this moment, a glimmer of hope resting on his shoulders perhaps in the most literal way possible. A reminder of his past and something that told him he wasn't alone in this world.

Maple for her part instead of getting off Ainz's shoulders, she imitated him by taking a confident and proud position on her seat, however the childish smile that rose on her face was really refreshing, Ainz was sure that if it wasn't because he was a skeleton he would also have the same stupid smile on his face.

This is how he projected his voice across the room:

"Inhabitants of Nazarick! From now on, Maple Tree and Ainz Ooal Gown are allied guilds. Maple is no longer our enemy but my partner."

A strange applause went up in the air.

"And for the same reason, I declared today... CHRISTMAS !"

(There are two versions of the author's notes below, sorry!)

Human, listen carefully to my words, the delay of this Fanfic is ultimately justified by the production of another by the same author, however what is unforgivable is said inferior being extending said delay by mere distractions such as other Fanfics, a slave of his ilk has no right to fail in his duty. And yet it was only the departure of the second season of the anime of that danger with legs that motivated him to continue; simply disappointing.

Now open your eyes wide human, hold your tears and breath. I know very well that you expected to see the end of the world caused by the fight between Ainz-sama and that human, however, and even if you have not satisfied your filthy and morbid pleasure, this world will live to be conquered by Ainz-sama.

First of all let us quickly return to the beginning of the chapter, an exemplary manner of writing if I may say, extensive use by the author of all the stylistic figures his little brain could put together. However, mere falsehoods and exaggerated claims were released during said recitation. If there was someone capable of splitting continents it would be Ainz-sama, the ilk is incapable of splitting continents.

Regarding the narrator of this story, putting this into words is a waste of time, anyone foolish enough not to realize how it works is not worth my words.

More important than the above is the invention of Christmas, what a majestic festivity that our supreme has brought us ... Ah, I forgot, I have heard false rumors saying that Christmas actually ended a while ago... It seems that there was a confusion. If Ainz-sama says that Christmas starts today, then Christmas will end when Ainz-sama says so.

Atte.

'For Ainz Ooal Gown!'

Demiurge .

P.S. Not nasty human, Unfortunately Demirgue can't manipulate Fanfic.

Author's note.

Again small apology for the delay, the other fucking fanfic consumes me! (Besides I got distracted by other things)

But hey, the release of the second season of Bofuri gives me streeeeeeeength !

Ahem ahem the bad thing is that now the fanfic Maple is less canonical than ever before.

Anyway, we were a span away from seeing Maple vs Ainz, I hope you like the first part of the chapter I used all my knowledge about style figures to make the situation as epic (and ironic) as possible, oh, in case I'm not clear that was an exaggeration, it is impossible for Maple to break the continents... Is it? On a second note about the way of narrating, it may not be very clear in certain parts but the narrator in certain parts narrates things from the perspectives of certain characters without going into a POV, it's a style choice and may be not so clear by the way I'm expressing so sorry.

Outside of that, we continue with the Christmas special!

Atte.

"I think I'll do this (double author's note) again for the next chapter XD"
