Ainz and Albedo stood in front of the gate.
Grand Marshal Helen, Ana, and everyone present bowed their heads.
"Helen, have our soldiers been sent to the other side of the gate?"
"Yes, Ainz Sama. Our soldiers have reached the other side. We have spread our scouts around. We are building our base on the other side. We will soon take over that world in your name."
"Hmm, very good."
"... Ana. You did a great job too. What do you want?"
"I'm glad I'm of some use to you, Lord Ainz. That's a lot for me."
"Hmm. But if you ever need any help you can let me know."
"I understand"
"Greater Create item!"
Ainz's royal clothes disappeared. And Ainz's body was covered with another clothes.
Ainz then wears a mask.
"Ainz-Sama, what do you want to do?"
"Don't worry, Albedo. I have some free time. So I want to go and wander around the other side of the gate."
"But it can be dangerous!"
"Albedo, Ainz Oaol Gown never knows to lose. So don't worry so much. I'll be back in a few hours. Also, your work hours are over. We also captured some people from that world to gather information. So you can stop calling me Ainz-sama now."
"I understand, Darling. I'll be waiting for you."
Albedo said with a smile.
"Okay. I'll be back soon"
...
AOT World
"What are you doing here?" Levi said
"I was traveling"
"Shut up! Don't try to fool us! How do you survive outside the walls? It's almost impossible to survive outside the walls for so long. Also, you don't have any ODM gear. Who are you?"
Levi pointed his sword at Ainzo
"Ah, Captain. Calm down, he's not our enemy. He saved my life," Petra said
"You shut up. What do you think he was doing here? Tell me what you were doing outside the wall? Who are you? Where did you come from?"
Ah, He is doubting me. What should I do? Should I kill them? ... No they are still kids. Also, it would make me look like a bad person. I should delete their memories. Hmm, that would be the right thing to do. Also, it's time for me to go back.
"Forgive me for not giving my true identity."
Ainz took off his mask. Revealing his undead face.
Everyone got scared seeing this
"I am the Sorcerous Emperor Ainz Oaol Gown. The Ruler of Death! The Master of the Great Tomb of Nazarick!"
"You...
"Time stop!"
Time stops.
Ainz approached Petra. He heals her wounds. Then he changes everyone's memories

.
They reached the top of a second hill, eyeing the beautiful rising sun; a whole new world ahead of them, green and mostly unknown, but as the only visitor they had once described, it wasn't all that different from their own. Trees in the distance cast shadows in the early morning light in criss-crossed patterns as a soft breeze swayed them left to right.
Another world...
They advanced past a few more hills before...
Problem.
They were rising from a slumber to meet them.
Dozens of them.
Tall, deformed, seemingly malnourished, smiling, and even within a tank there was some dread at the sight.
"Contact! Eight hundred meters!"
"Got a few over on our left, six hundred meters out."
As the LAVs and IFVs exited and began to position themselves along the tanks for support, the AGVS and MRAPs stopped to establish a small perimeter.
AGVS
Their enemy was right there, trying to intimidate them by standing taller than most of their houses.
Here's where it begins...
"All units stand by to engage..." the massage item crackled.
"Andro, you remember what to-?" A soldier name Mark began to ask. He is a Foxman
"Yeah, I... I know..." he said, somewhat nervously, making sure his mounted weapon was ready to provide fire support to the armor.
The sun finally illuminated the new battlefield.
The humanoid beasts saw their smaller challengers and widened their smiles, drool pouring from them as they readied to devour as much as the now-risen sun would allow them to. The booming noise their steps made as they advanced was a reminder that they would never stop until they had found release from their nightmare.
The tank' turrets swiveled and marked their targets, which were all standing at full height now, but the 62-ton Tanks awaited them. The size of the target was irrelevant to them; they wouldn't stop until their enemy had been neutralized.
...
It was one of the crawling ones that moved on all fours like an insect, coming out of the forest at top speed. The creature jumped in the air and went to bite through the tank's armor, attempting to take the commander as a quick meal; instead, it found that it couldn't bite down on the top of the tank like other things.
Other tanks further to the left opened up with their coaxial machine guns, but the abnormal actually pushed itself on top of the tank so that it was harder for the vehicles to get the necessary hit. Fire from the left and right couldn't hit the vital spot, and firing a 120mm round would pose too much of a needless risk.
A barrage of bullets and grenades flew directly into the beast.
"Up, five degrees…" Mark somewhat nervously instructed as Andro fired short bursts of the machine guns. He was being careful to hit the giant and not the tank crew or the nearby allies,
"Right on target," Andro added calmly as the titan seemed to spasm and suddenly collapsed from the tank, dead.
The tank powered up and reversed on the gigantic corpse, crushing a part of its body easily, leaving only a decapitated head; its face contorted as if it were in a state of permanent agony as it slowly evaporated into nothing.
" Geez. These naked retards can't do much of anything against our weapons." a troop said, somewhat irritated.
"But if we had faced them twenty or ten years ago, we would not have been able to do this so easily."
"That's right "
Andro shook his head, staring at the now mostly pulverized corpse of the only titan that had even made it to the main line of defense. Despite how easily most of these were being dispatched, he genuinely couldn't imagine how any society would fight against an enemy like this without advanced or magical weapons.
Maybe digging a deep enough trench with spikes or other obstacles could slow down some of them long enough to build some actual fortifications that could theoretically drive them off after a while, but the cost of human lives and time would be unsustainable, and the titans didn't seem to understand the concept of self-preservation.
The message item crackled to life.
"Uh, hey anybody else see that over the hill?"
Mark raised an eyebrow and walked over to the side of the vehicle to pick up the item.
"Negative, H 1, you see something?"
"I ain't seeing much of anything from here." another voice chimed in before H1 responded.
"Maybe, about eight or nine hundred meters from our position, uh, due north-east… anybody got better eyes on those hills?"
"This is Hunter 2-3; we don't see anything from here, over." One of the tankers replied.
"I got nothing from here either," Andro told Mark after looking through his binoculars. The small ranged drones they had might pick up something, but those were busy monitoring the southern flank.
"H 1, a drone is circulating the area, possible contact, but whatever it was seems to have retreated." Another voice chimed in on the item.
…
…
Andro sat down on the ground, relaxing by the wheels of the now silent Humvee, the tanks and heavy guns had gone quiet for the day. He eyed several undeads and Golems working the ground so that it was at least flat enough to become a motor pool. Not too far from that, other construction equipment was busy at work in flattening the area that was mostly filled with hills. Unless he was mistaken, that would be the landing grounds for the air support that would be coming through later in the night or the next morning. He turned and glanced at the now-setting sun. The field was covered in the orange light, casting shadows all over the place, something that reminded him of his time back home.
Feeling a bit nostalgic, he was oblivious to the approaching boots.
"Hey, lazy-ass! Working hard?" Mark called, dropping to sit down with his friend.
"Told you to stay alert." the younger of the two replied.
"Man, shut it…"
"You know, if not for the giant naked humanoids, this world wouldn't be half bad.…"
"Yeah, man. But In the Name of Emperor, we must occupy this world!"
"I know…That's why we are here"
"Got the ammo! And some extra goodies." a troop said, running to the Humvee as he blew a pinkish bubble. He offered his teammates the small pack. He is Dave. A Foxman
"Gum?" Mark asked.
"Dude, Five Gum?! Where'd you-?"
"Mint… you have something else," Andro mumbled as he took the packet.
"Uh… "
Andro rolled his eyes.
Mark didn't say anything.
Being met with awkward silence, Dave started the conversation.
"Besides, Andro needs the fresh mouth for the Captain Eli."
"I've only talked with her twice, don't see how-"
"Andro, I should've known you'd try to get your hands on the forbidden fruit. How shameful."
"I think I've said a grand total of thirty-five words to her since we met." the young man replied with little care.
"That the amount of time you're gonna last with-? Uh… What in that green is...?"
The sun had finally set in its entirety, but off in the distance, a low glow could be seen that couldn't belong to the lingering sunrays.
"Uh, all stations, anybody got eyes on the freaky lights over by the horizon, uh north-east, near the forest?" Dave called into the radio item.
"Affirmative, we see them too."
"Are the COs aware of- are those torches?" Andro mumbled.
"Hell of a lot of them."

Great Tomb of Nazarick
Ainz has reached Nazarik. He is going to his room. The NPCs patrolling here bowed to him.
Ainz came to the front of his room and opened the door.
"Welcome back, Ainz-sama!"
"Huh! Albedo!"
Albedo is dressed in night clothes.
"Albedo, have you been waiting for me for so long?"
"Of course, Ainz Sama. Is it not the duty of a wife to wait for her husband? I have been waiting for you for a long time. But now I can not wait anymore"
"Hmm!"
"Ainz-sama!"
Albedo jumped on Ainz
