[High-level All-Attribute Resistance], [High-level Magic Shield], [Time Stop]...

All available cards are on the table, ready for a desperate gamble.

But just as he was about to make his move...

The black ball merely flickered silently for a moment.

Swish-!

All his preparations were forcibly cancelled.

The musty room before me crumbled like a bubble.

Ainz Ooal Gown snapped back to reality and found himself back in the familiar, magnificent setting of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, though he was still in a defensive stance.

He noticed the concerned looks from Albedo, Cocytus, and the others below the stairs.

Ainz, forcing himself to remain calm, tapped his scepter on the ground and asked:

"Demiurge, what... did I just do?"

Demiurge adjusted his reflective glasses, bowed slightly respectfully, and explained:

"Lord Ainz, when you used the Super Tier Magic 'Memory Manipulation' on this human, there were no problems at first."

"But after you murmured that sentence, your soul fire suddenly fluctuated, as if... you had been hit by some kind of mental interference magic."

Upon hearing this, Albedo's beautiful face instantly contorted.

Turning his head to stare at Yuecheng Changcheng lying on the ground, his dark wings trembled with anger:

"This lowly creature... dares to interfere with Lord Ainz! Please hand this human over to me, Lord Ainz! I will make him experience the most extreme, the most unbearable torture in Nazarick!"

"Stop, Albedo. He's just an insignificant nobody; you can have him."

Ainz Ooal Gown raised his cane and tapped it on the red carpet.

"But now, we have more important things to face."

"Just now, I wasn't mentally disturbed by him. Rather, it was the entity behind him... that forcibly invaded my mental world by following my memories."

"This...how is this possible!?" Albedo exclaimed, covering her mouth with her hands, her face full of disbelief. "Lord Ainz is the Supreme Being!"

Demiurge stroked his pointed chin, a wise glint in his eyes:

"To be able to break through Lord Ainz's mind so silently... was it done with the help of a World-Class Item, Lord Ainz?"

"It's not certain yet. But there's no doubt that..."

Ainz Ooal Gown shook his head noncommittally, his tone more solemn than ever before:

"In my investigation, they are a group of madmen who will stop at nothing to complete their mission. Because if they fail to complete the mission, they will die as well."

"To survive, one cannot live without fighting."

“This group of ‘players,’ or rather ‘prisoners’...is far more dangerous than any enemy we had ever imagined.”

Ainz stood up, looked at the Guardians below, and made his decision:

"Now, we probably need to prepare for the complete loss of Shalltear."

"Lord Ainz..." Albedo immediately knelt on one knee, her eyes burning with fervor, "Rest assured! Even without Shalltear, I will be your sharpest sword, slaying every enemy that dares to invade!"

Looking at these NPCs who were so loyal to him, Ainz Ooal Gown sighed inwardly.

"If I could, I wouldn't want to lose any of you."

"But to prevent a repeat of Shalltear's tragedy, and to guard against enemy ambushes, we must prioritize defensive preparations. Later, I will go to the treasure vault and distribute one world-class item to each of you for self-defense."

"Now......"

Ainz suddenly stopped.

The oppressive aura of the Undead King swept through the entire hall.

"Relay my orders!"

"Great Tomb of Nazarick, all floors are on Level 1 combat alert! Seal all entrances and exits!"

"No one may launch an attack without my permission!"

Demiurge realized the seriousness of the situation.

Following Albedo and the others, they bowed their heads deeply and said in unison:

"As you so wish, Your Majesty!"

Volume 1: Chapter 203 It's alright, a small loss isn't a loss

As Nan Yunya called out to Shiina Hiyori, she had already stepped aside and asked Su Wei to continue the experiment as before.

"100 S points..."

Karuizawa Kei murmured softly, "It seems... it's still within an acceptable range?"

Hayasaka Ai nodded and continued, "If it weren't limited to one person at a time, but opened all at once, these 100 S points would be incredibly valuable. It's like adding Su Wei and a few of our combat forces out of thin air to provide support."
