The five members of the Blue Rose had mixed feelings. At first, they were quite shocked and saddened, after all, Brian had now crossed paths with them, and he was undoubtedly a man who would rather die than submit, and was worthy of respect.
As a result of Brian's current erratic behavior, they were unable to continue their grief and instead felt a slight urge to laugh.
"I'm not sad at all... Really, you're a true powerhouse."
Captain Lajus shook her head with a wry smile. In that wry smile, a strange thought began to creep in without her realizing it.

694. Astounding Wisdom
"Did you see that? Did you see that? This time I'm ahead of you, Gerdov."
Brian swaggered into the palace training grounds, and no guards dared to stop him. He grinned, pointed at his own upright and unyielding corpse in the sky, and gave a proud snort.
They've come to brazenly flaunt their power against their arch-rival.
As for how he knew that Gerdov was at the training ground?
Ha, what a joke. If he didn't immediately intensify his training after encountering that kind of ghostly monster, then he wouldn't be Gazef, nor would he be a match for Brian.
Gerdov nodded heartily, readily admitting the truth, "Yes, I saw it, you did a great job, I'm not as good as you."
"You..." Brian pursed his lips, feeling as if he had punched cotton.
He coughed and mumbled, "Well... never mind, I haven't created that six-light burst of light yet anyway. Of course, I have a clue now. Inspired by the future, I can now unleash a five-light burst of light."
"You'd better hurry up and catch up, don't let me leave you behind, Gerdav."
This man, though not straightforward, was full of good intentions despite his awkwardness. Gerdov laughed heartily, "Good! Not only must I catch up, I must also surpass your Six-Light Combo, otherwise I will be unable to protect this country."
At this point, Brian's interest suddenly waned, his eyes sharpened, and he nodded in agreement.
"It's you, Cocytus?"
At the top of the Great Tomb, Demiurge questioned, and when they saw the frozen things, everyone already understood that it was the work of Cocytus.
“That was a true warrior. Lord Mikage Rai liked warriors like that, and I, who was created by Lord Mikage Rai, am also like that.” Cocytus did not deny it.
After answering Demiurge's question, he wanted to kneel down and apologize to Lord Ainz.
But before he could do that, Lord Ainz suddenly brightened up, burst into laughter, and patted it on the shoulder, "Hmm, very good, well done. That's all for now, Cocytus."
"You don't need to blame yourself for this; rather, you should feel proud!"
This was the first time Ainz Ooal Gown had been this happy since the future opened. Cocytus's unwavering loyalty and devotion to his guild members had, in a way, reminded him of Mikuri and the others.
Cocytus was puzzled, but when he saw the Supreme Lord Ainz laughing heartily, he knew what he should do. He stopped apologizing and simply stood his ground.
After exchanging glances privately, Albedo and the others, reminded by the remarkably wise Demiurge, suddenly realized why Lord Ainz was happy.
While feeling a pang of sadness and resentment towards the other vanished Supreme Beings, he also became increasingly loyal.
If the maximum value of loyalty is 100, and their loyalty was previously 120, it has now risen to 150, reaching an unbelievable and unimaginable level.
In the royal capital, Brian's madness dispelled the people's sorrow.
On Earth, however, this didn't happen, so most people were still mourning the heroic warrior, with only the first sword saint Red and the blue lightning shaking their heads.
"Even a breakthrough achieved at the brink of death can only go this far? He's not even as good as that tender fish, Julius." Red clicked his tongue.
Although Julius's strength under normal circumstances is probably about the same as that of Evilue, or even slightly inferior, this young fish's trump card is enough to contend with Red's swordsmanship when he is holding back for a while.
This level of skill is beyond the reach of a mere six flashes of light.
Red looked down on Brian's strength, while the blue lightning looked down on Brian's talent.
He had originally thought that since the other party was also a person devoted to the sword, he might be able to teach Brian after the world merged, teach him to be as strong as himself, and then help him reach his full potential and break through his limits in battle.
Thus, one can reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship.
But now it seems that even with the support of life and death and unwavering faith, he could only create a move like the Six-Light Flash. He felt that he probably couldn't have any hope for Brian's swordsmanship talent.
"Can he be resurrected?" At the same time, at Nakano's house, May muttered to herself.
"You can't do it, May." Ichika waved her hand. As an actress, and the one among the six who understood people best, she thought for a moment and carefully explained to Yotsuba and May's doubts:
"When most people see someone they care about die, their first thought is, why did they die? Who killed them? And then, even though they don't want to admit it, they will eventually admit it."
"Although I would definitely think, 'If only I weren't dead, if only I were still alive,' without knowing that I have the ability to make my wishes come true, that thought wouldn't be strong enough to make a wish."
The goofy May scratched her head, "But why did Ibiruai come?"
"That's because Ibiruai was the first close person he saw die, so the idea that they were dead was the strongest, and..."
Ichika paused, skipping over the second reason, which the other three sisters understood: Evilue was the most special person to Kousaka Kyosuke in every way, and the one who most wanted her to live.
But Brian was different; he didn't have such a special status.
It's not a difference between men and women. Not to mention Brian, if it were Lajus, Gagran, Tia Tina, or other members of the Blue Rose who died on the streets of the royal capital, they wouldn't be resurrected either.
May listened in confusion and mumbled an "uh-huh".
Since you can't understand it, just ignore it. I've been feeling nauseous for so long, and I'm finally starting to have a decent appetite. Let's eat a bun first!
"Wait..." Futaro was half annoyed and quickly pounced over to stop him.
Those places ruled by the high-ranking undead each have their own unique and disgusting tastes, and a place like the capital city must also be the territory ruled by the high-ranking undead.
Just thinking about it makes it clear that unimaginable horrors are about to unfold, and eating in May now will only bring her more suffering.
But it was too late.
As he pounced on May and knocked her down, the steamed bun was already stuffed into his mouth, and at the same time, the scene in the video was refreshed.
"After seeing Brian's ice sculpture corpse, Kyosuke Kousaka remained silent for a long time. Finally, Evilue, who was shorter, stood on tiptoe, raised his hand, and gently touched his head."
"This silent comfort allowed him to shake off the sorrow he had long anticipated after his sigh."
"But as the new scene came into view, Kyosuke Kosaka's eyes turned cold again, filled with a murderous intent that seemed to want to devour someone."
695. The Final Curtain Call of Death: Slaves and Dogs
"The inner circle of the capital was indeed destroyed beyond recognition, filled with broken walls and ruins, but the outer circle was relatively well preserved. At least the roads were unobstructed and not blocked by the remains of destroyed buildings."
"Ever since Lord Ainz secluded himself in the Great Tomb of Nazarick twenty years ago, Albedo has enjoyed walking her dog in the outer perimeter of the royal capital."
"Whenever she comes here, she can recall with great pride how, thirty years ago, under Lord Ainz's orders, she used all the power of the Guardians to unleash the power of the undead, and with the most direct violence, she truly proclaimed the power of the Great Tomb to the world for the first time."
"Even though Lord Ainz did not personally descend upon this place, in that proclamation, the entire royal capital was undeniably imprinted with the might of the Great Supreme, and the most foolish creatures all prostrated themselves at Lord Ainz's feet."
"Even after thirty years, just looking at these dilapidated ruins makes Albedo feel like she can see Ainz-sama in his prime again."
"Naturally, the cycle of sacred sites should also be accompanied by a grand ceremony, otherwise it would be a desecration of such supreme beings as her."
"Rejoice! You are fortunate to be chosen as sacrifices, to be able to worship the legacy of Lord Ainz with your lowly living bodies! You pigs, dare to cheer so brazenly? Only today will I generously grant you the right to speak!"
Albedo stretched out her hands high, her face filled with compassion, and chuckled. She truly thought herself very magnanimous.
"Under her guidance, the intelligent beings who had been raised like pigs and dogs for twenty years dared not remain silent any longer. They rushed to sing praises of the great achievements of the Supreme Lord Ainz."
"They hoped that by doing so, they might win the favor of Albedo, that devil, and arouse her pleasure, thus letting them go."
"Hmm, hmm, very good, very good. You are the most qualified batch of sacrifices." Albedo nodded in satisfaction.
"Twenty years ago, she forcefully broke into Sebastian territory, abducted a large number of creatures, and kept them like pigs and dogs, feeding them in a dirty manner."
"We release a batch every year, and this is the twentieth batch. After a long period of raising them, none of them are as foolish as they were twenty years ago when they dared to curse and refuse to cooperate during the festival."
"In high spirits, Albedo waved her hand, and the two undead maids serving her stepped forward, holding scimitars. One went to the male creatures, and the other went to the female creatures."
"The creatures, a mix of humans, elves, and other demi-human races, including dwarves and lizardmen, showed fear upon seeing the approaching sharp weapon, driven by their instinct for survival."
"But the closer the danger got, the less they dared to resist. Instead, they sang praises of Ainz Ooal Gown with even more fervor, shouting until the veins on their foreheads bulged and their voices were hoarse."
"However, this piety did not earn them any preferential treatment."
"With a swish, the scimitar sliced through, blood spurted out, and the men's most precious possessions were gone in an instant, severed cleanly, falling to the ground with a thud, filthy and mixed with blood."
"Ah..." Someone couldn't bear the pain and was distracted, unable to continue praising Ainz Ooal Gown. Immediately afterward, their head also fell to the ground, blood gushing out.
"Upon witnessing his fate, the remaining people trembled, and no matter how much pain they were in, they dared not stop their flattery."
"The women on this side were all carefully selected; they were beautiful and had great figures. As the scimitar fell, their fair faces were instantly disfigured, and the parts used to feed their children were ripped off their bodies and fell to the ground."
"Regardless of gender, no one dared to put up the slightest resistance under this indiscriminate and unreasonable abuse. They had seen far too many people who resisted, and those people all suffered a fate worse than death, a fate worse than death."
"Among the many creatures, the lizardmen are particularly strange. They are not afraid of pain, nor do they harbor any hidden hatred for Albedo and the two undead maids. On the contrary, they are extremely fanatical."
"It's not just a facade that others are forced to put on; it's a genuine feeling that as long as I can serve the people of the Sorcerer Kingdom and sing the praises of the great Supreme Lord Ainz, then I will die without regrets, it's an honor."
"Good! Good! As expected of the race that Lord Ainz first subdued and that Cocytus values, I have witnessed the unwavering loyalty of the entire race to Lord Ainz."
"Albedo praised that every year, there are always three to five, or even eleven or twelve, members of the lizardman race who actively participate in the festival, just to ride on the coattails of Lord Ainz's legacy."
"His loyalty is evident."
"The festival has never gone so smoothly," Albedo exclaimed with delight. She gave the order to have two undead maids lead the boars in a procession around the capital.
"Men and women alike were sweating profusely from the pain, but they all obediently followed, shouting things like, 'The Sorcerer King is invincible! The Sorcerer King is the strongest in the world!'"
"Oh...I almost forgot about you." Albedo was about to fly to the front of the group, but suddenly paused and looked to her side.
"Beside her, a girl with an absolutely charming and beautiful appearance stood there blankly, like a doll, obediently serving and waiting for orders from her master, Albedo."
"This girl has two elf ears and her hair has two colors, half white and half black, making her look like a panda."
"Her expression was dull and ashen, and she was devoid of any life. However, the vitality she exuded proved that she was a living race, half-human and half-elf, and not an undead."
"What a pity, how come it was ruined so early on? Sigh, I'd rather see your soul still alive, daring to rebel."
Albedo shook her head regretfully, her arm stroking the girl's face, her fingertips tracing her fair skin.
The next second, she suppressed the feigned emotions of these simulated creatures, her expression changing drastically as she coldly commanded, "Zetsu Shiki, the festival has begun. Don't you know what to do?"
"Click, click."
"The girl named Zesshi Zesshi received the order, stiffly raised her hand, and cleanly and efficiently disfigured herself completely in an instant, cutting off her own hands and feet, turning her into a human pig."
Albedo first nodded and smiled approvingly, then burst out laughing, and then laughed heartily, watching Zetsu Zetsumei as if she were watching the funniest play.
