How did you bunch of silly group members also time travel?

"Hunter! Seize the opportunity!" Suddenly, Xiao Ai leaped! Not to another tree, but to the giant bird's head!!

Taking advantage of the momentary lapse in attention caused by the giant bird's wariness of death, it decisively jumped onto the giant bird's head! It then began scratching the giant bird's face with its claws!

This is the opportunity Xiao Ai was talking about!

Shang Shi's eyes reddened, and he immediately sprang into action. Using a makeshift staircase, ravaged by the giant bird, he leaped high into the air at the top.

At this moment, the giant bird had already thrown Xiao Ai off and was shaking its head to readjust its balance!

"Little Ai—!!" The giant bird turned its head at the sound, and with a wave of its arm, Shang Shi's large eyes immediately swallowed a handful of sand!

Diamond shattered!

With the help of the falling force, he gripped the shallow blow tightly with both hands, piercing the giant bird's eyelids and eyeballs. With this, half of his body was embedded in the giant bird's eye socket before he finally reached the white, sticky substance, which soaked his entire body with a foul-smelling liquid.

The giant bird flung Shangshi away, and after trembling and struggling for a while, it collapsed with a thud.

Hunting the Great Jaggi, complete!

Chapter Sixty-Nine Traditional Arts

I am a Tyrannosaurus Rex, originally a human. I traveled to this world and lived peacefully for a year, but yesterday, an unimaginable disaster befell me. I will live on, for eternity!

Yes, that's right, it's me, Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Dear viewers, you must have missed me, the protagonist, since we haven't seen each other for so many chapters.

Currently, my Tyrannosaurus Rex system remains mysteriously unusable, still lurking within the villainous forces of the Great Tomb of Nazarick in this other world. I've come to Carne Village with my current master, Ainz Ooal Gown, for an on-site investigation.

Last night, I received news that something had happened in Carne Village, but since the Tyrannosaurus Rex was just a mount—and one that had been released into the Great Tomb of Nazarick after causing a disturbance in Ye Lantier due to its enormous size—it couldn't get any useful information. All it knew was that it was related to the adamantite-class adventurer who had stabbed it. So it came out with him.

After a series of tantrums, tantrums, and attempts to charm and plead, she finally managed to communicate with a dark elf who was a beast tamer. Demonstrating remarkable intelligence and ability, she successfully gained permission to accompany him on this trip.

Thus, the Tyrannosaurus Rex, after many days, was finally able to see the light of day again!

Born a dragon, yet living such a stifled life, I am truly sorry!

Absolutely! From this day forward, it will never again be subservient to anyone, but will become the supreme ruler of the universe! It will be so powerful that no one can command it to do anything!! Absolutely!!

"Hashirō, can you smell anything useful?" Ainz Ooal Gown, the master of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, asked his mount.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex nodded, then quickly lowered its head, sniffing around like a dog in the ruins of the devastated village of Kahn.

Please don't misunderstand, Tyrannosaurus Rex was able to participate in this field investigation by demonstrating its keen sense of smell and excellent reconnaissance skills, so it's perfectly reasonable for it to work hard, right?

'There was the smell of many corpses, the smell of four outsiders, one of whom was the adventurer, and the smell of a forest hamster. Only a few villagers survived in Carne Village; these villagers and the hamster left with the adventurer and the other outsider.'

After sniffing for a while, the Tyrannosaurus Rex looked at the dark elf Aura Bella Fiora while shouting. Aura Bella Fiora was the beast tamer in the Great Tomb of Nazarick and the only person who could understand what it was trying to say.

"Ainz-sama, Hashirama just said..." Upon hearing Tyrannosaurus Rex's report, Aura quickly translated it to Ainz Ooal Gown.

"So it really was that player..."

"I guessed right!" The Tyrannosaurus Rex smiled happily.

Its sense of smell and Kagura's Mind's Eye, when combined, were indeed invincible, but they never worked on the adventurer who stabbed it.

So, although we don't know what happened in Carne Village, it's obvious it's not a good thing. Therefore, sticking to that adventurer is the best course of action! If we can get the Great Tomb of Nazarick to target that adventurer, that would be a huge win!

No matter what, it's a win-win situation!

“That player is very clever.” After a moment of silence, Ainz Ooal Gown’s words left Aura and Tyrannosaurus Rex, who were standing next to him, completely dumbfounded.

"Ainz-sama, forgive my ignorance, but why would you praise that person?"

“Aura,” Ainz Ooal Gown said.

"The cause of the incident in Kahn Village has been investigated and found out. It was caused by a necromancer and a warrior who targeted the famous genius apothecary Enfilea Barreare in Ye Lantieri."

"And what is the reason, Aura?"

"Couldn't you just finish what you said?!" the Tyrannosaurus Rex thought to itself, not daring to show it because Aura was there. It could only obediently lie to the side, watching its current master discuss with its subordinate. "Ainz-sama, if the target was just a pharmacist, then Enfield's grandmother would be more suitable. But they killed Enfield's grandmother, so there's only one reason left..."

“Yes, they’ve got their eyes on Enfield’s innate ability to use any item.” Ainz Ooal Gown was startled when he saw this information in Enfield’s file last night while discussing things at the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

This innate ability is extremely dangerous. If it allows the use of any item without any restrictions, it means that the opponent can easily use certain exclusive weapons and world-class items. For a concrete example, YGGDRAL contains items that unconditionally delete the account of both the user and the target.

Thinking about it this way, this explains why the player approached Enfilea. Enfilea's innate abilities are dangerous and therefore highly valuable to recruit. There's also the added benefit of being a pharmacist.

"Apothecary..." A flash of inspiration struck him, and Ainz Ooal Gown seemed to have thought of something, but he was a little short and couldn't quite grasp it.

"Ainz-sama, what happened to the pharmacist?"

"No, it's nothing." Ainz Ooal Gown waved his hand. "Hashi Taro, can you find the corpse of a Nameplate Hunter or a Necromancer? I need the complete one."

When the Tyrannosaurus Rex heard that its name had been called, it quickly pointed with its short arms to the spot where Bone King was standing.

Aura translated in time: "Ainz-sama, Hashirama said that the most intact corpse of the two is that of the necromancer who was dismembered and buried underground, and the most intact piece is right under your feet."

"Tsk, dismemberment." Bone King couldn't help but click his tongue.

That player was indeed cautious, knowing to dismember the corpse in case of the use of some resurrection items.

"To achieve this level of skill, 'True Death' must have been used when killing the target..." In that case, to resurrect the target, at least level 8 resurrection magic or items would be required. Furthermore, considering the dismemberment of the corpse, level 8 resurrection magic might not be enough; level 9, or even premium items, would be necessary.

Moreover, the opponent was a player with exceptional stealth abilities; the necromancer might not have even seen the opponent once from beginning to end.

Furthermore, none of the NPCs in Nazarick possess the 9th-tier resurrection spell, and neither does Ainz Ooal Gown, who is skilled in this holy magic. Items are becoming increasingly scarce. The cost is so high, and the probability of obtaining crucial information is even lower. The value of the undead chanter itself to Nazarick is practically negligible.

After some deliberation, Ainz Ooal Gown abandoned his original idea.

"One less to use?" Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and Ainz Ooal Gown thought of something he hadn't considered before!

Medicine, yes, medicine!

Like all kinds of items, after coming to this world from YGGDRAL, the source of potions, which are easy to obtain in the game, has also been lost!

Although low-level potions are included in every premium gift pack, resulting in Ainz Ooal Gown having tens of thousands in stock, without a source and with no NPCs in Nazarick specifically crafting potions, they will eventually run out! Not to mention the high-level potions, which are even more fragile!

"I see, I see, Nazarick needs apothecaries!"

"Aura! Go back and inform Demiurge to send all the Guardians who are out on the move back! Emergency meeting!"

Chapter Seventy: The IQ-Reducing Chat Group

Newbie just there to fill a spot: Ahh ...

Newbie just there to fill a spot: So boring~

Paid newbie: Please do not use text to replace your voice, thank you.

Paid newbie: I'm not pretending anymore, I'm not acting anymore, I want to hear you moan!

Newbie here to fill in the blanks: What's so appealing about a man's moans?

Grocery store owner: You guys are getting more and more outrageous in the group. Is it because the group admin isn't keeping an eye on you anymore, so you've let your guard down?

Ever since the group admin snatched up the stuff uploaded by a newbie who was just there to make up the numbers yesterday, Aizen felt that this guy was getting more and more outrageous, to the point that even the newbies who were paying for the game simply gave up on trying to get help.

They used to timidly use the excuse of proving various problems through the Grim Reaper to communicate underground, but now that the item has been intercepted once, they might as well just put it out in the open.

"Young people really have no patience at all." Aizen himself was practically saying that outright in the group chat.

However, since the group owner considers Aizen to be Kisuke Urahara, it's normal for him to do such a thing. In addition, he is currently the only person who can provide various items and ways to become stronger. If the two newbies fail, he will at most receive a verbal warning and will not be kicked out.

After that, there will be plenty of opportunities to give the group owner a huge surprise.

"However, judging from the fact that the group owner hasn't been online for so long, it's probably not going to be that opportunity."

Newbie just there to fill a spot: Who cares?

Newbie just there to fill a spot: Anyway, I'm still in the group. The group owner has disappeared again. Well, although he's listed as alive, who knows what happened to him.

Newbie just there to fill a spot: Recalling to base, recalling to base.

For newbies who are willing to pay: a machete is recommended.

My favorite is Magical Mary: Since I joined the group, the group admin seems to have never said a word.

Grocery store owner: New guy, you're still using this name, did you think this through?

My absolute favorite is Magical Merry: [Give it a shout-out!]

The doctor didn't give a direct answer, but a simple emoji perfectly expressed his current feelings.

So what if he's a man? As long as it's not that good-for-nothing Merlin, even if it's a man's Merlin, he'll still go for it! 〒▽〒 (Please type your tears in the chat!)

Grocery store owner: ...I feel like you've got the priorities backwards.

My favorite is Magical Mary: The group owner must be an incredibly powerful and peerless expert to be able to connect various worlds and establish this chat group!

My favorite is Magical Merry: A multiverse-level powerhouse!

Paid newbie: Please don't change the subject.

Newbie here to fill the numbers: Here comes the standard thinking of the chat master echoing the crowd in chat-style novels!

Newbie just there to fill a spot: You, the doctor, will be taking over the position of number one idiot!

Paid newbie: A doctor's comment like this, in a mindless, reskinned wish-fulfillment novel, would just be one of the many echo chambers of a group admin.

Paid newbie: Standard. Since the group owner can create this group, they must be ridiculously strong. Don't believe a word they say about being weak. Firmly believe in your heart that the group owner is incomparably powerful.

The newbie who was just there to make up the numbers: then kept echoing others in the group, praising the group owner.

Newbie just there to fill a spot: Then, when the group admin came to your area to do some tasks, he also chatted up with a few girls there. From then on, he became the middleman between these girls and the group admin, a pure tool.

Paid newbie: Who knows, maybe the one who gets swept away will be your original wife.

My Favorite Magical Mary: Please don't do this, Mary-chan!

My Favorite Magical Mary: Look, this is a chat group that even that good-for-nothing Merlin can't see! Conceptually, it connects various different multiverses.

My favorite is Magical Mary: Isn't the group owner who was able to create this chat group amazing?

My favorite is Magical Mary: Furthermore, in the group announcement, the group admin wrote that if anyone wants to know about their future, they can go find him.

My Favorite Magical Mary: How strong must someone be to speak with such certainty?! Newbie (Just Filling the Blanks): Doctor, do you want to know about your future?

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: I actually know a little bit too~

Paid Newbie: Doctor, at the final singularity, you will leave Ritsuka a cake and thirty golden apples, then go alone to teach Goetia her final magic, and perish from the Throne of Heroes.

My favorite is Magical Mary: ...

The general store owner: Don't be surprised. In their original worlds, we seem to be characters from various anime and game works, so they know about our future and such.

Grocery store owner: Doesn't that sound pretty magical?

Grocery store owner: But that's indeed why the group admin claims to know our future.

Seeing that these two newbies had completely given up, Aizen simply brought it up in the open.

Even so, the group admin was clearly online, but acted like a dead person, completely ignoring the two newbies' overstepping remarks in the group.

It seems like I didn't chime in when the two newbies were discussing hatchets.

My favorite magical girl: So, I'm actually a character from an anime?

Newbie just there to fill a spot: Who knows?

Paid newbie: Doctor, have you heard of the infinite monkey theory?

My favorite is Magical Merry: I do know that.

My favorite is Magical Mary: If an infinite number of monkeys were to type on a keyboard, eventually one would emerge and, through countless coincidences, type out a complete and ordinary literary work.

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: That's more like it, anyway, you guys have pretty many parallel universes in Type-Moon.

Newbie just filling in the numbers: But your Type-Moon history is a bit strange. The histories of all parallel worlds must be roughly consistent. If a major event occurs in history, it will be edited out. If it's not successfully edited out, it will become a Lostbelt.

Paid newbie: It's like being sick, unlike Steins;Gate where there are infinite possibilities.

My favorite is Magical Mary: ...Is the story set up in such detail in the comics?

Newbie just filling in the numbers: Detailed as it may be, there are tons of instances where it contradicts the book.

Paid newbie: To be honest, I'm quite curious, in the real Type-Moon universe, how are those retconned or slightly contradictory settings represented?

Paid beginners: For example, vampires in Tsukihime and Fate.

Paid newbie: Even though they're works within the same universe, they feel like two different species, especially the True Ancestors, which are like two completely different species in the two works.

My favorite is Magical Mary: Well, I'm not really sure how to answer that, Mary-chan.
