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

She couldn't guarantee that Ainz Ooal Gown wasn't holding some strange gadget, something that might be recorded the moment she responded. Most importantly, she didn't believe Ainz Ooal Gown would compromise on such matters. He had absolutely no credibility in this area; he was probably communicating with her amidst the constant flashing of green light.

Moreover, Demiurge had already communicated with Ainz Ooal Gown before even calling out his name. He only spoke up now that he was truly threatened. It's easy to guess what Ainz Ooal Gown was thinking.

But Demiurge didn't care about all that. Upon finding the fox and not responding to the Supreme Being's question, he immediately flew into a rage: "How dare you! Ainz-sama..." "Demiurge!" But Ainz stopped him.

"Don't be wary of me, unknown powerful figure." Seeing that Demiurge had quieted down, Ainz Ooal Gown continued, "I also came to trade with you in good faith... How about you cancel the matter of us intercepting the supplies and let my subordinates go?"

The deaths of Spider Girl and that assassin boy weren't mentioned at all... Miss Fox doesn't believe Ainz Ooal Gown doesn't know!

So a refusal is definitely the answer!

Miss Fox suddenly looked up, her gaze passing over Demiurge and looking behind him. "Neigh!" Then she gently patted Pegasus, who immediately understood and moved aside to stand in a straight line with Demiurge.

Demiurge was startled, and so was Ainz Ooal Gown, who was behind the communication magic, guessing what was going on: "Let Demiurge leave, you..."

"Broken Path No. 31, Red Fire Cannon."

The Law of Belated Victory!

Chapter 121 Disappearing from the List

Boom!!! —

"Damn it!! I..." Bone Pride's furious and vicious words were cut short before he could finish them.

The devastating explosion of the Red Cannon added another huge crater to the already ravaged scorched earth. The blast radius even affected Miss Fox, who had run away beforehand, and Pegasus was directly blown away by the aftershocks. She barely survived only because she triggered a fatal injury immunity while mounted.

Splash! Water droplets suddenly fell from the sky—it was a fountain. The explosion of the Crimson Fire Cannon shattered the already shallow strata after the Twin Lotus Azure Fire Crash, reaching the underground river and spraying out from the center of the crater. The surrounding smoke was dispersed by the aftershocks of the explosion, and the bright moonlight shone in, illuminating the leaping fountain. Each droplet of water reflected a diamond-like brilliance as it fell onto the scorched earth, turning into wisps of mist.

This brought a relatively beautiful curtain to this brutal battle.

"This should be considered a milestone, right?" Miss Fox said, wiping the cold sweat from her forehead.

From the moment I traveled through time to the present, I achieved a great victory, successfully defeating the max-level NPC at the Great Tomb of Nazarick—a Guardian-level NPC at that. Although it was only by chance. I almost perished together with Demiurge.

"It's a good thing that Aizen didn't use a chanting method to make the Red Fire Cannon. If it had been chanted..." Miss Fox shook her head, and considering the Twin Lotus Azure Fire Pendant, she really didn't dare to think about it anymore.

As she is in a mounted state, all damage will be absorbed by Pegasus. Furthermore, Pegasus can grant her immunity to excess damage if he becomes overwhelmed, so she should be fine. However, the masked loli who tears up the talisman and uses the Crimson Cannon is certain to die.

"Are you still alive?" Miss Fox ran to the masked little girl, whose mask had been ripped off again, grabbed her, and shook her. There was no response. She then checked for breath with a finger, but there was no exhalation either; the little girl wasn't breathing at all!

No way! ?

In a flurry of activity, the fox stripped the masked loli naked and examined her body thoroughly. She found few injuries, and no visible wounds on her most prominent areas. But the masked loli wasn't breathing.

"The fall was too hard?" That certainly seems to be the case...

First, she was instantly defeated by Demiurge, and slammed to the ground. Then, the aftershock of her head-on clash with Demiurge sent her flying again, slamming her to the ground once more. Finally, in the last attack, she picked up the talisman that the fox had dropped, tore it up, and launched a sneak attack, this time slamming her to the ground the hardest.

So what should she do now? How can she give Lajus an explanation? Would it be better if she could leave with her body intact?

...

The Great Tomb of Nazarick.

"Damn it!!" "Bastard!!" "Ah!!!"

Ainz Ooal Gown, his body glowing green, was throwing things around in the hall. He wanted to vent his anger further, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. This was the guild he and his companions had built, not a place for him to vent his frustrations.

"Damn it!!" "That bastard!!" "Beast!!" "You bastard!!!" This only fueled his anger; even the Undead's passive ability couldn't help him. Breaking through the limits of forced calm, his emotions took over with every refresh of his status panel, the green light simply couldn't keep up. If it weren't for the fact that the excess light from the skill's activation was actually invisible to others, Ainz Ooal Gown in his current state would already appear as a constantly glowing green figure to everyone else.

"Ainz-sama..." The Guardians who had returned to Nazarick all looked troubled, watching Ainz Ooal Gown with concern as he couldn't calm down.

Demiurge was killed right before their eyes, a direct declaration of war against their supreme ruler. They were all incredibly angry, but even more worried about Ainz Ooal Gown's condition.

"If...if Mare had stayed behind..." The timid dark elf Mare, clutching her staff, couldn't hold back her tears, "If she had been with Demiurge...she wouldn't have died..."

"..." Ainz Ooal Gown fell silent, barely managing to regain a shred of his sanity.

As one of the guardians chosen by Demiurge to accompany Ainz Ooal Gown on his mission to seize control of the underground forces of the Kingdom of Rei-Estize, Mare was actually nearby at the time. He was even within the blast radius of the Twin Lotus Azure Flame Fall. His injuries were neither minor nor severe, but Demiurge sent him back first.

Not only that, many guardians also paid no attention to the violent explosions in that area, merely wondering how it happened. They were completely unaware that the commotion wasn't caused by their own people, but by the enemy. They all proceeded with their planned looting and returned. "Me too, if only I had gone to check..." "I didn't expect to run into them on my way back..." "If only I..." The members who had participated in the Demiurge plan stood up one after another, pleading guilty. They stood in a row, clamoring with regret for not paying attention.

"Ainz-sama, I should have stopped him when Demiurge reported it. Such a plan should have been reviewed by Ainz-sama first." Even Albedo took the blame, leaning against Ainz-sama with guilt, hoping Ainz-sama would punish her.

"I can't even see any flaws in Demiurge's plan, please punish him, Ainz-sama..." Even such a charge was mentioned...

"...This was my oversight, it has nothing to do with you." Ainz Ooal Gown's green light finally stopped, and he regained his senses. Looking at the apologetic NPCs at the Great Tomb of Nazarick, he felt a warmth in his heart. At the same time, a deep weariness rose within him. "I'm really not cut out to be a leader," he thought. "Just one moment of carelessness and I caused the NPCs my guildmates had painstakingly created to die." He sank into a quagmire of self-blame.

"I really... am not suited to lead you all..." This was followed by Shalltear's betrayal and Demiurge's death...

"No! Ainz-sama!" Albedo hugged him tightly, afraid that Ainz-sama would leave her beloved skeleton. "Ainz-sama is the last Supreme Being left in Nazarick. He is the person we cherish most. No matter who it is, there is no one more suitable to lead us than Ainz-sama!"

“Yes, Ainz-sama!” “...He was the last Supreme Being…” “We…” “…”

"You...do you really think so..." Ainz Ooal Gown sighed deeply. The NPCs didn't know, but it knew its own situation; its seemingly perfect leadership was merely a facade. In reality, if it weren't for the passive, forced calmness inherent in the undead race, it might have run into trouble from the very beginning.

"Someone like me..."

"Ainz-sama!" Albedo hugged him even tighter! This time the NPCs didn't say anything, but that was enough for Ainz Ooal Gown; he had already felt it.

Gain the trust of the NPCs at the Great Tomb.

"...Others have already declared war on Ainz Ooal Gown!" Ainz Ooal Gown hardened his resolve, taking out the guild weapon, the scepter of Ainz Ooal Gown, a symbol of friendship between himself and his guildmates from his inventory. "Are you willing to stake Ainz Ooal Gown's name on me, to let me atone for my sins, to let me make amends for my mistakes!"

"We'll risk our lives!!" ×N

No, no more... I won't let you die again... before I die! Ainz Ooal Gown silently added in his heart. But he felt the softness on his arm grow even stronger, and looking down, he found Albedo watching him anxiously, as if she had sensed his thoughts.

She couldn't help but avoid Albedo's gaze.

"...Albedo, fetch Yggdrasil's gold!" Ainz Ooal Gown commanded, simultaneously opening the guild's settings interface. "Resurrect Entoma, Demiurge, and then...what!?" Upon seeing the interface before him, Ainz Ooal Gown exclaimed in disbelief. Even with forced composure, it could no longer conceal its panic.

"What's wrong! Ainz-sama!?"

"How could this be!?" Demiurge has vanished! He has completely disappeared from the guild NPC list!

It wasn't a blank line, nor was it marked as dead. It simply vanished! Completely disappeared from the list, and Demiurge was removed from the total number of NPCs—a permanent loss!

Just like the player whose tumor was hit by the Dream Gun of the Slaughter Saint, all of my data was completely wiped out from the scattered 'Game Bar'!

"A world-class item! Yes! That one... that item might be useful!"

Ainz Ooal Gown's gaze passed over the floor to the deepest level, the location of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, where all its treasures were stored!

...

Above the sky of another world, an invisible eye suddenly opened, focusing on Ainz Ooal Gown in the Great Tomb of Nazarick and the fox far away in the royal capital.

It then flashed, as if it had made a decision.

Chapter 122 Noelle's Head

It seems like there's absolutely no chance.

Miss Fox was very distressed to see Evilua not breathing.

After confirming that Ibirua wasn't breathing, she tried everything she knew in first aid. She performed chest compressions, mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, cast spells, and administered healing potions. But Ibirua's breathing did not resume.

'Master, it seems your companion is completely dead.' The mortal bone, which had already canceled its Shikai and reverted to its slender katana shape, floated beside the fox lady and said.

No heartbeat, extremely low body temperature, no breathing. It truly seemed hopeless.

"...This world should have a resurrection ball, right? A magical wife, right?" She really didn't remember that.

Participating in the story multiple times has made my memory clearer, but I still can't recall many details. At most, I remember that Ainz Ooal Gown's side had a lot of resurrection items, but Miss Fox can't recall any details about whether other characters in the story have resurrection magic or possess resurrection items.

I couldn't help but sigh. I never imagined that Lin would wear such a strange garment in her lifetime, like a fox fur skirt. Naturally, I wouldn't bother to carefully review the specific plot or settings.

Anyway, let's check the group first and see if the all-powerful Aizen has any ideas.

Noelle: Someone, please save me! I'm dying...

Newbie just there to fill a spot: ? ? ?

As soon as I arrived, I saw someone calling for help.

Newbie just there to fill a spot: What happened?

Noelle: Huh? You newbie who's just there to fill a spot, you've come back from the dead? Did you become a ghost?

Noelle: Don't look for me! I'm afraid of ghosts! Besides, I absolutely never offended you while you were alive! (Paying homage)

Newbie just there to fill a spot: I'm not dead yet...

Grocery store owner: Just filling in the numbers, you've finally logged on.

Grocery store owner: Why aren't you sleeping so late at night? What kind of trouble have you gotten yourself into this time?

Grocery store owner: Are you alright?

Newbie who was just there to make up the numbers: It's okay.

Newbie (just there to fill a spot): I didn't expect to encounter such strong enemies! I only intercepted three waves of their supplies, and they're already trying to kill me out of spite!

Newbie just there to fill a spot: They themselves got their position through shady dealings.

Noelle: ...It seems like being a newbie who's just there to fill a spot is quite an exciting life.

Newbie here to fill in the numbers: What's wrong with this Noelle?

Paid newbie: Take a look at the group files.

Group files?

Miss Fox tilted her head in confusion, sensing that things were not so simple.

Feeling a bit tired, I plopped down. Surprisingly, the scorched earth was quite soft, though a little uneven. My stomach was also a bit empty, so I took out a few peaches and started eating.

Only then did he leisurely open the group files:

Noelle's Head x1

"Pfft!" Please forgive Miss Fox for not having received professional training; she usually laughs...

"Pfft, hahaha! What is this?! Hahaha! How could anyone be stupid enough to upload their own head to a group file?! Hahahaha... Cough! Cough cough cough cough!!!"

*Smack!* Fan Gu slapped the peach hard, causing Miss Fox to vomit up the peach flesh that had choked her.

'Foolish master, don't laugh while eating!'

"Ahem! Don't worry about the details!" Miss Fox waved her hand.

Newbie who's just filling in the numbers: What's going on with this hilarious situation?

Newbie here just to fill in the numbers: How come Noelle's head is in the group files?!

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: This is hilarious! (Laughs wildly)

Noelle: ...Don't ask.

Noelle: The answer is simple: come save me! QwQ

Paid newbie: I was surprised that she uploaded it herself.

Ruo Xue looked at the messy mansion on the surveillance screen, and the Inox Elf parts scattered on the alleyway, and her lips still couldn't help but curl upwards. Not to mention Aige laughing hysterically behind her, and her master who was also trying not to laugh. Paid Newbie: Actually, to be honest, it's not a funny reason, and it's a bit old-fashioned.

Paid newbie: It's cliché as it is... but it's a bit hard to resist.

Noelle: Please don't say that... Have some shame!

Newbie just there to fill a spot: Keep going!

Newbie here just filling in: I'm starving and eating fruit to stave off hunger, and I'm just missing one story!

Paid newbie: Good

Actually, the blame should fall on Ruoxue, since she did play with Noelle too much before nightfall, causing Noelle's processor to overload and crash.

Then, when the horror movie was being filmed as planned, during Noelle's scene, Noelle's mind was filled with a group of files, and that's when everything began.

Initially, when the group of university students discovered the scattered Noelle, everything was proceeding according to the script. Misled by fragmented information, the students began assembling Noelle, and then, the moment Noelle was completed, Ruo Xue remotely controlled the still-conscious Noelle to open her eyes, causing panic. Several unnecessary characters were eliminated.

What followed was a chaotic scene where the pre-selected male and female leads 'rescued' Shirou and Rin, who had been pre-arranged. With the help of the two elementary school students, the protagonists gained the power to fight back against Noelle. The tense and thrilling horror movie-like plot then began, as they evaded Noelle's pursuit while frantically searching for clues to unravel the mansion's secrets.

Until Noelle regained consciousness.

As Ruo Xue controlled Noelle, chasing the main group through the corridor past the pond, Noelle unfortunately suddenly regained consciousness, took control of her body, and immediately saw her own reflection on the water's surface. To enhance the atmosphere of being a demon, Ruo Xue deliberately wore terrifying makeup to match the reflection of her wearing clothes that hinted at magic under Aika's spell.

Then Noelle was terrified by her own actions. Her chaotic actions disintegrated her again, and Shirou seized the opportunity to kick her head into the pond in the backyard. Her makeup was ruined, making her even more horrifying. Noelle panicked even more, and somehow managed to upload her head to the chat group.

Ruo Xue was completely stunned by the whole process, while Ai Ge was laughing hysterically.

Paid newbies: The above are the specific reasons.

Newbie just there to fill a spot: hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (laughing so hard)
