The Bizarre Adventure of Pirates

Hard to bear.

"This is simply cheating. No wonder the protagonists in those light novels all have amazing cheats. It looks like this guy is no exception." Ainz had a headache.

Taking a deep breath, he decided to temporarily suppress his worries in his heart, stood up and said goodbye: "Little brother, I suddenly remembered that I have some things to do. I'm sorry to leave you today."

Changing the subject, "By the way, I left enough money at the front desk for you to eat for three days and three nights. Don't hesitate, enjoy yourself."

The shells can’t penetrate it?

Then use sugar-coated bullets!

Before finding a solution to the problem, Ainz decided to appease the person on the other side first.

As for what to do...

After returning to the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick and discussing with his think tank, there will naturally be a result.

Chapter 371: Meeting of the Guardians of the Great Tomb of Nazarick

The Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, the throne room on the 10th floor.

Ainz, who had returned to his skeleton form, sat on the throne. On his right hand side, there was a gorgeous golden staff with nine snake heads floating. It was the artifact from the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown.

And at the bottom of the stairs, kneeling on one knee was a whole row of powerful alien warriors with different appearances and body shapes.

Ainz spoke in what he thought was the most authoritative tone, "This is the situation. Do you have anything to say?"

After a pause, he continued, "I allow you to speak freely. Right now, Nazarick needs the wisdom of you guardians."

Hearing this, the beautiful succubus with horns on her head and wings on her waist looked terrified and said, "Ainz-sama, only your wisdom can shine through the ages. We are terrified that we can never match your wisdom."

With the Guardian Chief Steward Albedo taking the lead, the other Guardians followed suit:

“That is to say, Master Ainz is a combination of wisdom and strength.”

"The Supreme Being who unites all the Supreme Beings."

"The greatest being in the world!"

A series of compliments came at him, making Ainz confused.

But he still has self-awareness.

What's the "wisdom that shines through the ages"? I'm just a social animal who likes to play games and spend money. If I hadn't accidentally traveled through time, I would still be worrying about next month's salary...

Ainz placed the white knuckles on his brow bone and tapped them gently a few times. "Alright, enough of the meaningless compliments. What I need is your honest opinion."

As he spoke, he fixed his eyes on a well-dressed, diamond-eyed demon with a slicked-back hair. "Demiurge, you are the think tank of the Great Tomb. I want to hear your thoughts."

When his name was called, Demiurge bowed his head respectfully.

After a moment, he prepared what he wanted to say in his mind, and whispered, "Excuse me, Master Ainz, but we still have too little information... Although we already know that the adventurer named JOJO has the blessing of the gods in his body, what is the essence of the gods? We have no idea.

So my advice is, plan for that.”

If you want to defeat your enemy, you must first understand your enemy.

Demiurge suggested, "In my humble opinion, the identity of Momon is the best choice to approach him."

At this point, Demiurge's cunning face couldn't help but show deep admiration.

He raised his head, his face flushed with excitement, "I guess Ainz-sama had anticipated this situation beforehand, so he was active in the human world as the adventurer Momon?"

Ainz was stunned for a moment, then stammered, "Ah, yes, that's it... That's right."

but.

He pretended to be calm on the surface, but he was already roaring in his heart.

"What does this have to do with anything?"

"I just wanted to go out and gather intelligence, and experience the feeling of being an adventurer. Who could have thought that this would happen!"

“No, we can’t be too obvious, otherwise Demiurge and the others will find out…”

Ainz made up his mind and gave a wry smile. “Although I had expected this, it still feels very difficult to encounter such a situation.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the guardians below could not help but refute.

“Although modesty is a virtue, it is not necessary for a supreme being like you, Ainz-sama.”

"That's it!"

"That's what I think, too."

“If you are truly troubled, Ainz-sama, I am willing to eliminate all danger for you and nip the crisis in the bud.”

“How rude, Shalltear. Do you think that Ainz-sama is incapable of killing him with his strength?”

“Ah… Lord Ainz, I have no such intention.”

“So - a lamprey like you will never be favored by Ainz-sama.”

"What did you say, Big Mouth Orangutan? Do you dare to say it again!"

Seeing that a quarrel was about to break out, Ainz felt a headache coming on.

Just about to speak.

The Ice God Setkos shouted angrily, “How dare you! We are doing this in front of Ainz-sama!”

In an instant, all sounds disappeared.

Ainz opened his mouth on the throne, but in the end said nothing.

He coughed lightly, "We must face the threat of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick. Besides, I am not as powerful as you think."

Without waiting for the Guardians to object, Ainz said firmly, "Alright, what I want to hear is not your evaluation of me, but your decision on the current situation. No one is always invincible, and no one is always immortal. Remember this."

Hearing this, Demiurge was moved and said with a smile, "Lord Ainz, you have indeed thought it through carefully. Haha, so you are testing us in this way."

Ainz: ???

WTF?

What time is it, and you are still standing here acting like a riddle teller?

Although he was furious, Ainz remained calm.

The guardians all looked puzzled.

Albedo, however, thought for a while and then looked at the huge skeleton on the throne with admiration. "Ainz-sama, you really are... ah, you are worthy of being the man I can entrust my life to."

so--

What did I hint to you?

Could you give me a little information?

Under the strong emotional fluctuations, the green fluorescence once again shone on Ainz.

After calming down, Bone King held up his head with one hand and said calmly: "As expected of Demiurge, it seems that you have understood what I meant. In this case, I allow you to convey my deep meaning to the other guardians."

Demiurge bowed his head deeply. "I will obey your will."

After saying this, the demon who represented cunning and cruelty stood up, put his hands behind his back, and smiled at the many guardians, "Do you really think that Lord Ainz has no way to deal with that messenger of God?"

The guardians were confused and had doubts in their eyes.

Demiurge shook his head slightly. "Only Nazarick is glorious and immortal. Even the gods cannot change this fact. Moreover, our potential enemy is only a messenger of God...

After all, he is only human.

Even if he reaches the so-called heroic level, how long can he live?"

"Oh——" The guardians understood a little.

The biggest factor restricting human growth is their own lifespan.

Let’s not talk about the undead like Ainz and Shalltear for now. Dark elves like Aura and Mare alone have lifespans of hundreds or even thousands of years.

Thousands of years later, the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick is still standing.

And what about the so-called messenger of God?

I'm afraid it has already turned into a handful of soil.

Therefore, no matter if it is a prophecy or a blessing, as long as the Great Tomb does not come into direct conflict with the man named JOJO, sooner or later, this crisis will disappear.

“The reason why Lord Ainz conveyed this news to us so solemnly is that he wanted to observe how we, the guardians, would react when faced with a crisis.”

At this point, Demiurge couldn't help but shook his head, "I have to say, we are... really disappointing."

He said self-deprecatingly, “As the chief think tank of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, I actually didn’t realize what Ainz-sama meant at the first moment.”

After saying this, he knelt on one knee again, facing the huge skeleton above him, and bowed his head humbly, "I am guilty."

Ainz: ⊙ω⊙

Really, I'm stupid.

I'm not trying to test your reaction to a crisis on purpose, but I'm really at a loss and want to get some help from you.

but.

With the foreshadowing of Demiurge, Ainz would not admit his previous gaffe even if he was dumb. He just coughed and said, "It's okay, Demiurge. Your reaction has exceeded my expectations. It's great that you can understand my deep meaning in such a short time."

"This is really...an embarrassment to my subordinates." Demiurge said in fear and trepidation.

If you observe carefully, you will find that the demon's body is trembling slightly, just like those well-behaved children who have received affirmation from their parents.

Facing such a Demiurge, Ainz was in a great trouble.

He was well aware of his own true intelligence, and was far from being as far-sighted as Demiurge or Albedo.

Sometimes, he even doubted whether he could lead the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick well.

Especially after the appearance of God's messenger, this feeling became even stronger.

Looking down at Demiurge who was kneeling on one knee, he pondered for a moment and said, "Then Demiurge, considering your position as the think tank of the Salic Underground Tomb, what exactly should we do now?"

Hearing this, Demiurge carefully recalled everything Ainz-sama had said and done since the meeting. He smiled slightly and said confidently, "Didn't you already tell me the answer to this question, Ainz-sama?"

also! Come! Up!

What exactly did I express?

Ainz felt like banging his head against the wall.

But he couldn't show it, so he could only ask back, "No... I didn't expect you to have guessed it, Demiurge."

Demiurge said proudly, "Yes, Master Ainz! If I cannot understand your deep meaning, then I will be failing in my duty."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, that's it!"

"Hmm... that..."

"Yes, that one!"

So, which one is it?

Even though the conversation was quite meaningless, in just a short period of time, the "Forced Calm" function had been activated no less than three or four times.

Not only was Ainz confused, the other Guardians were also puzzled.

Demiurge bowed his head and said, “Ainz-sama, please allow me to convey your insights to the other Guardians.”

Ainz waved his hand tiredly, "Let's do it, Demiurge."

Demiurge stood up as he had just done, and said to the other Guardians, “Actually, Ainz-sama’s answer is already very clear. It is - Momon.”

Feifei?

Isn't that Ainz-sama's identity in the human world? What does it have to do with the next action plan of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick?

Facing a series of doubtful looks, Demiurge said with admiration, "Let's not talk about how true the prophecy is. As a human, JOJO must be under our control at all times.

So, how do we control a human being with such special protection?

The answer is to approach him as a companion and let him grow or die in the script we carefully designed."

The devil pushed his glasses and said, "Speaking of which, we don't know much about the Divine Protection in JOJO's body. It may be difficult to kill him silently. Therefore, it is better to guide his growth according to our ideas."

But isn’t JOJO an enemy? Why should we guide him to grow?
