Who are you calling a stable boy?!

But would revealing it change the course of the battle?

...Momoga shook his head.

"Lord Momogha?"

Hearing Albedo's call, Momoga snapped out of his daze.

"How much time has passed since I gave the signal?"

Unable to explain his plans to the Guardians in advance, Momoga could only inform Albedo and Demiurge, who were in the Great Tomb, to prepare for his resurrection when he was about to die, through communication.

"Reporting to you, it has been exactly five minutes."

"Five minutes...?"

Muttering something to herself, Momoga calculated the time and looked around the jade throne room.

Looking at the guardians present, he hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"I need...one of you to give your life."

Momoga still wanted to give it a try.

Even after being resurrected, Cocytus will still regard Razmir as the creator of the Great Tomb, which means that for NPCs like the Guardians, resurrection may not be able to undo the effects they have suffered.

Or perhaps, Razmir really has a way to completely change the Guardians' perceptions from the ground up?

Momoga's uncertainty.

So he wanted to try again while Wan was not in the Great Tomb.

The guardians were naturally eager to sacrifice their lives for Momoga's needs.

Ultimately, considering the need for a control group, Momoga chose Cocytus, who wanted to atone for his crimes.

The test results sent a chill down his spine.

Cocytus, resurrected for the second time, still maintained his previous awe and reverence for Razmir.

This phenomenon exacerbated Momoga's anxiety, almost to the point where he was about to glow green all over.

Fortunately, before that, he heard some good news.

Zheng Jing has arrived.

Chapter 313: A Trivial Matter

The Great Tomb of Nazarick, Level 6, the Great Colosseum.

Back when it was still YGGDRASIL, this place was originally set up as a place for Ainz Ooal Gown's members to spar, conduct experiments, and resolve some conflicts.

When Momoga first arrived in this material plane, he summoned most of the guardians of the Great Tomb here.

Today, he is here to greet Zheng Jing.

"I have to say, your grave is quite impressive, you old man."

As Zheng Jing looked around at the shed he had built, he couldn't help but sigh, "It must have been quite an achievement to put it up like this."

If we consider the Great Tomb of Nazarick as a city from top to bottom, it is much larger than the fortress city where Yoyo is stationed.

Keep in mind that this was a fortified city that had been fortified and expanded over several months by the followers of Aomeide and Desna. To put it bluntly, even the capital of the kingdom was not worthy of being compared with it in terms of scale.

"Yes, we put a lot of effort into building this large tomb."

When Momoga, who was walking side by side with Zheng Jing, spoke, her tone was filled with laughter.

This was the first time he showed a hint of lightness during his conversation with Zheng Jing.

If one didn't know the context, upon first hearing this, one might genuinely believe that the two had a good relationship.

"Lord Momogha!"

Faced with this scene, the first one to be unable to hold back was Shalltear.

"Ok?"

Momoga turned around and saw Shalltear kneeling down.

"Excuse my rudeness, but I truly don't understand why you treat this person with such leniency..."

Shatia raised her head slightly and looked at Zheng Jing's face, which was truly ferocious, only slightly better than when she revealed her true form.

Momoga stopped and looked at her, then glanced at the guardians who were trailing half a step behind him and Zheng Jing.

"Do you all think the same way?"

Seeing that the guardians were silent, Momoga looked at Cocytus and Aura: "Cocytus, Aura, what are your thoughts?"

"Your martial arts skills are extraordinary, and as a martial artist, I sincerely admire you. Everything else is up to you."

"Hmm... I admit he's really good at fighting. As for the rest, I'll leave it to Lord Momoga."

"Ah."

Momoga nodded, then faced the Guardians and raised the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown: "Guardians, at this moment, I declare to you—"

“I, Momoga, will lead Ainz Ooal Gown to fight against the living god Razmir.”

Upon hearing this, gasps of surprise immediately arose from among the guardians.

"Lord Momoga?!"

"How could this be—could this guy have bewitched you—"

"quiet."

A dark, despairing aura surged forth in an instant.

"In order to fight against Razmir and his army of true gods, I asked Zheng Jing for help."

Looking at the now quiet Guardians, Momoga's tone softened slightly: "I know you cannot understand my decision, and I will not force you, or any member of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, to fight against Razmir for me."

“However, I cannot tolerate you being used by Razmir and turning your swords against me.”

"Therefore, before I successfully free Ainz Ooal Gown from Razmir's control, I will allow any of you who are unwilling to participate in this war to die and sleep, and be revived after everything has settled down."

“I know this is not an easy decision for you, but the situation is urgent and there is no time for you to dwell on it.”

"Choose, Guardian."

"Right now, right here!"

The words fell silent.

Momoga did not urge him.

Under his gaze, the first voice to break the silence rang out from among the guardians.

Whatever decision you make, I will stay by your side.

It is Albedo.

From her onwards, the guardians began to make choices.

Before long, the guardians who firmly chose to stand on Momoga's side included Albedo, Demiurge, Aura, and Mare.

Those unwilling to participate in this war were Cocytus and Sebastian.

"Lord Momoga, I am ashamed, but I still wish to make a request to you."

“Speak, Cocytus.”

"Please allow me to challenge Lord Zheng Jing once again."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jing, who was squatting idly on a high place, moved swiftly and arrived in front of Momoga and the others.

"Brother Ke, do you want to die at my hands, Old Zheng's hands?"

Facing Zheng Jing, Cocytus bowed his head respectfully.

"Thanks to you, I have gained some new insights, please take a look."

"You've got guts, good! I'll grant your wish."

"and many more!"

Just then, Shalltear, who had a worried expression, suddenly spoke up.

As if she had suddenly thought of a good idea, she called out to Momoga with a look of sudden realization, "Lord Momoga! I... I also have a request!"

Tell me about it.

"I'm going to have a showdown with him!"

Shalltia pointed fiercely at Zheng Jing: "You said you invited him to help, so he should have the strength to be worthy of your invitation! If he can't beat me, then why should he help you fight Lord Razmir?"

The guardians reacted in various ways upon hearing her words.

Albedo's expression was indifferent.

Demiurge sighed and rubbed his forehead.

"Fool!"

Aura then cursed out loud.

"Huh?! Little brat, who are you calling a jerker?!"

Shalltia immediately shifted her focus, glaring at Aura.

Just as Aura was about to reply, she heard Zheng Jing burst out laughing.

That was unbridled mockery.

"So you're saying that I, Old Zheng, am not capable enough?"

"What, are you scared? The weak are the weak. No matter how clever they try, it's meaningless in the face of an absolute difference in strength!"

Shatia stared at Zheng Jing, as if to defy his mockery, a sarcastic expression appearing on her face.

"Wow? What a boastful tone!"

Zheng Jing frowned and waved his hand in front of his nose: "Judging from your words, I'm the weak one. Then what about you, the supreme ruler who's been chased away and killed by me, Old Zheng, once and once...?"

He is a bit like Momoga.

"Aren't they just ants?"

"You! Lord Momoga! That's absolutely not what I meant! You, you bastard—"

"Alright, alright."

Zheng Jing picked at his ear, interrupting the flustered Xia Tia: "Let them fight then."

"It's not just you, it's all of you."

He glanced at the guardians.

"Anyone who disagrees and wants to fight, don't hold back."

As he spoke, Zheng Jing unleashed his domineering fighting spirit, instantly turning the entire arena scorching hot!

"Listen up, Lao Zheng. I'm here today for two reasons: first, I can't stand that spicy noodles, and second, I value loyalty and friendship, so I'm just lending you a hand."

"Whether you hit him with spicy noodles or you bunch of demons, it's still the same thing."

"If you keep arguing with me, Old Zheng, don't blame me for using my heavy stick. I'll make sure that nothing, not even chickens or dogs, are left on your grave!"

Chapter 314: It wouldn't be a problem to beat this guy down, right?

"and many more!"

Momoga certainly wouldn't sit idly by and watch things develop in the direction he least wanted to see.

“Zheng Jing, I apologize to you on behalf of Xia Tiya. Please believe in my sincerity.”

Facing Zheng Jing, Momojia bowed deeply.

"Lord Momoga——"

"Enough, Shalltear."

"Yes, yes! I'm so sorry..."

"Um......"
