Reincarnated in another world, I also want to be invincible at the beginning

Ainz was embarrassed to keep the Sword Saint. This was completely their mistake. They had originally thought that the opponent was a strong man from the Goddess Church, so they invited the Sword Saint to come and help. They never expected that they were just a group of rabble. This was simply too embarrassing. Ainz now understood why Demigod had lost control of his emotions before.

"The Sword Master doesn't think I'm a coward, does he?"

[Chapter 77: Princess]

Inside the royal palace.

A few guards and maids hurried by, and the situation in the palace looked no different from usual.

In the room of the third princess of the kingdom, Lana Tierre Chardon Layle Fansef, a low voice was heard: "Although I don't know what happened, the cadres of Eight Fingers were indeed killed, and their bodies have been confirmed."

The noble lady who spoke was Laquis Elbein Drew Aindora, a friend of Princess Lana. But if we talk about this lady, she is a well-known figure in the kingdom.

She inherited the bloodline of the Thirteen Heroes and possessed the magic sword held by the legendary hero. She was also one of the Kingdom's adamantium-class adventurers and the captain of the adamantium-class adventurer team "Blue Rose". She had already entered the realm of heroes before she was twenty years old, and was a girl who was more talented than the Kingdom's warrior leader Gazef.

This time she was commissioned by Princess Lana to investigate the affairs of 'Eight Fingers', but just when she had investigated some things, she received the news of the demise of the 'Eight Fingers' group, and immediately ran to discuss the matter with her employer.

But overall.

This was not bad news for her. Although the commission this time had failed, a steel-level adventurer would never be short of such a commission.

If it weren't for her friend's sake, she would not have accepted this commission. After all, the water in 'Eight Fingers' is very deep, and it would be dangerous even for a steel-level adventurer to fall into it. In addition, this commission was a personal commission from Princess Lana and could not be certified by the union. It was a thankless job.

"It seems that there are still some heroes in this country who do good deeds without leaving their names. But this is really a headache. If I could know which hero did it, I could ask my father to grant him a title."

Princess Lana said with a smile on her face.

Princess Lana, who was known as the "Golden Princess" and made slave trade a law, enjoyed a high reputation among the people. Although the princess' policies did not succeed in making the country better, her attitude of fighting against the nobles and for the common people did make many people still have some hope for the kingdom.

When the princess found out about the Eight Fingers organization, she immediately wrote a letter inviting her adventurer friends to help collect intelligence about the Eight Fingers.

However, before they could take any action, Eight Fingers had already been quietly dealt with by someone unknown, and this was what they were talking about now.

Laqisi did not reply.

The so-called reward may seem good, but once you accept it, you will be tied to the royal family.

The kingdom is now facing external and internal troubles, so I guess there won't be any fool who wants to stand out.

The Empire and the Church are eyeing the country covetously from outside, the royal family and the aristocracy are still fighting each other inside, and there is even an evil group like the Goddess Cult that wants to destroy the world.

Wow, just imagine that.

She could foresee the future of the kingdom's imminent destruction. Although it might seem cool to say that she wanted to be the country's protector saint, even she couldn't make such a heartless joke. Currently, the kingdom has seen a little hope, and even her parents are privately discussing when they should withdraw from the kingdom.

"Princess, I'm coming in."

Just when Lagis and Lana finished discussing this matter, a young man pushed open the door and walked in. He looked like a servant, but he did not knock when entering the princess's room. Instead, he pushed open the door of the princess' room with a dignified manner.

No matter how you look at it, this is too against the rules, but Lagis is not a stubborn noble lady. Although this matter is a bit bad, since Princess Lana doesn't care, then it's okay.

"Climb, come here and sit down." Princess Lana greeted the boy like a little girl.

The boy looks quite

Very serious, even to the point of being deliberate.

"Good morning, Lady Lana, Lady Eindora." This is natural, because this boy named "Clem" is an ordinary person. This is not a humble statement, but a fact.

Because Climb was an ordinary person with mediocre talents, even though he was allowed to join the kingdom's elite troops for training due to his privilege as a princess' attendant, his performance was not outstanding among the trainees of the same period. Precisely because the boy's talents were too ordinary, many people were jealous of his good luck and gossiped about the princess behind his back.

In this situation, the young man who is absolutely loyal to the princess naturally sets extremely high standards for himself, even trying too hard.

But the reality is cruel.

Even if he puts in dozens of times more effort, the limitation of his talent is still something that the boy cannot break in his lifetime.

In this world, there are geniuses like Sword Saint Astraea who can kill gods at the age of sixteen, and there are also losers like Climb who can only be an ordinary guard no matter how hard he tries.

Lagis watched Clem sweat profusely as Lana teased her, but she was still a little worried about her friend deep down. She supported Lana's decision and didn't think Clem was bad. But sometimes, things don't go according to one's will.

Especially the princess's marriage.

In the kingdom’s current situation, Princess Lana is destined to be used as a symbol of promoting unity. Now it all depends on how the king decides on Princess Lana’s future. But no matter what, Climb, who is of low status, has absolutely no hope.

If Climb had the talent of a Warrior Captain, there would be some hope, but unfortunately, Climb did not have any talent at all.

Even if she wanted to say something nice, she couldn't say that Clem's talent was good against her will, because Clem's talent was indeed the worst she had ever seen.

"Then I will go back today."

"Wait, by the way, Lagis, have you ever met the legendary swordsman?"

"Juggernaut?"

Lana's question made Laqis a little concerned.

"Lana, you are not trying to help His Majesty win over that person, are you? I advise you to give up as soon as possible."

"I'm just a little curious about that adult's situation, and don't you think the timing is a coincidence?"

"Well, it's not impossible to say so. But even if it was really done by the Sword Saint, it's unrealistic for you to ask His Majesty to reward him. After all, the Sword Saint ruthlessly rejected His Majesty's invitation on the first day he entered the city."

[Chapter 78: Setbacks]

In a luxury hotel in the kingdom, Tsukasa lay on the soft big bed, burying his face in the pillow in frustration. Although he had comforted Ainz Ooal Gown by saying that this time was not completely fruitless, it was just a polite remark. In fact, there was no gain at all.

That 'Eight Fingers' had no information about the Goddess Cult at all. It was simply an underground organization used as a stepping stone by the Goddess Cult.

Those so-called cadres were not taken seriously by the Goddess Cult at all. After all, the Goddess Cult needed to go through brainwashing to develop members. Compared with these mentally normal cadres, it was obvious that the slaves who had experienced all kinds of torture were more suitable to be developed into believers.

As the largest criminal organization in the kingdom's underground, 'Eight Fingers' mainly trades drugs and slaves, which makes it very suitable for the development of the Goddess Church. However, what the Goddess Church needs is only those commodities, and the organization itself is not what the Goddess Church needs at all.

Besides, what Eight Fingers did was so big that it would be liquidated by the kingdom sooner or later. Those nobles who protected Eight Fingers would one day replace the increasingly ambitious Eight Fingers, and this organization would almost come to an end. Any smart person in the Goddess Church would not choose to annex Eight Fingers, and the Goddess Church did so. Although they eroded Eight Fingers' industry and undermined the top management of Eight Fingers, they had no intention of replacing them at all, but secretly transferred all of Eight Fingers' wealth away.

Only a little bit was left for the Eight Fingers cadres to fight over and bleed, leaving these idiots outside to attract fire.

Even Ainz Ooal Gown's intelligence department was fooled by this trick of the Goddess Cult.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to find the tail of the Goddess Cult, which makes her so worried that she can't sleep well every day.

"It's terrible. I've killed so many, but it still feels like I can't kill them all. And the witch factor is awakening faster and faster. Now I have nightmares every night."

Si wanted to cover her face when she thought of the dream she had. To be honest, it was not a nightmare in the traditional sense. It was just because it was too chuunibuntu-ish that she thought it was a nightmare.

After all, every time she comes out she has to destroy a world or something, which does look spectacular. But as soon as I think that it is just a dream, I will feel really ashamed of myself as a witch. Having an orgasm in my own dream, isn't this a complete second-year syndrome?

She protested several times in her dreams.

But that guy seemed to not be fully awakened and couldn't understand what she was saying at all. It was just like a program or a plot CG.

"Aren't you a bunch of evil cultists shouting every day that you want to destroy the world? Why are you all hiding now? If you have the guts, come out and cause trouble again!"

Si has been a little irritated lately.

Although the Sword Master state can temporarily suppress the witch factor, continuing like this is not a solution. Even if she escapes to another world, she doesn't know whether she can cut off the connection with the Goddess Church. Moreover, she is not sure whether she can take Alice to another world. Even if she travels alone, the success rate is an unknown probability.

"Master, this is today's morning tea."

Alice came into the room pushing a dining cart.

The above dishes are all Wangdu’s famous snacks. They are too luxurious for breakfast, but considering their current wealth, this level of consumption is already a very common thing. They obviously haven’t managed their business well, but their wealth is constantly accumulating with each trip. This is probably the terrifying part of the skill “Huang Jing Lu”.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to make money.

Because it is possible to gain wealth through any action, and this skill maximizes this possibility. For example, if you encounter a maze, you will definitely encounter treasure inside the maze, and if you encounter an enemy, the enemy will definitely carry all his assets. Due to all these coincidences, even if a driver with this skill knows nothing, he will become the richest man in the world step by step.

It's very strange though.

I obviously have good luck.

Why have I been so unlucky lately?

The Goddess Cult was a complete accident, but with her luck, how could she encounter such a bad accident? It would have been fine if she was unlucky in the last life, after all, she was a god, and it was reasonable that she could break her good luck. In fact, not only did she not die, but she also traveled through time again and gained stronger power and talent. In the end, she was lucky.

But why did the goddess teach this? Although she never liked to rely on her luck, she did not deny it, so she couldn't figure out why she was so unlucky recently.

Could it be that Qiangyun judged that the Goddess Cult was a good thing for her? No, no, no, that was impossible. If she awakened the witch factor, she would become mentally retarded. Why was she so sure? You could tell by just looking at the followers of the Goddess Cult.

"Master, are these things not to your liking?" Alice was puzzled when she saw that Si did not move his chopsticks. She had tried these snacks beforehand and thought they should suit the master's preferences.

"No, I'm just thinking about something."

Si didn't feel much appetite.

Although she didn't know what the Goddess Church was doing, nor could she determine the location of the Goddess Church, she could tell through vague connections that the Goddess Church was vigorously developing believers. Yes, although the Goddess Church had suffered heavy losses recently, she didn't know how these guys had developed more believers. According to her feeling, the current Goddess Church was many times stronger than before, not to mention the losses. The number of people alone was not at the same level, and there must be a wise man among them.

If she had known, she would not have executed Negan so quickly. If Negan was still alive, she would have been able to learn about the situation inside the Goddess Church through him. But she didn't just get rid of Negan because she was angry. She was also worried that Negan, as a shadow demon, would undergo some changes that were beyond her control.

But now it seems.

The decision at that time was wrong.

Because of Negan's death, the Goddess Cult went out of control and developed rapidly. Moreover, there is now a wise man in the Goddess Cult who is not under her control and is controlling this huge organization. Although she doesn't care what that guy wants to do, as long as the Goddess Cult continues to exist, it will have a negative impact on her.

So they are destined to not be able to coexist!

Si didn't want to turn into a crazy witch.

Even though this was just her own speculation and had no real basis, she was such a cautious person, so she took action.

but now.

She was indeed confused.

Because she couldn't find anyone from the Goddess Cult.

[Chapter 79: Church Meeting (Part 1)]

"Number One, what's the matter with calling a meeting suddenly?" As flames lit up, phantom figures appeared in the dark cave.

From number one to number ten, all of them wore flame masks and flame cloaks. The numbers on their chests represented their identities. The numbers themselves were not rankings, but representatives of the areas under their jurisdiction.

The bishop in charge of managing the area of ​​'Re-Yestije Kingdom' is number 1. Although the number itself is not a ranking, depending on the region, someone like number 1 who stays in dangerous areas is one of the best among the ten bishops in terms of ability.

"Good afternoon, number three."

"Good afternoon, number one."

Number Three continued, "Could it be that something went wrong with the plan? Have you been caught by those guys? I heard that the Sword Master is actively looking for us, and there is also that Platinum hero... That guy is really a bit troublesome. He is unexpectedly alert. Number Nine's actions have been followed by that guy until now."

Judging from the shape of the flame figure, No. 3 looks to be an adult woman with a good figure.

"Is that so? Number Nine, do you need our help?" Number One asked with concern.

The figure of number one is a well-behaved girl.

Silent Number Nine shook his head grimly in refusal.

His human form is that of a little boy.

"Need not."

"There's no need to worry about Number Nine. His ability is a rare spatial ability that allows him to move freely in the shadow space. Even if the enemy's tracking skills are advanced, they won't be able to catch Number Nine."

"So how's the operation going on your end?"

"all the best."

The number '7' on the figure's chest was burning, and he looked like a young man.

The actions of other bishops also did not encounter any problems. Although forces all over the world are now investigating the affairs of their Goddess Cult, they had already secretly completed a new round of replacements and infiltrated various forces. Their spies were already spread all over the world.

"The reason for gathering everyone today is not for anything else, but to let everyone know that our operation has been successful. The Eight Fingers have done a good job of attracting the attention of the Sword Saint for us. Now the Sword Saint has lost our intelligence and has stopped moving in the capital."

"That's really good news."

No. 3 smiled and said, "Without that scary guy biting us, our next move will be much easier."

"You must be careful not to go too far. If you provoke the Sword Saint, we won't be able to save you. No. 1 took a big risk this time to trick the Sword Saint."

"Of course I know that. No. 7, you should worry about your own affairs first. You are serving the Saint of the Holy Kingdom now, right? Don't let that guy find out your identity, otherwise, you may have to fight your way out of the capital of the Holy Kingdom alone."

"You don't have to worry about that. Even if that happens, with the power of my magic eye, I can easily get out of the predicament."

No. 7 covered his eyes and looked very proud. After all, the ability he possessed was also superior among the ten bishops. Although his magic eyes had no effect on monsters of the level of Sword Master and Platinum Hero, he was almost invincible in the battle with the same level and weak ones.

“It’s gratifying to see everyone so confident. I’m looking forward to everyone’s achievements.”

"Speaking of which, No. 1, you are the one who needs to be worried about the most. Although your identity is indeed very advantageous in the kingdom, your ability..."

"Indeed, No. 1's ability is terrifying, but No. 1, your ability has no combat power. Do you really not need one of us to come and support you?"

"I have no complaints about my ability. If it was like No. 2's ability, it would be easy for people to find out, right? It's better to say that this ability is just right for me now."

No. 1's ability is brainwashing, and the effect of this ability is quite convenient. The most terrifying thing is that the brainwashed people will not show any abnormalities under normal circumstances. Now the kingdom is probably completely controlled by No. 1.

However, although No. 1 possesses such terrifying abilities, his own combat effectiveness is extremely low. Not to mention encountering a being of the Sword Saint's level, even the Kingdom's Warrior Captain and the two Elite Steel-level teams are difficult for No. 1 to deal with.
