"Shut up! You still want to act in front of me? I already know that you are the host of the evil god. No matter what you say, it's useless. Don't try to confuse me. I will definitely stop your evil plan!"
The Platinum Dragon King finished speaking.
Several guardians stared at him with murderous eyes.
“Lord Ainz, there is no point in saying anything to such a stubborn fool. It would be better if I could kill him. That way he will never utter a word disrespectful to Lord Ainz again!” Albedo was still very protective of her master. Even though Ainz was just yelled at, she wanted to cut the Platinum Dragon King into pieces.
"Even if you kill this body of mine now, it won't stop me from telling the truth."
The Platinum Dragon King was very disdainful of Albedo's murderous intent. He had already tested the strength of this player, and found that he was indeed very powerful. However, as long as his main body was combined with the armies of various countries, as well as masters like the Sword Master and Juesijueming, he would be able to destroy this player before the evil god was summoned!
“Body? So that’s how it is. You are just a clone now. No wonder you are so confident.” The villain in Ainz’s heart cursed. No wonder he felt that this person’s attitude was problematic. It turned out that he was really not afraid of death. Moreover, we also need to be wary of this guy’s real body. After all, this clone is already over level ninety.
"That's it."
The Platinum Dragon King looked at them with a smile.
He looked like he deserved a beating.
The originally murderous Guardians were dumbfounded for a moment. This guy was just a clone? That meant that even if they killed the clone, they couldn't shut him up. Thinking of this, they immediately understood why Ainz didn't let them do it. It turned out that Master Ainz had already seen through that the other party was just a clone.
As expected of Lord Ainz!
However, facing the admiring gazes of his subordinates, Ainz was confused for a moment. He glanced at Demigos and wanted the chief of staff to give him some advice, but Demigos, who had just experienced the blow of a failed mission, admired Ainz even more at this moment and did not want to show off his little wisdom at this time.
Because Lord Ainz must know the answer!
He just failed in his mission, and if he jumps out now, it will only make people think that he is a devil who is good at nothing except flattery.
Although he did not think that it was pure flattery, but told the truth, he also knew that his thoughts were different from those of normal people.
So for now he should just watch obediently from the sidelines and see how Lord Ainz changes the mind of this invader and makes him submit.
Ainz had a blank expression on his face. "Xiao Di, you are useless at the critical moment!" He didn't care at all that Xiao Di and his team had failed in their mission. After all, the opponent's abilities were too flexible, and the Guardians had no experience in this area, so it was understandable that they would fail. So he didn't know how much of a blow this incident had on the three Guardians.
Since Xiaodi is of no use.
Then I have no choice but to go ahead with this.
"Then let me put it this way. Your Excellency wants to destroy the Goddess Cult. Our interests are the same. Although I don't know why Your Excellency repeatedly thinks that we are in the same group with the Goddess Cult, our attitude is the same as yours. If Your Excellency just characterizes us based on some groundless speculation, then we will both suffer losses when we fight, and it will only benefit the Goddess Cult."
"Your Excellency, do you think this is okay? And if a war breaks out, I'm sure you can see that we have necromancers like me and summoners among us. With our abilities, we can completely make up for the difference in military strength. If the Goddess Cult uses my war to hold a sacrificial ceremony, the evil god you're worried about may really come to this world. I think you know what the consequences will be. That's not something we can fight against."
"And even if you want to doubt us, you must first show us our suspicions or evidence."
Even though I have said so much.
But what Ainz actually wanted to know was why the Platinum Dragon King suspected them.
"I know you're a 'player'."
The Platinum Dragon King suddenly gave an answer that shocked Ainz. Seeing the Guardians' shocked expressions, he continued, "Is this evidence enough?"
what is that?
Ainz was confused and puzzled.
Because he is a "player", does that mean he has a connection with the evil god? Could it be that it was the Twilight Goddess who brought him to this world? Could it be that they really have a connection with the Goddess Cult, but he himself didn't know it?
And who is this guy?
There is no doubt that he is a native!
But he knew so much!
"What does this have to do with 'players'? Explain yourself clearly, and who are you?!"
"I have nothing more to say to you. I am ready. Thank you for giving me this time. Please stop acting now."
Ainz saw the Holy Flame on the Platinum Dragon King.
Suddenly shocked.
"Albedo!"
boom!
[Chapter 93: Suzuki Satoru Awakens]
With a loud noise, the entire ground sank. Albedo stood in front of Ainz and the others, with a magic shield floating in front of her. An image of a demon was outlined on the black shield. Her skill "Wall of Jericho", the iron wall known as "absolute defense", blocked the "self-destruction" of the platinum hero.
However, if it was a self-detonation, although the noise was frightening, the power was too low. It was just a bluff, a trick to escape. Ainz silently used the message skill and asked a certain cadre in the dark:
"Did you successfully mark it?"
"Yes, we have successfully grasped the opponent's whereabouts. As expected of Master Ainz, he had long anticipated that the opponent would use this trick and made preparations in advance."
Ainz was a little embarrassed. Did he predict the Platinum Hero's move in advance? It wasn't that exaggerated. He just didn't have time to limit the space teleportation here. Although he could use artifacts to do it, he didn't want to waste the props when he had the upper hand in the current situation. In this case, he would consider what to do if the other party escaped, so he asked people to be on guard against this.
But later, the things that Platinum Hero said were accomplished beyond his expectations, and he really didn't know at the beginning that Platinum Hero was just a clone, so the real situation was that he just made the best choice by accident, and it was not as remarkable as his subordinates thought, he was just lucky.
"Call everyone to a meeting in front of the throne!"
Ainz gave orders to all the Guardians.
The current situation is urgent. The legendary hero has appeared, his identity as a player has been exposed, and his time travel seems to be related to the Goddess of Dusk. The amount of information revealed in the hero's few short sentences is too much. Next, they must think about how they are going to survive in this world.
When Ainz thought of this, he suddenly woke up.
"Yes, it's survival!"
Although he had encountered too many things recently, he didn't know when Nazarick's policy had changed even for him. Demigos seemed to have been secretly communicating with the royal family of the kingdom, and the previous intelligence was obtained from there. Now he had even taken over the inheritance of Eight Fingers and made it a subordinate department of Nazarick, and what he did made him confused for a while.
But he has not forgotten what their original purpose was. The first was to survive, then to make a name for himself and find companions who might travel to this world together. This is what he, Ainz Ooal Gown, wanted to do. Even if he knew that the truth about the time travel might be related to the Goddess Cult, what he wanted to do would not change.
“Although I am curious
The principle of time travel, can I return to the original world and the situation of other players? But if the purpose of the Twilight Goddess is to destroy this world, then even if I was summoned by the Twilight Goddess, I will not agree to this happening. The group of lunatics of the Goddess Cult are still my enemies now!"
After sorting out his thoughts, Ainz came to the throne room, and under the awed gazes of all the guardians, he walked to the throne, turned around, and sat in the position that symbolized the absolute rule of Nazarick. In fact, no one had ever sat in this position in the past. After all, the "Ainz Ooal Gown" guild was just a small family guild established by a group of like-minded comrades. The reason why it was able to rank high on the list was only because the guild had PK masters like Takimi and many krypton gold players like Ainz.
Therefore, there was no so-called ruler in the guild at that time, otherwise it would not have been Ainz's turn to be the guild leader, because among the guild members, he was at best a player who spent more money and was more addicted to the game. His name was not even in the top ten of the game player rankings.
Ainz recalled his past memories. He only remembered them now. He didn't know what he was doing before. Was he crazy because of fear? Why did he take it for granted that he was the supreme ruler? If the Platinum Hero hadn't suddenly pointed out his identity as a player, it is very likely that he would not be able to remember what he was like in the past. Sure enough, it was because of the soul of the undead named "Ainz Ooal Gown". However, the sudden shock made this self-righteous guy at a loss, and Suzuki Satoru's soul awakened again.
[Forced Calmness] Activate——
Launch failure.
How could such a thing still be useful at this point? Unlike Suzuki Satoru, who is a player, Ainz Ooal Gown has never experienced this before, the fear of being shrouded by unprecedented despair - because if a being of the scale of the Goddess of Dusk descends, everything in this world will be over - and Ainz Ooal Gown, who has reached the "peak" and cannot continue to upgrade, will definitely not be able to resist such an outsider character that exceeds the "full level". But Suzuki Satoru, who is a player, is different. If you want to ask why, it's because he, a loser, has always been a weak person, whether in reality or in the game!
“Ainz-sama…?”
Albedo, standing next to the throne, discovered that this adult seemed a little different from before. No, rather than saying that he had become different, it would be more accurate to say that he seemed to have turned back into the adult who had just traveled through time.
Suzuki Satoru heard Albedo's voice and looked up at the Undead King in front of him - Ainz Ooal Gown. That was another soul that was born in his heart. Because of his cowardice, he allowed the negative emotions of this body to form the soul of a powerful ruler shortly after he crossed over to this world. He also found that he was being devoured by it bit by bit.
“I was just a little bit away from completely replacing a piece of trash like you.” Ainz Ooal Gown sighed in disappointment. He had damaged Suzuki Satoru’s soul in the previous battle with Shalltear. He was just a little bit away from completely devouring Suzuki Satoru’s soul.
"Yeah, it's really just a little bit."
Suzuki Satoru also felt it was a pity.
If there hadn't been a sudden shock that awakened his soul, he would probably have allowed Ainz Ooal Gown to completely devour him, because that was the right choice. If it were Suzuki Satoru, he would never be able to withstand the pressure that Ainz Ooal Gown had to bear, nor would he be able to become a good ruler, and he would not have the confidence to manage the Guardians.
"Now that you have woken up, are you planning to face the ultimate despair by yourself? There is no strategy for that in the game, and you have also thought about the origin and destruction of the World Tree in mythology. Although the Goddess of Dusk has not released any information in the game, according to the information in the mythology, it is very likely that it will be the ultimate trial that will appear in the last version, although the game has been discontinued before it was updated to that version."
[Chapter 94: Suzuki Satoru's Enlightenment]
Yes, although Yggdrasill has a huge background design, it has been confirmed that many of the plot designs are based on mythology. The last version of the story in the game was updated to the plot of Valhalla and Valkyrie. Although there are other worlds and other mythological systems in the background setting of the game, such as God, and the appearance of NPCs such as angels, the official main updated plot is still Norse mythology.
In the mythology, the Norse mythology finally went to destruction in the ending of Ragnarok. Although the priesthood of Twilight does not exist in the mythology, it is a setting of the game after all. In order to satisfy the player's XP and for the possible opening of the second new game in the future, it is possible to create a goddess as the final trial.
Rather, Suzuki Satoru could not think of any other possibility. It is impossible to say that the Goddess of Dusk and Ragnarok are just a simple coincidence, right? And now there is information proving that the player's time travel is very likely related to the Goddess of Dusk. So there is only one possibility that can be thought of at present, that the Goddess of Dusk is the body of Ragnarok, and perhaps this other world is a leaf of the world tree in "Yggdrasill", and now the flame of dusk has begun to burn.
But currently
There were still some things he didn't understand, that is, why did the Dusk Goddess let the player travel through time? What on earth was his original world? To say that the Dusk Goddess needed the player's help was impossible. The level gap was too big, and there was no need to do so. And he didn't think the player would help the Dusk Goddess. This was not a game, and the player would not help the Dusk Goddess for the sake of his own life.
While Suzuki Satoru was thinking, Ainz Ooal Gown himself disappeared. After all, although they were two souls, their relationship was like two sides of the same coin. It was only because of the characteristics of their profession and race that new souls were born. After all, the undead race was a race that gave birth to new souls after death and inherited the memories of the original living. Suzuki Satoru's current situation was that he was born as the soul of an undead, but his previous soul had not yet died out.
And because of the current "copy", no matter how hard Ainz Ooal Gown thought, he couldn't think of a way to pass it, so he pulled out Suzuki Satoru, who was about to die, to take over. It was that simple.
It’s not that Ainz Ooal Gown disappeared just like that. This undead was also thinking about something. However, compared to himself whose justice value was negative, he felt that it would be more convenient to let Suzuki Satoru take part in the next matter.
In fact, Ainz Ooal Gown had been using Suzuki Satoru's soul to disguise himself, which is why he often behaves strangely, not like a truly evil Undead King, but sometimes he would suddenly reveal his cruel and ruthless side. This is because Ainz Ooal Gown is recycling Suzuki Satoru's soul, otherwise he would have been able to destroy this soul long ago.
Suzuki Satoru carefully glanced down. As expected, sitting in this position made him feel uneasy. Besides, these NPCs looked scary. If he had known earlier, he would have suggested that everyone in the guild get some NPCs from the mortal world. It wouldn't be like this now. In such a large guild, Sebastian was the only normal person. If he said something wrong next, they wouldn't be able to notice anything wrong, right?
If they knew that I was no longer the undead Ainz Ooal Gown, but a useless player who was almost killed as soon as I crossed over...
No, this secret must not be revealed!
"cough."
“Thank you all for coming.”
Suzuki Satoru imitated the way "himself" spoke in his memory. Although Ainz Ooal Gown's inner activities were also very interesting because he absorbed his soul, Ainz Ooal Gown was a strong man who could adapt and control the right to speak at any time. Could he imitate him?
“It is our honor to receive the summons from Lord Ainz. It is truly an honor to receive your thanks. So please give us your orders, Lord Ainz. We swear to serve you till our death!”
Led by Demigos, a group of people knelt down in front of Suzuki Satoru who was sitting on the throne. Suzuki Satoru, who was about to say something, triggered his passive skill somewhat unwillingly, but the skill didn't seem to work.
"Master Momonga, please give me your orders."
At this time, Albedo suddenly approached and said this in Suzuki Satoru's ear. Suzuki Satoru looked at Albedo in shock and saw a beautiful smile.
Although it’s just caused by the setting.
But it’s really great!
Suzuki Satoru's mood suddenly became cheerful, and he didn't even pay attention to Ainz Ooal Gown's complaints. No man could refuse Albedo. It was more like Ainz Ooal Gown, who could do this, was indeed an undead who didn't understand emotions. Even if his soul was devoured, Ainz Ooal Gown would never be able to learn this.
"You idiot, don't you feel guilty? That was the result of your naughty hands!"
Ainz Ooal Gown cursed loudly.
Doesn't he understand? It's because of the good things Suzuki Satoru did that he always can't help but suspect that Albedo's feelings are impure, and his heart is full of guilt.
“Everyone, be prepared for war. Our enemy is Dusk, a force that even the gods will fall in front of. The enemy is extremely powerful. Even Ainz Ooal Gown in his prime would find it extremely difficult to conquer it. However, there is a way to conquer it. Please believe me and act with me. The first thing is to build up the troops…”
Because of Albedo's words, Suzuki Satoru, who was full of energy, began to act. Although all his abilities were only at the mortal level and were completely inferior to Ainz Ooal Gown who was reborn on his soul, there was only one thing that made him stronger than Ainz Ooal Gown, and that was his awareness of being weak. No matter how cautious Ainz Ooal Gown was, as the King of the Undead, he never really thought of himself as weak.
But Suzuki Satoru is different.
Because he clearly remembered that he had always been weak. Without the encouragement of others and without someone helping him, he would not have been able to get to this point. His strategy did not pursue perfection or profit, but simply wanted to pass the level.
"Don't get us wrong. Our enemy is the Goddess Cult, not the Twilight Goddess. Don't get us wrong. We are not an evil group, but heroes who save the world. Even if we are doubted at first because of this appearance, as long as people see our determination, people will naturally support us. Don't misjudge our strength. Asking for help is a must. Let's ask for support from the strong in this world, including the hero just now."
“This is a world-class event, never
A guild can't attack this kind of activity alone, even if it's the number one or number two guild in the world. Recognize this and start taking action. We have to survive!"
[Chapter 95: Ainz Ooal Gown’s Invitation]
The invitation letter - it was an invitation issued by the third-party mysterious force "Ainz Ooal Gown" guild, inviting heroes from all walks of life to gather and face the crisis of impending world destruction together - in the letter, the Ainz Ooal Gown guild bluntly stated that they were demons, undead, and absolutely evil.
Si looked at the invitation in her hand and smiled beautifully. Just when she was having a headache about how to find the hiding place of the Goddess Cult in the Katze Plains, Ainz Ooal Gown seemed to have finally made up his mind to destroy the Goddess Cult. I don't know what method Ainz Ooal Gown used, but he has already investigated the location of the Goddess Cult. It just so happens that the gathering place is near this plain, so let's go and take a look.
The invitation letter appeared in the hands of all the rulers and strong men of the time. They looked at the invitation letter that was sent by unknown means and were greatly frightened for a moment. Not only because of the scary things written on the invitation letter, but what frightened them even more was the mysterious force called "Ainz Ooal Gown". The other party had already demonstrated a power that was superior to that of other countries just by sending the letter.
The executives of the Silian Theocracy held an emergency meeting. They were all extremely scared because in the letter, Ainz Ooal Gown's guild had specifically disclosed the strength of the five guardians and the leader, Ainz Ooal Gown, in order to strengthen its credibility. They were all Dragon King-level beings. Feeling the six powerful magic marks on the invitation letter, the executives' expressions were wonderful.
“How could such a thing happen? Could it be that this guild called Ainz Ooal Gown is actually able to rival Your Majesty, or are they Your Majesty?!”
"Can the contents of the letter be trusted? The evil god believed in by that cult is such a great being that even such a powerful player guild is so afraid of him. What should we do?"
"We can't completely disbelieve the information above, but we can't completely believe it either. What is certain is that the evil cult is indeed planning a disaster to destroy the world. But the Ainz Ooal Gown Guild is also likely to use this to weaken the strength of various countries. Don't forget the lesson of the Eight Desire Kings. But we can't just leave the evil cult alone. If their ritual can really summon that great god, we must stop it!"
Because Ainz Ooal Gown pointed out in the letter that the god of the cult is the God of Dusk, the symbol of the end of everything, and the enemy of God. Once the final trial of the world comes, even the world inhabited by the gods may be destroyed by it. At this moment, the high-ranking officials of the Silian Theocracy, who knew about the players, did not dare to continue to call the cult's god an evil god. Although the cult is indeed a cult, the god is not an evil god.
"According to the information reported by our scouts, the swordmaster seems to be heading towards the designated location without any hesitation. In addition, the players in Ainz Ooal Gown's guild have acted together with the swordmaster before. It seems that the credibility of this information is still very high."
"Then... let's let the strongest seat - the Black Scripture fight, and..." The chief executive officer looked at the 'monster' that looked like a girl in the corner of the meeting room.
Juesi Jueming was feeling a little sleepy at first, but when he noticed the chief executive's gaze, a charming smile suddenly appeared on his snow-white face. "I'm very interested in this matter. How about it? Do you want me to go out?"
"Even if I say no, you will still go. In that case, it would be better to let you take the troops with you."
The CEO heard about it.
Juesijieming received the invitation alone.
"Haha, got it."
Juesijieming jumped off the chair and left the meeting room happily. She wanted to go back and prepare for the trip.
In the conference room.
