Chapter 456: Storm is Coming
Angry, panic, scared...
Even though all those present were Guardians of the maximum level 100, they inevitably panicked after their Lord Ainz fell into autism.
Forty of the forty-one supreme beings have left, and now only one is left.
However, this supreme being had locked himself in his bedroom since returning from the fifth floor, and no matter how the guardians asked, there was no sound coming from inside.
"Tell me what happened at that time."
Demiurge, with a calm expression and almost no emotion, looked at Albedo who had a grim look on her face and asked.
Those who know him know that he is the kind of person who appears calmer on the outside as his emotions fluctuate more. Now, this extremely calm attitude represents the extreme unrest in his heart.
Although he is smart, he still cannot figure out the answer to something he has no clue about.
The only people who witnessed the incident were Lord Ainz, Albedo, and her sister. Nigret was not allowed to leave the Frozen Prison, so she could only ask Albedo who was accompanying her.
Upon hearing this, Albedo's expression twisted, her beautiful face completely shattered, and her mouth opened wide like a gorilla's.
“Damn it, if it weren’t for what he said, how could Ainz-sama be like this? Bastard, bastard, bastard, bastard, bastard, bastard…!”
"That's enough, Albedo!"
Demiurge scolded and woke up the frantic Albedo. Albedo took a deep breath. She also knew the urgency of the matter. Now was not the time to lose her temper.
In order to let Demiurge understand the whole story, Albedo started from the time they went to the fifth floor and continued to explain everything in detail until their return.
After they came back, Lord Ainz returned to his bedroom in silence. Occasionally, she could hear the sound of things being smashed. However, no matter when she knocked on the door, Lord Ainz ignored her.
Until the Guardians spontaneously gathered together because they were worried about Ainz-sama. Whether as a person of love or the head of the Guardians, she could not miss such a meeting.
“So, after that mysterious person discovered your detection and mentioned the names ‘Ainz Ooal Gown’ and ‘Suzuki Satoru’, Lord Ainz went berserk?”
Demiurge pushed his glasses and confirmed it again.
“Yes, it’s all that damn guy’s fault. Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it…!”
Seeing Albedo going crazy again, Demiurge did not try to stop her, but thought silently.
Although Albedo's words were polite, he could still sense the fear hidden beneath Ainz-sama's rage.
Sometimes we get angry just to cover up our inner fear.
When Demiurge figured this out, he inevitably fell into fear.
It's not the fear of powerful enemies. Neither the unknown world nor the hidden powerful enemies can make him afraid. His only fear is that due to the failure of the guardians, Ainz will be disappointed with them and leave.
Lord Ainz was the last Supreme left. Rather than punishing them after failure, he was more afraid that Ainz would leave in disappointment because of their failure.
He was actually quite sensitive and fragile, and this time Ainz's lapse into isolation made his entire demon heart ache.
"Hey, are we just going to do nothing here?"
Seeing that one of Nazarick's two think tanks was going crazy while the other was silent, Shalltear, who was a very smart person, felt a little dissatisfied.
“If you ask me, why don’t we just capture that bastard whose face we can’t see clearly and bring him back to the cemetery? Isn’t he with Narberal? Then we can just locate Narberal directly.”
Hearing this, Cocytus exhaled a breath of cold air and agreed, "I agree with Shalltear's suggestion. Since it is that mysterious man who has made Ainz-sama so angry, let's go and capture him and bring him back to the Great Tomb."
"Don't act so rashly."
Only then did Demiurge shake his head and say, "We don't know the details of that mysterious man. Since he can control Narberal's mind, we may also be tricked."
"Most importantly, since he knows the name Ainz Ooal Gown, it means he is not completely ignorant of us. And there is also the name Suzuki Satoru. What does this name represent?"
“Among the forty-one Supreme Beings, including Ainz-sama, there is no one named Suzuki Satoru. Furthermore, we do not have any memory of the name Suzuki Satoru. This may be a secret known only to the Supreme Beings.”
“That’s why, the moment he heard this name, Ainz-sama lost his composure, because it was very likely related to the departed Supreme Beings.”
Upon hearing this conclusion, all the guardians exclaimed in disbelief.
“Lord Peroroncino…” Shalltear couldn’t help but mutter.
"Master Bubbleteapot..." Aura and Mare held their hands together and looked at each other.
"Lord Takehito Takemurai..." Cocytus exhaled a breath of cold air and remained silent.
"Master Jadeite..." Albedo's eyes were lost in memories, but she soon came out of them, with a stern look in her eyes: "For Master Momonga."
Of course, no one heard the whisper, because all the guardians, including Demiurge, were lost in their memories.
After a long while, Demiurge was the first to come back to his senses and warned, “But now only Momonga is here… No, Lord Ainz is still with us, so we must never let Lord Ainz down, and we must never let Lord Ainz give up on us!”
“Since Master Ainz needs to rest, let’s each take action and present a perfect answer to Master Ainz.”
"Understood!"
…
"So what's left?"
Xia Yu returned to the Golden Light Pavilion with the Orb of Death hanging around his waist. While stuffing delicious food into his mouth, he wondered if he had missed anything.
Of course, while thinking, he also listened to the discussions of people around him and extracted useful information from them.
You know what, he actually understood something from those gossip-like discussions.
For example, the eldest daughter of the empire who was temporarily staying at the Shining Golden Pavilion , and her polite old butler, for some unknown reason, suddenly disappeared one day.
People who often come here can only guess that perhaps the eldest lady just couldn't get used to living here, so she has returned to the empire.
Of course, Xia Yu knew very well that the so-called eldest lady and old butler were actually Soluluxiang Epsilon and Sebastian of Nazarick.
One is a battle maid, a man-eating slime among maids! The other is a righteous old dragon butler. The two act together and collect intelligence about this world.
Now that he has suddenly given up on gathering intelligence and disappeared, it is very likely that he has returned to Nazarick.
“So, this is the butterfly effect?”
Xia Yu thought about it and once again lamented the omnipresence of the butterfly effect. After all, it seemed that only Lao Gu's order could make Sebastian and Suoluoxiang give up their important mission together.
It’s a bit of a pity. If he had met the two people here, he could have made further progress in his lonely old life.
Skipping this little episode, Xia Yu continued thinking according to the original work.
After the story of the cemetery and the wise king of the forest ends, it will be Shalltear's betrayal, the surrender of the lizardmen tribe, the turmoil in the capital, and the establishment of the Sorcerous Kingdom...
There are also stories about the Dwarf Kingdom, Frost Dragon, Holy Kingdom, Half-forest Elves, etc. "O VERLORD" was not finished until Xia Yu traveled through time .
Moreover, it was mentioned in the original novel's spin-off that the Kingdom and Empire of Re-Yestije were only a corner located in the northwest corner of the continent, and the country in the middle of the continent was the real country.
"Well...how about building a country?"
Suddenly, this idea came to Xia Yu's mind. Since it was a different world anyway, why not try being the first emperor?
Learn from Zheng Ge, make the writing system uniform and the wheel gauge standard, then wield the sword and unify the country.
"Fuck, it's on fire!"
Xia Yu slapped the table and shouted loudly, causing everyone around to look at him in surprise.
But Xia Yu ignored these gazes. He wanted to be the first emperor, so he learned from Zhu Yuanzhang, who started with a bowl and ended up ruling the country.
After thinking for a moment, Xia Yu opened the chat group and asked directly.
【Undead King】: Has anyone ever ruled the world? I'd like to have some reference.
[NieR: Automata]: …
[NieR: Automata]: Then you’ve asked the right person. No one knows more about ruling the world than me.
Niel Xiayu can proudly say that he is the most experienced in the group when it comes to ruling the world.
After all, he is a man who ruled two worlds, one is the Neil world and the other is the Dragonback world. In the end, he killed the old god and became the new god.
The darkness and holy light used by the Xia Yus came from him, and he was also the first among the Xia Yus to become a god.
[Undead King]: Then... can you tell me how you accumulated your wealth? Did you build a country first or just rob a country?
[NieR: Automata]: Huh?
[NieR: Automata]: No, I just showed my identity as a human, and then I directly ruled half of the world. If AI helped me, I would directly rule the whole world.
【Undead King】: ￣△￣
This is fucking... what the hell is this reference for!
I almost forgot about the world setting. The world of NieR: Automata cannot be used as a reference at all. It is a unique worldview.
[Undead King]: Well, what about the others? Are there any brothers who are rulers who can give me some references?
[Clash of Clans]: I traveled through time and space and became the leader.
[Azur Lane]: I travel through time and space and become the commander.
【Undead King】: ...
Get out!
[Talos's Principle]: In my world, humans have become extinct, and I am the only intelligent life form, so... you know.
【Undead King】: ￣△￣
[Undead King]: So there is no normal world ruler in our group?
[Resident Evil]: Me.
[Resident Evil]: The reference I can give you is that, with so many balls in your possession, just use violence to unify the world, and then slowly correct the problems.
[Resident Evil]: You are a pretentious person. You do whatever you want, do you understand?
Xia Yu: ...
He was wrong. He shouldn't have come to the group to ask. After all, it was him, so his train of thought must be the same.
"Oh, never mind. Just do as you please."
Thinking of this, Xia Yu stood up and decided to do whatever he thought of. Anyway, he could do whatever he wanted.
He decided to look for the Golden Princess Lana Tierre Shardon Lail Vansef first, who was a human whose intelligence was comparable to that of Demiurge and Albedo.
It's just that Demiurge and Albedo were designed that way, so they gained such amazing wisdom after becoming real. In comparison, as a native, the Golden Princess's wisdom can almost be said to be a gift.
But geniuses often have extraordinary personalities. Because she is too talented, Lana discovered the filthiness of the human heart at a young age, and she is also a member of the royal family.
The intrigues and deceptions among royal family members are just as much as those among ordinary people.
Growing up in such an environment, Lana's mentality has long been distorted.
There are hidden elements of yandere, training, distortion, perversion, etc. in her character, but because of her outstanding acting skills, everyone thinks she is a naive princess who knows nothing about the world.
Only the second prince got a glimpse of the truth.
And in the original work, such talents, like other talents, were poached by Nazarick and became a member of Nazarick.
As for why he wanted to find the Golden Princess, Xia Yu naturally wanted to intercept her. Although the Golden Princess was a pervert, she was not completely a pervert.
In everyone's general perception, Lana is a perfect princess who loves her country and her people, is committed to abolishing the slave trade, has made her mark on the political stage, is compassionate, gentle and kind, and exudes dazzling brilliance.
Although this is a disguise, there is a saying that goes, when a hypocrite has disguised himself for a lifetime, he becomes a true gentleman.
When the perfect princess can always pretend to be the perfect princess, then she is the perfect princess.
So Xia Yu didn't feel disgusted at all, after all, it's the actions that matter, not the heart.
Because Lana is the third princess of the Kingdom of Re-Estize, if he wants to meet her, he has to go to the Kingdom of Re-Estize.
Going to the Kingdom is naturally a spontaneous trip. After all, there is nothing missing in the chat group.
After checking out of the hotel at the Shining Golden Pavilion, Xia Yu left E-Rantel with the hamster. There was nothing to stay for here anyway.
As for the Great Tomb of Nazarick, he was not worried for the time being. He would just deal with it as it came.
When he has time, he will directly call other Xia Yu to go to the dungeon. He even thought of a name for the dungeon, which is called Brave Fighting Skeletons.
Of course, having said that, Xia Yu is not so careless as to say this. He still has an avatar left in E-Rantel.
While the avatar and Narberal were learning magic, they were also monitoring Nazarick for any abnormalities to prevent any unexpected situations from occurring.
For example, there are two world-class props that have never appeared in the original work, and they are also one of the "twenty".
The so-called world-class items are specific top-level items that exist in the game "YGGDRASIL". Each world-class item can only be matched by another world-class item, even with super-level magic.
The 20 most powerful world-class items are called "Twenty", which have the ability to seriously disrupt the balance of the game. Therefore, the items are set to limit the holder to one use only.
After use, "Twenty" will disappear, so "Twenty" possesses unparalleled extraordinary powers.
