Fag and subjected to the dispy of immense loyalty and reverehat could only be meant fods by the fluardians, Momonga froze.
Yes… Despite knowing this would happen and having prepared mentally, Momonga’s mind still short circuited for a moment.
After all, simply watg it happen through a s and actually experieng the sheer imposing aura of all the fluardians before him was a whole world’s differeogether.
He did not know how to proceed…
In a panic, he iently activated a skill. A dreadful aura roiled out over his surroundings as a halo of bck radianed behind him.
‘Crap!’
Realizing he had made the same mistake he did in the anime, Momonga quickly tried to cel the skill. But before he could, a tremendous aura of pure, heavenly divinity reverberated from his side.
Then, another aura, darker and more demonic, yet on par with the divine also began to emanate from his side. But instead of g with the divinity, it mingled, coalesced… before turning into an even more powerful aura.
He peeked to his side, and saw Yuuji and Aika, both emanating their auras with their wings spread proudly behind them.
The another aura began to emahis time from Lelouch as his jet-bck feathered wings spread open and emanated an aura of dark holiness.
At first, Momonga was shocked by their sudden as. But immediately after, a realization hit him.
They must’ve known he had made a mistake by releasing such a deathly aura in a panic. But instead of stopping him and embarrassing him in front of the guardians, they followed suit, to make it seemed like all four of them emaheir auras on purpose to ahe pledge of loyalty made by the guardians.
Momonga could not thank them enough for their sideration.
“Raise your heads.”
With a practiced unison, everyone raised their heads. Their coordination, so immacute that Momonga and the others could not help but feel impressed by it upon seeing it in real life.
Though for some reason, when Shalltear raised her head, they could see crimson red blood trig down her lips…
They all could not help but wonder why her lips would be bleeding. Except for Aika, who uood how a horny, slutty, obsessive girl in love would feel when feeling the aura her hubby was emanating. Even she felt a slight tingle in her womb when he did it.
Momonga shook his thoughts on Shalltear’s bleeding lips from his mind and refocused his attention on the guardians.
“First, I thank all of you for ing here.”
“There is no need for thanks. We are all loyal subordinates of the Supreme Beings. To us, it is our duty, our happiness, and our wish to serve reat masters.”
None of the Guardians spoke in opposition to her statement, as the guardian overseer had perfectly represented all of their feelings, their wishes, and their loyalty through the words she had just veyed to the supreme beings.
“...Momonga-sama, it is only natural that you should have doubts about us, for our abilities must be miniscule in the reing of all the supreme beings present. However, if given the order, we – all guardians will aplish any task set to us, no matter how difficult or arduous, with every fiber of our beings. We hereby swear that we will never allow the 41 Supreme Beings of Ainz Ooal Gown, our creators, to be disgraced by our as!”
““This we swear!””
All fluardians, following Albedo’s words, swore in unison. Their voices filled with power, and with adamant loyalty aermination that shan't be diminished by any number of foes.
Even if he didn’t have [Insight Proficy] or have known about their true feelings from the anime, Momonga could tell that their loyalty was genuine.
And upon receiving such loyalty and utter devoteness, a sliver of doubt emerged within his heart.
Ead every one of his words… His order would be carried out, without question, and to ead every letter he had uttered by every single being with the Great Underground Tomb of Nazaribsp;
Unease began to sink in… Would he lead Nazarick to destru because of his foolish decisions…?
‘No… That won’t happen. I am not alone. Not anymore…’
Any kind of doubt and unease was quickly washed away by the presence of Yuuji, Aika, and Lelouch by his side.
Knowing his own fws and gness, Momonga could not trust himself to lead Nazarito a better future. However, he trusted them.
He trusted Lelouch’s intelligend insight. He trusted Aika’s interpersonal skills. Arusted in Yuuji’s leadership.
His reliable teammates. Precious friends. With them by his side, he had nothing to fear.
“Excellent. Guardians, I have no doubt you will uand our aims and successfully carry out our ands. There may be some things which are difficult to uand, but I hope you will pay attention and listen. I believe the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick has been caught up in some kind of unknown situation.”
Momonga spoke with solemn expression, reflected by his somber voice rather than his actual facial expression which would be impossible.
“While I am unaware what caused this i, the Underground Tomb of Nazarick had been transported from its p the ss to a vast pin. Did anyone foresee the occurrence of this stra?”
Although Momonga knew full well the answer he was going to receive, he still asked regardless. With things iy not fully identical to the ones he knew in the anime, he o make sure for even the smallest of ges.
However, as he had first expected, the answer came ive.
“Regretfully, none of us have any idea of what is going on.”
Then, Momonga asked them if they had discovered something unusual in the floors they were guarding. And the answer remaihe same. ive.
“ –Momonga-sama, I shall iigate the fourth ah floht away.”
Momonga nodded.
“Then, I shall leave that matter to Albedo. However, you must be careful on the eighth floor. If an emergency situation occurs there, a situation may emerge that you ot deal with.”
“At that time, you should immediately call me. Do not hesitate. I will hahe situation myself.”
At Momonga and Yuuji’s words, Albedo bowed her head deeply to indicate she uood.
The eighth fluarded by the Sacrificial Fetus, Victim, was home to numerous extremely powerful NPCs w u. They were the st line of defeasked to stopping any invaders from getting past the eighth floor. Though, with Yuuji, Aika, and Lelouch’s appearan this history, no invasion, even the rgest one, had even mao see a glimpse of the eighth floor.
Although Albedo owerful in her ht, if an emergency situation occurs there, even she might not be able to ha herself. And the only ohin Nazarick, who could undermine all the defenses of the eighth floor, was Yuuji himself.
Thus, she did not utter any pints to his decision over s of his safety. It would’ve been a btant disrespect to the strength of the greatest supreme being.
“Then, I shall hahe surface.”
Shalltear said, her eyes looking at both Momonga and especially Yuuji ihusiasm.
She wao prove herself to be useful, not only to all the supreme beings, but specifically to Yuuji.
“It is fine, Shalltear. Momonga had ordered Sebas to take several scouts to reoiter the surface.”
“A-Ah… Yes… Yuuji-sama~”
Shalltear felt a shiver of pleasure go down from her ears, down her spine, and to her pussy when she heard her ered by her beloved in his beautiful, soft, yet anding voibsp;
Her disappoi from being uo show off her usefulness was immediately repced by her immense love and lust for her beloved.
Oher hand, surprise fshed across the faces of Albedo and all uardians.
Within Nazarick, there were four NPCs who were expos of melee bat. Cocytus had the stro attack power when using a on, Albedo had an impregnable defense when in her heavy armor, while Sebas in his true form was strohaher of them two in melee bat.
And there was one more, who was superior to all of them. The younger sister of Albedo. The Stro Entity of Nazarick. The only NPC who had ever given Yuuji the enjoyment of battle in a spar.
Sebas, who was capable of sweeping away anyone before him in hand-to-hand bat, had been assigo and a reaissaeam and be present in the field himself. They could tell how seriously the Supreme Beings was taking this strange occurrence, causing their guards to rise to the highest level as a result.
“It’s about time for him to return.”
Just then, Momonga saw Sebas jogging over to them, until he reached the Guardians geing before the four supreme beings ao one knee as well.
“Momonga-sama. Yuuji-sama. Aika-sama. Lelouch-sama. Five my teness.”
“It’s fihen, your report on the surrounding ditions.”
With a practiced, dismissive wave of a hand from Momonga, Sebas raised his head and looked around at the Guardians kneeling beside him. A grave expression apparent to his otherwise stoid stern fabsp;
“...The situation is critical. To begin with, the terrain surrounding us for a kilometer in each dire is a pin. There are no signs of man-made structures within that range. However, beasts Aura had lent me for this iigation and the Hanzos who served as scouts had reported sightings of a rge forest to the west and small vilge to the south of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick. As of now, I have ordered them not to iigate further and watch the perimeter.”
“I see… What about living creatures?”
“The beasts have reported that they’ve sensed several low level monsters within the forest; goblins and the like. As for the vilge, the Hanzos reported it to be a small vilge with only around 100 vilgers living within it.”
“Very well.”
Momonga nodded.
The forest Sebas mentioned must be the forest called the Great Forest of Tob, in which the “Wise King of the Forest”, a massive hamster-like creature with a scaled tail he named “Hamsuke” in the anime, along with two other “kings” of the forest lived.
As for the vilge, that must be e Vilge, where the young alchemist possessing the talent to wield any magic item was along with the young girl named Enri, who he would give two “Horn of the Goblin General” items and luckily summon a massive, powerful, goblin army on her sed try.
“Guardians, increase the readiness of each floor by one level. We are unsure of
what has happened, so do not acautiously. If you enter an intruder, do not sy them, but capture them alive at all costs. When you capture them, do as little harm to them as possible. I apologize for imposing such demands on all of you at a time like this.”
All guardians voiced their aowledgement and nodded in unison.
“, regarding the administrative operations of the Tomb. Nazarick’s defense ander, Demiurge. Guardian Overseer, Albedo. The two of you will be in charge of drawing up a more prehensive administrative system for Nazarick.”
“Uood. Will the pns for the ma system include the 8th, 9th and 10th floors?”
“The 8th Floor is managed by Victim, so it’ll be fine. ry to the 8th Floor is forbidden. I resd the order I just gave to Albedo as well. In short, entry to the 8th Floor will only be effected with my, Yuuji, Aika, and Lelouch’s permission. I will undo the seal a direct access from the 7th Floor to the 9th Floor. After that, pn for the 9th and 10th Floor as one whole.”
“Ah, about that~! Momonga, I summon my minions to guard the 9th and 10th floor~”
Momonga turo Aika, the crimsohat were his eyes fred brighter as he looked at her in shock.
Then only after he recalled their previous discussiarding the abilities they’ve received from the Group Chat did he remembered Aika’s ability to summon high level succubi at will.
“Very well. I will leave it to you.”
“Uhn~ Albedo. Demiurge. You may include them in your pn for the 9th and 10th floor. While they may not be as powerful as some of the more battle oriented high level summons, they’ll be enough to distrad gain time for a more appropriate response. I’ll even summon enough to protect all 41 homunculus maids in addition to those guarding the floors.”
““Uood, Aika-sama.””
Aika nodded in satisfa at the two guardian’s response, while inwardly, she patted herself on the back for successfully exeg yet another pn to realize one of her dreams! A maid harem.
Momonga then turowards the twins, specifically Mare.
“Mare. Would you be able to ceal and camoufge the Great Underground Tombs of Nazarick? After all, simple illusions would not be very reliable.”
Mare stiffe the utterance of his name, but quickly regained posure and began thinking deeply on the supreme being’s question.
Then, a few moments ter, he spoke up.
“U-Using magic would be tricky, a-as you have said, Momonga-sama. But perhaps, if we were to hide everything along with the surface… W-We could try c the walls with mud and then add pnts as camoufge.”
“Do you io soil the glorious walls of Nazarick with base dirt?”
Albedo said that with her back turo Mare. Although her voice was sweet a, the tone in which she had said it was anything but.
Mare’s shoulders trembled, and although the surrounding Guardians remained silent, their attitudes suggested that they shared Albedo’s opinion.
“No, that would be a good idea.”
All eyes turowards the supreme fallen angel of the highest order in shobsp;
H-How could tarnishing and dirtying the creations of the supreme beings with dirt and mid be a good idea…?!
The idea of camoufging the underground tomb and hiding it from pin sight n Albedo and Demiurge agreed with. However, the method in which Mare reeo do so was something they could not agree with.
However… a supreme being, Lelouch-sama himself, said it was a good idea…?
“We are located in a ftnd. No matter what we do, the white walls of Nazarick would be too spicuous if we want to remain hidden. The best thing to do would be to hide Nazarick with the earth and create multiple dummy hills as camoufge while using illusion to camoufge ourselves from the sky a us from outside.”
Momonga nodded in agreement with Lelouch before turning his attention baare and Aura.
“Agreed. Aura, Mare, I shall assign this task to you. While doing so, you may draw the necessary supplies from each Floor.”
““Y-Yes. U-Uood!””
The twin guardians both lowered their heads in acceptance of their tasks.
“Then… Is there anything else?”
Momonga turo his friends to see if they wished to vey something more to the guardians. Both Leloud Aika shook their heads, but Yuuji nodded before he turned his attention to Albedo.
“Albedo, begin making preparations to send scouts to gather information on the surrounding nation’s military strength and ey. We will o uand as much as we regarding the nations around us and probe their military might if we are to be able to deal with them if they prove to be hostile. We will discuss whiation to prioritize in a meeting tomorrow.”
“Yes. As you and.”
He then turowards Leloud Demiurge.
“Lelouch, Demiurge, I would also like for you to join the meeting to give your insight oter.”
“Alright.”
“Uood, my lord.”
Yuuji o the both of them, before turning to Momonga to indicate that he was done.
Momonga nodded gratefully in response. With Yuuji taking the reins, he wouldn’t have to stress and pull his ent hair over such things himself anymore…
“Then stly… I would like to announething.”
The guardians all looked up towards Momonga with solemn expressions, eager and ready to execute any and he would be announg.
But then, their eyes only widened in shock upon seeing the sight before them.
Figures… 40 jet-bck figures appeared behind the four Supreme Beings…
And they were familiar. No, they were unmistakable.
“From this day forward… The spirits and phantoms of every single member of Ainz Ooal Gown shall protect their home once again.”
