The four supreme beings appeared within the vast Round Table Room once again, and each took their respective seats, just like before.
A sigh escaped the bony jaws of the skeletal overlord as he sank into his marble chair, releasing his grip on the golden staff of Ainz Ooal Gown aing it float in mid air by his side.
Of course, no air was actually exhaled. It was just a habit Momonga still retained from his previous humanity whenever he could finally take a rest and ease his mind after a long, arduous time at work.
Yuuji, Aika, and Lelouch all folded their wings as they took their seats. The succubus immediately hugged her beloved’s arm aed her head on his shoulder, while the two slimes rested on top of the massive, round, marble table in front of Yuuji.
Momonga leaned back to his chair, the bzing crimson pyre that were his eyes dimming for a moment as he “closed” his eyes in this brief moment of reprieve and silenbsp;
Theraightened up once again and turo his friends.
“Now then… Shall we discuss what our move would be?”
Everyone heir heads in unison, agreeing to his proposition.
“The closest thing that will be happening is the Theocracy’s atta e Vilge. If I sider the timeline correctly… It might be happening around tomorrow m.”
Yuuji thought for a moment as he recalled the anime of Overlord.
In the ahe ses that happened with e Vilge weren't show truly happened for ematography purposes of the anime. But, given that the blonde vilge girl and her sisters run away from the attackers in her vilge a Momonga while he was fidgeting with the “Mirror of Remote Viewing”, he estimated the attack to be happening the early day.
“I make sure.”
“Please.”
Yuuji Lelouch as the tter closed his eyes. Then, when he ope, his eyes shined with brilliant white light for a few moments.
“Knights… Magic casters… In the middle of the night… On horses… Galloping… Hills to the edge… Pins…”
Lelouch closed his eyes, then when he opehem again, they no longer emahe blinding light.
“I scryed at Nigun, the leader of the attag for e Vilge. Yuuji’s right. They’re still on their way to e.”
No one doubted Lelouch’s words.
With the True Prophet css, which was the epitome of all divination csses, his sg abilities was not only uable, but also irresistible if the target did not have any divine-raem ented with specialized anti-divination spells. Evehey would only have a slim ce of actually resisting his divination spells.
The only sure way to prevent Lelouch from spying on them would be to be in the possession of a World Item.
No matter how high ranking or important Nigun was to the Theocracy, which he was her, there was no ce that he would be in possession of one just for a mission to attack a regur vilge.
Having been given a crystal which tained a seventh-tier spell to summon a Dominion Authority was already generous enough on the part of the Theocracy, and such a relic was only given to him because he was tasked to elimihe Head Warrior of the Re-Estize kingdom while disguised as the Empire’s soldiers.
Thus, it was literally impossible fun to resist Lelouch’s sg spell.
Momonga his words.
“I see. Then, we shall intervene as pomorrow.”
All of them nodded.
Intervening with the sughter had always been their pn from the start. However, they wouldn’t deal with Nigun’s group until they attacked the vilge.
Momonga, Yuuji, Aika, and Lelouned on intervening just like Momonga did in the anime.
That way, they would gain e Vilge’s favor as well as the head warriazef Stronoff’s gratitude.
These two things were extremely valuable, as e vilge would be their first real foothold on the real world for their pns, and the head warrior’s favor would also go a long way if they were to plete their missions.
Enough to let a few vilgers they don’t even know the face or name die uhe bde.
It was a cold, heartless decision. But they all agreed that it was the best possible decision they could make to ensure a smoother future.
“Should I e with?”
Yuuji asked.
While he had no doubt that Momonga would be able to deal with the Sunlight Scripture of the Theocracy, even if they summoned Dominion Authority, Yuuji was still willing to e with him for extra safety if he wa.
With him, a desdant of the True Light who’s immuo anything a low ranking angel like the Dominion Authority could throw at him, present, the enter won’t even be a battle.
Momonga thought for a moment.
“...I will be fine. I will have Aura secure the area along with her beast and, if things somehow bee dangerous, buy some time with her beasts. ”
Having seen his enter with the Sunlight Scripture in the anime, Momonga held absolute fidehat none of them could pose any threat to him even if he were to go alone. But of course, sihere’s still a ce that something might go differently, he still made sure to have Aura and her beast secure the area and be nearby in case somethi south.
“I’d like to e as well. It’ll be much easier to capture araformation from them if I just use my Geass and bring them all under my trol immediately.”
“That’s a good idea…”
Momonga rubbed his bony with his skeletal fingers as he sidered Lelouch’s words.
Making them fall into Lelouch’s trol would definitely make everything much easier and simpler. The only downside would be that the interrogators within Nazarick might not get a ce to enjoy themselves with the new prisoners, sihey’ll be happy to divulge any information they might seek.
“Ah, but before that, it might be a good idea to put up an anti-divination barrier onto the entire location. If I recall, someone from the Theocracy was sg otle in the anime.”
“Oh, that’s right! I think it’s one of the higher up members who specialized in divination spells. Isn’t it the Thousand League… something.”
Aika pursed her lips, trying to recall the title of the Theocracy’s divination specialist.
“Astrologer.”
“That’s it!”
Yuuji smiled at Aika before tinuing.
“The Thousand League Astrologer. They’re a member of the Theocracy’s stro group of fighters, the Bck Scripture.”
“Mm… Perhaps it’d be a good idea to start pnting spies oheocracy.”
Yuuji o Momonga’s proposal.
“I agree. After all, they’re the ones in possession of the World Item “Downfall of Castle and try” and used it on Shalltear when she was dispatched to apany Sebas and Solution to gather information iize.”
The bzing crimson pyre within Momonga’s eye sockets fred brightly along with the fme of hatred and anger within his heart as realization came upon him…
But immediately, his urait automatically kicked in, suppressing the inteion that suddenly fred up within him.
Yuuji was right… How could he fet? These are the people who attempted to put Shalltear, one of his dear children, uheir trol and forced him to fight and kill his own child to release her from the inplete mind trol.
His bony hands ched into fists as he shook his head.
No. He won’t let it happen. He swore on his life, he won’t let any of it happen the same way it did in the anime.
“That’s right… Then, it’s decided. I will give Shalltear and Sebas a World Item each to protect herself. And we’ll begin pnting spies iheocracy so we could watch their movements and strike them when they’re vulnerable. ”
Yuuji nodded his head.
“I’ll discuss this with Albedo and Demiurge tomorrow. But, I suggest taking the sloroach when it es to the Theocracy.”
“Hm? Why?”
“The try had ingrais toxic ideology of Human supremacy deeply into its people. They sidered demihumans as inferior beings and elves as sves. If we were to use force to destroy their try, their ideology would tio live and somewhere, someone would carry oorch along with a burning desire for vengeance.”
History was littered with tales of a small group of people who mao successfully wiheir oppressors through sheer will and belief in their ideology.
With a strong belief and will, the human spirit was nigh-unbreakable. And even if their bodies were to perish, the burniermination and will would be passed down on others and never die until they achieved their goals.
“It’d be too difficult to make sure everyone who believes iheology and ideology is dead. And their determination and will will tio be passed down. It’d simply be an endless cycle.”
“...Then what do you suggest?”
“Destroy their ideology.”
A look of shock fshed aomonga’s expression.
“I agree with Yuuji.”
Lelouch said, before tinuing.
“If we destroy their ideology and the people’s belief ihose up high will lose any influence. And then, if we e in and offer them a better ideology… It’ll be easier to take the try.”
Momonga nodded his head a few times as he slowly tried to uand Yuuji and Lelouch’s words.
“Oh! I have a great idea~!!!”
All eyes turowards the bewitg succubus, who suddenly raised her hand high up in the air while still hugging Yuuji’s arm with her other hand.
“Lelouch, what if you use geass on the Bck Scripture when they enter Shalltear! That way, we get the World Item a spies that are super high up iheocracy!!!”
Lelouch’s eyes widened as tless thoughts began fshing across his mind, sidering the possibilities and the pros and s of Aika’s suggestions.
“That’s… a good idea. No, it’s an amazing one. I’d o test if my geass could be dispelled by a high level dispelling magid if it could be resisted.”
While his geass might have the power of absolute obediehere was still a ce of it being dispelled or resisted with the myriad of magi this world. Even in Lelouch’s inal world, there was the “Geass celler” which was capable of reverting the effects of his geass and releasing the target from his influenbsp;
Although his geass had been “perfected”, as part of the reward from pleting the mission in his world, he still o make sure a it before he implement the pn with his geass as its crux.
“But it’s still an amazing idea worth sidering. I’m impressed, Aika.”
“Hehe~ Leave it to me~!”
Lelouodded at Aika as she winked with a bright smile. Theurowards Momonga.
“Then, I’ll be joining Shalltear, Sebas, and Solution during their trip to Re-Estize. And, I might as well joihere and help y the groundwork iize as a fn noble.”
With his geass, it’d be easy to take trol over some nobles and important key figures that would make it easier for them to move within the kingdom and do what they have to. And, with his presehere, it would be easier for Shalltear, Sebas, and Solution to work and do their job since he’d be present if they were to seek advid get permissions.
“If possible, I’d like t a few shadow demons and doppelgao do reaissane.”
“Very well. It could be arranged.”
Momonga readily agreed to Lelouch’s suggestion.
“Then, the hing I’d like to talk about is… Who would like to bee adventurers?”
