The Throne of Kings.

  Carved out of a single obsidian, the jet-bck throne, which back reached up high into the tall ceiling, sat as the most magnifit and majestic object within the Grand Throne Room of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazaribsp;

  By clearing and quering the Great Tomb of Nazarick, a level 80+ dungeon iempt, Ainz Ooal Gown was rewarded with the Throne of Kings as a trophy.

  When the user sits ohrone of Kings, a buff be seen on their status s. peared on the user's status s are the statistics of its allies ihe Great Tomb of Nazarick, whether they're alive or uhe influence of an unknown power/effebsp;

  It also gave those who sat upon it the ability to watd oversee the areas within the underground tomb iime.

  Moreover, it also had the ability to defend the tomb against any kind of divination magi the ehat was used on them, activating termeasures in its defense system as a respoo the enemy. The defense system possesses several yers of prote, which tributed to what made Nazari impregnable fortress when it es to proteg the tomb from external attacks outside.

  Its fun, however, was only sedary to why it was regarded as one of the most important items of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazaribsp;

  To Momonga, an item filled with the brightest and happiest of memories of when he and his friends would traverse and challehe dungeon, and attain victory together. While to the “NPCs”, it was a symbol of power, of divine and secur rule over the ey of Nazarid its denizens.

  All should kneel before it, until they were grahe permission to rise by the Supreme Beings.

  And now, Shalltear kneeled before the Throne of Kings. The reverence she held for the symbol of Godhood that ruled over her mind, body, and soul was etched deep into her heart.

  However, even more than that, her true reverend loyalty y in the Supreme Being who sat upon it, as well as those who stood by its side.

  While the World Item emanated a holihat Shalltear believed could never exist within the world outside of Nazarick, its presence was almost minuscule when pared to the Supreme Beings who truly owned her very soul and loyalty.

  To Yuuji and Aika’s side, Albedo stood oeps slightly below the ptform where the Supreme Beings stood. A beautiful smile spread across her lips, ohat had always existed as part of her visage.

  However, something seemed a bit different from the brief gnce Shalltear saw of her.

  Her familiarity with the succubus allowed her to notice the minute differences iherwise perfect, masked expression. In addition to her instincts as a woman, Shalltear noticed something more profound and deep hidden behind the mask of smile she wore on her Goddess-like tenanbsp;

  There was a sense of happiness, fulfillment, and… profound bliss.

  Though, that was all she could gze over before she kneeled and shifted her attention towards the Supreme Beings.

  Behiwo males kneeled with absolute reverence as they hung their heads as low as they could, unworthy to meet the gaze of the Supreme Beings before them. And behind them, the rest of the Bck Scripture simirly kneeled in silenbsp;

  “Raise your head, Shalltear.”

  Shalltear obeyed the and from the Overlord of Death ahe gaze of the twin bzing orb of fire that sat withihs of his skull.

  “Firstly, I am gd to find you uninjured during your mission. While the threat you’ve entered redicted by us, you still faced it with great bravery, determination, and loyalty. You did well”

  “I am only here thanks to yenerosity and kindness for lendihe World Item, Billion Bdes! Without it, I could not even begin to imagihe horror and nightmare of what would happen if the on of these is mao affect me. For it, I am eternally grateful to you!”

  A low grunt of aowledgement resounded as Ainz owards her.

  “I will allow you to have two days of rest before you return to your mission and rejoin Sebas and Solution iize. But before that, I would like you to ret the events that happe night.”

  “Yes!”

  Shalltear reted every siail of the event that happened, starting from the moment her carriage was stopped by sellswords to the moment she ehe gate to return to Nazaribsp;

  She did not miss a siail, even if they would highlight her failure and the ck of trol over herself she showed during her Blood Frenzy state.

  When she was done, she hung her head low once more, ashamed and fearful for what the Supreme Beings would think of her negligend failure. Especially Yuuji-sama.

  And because of that, she did not see him going dowairs towards her to pull her into his embrabsp;

  “I’m gd you’re safe, Shalltear…”

  Her eyes widened in shobsp;

  The touch of her beloved… His warmth. His st. His presenbsp;

  Everything she longed for. Everything she had ever dreamed of the moment she was created.

  Everything happened so suddenly that Shalltear’s mind could barely process what had just happened.

  But from her eyes… Tears of joy flowed down her soft, pale cheeks.

  “Yuuji… sama…?”

  The God of heart separated himself from her and looked into her crimson, vampiric eyes with a gaze filled with relief, happiness, and affe.

  His hands reached up to her cheeks, cupping it ever so gently, and wiped the tears off it with the utmost care and love.

  “Are you hurt? Are you affected by any sort of spell?”

  Shalltear wao shake her head and reassured him. After all, none of these is and whatever they could do from the piven to them by some inferior beings parading to be Gods could affect her in any way. Even a world item would be impotent against her, as she was in possession of the World item he and the Supreme Beings granted her.

  But no matter how hard she tried, her body was still frozen stiff, as if rigor mortis had somehow taken hold of her undead body.

  And before she could, words that could bend the very reality of the world itself were spoken by the greatest Supreme Being before her.

  “I wish… for any and all harmful aive ditions caused by spells or any other means that were not present upon her creation to be dispelled, and for all her wounds and physical injuries to be healed.”

  The words he uttered. A wish upon the Orue Light.

  It ell that did in Yggdrasil. A spell that was only avaible to the possessor of the Job Css [True Light], whily one could exist at any given time.

  A spell greater than the super tier spell Wish Upon a Star or its Clerical terpart Diviervention, for it bihe advantages of both.

  A spell that would bey acc to his wish.

  Upoerance of his wish, a ti blindingly brilliant orb of light appeared above Shalltear.

  Like a miniature sun that appeared before them, the light shined ever shtly, lighting up the grand throne room in a fsh of blinding light.

  Every single soul within the room shielded their eyes or prostrated right onto the ground to prevent themselves from being blinded.

  The brilliant sun slowly desded, and upon toug Shalltear’s head, it entered her.

  Her whole body immediately glowed in the same brilliant light as the sun. And a sensation of otherworldly ecstasy filled her entire being as her eyes widened in shocked awe and her lips opened in a silent cry of euphoria.

  Aaaahh~! It’s Yuuji-sama’s warmth~ It feels so good~!!!

  She could feel it within her entire being. His warmth. His love. His everything.

  And when the light slowly died down, the warmth did not fade, but rather lived within her heart.

  Apart from that, she did not feel any different, for there was no foul magic the is that were currently behind her, enthralled, that had affected, and no injuries they could’ve inflicted upon her.

  But still, his iion filled Shalltear’s undead heart with a happiness she could not even begin to describe.

  “How do you feel?”

  His voice woke her up from her dazed ecstasy. His handsome, perfect tenance came bato focus as tears and light no loood in her way to witness his figure.

  “Thanks to you, Yuuji-sama… I never felt better! As expected of Yuuji-sama~!!!”

  He nodded as his lips curled into a smile. Then, after o caress of her cheeks, Yuuji stood back up auro his pce to the right of the throne, leaving Shalltear longing, yearning, a for his toubsp;

  Her eyes never left his figure, which caused her to miss Momonga and Lelouch’s impressed expressions and Aika and Albedo’s proud faces.

  “Ahh… Ahem. Once again, I'm gd you are fine, Shalltear. After something like a Wish… I don’t think any affli or injury could have lingered within you.”

  Momonga looked at Yuuji with a look of shock, taken aback by the miracle that just happened he didn’t know Yuuji could do.

  “Yes! Thank you very much!”

  “Now then, about the group you’ve captured…”

  Momonga shifted his gaze towards Lelouch, who stood to his left.

  “I’ve used my geass on all of them. They’re all under my and. And as we pnned, we’ll have them return to their own nation and act as spy and, wheime es, a trojan horse.”

  Momonga nodded in aowledgement.

  “But we ’t very well let them keep something like a “World Item”. It’d be too dangerous. Moreover, that world item…”

  ‘…Would be o plete our mission.’

  Momonga did not utter the st part of his senten the presence of those present in this chamber aside from his friends from the chat group.

  And it was unnecessary for him to, as Lelouderstood what he meant.

  “Of course. We will be taking the World Item. Shalltear had killed some of them, and we ihe rest to make it seem like they’ve gohrough a battle of life ah only to live by a sliver of their life.

  Then, we make up just about anything that they had “faced” a Provideake the credit for defeating it.”

  With the ranger Shalltear “missed” returning to E-Rantel with news of a terrible vampire running loose around the area where the Bck Scripture was, everything would fall in pce for them.

  ‘Just as we’ve pnned…’

  A sense of relief and assurance filled their hearts whehing they’ve so carefully pnned finally fell into pbsp;

  Now, all they needed was to execute it and their missions would be pleted oer another. Perhaps, even the bonus missions.

  “Albedo, please take some of them who would’ve “died” itle aray kind of useful information you from them. Then, assign some shadow demons and spies along with the rest on their way back to the Theocracy.”

  “Yes, my lord.”

  Albedo bowed at the twelve-winged Fallen Angel and the brightest mind of Nazarick as he turowards Shalltear.

  “Shalltear, ihose who will be returning to the Theocracy, but not to the point of disability or death. We hem to still be capable of fighting. Then, you may return to your mission with Sebas and Solution iize.”

  “Uood, Lord Lelouch.”

  Shalltear lowered her head once again.

  “We will join you iize, though in our adventurer’s persona. Our reputation as heroes, especially after being Adamantite, will help you establish yourself amongst the high society. I will look forward to it.”

  “Me too~”

  Shalltear’s eyes sparkled iement as she looked up towards both Yuuji and Shalltear, and nodded.

  “Yes~! I look forward to it as well, Lelouch-sama, Aika-sama~!”
