There!
Okay! We have massacred all of them!
Next, we will massacre the humans in this castle...
Um, since we don't know which one the emperor is, we won't do that!
But we will destroy this country if the emperor does not apologize to Lord Ainz!
Emperor, please hurry up and step forward!
Ainz Ooal Gown. Just who is he?
No, I shouldn't think about that now.
I am the emperor, Jircniv Rune Farlord El Nix.
I wish to talk!
He finally appeared.
H-He didn't run.
Old man, it seems I have underestimated our enemy.
It seems I must go to the Great Tomb of Nazarick personally to make peace.

Your Highness.
Your Highness. Will you please wake up?
I have not taken an afternoon nap in a long time.
Since I was a child?
This is the first time I've felt thankful for Gown.
True, your Highness is always doing something or another.
Why is that?
The Bloody Emperor is the one to blame.
In other words, yourself?
Pretty much.
We enacted many reforms so quickly that various things are unable to keep up.
Right, Vermillion?
Yes. We purged a lot of nobles after all.
We are lacking personnel in many areas.
A truly stupid man.
However!
If I continue to work at a hectic pace like this,
the next emperor will come to hate me very much.
The next emperor?
From where do you plan to take in an official queen?
Given the choice of within the country or outside of it, outside...
Princess Renner, perhaps?
Her behavior is praiseworthy, but she is somewhat sickening.
I get the unpleasant feeling that she makes mistakes on purpose.
Then, the queen of the Dragon Kingdom?
One who inherits the blood of the Brightness Dragon Lord?
Perhaps access the ancient magic of resurrection without the loss of life force.
Please give me a break, old man.
She is an old hag that stays young with magic.
Those two are the types of women I despise the most...
Your Highness, it is Leinas.
Open the door.
Excuse me, your Highness.
Come in. There is no need to be reserved.
Yes.
Your Highness.
We will soon arrive at the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
According to the message from a scout,
there are stationed maids that are waiting for your arrival.
Maids? At an underground tomb?
Your Highness, I believe the place we are going to is a completely unknown world.
If something happens, please come to me immediately.
Are you telling me we will escape using dimensional teleportation if needed?
If that is the case, we shall buy you time.
I... I will think of my own safety, first and foremost.
Yes, of course.
That was the promise made when you accepted becoming one of the Four Imperial Knights.
No, the trade...
Now, let us see what kind of man Ainz Ooal Gown is...
We have been waiting for you, Emperor Jircniv Rune Farlord El Nix.
We are here to welcome all of you. My name is Yuri Alpha.
My name is Lupisregina Beta.
I thank Master Ainz Ooal Gown wholeheartedly
for assigning such beautiful women.
First, we shall correct this unacceptable weather...
What?!
What is this?! I feel it has gotten warmer...
Old man! What just happened?!
Control Weather is sixth-tier magic...
I believe this is magic on a higher level than that!
This is amazing!
We shall move on now.
It can't be. No, impossible!
They are using Death Knights?!
Death Knights? What are Death Knights?!
Is it the same thing as the undead we have deep within the Ministry of Magic?!
Answer me, old man!
He controls so many of the legendary undead!
Your Highness. This is bad.
Even if the four of us worked together, I'm not sure we'd be able to subdue one.
This is dangerous. Seriously dangerous.
It is fine for me to run, is it not?
Run if you like.
However, you will become a soldier that is no longer affiliated with us.
I hope you do not meet the same fate as the workers who came here before us.
Please be at ease.
The Death Knights here are all ones created by Lord Ainz.
Created, you say?!
Yes. As such, they are absolutely loyal to the orders of Lord Ainz.
They will not do anything to hurt any of you.
Wonderful! Wonderful!!
Lord Paradyne?
Your Highness, what shall we do?
Shall we run using teleportation magic?
Perhaps we may still successfully escape at this point.
Well, only if the one who lives here is generous enough.
I like that expression better than your normal one, old man.
And let me ask you this.
Did you think I would try to escape?
As expected of your Highness.
No, my adorable Jir!
Please relax and enjoy yourselves here.
We have prepared something to drink.
Delicious!
What is this drink?! It has a perfect balance of sourness and sweetness.
It calms the heart...
I am fine going home with just this...
Thank you for waiting.
Lord Ainz has finished his preparations.
Please come this way.
Gold. Status. Power. Military strength. Magic skills.
And beautiful women...
Nothing I have will move the heart of Ainz Ooal Gown.
That is an existence many would consider a god...
I applaud everyone for keeping down the urge to run.
It looks like it would be a victory
if we managed to return home alive without harm to the Empire...
Lord Ainz, the Emperor of the Baharuth Empire,
Jircniv Rune Farlord El Nix, would like to meet you.
Thank you for coming, Emperor of the Baharuth Empire.
I am the master of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, Ainz Ooal Gown.
I sincerely thank you for welcoming us, Master Ainz Ooal Gown.
Lord Ainz.
I believe it blasphemous that an inferior species like humans
dares to speak to you as an equal.
Prostrate yourselves!
Stop, Demiurge.
Yes!
You are free to move.
We have done something very rude.
My inability to control my subordinates is to blame.
Will you forgive me?
If you wish, I will bow my head.
There is no need for apology, Master Gown.
Subordinates misinterpreting their master's will
and acting out of control is a common occurrence.
It seems someone from my Empire has done the same.
I am embarrassed.
This is the head of the foolish noble that sent intruders into your land.
Please accept it.
I shall.
What shall I do with it? It would be a waste to dispose of it...
Impossible...
Go. Join the line.
Now, Master Jircniv Rune Farlord El Nix.
Just Jircniv is enough.
Is that so?
Then, Master Jircniv.
Since my subordinate acted so impolitely,
I will, in turn, disregard the trouble your noble has caused to Nazarick.
Huh?
There is no longer any need for apology. You may go home.
We are going to become a bit busy now.
Because of all of you,
we now know trouble will come to us, even if we keep to ourselves.
If that is the case, we shall rise up and crush all such trouble.
What do you mean?
First, I will have any who dare cause harm to us pay for their foolish actions.
After that, the troublesome ones, too.
I will continue to eliminate everything until the quiet I love returns.
Then, how about it? Why not form an alliance?
You mean subservient to us...?
Hey, you!
So noisy! I demand silence!
Create a country in this land and rule over it as king.
I believe it to be a wonderful thing and a position worthy of Master Gown.
My Empire will do everything in its power to assist you in such endeavors.
I do not believe there is any merit for you, Master Jircniv?
I wish to create friendly ties with you and the country that you will create,
for the future.
I see. Then, I will look forward to it.
He does not demand subservience?
An absolute power...
Why would someone who is overwhelmingly at an advantage accept a request like this?!
I see. Wonderful.
Then, if there is something you wish of us now, please tell me.
I cannot think of anything on the spot.
Though, I would like to have a way to contact you quickly.
Then, I will leave my secretary with you. Loune Vermillion!
Yes!
Then, I shall leave Demiurge with you.
As you have forgiven his rudeness moments ago,
I would like to leave things to him.
Demiurge is a trusted aide of mine.
If you speak with him, I am sure any issues will be resolved with ease.
He has already made a move against us!
He sent us a demon that can control humans with his voice...
Today is the birth of a new alliance.
A day worthy of becoming a public holiday.
So right...
Really, so right...
Well, the emperor moved just as expected.
Lord Ainz, please allow me to ask a humble question.
I will allow it.
For what reason did you make that human emperor a collaborator?
We needed justification.
Justification...?
It is easy to rule over others with sheer power,
but such a method creates too many enemies.
A ruined country would throw dirt upon the name of Ainz Ooal Gown.
I see.
S-So that was what you were thinking!
Do you all truly believe that is all there is to the plans of Lord Ainz?
Huh?
What?
Oh?
What else is there?
Goodness.
Lord Ainz, it would be good to tell Shalltear and the others your true intentions.
As it will affect our plans henceforth.
A-As expected of you, Demiurge.
As well as the overseer of the floor guardians, Albedo.
You realized my intentions completely!
Uh, what true intentions?!
I cannot believe you had been planning all of this since creating the adventurer Momon.
Truly a strategic move to prevent the ruin of a country.
Momon? What is this guy talking about?
What do you mean?
Demiurge, I allow you to explain to the others what you have realized.
Understood.
That was the castle of a demon king.
Death was sitting on that throne.
But no, not yet.
This has not yet become a complete defeat.
Ainz Ooal Gown is a monster among monsters
that can create Death Knights with ease.
If he becomes our enemy, the Empire will fall.
And even if he were not our enemy,
there is a high chance he would kill the living for fun since he is an undead.
Any objections?
None at all.
I believe it is exactly as you say.
I agree. And I don't think that thing is something humankind could win against.
On top of that, he rules as an absolute overlord.
He has the charm worthy of a king.
On top of that, that monster is very intelligent.
Each move he made had meaning. He is an exceptional schemer.
I do not know how, but it seems he had a lot of information about the Empire.
Ainz Ooal Gown is a magic caster that definitely surpasses the old man.
If that is the case, why did he leave the tomb without saying anything?
Normally, the old man would have done anything it took to stay behind
to obtain new information on magic.
Yet, the old man did nothing.
It was as if the old man was not himself...
He knew?!
He knew of Gown's power from the beginning...
Your Highness? What's wrong? You look pale...
From when? The beginning?
Right, the one who discovered that tomb
and suggested sending in workers was Fluder.
He betrayed me...
Fluder Paladyne betrayed me!
I-Impossible, your Highness. Please do not joke!
In such a situation, how much damage will the Empire take?
Is it possible to move him to a worthless position and kill him politically?
The damage would be unimaginable.
His mere existence is enough to put coercive pressure on other countries.
If his demotion became public,
it would allow the movements of neighboring countries.
There is so much to do.
There is only one thing we must accomplish.
Our goal is to gather the Empire, the Kingdom, the Theocracy,
the Council State, and the Holy Kingdom together.
We must make a grand alliance to fight against Ainz Ooal Gown.
The Empire will pretend to help that monster while aiding the grand alliance.
In other words, if we are found out, we will likely be the first country eliminated.
If it were me, I would destroy the country as an example to the others.
No mistake about it.
Yeah, you would definitely do that.
I will take that as a compliment.
That is why we cannot be the ones to suggest the alliance.
The other countries must move together on their own.
At the same time, we must find someone who may be able to defeat him.
There is no one like that.
There is. We saw such people in that throne room.
I am sure that emperor will think in such a manner and act upon it.
A somewhat intelligent man is often easier to read than a fool.
In other words, the Empire will try to make us betray one another,
as well as create an alliance to defeat Lord Ainz?
There's no way we would betray Lord Ainz!
U-Um, should we just go ahead and destroy them?
Not a problem.
Everything has been going according to the plans of Lord Ainz.
Isn't that right, Lord Ainz?
E-Exactly as you say!
Lord Ainz is always looking a few steps ahead.
Without the hero Momon, we would have had to rule E-Rantel with fear and violence.
The Golden Princess may have worked as a substitute,
but we would have lost one of our trump cards.
She was exactly as I had analyzed from the information obtained by Sebas...
No, she was a much more interesting human than expected.
Yes, I want to meet her sometime as well.
I'm sure you will have a chance to meet her soon.
Now, Lord Ainz.
As you have planned from the beginning,
the preparations for establishing a country for world domination are complete.
T-True.
There is one thing we must now decide.
A mere king would be the same as any of those other worms.
We must think of a more befitting title.
I have no objections. Do as you wish.
Then, does anyone have any suggestions?
I have a suggestion to start.
I believe we should exalt his beauty and use Beauty King.
Huh?
Me!
We should appeal his strength and call him Strong King!
U-Um, may I make a suggestion?
Lord Ainz is so very kind, s-so, um, what about Love King, um, as his title?
Personally, I believe he should be named Wise King due to his deep wisdom.
W-Wise King? Anything but that...
Sebas?
I believe simply calling him King would be enough.
Then, it is my turn.
As the one who stand above all the supreme beings,
Supreme King would be fitting.
What about you, Cocytus?
Hm, Lord Ainz will soon be ruling over many people.
So, the one who leads by magic, the Sorcerer King seems fitting.
Yes. I shall take Cocytus's suggestion.
Once our country is established, I will call myself Sorcerer King Ainz Ooal Gown!
It's a deep and silent night
Nanimo kikoenai towa ni nemure
I can't hear anything, sleep into eternity
Lord Fluder.
Adamantite-class adventurers wish to meet with you.
They are two adventurers that call themselves Darkness.
Nageki ikari uzu wo maki todoroita sakebi mo
Sorrow, anger, winding a swirl, a roaring scream too
A god. You are truly of the tenth-tier!
Yami ni mayoi koe mo naku kiete itta
Without even a voice lost inside the darkness, I disappeared
I beg of you! Please make me your student!
I wish to peer within the chasm of magic!
Damashiai mo uragiri ni sae
Deceiving too and even betraying
I beg of you! I beg of you!
And what will you give me in exchange?
Mu imi datta nanimo nokosazu
It was all nonsense, leaving nothing behind
Everything! Yes, everything I have!
It's a deep and silent night
Nanimo kikoenai subete ga nemutta
I can't hear anything, everything was asleep...
Master of the chasm! Oh, deep one!
Soshite sekai wa mata kurikaesu mujihi na yume
And the world was repeating again, a ruthless illusion
Your Highness?
It is fine.
We must move.
This is not a war for a country's border,
but a battle to protect the future of mankind!
Next Episode
The Empire recognizes the Nazarick organization
led by Sorcerer King Ainz Ooal Gown as a country and announces it as an ally.
The Empire also demands the return of the lands near E-Rantel to Nazarick.
In a fervent meeting to respond to such an unprecedented demand,
Gazef recommends avoiding war.
Chapter 10, Preparation for War.
It's hard on the leader when there're many under him who're incompetent.
